All this peace and quiet is making me sleepy. How about you do something to wake me up?
Answer: Do a somersault.
Are you living your life to the fullest? If not, why bother being alive at all!
Answer: Spread your wings.
Ha! A lady socked me real hard a little earlier. That just means she was shy, yeah?

I'm one of the most seasoned mercenaries here! Do I have the look of a battle survivor?

My advice—make certain you're the one to make the calls in battle. Otherwise, it's a sure way to die.

Recruit
Plan
On Dietrich's route, recruiting Guzran requires reaching support level 3 with him and renown level 8.
Part I, chapter 1
Give Guzran a gift, share a meal with him, or pair with him in an arena, theatre or thermae activity once per in-game week from the first free-time window of Part I until support level 3 is reached.† unverified
Part I, chapter 1
Prioritise every available quest each week, above all Dietrich's route-specific Challenge Letters, and add divine audiences, skirmishes (using Answerer's Cry to spawn hidden enemies) and paralogues, from the start of Part I.† unverified
Research notes
- Give Guzran a gift, share a meal with him, or pair with him in an arena, theatre or thermae activity once per in-game week from the first free-time window of Part I until support level 3 is reached. Why: Satisfies the 3S support component of Guzran's Dietrich's-route gate. Support activities per the Support reference section: weekly gifts, shared meals at inns, arena training, paired temple service, world-map feasts, theatre, thermae and combat adjacency
- Prioritise every available quest each week, above all Dietrich's route-specific Challenge Letters, and add divine audiences, skirmishes (using Answerer's Cry to spawn hidden enemies) and paralogues, from the start of Part I. Why: Satisfies the 8R renown component of Guzran's Dietrich's-route gate.
Missing plan details
- no chapter/renown-level correspondence found for Dietrich's route, so no chapter can be given at which 8R is reached
- no support-points-per-action or points-per-support-rank figures found, so the one-action-per-week pacing is an assumption, not a sourced rate

Story and profile
Who they are
Guzran is a mercenary living in Dagsion who goes by The Unkillable. He is hearty, carefree and fond of boasting, and the people around him tend to ignore the stories, but he has come through a lot of hard scrapes and can fight. He likes drink, women, interesting people and young recruits.
He starts as a Gladiator and is one of the author's three S picks. Speed grows at 50%, with HP, Strength, Dexterity and Luck all at 45%. Hot-Headed adds 10 to Hit, Avoid or Crit during combat, but the game picks which at random, so do not plan around any one of them. Magic and Resistance at 20% mean spellcasters are his main risk. He prefers Brawling, Infantry and Sword skills, and the guide's path is Gladiator, Myrmidon, Shido, Sword Master.
He joins in Part 1 and is recruited automatically on Cai's route.
