There are 24 recruitable Sovereign Tower knights, and your Round Table only ever holds ten of them. Every knight has a home region and a specific way to be recruited. Some of them are even mutually exclusive, and they all have different stats. Below you’ll find exactly how to get each knight and who is actually worth a seat for what stats.

All Sovereign Tower Knights Stats
Every stat scores 0–15. Order is Strength, Agility, Charisma, Magic, Wits, Luck. Totals exclude equipment and relics, so a few of these numbers go up once you choose your gear.

| Zolta | Gambler | 4 | 5 | 2 | 9 | 2 | 11 | 7 | 6 | 33 |
Victoria is absurd. Her locked sword adds +5 Strength, +4 Agility, +2 Charisma, and +1 Magic. Although it also costs her 3 Luck. Chester is the opposite kind of broken. His Jester attribute means his stats are random and reroll every single time. Pick him if you like gambling. He also accepts all six meals and enjoys every quest type, so he is impossible to upset.
Daguez has 15 Strength and 9 Luck, but a flat 0 in the rest of his stats. Goberto is the worst knight on paper at 12 total, until his Almor armour transformation takes him from 7 to 17 max armour and gives him Perfect Armour, which pulls damage off everyone else in his party.
How to Recruit Every Knight
Here’s how to recruit every Sovereign Tower knight, separated by the Act they appear in:
Act 1 Knights
| Knight | How to get them |
|---|---|
| Angelica | Joins during the opening story. She is your first knight. |
| Goberto | Candidacy audience in Cycle 2. Your first real recruit. |
| Gwendan | Candidacy audience in Cycle 3. |
| Ursula | Candidacy audience in Cycle 5, no prerequisite. Her Immortal attribute means she can be recruited again even after dying on a quest. |
| Dulahan | Let Goberto die. Dulahan arrives 2 cycles later, wearing his armour. |
| Chester | Finish the Cleankeeper goose contract in Milkford. In Part 2, the outcome depends on how Chester describes the eggs: Shiny → send Gwendan, Delicious Aroma → send any knight with a mount, Smells Bad → send any knight carrying cheese. When Chester arrives to thank you, do not pick “You’re Welcome”. Let the scene play out on its own, or the recruitment breaks. |
| The Wolf | Send Angelica specifically on Fight the Werewolf in Almor. Sending anyone else gets the standard kill; only Angelica’s assignment triggers the tamed outcome. |
| Silgur | The same beast questline as The Wolf. Pick the kill option and send anyone except Angelica. |
| Brunhilda | Side with Gavault, investigate the taverns, and refuse to arrest her mother. This is the daughter’s side of the Gavault chain. |
| Tarcus | Send knights on Noble investigations in Gavault, then confirm you will stop Brunhilda. This is the mother’s side of the same chain. |
| Arron | Beat the Dragon Knight, the first real boss fight. He joins the moment that fight closes Act 1. |
Act 2 Knights
| Knight | How to get them |
|---|---|
| Gideon* | Candidacy audience around Cycle 13. Map Room fallback costs 25 gold. |
| Alwena | Act 2 or later only. Have every knight unavailable with a free seat open, then visit the Round Table. It’s a one-time offer. There’s no second chance if you miss it. |
| Ligia | Southbay storyline. Her father must survive the arc, or Southbay falls, and she becomes Countess instead of joining. Win the lamp quest within its 3-cycle deadline; expect to rewind once. |
| Childeric | Win the Almor jousting tournament. Do not send Goberto. |
| Zolta | Kutnar storyline. You don’t need Tarcus specifically. Cheat through the derby with either Tarcus or The Wolf, then pay a 250 gold recruitment fee when she visits. |
| Oliver | Spare your attacker in the opening instead of executing him. His candidacy audience arrives around Cycle 19. It’s late, not broken. |
| Daguez* | Let the People fall to your lowest faction to trigger the civil-war event, then knight one of the revolt’s leaders. |
Act 3 Knights
| Knight | How to get them |
|---|---|
| Epicrate | Win his trial or break him out. If breaking him out, do not send Tarcus. |
| Edith | Ask Countess Medea about a local knight who knows dragons and spells. You can also summon her from the Map Room for 25 gold as “The mystical knight.” |
| Victoria | Ask if a knight of her caliber would join, then clear her trials. |
| Gothild | Send a high-Wits knight on Suspect Interrogations until Victoria is implicated. Alternatively, she joins as a follow-up to a successful Victoria ambush. |
| Ari | During the Basalt Isles succession audience, speak with the merchant guilds. Costs 25 gold. You can also summon him from the Map Room as “the younger brother of the Basalt brothers.” |
