Golgorand Execution Site
I go back Warjilis to stock up on some stuff and get in a random battle. After that, it's time to go into another notorious battle (if I remember correctly). I remember this battle being incredibly frustrating, but I hope I'm not mixing it up with that similar battle in Valkyrie Profile: CotP(also at an execution site, I think).
The party arrives at the fight in the nick of time! Or so it would seem. Actually, the princess is a fake and we triggered Gafgarion's trap card! This is a 5 on 9 fight very much not in Bartz's favor. I have Bartz, Belmont, and Heinlein in my first squad, with Evelyn and Reeve in my second squad. My first idea was to have Evelyn take the high ground, but realized it would be safer if I grouped together. Got lucky at the start with a time mage casting slow at Evelyn and had Evelyn move next to Gafgarion. The spell missed her and hit him, allowing her to get away from his relentless attacks. Evelyn has auto-potion which helped a little with this.
I had Reeve go up-top and attack the time mages, but he only managed to take one out before he took too much damage and had to flee. Gafgarion used his broken night sword attack to KO him on the stairs, and proceeded to do so every time I phoenix downed him. The remaining time mage wandered around doing not much.
I only had Heinlein use accumulate a couple times but he still felt like a beast ripping through any unit not a knight. He started out with Belmont taking care of the knights on the ground level, which took a couple turns, but Fire 2 was amazing enough and Belmont used auto-potion. Heinlein was equipped with counter, which was put to especially good use near the end when the last knight(the one that starts on the top level) attacked him and he did a critical counter for 230HP, OHKO. He then attacked an archer for OHKO, got a crit on Gafgarion for OHKO, and the last time mage fell to Evelyn's arrows.
The battle wasn't too difficult, but I must admit I had some luck on my side. After the fight we see Delita working with Draclau and the knight Vormav. I saw that guy earlier in Dorter, and I'm guessing he's a big bad. They tell Ovelia that she's not a real princess but they faked it because they don't want the Atkascha family to have the throne. It's a conspiracy or something and they are trying to use everyone. Looks like everyone is evil in this game, which I don't mind. They can all die and stuff.
