Go To


Warren's used to planting arrows in things on his own.

He's told Lyra just as much, and he proved it here. Man was a beast, charging ahead and taking down many foes before the party even caught up!

Chapter 21 - Wyvern's Dale: Finished.

Base: There are no new conversations to be had as this chapter, and How's Everyone yields only a blunt sword, a relatively useless find. Inventory wise, everyone is equipped with some better weapons, in preparation for the more dangerous foes who are to come.

Marth: Sneaks up the mountain pass, heading straight into the uneven terrain to visit Anna, buying out her wares (three of every stat booster, including arms scrolls), and then visiting the village and gaining the Starlight tome from a thoroughly fucked up Michalis. Not sure how I'm gonna use this, since I've only got archers, but maybe I could reclass Robert for a map, since he has the best magic of the army.

Warren: Stormed ahead of the main party through the central mountain passage, slaughtering a fair number of foes on his way to weaken the enemy front and intercept the thieves. His efforts weren't necessary, but it was still helpful to have the foes concentrated nearby as the party marched in and picked them off with ease.

Robert & Jeorge: Headed north and picked off the thieves from behind, tailing them through the mountains and finishing them off before they finished their crossing. They then rejoined with the party after everything was said and done.

Lyra & Wolf: Headed through the main mountain pass alongside the main army, and broke off to deal with a pair of sneaky meteor sorcerers and the boss. Lyra killed the nearest one, just around the mountain bend, while Wolf rode further to kill the second one as well as the boss.

Everyone Else: Pushed through the central pass, finishing off the foes who came to battle Warren, and finishing his push once he grew too tired to continue the advance on his own. Ymir guest starred for this chapter, and joined in this group, helping them fight a bit, though his assistance was less needed given the size of the army.

Arena: Abused a bit, but not too much, since I didn't want to spend forever buying vulneraries when normal training actually works fairly well in this game, even with an army this size. I got everyone who wasn't level 15 up to that point, and then just had Marth seize.

Afterwards: Gotoh explains the purpose of the Dragon's Altar, and how Medeus used it as a base of operations when he formed the kingdom of Dolhr to wipe out humanity. After some thought, Gotoh figures out that Gharnef wishes to use the life force of the clerics in order to revive Medeus as a Shadow Dragon. After that, Lyra apologizes for jumping to conclusions upon seeing Ymir, and he offers her an animal skin cap, which I accept to wear for now.

Up Next: Dragon's Altar, where we shall slay Gharnef for good, and attempt to prevent the revival of Medeus.

If you brought Minerva and had her perch on the village before Marth visits it, it activates a scene where she basically convinces Michalis to live. And then he joins you at the end of the chapter.

...Yeah, it is probably for the better that you missed this one. It doesn't really fit the story too well.

Michalis does not deserve such good treatment.

Oh, didn't know about that. I remember hearing about Michalis joining, but figured he just comes back due to some other thing. Still, that seems a bit random, though I guess it makes sense; Michalis finds and saves Minerva when she is near death, and later she finds him and talks him into living. Narratively works, but is a bit odd nonetheless.
