Chapter 13a Exploration Phase

Disabling the Streetlights

Mother and Son

To take out this streetlight, talk to the little boy beside it. Then, go to his house where his mother is currently in. The house is in the Northwest corner of the map. Enter it, and talk to the mother. Go back to to talk to the child. You can now take out the streetlight as there will be no witnesses.

This cutscene should play once you have succesfully returned the child to his mother.

Milo's Distraction

To lure out this guard from this streetlight. First talk to Milo. Then, talk to this guard near the lake and tell him about Milo being a suspicious figure. Go back to Milo, then finally take out the streetlight.

This mini-cutscene should play once you have successfully lured out the guard.

Unguarded Streetlight

For this unguarded streetlight North of the map, just take it out as there are no witnesses in this area.

Notes on Streetlights

Taking out streetlights is not a requirement to take out the dam, but it is arguably easier to access the dam area if the lights are out.

In most situations, reinforcements will be alarmed anyway so do not worry if you have not taken out the lights. The reinforcements are not unlimited nor are they powerful. They are just hindrances so as long as you can rush the dam area and take out the opponents there, you will be fine!

Battle Strategies

Wait For the Right Time to Alert the Guards

The element of surprise is the party's strongest ally in this battle. Position your units at the right spots before attacking.

Take Cover

Become invisible for 2 turns(s). Effect will be lost if you attack or stand directly in front of a foe. Power: - Range: 0-0 (Height -0 - +0)

Even if some lamposts still work, Anna's Take Cover ability will let her go unnoticed. Prepare for a surprise attack.

Frederica and Corentin Easily Clears Guards

Corentin finishes off what Frederica started!

A tandem of Corentin's Icy Breath and Frederica's Scorch make quick work of guards. If guards are alerted early, they can easily clear the 3 foes that spawn near the start!

Icy Breath

Deal ice-type magic damage to all enemies within range and freeze the ground. Power: 34 Range: 0-4 (Height -10 - +10)

Scorch

Deal fire-type magic damage to all enemies within range and set the ground ablaze. Power: 26 Range: 0-4 (Height -10 - +10)

Rush the Cliffs

The battle ends in two ways, ether all enemy units are defeated or enemy units in the dam are defeated. A good way to easily win the battle is to head quickly to the dam as only 4 units including Syrcas, guards it.

Use the Lightwave Quietus to instantly transport your strongest unit behind enemy lines.
Quietuses Guide: List and How to Use

Use Jens' Ladder

Since Quietuses can only be used once per battle, there's only one other option when going up the cliff without going through all the enemies. Use Jens' Ladder ability to get your units to the top fo the cliffs without going through all those enemy units.

Ladder

Set a ladder on a selected square for easy access to other areas. Ladders previously set with this ability will disappear. Power: - Range: 1-1 (Height ±2 - ±10)

Prepare your the base of the beside the house near the deployment area so every goes smoothly.

Block the Way Using Wall of Ice

One way to fend off enemies is to use Corentin's Wall of Ice to stop enemies from reaching your position. Since the corridor is so narrow, Corentin can even stacktwo sets of walls side by side.

Wall of Ice

Create an obstacle across 3 horizontal squares. The obstacle will disappear over time. Power: - Range: 1-4 (Height -10 - +10)

Take note that Wall of Ice can easily be destroyed but acts well enough as a barrier for one or two turns.

Swiftly Assault the Watchtower!

The main in this map are the units in the dam area. Take them out, and you win. However, because of the elevation difference, it will be difficult even for Hughette to take them out. We recommend positioning Anna so she can use Surmount to hop onto the tower, then swiftly following with a Bird of Prey or Twofold Turn boosted Roland and a Moon Jump from Milo. These three units can easily overwhelm the dam units.

Chapter 13a General Tips

Take Time to Deactivate Streetlights

Generally, the later you sound the alarm for reinforcements to come, the quicker you will be able to clear the map. Remember that you can just stall and ignore reinforcements and quickly rush the dam. It does not take much time to do so, so we encourage players to deactivate the lamps as you will save time in the long run.
