Beginning log

After saving the hidden village of Arcadia, the Lycian League Army followed Igrene out of the desert. Roy's next task was to confront the Revolutionaries in Etruria. However, a messenger from Nabata came to him with disturbing news. Fae, the little Dragon girl, had left Arcadia, following Roy. It would be a disaster if the Revolutionaries or Bern got their hands on her. Bent on finding her before the enemy, Roy led his forces toward a small fort on the Etrurian border.

Strategy

In the game, if you didn't eliminate or recruit Perceval in Chapter 13, you'll encounter his group again. To recruit him in this chapter, you'll need to interact with him using either Larum or Elffin. If you succeed, his allied cavaliers (the four nearby) will provide a Knight Crest at the chapter's conclusion, granted they survive till the end. Notably, recruiting Perceval this time is much simpler than in Chapter 13.

During the preparation phase, position Larum or Elffin directly above Roy. As the chapter commences, move Larum or Elffin Northward. On the following turn, approach and talk to Perceval. Chances are he will approach you without being obstructed.

If you manage to recruit Perceval, prioritize safeguarding the green cavaliers. An enemy Dragon Rider, positioned beyond the mountain, poses a threat to one of the cavaliers. Once you've cleared other threats, release the cavaliers, and they'll exit via the map's bottom.

Additionally, you can recruit Garret, a berserker. Have Lilina converse with him swiftly, or he'll destroy the village that provides the unique Hammerne staff — which can restore a weapon's usage count — before the 6th turn. If Lilina can't reach him in time, utilize Larum or Elffin's swift movement abilities to obstruct his path to the town. Engage Garret with a unit that neither harms him significantly nor is in danger from his roughly 40% critical hit rate.

Beyond this, advance strategically. Rely on units with high movement and defense. There are only two enemy magic units (Valkyries), but they should still be approached cautiously. As you progress, station your units in forests for protection, and employ flying units to transport slower units so they remain in the group. If enemy reinforcements become an annoyance, position some of your units on forts to block their appearance.

If you have weapons effective against mounted units, like the Rapier, Horse Slayer, or Spear, dealing with Raeth becomes a breeze. If not, target him with mages or archers, ensuring to heal them if their health dwindles.

Trivia

• This chapter's layout bears a significant resemblance to chapter 15 of Thracia 776. Coincidentally, both are also the fifteenth chapters of their respective titles.
