Chapter 8 continued
We enter the second part of the chapter, and alas, the mighty hair of Ovo is no longer with us. You shall be missed, brave warrior!
Hey look, Sety is defending Manster and dragon knights are incoming. This part IS better in this game than it is in FE5, simply because we don't have randomly appearing dark mages popping out of nowhere. And hey, Trabant is talking to his son and also to his daughter...Altenna. 10 points to anyone who hasn't played the game before who can tell me where we've heard that name before (and searching through the topics doesn't count!). And we've got Coruta, the third dragon knight to be a Harold. If memory serves me, he's the second last one. If I'm wrong please don't correct me, I want to be surprised by the wonders of discovering a forgotten Harold.
As we pass by Conote I send Faval in to do some arena fighting and HOLY CRAP. Why have I been running into so many glitches lately? Faval is apparently not only a powerful archer, he has also mastered the art of how not to be seen. As in, he is fighting in the arena while invisible. This is pretty amusing, I must admit. And later in the chapter it keeps happening. My army have become ghosts!
Anyway, I have my dudes who need levels rescue civilians where everyone who can already kick ass goes to "bail out" Sety. Not that the guy needs it. I finally get to see Levin!Sety in action and somehow I doubt he'll disappoint. He has been hit by the speed wrap around glitch though so he's sitting at only 15 speed. He'll still cap it eventually, and he has Holsety so it's not like he cares. Fee and Aless head down the coast to clear out enemies and save villages, because I want Aless to get the Thief Ring so he can spam Mistoltin indefinitely without worrying about cash.
And then everything goes pretty much the way I said it would. This is not a hard chapter past the initial surge of enemies going towards Lenster, and I guess the Thunderstorm barrage leading up to Conote is a bit tricky, but after that it's all smooth sailing. Altenna flies south, questioning herself for having chosen not to fight. Lots of my units are ready to promote now. Julia, Delmud and Nanna can promote as soon as chapter 9 begins, Johalva needs just one more level so the arena ought to do the trick, Leaf also needs just one more level, and Lana promoted during the chapter. Hooray for powerful units!
