FAST ANSWER / GOBERTO
Protect Goberto for the Great Duel, or let him die for Dulahan.
The supplied notes report Goberto as an early candidate in cycle 2. For the protection route, avoid the reported Fight the Dragon second-stage choice and test The Great Duel in Almor. For Dulahan, the notes report that Goberto's death opens a new knight after two cycles.
- Recruit Goberto and make a checkpoint before the Great Duel or any dangerous quest.
- For Perfect Armour, test Goberto in The Great Duel without the reported second-stage Fight the Dragon setup.
- For Dulahan, record Goberto's death state and check the table again after two cycles.
Recruit Goberto early
The supplied roster notes list Goberto as an early candidate in cycle 2 with a reported starting profile of 8 Strength, 1 Agility, 3 Charisma, 0 Magic, 0 Wit, and 0 Luck. His best use depends on the route you are building, so recruit him before deciding which branch to test.
- Record the cycle, open table state, and preceding quest
- Keep a checkpoint before a route-locking choice
- Do not confuse a candidate appearance with a guaranteed recruitment if the build differs
Goberto's Perfect Armour route
The supplied 1.0.8 notes report that Goberto can be strengthened through Almor's The Great Duel, provided the preceding Fight the Dragon choice was not used as the second-stage trial. The reported reward is Perfect Armour, with an armor cap rising from 7 to 17 and several stat increases.
- Reported increases: Strength +2, Agility +2, Charisma +5, Magic +4, Luck +4
- Perfect Armour reportedly protects other party members while Goberto absorbs his own damage and part of the team's damage
- Treat the exact numbers and damage-sharing behavior as version-sensitive until reproduced
The Bloody Magpie warning
The supplied notes explicitly warn against sending Goberto to The Bloody Magpie. The reported outcome is a full-party death with no reward. This is exactly the kind of special result that should be checked before dispatching an early knight based only on visible stats.
- Check for a named special-result warning before looking at the average score
- Do not use a normal-success test as proof that the special branch is harmless
- Log the build and preceding state if the result differs
Goberto to Dulahan
If Goberto dies, the supplied route notes report that Dulahan appears two cycles later. This creates a meaningful choice: Perfect Armour and Goberto's upgraded state belong to the protection route, while Dulahan belongs to the death route. Keep the two experiences in separate checkpoints or separate runs.
- Political Prisoner Fighting reportedly gives Dulahan a human body, Charisma +3, Wit +3, and armor cap +1
- New Vessel for Dulahan reportedly adds Strength, Agility, and Magic but reduces Charisma and Wit
- Verify each Dulahan upgrade independently instead of treating the first appearance as the final form
