Pos Item
1 Armorslayer
2 Silver Lance
3 Cursed Ashiya Sword
4 Axe of Ukonvasara

Armorslayer

A sword that is effective against armor. Because it's behind a locked door and it is buyable, it isn't worth getting unless you rely on your swordsman for damage. However, if you do have a flier and it's easy to get this, by all means go ahead and get it.

Silver Lance

While you can buy silver lances and it isn't urgent to get if you're not hurting on cash, the fact that it's reasonably in the main route and not behind a locked door makes it worth getting if you have the spare key. If you can only get two keys, it is recomended to save them for the latter two.

Cursed Ashiya Sword

A cursed sword with below average Hit that damages you when you use it in combat. In exchange, it has high Mt and a higher chance of doing critical hits. This is the only place you can find this weapon, so worth getting.

Axe of Ukonvasara

A blessed axe associated with the Crest of Gloucester that is effective against armor and regenerates HP every turn. Worth going out of your way to get this, as this is the only way to obtain this item.

Map Features

You will traverse through the huge map of the chapel. Some parts are closed off by locked doors, and you will be surrounded by walls and edifices which are only navigable by fliers.

Tips and Tricks

Watch Out for Pallardo!

After defeating Pallardo for the first time, he will try to escape. It will be hard to get around without fliers nearby. Have units on the upper left area from Pallardo's base position to take him down.

Do Not Rush One by One

The enemies are in groups and it may be tempting to rush head-on with a flier, but doing so will get your ally killed. Try to go in groups as well to distribute the damage dealt.

Use Heal Tiles+ and Forest Tiles

The number of enemies can be overwhelming at the start, but if you use the map features to your advantage, you can evade and withstand enemy attacks.

Use the Walls to Your Advantage

The Golden Deer house has a lot of archers, and you can easily defeat enemies without them getting near you. You can also opt not to destroy the walls and attack them from the opposite side.

Use Fliers to Open the Chests

If you want to open the chests without finding door keys, you can use fliers to go beside the chest, over the wall. They'll still be able to open the chests.
