Chapter 21 (Golden Deer) - Chests

There are two chests in this map, one in the northern side and one outside the southern walls.

Position Chest Contents
1 Sword of Zoltan
2 Bow of Zoltan

Sword of Zoltan

The Sword of Zoltan is one of the strongest swords in game in terms of Weight and Might, and it should be able to last you the rest of the game, seeing as there's only one chapter left. It would be a good idea especially if you have a heavy damage dealer in the form of a sword user.

Bow of Zoltan

The Bow of Zoltan is one of the strongest bows in game, but it does not have great accuracy. In a mainly archer based army, it would be worth getting, or as a spare, in case there are not enough Brave Bows to go around for your units.

Chapter 21 (Golden Deer) - Tips and Tricks

Open Unknown Buildings with Cavalry

There are three unknown buildings, in the center, northwest and southeast. They have locked doors that need keys to open them, but once opened, the inside is not visible until you get a unit in the first square past the door. Use cavalry to open doors because they have a movement after this action, allowing you to use one unit to both open the door and peer in.

Disable the Viskams

Once you have units within the outer walls, Thales will order the activation of Viskams. They are long ranged emplacements with 100hp, so difficult to defeat.
FE3H Stand Strong at Shambhala Viskam Range

Defeat Pittacus

To shut them down you must defeat Pittacus, who is in the southeastern room within the outer walls. You will need a key to access the area.

Stop the Titanus Reinforcements

At the end of turn 5 enemy phase, two Titanuses will enter the field from the south. At the end of turn 7 enemy phase, another will enter.

Defeat Bias

To ensure this does not happen, eliminate Bias, a Gremory who is in the northwestern room within the outer walls. You will need a key to access the area.

Beware Thales' Quake

The first enemy phase after you see Thales will cast Quake, a spell which damages all of your non-flying units. If possible, eliminate Thales on-sight once he's in view. If not, make sure all your units are healed before entering his building,
