As you spend more time in Unicorn Overlord, you'll begin to recruit more and more team members from the overworld. Most of them will put up a fight, and you'll need to decide whether it is worth it or not to let them onboard the Liberation Army. One of these people is Mandrin.
Mandrin will first appear as an enemy attacking and pillaging the nearby church, though with seemingly good intentions. It is up to you whether you wish to execute him, or take him in. Here's what you can gain from choosing between the two options you are presented with.
Unicorn Overlord: Romance Guide
Romance and marriage are a large part of Unicorn Overlord. If you're looking to find a special someone for Alain, here's how to get started.
Where to Find Mandrin in Unicorn Overlord
Mandrin is an enemy soldier you'll meet early on in Unicorn Overlord. Specifically, you'll find him in The Winged Knight mission, where you'll be given the chance to recruit Sharon. You can find this mission in the southwestern section of Cornia, shown on the map image above.
The enemies in this mission will only be around Level 4, so this should be an easy one to finish. If you're struggling to level up quickly, our guide should help you catch up and defeat your future opponents with ease.
Should You Free or Execute Mandrin in Unicorn Overlord
At the end of the mission, a cutscene will occur between Alain, Ochlys, and Mandrin. You will be presented with the option to either execute or free Mandrin, who was caught pillaging the local church. However, it seems that he had done so to feed some of his people. Here's what you'll get from either choice.
|
Option |
Reward |
|
Free |
Recruit Sharon, 1x Bronze Bangle, 1x Holy Herb, Plaevian Orthodoxy |
|
Execute |
Recruit Sharon, 1x Bronze Bangle, 1x Holy Herb, Plaevian Orthodoxy, 15x Divine Shards |
The only difference here is that choosing to execute Mandrin will give you an additional 15 Divine Shards. However, we highly recommend freeing Mandrin, as you'll be able to recruit him later in the game. Also, you can easily find Divine Shards through other methods, so you won't be missing out on much.

In this guide, you'll find all the information you need on Stone Circles in Unicorn Overlord, and how you can get Star Irons from them.
How to Recruit Mandrin in Unicorn Overlord
If you choose to free Mandrin, you'll have the chance to recruit him later on during the A Shifting Tide mission. To find this mission, you'll need to reach the eastern section of Elheim, the area just below Cornia on the left. The map image above will show you the exact location. You'll need to have leveled up quite a bit before taking this mission, however, as the enemies will be around Level 17.
At the beginning of A Shifting Tide, you'll meet with Gammel, Celeste, and Mandrin. You'll fight alongside the three to defeat Cesar and his men. If you're successful, the three will join your team after Gammel and Mandrin choose to change their ways. You won't have to make any decisions on this mission, as they will all join your team automatically.
