Battle and Strategy Guide
Command units in pairs to isolate and defeat an enemy

In the first area, there will be two enemies. Command units in pairs to eliminate both at the same time. Use active skills if needed.
Capture towers

After clearing an area, approach and capture the tower nearby. This will lower the drawbridge.
Command units altogether to isolate and defeat an enemy

After crossing the bridge, you will reach the second area. Command all DPS units to target one enemy at a time starting from the top. Place Andrias and Fredret in another spot to damage the target. Preferably at the rear in order to gain critical bonus damage.
Examine the treasure chest

Don’t leave the second area and go southeast. Locate a treasure chest and open it.
Destroy the barricades

After the treasure chest, return to the barricades and destroy them.
Command the Izelair to bait three enemies

When you enter the third area, move Izelair east to gain attention from three enemies. Again, place Andrias and Fredret behind each enemy while Iscarion hits the third one from a distance.
Use the Izelair to provoke enemies again

Before you enter the fourth and final area, heal units first and let their active skills be ready. In the same manner, let Izelair go first and initiate an aggro from the enemy units.
Use skills like Fantail Formation to deal AoE damage

Once enemy units are lumped near each other, use AoE active skills like Iscarion’s Fantail Damage to deal area damage in an area over time. Let Andrias and Fredret finish off the normal enemy units first before taking down Goffren.
Utilize skills like Shield Charge to interrupt Goffren’s skills

Make use of skills like Shield Charge to stun and interrupt upcoming boss skills.
Summon Bahamut to finish off the remaining enemies
If you’re out of potions and about to lose units, summon Bahamut to finish off the last group of enemies, including the boss.
