Walkthrough

1
You'll start on a map with Owain in the center. Your main priority is to get to him quickly with either Chrom or Lissa to recruit him. He's level 10 as a Myrmidon and can hold his own for a bit, but he'll get overwhelmed if left alone for too long.
2
There are NPC Sages scattered around the map. Enemies will target them, and it's very difficult to save them all. The Assassin on the west side of the map will immediately move to kill the Sage near him at the start of the enemy turn.
3
It's recommended to try and save at least one Sage. The ones to the south and southwest are the easiest to reach. Any character can talk to them to receive an item, and they'll also heal your units with Physic if they're able.
4
You can split your forces. Send one group west and another south. Once they've dealt with nearby threats, they can reunite and head southwest towards the boss.
5
Be aware of the boss, Gecko the Assassin (Level 10). He has the Vantage and Pass skills. Vantage means he attacks first when his HP is low, and Pass lets him move through your units. He will also move if you enter his attack range, so plan your approach carefully.
6
There are other advanced class enemies on the map. Take a moment to survey the map and identify their positions before advancing to avoid taking heavy damage.
7
Consider a defensive strategy. Moving forward cautiously to protect the Sages can be effective. Remember to pair up your units to maximize their combat effectiveness and survivability.

Class: Assassin
Level: 10

Tips
