** A fairly safe but unreliable strategy to incapacitate Canis on turn 1 is with a [[Blizzard]] tome, which will put her to sleep if she is hit by it—even if she takes 0 damage. Only [[Asbel]] or [[Ced]] can reasonably attain the weapon rank to use Blizzard, and Canis has a bonus from the seal terrain increasing her avoid.

** A strong unit, particularly one with a brave or high accuracy-weapon or [[Nihil]], could be [[warp (staff)|warp]]ed into Canis's room or run in after the door is opened and Dark Mage is killed and defeat her on turn one. This unit will then have to survive against the Master Lance armors in Canis's room.

** Yet another option is to use [[Sleep (staff)|Sleep]] or [[Silence (staff)|Silence]] on Canis on turn 1. This is only achievable with [[Magic Up]] or [[Pure Water]] and either a 19+ magic unit equipped with the [[Flame Sword]] or 12+ magic unit standing on a seal, or a 16+ magic unit with the Flame Sword that is standing on a seal. The Flame Sword strategies are only achievable by [[Nanna]] and [[Amalda]], as they are the only staff users to also use swords, however, Nanna will need a lot of staff experience to get to C-rank staves, and both will will need help from the Crusader Scrolls to reach the magic thresholds. The seal strategies require standing in the Deadlord's rooms, which comes with the risk of getting those units killed by the units in the rooms, while the Magic Up staff requires another staff user to be near the primary staffer and Pure Water means the staffer will need to be danced for or wait a turn.

* Tigris has a Master Axe and while he lacks skills, he hits hard with his [[Master Axe]] and has 4 action and 4 FCM, while the Armors with him have Master Bows. Attempting to defeat each enemy on enemy phase can be dangerous to the player unit, even with Wrath or [[Vantage]]. However, their magic stats are low, even with terrain boosts, meaning it's fairly easy to incapacitate them all with [[sleep (staff)|Sleep]]. If the player opens the door, make sure that the stairs out of the altar are blocked with a sufficiently strong unit: Tigris has 10 movement and 4 action stars, giving him a very real chance to simply run past strong units to attack weaker units behind them.

* The enemies in Mus's room have fairly low accuracy with Master Axes and can fairly safely be defeated on enemy phase. Mus has Wrath, making it dangerous to attack him on player phase. A unit with the [[Bragi Sword]] can deal significant damage to or outright defeat Mus on enemy phase—only certain units can use the Bragi Sword, but Leif, who can use it, will always start in front of Mus. If the Bragi Sword was never obtained, then defeating Mus may not be viable short of [[Mareeta]] or [[Galzus]] brute-forcing him down with [[Astra]] + [[Luna]]; it may become necessary to bait him off of the seal and distract him by tanking his hits so that a unit can get onto his seal. He can also be put to sleep with the Sleep Sword (preferably on enemy phase due to Wrath) or Blizzard.
