Master Episode 15a of Valkyria Chronicles, 'Citadel Ghirlandaio,' with our comprehensive walkthrough. Learn strategies for A-rank, CP management, and defeating tough enemies.
Walkthrough
- 1Phase 1: Deploy Rosie and your other best shocktrooper in the front positions, Alicia in the middle, and Largo in the back. Select Rosie, move northeast up the right path, and eliminate the crouching scout (watch for mines). Move north around the corner, shoot the medium tank in the back, and finish it off. Advance towards the first enemy base, take out the heavy gatling gun, and crouch inside near the enemy lancer. Select your other shocktrooper, use a flamethrower to kill the enemy shocktrooper in one shot. Activate the first switch, flame the lancer, occupy the base, and crouch. Move Alicia north along the right wall to avoid a hidden scout and plant her in the base to defend. Call an engineer and a sniper from the new base. End the phase with 3 CP remaining.
- 2Phase 2: Save your game. Select your sniper, move east towards the nest, and eliminate the enemy sniper leader on the far north wall. Target the enemy shocktrooper leader near the next switch, then target a shocktrooper in the trenches (western side). Descend for cover. Select Rosie, move east past your sniper, and turn left. Go to the back of the ace tank destroyer and destroy it (should take 1-2 CP). Move northwest towards the enemy heavy gatling gun and take it out. Face east when done. Take the engineer and move slowly towards the second base, deactivating mines along the railway and north path. Activate the second switch and occupy the second enemy base. Face east. Use your remaining shocktrooper to push north through the cleared path, head west towards the medium tank, run behind it, shoot it, finish it, and move as far west as possible. Aim to finish with 5 CP (or 4).
- 3Phase 3: Start with Rosie and move her into the trench. Eliminate the final trenched shocktrooper and move east as far as possible, ending near a wall. Select your engineer and grenade the enemy ace. If the ace moved, this should be easy. If not, run east through the trench to find him hiding in the grass near the eastern wall corner. Toss a grenade to make him stand. If he's still alive, use your sniper to finish him from the nest.
Tips
- Shocktroopers with upgraded flamethrowers (VB FW 1(g) or 2(g)) can kill crouching shocktroopers in one turn.
- Medium tanks can be destroyed in two CP, especially with upgrades or R-type weapons.
- Use ladders on the far wall to bypass gatling bunkers near the third switch.
- Mortar bunkers target random areas; try to stay outside their range or reload the enemy's turn if necessary.
- Be mindful of mines, especially along the railway and north path.
- Alicia can easily defend the first base from reinforcements.
