The Battle at Gronder Field Walkthrough

Objectives
1
It will be quite simple to take over the enemy strongholds, almost too easy. We would suggest taking some time to remove some of the base camps as well to reduce the number of enemies in the area.
You will have enough allies to spread them over the map so don't cluster them all in one space.
2
Once you've taken over the strongholds, Monica and her allies will appear on the northwestern side of the map! Send an ally in the area to that side. Keep a set on the eastern side.
3 A Cavalier and their allies will also begin to approach your strongholds. We do recommend using the allies not in combat to take them on. .
4
Not too long after, Petra and her allies will appear on the Southeastern side of the map. Your allies should be ready to intercept her. If you chose to recruit her, this will be your chance!
It's recommended you keep at least one controllable character in each area.
5
Split your allies to take on Monica and Petra. If the Cavalier is still up, leave at least one ally on them. Once you've defeated Monica and recruited Petra, Count Bergliez will make his appearance, along with a large number of soldiers.
6
Despite these large numbers, your focus wiill be to the southeast, where you will need to defeat 3 generals with Holst's help. Do not send all your allies to the southeast though as you will need allies to the west and in the center.
7
Alois and Jeralt will open the gates, giving you access to them. Defeat them as quickly as you can!
8
At this point, Count Bergliez will begin heading towards the Fortress of the Plains. Even if you're not there, as long as an ally is in the area he will be lured towards the Fortress. Once he's locked in, a side mission will begin.
Send any allies not fighting Alois and Jeralt to deal with the Brawler heading to your strongholds.
9
Once you have defeated all current enemies and locked the Count in the fortress, Byleth will appear. You'll need to do the same and lure them into another fortress.
10
With everyone locked up, all that's left is to face Caspar in the remaining sealed stronghold. Order an All-Out Offensive to make it quick!
Do not finish your resource. There are two more fights after this.
11
The Count will manage to leave the stronghold. Chase him down and order another All-Out Offensive. Once beaten, a cutscene will play before the final battle!
12
Upon regaining control of Shez, run towards Byleth. They will escape and you'll need to take them down. Defeating them will end the Quest.
