At this point players need to make a choice as all five characters can’t be taken to the main game. So, players must decide the favorite one beforehand and finalize it to bring it to the game. Remember, if you say no, players will get the chance to create a new Arisen character.

Coming to the Pawn characters, this will take a bit longer to bring them to the game. After you complete the first cutscene and bring the Arisen character, keep playing the game unless you reach the main quest of Act 1 named: Call of the Arisen. 

This quest requires players to head to the camp’s headquarters and examine the riftstone. After that, players need to go to the encampment’s gate to trigger a scene, following which, players need to exit the encampment and find the beast. Once you locate it, slay the beast and its associate minions. As soon as the task is done, return to the riftstone and report to it.

As soon as you report, you will now get the option to bring your pre-made Pawn into the game. The rule is the same for the Main Pawn as well; only one of the five pre-made pawns can be brought to the game. So, choose your favorite already. Make sure you are bringing the best Pawn with effective abilities, as he will be the primary companion of your Arisen throughout the game. For example, if your Arisen character is a melee character, choose a Main Pawn character with healing or long-ranged attack abilities to form a great team. 

However, bugs and errors are kind of normal in every newly-released game. Therefore, several players have complained that they didn’t get the option to import their pre-made Arisen and Pawn characters to the game. Don’t worry there’s a solution to this issue.
