Chapter 7: The Shield of Thracia [Strategy Guide]

It is a summary of the event changes in each chapter and other questions that players with experience in the original may have. Chapter 7 is covered here.

Strategy Guide

About the Mercenary Squad (1)

  • If Shiva was captured and released in chapter 2x, the entire Mercenary Squad will become NPCs at the beginning of the chapter.
  • If Shiva has not been released, they will remain enemies.
  • I feel that it has acquired a new gameplay style where NPCs are used as walls to escape, but I have a feeling that those who try to capture Shiva in Chapter 2x will choose to fight without escaping even in Chapter 7.
  • I hope you enjoy the game as part of the atmosphere it creates.

About the Mercenary Squad (2)

  • If you did not go through Chapter 2x, Shiva will not appear here.
  • Other than Shiva, other mob swordsmen will appear and attack you as enemies.

About Fetra and her men

  • They appear as reinforcements in the enemy phase of the 1st turn.
  • Unlike the original Eisenau, you cannot block their appearance.

About Ishtore

  • He will remain on the map after giving instructions to Fetra.
  • He will not move from his position and will not attack if you are in his range.

Events

About Shiva

  • Shiva will get +1 movement when he joins your party.
  • If Shiva is an NPC at the beginning of the chapter, the conversation with Saffi will also change.
  • And there will be an additional dialogue in the conversation between Leif and Shiva after Shiva joins if at least one member of the mercenary group is still alive.
  • There is no survival benefit other than the dialogue, so there is no need to protect the Mercenary Squad.

Nanna becomes available for riding

If all of the following conditions are met, Nanna will become rideable when the chapter is ended.

  • Nanna has not changed her class and is not rideable.
  • Finn and Nanna are alive.
  • Finn and Nanna had a conversation in this chapter. (This conversation is only required in Classic mode.)

Also, if Finn returns in Chapter 4x and is unrideable, Finn will also become rideable.

If Finn has reappeared in Chapter 4x, he will be able to be ridden after the chapter is ended, even if he has not had the conversation between Finn and Nanna. (Only if all conditions other than talking with Finn are met.)
In casual mode, you will receive a horse even if Finn and Nanna have not had a conversation. (This is because Nanna may leave before you realize the conversation exists.)

List of Conversations

Below are the conversations that were added.

  • Saffi to Shiva (if Shiva is an NPC)
  • Leif to Shiva (occurs after the conversation between Saffi and Shiva)
  • Saffi to Leif (only if Saffi reappeared in this chapter)
  • Saffi to Lifis (only if Saffi reappeared in this chapter)

The following are existing conversations.

  • Saffi to Shiva (if Shiva is an enemy)
  • Finn to Leif (only if Finn reappeared in this chapter)
  • Nanna to Finn (only if Finn reappeared in this chapter)
