This battle divides your forces between Ramza’s solo fight and the remaining team at the castle gate. Ramza excels as a Monk, giving him durability and self-sustain with Chakra while trying to disarm Gaffgarion.
On the outside, Agrias brings her immeasurable Holy Sword skills, while Mustadio locks down targets and punishes from range. A Black Mage thrives against clustered enemies, taking advantage of elemental spells to soften groups, and a Chemist ensures the party stays healed and supplied with items.
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |
Prepare for a Two-Part Battle This stage is immediately followed by another fight inside Lionel Castle Keep, so you won’t have the chance to resupply or change gear in between. Make sure everyone is stocked with items, Phoenix Downs, and correct equipment before you begin. |
| 2 | ![]() Disarm Gaffgarion by Stealing His Sword In this battle, Gaffgarion returns and Ramza starts alone, separated from the rest of the party. A top priority is stealing Gaffgarion's Ancient Sword so he can’t use Shadowblade. Ramza works best as a Monk here, since he can keep himself alive with Chakra while trying to swipe Gaffgarion’s weapon with the Thief’s Steal Weapon skill. Just make sure Ramza has the Steal command equipped beforehand. ►How to Steal Equipment |
| 3 | ![]() Pull the Lever to Open the Gate Once Gaffgarion is disarmed, he becomes far less threatening. You can finish him off or head straight to the nearby lever to open the gate and let the rest of the party inside. |
| 4 | ![]() Hold the Line With Team B While Ramza works on the gate, the rest of your squad has to fend off the enemies outside. Mustadio’s ranged pressure and Agrias’s Holy Sword skills pair perfectly with a Chemist’s support and a Black Mage nuking from the backline. |
| 5 | ![]() Reunite and Clean Up the Remaining Enemies Once the gate is open, regroup Ramza with the rest of your team. If Gaffgarion is still standing, you can now overwhelm him with your full party. If not, shift focus to mopping up the remaining enemies inside and outside the castle gate. |
