Paralogue: The Face Beneath - Tips and Tricks

Cheese Kill the Death Knight

FE3H Critical Strike
It is possible to attempt a cheese kill against the Death Knight. Equip Caspar with a weapon that has a high critical rate like a Killer Axe and attempt a combat art against him. A lucky critical hit will defeat the Death Knight in one hit (hopefully).

Rush To Caspar and Mercedes

Fe3H Giant WOlf
There will be a giant wolf that will continually harass Caspar and Mercedes. If they're weak enough, the Wolf can kill either of the two quickly. Use Stride gambits and Warp spells to be able to come to their aid as soon as possible.

Use the Death Knight's Stronghold

Killing the Death Knight and taking a stand on the stronghold will greatly increase the duo's survivability.

Defeat Death Knight Using Caspar

FE3H Scyhte of Sariel
Even if you were not able to cheese the Death Knight, attempt to kill him using Caspar. You will recieve the Scythe of Sariel, a powerful spear weapon after the battle if Caspar successfully defeats the knight.
