Into the cave of flames we go, to try and find the Blazing Blade of ages past. It's one of the legendary weapons that will help us defeat Nergal once and for all.

We get to see our newly promoted Eliwood on a horse in action for the first time now, and boy is it majestic!. We're allowed to bring four other units with us on this map so choose wisely. Eliwood is forced down a path through the centre of the map, while two of your units go down the left path, and two down the right. Pick units with high resistance to go down the western path as it is full of magic users. People with ranged weapons should go down the eastern path as there are a lot of archers stationed along this route.

Make sure you bring a healer, or atleast somebody who can use a Physic stave like Pent. The long range healing is necessary as, knowing Eliwood, he is probably too weak to be able to take on all the enemies himself.

There are traps lining the floor of this map in the form of lava tiles. These tiles shoot out lava that deals 10 damage if a unit ends their turn on it, so only stop on a lava if you absolutely have to, be it for luring an enemy out or finishing off an annoying one.

Move up the paths, if you didn't train Eliwood in the slightest and he's having trouble defeating any of the enemies on his path, you can use the Rescue staff to warp him to one of the other paths. He should be fine though. There is a Sage with Bolting in the north-east who can be a pain, try to rush up that path, a trained Florina or Fiora will take out that entire pathway on their own with one Javelin.

Once you've reached the end of the path, there is a breakable wall on both side paths, and a gap to pass through for Eliwood. Then it's time to take on the boss!

Defeat	He's quite scary, his stats are very high, especially his health. A trained sword user like Guy or Raven will go to town on him however, failing that a high HP magic user or just gang up on him with all five of your units. Be very wary of his high crit chance however! Make sure your units are fully healed before you fight him and be wary that he moves if you come into range.
