Greil is dead, Ike is the new commander, Shinon & Gathrie have left the company. As if things couldn't get worse, a Daien battalion has the castle they are waiting in surrounded.

The objective is to defend where Ike starts for 8 turns. This for me was the hardest battle of the game, even knowing what to do there's a bit of luck involved in winning. Titania gets a lot of use in this battle. If you have an opening kill the boss like I did for bonus XP, but if you can't get to him, it's alright.You can recruit a new character here, a mage named Illyana. I do like Illyana but you only have room to use so many characters. Because of that she won't get much use in the entire game.
