Regardless of the route you picked in Chapter Three, Triangle Strategy's story reconvenes for this chapter. This chapter is an interesting one, giving you some glimpses of the Grand Norzelian Mines and the living situation of the Rosellan peoples in Glenbrook.
As a result, it's important to pay attention during this chapter. There are two exploration events and a battle to contend with, so there are plenty of items and tidbits of info to miss. But don't worry, you're in safe hands with us.
Exploration Event: Rosellan Village
In this event, Serenoa takes Frederica to a Rosellan Village within Glenbrook's borders to ask them to make a dress for their wedding. While Frederica is having her measurements taken, Serenoa is prompted to take a look around the village. This is an exploration event with lots of interesting lore to pick up from the Rosellans, but also a few to grab, too.

|---|---|
| I would have done the same. We have a duty to help those in need. | Morality |
| I pray the day soon comes when you no longer require protection, and are free to live your lives unfettered. | Liberty |
| And I intend to honor that. Let us work together, and make this land a prosperous one for your people. | Utility |
| Conviction Conversation: Rosellan Child | |
|---|---|
| You'll be able to venture further afield when you're older. And when that day comes, I'll show you both around the demesne myself. | Liberty |
| Ah, but there's plenty of fun to be had here! I'm sure your mother would be pleased if you took up hunting or fishing. | Utility |
| That's because you're precious to her. You'd do well to heed her words. | Morality |
Once you've talked to everyone you want, you can end the exploration and view a series of scenes that hint at upcoming events.
Main Story: Rosella Village
Frederica tells Serenoa about the dress fitting just as Roland surprises the group with his happy news. They decide to head to the mines without delay.
Exploration Event: Grand Norzelian Mines
Dragan sure seemed shift at Roland's arrival, didn't he? After a short scene, you'll receive The Power of Salt added to your Notes and get a chance to explore a small area of the mines. As ever, this comes with some things to pick up.
Items, Notes, And Information
| Items | |
|---|---|
| Large HP Recovery Pellet | Near the miner just past Roland. |
| Vanguard Scarf | On the ledge just above and to the right of Erador. |
| Stone | On the stone pillar near Anna. |
| 450 Coins | Next to the wall between Erador and an Aesfrosti Miner. |
| Notes | |
| Mining Schedule | On the ledge above Frederica. |
| Information | |
| Svarog Aesfrost | Speak to the Aesfrosti Miner near Frederica. |
The Vanguard Scarf is a very useful accessory, be sure not to miss it.
Conviction Conversations
| Conviction Conversation: Benedict | |
|---|---|
| Seeing as it is a joint accord, I would resolve the matter peaceably with Hyzante and Aesfrost's involvement. | Utility |
| I would hear of the problems firsthand from the miners themselves. Issuing orders blindly from above leads to chaos. | Liberty |
| I would order an investigation into the cause, and find the party or parties responsible. There must be no cause for bad blood between our nations. | Morality |
Two quite short exploration events in this chapter, huh? Once you have talked to everyone you want to and picked up everything you can, end the event and prepare for some conflict.
Combat Event: Grand Norzelian Mines
And things seemed to be going so well – it turns out Dragan got outplayed. Your foes here are Aesfrosti soldiers who have been tasked with eliminating Dragan. Luckily for him, we're on the scene.
Battle Overview
| Recommended Level | 5 |
|---|---|
| Enemies | 5x Aesfrosti Blade, 3x Aesfrosti Bowman, 3x Aesfrosti Shieldbearer, 1x Aesfrosti Healer, 1x Aesfrosti Battlemage |
| Deployment | Deployment Limit: 9 Units |
| Mandatory Units: Serenoa | |
| Recommended Units: Geela, Hughette, Erador, Anna | |
| Guest Units: Dragan | |
| Objective | Defeat all enemies. |
| Do not let Dragan die. | |
| Difficulty | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
You're up against a pretty sizeable horde of enemies here, and it's quite a varied bunch, too. It's also very important to note here that it's game over for you if Dragan gets defeated. Do everything you can to stop this from happening.
Luckily, you can take in your entire roster with you for this battle, and Dragan has a pretty good head on his shoulders. Once you've managed to take the heat off of him, he should head to a safe part of the battlefield and camp out.

One of the first things you should consider in this battle is to equip Erador with the Vanguard Scarf that you (hopefully) picked up during the exploration event and put him on the tile closest to Dragan. This accessory makes the wearer go first in any battle they're in, and this is great for getting Erador a headstart towards the flimsy lord.
On his first turn, consider using Sprint to boost his movement and then moving him forwards.
Some of the Aesfrosti units in this battle have the Blessing of Ice passive skill. This gives them resistance to ice attacks while making them weak to fire. Keep this in mind as you're controlling Frederica and, if you picked him up in Chapter Three, Corentin.
Hughette is the perfect unit for taking out the Bowman on the high ledge, but beware the fact that she has an innate weakness to arrows herself as a result of her hawk mount. There are a few ways to deal with this weakness:
- Use Benedict's Bulwark on her before you send her over there.
- Blind the Bowman with Blinding Arrow.
- Have a healthy stack of Recovery Pellets, as Geela's healing is better used elsewhere.
It's likely that you'll learn some really useful abilities during this battle. Three of note are:
- Roland's Opportune Attack, which gives him an extra, passive attack against a random adjacent enemy whenever he moves five tiles in one turn. Use this whenever you can.
- Geela's Haste spell, which improves an ally's speed. Use this on your most important units – in this battle, these will probably be Erador, Hughette, and Geela herself.
- Frederica's Blazing Chains spell, which doesn't have the same area of effect as Scorch, is incredibly powerful as a tradeoff.
One of the keys to victory in this battle is not to overextend. It's all too easy to launch forwards into groups of enemies and end up losing units. Only Erador can reliably handle multiple combatants attacking him at once, and even he will need some healing support from time to time.
Instead, your regular units should try to lure groups of enemies towards them so that they don't get surrounded and follow-up attacked to death.
Once the battle is over, you'll witness some shocking, sad scenes. The plot thickens. Onto Chapter Five!
