The Chase to Garreg Mach Walkthrough

Objectives
1
Defeat Duke Aegir to prevent them from reaching the evacuation point!

Have Shez chase down Duke Aegir since he is vulnerable to sword wielders. Duke Aegir is located directly below the map where the starting unit is positioned, so just go straight as soon as the battle begins.
2
Seize the Mountain Trailhead and blockade Duke Aegir's evacuation point!

Command units to defeat the gatekeepers down the 1st, 3rd, and 4th roads and seize the strongholds. Initiate the prompt to Light the Beacon when it appears to confuse the enemy forces and stop them from advancing.
3
Defeat Caspar and pursue Duke Aegir!

After defeating Duke Aegir the first time, Caspar will aid him and he will retreat. You will then have to defeat Caspar. After defeating Caspar, Duke Aegir will start advancing again. Head down the map to where Duke Aegir will be and defeat him once more.
4
Seize the stronghold to stop the ballistae!

Have a unit seize the central stronghold. Be sure to defeat the enemy with a key to be able to open the chest on the northeastern area of the map.
5
Defeat Count Bergliez!

Before Duke Aegir's HP runs out, he will be aided by Count Bergliez. Engage in battle with Count Bergliez. Count Hevring will also heal Count Bergliez after depleting his health. Defeat both of them to be able to open the next gate and continue advancing towards Duke Aegir.
6
Defeat Duke Aegir!
