	Objectives
1	Defeat the Bow Knight and quickly aid Hanneman! In addition to sending units to protect Hanneman, make sure to send at least one unit each to all available strongholds, particularly those encircled above. The encircled Strongholds will also be the location of Citizens you'll need to rescue.
2	Defeat Pallardó and aid Manuela! Send all available units to fight Pallardó and a few Bow Knights. Don't send units that are still escorting Citizens.
3	Defeat the real Pallardó! Let the real Pallardó run from you until you reach the drawbridge area, which is encircled above. Defeat him here then bring the drawbridge down. Bringing this down gives you an additional route and also makes it easier for Dorothea to get back to the Evacuation Shelter later on.
4	Defeat Metodey! Lead Metodey into the nearest Stronghold. At this point, you should have been able to build up your Warrior Gauge. Use your special attack to immediately clear a Stronghold and beat Metodey.
5	While fighting Metodey, split your units and send at least one to each of the new Strongholds. Citizens that you'll need to protect will appear nearby.
6	Defeat the demonic beast! If you've already taken the Strongholds, you can send all units except for a single controllable one to attack the demonic beast.
7	Escort Dorothea to the Evacuation Shelter and recruit them! Dorothea will get poisoned. If you recruit her, use the lone controllable unit to guard her as she makes her way back. Time is of the essence so don't switch to any other unit while escorting her. Get ahead of her and clear the way of enemies to make the path safer.
8	Once Dorothea's safe, send the remaining unit to the Demonic Beast. Unleash all your attacks to beat it.
9	Defeat Solon! Instead of sending all your units to Solon, send one to each of the encircled areas in the map. You'll need to defeat Mages that appear here to reach Solon since he'll be blocked off by a wall. Leave the rest of the units near the wall.
10	Defeat the Mysterious Mages to bring down the Wall of Darkness! Once you defeat the Mages, switch to your units near Solon and beat him. He'll cast a number of spells but can be easily overwhelmed.
