Notes
- The enemies move in groups. Aside from the single enemy thief near the starting point, there are three groups of units: Kostas and two ruffians at the top, a group of two ruffians on the right, and another group of three on the left. If you aggro any enemy from a group, the rest of the group will also begin moving.
- Kostas' group will begin moving towards you once you defeat the other groups.
- Jeralt does not move until Kostas moves.
- If Jeralt's attack would kill Kostas, he will be left at 1 HP instead.
- Trade the weapons and items of the two lords that you don't plan on using to Byleth and the lord that you will use. They are enough to complete the chapter without any help from the other two lords.
