Strategy

Here’s your starting location:

Doesn’t really matter how you place your units. I suggest, though, to bring both Yumina and Malliesia, so you can split your team in two with healing support for both groups.

Before starting with the guide for this chapter, let’s talk a bit about the star orb fragments. There are 12 of them and you already got 2, Tauro and Gemini, from the bosses at chapters 3 and 5 respectively. You need to get all 12 of them to fight the game’s true final boss. The first two, you couldn’t miss, but with some others you need to be careful not to miss them. In this chapter, you find 3 of them, the boss has one, Samto has one and the other is in a chest.

The first thing you should do is lure the mage with Elfire and once he’s dead, have your thief go get the chests, while an archer kills the bishops at the north eastern part of the map. Give both the thief and the archer vulneraries, as one of the bishops has a worm spell. For this job, Julian and Kashim are the suggested units. While this happens, the rest of your team fights against the armors at the west.

At turn 3, reinforcements will start appearing and this is where your team divides. Some of your units will head towards the throne (Marth, someone with the armor killer, Linda and/or Yubello and a healer, of course) while the rest of them lure the reinforcements so Julian can get out of the chest area and run north.

Before opening the door leading to the throne, make sure Oguma or Sheeda are near it so they are able to recruit Samto as soon as you open the door, as you don’t want to take the risk of receiving a critical of his Kill sword.

Finally, as you kill the armor knights near the throne, make use of the narrow corridors when fighting the enemy reinforcements, that way, even though there are a lot of enemies, only a few will be able to attack.

Let me remind you that by the end of the chapter, you should have 5 orb fragments.
