Beginning log
After defeating Martel and finding their way out of the forest, The Etrurian Army faced the blizzards common of Ilia's winters. Ilia's harsh climate was a natural defense in itself against invaders. Sigune, flightleader of the Pegasus Knights that had turned to Bern, was preparing to attack Roy, coupled with Ilia's greatest natural weapon.

Strategy
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.
|
This chapter is challenging due to the fog of war. Stay vigilant.
Key Considerations:
- Identify the positions of the Ballistae on the map above and ensure your flying units maintain a safe distance.
- Familiarize yourself with the enemies present (refer to the information above). This will help you choose which characters and items to bring.
Recommended Units:
- Deploy Snipers, axe units, and Nomads. These units excel at engaging enemies from a distance.
- Bring at least one Thief equipped with a Torch. Make sure they are always guarded, especially if they are low level.
- Bring units with high defense and always position them at the forefront of your group.
Preparations for Future Battles:
- Purchase 3–4 Physic staves to have reserves for upcoming chapters. Additionally, get 1–2 Restore staves if you are running low.
- Stock up on Chest Keys and Door Keys.
Enemy Insights:
- The closest Druid wields a Sleep staff, while another possesses a Silence staff. Neither will be able to counterattack. Expect similar staff-wielding enemies in future chapters.
- Most non-promoted enemies carry Steel weapons and a few Javelins. However, one of the Knights near the boss has an Axereaver. Promoted enemies are armed with Silver Lances.
- Tackle the boss using one of your best bow-wielding characters. Always have a healer positioned behind for support.
Strategy Recommendations:
- Prioritize taking out the Druids and keep Restore staves at hand.
- Approach cautiously. Avoid moving within the attack range of enemy groups if your units are not prepared for the onslaught.
- At the chapter's start, the nearest group of Pegasi will target you. Tackle them first and then advance.
- Avoid placing Niime on the frontline. Despite being promoted, her stats, especially HP, are notably low. Retain the uses of her Eclipse tome and use her primarily as a healer.
