Granzalk Garrison Post
Written by MSG Commander
After the guards are done questioning Ryle, Hargna appears and busts Ryle out of jail. She temporarily joins your party to help you escape from the Garrison. (Be sure to adjust Hargna’s Merit Points.)
Hargna's Sexy-and-Healing skill heals all party members, but it also affects their Stamina recovery rate, so try to use it near the end of a battle whenever possible.
The first thing you need to do now is to find Karin and Golban. (The soldiers have taken Runatie, so you’ll end up leaving the Garrison with Ryle, Hargna, Karin, and Golban.)
As soon as you exit the first room, Ryle and Hargna get into a battle with some of the guards. This looks somewhat like a Boss battle, but really it's just your typical random encounter. Have Hargna use Roundwhip, and it'll be over in two or three rounds.
Now, make your way to the east side and take the steps down to the dungeon. Rescue Karin and Golban and get the treasure, then head for the exit in the central room of the Garrison. (But check everyone's health before you exit; you're about to have another Boss battle.)
Boss Battle
Guardian, Advanced Axeman, Advanced Spearman, Advanced Swordsman
- 1800EXP/4130G/9AP
- Drop: Hilt of Life
- Steal: Secret Potion of Battle, Cureall, Lucklau, Extra-special Potion of Life
This battle’s not as hard as the one with Jenowin, as long as you have a good strategy.
First, have Karin use Sleep. This will affect all three soldiers (but the Guardian will resist.) With all three soldiers asleep, Ryle, Hargna and Golban can all focus on the Guardian.
Have Ryle use Berserk and Charge, Hargna use Princess Rose (on the Guardian), and have Golban use Armor Breaker, Defense Crush, and then Pummeling.
On Karin's second turn, use Poison Gem. (Again, the Guardian will resist, but now the soldiers are asleep, and poisoned.) Now Karin can use whatever you want, until Sleep or Poison wear off, then use them again to keep the soldiers asleep and slowly dying.
Once you've used Berserk, Charge, Armor Breaker, and Defense Crush, start using Raging Wrath. (This Finishing Move can be used by Ryle, Hargna, and Golban, and it only takes two party members to launch. Two of these attacks will destroy the Guardian's armor and reduce him to about one-half health.)
Now keep attacking the Guardian, and put the soldiers back to sleep anytime they wake up.
Have Hargna use Sexy-and-Healing as needed.
Once the Guardian is almost dead, use Golban's Raging Onslaught. If this doesn't wipe everyone out, follow it up with Hargna's Queen Rondo.
(Note: if you want to steal from each of these enemies, you may need to adjust this strategy slightly. In that case I recommend using Crescent Edge on each soldier, then Haze Slash - then, put them all back to Sleep.)
After the battle, you leave the Garrison Post, and the game cuts straight to the Path to the Pier.
