After his father's death places the mantle of leadership on his young shoulders, Ike agrees to continue as Elincia's escort. The company heads now for the Begnion Empire, the oldest and largest nation on the continent of Tellius. As Crimea is a former fiefdom of Begnion, the princess turns to them for succor, much as a scared child returns to a parent. Many in Tellius believe that without Begnion's might and influence, Crimea's reconstruction will be nigh impossible. However, Begnion and Gallia have no diplomatic ties and are further separated by an impassable mountain range. So the company is forced to return to Crimea, where they hope to locate a ship to carry them to Begnion. Accompanied by Ranulf, the warrior who has volunteered to guide them, the company leaves Castle Gallia behind. With heavy hearts and wounded spirits, they begin the long march back to Crimea.

Information

Prisoner Release is chapter 10 in the game Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. There are two ways to complete this level, go into stealth and avoid getting seen by the patrolling guards or just go through killing the enemy units like normal. The first of the two options gives a lot of bonus experience, while the second gives about the same amount of experience, but in the form of battles instead.

Recruitable Units

Break open the jail cells and talk to the units with the appropriate character (listed below), all of them except Sephiran will turn into Ally Units, if they survive the chapter then they will be recruited next chapter

• Sephiran, talk with Ike
• Nephenee talk with Ike
• Brom, talk with Ike
• Kieran, talk with Oscar or don't talk to him at all and just open the cell.

Enemy Reinforcements

• 1 knight, 2 myrmidon, and 1 archer appear behind where you start.
• 2 knights, 1 mage, and 1 myrmidon appear at the right.
• 3 soldiers, 2 knights, and 1 halberdier appear at the top.

Strategies

For Bonus Experience

For the loads of possible bonus experience, you must go throughout the whole chapter without being spotted at all.  First of all, avoid the sight of the guards completely, a task easier for just one or two people. Secondly, if you open any of the doors, the guards will notice and send out reinforcements, thus you lose the bonus experience. However, not opening doors will result in you not recruiting Kierian, Brom and Nephenee.

Another tip for bonus experience is to try to have every other teammate escape before Ike, thus gaining more bonus experience.

Turn by turn walkthroughs for this chapter exist, such as the one in this FAQ.

For Recruits and Battle Experience

I would strongly suggest splitting your team into two groups. The first group should consist of Ike, Oscar, Volke, a healer, and a mage. This group will be running around the stage, recruiting new members and holding off the main group of enemy reinforcements. The second group should go all the way up from where the starting position is. Have the other sage and the other healer be protected by the other team members. This team will be defeating enemies that come in from the staircase, then joining up with the other group to defeat the boss and escape.

Recruiting Characters

It is unnecesary to talk to any of the characters you wish to recruit. All you need to do is open the doors.
