Beyond the Desert: Difference between revisions

[[Leif]], [[Finn]], and [[Nanna]] ([[Jeanne]], if [[Lachesis]] died or did not marry before the end of chapter 5) are automatically playable from the start of turn 1. Just like Shannan and Patty/Daisy, they start far away from Seliph's forces, only this time they are isolated in the area where Castle Leonster and Ulster are located, which is normally inaccessible to Seliph's army until they seize Castle Melgen; the only one who can reach and help the trio before that point is [[Fee]]/[[Hermina]], who is a flyer. During this time, they have to fend off and defend Castle Leonster as long as possible against [[Bloom]]'s forces, consisting of many armor knights and a few [[Thunder Mage]]s. If Leonster gets seized by the enemy units, it won't cause a [[Game Over]], but it will render the facilities inaccessible until Seliph seizes the castle back, which could put Leif's squad in a bad situation if their weapons are on the verge of breaking. They cannot leave the area on foot, due to the fact that two NPC [[Sword Fighter]]s are blocking the southern exit near Castle Melgen. If Leif, Finn, or Nanna have the [[Return Band]] in their inventory (either by Finn retaining it with him provided he did not marry during the first generation, or [[Ethlyn]] and Lachesis passing it down to Leif or Nanna, respectively), they can actually escape the Leonster/Ulster area. However, this is not recommended, since all three of them cannot escape (only up to two Return Bands can be obtained in the first generation), and those that could not warp back to the home castle will be left at the mercy of the Ulster army.
