Sands of Time
Game Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken Objective Protect the throne for 11 turns Units Allowed 18 Units Gained - Boss Denning

“Ninian is dead. Now, only Nergal's echoing laughter remains… On Hector's advice, the group heads toward Ostia. They are weary to the bone, and they need time to regroup. Ostia is the most heavily guarded fortress city in all of Lycia. No enemy should have been able to breach its walls.”
—Opening Narration

Sands of Time is Chapter 29 (31 in Hector's Story) of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken. To complete this chapter, you must survive for 11 turns. Along with the boss, Denning, there are many enemy Archers, Snipers, Knights, and Generals, as well as a few Shamans, a Druid with a Sleep Staff (in Eliwood's Story, there is also one with a Silence Staff), and a couple of Myrmidons and Swordmasters (though these sword users only appear in Hector's story). Many of the enemies also have poison weapons. There is a Secret Shop in this chapter that is only reachable by using a Warp Staff to get to a small patch of grass in the southern part of the map. There are no requirements to gain access to the side quest, which is highly recommended.
