The Pacification of Hrym Walkthrough

Objectives
* We recommend bringing in a pair of Sword-wielders, Lance-wielders, Bow-wielders, and Gauntlet-wielders for this quest.
1
Defeat the Wyvern Lord and rescue Hanneman!

Your team starts at the southeast corner of the map. Have most of your troops seize the strongholds to the west, while having at least 2 troops going straight for Leonie's rescue. We recommend having a bow knight such as Bernadetta head straight for the Wyvern Lord gatekeeper.
2 Soon after the quest starts, Thieves will appear targeting innocent citizens. Make sure to deal with them accordingly. With the chaos quelled, continue moving north to rescue Hanneman. Taking out the Wyvern Lords in this area will allow you to progress further north.
3
Defeat Pallardo! / Defeat the real Pallardo!

After rescuing Hanneman, "Pallardo" will seemingly appear in the northwest corner of the map. You'll have to make your way to him and take him down.
4 A Thief will also appear smuggling some stolen goods. Have a mounted troop apprehend him before he makes his escape. This will also be your chance to initiate the Build Bridge strategy that will help you traverse the map a bit better.
5
After defeating Pallardo in the northwest stronghold, you'll learn that it was a double. The real Pallardo will reveal himself close to the center of the map and will try to make an escape. You can send a mounted unit to go after him, or warp to the nearby stronghold and apprehend him yourself!
6
Defeat Metodey!

With Pallardo out of the way, the northeast section of the map where Metoday is hiding will open up. Have your troops make their way there. Three more citizens will be found being harassed by Thieves. Take care of them while also setting up the positions to surround Metodey.
7 Defeat the Demonic Beast!

After rescuing the second batch of civilians, you should be in a good position to defeat Metodey. After he falls, a Demonic beast will appear in the middle of the battlefield. Before you send all of your troops to attack it, make sure you have a unit lower the drawbridge on the east side of the map for easier traversal.
8 Escort Leonie to the Evacuation Shelter and recruit them!

Leonie will notice that she's been poisoned, and Edelgard will ask to have her escorted to safety. This will be your chance to initiate the Persuade Leonie strategy. Note that this strategy only works if you did not kill Jeralt in Chapter 10: Shifting History.
9 Defeat Solon!

Once the Demonic Beast has been defeated, Solon will appear at the northern part of the map, revealing himself as the mastermind behind this attack. Send one of your troops towards Solon with the rest standing back. Solon will trap those who make it to the northern stronghold with dark magic so you'll need some troops on the outside to protect the evacuation shelter. You can also initiate the Rally the Vigilantes strategy to give the evacuation shelter a bit more protection.
10 Defeating Solon will end the quest, so if you're having trouble keeping the Evacuation center safe, you can also focus all of your attention to defeating Solon.
