	Objectives
1	Find Lonato in one of the strongholds! The main quest starts with your characters at the top-right corner of the map. You'll be prompted to check each of the 9 strongholds to try and find where Lonato is. However his true location will be the southeast corner of the map.
2	It will still be worth it to clear out the strongholds though to have more troops on your side. You'll also have to assign units to target the Armored Knights the Mercenaries, and Ingrid to help protect the Gaspard Troops.
3	Get to Lonato! Have one or two troops make their way to Lonato's location as you continue clearing out the other enemies on the map.
4	Defeat Ashe! / Defeat and recruit Ashe! After Lonato has been rescued, Ashe will appear at the southern part of the map. This will be your chance to defeat and recruit him if you used the Persuade Ashe strategy.
5	After defeating Ashe, Byleth and the rest of Jeralt's mercenaries will appear on the north side of the map. You will have to confront and defeat Byleth but don't ignore Lonato.
6	You can order an all-out offensive against Byleth but try to keep 1 or 2 units close to Lonato ready to defend him in case the enemy approaches.
7	Once enough damage is dealt to Byleth, Jeralt will appear from the East Side of the map and Alois will appear from the southwest side of the map. Command several of units to target them but keep 1 or 2 units against Byleth and at least 1 unit defending Lonato.
8	After bringing Byleth's health down enough, he will retreat completing the Face and defeat Byleth! side mission.
9	Defeat Jeralt and Alois! Once Byleth has been driven away, you can return your focus to the Main Mission to take out Jeralt and Alois!
