  = In Hard Mode only.

Chapter's objective: Place Eliwood where Georg is.

• Village/Items:

  A. Elixir x 4
    (the Druid that becomes Shaman in hard mode has a Vulnerary in said mode)
    (the Warrior that becomes Fighter in hard mode drops nothing in said mode)

  B. Rapier
  - Tomahawk (Georg)
- Steal:
  C. Pure water (drops in hard mode)
  D. Vulnerary (drops in hard mode)

• Reinforcements:
- None.

• New Characters:
- None.

• Augury:
"So much heat... Burning... A cave of lava? There is... It radiates immense power.
The guardians of the sword... Don't anger them. Only Lord Eliwood and...a few others can enter the cave.
But who to take? Strong allies, those who can attack from a distance. Healing magic... One who wields Physic..."

• Strategy:
You can only take 5 units with you: 2 from the left, 2 from the right and Eliwood in the middle. Take units with good resistance to the left and units with good defense to the right, and a healer for each side.
The lava tiles can help you weakening the enemies, but they can harm you too, beware of them; they're the squares with orange marks. If a unit (any unit) stays on one of them, they'll suffer 10 damage at the turn's end. Each tile can be disabled by placing a thief or an assassin on them. Try to avoid them, but weirdly enough, mounted units can move after attacking on one of those tiles (but just as if they had visited a house or used an item, using the remaining movement).

Remember that Vulneraries and Elixirs will be very helpful, allowing you to stop taking care with your healers in each side with so few units without using the Physic staff from far away for minimal damage.

If you can avoid him all the better, he is extremely powerful. To avoid him, attract him (he moves) by placing somebody behind a wall, then take the place where Georg was standing, since the mission's goal isn't to kill all enemies but to take that place.
But if you want to take the challenge: Raven or guy or any other REALLY good sword-user with a strong weapon can take care of him, but do remember to heal any damage. Specially because he moves and can attack from the other side of the wall.

• Strategy for Eliwood Hard Mode:
