Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Advance up the map, prioritizing the physical damage units on the southern end before confronting the magic-damage units on the northern end.
  2. 2
    Defeat the General to the north, who is isolated and can be easily handled by a magic-user. Be aware that Generals and Wyvern Lords can use Spears.
  3. 3
    After the General is defeated, wait for the Berserker to the west and the Hero to the east to move, then engage and defeat them.
  4. 4
    Be cautious of the Great Knights to the north and the Bow Knights behind them. Play defensively until the Bow Knights are in range, then advance to defeat them, even if it provokes Wyvern Lords near Garon.
  5. 5
    Beware of the second Berserker to the north, who wields a Brave Axe and attacks twice.
  6. 6
    Avoid the Strategist in the northeastern corner, who possesses an “Entrap” rod and is protected by Dark Knights.
  7. 7
    When the Bow Knights and Wyvern Lords have moved, lure the Malig Knights from the northwestern corner with high Resistance units (Falcon Knights and Ninjas) and defeat them.
  8. 8
    When the Dark Knights advance, mark their range, form a defensive wall at the edge of their reach, and defeat them as they come into range, followed by their attendant Strategist.
  9. 9
    Engage the Berserker with ranged attacks. After defeating him, quickly switch to high Defense units or paired-up units to counter the three Great Knights that will be in range.
  10. 10
    Confront King Garon, who has high Defense and Resistance, a large Hit Point total, high Attack, and a range of up to three squares. He also has a good Critical rate and some Avoid.
  11. 11
    Defeat the Maid and the Sorcerer protecting Garon. The Maid provides healing, and the Sorcerer punishes low Resistance foes.
Tips
  • This is the last battle before the Endgame, and the game will not save after this point. All level ups, experience points, and supports gained will not be retained. Therefore, complete the objectives swiftly.
  • King Garon's attacks can deal halved damage from almost all weapon types. This is factored into the combat forecast.
  • Skills like Dragon Fang (only the third hit will deal damage), Astra, Lethality, and others are ineffective against Garon.
  • If you cannot defeat Garon in one turn, prioritize taking out the Maid to prevent Garon from being healed.
