Strategy

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

This map is straightforward. To access it though, you need to finish the game twice, ensuring you have both Narcian and Galle on your team. Deploy them alongside your Pegasus Knights, Melady and Zeiss. Be sure to monitor Galle and Narcian's health closely. Even though they are adept at handling many foes, accumulated damage might lead to their downfall.

Prioritize eliminating the Sage and the Druid swiftly. While they are not particularly tough, they can be bothersome. The foes to truly watch out for are those equipped with Killer weapons or weapons effective against specific classes. If possible, position ground units over some forts to maximize defense. Utilize flying units to transport them or use warp magic. Remember, flying units do not benefit from terrain bonuses.
