|---|---|
| 2 |  Search for the swordsman El. Make your way to the Valley of Death. To get there, simply exit Shepherds Rock and head southeast through Shepherds Rock Pass. Continue along this path until you reach Valley of Death: East, where you will find El near a cliff. |
| 3 |  Speak with El to trigger a scene. He will ask if you are prepared to die for a fight not your own; say yes. Afterward, a lengthy scene will play out. |
| 4 |  Proceed through the Valley of Death. Once you regain control, you will be in the Valley of Death: East and El returns to your party. Proceed to the southwest exit, then head to the center of the Valley of Death to trigger the next scene. |
| 5 | Continue to follow the path southward. Your group will be disrupted by a tremor and Gonzalez the Ironarm will block your way. You will need to defeat him to get past. Gonzalez the Ironarm's weaknesses are swords, daggers, tomes, ice, and wind. After depleting his HP, he will run away. |
| 6 |  Head to the main encampment. After the fight, El will suggest you catch Gonzalez to prevent him from revealing your surprise attack plan. Proceed west to reach Valley of Death: West. Continue moving in a westward direction until you approach the northwest exit and witness a scene between General Krauser and Gonzalez the Ironarm. |
| 7 |  You need to defeat General Krauser to get to the enemy's main camp. After the fight, El will spare him. General Krauser does not easily give up, but upon recognizing El, he allows you to pass. |
| 8 |  Head north and watch the scene where El's true identity is revealed. You will then engage in combat against King Pardis III with El alone and lose. Afterwards, the El the Swordsman chapter will be completed after the cutscene ends. |

Gonzalez the Ironarm can use a move called Ram which will deal damage and force the damaged character to the back row, which can be troublesome if you have mostly support characters in your back row.
Make sure to have some characters that can deal sword, dagger, tome, wind, and ice damage on the back row to ensure that you can still deal damage to the boss' shield even if he forces your characters to switch

 General Krauser (Valley) | |
| Shield Points (SP) | 10 SP |
| Weaknesses |     |

 General's Subordinate (Valley) | |
| Shield Points (SP) | 5 SP |
| Weaknesses |    |
General Krauser is accompanied by two General's Subordinates in both his Valley and Edoras Gate encounter.
You'll need to defeat both subordinates since General Krauser has a move where the subordinates will prevent you from dealing weakness damage to him, which will make taking down the boss more difficult.
General Krauser and his subordinates all use physical attacks, so debuffing them with Phys. Atk. Down will make the fight easier.
