The Archanean League at last arrives in Altea, and Marth recounts how his mother Liza and sister Elice vanished when Gra betrayed them. Marth's army annihilates the Grustian soldiers protecting the castle and slays their commander, Hollstadt. Malledus and Nyna prematurely declare victory, but Marth notes that the enemy still holds the castle interior and rallies his comrades to retake his home.

Strategy

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

In this chapter, you must choose between Arran and Samson, two mediocre pre-promotes. Samson (in the right village) has more attractive base stats, but Arran (in the left village) is packing better equipment. The choice is yours. You also get Xane, a wonky but effective unit whose gimmick is transforming into other units for five turns.

Your first order of business is to kill the Dracoknights and send your cavalry in a mad dash west to kill the Thief before he levels a village on Turn 5. You also want to park some units on the northwestern forts to block off enemy reinforcements, although that shouldn't be too hard. Once the villages are safe, wipe out the first wave of cavalry and hit the save point. Cavalry reinforcements will trickle towards your position, but they are so far away and come in such small bites that they are laughable. There isn't much stopping you from just waltzing up to Hollstadt and knocking him upside the head. Just don't forget to visit the shops and bust Xane out of the prison.
