Plot
- Main article: Vortex of Strategy/Script
Lyndis and her troop continue towards Caelin, and Kent reveals that they are about two days away if they hurry. However, Nils senses danger and instructs Lyndis 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 caught. Lyndis 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. After they are routed, Matthew returns from his investigation of a nearby village. He reveals that rumor has it that Marquess Hausen is being poisoned by Lundgren and that Lundgren has claimed Caelin for his own. Lundgren has declared Lyndis to be an imposter and Sain and Kent traitors to Caelin. Lyndis realizes she needs a plan and decides to visit Eliwood for help.

The ballista is the main source of problems in this chapter. One particularly gutsy strategy to defeat it and claim it for your own is to defy Sain's advice and use Nils and Florina to kill its operator. This will put Florina in the sights of the other archer, but if she is well trained, she can survive a hit from him and only lose about half of her health.
Yogi is an easy boss. His Axereaver, although unique, is a poor choice of weapon for an armored knight. He can quickly and easily be dispatched with Lyn's Mani Katti, or Erk or Lucius can use their magic and range advantage for an easy kill.
