Welcome to NGB and our Unicorn Overlord guide on The Self-Effacing Sorcerer 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 Self-Effacing Sorcerer Side Quest
To start this quest, head north from Fort Thessalon then turn left at the T. Speak with the Zenorian Solider there who will tell you that the great sorcerer Auch is currently investigating the ruins ahead. Select “1. Forge ahead.” when prompted to receive the quest.
How to Complete The Self-Effacing Sorcerer
When you ready to get the battle under way, interact with the banners to start a cutscene leading to the Battle Stage. For this fight, you’ll be facing mainly Wizards and Housecarls so keep that in mind when selecting your units.
For this battle, we used the following units:
- Alain’s unit = Travis and Rolf
- Josef’s unit = Lex and Chloe
- Clive’s unit = Sharon and Hodrick
When the battles begins, you will be on the southeastern side of the battlefield and have to work your way around to the northern area by heading east. The first obstacle you’ll need to overcome is the 1st Watchtower. There are Sorcerers there that will fling down spell while fighting other units. You’ll want to try and rush them with a mounted unit to quickly liberate the tower and its surrounding enemies. You can also bring a Hunter like Rolf and use his Arrow Rain Valor Skill to deal damage to a large area of enemies. After that’s done, liberate Fort Veille then head a little further west and take the 2nd Watchtower. One thing to note, every time to take one of the watch towers, Auch will deploy two additional units at his location.
Be on the lookout for shiny objects on the ground throughout the battle stage. You’ll be able to receive the following items: Farsight Crstal, Beckoning Chime
Next, you’ll want to take the bridge, cutting of the troops coming from Auch. Send a unit to take care of the third and final Watchtower leaving just Command Post left.
All that’s left to do now is take down Auch to complete the stage. Josef really excelled this map with Chloe healing the small amount of damage he was taking. Defeating Auch will reward you with a Chlorotic weapon. During the following cutscene, you’ll be given the choice to either recruit him into the Liberation or execute him.
