Welcome to NGB and our Unicorn Overlord guide on the Winged Knight 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 Winged Knight Side Quest
To start The Winged Knight side quest, travel east from Fort Mainteneaut. As you reach the next town, Alain and Josef will spot an angel flying around. This will trigger a cutscene where she introduces herself as Ochlys and asks the prince to assist her with her task starting the side quest.
How to Complete The Winged Knight
For this battle, we used Hodrick, Alain and Lex as the unit leaders. Hodrick’s unit included Clive and Cloe while Alain’s unit had Travis and Aubin. Lex had Josef and Rolf.
Interact with the banners near where you met Ochlys and choose “Deploy to Stage” then “Yes”. This will trigger a cutscene where you’ll be introduced Mandrin, the new leader of the Black Talons leading to the Battle Stage.
Be on the lookout for shiny objects on the ground throughout the battle stage. You’ll be able to receive the following items: 3,000G, Healing Tonic (S), Empowering Draught
On this map, you’ll need to follow the northern route east to reach the enemy’s Command Post. Unfortunately, its guarded by two Watchtowers that will hail arrows down upon any of your units fighting within range of them. The strategy here is to have Ochlys take out the towers so that your other units only have to focus on the advancing enemies. You’ll mainly go up against Hunters, Fighters and some Thieves.
When the battle starts, you’ll have two groups of Thieves rushing your base. Having a Hunter like Rolf hang back and to take care of them really helps. Once the Thieves are gone, send one of your units to capture Fort Chandelis. For us we used Hodrick’s unit! He was chosen as a leader because his Leader Effect is that his unit takes less damage from ranged assists. In addition, Lex has the same Leader Effect! As you approach Fort Chandelis, the unit stationed there will use Provoke on any approaching units forcing them to fight each other. You’ll need to take them down to put a stop to this. Also note that as time reaches close to the 2nd notch, a pair of bandits will appear along the southern road from the eastern side. They will attempt to steal gold from your units then flee the map. If you have Lex, he can use provoke on them to prevent them from running away. Keep in mind that it costs 1 Valor Point per use.
Take the unit at the fort (preferably a unit that has a Leader Effect of Resist Ranged Assist) to liberate the Bridge and Watchtower. This will free up your other units to assault the Command Post with minimal ranged assist.
Defeating Mandrin will earn you the Fire Bow clearing the stage. This will also trigger a cutscene where Mandrin said that he’s only here trying to get coin for a friend with a sick sister. Doesn’t that sound familiar? You’ll then be given a choice to either free Mandrin or let Ochlys execute him. If you choose to execute him, you’ll receive 15 Divine Shards on top of the default rewards and Ochlys will approve of this decision. Letting him go may open up the option to recruit in later, but our winged friend will not approve. Either way, Sharon will end up joining the Liberation Army as a healer if you allow her.
