Eliwood and crew race to Castle Caelin to make light of the situation. The castle has been attacked and there are enemies swarming everywhere. What has become of Lyndis though? Wait, what's that falling out of the sky...? The map for this level is tricky to traverse. It's full of dense forest tiles that hinder your movement quite a bit depending on how many spaces you're trying to move. We have five 'new' units joining the party in this chapter. All five of which we have seen before though, they all took part in Lyn's mode with us. Florina, is with our main force on the western side of the map. Lyn, Kent, Sain and Wil are in the south east corner next to the Armory and Shops.

The objective is to try and get to the middle of the map so that both groups can meet up. There are some mercenaries in the south that will move up towards you, a swift lance user takes care of those. Some other mercenaries, a myrmidon and an archer head towards Lyn's position. Use Sain and Kent to kill the mercenaries and Wil for the archer.

A note of warning about this map. There is a thief on the map who looks fairly harmless. You may also be wondering, why is there a thief on this map, if there are no chests? This is because this thief has been programmed like the thieves in the previous Fire Emblem game, and those thieves had the ability, like brigands and pirates, to destroy villages if they reached them. This thief races to the south to try and reach the village there to destroy it. Visit it before he gets there to recieve a Heavy Spear. Visit the other village to recieve a Red Gem.

Once the initial enemies have been taken care of, we head towards the centre of the map. Some brigands spawn from the mountains just above Merlinus' position on the first two turns so leave a sword user in wait for them. The rest of your group will head up towards the boss.

There are some cavaliers that arrive at the centre of the map around turn 4, they are quite fast and can kill some of your slower units such as Bartre so be wary of how much they can move. Let Lowen tank them up with somebody ranged in behind to assist.

Mercenaries and cavaliers appear from the forts on the northern side of the map. They aren't much trouble, but as always, keep your weaker units out of range if they are in danger of being killed.

Once that is taken care of, head up towards the boss. If the chapter takes too long however, cavalier reinforcements will appear from north of the starting position, so unless you've left somebody back there to take care of them, they will rush straight for Merlinus and kill him. Leave Dorcas, Bartre or Hector behind to take them on if you think the chapter will take that long.
