Fatal Claw NPC Vendor And Survivor Index

Our character index covers five named figures: Cain, Enma, Kisha, Rayen, and Sorron. Several NPCs that appear in the patch notes, the Mirror Chamber puzzle chain, and the competitor write-ups are not in our wiki yet. This page lists them, sketches where each one sits in the route, and explicitly flags what our content pack confirms versus what is single-sourced.

For the confirmed roster, see the character index. For the mirror puzzle that already names Lara, see Mirror Chamber puzzle guide. For the patch context that named Iedart and Masa, see 1.0.8 hotfix notes.

Vendor And Survivor Roster

The four rows marked Yes are anchored in our own content. The four marked No come from competitor write-ups only and should be treated as working hypotheses until a future source-pack revision or patch text names them.

NPCs Confirmed By Our Pack

These four figures are tied to a specific in-game text or patch note in our wiki. We can describe their role without inventing context.

Lara — Drink Vendor

Lara sells drinks in the hub village. Her stock matters because Adrian’s Tea is the named trigger for the Mirror Chamber puzzle and the Curiosity Killed the Cat achievement (15.9% globally per Steam achievement stats). The puzzle guide already cites her: “Lara is the drink vendor. Buy Adrian’s Tea from her inventory, do not pick a substitute.”

The practical implication: any hub-village drink vendor rotation is worth tracking. If a different NPC handles drinks in a different save state, the puzzle trigger may shift. The current Mirror Chamber guide assumes Lara.

Iedart — Dialogue Figure

The 1.0.8 hotfix explicitly fixed Iedart dialogue, including Korean-language issues, and used Iedart’s lines to add or correct Masa’s location information. That makes Iedart a dialogue-anchor NPC — someone whose conversation changes based on route progress and who carries location data for other figures.

The hotfix also tied Iedart to broader visibility fixes around Enma’s Labyrinth and Higasha Tundra. If Iedart speaks to Kisha near those regions, expect a route hint rather than a vendor transaction.

Masa — Location Figure

Masa is named through Iedart’s dialogue rather than a standalone introduction. That means the player learns where Masa sits by triggering the right Iedart conversation state. Until the route step that unlocks that conversation, Masa is functionally a blank on the map.

Mark — Villager

Mark appears in the 1.0.38 hotfix as one of three villagers (Jack, Mark, Rotri) who gained facial expressions tied to the Nia infection sequence. The patch note frames them as villagers rather than vendors or named NPCs. Mark’s role in our wiki is therefore tied to the infection-state cutscene, not a shop interface.

NPCs From Competitor Sources Only

The remaining entries — Albus, Max, Skyle, and the NPC-form Ain — are not in our content pack. The competitor fatalclaw-wiki.wiki character roster lists them, but our wiki cannot cross-check the spelling or location. Until a Steam community thread, a hotfix, or a future content-pack revision names them directly, they sit on this page as placeholders rather than confirmed entries.

If you encounter one in-game and the spelling or role does not match our character index, check whether the route step is gated by a story state we have not documented yet. Our wiki’s character pages explicitly avoid inventing NPC placements.

Cross-Links To Confirmed Characters

Each vendor or survivor entry should eventually link to an existing character page once their role is verified. Until then, the safest cross-references are:

• Cain character guide — hub-area NPC whose debt thread overlaps with vendor-state progression.
• Enma character guide — late-region boss whose dialogue context may explain vendor disappearances near Tenshukaku.
• Kisha character guide — protagonist; her route is the lens for every NPC encounter.
• Rayen character guide — wolf spirit companion; companion-state NPCs often share route gates.
• Sorron character guide — archive figure; his archive context may explain which NPCs vanish after certain story states.

Honest Gaps

• Four of the eight NPCs are unverified in our pack. Albus, Max, Skyle, and the NPC-form Ain are best-effort transcriptions from competitor write-ups. Spelling may differ across sources.
• Vendor stock lists are partial. Our content pack does not enumerate Lara’s full inventory beyond Adrian’s Tea, Iedart’s full dialogue tree, or Masa’s location details. Any full shop table elsewhere is single-sourced.
• NPC-vendor vs NPC-boss disambiguation is fragile. Ain is already a Sealed Spire boss. If a separate NPC named Ain exists, route context — not name overlap — must distinguish them.
• Route gating is undocumented. Each vendor likely appears only after a specific story state. Our wiki does not list those gates yet.

When a future content-pack revision or Steam announcement confirms a row, this page will shift the entry from the competitor-source half to the verified half and link to a dedicated character page.
