Part 21

Approach Rosch for a decision.

STRATEGY: Use Push Assault to mitigate damage. Use Change while taking minimal damage unless Rosch moves to the front row. Keep using Change until you can cast Fire for three or four turns to defeat him.

After Sonja installs the new Force Core into Rosch's Gauntlet, he learns Burn Strike. You can proceed with the plot back in Standard History (skip to JUDG4) or continue with Alternate History.

Recommended Party: Stocke, Gafka, Rosch

Enemies: None

At the [Celestian War node], reenter the Patriarch's House. Talk to Sonja for the [Conversion] sidequest, and again with the Impale Core. Talk to Elm to unlock the [A Friend to Elm] node.

Shops sell nothing new. Buy up to 15 Sleep Wings if not using Raynie or Aht. Arrange your party and head to Lazvil Hills.

Raynie: Magic Spear, Runic Mail, Horn Charm x3

Marco: Wisp Blade, Runic Mail, Bishop Stud x3

Rosch: Bloody Pike, Runic Mail, Fang Charm x2, Rose Ring

Aht: Silver Dagger, Life Robe, Bishop Stud x3

Gafka: Rune Claw, Feather Guard, Fang Charm x3

Recommended Party: Stocke, Gafka, Rosch

Enemies: Alistel Grunt (Sleep), Alistel Soldier, Iron Shield (Fire)

This area presents a difficulty spike. If underleveled, Sleep Wings will help. Use Gafka and Rosch to help them gain experience.

At the [Winds of War node], the path is straightforward. Ensure Rosch has a full Mana Burst gauge. Head north two screens, bring Aht in to replace Gafka, and proceed.

STRATEGY: Rosch's Seyfried Mana Burst should destroy the Clockwork Thunders first. Use Electric Traps and assaults on the Thaumachine. Rosch should use Gull Swing to defeat continually summoned Clockwork Thunders.

Back at Celestia, remove Rosch's Rose Ring. Talk to Raul. Choosing to "Join with someone else" and "Team up with Granorg" unlocks [The Eternal War] ending.

At the [A New Alliance node], choose to "Team up with Forgia" to proceed. Head to the Boundary Tree and talk to Gafka.

At the [Gafka's Past node], you cannot progress without the Beast Mark. Return to the "Death of a Friend" node in Standard History.

Recommended Party: Stocke

Enemies: None

At the [East and West Battle node], after talking to Rosch, there is no fight, but not all goes as planned.

Recommended Party: Stocke

Enemies: None
