Unicorn Overlord offers players a total of 70 characters to recruit. The catch is that not everyone will join your team through a simple storyline. You will need to complete specific side missions or take certain routes to interact with them and convince them to join your side. This is the case when trying to recruit Prince Gilbert in Unicorn Overlord. Before you continue, here is a small spoiler warning regarding the names of certain characters and missions in the game.

I've tried to keep spoilers to a minimum, but here's what you need to do:

Pro tip – Make sure to make backup saves every time before you start a mission. This comes in handy in situations like the one above; for example, if you take the southern route to the battle instead of going east to meet Gilbert, you’ll miss him. So by reloading your save, you’ll avoid having to start over from scratch.
