The Remire Calamity Strategy
1) Position your units next to burning tiles
All of the rampaging villagers are melee units and can only attack adjacent targets. Move your units out and cover the neutral tiles next to the burning ones. The enemies will take constant damage each turn from the fire, making them easier to take out.
Pick off the weakened foes using ranged characters if they are still standing.
2) Do not focus too much on saving the villagers
You will fail the mission if all of your units or Jeralt fall in battle. Instead of straying too far on the edges of the screen to save the villagers, try to traverse south to reach the enemy commander.
If you do manage to save all villagers, you will earn an extra large bullion as a reward.
Note that the Death Knight and his troops will appear in the leftmost corner of the map after Solon reveals himself. Your units are likely to die if they strayed too far west once the Death Knight catches up with them.
3) Mages and archers are effective against the enemies
The rampaging villagers are weak to offensive spells, so having your mages unload on them will take them out quickly. Archers will also be very helpful in this mission.
4) Ignore the Death Knight when he appears
The Death Knight is a very strong foe but is not relevant to the mission. You can choose to ignore him and focus on approaching Solon when he reveals himself.
A dark seal can be obtained from Death Knight by defeating him or stealing it from him.
5) Approach Solon as a group
Solon will pepper you with magic as you try to get close to him. He will also have armored knights come to his aid. Let Byleth lead the team in cleaning up the remaining rampaging villagers. You should then deal with the armored knights with Byleth and ranged characters so you can engage Solon uninterrupted.
Keeping your team together grants you increased hit and avoidance when engaging the enemies.
6) Save your combat arts for Solon
Solon has low physical defense, so attacking him with physical combat arts is recommended. You can also use archers to whittle down his HP until he is defeated.

do i have to kill the Mysterious Soldiers? i did it anyway… no loose ends >:D
The upper left chest gives Giant Shell, a permanent def+2 boost (by the time my unit with locktouch got there the mission was all but over; send a flyer with a chest key if possible).
The lower chest gives a horseslayer (lance eff against cavalry) – it takes such a specific setup (for me, a newly minted wyvern rider with a chest key who could one-shot the armor with a Mace and Helm Splitter), that it’s not really worth your time since you can just buy the same weapon in the armory starting in this chp I think. Unless you’re an advanced player and enjoy the challenge, but in that case you should bring down Death Knight.
Thanks for these, Oberon!
Saving all the villagers earns you an Extra Large stack of gold.
Thank you, J!
