Saving of the Silver Maiden Strategies and Walkthrough

Recommended Strategies for Saving of the Silver Maiden

Saving of the Silver Maiden Objectives

Saving of the Silver Maiden Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	We recommend bringing a Thief/Assassin for this battle to unlock gates easily. A flying unit such as a Pegasus Knight or a Wyvern Rider is also recommended to avoid getting damaged by spiky traps. /td>
2	Disable the controls in the ramparts and open the main gate! Have a controllable unit seize one of the strongholds while you seize the other one. Then, disable the controls in each stronghold to open the main gate.
3	Aid and recruit Shamir! Have a few units guard Shamir as soon as the gates open. Don't forget to initiate the strategy 'Persuade Shamir' if you want her in your team.
4	Don't let the Messengers reach their destination! Wait for the Messengers to reach the southern area of the map, then take down both at once.
5	Disable the controls in the city streets and open the rampart doors! If you have a thief or assassin in your team, have them open the rampart doors and go straight to the stronghold while avoiding the spiky traps. If you have neither of the classes, follow the western path to get to the controls. We recommend using a flying unit to avoid getting damaged by the spikes. If you don't have a flying unit, just cross the traps as fast as you can and heal if it brought your health down below 50%.
6	Disable the controls in the ramparts and open the central gate! Have half of your team, preferably with a thief or an assassin, seize the western stronghold while the other half seize the eastern one. After capturing the stronghold, have the thief/assassin open the chest nearby. If you want to get to the stronghold quickly, remember that you can use Shez's warp to teleport to an allied stronghold.
7	Seize the strongholds and stop the ballistae and traps! Have two flying units or your strongest units seize the strongholds on the northeastern and northwestern part of the map.
8	Defeat Gwendal and aid Catherine! Launch an All Out Offensive on Gwendal. Catherine is playable after saving her
9	Defeat Yuri! / Defeat and recruit Yuri! Launch an All Out Offensive on Yuri and defeat him to successfully recruit one of the Ashen Wolves.
10	Defeat Linhardt and Count Hevring! As Shez, warp to one of the western strongholds and defeat Linhardt and his allies there.
11	Defend the strongholds around the main hall and prevent the enemy invasion! After your allies defeat Yuri, divide them into 4 groups that will defend each stronghold. As Shez, warp to where Count Hevring is and defeat him.
12	Defeat Ferdinand! Order the nearest units to Ferdinand to defeat him.
13	Defeat Edelgard and defend Arianrhod to the last! Go to Edelgard and defeat her. Watch an epic cutscene afterwards!
