Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

New Units:

  • Decide between two mediocre pre-promotes,Samson for better stats in the right village orArran with better equipment in the left village.
  • Xane, a special unit that can transform into others for five turns.

Primary Objectives:

  • Defeat theDracoknights.
  • Quickly protect villages from aThief on Turn 5 using your cavalry.
  • Secure northwest forts to block potential enemy reinforcements.

Considerations:

  • Keep the villages safe before proceeding.
  • Handle the initial enemy cavalry wave and use the save point.
  • Be prepared for small groups of distant cavalry reinforcements, which pose a minor threat.
  • Once villages are secure and enemies are under control, confrontHollstadt directly.
  • Don't forget to visit shops for supplies and rescue Xane from captivity.
