Strategy
This chapter is easy to complete, yet difficult to do so pefectly. In normal difficulty, the Death Knight won't move, making the chest almost unaccesible except for flying units, as he will mostly kill anyone that enters his attack range with the support of his scort. On difficult, however, just as he appears, he starts charging towards Byleth, destrying anyone on his path. Jeralt will stay put till all citicens are either saved or killed, what will trigger his movement. The best thing to do is rush to help the furthest citicens as fast as possible with mounted units, keeping in mind the fire and the stairs. Even so, most likely at least one citizen will die, so it's advised to hurry.

If you are planning on getting both chest, be careful. While the first one is easily accesible after you dispatch the violent enemies, the furthee one is soon blocked by the death knight. The best strategies are either waiting for him to leave in your pursue, leaving the way free for a fast unit to make it, or to open the chest before he arrives at all.

The latter, while more succesfull, requires the movement ring and the Celerity tactic from Seiro's monks troop. Using celerity on a mounted unit, then expending all its movement and using it again will take the rider to the further stairs in two turn,giving it just enought time to cross before they fall to the death scythe, but be sure to bring a chest key with you.

In order to use celerity twice, its better to use the tactic as your first move on many units as possible, then move a faith user that has rescue and cast it to the troop with the monks as far as possible,moving it closer to the chest and giving it some extra spaces. Next move the chavalier and expend all its movement, but be sure its in reach of the tactic. Use the rest of your units to aid the poor villagers as they struggle,and next turn use celerity again on the chavalier, who will reach the end of the stairs most left. Now just move it as close to the chest as you can, but make sure you stay out of the knight's way. It's a good idea to use a unit with a bow to destroy the obstacle on the way and hurt the enemmy guarding the chest,as it is very diffucult to ORKO him at this point of the story.
