Strategy

The battle begins in the dark with a couple of armored units blocking the way. Units likeBrighton,Fergus, or evenDalsin and Leif can help out, although be sure to let them in range of their supports and give Fergus the Armorslayer if he has the B-rank in sword and the Rapier to Leif so that he isn't weighed down. Watch out for the mages, though. If one of them has a B-rank in swords, the Flame Sword is useful, as magic also counts as resistance and they will take much less damage from the magic hits. Lifis's ability to steal from mages will be very useful as it allows him to neutralize them without taking damage. Karin is also good against them, but the Armor Knights will probably kill her.

SendingLifis andLara to free the children is recommended, as later villages only give items if their children were rescued, and Murphy must have escaped if the player wishes to recruitHicks. The chapter itself has some valuable items to acquire. IfKarin speaks withCed regarding the state of affairs inSilesse, he will give her aCed Scroll, which gives a massive +30% boost to a unit's speed growth. The only obtainableBrave Sword in the entire game can be found in one of the chests. Other than that, remember Fergus's advice and send Leif out last.

Trivia
