Unicorn Overlord opens up after Rescuing Scarlett in Chapter 1. While the game recommends you go to Drakengard/Drakenhold or Elheim, they leave it up to you on where you should go first.
Should you go to Drakenhold or Elheim first? Let's discuss the pros and cons of each and my personal recommendation.

I went into both areas to see what level the stages were at. With Elheim being around level 15 and Drakenhold being around level 11, the devs are pointing to Drakenhold first. After recruiting the elf from entering Elheim, I went to Drakenhold.

@zackfair6791 4 ай бұрын

There is a lvl 13 trial in northern cornia you could probably use to grind up to lvl 15 to do elheim first. I would almost prefer to do SOME of elheim first because there are elven characters i want in my party.

I went to drakenhold and boy did that gameplay catch me off guard there’s a skill check (depending on difficulty and playstyle this might not matter to you) but the unit I lost was a sudden blow to my army strength. But it made me reconsider some of my lineups so it made me better. 10/10 quest line

I went to Drakkenhold first mainly because I heard it was easier, plus it’s hard to refuse more flying units. I finished the story there last night, now I’m just grinding for materials to access the reaper carving and get the regional special item. I did pop into Elwin briefly to check it out though.

@GaretStrife 4 ай бұрын

On my first run, I did it completely blind. I went Drakenhold, which felt the more natural route. Virginia may also have swayed me for story reasons, and I wasn't disappointed. And when I got Berengaria? Yeah, she wrecked things. I also went there on my second True Zenoiran run, and what swung it for me was earlier access to the Coliseum. The Elven characters can slot into many different party configurations, but the Coliseum rewards and prizes are too good.

I went to the dragon place, until i got to the coliseum, then i went to the elf place until i had to go to the tower, then at like lvl 20 i went to the beast area because i really wanted to try them (werefox and lion are some of my favorites, fox is stupid fast at night with a movement buff) then went back to dragon beat it then elf then back to beast, I get sidetracked easy

@RaidenKaiser 4 ай бұрын

Difficulty seems to feel like it pulls you back and forth between the 2. First half definitely drakenhold but once you hit the last few liberation sectors basically the second half after you unlock collesium starts to feel like they want you to take a break and go explore north cornia and early elheim. Fyi i said north Cornia not central cornia where the level 40 quest is available lol.

@armorbearer9702 4 ай бұрын

100% agree. Going through both routes simultaneously is the best strategy. When the enemy level is too high for one mission, take this as a sign to hop over to the other nation.

Yes totally in my playthrough i started with the dragon place and then I did the elf. The game is just too fun I think its the path the game kinda wants you to take, as the elf map skyrocket really hard in levels compared to the drake map My units composition is kinda busted now tho compared to the elf map its kinda insane. One comp I have a tons of fun with is a full cav with tons of knight running knight pursuit and knight call (the skill that boost knight dmg by 20%) to ramp up the damage boost to absurd degree Its not my strongest combat wise, but with a griffin speed boost you can speedrun map objective like crazy

Does the level scale up if I do one full route? Like if I do Elfheim first then I'll sweep everything in Drakenhold?

@yoshi3025 4 ай бұрын

No, if you elf first, dragon route is a breeze.

@zerosorigin8387 4 ай бұрын

No the levels for the enemies are fixed and won’t scale. Drakenhold is easier to start with cause it has a lower base level to fight against compared to Elheim. That being said I went to Elheim first not knowing it was the harder area but found and grinded off the Sigils there so when I finally beat Elheim and went to Drakenhold I bulldozed through it with little effort since it was a lower level area.

@avirei98 4 ай бұрын

Genuinely, I thought the elf area was the next area because when that mysterious voice recommends you go to the two areas. I am almost positive if they recommended I go to the elven area first but I could be wrong but that's why I went that way. I was already level 15 or 16 by the time I got there, but that's because I pretty much cleared everything in the first area outside of the past getting past the level 40 enemies. Ah, but hopefully I didn't make the wrong choice. I've been blitzing through the elephant area very easily. I have not struggled on any mission so I'm assuming my team comps are pretty good, but I just realized I kind of want to redo them. I want an entire unit representative of every area that I visit. I see that's going to be a little hard with the elves because they feel like they all do a little bit of everything so I might just have to build around one or two of them

You can get her at around level 23 if you lvl your renown to a put 2 thieves in front with 1 Druid and 2 aoe dmgdealers. Lil rng in first 2 hits if they are not dodged. After that the enemy will have no way to attack or defend. And you do not need to kill them in pvp only do more smog than them.

I'm halfway through Elfheim after clearing drakenhold first and kinda regret not dipping into both routes. Most of my units are close to hitting 20 and so far elfheim is far too easy. Wish i would have flip flopped between the two routes as there is a level scaling issue. Plus could have gotten the half elf archer and rosalinde faster

Are you limited ot these two or are these the ones the game suggest? Because the prologue makes it seem like Alin and his small band of friends was hiding out in the outskirts of that one westers country across the sea. If so it would suggest them already having some connection and therefore I would probably choose their next if I could

No you can go to the other areas up north if you want but be warned they are a lot harder and higher level than Drakenhold and Elheim which is why the game suggests you go East and South first.

You get rosalinde right as you start the elven side of things making getting her incredibly simple and quick. Also you unlock the quest to promote after the first battle on the elven side. Mind you this fight is pretty tough if you aren't leveled up, as i was rushing through only about 65% of the first area. Virginia is a couple of fights into drakenhold and is very good. The colosseum is about halfway through. Also you need renown rank B to promote which is pretty much all of cornia and about 65-70% completion of drakenhold.
