Side Objectives ・ Seize the strongholds to stop the ballistae! ・ Defeat the enemy reinforcements! ・ Defeat the Dark Knight and their allies targeting the detached force! ・ Seize all the strongholds! |
|
| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| * | We recommend bringing a pair of Sword-wielders, Axe-wielders, and Gauntlet-wielders for this quest. You'll also have one party member on the southeast of the map separated from the rest of the team (which will start from the northeast.) We recommend having Edelgard as the solo unit due to her natural bulk. |
| 1 |  Seize the strongholds and advance to the inner ward! When the battle starts the team won't have a lot of room to go to, so just seize the strongholds available to you as you move towards the inner ward. |
| 2 |  Upon reaching the inner wards, you'll be able to initiate the Wall-Mounted Catapults strategy giving your team sa artillery on your side. |
| 3 |  Defeat the Dark Bishops to bring down the Wall of Darkness! You'll then learn that the next barriers will be walls of Dark Magic. You'll have to take down the Dark Bishops on both corners of the map to open the path. While you're at it, take down the strongholds that house the ballistae to have a safer advance. |
| 4 |  Defeat Dolfonos and their allies! With the Dark Bishops out of the way, Dolfonos and their allies will reveal themselves near the middle of the map. Your team may converge on to their location to take them out. |
| 5 | As you form your attack, the enemy will activate a magical construct called a Viskam. You'll have to send over your detached unit to disable the controls to keep your team safe. This is now the chance for your unit on the southwest of the map to make their advance. This will also be your chance to initiate the Infiltration Strategy |
| 6 | Use the detached force to disable the controls and stop the Viskam! It is a straightforward path for your detached unit so press forward and deactivate each switch at both strongholds you'll come across. Make sure that the rest of the map is still secured by the rest of your team. |
| 7 |  Defeat Kronya! Speaking of the rest of the map, Kronya would have appeared near the middle of the map. Keep her occupied with your strongest units while you secure the rest of the map. Defeating her will open up the path to reunite you with your detached unit. |
| 8 |  Defeat Viscount Fenja and their allies, and advance on the Former Duke Aegir! Be ready to move your troops to reunite with your detached unit as Viscount Fenja will appear on the west part of the map. An all-out offensive will be an easy way to send all your troops over. |
| 9 | With the momentum in your favor, press on to corner the former Duke. Don't be concerned with the Fire Orbs as Count Hevring will soon arrive with back-up. |
| 10 |  Duke Aegir will try to call for his own back up, but with most of the strongholds occupied, it shouldn't be too hard to defeat any stragglers. Warp to any nearby stronghold to pick off stray enemies. |
