    Challenge: This is a difficult task requiring movement through strongholds and potential back-and-forth.
  13. 13

    Solution: Use a unit with the Locktouch skill to open the gates. If Locktouch is unavailable, take a side path on the left past the traps. Petra, as a Thief/Assassin, can have Locktouch.
Tips
  • Petra’s preferred classes (Thief/Assassin) can open locked gates.
  • Flying units can bypass floor traps.
  • Shez’s unique action skill can also bypass floor traps if used before stepping on them.
  • Locktouch skill is highly beneficial for opening gates and shortcuts.
  • Focus on main objectives after opening gates to meet S-Rank time limits.
  • The specific rewards for completing this mission are not detailed in the source text, but achieving an S-Rank typically yields better rewards.
