Recruiting Unique Characters

Among the unique characters, some will not join if their recruitment conditions are not met through conversation choices, etc. Generally, choosing options that forgive or encourage them to join, such as "Spare" or "Recruit," will make them allies.
Gilbert Will Eventually Join

Even if you fail to meet the conditions in Drakenhold and Gilbert does not join, he will eventually join during the main quest "Unicorn Overlord".
Choose the Neutral Route In 'The Resisters and the Compliant'

In the Bastorias subquest "The Resisters and the Compliant," a neutral route will occur if you go near the hut at the midpoint after talking to both Bertrand and Govil. By choosing this neutral route and starting the quest, you can recruit both Bertrand and Govil。

Kleinfeld Checkpoint Liberation Battle

The Drakenhold liberation quest "Kleinfeld Checkpoint Liberation Battle" cannot be attempted again if you clear the main quest 'Heir to the Dragonlands' first. There is no major hindrance to gameplay, but you will not be able to complete all quests.
Number of Hirable Units at Forts

Each fort has a set number of hirable units, and dismissing a hired character will not increase the number of hirable units. Be careful, as dismissing them may mean you can never hire them again.
Item Stock in Shops

Items available for purchase at armories and item shops have a stock count, and selling items will not increase the stock count. Be careful, as selling them may mean you can never obtain them again.
Decisions Difficult to Reverse
Exchanging Divine Shards

Divine Shards can be obtained from mining sites in addition to those found on the field, but collecting Divine Shards at mining sites is very time-consuming. If you make a mistake when exchanging Divine Shards, it will be difficult to reverse, so carefully select the items you exchange for.
