Welcome to NGB and our Unicorn Overlord guide on As the Tricorns Ride 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 prioritize 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 As the Tricorns Ride Side Quest
Follow the main road south from Coquillage Town past Fort Rimitz then cross the bridge. A Mercenary will hail Alain asking if he’s got a moment. Choose “1. Go on.” When prompted to trigger an event with him and Travis. When it concludes, the As the Tricorns Ride side quest will start.
How to Complete As the Tricorns Ride
For this battle, we used Rolf, Clive and Josef as the unit leaders. Rolf’s unit included Travis and Alain while Clive’s had Hodrick and Chloe. Josef had Lex and Aubin.
Head to the banners near where the Mercenary came from and interact with them, selecting “Yes” when prompted to start the Battle Stage to kick of a cutscene. For this quest, you’ll be facing Gladiator and Housecarls so plan for that when putting together your units.
Be on the lookout for shiny objects on the ground throughout the battle stage. You’ll be able to receive the following items: 4,000G, Liquid Fortune, Revival Orb (S).
When the stage starts, deploy a unit and send them to Thulust Harbor to liberate it (you’ll receive some Smoked Nuts). Deploy a second unit and send them down to take control of the bridge. You may want to include a Hunter in this unit as you’ll be facing some Gryphon Knights.
After taking the bridge, send two units east to deal with Fort Mainteneaut and the Watchtower next to it. The tower is occupied by a group of Hunters while a pair of Gryphon Knights are stationed at the fort. We also left a unit at the bridge in case an enemy decide they want to rush our base.
Once the fort and tower have been taken care of, you should only have the Command Post left with a single bridge. Take the bridge then assault Bruno at the Command Post. Make sure to attack using the Unit that Travis is part of to get some unique dialog. Once you take down Bruno’s unit, you’ll be awarded a Brown Beret and the stage will be completed also triggering a cutscene. Bruno will also join the Liberation Army when the cutscene concludes.
