Beginning log

A former lance instructor to Ephraim, Grado's General Duessel often came to Renais as an emissary of his empire. Despite their stations, the two men share similar dispositions and a warm relationship. Why has Grado started this war? What is the miasma of evil emanating from the country? Ephraim believes that Duessel can answer these questions. It is this belief that propels Ephraim forward into Grado territory.

Strategy

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

This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


Obtaining the Knight Crest at the end of the chapter requires that all of Duessel's units survive. As such, deploying mounted units to handle the pirates southward is highly recommended. Being a survival chapter, it is not required to kill Beran, and one may want to obtain the horseslayer, killing edge, and even the secret book before doing so if they wish. Cormag will stay away from the battle until turn 4, so speaking with Duessel or even deploying Tana is key to recruiting him.

While it is improbable for Duessel to fall unless poor decisions are made, his defeat will result in a Game Over.
