Plot

Main article: Camus the Sable/Script

Before the siege of Grust, Nyna explains that Camus intervened on her behalf to prevent her from being executed by Dolhr and that she has fallen in love with him, then asks Marth to find a way to convince him to stand down. Despite Marth's best efforts, Camus refuses to yield, and is defeated and presumed dead. Marth does succeed in recruiting the Grustian general Lorenz, an old friend of Caeda's father. After the battle, Marth leaves Nyna to her grief.

Strategy

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

Preparation and Unit Promotion:

  • Promote any unpromoted units. If they're not at Level 20 yet, use the Arena. It's safer than Mystery, but still requires caution.
  • If you have plenty of money, invest in Silver or Killer weapons. Save some funds for future chapters though; you'll need at least 30,000 Gold if you have the Silver Card for half-price discounts.
  • Healing staffs are not for sale in this chapter; bring plenty of them if you plan on using the Arena.
  • Bring defensive units like Generals to block reinforcements.
  • Bring Ridersbanes to defeat the Paladins.

During Battle:

  • Use Tiki with the Firestone; save the Divinestone for stronger enemies.
  • Use legendary weapons and Aura/Excalibur with the Starsphere, preventing weapon usage.
  • Initially, position a defensive unit within the Paladins' range. After defeating them, send your high-mobility units against the Ballisticians.
  • Secure the village with Marth, then return to the bridge.
  • Use the Hammerne staff (Lena only) for legendary/forged weapons restoration.
  • Raise the bridge with a Thief or Master Key, confront the Generals, and place a defensive unit on the bridge to halt reinforcements.
  • Use ranged attackers cautiously; some enemies carry Killer or Silver weapons.
  • Utilize terrain and supports to improve evasion against the Ballistician.
  • Recruit Lorenz with Caeda.

Dealing with Camus:

  • Unfortunately, Camus is not recruitable. Draw him into attack range with a sturdy unit. Survive his onslaught and the Ballistician's potential attacks.
  • If you've trained a Ballistician, use Thunderbolt. It's effective against Camus. Heal the bait unit and clear Camus's range for the next turn.
  • Attack Camus with multiple units using Ridersbane. Beware: distant attackers (mages/archers) risk fatal counterattacks.
  • If available, use the Pegasus sisters (Est, Palla, Catria) for a Triangle Attack, guaranteeing a critical hit.

Note: You'll head to Chapter 20x if you finish this chapter with 15 or fewer units alive.

Trivia

  • This chapter is one of two in the story of the War of Shadows whose precise Japanese title differs between games (in this case, all three instances being slightly different from one another), the other being Chapter 11.
