Unlocking Gley won’t be easy, though, and depending on how much time you want to invest into the game, it might even be a bit of a grind.

There are two ways to unlock Gley in The First Descendant, with one being for free-to-play users and the other for those who don’t mind forking over a bit of cash to the developers.

The first method for unlocking Gley is to find Anais and collect a bunch of materials to research the character. The items you need includes:

  • Gley Enhanced Cells
    • Monad Shard (246)
    • Silicon (430)
    • Cooling Metallic Foil (38)
    • Gley Enhanced Cell Blueprint
    • 200,000 Gold
  • Gley Stabilizer
    • Metal Accelerant (519)
    • Felctorite (292)
    • Complex Carbon Activator (60)
    • Gley Stabilizer Blueprint
    • 200,000 Gold
  • Gley Spiral Catalyst
