Battle Stage
When you load into the map, you’ll be on the west side of the area. This map is pretty straight forward as you’ll just need to follow the road to the Command Post in the east, taking out the enemies and liberating Merietra Town along the way. North of the town, you’ll also find some ruins! As you progress through the map, Galadmir will appear in each of the Watchtower to provide ranged support as you go! If you have a unit that has Eltolinde in it and you get close to Galadmir, she will hide until you leave, meaning she won’t support you as she doesn’t want to be seen by Eltolinde!
Be on the lookout for shiny objects on the ground throughout the battle stage. You’ll be able to receive the following items: Defensive Draught, Hallowed Corne Ash and Mantlet Kit.
