Sovereign Tower Knight Recruitment Guide

Recruitment coverage status

This overview covers every Knight named in the route reports below. Official-confirmed means a patch note directly names at least part of the recruitment condition. Community-reported means the condition comes from the cited community guide and can vary with route state. These reports still need independent confirmation or reproducible current-build footage. Pending means the current sources don't provide a stable condition, so this page doesn't guess.

Focused recruitment guides

Use these pages when you need one decision instead of the full roster checklist:

• Recruit Chester through his two-quest sequence
• Choose Wolf, Rufus, or Silgur in Groveshire
• Choose Brunhilda or Tarcus in the Gavault branch
• Understand the route cost for recruiting Dulahan
• Create the empty Round Table state for Alwena
• Follow the reported tournament condition for Childeric
• Compare the reported Kutnar race routes for Zolta
• Use the reported Dragon Knight condition for Arron
• Save Ligia's father in the reported Act II branch
• Choose the reported trial or prison route for Epicrate
• Identify Edith's reported Moonvale emissary choice
• Track the reported Victoria branch for Gothild
• Understand the current evidence for Victoria's quest chain

These are focused versions of the same attributed community reports. They don't upgrade a community route into an official or guaranteed trigger.

Start with these automatic arrivals

Community-reportedFull releaseArrival timing from the cited SoldierZoom route guide; not an official guarantee.

Knight	Community-reported timing	Action
Angelica	Starting Knight	No recruitment puzzle reported
Goberto	Day 2	Continue the opening route
Gwendan	Day 3	Continue the opening route
Ursula	Day 5	Continue the opening route
Gideon	Act II	No special requirement reported by the guide

The timings are a community report from one full-release guide. A rewind or different route state can change the surrounding scene even when the Knight remains available.

Act I recruitment routes

Community-reportedFull releaseAct I branches from the cited SoldierZoom route guide; official profiles confirm identities only.

Chester

The community guide reports a linked two-quest sequence:

1. Accept Chester's first quest and send Angelica.
2. Accept the follow-up quest.
3. Match the clue shown by the quest: a shiny clue points to Gwendan, an aroma points to a mounted Knight, and a bad smell points to the cheese option.
4. Avoid the dismissive "You're Welcome" response when resolving the sequence.

This is one of the more detailed reports in the source, but dialogue state can still matter. If the quest wording differs, follow the clue on your screen rather than forcing the table.

Groveshire branch: Wolf, Rufus, or Silgur

The same incident is reported to lead to different recruits:

Reported choice	Reported recruit
Kill the beast with Angelica involved	Wolf
Break the curse	Rufus
Kill the beast without Angelica	Silgur

Treat these as mutually exclusive route targets until a later rewind gives you another attempt. The official profile pages confirm Wolf, Rufus, and Silgur as characters; they do not publish this trigger table.

Gavault branch: Brunhilda or Tarcus

Target	Community-reported path
Brunhilda	Investigate the People/tavern side and follow the branch involving her mother; the guide also reports an alternate invitation in a later timeline
Tarcus	Follow the Noble-focused investigation branch

This branch has more state-dependent wording than the automatic arrivals. Save before choosing an investigation direction.

Dulahan

The guide reports that Dulahan can appear after Goberto dies, in any act. That's a major route cost, not a recommendation. Decide whether the recruit is worth the story consequence before using this path.

Act II recruitment routes

Community-reportedFull releaseAct II requirements from the cited SoldierZoom route guide; route state may change scenes.

Knight	Community-reported requirement	Reliability note
Arron	Defeat the Dragon Knight	Clear report; exact combat setup is not supplied
Alwena	After she arrives as intendant, enter the empty Round Table with no Knights available and a free seat	Compare dispatch return times; no mandatory afternoon is established
Ligia	Save her father	Clear story choice, but earlier route state may affect the scene
Childeric	Win the Almor tournament without sending Goberto	See the focused guide for the reported contestant-loss consequence
Zolta	Kutnar: cheat with Tarcus, or win using Wolf or a lion	Updated community report; Tarcus requirement is uncertain; reported fee is 250 Gold

Community-reportedVersion not statedChilderic and Zolta community reports reviewed September 30, 2026; not independently tested in-game. See the Childeric and Zolta guides for route requirements and costs.

Community-reportedVersion not statedAlwena reports in SoldierZoom and Samhain reviewed October 10, 2026; not independently tested in-game. See the Alwena guide for availability and dispatch checks.

