She learned that there are various effects on items as a result of being thanked by the opponent who threw the item.

You have to give her an item stolen from Tanukichi's shop on the same floor. She can only be recruited on floors that have the shop, though you can restart the game to reroll the level if you need to. The item must officially be stolen, as you can't recruit her by giving her a shop item while still in the shop. Tanukichi's wrath can be quite severe if you steal too valuable of items, so it's best to steal only a single, cheap item to befriend her.

There are two basic approaches to stealing items. One is to pick up the item, then use a Grimoire of Collective Move to warp out of the shop with it, effectively making it stolen. Then you find Imp, give her the item to befriend her, and either run for the stairs or use a Grimoire of Return to go back to town before Tanukichi finds you and attacks. This can recruit her without getting you a [BAD] reputation or injuring Tanukichi, so there aren't any longer term consequences. Having to keep away from Tanukichi makes it tricky, however.

The other approach to stealing items is to defeat Tanukichi first. Get everyone positioned to fight her, then throw damaging items at her. After the third, she'll say that she has to attack you to defend herself, and then you'll be able to attack and injure her. Once you've done that, her shop is yours to loot freely, and without the severe consequences of teleporting out with several stolen items. This will prevent you from accessing her shop for the rest of the dungeon run, or in town for a while thereafter, however.

Give her an item stolen from Tanukichi's shop on the same floor, so that it still has a price tag. The item must be worth at least 1000 gold for her to accept it and join you. This is similar to recruiting Naughty, so the analysis there mostly still applies.

Needing the item to be worth at least 1000 gold makes a huge difference, however. That will cause Tanukichi to summon many monsters that are very high level to the floor. You'll have to avoid those monsters, as they'll instantly kill Imp, and very nearly do so to you. Various methods of recruiting Imp reliably typically require bringing several items into the dungeon. As she currently only spawns in Route Phoenix Place, which harshly restricts the items that you can bring in, it may be easier to wait for future dungeons that relax the restrictions on bringing items.

Alternatively, you can use an Sanctuary grimoire to defeat Tanukichi. Place the grimoire down (not read it), throw 3 damaging items at her (anything that is not edible) to trigger her combat phase, and then you can safely attack her from inside the invulnerability zone provided by the grimoire.

### Recruitment locations

* Route Phoenix Place, floors 13-16
* Route Fog Origin, floors 24-27

It is only possible to recruit Imp on a floor that also has Tanukichi's shop. The floors in Route Phoenix Place where she can spawn are much more likely than most other floors to have Tanukichi also spawn, however.
