Your final story mission for Drakenhold inUnicorn Overlordsees the player head North to reclaim the kingdom’s capital, Soldraga, from the Zenoiran army. To restore the kingdom and a couple of sibling relationships, you’ll have to fight your way through a lot of enemies while under constant assault by artillery.
Fortunately, the game is willing to lend you a hand and essentially gives you three different points you can use to deploy units right away, so the first half of the map can be taken relatively easily. It’s the latter half and the fight against some very powerful foes, where you will really have to watch your step.

Gilbert, Berengaria
There are several things about this battle that you need to considerbefore it even starts.
First, you can unlock it once you’ve reached Schaetze town, but youshould not do it immediately.Go east from Schaetze town and then up and around until you approach Gilbert from the other side.
Once you do that, a cutscene will play, and you can start the fight withtwo Magick Bombsfor use in chokepoints.
From there, you have a long fight where youcan’t afford to keep still,or else you’ll take a lot of damage from enemy catapults. You’ll want your units spread out a bit anduse the Light Feather and Light Tailfeatheritems to get out of the targeted range quickly

Battle Strategy For Heir To The Dragonlands
To begin, you’ll havetwo command postsyou can deploy from, yours and the fort up north where Gilbert is.
Leave anarcher on the northernone and haveGilbert and his party head southto claim the bridge.
From the south,deploy a unitto take the bridge to theleft towards Schwieger townand leave someone toguard the Command Post.
If either post falls, you will get a game over, so watch both.
Once you’ve reached the bridge leading towards town,Hermann will become controllable, so have himtake out the Arbalistat the command post and garrison there.
Use items such asbarricades and Magick Bombsto keep him from being overrun as you make your way to him.
Deploy aflying unit from the northern Command Postto take the watchtower to the west and then leave them at the nearby campsite. That will set you up for when the rest of your units arrive.
Once Schwieger Town is clear,deploy new units from thereand head north. Once you hit the archway, the catapult will start firing on you.
Takethat first catapult quicklyand use it to destroy the barricades across the river while having a warrior take out the nearby ones.
Once one of your units has crossed the bridge, a brief cutscene will play, Berengaria will become the boss of the map, and several reinforcements will arrive at all the capture points.
Wyvern Knights will continually spawnfrom the enemy command post and target yours, so keep an eye on them.
At the first Soldraga Outskirts, there will be aDark Knight at the capture point and two Archers.The flying unit you sent by earlier can come down to help with that, so long as youget rid of the archers first.
Next, head up the path to the second Soldraga Outskirts, which is manned by aWyvern Knight flanked by two Axebearers. Position a wizard on that Watchtower you took earlier for the Magick Assist.
If you use the nearby campsite, use it quickly and then immediately have your units move, or else they will be targeted by the catapult.
Finally, at the last stop before Berengaria, there will bea sorcerer garrisoned along with two Hammerbearers. Once you’ve beaten them, take the catapult.
Berengaria hashigh physickal and magickal defense, somake sure your units havehealed up at the garrison or use a Camping Kitbefore taking her on, and have assists ready tohelp take her out quickly.
Once she’s defeated, the fight will be over.
