Plot

Main article: The Dragonkin Realm/Script

Marth and his companions finally reach and besiege Dolhr. As they storm the gates of Dolhr Keep, Medeus accepts their challenge. If the Falchion was lost and Tiki was slain in battle, Gotoh telepathically contacts Marth and informs him that he lacks the strength to defeat Medeus. He sends Marth to an unseen dimension to gather strength in the hopes of tipping the scales in his favor.

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

Welcome to Manaketeville, Archanea, population 110. The first thing to note is that the enemy Manaketes in this chapter break the playable Manakete stat caps for Skill and Speed; the Fire Dragons have 25-26 Skill and 22 Speed before Firestone bonuses (for a total of 29-30 Skill and 26 Speed), while the Mage Dragons (including Xemcel) have 25 or 28 Skill and 25 Speed before Magestone bonuses (for a total of 26 or 29 Skill and 26 Speed). You can quickly check their actual Speed by looking at their Avoid stat, which is always equal to their Speed since enemies in this game have 0 Luck. Tiki needs 10 Strength to one-shot every Manakete on the map save Xemcel, and 12 to put him out to pasture. In addition, Speed-capped Swordmasters, Horsemen, and Thieves can take a forged Wyrmslayer and double the enemy Manaketes.

On turn 1, have your artillery kill the Thief. If you don't, you're almost certainly going to have to get someone killed to stop him from taking the Aum staff. After that, start making your way clockwise around the map. A couple of Magestone Manaketes, a Sniper, and a Bishop like to outflank you through the mountains, so leave some decent soldiers to act as a rearguard. Starting on turn 8 and going on every 3 turns until turn 50, enemy reinforcements will pop out of some of the fortresses. Have your cavalry bum rush them and plug up the forts so you can advance safely. Don't forget to pay a visit to the temple to claim the Aum staff and do your last bit of shopping at the secret shop in the southwest corner before finishing the map.

In Shadow Dragon, if you finish the chapter without Tiki and the Falchion, you will head to Chapter 24x. You can also take advantage of an exploit to go to 24x even if you have Tiki and Falchion: to do so, place the Falchion in her inventory and get her killed. You will be sent to 24x and the Falchion will be placed in your convoy. Afterwards, you can use the Aum Staff to resurrect Tiki if you so desire. There's a choice to be made here; skipping 24x gives you Gotoh, who comes packing the second Thoron tome, the only playable Swarm tome, the third Fortify staff, a free Recover staff, and the weapon ranks to use valuable weapons such as Excalibur and Warp. He also has built-in 1-2 range, letting him safely engage most of Medeus' minions. Going to 24x gives you another chapter worth of experience, gives you second copies of Excalibur, Aura, and the Divinestone, and gives you Nagi, a Manakete who can take a good chunk out of enemy Manaketes.
