CappnRob Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I've gotten it before but this most recent playthrough I just couldn't punch through Phillip's wall of armors fast enough to beat up Bordeaux in time. It always seems like a crapshoot, does anyone have any actual strategies for getting to Herhein by turn 9/10? (Damn those stupid cliffs that force you to waste movement going around them to reach the armors, too. Bah!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yojinbo Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Levin can easily reach the village with Sylvia's help. Just ignore the other villages and you should not have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CappnRob Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Yeah, but if Levin appears after turn 10 (ie subduing Herhein after then), he won't be able to reach the village in time to get the bandit (unless I guess he gets a lucky crit or continue kicks in).

Valkama Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) You have the Seize Herhein by turn 12 as the village burns at the end of turn 15 and Lewyn barely gets there in time to finish the bandit with a skill proc. You could easily do this by going around the top rather than slowly baiting away enemies. You shouldn't be seeing too much enemy phase combat so your units should be fine for the most part.

Levin's Scarf Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Have the rest of your units deal with Phillip's goons. Send Sigurd to deal with Bordeaux. After that just send Lewyn to the village with the help of Sylvia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionordeQuester Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Here you go; here's a great guide for how it's done. Get Hero Axe!Lex, Light Sword!Ethlin, and Killer Bow!Midir to help Cuan kill Elliot, and follow this up until about 8m41s, and DO NOT KILL the northern ballistae man like the TAS does. It only does that for the sake of actually killing Philip for his Return Ring; you don't need it! You can effectively skip Philip and his troop entirely, leaving only Bordeaux and his goons to deal with. Don't try to Javelin duel Bordeaux like the TAS does; just kill one of his men, and beat him up with the Silver Sword; you should have about 4 turns to do that! Then go and rescue the Bargain Ring village from there. That's easy enough, right? And yes, it's easily replicable in a casual playthrough: Edited December 23, 2016 by FionordeQuester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CappnRob Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 ..... goddamn using Finn to prayer-tank the Herhein knights was brilliant. I wish I thought of that, pffffft. Takes the whole troop out in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
