Frinos as a Familiar

How to Unlock Frinos as Familiar

You will need to defeat Hecate at the end of Erebus and concoct the Faith of the Familiar Spirits incantation.

Do note that several attempts to defeat Hecate may be required for you to unlock the incantation, given that she gives out various incantations to Melinoe when defeated.

From there, you will be able to acquire Witch's Delight and feed it to Frinos so you could acquire the frog as a familiar.

Compel Shades Using Frinos

One of Frinos' unique abilities is Soul Bond, which gives you a +25% chance to manifest Lone Shades for each night.

This means that your chances to encounter and conjure Lone Shades will increase using the Tablet of Peace.

This ability gets upgraded per rank, allowing you more opportunities to compel more shades and gain Psyche.

Automatically Compel Shades

You will also be able to approach a Shade and hit the interact button to have Frinos compel a shade for you without playing the minigame.
