Answer: Flap your wings.
Birds have many meals each day, yes? I hope you eat well and fly vigorously.
Answer: Flap your wings.
We must not isolate ourselves out of pride. That way is death. Do not forget this.

Recruit

Plan

On Cai's route, Nuzzuo's recruitment gate is support level 2 (2S), renown level 6 (6R) and 3x Iron Bow.

Part I, chapter 1
Give Nuzzuo a gift every in-game week and add shared meals, arena training, temple service, theatre, thermae or world-map feasts with him until his support level with the player reaches 2.† unverified
Part I, chapter 1
Prioritise every quest as it appears, especially Cai's route's Kindness Quests, and take divine audiences, skirmishes and paralogues as they open from the start of the route.† unverified
Part I, chapter 1
Buy 3 Iron Bows and hold them in the convoy for Nuzzuo's recruitment.† unverified

Research notes

Give Nuzzuo a gift every in-game week and add shared meals, arena training, temple service, theatre, thermae or world-map feasts with him until his support level with the player reaches 2. Why: Satisfies the gate's 2S component, which is Nuzzuo's own support level with the player.
Prioritise every quest as it appears, especially Cai's route's Kindness Quests, and take divine audiences, skirmishes and paralogues as they open from the start of the route. Why: Satisfies the gate's 6R component, since quests are the largest single renown source and Kindness Quests are Cai's route-specific renown quest type.
Buy 3 Iron Bows and hold them in the convoy for Nuzzuo's recruitment. Why: Satisfies the gate's 3x Iron Bow component. Presumed armoury/shop stock (Iron-tier equipment); exact shop, price, stock limit and first availability are NOT FOUND in the supplied item data

Missing plan details

no chapter/renown-level correspondence found for Cai's route, so the 6R timing is a chapter-1 baseline assumption
Iron Bow shop, price, stock limit and first available chapter NOT FOUND in the item data
no support-points-per-action or points-per-level figures, and no free-time days-per-chapter figure, so ~3 weekly support actions per level is a pacing assumption

Story and profile

Who they are

Nuzzuo is a proud Har Hali fighter who has taken charge of his tribe while its chieftain is missing. He respects tradition and honour, and he shares his tribe's reverence for great power. He talks with forest spirits and holds the demon god Balor in particular esteem.

He is a bow user who hits hard and fast: Speed growth is 55%, Strength and HP are 50%, and Dexterity is 45%. Har Hali Wisdom adds Atk+3 against foes he is effective against, so he is at his best when a target is weak to his weapon, and ordinary otherwise. Defence at 20% and Resistance at 15% leave him vulnerable, so do not let him stand in reach of the enemy. Bow proficiency suits Bow Knight. The guide rates him A and runs Hunter, Rogue, Forest Knight, Bow Knight. Bow, Brawling and Sword skills suit him.

He joins in Part 1 and can be recruited on all four routes.
