Beginning log

Eirika chooses to travel by sea to the theocracy of Rausten. Her search for a ship leads her to Port Kiris in Carcino. Carcino is a young nation ruled by a council of merchants, and it is an ally of Frelia. Carcino council leader Klimt, a staunch opponent of Grado's imperialistic actions, has pledged Carcino's support to Frelia in this conflict. Prince Innes also intends to pass through Carcino on his way to Jehanna. Eirika believes there is nothing to fear in Carcino, but she is wrong.

Note: Move Franz to the lower left-hand side of the map quickly in order to get Amelia. For this chapter, you will want to have trained a strong sword or axe user (a lance user is only useful if he switches to his bow) in order to defeat Binks.

First, push your units (mounted units are very useful in this chapter) through the enemies. Seth, Forde, Franz, and Kyle should all push through, with Gilliam, Joshua, or Ross close behind. Have Tana and/or Vanessa serve as backup units (if Vanessa is promoted, use her alongside Seth). Proceed to Amelia WITH CAUTION (she WILL attack anyone who comes too close-- this is bad for her because she is weak at the beginning). Let Franz handle her (or Eirika- Franz is easier to push with however). Afterward, head over to Binks and kill him with a well-trained unit. You'll want to kill him in one or two turns because: a. Magic units can be killed very easily by his bow. b. He has a Killer Axe, which can (and likely will) kill most units. Avoid using a lance-locked character unless he is switched to his bow. Note that Amelia can do nothing to him.

Trivia

• Rennac makes a cameo appearance when visiting the eastern village.
