- If you talk to Hayward (Archer), he'll join the Force now. Otherwise, he'll join after the battle.

-! Use the 30% terrain effect to your advantage.
- Finish off the remaining Sara Knights and Defense Commander (boss).

- Go outside, then go back to the second floor of the Inn and search.
- Make sure to get the Power Wine from the chest.
-! At the end of the hallway, walk through the wall and make your way around to a hidden room. Untie Barnard (Archer) and he'll be available in Scenario 2.

-! Go to Duncan's house (with a fenced in yard), talk to him, and get the Hill Ruins Map in the chest.
- Now is a good time to save at the Church.
- Go to Duncan's house, exit through the side door, and jump in the well for Battle 4.
- Take care of the Sniper to the right first. Don't wait around too long because the Worm and Scaven will keep regenerating.
- Stay to the right side of the center path to avoid being attacked by the other Sniper.
-! Make sure to get the Steel Bracer from the chest.
- There is no boss, just finish off the Scaven guarding the passage.
- Try to get Grace up to level 4 ASAP because she'll be able to cast Antidote, which cures poison/paralysis.
- Fight the Worm and Scaven ahead first.
- Work your way over to the Hill Ruins.
- Assuming you got the Hill Ruins Map in Balsamo Town, enter the ruins with three Force members, while the rest fight off the remaining enemies outside.
-! Don't kill the Thief Commander (boss) before you get the treasure from the ruins.
** Hill Ruins **
- Send the weakest member to get the Healing Drop from the chest on the right.
-! Use the other two members to cut off the Thief before he can escape out the right side door. Steal the Life Ring from the Thief by attacking him once (without killing him).
