Escape to Freedom



The Lycia Alliance Army took in Elphin as a tactician. Following his advice, Roy led his forces south toward the isle of Caledonia. Caledonia was one of the three largest islands of the Western Isles. The other two were Fibernia and Dhia. Located on Caledonia was Castle Idina. Here, men from all over the Isles were rounded up and locked in prison cells to be sent to Mt Ebrakhm, the Mines of Death. When Roy arrived at Castle Idina, the situation was already looking grim...

Strategy
This chapter isn't too hard. Just watch out for the Ballistaes, though. You will appear from the Northeast with Elphin joining you at the beginning. Trust me, Elphin is better than Lalum, since he has a 55% Resistance growth rate, even if his Support options are not good. Send Clarine and Rutger(With A Rank Support) to the Northwest and clear out the enemies there. Use the Hero Crest you got earlier to promote Rutger before this. Then, send a couple of competent units (Like Alan and Lance to the South, clearing the path for everyone else. When Geese appears, recruit him with Roy quickly, or else he will steal EXP. He will only gain EXP after being recruited. When Bartre appears, he will charge towards Morgan. Watch out for reinforcements flooding out of the castle. Make sure to recruit Bartre for that nice Brave Axe he wields. Morgan doesn't pose as a really big problem because of his low Resistance. You will be able to take him out relatively quickly. If you want to train Elphin, now is the time to do it. Basically, keep making a unit end his turn repeatedly, then make Elphin Sing for that unit for 10 EXP each time. This will hurt your Tactics rank, though.
