However, Nils senses danger and instructs Lyn to stay put—she barely avoids an attack from a ballista. Sain explains what ballistae are and warns Florina to stay aground lest she get shot down. Lyn asks Wil if he can use a ballista, and he responds that he should be able to figure it out. The group confronts and defeats Yogi, the commander of the enemy forces.

This chapter has no augury. Hannah will offer her services beginning in Chapter 14. |
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody. |
Despite the warnings Sain gives in the opening dialogue, the Ballista on this map is not that big of a threat as it will likely fail to one shot Florina. The Weapon Effectiveness bonus in the Western localization of this game is ×2 as opposed to ×3, so as long as Florina can survive one 19 to 20 might attack—which she can at full HP with her base stats—and is out of range of all other enemies, she will survive, causing the ballista to target Nils or Serra instead. Since the ballista is not all that dangerous, you can safely use Florina to rescue drop units on the other side of the forest and have them clear out some of the enemies to clear the chapter objective quicker. If Nils plays for Florina after she rescues a unit, she can drop that unit on the same turn and use canto to return to safety. While you move your units through the forest to the south, have either Erk or Lucius take out the mages and visit the village. You will get a Lancereaver which will be useful against a later boss that only has lances and it is valuable, meaning it will contribute to your funds ranking.
The opening dialogue of this chapter suggests that the player use Wil to man the ballista, however, this is of little use since Wil will need no enemies in range of him to use the ballista without taking attacks he cannot counterattack, and the ballista has a Weight of twenty, reducing Wil's AS to zero and putting him in mortal danger against several enemies. Furthermore, the ballista does not do damage to the enemies surrounding Yogi, or Yogi himself, that other units cannot deal.
Yogi is quite easy to kill. Since he is carrying an Axereaver he is incredibly weak to swords, so much so that you will likely be able to take him out in one round with Lyn's Mani Katti or the Armorslayer.
There is no forced tutorial in this chapter, meaning that the strategy for clearing hard mode is the same as the strategy for clearing normal mode.
