Strategy

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

Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

To get Falchion later in the game, you need the Lightsphere and Starsphere from Chapter 19. Without them, make sure you have a character near 20 strength to beat the final boss. You might need Power Rings from the secret shop to boost a unit's strength. See Chapter 25's strategy for more info.

Shadow Dragon

Combat and Engagement:

  • Advance northward cautiously; wait for enemies to come into range rather than charging in. Pull back if you're close to being overrun.
  • Focus on leveling up units like Tiki or Est. There are plenty of flying units for bow users to gain experience here as well.
  • Deal with reinforcements as they approach, keeping an eye out for Ridersbane-wielding Dracoknights.
  • Pull Generals one at a time to better handle the critical hit-prone Sniper.
  • Use a unit with over 19 defense to absorb potential critical hits.

Secret Shop and Armory:

  • Situated in the northeast on the lone plain surrounded by mountains. This shop offers highly valuable stat-enhancing items.
  • Invest wisely in items that supplement your units' weaknesses, such as Speedwings for Linde/Merric or Energy Drops for Caeda.
  • Use the Silver Card to halve the cost of these items.
  • This is the last chance to buy Silver Axes and Killer Axes from the armory.

Boss - Orridyon:

  • Orridyon is a straightforward target who's weak to magic, Ridersbane, the Rapier, or Tiki.
