Main Objectives
1. Seize the port strongholds! 2. Defeat the ambushers! 3. Defeat the invading troops! 4. Defeat Balthus!/Defeat and Recruit Balthus! 5. Defeat Ferdinand and defend Derdriu until the very end! Side Objectives ・ Don't let the Thief reach the evacuation point! ・ Seize the strongholds to stop the fire orbs! ・ Seize all the strongholds. |
|
| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Once the mission starts, focus on sending one of your powerful allies towards Judith, protecting her and taking over the strongholds. Send the rest of you team to take the surrounding strongholds down. To make make it easier to get S-Rank, take out as many soldiers as possible while your allies deal with the strongholds. |
| 2 |  Once the strongholds have been taken over, keep at least 2 allies on this side before taking the lowered drawbridge across. You'll need to protect each stronghold so send out at last 2 allies to the other western side. If Shez is a Fluegel, they will be at a disadvantage on the Eastern side, so send them West. |
| 3 |  Defeat the ambushers on both sides, keeping the ports up at the same time. |
| 4 |  Sometime during the ambush, a Thief will appear on the eastern side. Send one ally to take them out quickly to finish an optional side quest. |
| 5 | If your characters are managing, take time to take over strongholds and defeat enemies. This will be helpful later on. |
| 6 |  Once the ambushers are defeated, invading troops will appear on the western side. Don't worry though! Holst will join you as a playable character. Holst will be Lv 15, making him a a powerful ally. |
| 7 | Have Holst take over a few strongholds for you. But be careful as they will begin to attack you with fire orbs. |
| 8 |  If you chose the Pontoon Bridge strategy, boats will arrive to create a bridge to the other side. Leave one ally on the northwest to take over the strongholds and to defend your own, then send everyone else to the south. If Judith is fine, leave a healer in her area and send your other allies to take over strongholds. |
| 9 |  After defeating the invading troops, Balthus will appear. This is your chance to recruit him if you chose the Persuade Batlhus strategy. |
| 10 |  Defeating Balthus will draw Ferdinand out. He'll be making his way towards Judith while his allies will attempt to take the western stronghold. |
| 11 | Assign allies to defend these areas. |
| 12 | Optional but recommended for S-Rank: Seize all the strongholds. If you've been sending allies out from the beginning, you should have most of the strongholds under your control. |
| 13 | Once you're finished, order an All Out Attack on Ferdinand. Making the most of your current allies, unleash a volley of attacks to knock him down quickly. Defeating him will end the Quest. |
