• New characters:
- Natasha, Joshua.

• Strategy:
Pretty easy, the enemies on the left side of the map won’t attack you, unless you enter their attack range, so don’t worry about them, you can kill them once you eliminate the center enemies. This chapter’s objective is to kill the knight in the upper right side, so before killing him, you can visit the towns, the arena and the shops.

The hardest part of the chapter is to get Joshua, in order to do so, place a character with high defense and HP on the forest near him, and Natasha behind him. Seth is the best option, but without weapon, otherwise you might kill Joshua, also Seth’s high speed will help him dodging the attacks of Joshua and any other near enemy. After his attack, make Natasha talk to him. Also note that Joshua won’t attack Natasha, so, unless there are more enemies near, you can go straight to Joshua, and talk to him without being attacked.

Watch out with the Bandits that appear in a few turns next to the towns, If you haven’t visited the towns already, they will destroy them! Hurry up! By the way, one of them has a character portrait, but won’t join you, is only that the programmers give him a unique portrait.

You can easily kill the boss with almost any character using the forest next to him (to have better evasion). A good sword-wielding character with the armor slayer, Ross (promoted), Garcia, Eirika with the rapier or Lute using magic are good options (Watch out with the counterattack if you attack from distance).

When moving in the continent's map, buy some Torches. They are only in this way (in the continent's map), because are useful for after.
