Companion

Joel

Last checked 2026-11-03

Joel is the child in apartment 32 on Floor 3. His sister is Baby Teeth. The wiki’s window is day 2 or day 3, and only if you introduce yourself as a neighbor or a friend. Doctor or stranger fails the trust check.

A short window and a mouth

Start line: level 1, 60 HP, 10 attack. Bite replaces Attack. Teething replaces Guard. Eating a defeated enemy restores health and raises the maximum. That is the whole combat identity I will copy. Toothpaste shows up on Cursed difficulty as a trust item — six tubes, on the cursed-mode list — and I am not mixing that cost into the normal-mode recruit steps.

Day 4 he is no longer lucid. Apartment 32 closes on day 5. People who search “how to recruit Joel” after the stairwell usually missed the window, not a hidden key. There is no later redo on the public page.

Trust points are the dialogue currency. I will not invent the point values, because the article describes the introductions that work and does not print a spreadsheet. Neighbor or friend. Not doctor. Not stranger.

Baby Teeth is a separate fight in the same apartment’s story. Beating her is not the same action as taking Joel home. Her page has the phases. His page is the clock.

Trust is not a hidden meter I can publish. The introductions that work are neighbor and friend. The introductions that fail are doctor and stranger. Apartment 32 on day 5 is a closed door, not a puzzle with another solution on the same wiki page.
