Strategy:
Focus on obtaining Chain Armour and the 'Matou' Claw (+24 Strength) from the Amazon. Persuasion is ideal for acquiring both the Claw and her Chain Armour, though difficult. Save-and-reload is an alternative for the Claw but challenging. Move your troops towards the center dry land, coordinating movement ranges to avoid blocking fighters. Enemies are level 6, except the boss at level 7. Watch out for Vice potentially killing the Amazon.
To bide time or collect items, surround the enemy Knight with four characters. Your healers will keep them alive. This also grants Kachua EXP. Heal the boss if his HP drops too low. If no one is injured, attack non-adjacent characters to give Kachua healing targets.
While surrounding the boss, aim to level up characters close to level 7 (80+ EXP) by attacking the Knight. Deal the final blow with a low-EXP character (around 25~) to minimize wastage. Aim for Kachua to gain close to 17 EXP per heal by wounding your own level 7 characters.
