Beginning log

In a rural Crimean town, a band of rebels sow the seeds of discontent. They are stopped by Brom and Nephenee, two former Crimean soldiers. However, more uprisings are sure to follow. Brom and Nephenee decide to travel to Melior, the capital of Crimea, and inform Queen Elincia as to the gravity of the situation.

Strategy

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

While in the base, the player will be quick to notice that they will not have access to any items stored in the convoy during Part 1, nor could they use any of the bonus experience accumulated while playing as Micaiah and her allies. Indeed, there are three separate convoys and bonus experience storages throughout Radiant Dawn: the Dawn Brigade/Daein army, the Crimean army (who the player is currently playing as), and later the Greil Mercenaries. Skills also cannot be managed at all throughout Part 2.

Note that during this chapter, the player will encounter the first enemy unit armed with a crossbow-type weapon: an enemy Warrior wielding a Bowgun. An interesting thing to note about crossbows is that they ignore the user's strength, but they have a high might to compensate and allows 1-2 range combat, unlike regular bows. In practice, this meant that they would deal much less damage than regular bows in many situations; however, when it comes to dealing bonus damage, crossbows become lethally dangerous, due to their high might being tripled (the Bowgun has 24 might, but when it deals bonus damage, it can deal up to 72 damage). This makes it easy for them to potentially one-shot and kill flying units. As such, be sure that your flying units steer clear of them in upcoming chapters.

Trivia

• On Normal and Hard modes, this chapter features the game's only generic enemy Rogue.
