Strategy

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

This map is brutal. Send Palla to the west side of the citadel to assassinate targets behind enemy lines like Snipers and Arcanists. She will likely be the one to aggro Grieth. Meanwhile, everyone else can storm the citadel and wipe out all adversaries. Grieth himself will double pretty much your entire team, but unlike Deen (if you fought him) his crit rate isn't very impressive.

Once you're through with Grieth, make sure to pay another visit to the Mountain Village to send over the Rion Shield. Alm really wants to complete that sidequest.
