• Enemy reinforcements:
- Turn 10: Cath and one thief from the stairs
- Turn 15 to 18, only in Hard mode from the area Oujay and the others started in:
  1 Soldier, Archer, and Mercenary.
- Turn 16 and 17:
  2 Soldiers from the bottom-left.
  1 Archer and 1 Mercenary from where the thieves came from.
- Turn 18 and 19:
  1 Soldier and 1 Knight from the bottom-left.
  1 Archer and 1 Mercenary from where the thieves came from.

• New characters:
- Lilina, Astol, Wendy, Barth, Oujay, Cath (she doesn't join now).

• Strategy for normal mode:
First of all, be very careful with Lilina. Move her one space to the left and then to the right on the following turn so that the archer outside her cell can't attack her. She'll die in two hits and has neither Vulneraries nor magic to attack with, and she'll be a very strong mage if you train her. Cath appears again if you didn't kill her in Chapter 6; if you talked to her then and again now with Roy, in Chapter 12 she'll join you (if you talk to her one last time). If you do talk to her in this chapter, she won't steal the treasures.

Furthermore, Barth, Wendy, and Oujay will appear in the upper room on turn 6. Try to have Barth up in front because he has the most defense, and Oujay can kill the enemies. You can get them out of the room if you have them break the cracked wall by attacking it as if it were any other enemy. And try not to put Wendy out in front; have her gain EXP by killing enemies with low HP, but she's very weak (but she'll become a great character along with Oujay, of course if you plan to use them, remember that they start at a low level and they'll need special care, but you'll find Oujay is very and more valuable later on.)

Make sure you bring Door Keys and Chest Keys, or Chad or the thief who joins at the start of the chapter. The thieves that arrive will start to take the treasures around turns 13 or 14. If you can't kill them try to block the room with the first 4 treasures, as they'll go there first if you haven't already taken the treasures.

Ultimately, this is a map that takes a little while to finish. Use your cavaliers and other units with high movement if you want to finish fast. With them, you can carry and quickly move your units such as Bors using the Rescue command if you put your horseback units alongside your other units, though you can only rescue units that have lower Constitution than the unit you are using to do the rescuing. By the way, if you put Bors, Barth and Wendy around an enemy in the shape of a triangle you can do a guaranteed critical, but it's more of a curiosity than anything useful... because with their low movement it's a little difficult to do without losing time or placing one of them in danger.

Boss Data Items

Leygance
General of Level 1
"A Ostian knight leading the rebellion."
- Steel Lance

Don't attack him with your Cavaliers or Fighters or other weak units. As you can see, he has high defense and
can cause a lot of damage. Only attack him with Armorslayers (Oujay has one) or Lugh if he's a high level.

• Strategy for Hard mode:
Be very careful with the Knight with the Horseslayer, bring your two thieves to quickly grab the treasure or try to steal the lockpicks of the enemy thieves, so you can take your time to open the chests to the left of the boss. Try to always keep a strong unit up front and when you get close to the rooms where the treasures are, don't enter and instead try to kill the mages that are on the other side; they can cause more damage and problems than the other enemies.
