If you have neglected Roy throughout your gameplay, brace yourself for a challenging map. The difficulty does not stem from Roy being easily defeated, but rather from the need to defeat most enemies in a single strike. If Roy cannot manage this, you risk depleting your weapons, making the map extremely hard, if not impossible. However, a well-leveled Roy is less likely to be hit by enemies.
If you have invested in leveling Roy up, arm him with several Silver Swords. With these, and assuming he has decent speed (around 20) and near-maximum strength, he can take out non-promoted enemies in one hit. For promoted enemies, you would typically need two hits with the Silver Sword. Alternatively, you can rely on the Killing Edge or the Durandal and Binding Blade.
Do not forget that using the Sword of Seals as an item can restore 30 HP. If Roy can quickly defeat the first group of Warriors and then position himself atop a fort, he will recover from most damage. This is because the Warriors, with their bows, are the primary threat in inflicting damage. For optimal maneuverability, especially through sand, ensure Roy is equipped with Boots, available at the Secret Shop in Chapter 21.