| Rufus | A genuine recruit with two routes. Complete the Mystical Research quest in Groveshire with enough Scholars’ satisfaction, or recruit The Wolf first and reach his second free-time conversation, which unlocks Rufus’s candidacy. |
Pro-Tip: Alwena is the fiddly one. She is an emergency offer, and only from Act 2 onward: open the Round Table with zero available knights and an empty seat, and she volunteers. Send everyone out on 2-cycle quests to force it. There is no second chance if you miss it. Once recruited, she can never die or resign, but her Intendant attribute means she can’t be sent on anything longer than one cycle.
Why You Can’t Get Every Knight in One Run
Your Round Table is home to 6 knights in Act 1, 8 in Act 2, and 10 in Act 3. And that’s it. 10 seats for 24 knights. You also cannot dismiss a knight once you have invited them. So I’m sorry, but you are stuck with that bad early recruit you made.
Adding insult to injury is that Act 1 forks. Siding with Arnold sends you down the Groveshire questline; siding with Damian sends you to Gavault, and you cannot do both. Groveshire gates Silgur and The Wolf, and one of Rufus’s two routes runs through The Wolf. Gavault gates Brunhilda and Tarcus.
But those two are also exclusive with each other, since Brunhilda comes from the daughter’s side of that chain and Tarcus from the mother’s. So going to Gavault still only gets you one of them. Pick a side, and at least two knights vanish from that save.
The obvious fix is rewinding time, and it does work. But rewinding erases the good branches along with the bad ones. You can lose magical artefacts and entire knights you already met, which is a price too high for chasing one recruit.
There is a third option: uncover Gideon’s past, finish the game, then rerun. That opens both questlines.
There is also a fourth option people forget: New Game Plus. The roster is designed to be collected across runs rather than in one. So treat each save as a slice of the 24 rather than a failed attempt at all of them.
Best Knights to Send on Quests
Sending a knight who is too weak for a quest has a penalty, and on the other hand, an over-leveled knight offers bonus rewards. Some quests also hide a special outcome behind a stat threshold. Reach that number, and you get a different result entirely.
Note: Roughly, each point above the requirement is worth about 0.66 to the score, split across the party. Cross +5, and you get a great success at 1.5× rewards; cross +10, and it’s a critical success at 2×.
Keep in mind that these thresholds are from my own runs. Quest requirements are visible on the quest card before you commit a knight, so you can always double-check in your own game before assigning any knight. Anyway, here are the requirements for all quests:
| Quest | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Repel the dragon | Magic 14+ |
| Suspects interrogations | Wits 12+ |
| In search of the gem | Luck 11+ |
| The lich will not return | Magic 10+ |
| A Thesis Thief | Magic 10+ |
| The Vampire of Clovermont | Charisma 10+ |
| Animal bodyguards | Strength 10+ |
| Diplomatic Meeting | Wits 8+ |
| Slugs invasion | Wits 8+ |
| Hydra Hunt | Magic 7+ |
| The Possessed Reverend | Magic 7+ |
| The False Bank | Wits 3 or LOWER |
That last one is my favourite thing in the game. The False Bank fires when your knight is dumb enough, so send Goberto (0 Wits), Dulahan (0), Daguez (0), or Gwendan (3). Sending your smartest knight is the mistake.
One catch: an unexpected outcome is not automatically a good one. Angelica loves animals. So a quest about killing critters might make her the worst pick or the perfect one, depending on whether you want the animals dead.

FAQ
Why can’t I recruit Oliver?
Two things have to be true: You must have spared your attacker in the opening rather than executing him, and you have to wait (his candidacy audience doesn’t appear until around Cycle 19).
Can knights leave permanently?
Yes. Affinity runs −10 to +10, and at −7 a knight resigns for good. Feeding a knight their favourite meal gives +1.5 affinity, which is usually enough to stop the slide. Alwena and Ari never resign.
Do knights change permanently?
Several do. Goberto’s Almor armour, Arron’s dragon branches, and Ursula’s corruption all rewrite statlines for the rest of the run.
What are the favourite meals in Sovereign Tower?
There are only six dishes in the game: Galette-Saucisse, Croque-Monsieur, Préfou, Crêpe, Brizhian Butter Shortbread, and Lion’s Taco. Chester and Dulahan are the only knights who accept all six.
