Chapter 13x: The Peddler Merlinus
The dying words of Lord Helman stun Eliwood beyond belief. 'Darin, the marquess of Laus, knows all...' Despite the pain it brings, Eliwood takes this newfound knowledge to heart and sets out for Laus once again. On the way to Laus, he travels through a Caelin village. Eliwood and his party decide to rest there for the night.
Battle Begins: 3:20
Roster
Eliwood - Level 7
Rebecca - Level 6
Hector - Level 6
Strategy: A very simple defend map. Have Oswin block the West bridge, Eliwood and Hector on the North bridges, and some sword user(s) for the South or far Southeastern bridge, preferably Guy and Matthew. Use Marcus to quickly reach the village in the NE corner for a free 5,000 gold before a brigand destroys it. You can play this safe and just block all paths leading to Merlinus for 7 turns. Or if you got a strong team, you can on the offense and fight your way to the boss, that torch you got last chapter could be useful in this case.
Comment: A defend map with fog of war.. My two favorite types of maps, and fortunately for me there are a ton of them in this game! Also hurray we got Merlinus!

You know Odyssey, you should list Merlinus's level as well. He is quite important to your party, and it would also be pretty funny.

It's funny, but I've played through this level about four times before and my strategy is almost the same as yours. I guess the game kinda suggests it with its starting placements, though.
