Strategy

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

One of your big goals is to get Palla some kills to bring her closer to level 9 so that she can promote in the Seabound Shrine. Give Palla the Steel Lance and send her charging northeast supported by Leon and Genny. Meanwhile, the rest of your party can clean out the west side. Feel free to kill on enemy phase if you have to, as there are no supplies for the enemies to use here.

After this map, you can enter the Mountain Village, recruit Atlas, and access the Blacksmith for the first time. Trade in any provisions you have except stat boosters and those you need for sidequests, and you can forge yourself something nice. A Silver Lance is a very powerful weapon for Act 3, although you will potentially threaten your ability to complete the sidequest "The Merchant of Death" if you do so.

Sadly, you will most likely have to pass through this area and fight this skirmish a few times in order to promote Palla, deal with Grieth, and complete sidequests.

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Once placid, this
mountain graveyard
is now steeped in a
miasma that calls
forth hideous
Terrors, keeping
the living at bay.
山の中に作られた墓地。
近年は怪しい瘴気に
覆われ魔物がはびこる
恐ろしい場所に
なってしまっている。
