Strategy


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


This chapter holds some very useful items, along with conversations between characters. If the player wishes to rush the chapter, it is more difficult to obtain these items and conversations.

To counter the units at the front, use Franz and Gilliam to kill the armored knights and mercenaries. Use Ross, Lute, and Artur to take out the soldiers and shamans (through the wall). Have Eirika gradually move to the left side of Renvall (if you want to unlock her conversation with Ephraim- if not, have Franz or Gilliam continue to the left). From there, Ephraim, Forde, and Kyle will appear. Have them move north, with the two parties converging at the treasure room (use Seth, Gilliam, Artur, Ross, and Lute to take out the armored knights and any other enemies along the way). Use Colm to get two useful items: a Silver Sword and an Elysian Whip (used to promote Vanessa or Tana later in the game- Cormag comes with his own).

The boss has mediocre stats, and Ephraim can ORKO (or OHKO with a critical hit) him. Alternatively, you can use a combination of units (Sacred Stones does not penalize for EXP distribution).
