Era dos Grimórios Enemies: Who You Fight and Where to Find Them
The enemies confirmed in Era dos Grimórios so far: Lv. 1 Bandits in Hayvale and Bandit Brutes in the Caravan Guard chain, with where and how you encounter each.
Quick answer
The enemies confirmed in Era dos Grimórios so far are bandit-type NPCs tied to quest chains: Level 1 Bandits in the Hayvale farm fields via the Bandit Hunter's 'Defeat Bandits' quest, and Bandit Brutes later in the Caravan Guard 'Defeat Bandit Brutes' quest. You meet each one by following its quest chain.
- Bandit (Lv. 1) – first enemy, Hayvale farm fields, Bandit Hunter questline
- Bandit Brutes – distinct bandit type, Caravan Guard quest chain
Bandits in Hayvale: your first enemy
The very first enemy a new player meets is the Lv. 1 Bandit, fought in the Hayvale farm fields. Your starting quest tracker points you to talk to the Bandit Hunter NPC, who gives you the 'Defeat Bandits (0/5)' quest — five bandits to clear from the fields. Each bandit is named with its level on the nameplate, so 'Lv. 1 Bandit' tells you exactly what you're up against before the fight starts.
These are beginner fights by design. On a fresh account, melee punches plus your equipped grimoire skill (for example, a Water skill rolled from your starting grimoire) are enough to bring them down. Completing the questline pays out well for where you are in the game: the 'BANDIT HUNTER – Defeat Bandits (4/5)' stage rewards 180 Yens and 19,800 XP, and the first completion of the bandit fight shows a 'MISSION COMPLETED' banner with Yens and XP that pushes you from Level 1 to Level 2.
Bandit Brutes: the Caravan Guard bandit type
Later in the early-to-mid progression you meet a distinct bandit-type opponent: the Bandit Brute. These are encountered through the Caravan Guard quest chain, specifically the 'Defeat Bandit Brutes (4/6)' objective, which rewards 250 Yens and 703,800 XP. The Caravan Guard chain runs alongside your broader progression — the same walkthrough that covers it takes a player from Level 1 all the way to level 39 and Mastery 66 — so expect Brutes as you work through the Caravan Guard quest chain.

The practical takeaway: Bandit Brutes are a distinct bandit-type opponent from a later quest chain — their 'Defeat Bandit Brutes (4/6)' objective pays 250 Yens and 703,800 XP, far more than the Hayvale bandit quests.
Making enemy kills count beyond the quest
Every enemy you defeat also feeds the NPC Hunter mission in the MISSIONS panel. That panel has Daily and Weekly tabs with a weekly timer, and NPC Hunter tracks defeated enemies toward a target — it was observed counting 12/300 toward defeating 300 enemies. Hitting the target pays Grimoire Spins plus temporary 2x Yens and 2x Exp boosts, so your routine quest enemies double as progress toward those bonuses.
That gives you a simple loop: accept the quest that names the enemy, fight that enemy where the quest takes you (Hayvale fields for Bandits, the Caravan Guard route for Brutes), and let the NPC Hunter counter tick up in the background as you go.
Where to go from here
Every enemy confirmed so far was met through a quest chain, so following quests is a reliable way to encounter more of them. For the broader systems behind these fights — how combat works, how your grimoire skills fit in, and how progression unfolds — see the Era dos Grimórios combat guide, the magic system and the beginner guide. Bosses are covered on their own reference, and general attack controls live in the combat basics, so this page stays focused on the regular enemies and where you meet them.
