Plot

Main article: The Shield of Thracia/Script

Leif continues his flight southward, towards Castle Meath. August advises Leif to seek aid from Thracia, but Leif refuses to ask his parents' murderers for help out of pride. He decides to continue his mission to liberate Tarrah, despite his lack of soldiers. Regrouping with Finn and Safy, Leif reaches Meath and meets Hannibal, who has arrested Osian, Halvan, and Ronan on suspicion of banditry. Hannibal releases Leif's allies and provides him a cavalier, Carrion, to escort him across the mountains.

Strategy

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

Eisenau's spawn location.

Placing a unit on Eisenau's exact spawn location will prevent both Eisenau from spawning, as well as all northern reinforcements except for three initial Cavaliers. Alternatively, Eisenau and the Munster units will escape the map once any player unit has escaped. Due to starting close from the escape point, it is possible to make Finn escape early to get rid of the Munster units. The cavaliers have Rapiers, which makes it hard to tank hits from them, though they can be easily stolen by Lifis.

Recruiting Shiva requires Finn and Safy to move southward before your other units move down. Have Finn (recommended to dismount as Shiva's group decreases in number) make a chokepoint with Safy nearby. Don't let Safy get in range of the enemies or she will likely be captured. Alternatively, if he captures a unit, he will run south, where he can be easily recruited.

The player can also go down the path on the left, but this is slower, features more enemies, and makes Shiva's recruitment more difficult.

If Lifis has gained at least 3 points of speed and 2 points of constitution, he can steal the Killing Edge out of Shiva's hands, both neutralizing him as a threat as an enemy and preventing him from accidentally getting himself killed if he tries to fight against Leif's forces, making it easier to approach him for recruitment.
