How to Recruit Gothild in Sovereign Tower

Community-reportedVersion not statedGothild entries in SoldierZoom and Samhain reviewed October 10, 2026; the routes have not been independently reproduced in-game.

Follow the Enberg investigation branch

Samhain supplies the starting choice missing from many short summaries:

1. When asked to identify the Enberg murderer, name the accountant.
2. Follow the delegation's later report that the murders have continued.
3. Continue the investigation until Victoria is identified, then tell Yohav.
4. Look for Gothild's recruitment offer and confirm the result in your roster.

If you want both characters, resolve this investigation before committing to Victoria's invitation route. Samhain reports both being recruitable but also warns that recruiting Victoria first can prevent Gothild's offer. The sources do not establish every intervening investigation choice.

What is currently reported

Source	Reported route	Timeline or decision point
Samhain	Start by accusing the accountant, then investigate Enberg, expose Victoria and tell Yohav	The investigation branch above
Samhain	On a replay, invite the investigator early through the Map Room for an ambush	Report requires very high stats; no threshold given
SoldierZoom	Kill Victoria through the assassination sponsor quest	NG+
SoldierZoom	Alternatively, defeat Victoria in a duel	Before the Yohav investigation ends

The accounts describe different choices and levels of detail. Do not combine the investigation, ambush, assassination and duel into a mandatory chain. For the reported conflict with recruiting Victoria, read the Victoria route notes.

Match a hostile route to the quest on screen

The task snapshot separates Victoria's ambush, Victoria duel, and Victoria's surprise attack. Compare the title and recorded requirements before dispatching. Similar names do not prove that these are interchangeable recruitment routes, and the snapshot does not reconstruct their unlock dialogue.

How to approach the route

1. Identify whether your current save is a first run or a replay, then choose the matching report above.
2. Keep a save before resolving the investigation or taking a hostile action if possible.
3. Check the available invitation, quest or duel text against that report. If the expected option is absent, the source does not supply enough information to invent a replacement choice.
4. After the scene, inspect the roster for Gothild and record the result. Completing a story event alone is not confirmation that recruitment succeeded.

Evidence limit

No official Gothild recruitment trigger is in the current source set. The reports above do not establish every prerequisite, dialogue response or current-build outcome. Missing options therefore remain unresolved rather than proof that your run is permanently blocked.
