Strategy

While in the base, the player will be quick to notice that they will not have access to any items stored in the convoy during Part I, nor could they use any of the bonus experience accumulated while playing asMicaiah and her allies. Indeed, there are three separate convoys and bonus experience storages throughoutRadiant Dawn: the Dawn Brigade/Daein army, the Crimean army (who the player is currently playing as), and later the Greil Mercenaries. Skills also cannot be managed at all throughout Part II.

Note that during this chapter, the player will encounter the first enemy unit armed with acrossbow-type weapon: an enemyWarrior wielding aBowgun. An interesting thing to note about crossbows is that they ignore the user's strength, but they have a highmight to compensate and allows 1-2 range combat, unlike regular bows. In practice, this meant that they would deal much less damage than regular bows in many situations; however, when it comes to dealingbonus damage, crossbows become lethally dangerous, due to their high might being tripled (the Bowgun has 24 might, but when it deals bonus damage, it can deal up to72 damage). This makes it easy for them to potentially one-shot and kill flying units. As such, be sure that your flying units steer clear of them in upcoming chapters.

Don't let yourself move on from this chapter without the very valuableDiscipline scroll in the very southeasternmost square. Heather can get this easily on good biorhythm.

Trivia

• On Normal and Hard modes, this chapter features the game's only generic enemyRogue.
