Not knowing where to go or what to do next on their mission, the group turns to Hector's brother for guidance. They decide to meet at a Lycian border territory in secret. While waiting for Lord Uther to arrive, disaster strikes. Suddenly Nils collapses and can't be woken up. This coincides with the arrival of the Laus mercenaries who want revenge for what we did to their land and their lord.

What we have on our hands is a defend chapter, Nils can't be moved and needs to be protected for 13 turns. But as most defend chapters, if we defeat the boss the chapter will end instantly.

A new unit joins the troupe at the start of this chapter, Isadora who was a personal guard for Eliwood's mother has come to supply us with back-up, and she brought an Angelic Robe. That was nice of her. Along with her there are a few NPC knights on the map that are fairly useless, they usually don't even get into range to attack the enemies.

On the second turn Rath and two mercenaries appear from the north east, talk to Rath with Lyn and he will join us again having the same stats as he had from Lyn's mode.

The final unit to join us in this chapter is Heath, a wyvern rider who is with the enemy. He starts off in the south west corner and makes his way up the map towards your units. Talk to him with any of the Lords or Ninian and he will join us.

The boss is in a central location on the southern part of the map so we can reach him in as little as 5 turns if you try. I'll outline a more general strategy however.

Start by sending all your units southwards on the first two turns, the knights will presumably be in the way making leaving the initial room annoying. Send Lyn eastwards so that she can recruit Rath on turn 3. The rest of your group should divide into two groups at the start. One to head south and the other to converge on the units that hang around the breakable piece of wall on the west side. A Thief is situated on the western side and he heads straight for the chests, he reaches the door on turn 3 and the first chest on turn 4, which contains 10,000 gold so make sure you hurry to stop him.

You can recruit Heath on turn 3 as well, he will have reached the inner section by now, just past the room with the chests in it, recruit him and rush for the thief, cavaliers are very useful for this with their high movement. On the western side the enemies will break down the wall. These enemies are a wyvern, two fighters, a cavalier and a nomad, bring your best units to take them out and watch out as the fighters carry Swordreavers so your sword users won't be as effective.

Reinforcements spawn from all angles of the map each turn, all of them head straight for your position, keep heading south, heal whenever possible, those healers need to be reaching maximum level sooner rather than later.

Head southwards towards the boss and take him on. Attack with Heath for a special conversation.
