Best Characters to Use For This Battle

This battle can be tricky because of the castle walls and the need to keep Mustadio safe. An Archer Ramza helps pick off enemies from range, while a Black Mage can punish clustered foes.
A Knight provides strong close-range offense and can be even more versatile if equipped with the Black Magicks command if nobody is close enough. Meanwhile, a Dragoon’s Jump lets them reach elevated positions to pressure enemies on the walls.
Battle 14: Castled City of Zaland Walkthrough
Walkthrough Guide
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Have Your Jump at 4 or Above Before heading to this location, your units' Jump stat should be at least 4 or above. The walls here are very high, making them tough to scale with low Jump. If you can’t jump high enough, you’ll need to take the alternate route by walking the long way around to the door. With high Jump, you can leap onto the castle walls and attack enemies from there. |
| * |  Spiked Boots and Archer's Jump +1 Ability You can manually increase your Jump stat by +2. Equip Spiked Boots, which are purchasable in towns, and learn the Archer’s Jump +1 Movement Ability. Both together grant a total +2 Jump. |
| 1 |  Save Mustadio At the start of the battle, you’ll be given the option to avoid getting involved or to save Mustadio. Regardless of your choice, you’ll still end up saving him. Choose the second option to increase your party’s Bravery by 10 and proceed with the fight. ►How to Increase or Decrease Bravery |
| 2 |  Protect Mustadio Once the battle begins, immediately cast Protect or Shell on Mustadio. He tends to fight aggressively without hesitation, and you can’t directly command him. To do this, have someone in your party learn these spells from the White Mage skillset, then equip the White Magicks command so you can use them even if the unit isn’t currently a White Mage. |
| 3 |  Eliminate the Black Mages and Archers First Once Mustadio is protected, he’ll start targeting the nearby enemies, primarily the Black Mages. Focus on defeating them first before anyone else. Have long-range units, such as Ramza and your Black Mage, assist him in taking them down. |
| 4 |
Defeat the Remaining Enemies After the Black Mages are gone, the fight becomes much easier. Have your units clean up by targeting enemies that Mustadio isn’t already focused on, quickly thinning their numbers. |
Chapter 2: The Manipulator and the Subservient Walkthrough
Should You Save or Ignore Mustadio?
Either Option Leads to Saving Mustadio
| Decision | Effect |
|---|---|
| I'd sooner avoid trouble, but we've no choice. | ・-10 Bravery to all units ・Mustadio’s death will not result in a Game Over.. |
| We cannot stand by and watch! | ・+5 Bravery to all units ・If Mustadio dies, you will get a Game Over. |
It is generally recommended to choose “We cannot stand by and watch!” since the Bravery boost makes your team stronger overall. The added risk of protecting Mustadio can make the fight trickier, but he is aggressive and useful in combat, and this choice aligns better with the story.
Choosing the other option simply lowers your Bravery and gives you no real benefit, so it’s the less optimal pick.
