Before doing this quest, make sure that you have expanded your units from 5 to 6 and at least 3 of your party's unit slots from 3 to 4. Additionally, hiring a Gryphon Knight mercenary is recommended for this battle. You can expand your units and hire Mercenaries by spending Honor in Forts you own.

In Black Knight of the Dunes, you will be using 6 units in total. 3 of them will be the core team and 3 will only be on guard at your command posts. You will also be joined by Liza's unit as the stage begins. We recommend the Unit Leaders listed above. Click on the leader's name to see our recommended Unit Formation for that leader in this stage.

Fran's Unit

Fran's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Magellan Magellan
(Sellsword)
Unicorn Overlord Fran Fran
(Gryphon Knight)
Unicorn Overlord Berenice Berenice
(Sellsword)
- Unicorn Overlord Berengaria Berengaria
(Dark Marquess (Axe))
-

Fran's Unit is the ultimate unit among all and can stand on its own even without a healer. Fran will be the leader of this unit for faster traversal in the sands.

The Sellswords, Magellan and Berenice will make sure that they attack multiple times and debilitate enemy numbers fast with their Killing Chain skill, while Berengeria ensures that an entire row will be destroyed using her Death Spin attack and she also has Eye of the Warrior Princess that ensures enemy attacks are at their lowest once the battle starts.

Recruiting Fran

Fran is a recruitable character and will join the Liberation after successfully finishing the The Priestess, Abducted main quest.

Having Fran in this unit will make traversing easier, especially in terrains where normal Cavalry units will have low mobility.

Ochlys' Unit

Ochlys' Unit
Unicorn Overlord Melisandre Melisandre
(Swordfighter)
Unicorn Overlord Tatiana Tatiana
(Cleric)
Unicorn Overlord Aramis Aramis
(Swordfighter)
- Unicorn Overlord Ochlys Ochlys
(Feathersword)
-

Ochlys' unit is designed to hit all enemies without the chance of them dodging anything. Have Ochlys as the leader for easy mobility.

Use her team on any Thieves unit and they will be gone in one battle. While Melisandre, Aramis, and Ochlys deal powerful hits to the enemies, Tatiana ensures that their HP will not be diminished.

Recruiting Ochlys

Ochlys can be recruited in the overworld after finishing the The Winged Knight side quest. After doing so, she will appear in the overworld with her shop, talk to her, and start An Angel's Request side quest, complete this quest and she will join you afterward.

Having Ochlys is useful since you will be dealing with traveling in the desert in this stage. It is recommended that you first recruit her before starting this quest.

An Angel's Request

Gryphon Knight Mercenary's Unit

Gryphon Knight Mercenary's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Chloe Chloe
(Soldier)
Any Gryphon Knight Mercenary Unicorn Overlord Rolf Rolf
(Hunter)
- Unicorn Overlord Bruno Bruno
(Gladiator)
-

This mercenary's unit is your best bet against Wyvern Knights.

With Rolf and Chloe being both powerful against flying enemies, they are sure to wreak havoc on flying units. Bruno can hit entire rows of enemies with his Wide Smash and can heal himself with Bulk Up. Have this team deal with the pesky Wyvern Knight enemy units and let them be gone.

Auch's Unit

Auch's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Auch Auch
(Wizard)
- Unicorn Overlord Nina Nina
(Warrior)
- Unicorn Overlord Alain Alain
(Lord)
-

Have this team on standby whenever you obtain a command post or deploy them at your command post in the beginning.

This team has Alain as their defender and so will be highly protected due to his Noble Guard. Auch and Nina are both the strongest in their suit on both Magickal and Physickal damage.

Recruiting Auch

Auch is a recruitable character and will join the Liberation after successfully finishing the The Self-Effacing Sorcerer side quest should you choose to spare him.

Recruiting Auch before starting this quest is recommended as he will be effective in fighting flying enemies.

Scarlett's Unit

Scarlett's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Scarlett Scarlett
(Priestess)
- Unicorn Overlord Mordon Mordon
(Warrior)
- Unicorn Overlord Josef Josef
(Paladin)
-

Have this team on standby whenever you obtain a command post or deploy them at your command post in the beginning.

It's a good thing that you have a third Magick user after rescuing Scarlett, she will be effective against incoming Wyvern Knight enemy units while Mordon and Josef deal with the armored units, should they decide to approach your command post.

Yahna's Unit

Yahna's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Yahna Yahna
(Witch)
- Unicorn Overlord Kitra Kitra
(Warrior)
- Unicorn Overlord Travis Travis
(Thief)
-

Have this team on standby whenever you obtain a command post or deploy them at your command post in the beginning.

Your magick user in this unit will be Yahna and your primary fighter will be Kitra. Travis does not deal much damage but can Evade incoming attacks, he can also deal poison damage with his Toxic Throw. This team does not lack strength though since Yahna can use her Magick Conferral skill on any ally and make their attacks more crippling.

Recruiting Yahna

Yahna is a recruitable character and will join the Liberation after successfully finishing the The Ravaged Swamp main quest.

Recruiting Yahna before starting this quest is recommended as she will be effective in this battle.

# Step by Step Guide
1
Deploy and Separate
Deploy all units. You will be joined by Liza's team in this stage. Make Fran garrison in the command post up north, the enemies here will be defeated easily by Fran's unit. Garrison here and collect a Dew of Skill. Have Ochlys go to the Muttiwaran Ruins below and get a Dew of Keenness. At the same time, command your mercenary's unit to head to Jonnich Ruins nearby and collect War Funds 7000G, and make Liza tail this team for Ranged Assist.
2
Use Smoke Bolt
As you get near the watchtower on the way to Muttiwaran Ruins, you will have a short story event where Liza informs you that she can use her Smoke Bolt to stop enemy units from giving assists. Use this on the enemies on the Watchtower so they cannot provide Ranged Assist to their allies. Since Ochlys will pass this tower on the way to the ruins, have her deal with these enemies first and if Liza is nearby, you can utilize her Ranged Assist.
3
Collect Treasures Nearby
Have each team collect the treasures near their garrisoned places. Collect the treasure on the other side of the rocky terrain beside Fran's command post to get a Light Tailfeather, after this have her regroup with the core team. Get the treasure just beside the Muttiwaran Ruins and you will collect War Funds 5000 G. Lastly, have your mercenary knight go to the treasure beside the Encampment and acquire a Camping Set (M). Since Ochlys' unit is the nearest to her collected treasure, after her task is done, you can make her follow your mercenary's unit.
4 Protect Your Command Posts
Having Acquired two command posts by now, guarding them is very essential. If your opponent takes over all of your command posts, this will result in your defeat. Feel free to deploy a unit for each command post you own and have them on standby. The enemies that will mostly approach and take over your base are Wyvern Knights.
5
Take Over the Remaining Command Posts
Now that all is set, you can finally take over the two remaining command posts. Have Ochlys' team take over the command post nearby below the second Watchtower where an NPC will provide you with a Giant's Canopy, her unit will be tailed by Liza for Ranged Assist. Remember that once you take over a command post, you should deploy a unit to guard it. Meanwhile, have your mercenary's unit defeat any wandering enemies nearby. Fran's team will be the one to finish this as she takes over the final command post, but make sure she passes by and garrisons in Cuvale Ruins to collect War Funds 7000G. This will be on the way so it will not deter you from your goal. Also, feel free to use Liza's Valor Skill, Smoke Bolt whenever possible. After successfully defeating Gloucester, you will receive a Golden Ram Shield.
