Background

The Sacred Stones that defeated the Demon King radiate a constant and dazzling light. The Sacred Stones are the only power against the dark, the last hope of humanity. It is only natural that evil would seek to destroy the Sacred Stones... There can be no other force behind this attempt to gain the stones. A childhood friend appears before Ephraim.

Tips

• Send a strong axe user, preferably Ross as a berserker, across the river to the north where you start. Have him stay in either the woods or in the mountains near the two forts.
• Send a strong magic user to take out the mages and sage in the island.
• Have a flying unit go take out the heroes to the east of the start point. Preferably a flying unit that can use swords.
• Have your unit with the highest avoid, probably Joshua, take out the druids near Lyon
• Keep a healer near whoever is attacking Lyon. Try to use a unit that has enough avoid to dodge Lyon's attack instead of someone with high resistance, since they are usually magic users and Lyon has higher resistance than defense.

Steal

The beserker north of your starting position has a dragonshield.

One of the Valkyries to the west has an elixir.

Extras

• Just as in Victims of War, rescuing all of the river people gets you a reward. In this case it is a Rescue Staff.
