Welcome to NGB and our Unicorn Overlord guide on the Mercenary’s Trial side quest! Learn how to begin and finish the quest, discover the rewards you’ll earn, the key characters in our victorious team, and the strategy we applied to conquer the battle stage. Keep in mind that we prioritized tasks like freeing forts, capturing bridges, and clearing watchtowers before meeting the victory conditions to maximize experience points, war funds, Honors, and renown, all crucial for strengthening the Liberation Army.
How to Start The Mercenary’s Trial Side Quest
Travel west from Bellum Ghoria Hamlet in the southwestern part of Cornia to meet Berenice. Speak with her a 2nd time to get the details as to what she wants. This will trigger the quest to start.
How to Complete The Mercenary’s Trial
When you are ready, interact with the banners near Berenice and select “Deploy to Stage” then “Yes”. This will trigger a cutscene leading to the Battle Stage. For this fight you will be facing Sellswords and Cleric so make sure to choose the right characters for your units.
For this battle, we used the following units:
- Hodrick’s unit = Clive and Sharon
- Lex’s unit = Josepf and Chloe
We used Hodrick’s unit to liberate the Fort and the Bridge and Lex’s unit to take down the Watchtower. Afterwards, all of our unit converged to take down the Command Post.
Be on the lookout for shiny objects on the ground throughout the battle stage. You’ll be able to receive the following items: Barricade Kit and Smoked Nuts.
This map is pretty straight forward. You will need to follow the only path west to reach the enemy’s Command Post. First you’ll have to liberate Fort Colmarre and then the bridge just beyond that. There is also a Watchtower in this area that will heal injured enemy units that you will also need to deal with.
After taking the bridge, it’s a straight shot south to the Command Post. Berenice has a Thief on the front lines so you’ll want to use a Hunter like Rolf to take him out. Be weary of Berenice’s Valor Skill. She can summon additional units to attack you led by a Sellswords until you bring her down. Once you emerge victorious, you’ll be rewarded with a Brown Beret clearing the stage. A cutscene will trigger where Berenice will request to join the Liberation Army. You’ll gain her as a new character if you accept.
