Sovereign Tower Unexpected Outcomes Explained
Understand the official third quest-result type, why risky Knight choices can reveal it and which trigger claims remain unverified.
Direct answer
Unexpected Outcome is an official quest result alongside Critical Failure and Critical Success. Official material names the result but does not publish its trigger formula; professional coverage suggests it can reward a risky, intuitive assignment rather than the apparently safest Knight.
What the result tells you
It confirms that assignment resolution is not a simple highest-stat check. Quest wording, Knight traits, preferences and possibly route knowledge can create a result outside normal success or failure. Record the Knight, visible requirements and debrief text when it appears.
Experiment without inventing a formula
Test unusual matches on secondary or lower-risk requests, read the full debrief and use rewind only if the consequences justify it. Fan sources connect hidden traits to these outcomes, but that causal rule is not officially confirmed and exact numerical recipes should not be trusted.
Pending confirmation
No verified trigger list, probability or hidden success formula is available. Treat every exact recipe as unconfirmed.