Version 1.0.8 fixes a Ligia questline bug that could lock the player into the same item-search choice. Update the game before retrying her route if the decision doesn't change after a rewind. The same patch also fixes Gwendan being unable to die; it doesn't change the community-reported Day 3 arrival listed above.

Version 1.0.9: retry affected routes on the current build

The official 1.0.9 notes fix Victoria's trial responses being matched to the wrong quest, problems assigning Alwena to quests, and a route that could skip an Act's antagonist confrontation. These are game fixes, not official confirmation of any recruitment trigger above. Update before retrying a Victoria-related route, an Alwena dispatch, or an affected late-act sequence, since these fixes don't turn the community recruitment conditions on this page into official rules.

Those notes said the assassination on Yorhav wasn't fixed in 1.0.9. Version 1.0.10 later fixed Victoria being able to ambush herself and Yorhav not dying properly after the assassination. The newer patch also fixes NG+ cases where Knights could disappear after being told to return later or after dismissal, lets Oliver be recruited after choosing mercy at the start, and corrects Gideon's NG+ storyline inconsistencies and a related soft lock.

Act III recruitment routes

Community-reportedFull releaseAct III requirements from the cited SoldierZoom route guide. Conditions absent from the source remain unknown.

Daguez: check your version before lowering satisfaction

Official 1.2.0 route: the October 15 notes add an audience at People satisfaction of at least 50, offering the option to knight someone and recruit Daguez. The notes do not give an exact day or all scheduling conditions. Check this positive-satisfaction route before deliberately provoking a rebellion.

Read the official 1.2.0 announcement.

Older community route: the reports below predate 1.2.0; they are not prerequisites for the new audience.

Two community reports agree on the central route: allow one population group's satisfaction to fall well below the others, then choose the audience option that knights one of the rebels at the Round Table. A detailed August 21 report says the event appeared at the start of Act III when one group was below 20 and the other groups were above 20. An earlier thread describes the rebellion more generally and contains players who could not reproduce it in Act II.

Treat the numerical pattern as a reported setup, not a guaranteed universal threshold. Keep an empty Round Table seat for the following cycle; the detailed report warns that Daguez does not offer a later invitation after a refusal.

Community sources: satisfaction event report and recruitment discussion, rechecked September 18, 2026.

Knight	Community-reported requirement	What to watch
Epicrate	Win the trial or break out of prison	Two routes are reported; dialogue can differ by prior choices
Edith	Second option when the Moonvale emissary first arrives	The source does not quote the option; identify the audience before choosing
Gothild	Follow the Victoria-related branch; the guide reports an alternate later-timeline path	Strong spoilers and timeline dependence
Victoria	Complete her quest chain	"Complete" doesn't identify every required dialogue choice
Daguez	Older rebellion route; see the official 1.2.0 option above	Do not lower satisfaction merely to reproduce an older guide; the older timing reports vary

Community-reportedVersion not statedEdith's first-audience choice in SoldierZoom's guide reviewed September 19, 2026; not independently tested in-game. See the Edith guide for rewind notes and missing-recruit checks.

Ari: separate the reported invitation from the new dialogue

SoldierZoom's guide now reports choosing the bottom option when the brothers first arrive, then inviting Ari through the Map. It does not quote the option or establish every earlier condition. The official 1.2.0 notes separately add an Omniscient recruitment dialogue for Ari and Edith; they do not make a numbered response universal across timelines.

Community report and official addition1.2.0 contextAri entry and official announcement checked October 20, 2026; not independently playtested.

Compare the actual speaker, offered choice and Map interaction before declaring the attempt complete. A missing option remains unresolved, not a reason to invent an affinity threshold. The Edith guide explains the same distinction between an older option number and an added dialogue.

Oliver is omitted from the community route table because version 1.0.10 confirms only the opening mercy choice, not every later step that may affect his arrival.

Before committing to a recruit

Use this five-point check:

1. Confirm the act and scene. A correct choice in the wrong branch won't reproduce the route.
2. Check which Knight must be present or absent. Chester, Groveshire, Alwena, and tournament reports all depend on party state.
3. Save before the branch. Recruitment choices can exclude another Knight or require a death.
4. Read the current dialogue. Translation or patch wording can differ from the community guide.
5. Record the result after a rewind. Learned knowledge may unlock a new response, so a later cycle isn't always identical.

What the achievement list can and cannot confirm

Steam's official achievement list includes A Knight's Game for recruiting all available Knights at least once and names several characters in other achievements. This confirms that broad roster collection is intended, but it doesn't reveal the recruitment triggers above; those remain community route reports.

For identity and role summaries, use the illustrated character roster. For route planning across cycles, use the Demon Power guide.
