Bring Ramza as a Ninja to dash across the walls and pick off key targets, Agrias for Divine Ruination sweeps, and Mustadio for disabling enemies with Arm Shot.

A White Mage is vital for both Holy nukes and heals, while a Summoner provides safe long-range AoE without friendly fire.

Battle 38 A - Fort Besselat: South Wall Walkthrough

Walkthrough Guide

# Step by Step Objectives
1
South Wall or North Wall?
This battle is one of two possible entry points into Fort Besselat. You can either choose the South Wall or the North Wall and only one will be played in this chapter. Both lead directly to the Sluice Gate battle.
Should You Pick the North Wall or the South Wall in Chapter 4?
2
Split Your Party
Enemies are spread out across both sides of the field, which means you can gain control faster by dividing your squad. Form two balanced teams and assign Ramza and Agrias to opposite flanks so they can move upward immediately.

Take out the Ninja first as its elevated position, double attack, and high speed make them dangerous. The narrow path they stand on is perfect for AoE attacks like Shockwave or Divine Ruination to clear them fast.
3
Have the Rest Deal With Other Enemies
After eliminating the Ninja, turn your focus to the Thief. They can steal weapons and gear, so either bring the Safeguard support ability or use Mustadio’s Arm Shot to disable them before finishing the job.

Your White Mage can pull double duty by casting Holy for big damage while patching up the team. Meanwhile, your Summoner’s AoE magic will shine here, dealing heavy damage to clustered foes without friendly fire, making cleanup fast and safe.
