	Objectives
*	We recommend bringing a pair of Sword-wielders, Bow-wielders, and Axe-wielders for this quest. This map also has terrain that can deal damage to your grounded units. Having a flying unit such as Caspar will help avoid unnecessary damage.
1	Seize the strongholds and defeat both enemy armies' frontline forces! Order your controlled units to seize the five strongholds in the map. Assign the AI-controlled units to guard the two strongholds.
2	Defeat Flayn! Once Flayn appears on the top-left corner, use the controlled unit nearby to defeat her. You can also assign two AI-controlled units to help out.
3	Defeat Felix! Felix will appear near the eastern ally stronghold. Assign a controlled unit to stop him from going to the stronghold.
*	Optional: Move the rock to create a path You can move the rock on the center of the map to create a path to one of the enemy stronghold. However, doing so spawns enemies if you move it too early.
4	Defeat Sylvain! Sylvain will appear on the same area where you have defeated Felix. Use your controlled unit to defeat him.
5	Seize the strongholds and defeat both enemy armies' rear guards! Assign your controlled units to seize the three enemy strongholds on the map. Do this quickly as Claude will send in Alliance reinforcements in the center of the map to seize the ally strongholds.
6	Side Mission: Defeat the Alliance Army reinforcements! Six Alliance enemies will appear on the center of the map. Assign AI-controlled units to defeat them and use the remaining controlled units to defend the strongholds near the area where they appeared. Use your controlled unit to take down the remaining strongholds.
7	Defeat Dedue! Assign the controlled unit on the top part of the map to defeat Dedue. You can use this time to defeat the remaining Alliance Army reinforcements to complete the side mission.
8	Defeat Hilda! Hilda will appear at the same on the bottom-left corner of the map. You can use Shadow Slide to teleport Shez near the ally stronghold to defeat her. If you have selected the Decimate Alliance Snipers strategy, you can activate it at this time to remove snipers in the area. Do not move your controlled unit yet after defeating Hilda.
9	Defeat Claude! Claude will appear on the same area where you have defeated Hilda. Use Shez or a controlled unit with an advantage against him to defeat him.
10	Defeat Seteth! Seteth will appear near the center of the map after you defeat Dedue. Assign a bow-wielding controlled unit on the top part of the map to defeat him.
11	Defeat Dimitri! Dimitri will appear from the enemy stronghold on the top-right corner of the map. Assign controlled units nearby to stop him from heading down to seize the ally strongholds. Use the other controlled units to seize the remaining strongholds to complete the side mission.
12	Defeat Byleth once and for all! Byleth will appear in the area where you defeated Dimitri. Assign an All-Out Offensive to order all units to overwhelm Byleth and finish the battle.
