This chapter is not too difficult, with reinforcements only appearing once, and you should be quite far off from them when they appear. You need to bring Chad and Astore along. Basically, your army is split into two groups. The one on the left is your main group. Just charge forward with Lugh to clear the path. When the path is cleared, make Alen and Lance charge forward to take care of the Warrior and Fighters. Make Chad open all the chests on the left.
Your second group has an easier task. Basically, make someone kill the Fighter with a Killer Axe first. This isn't too difficult. The Sniper behind the broken wall poses a slight problem. Kill him off with a long-range unit first, then break the wall. Kill the priests and, while doing so, make Astore open all the chests on the right. When Cath appears, make Roy go up to her and Talk. If you have at least one use of the Unlock stave left, use it to open the door to the throne room. Remember to Talk to Raigh, as he is an extremely good character. Just make Lugh, Raigh, and Lilina kill Aine, who is a Manakete with high defense and low Resistance. You will have to be quick because of the Turn Limit to enter Chapter 12x. When all this is done, conquer the throne with Roy.
The boss can only be reasonably damaged with a legendary weapon, a magic tome, or the wyrmslayer. Because of his high evasion and the turn requirement, it is not recomended to use mages, , even with fire's enormous hit rate. It is also somewhat unlikely you will have a character that can use the Durandal because of the S-rank requirement. You should instead bring Rutger and/or Echidna (if you went A-route) to this map and have them attack the boss with the wyrmslayer.
