Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Chapter 3: Pirates Aground

After the rescue mission is completed, Ike and co gets scalded by Commander Greil and Titania. Otherwise, life returns to normal and Ike is even sent on another mission, this time to clear out some Pirates who are stealing from a small village. After meeting with a villager who explains the details further you head out and begin your mission.

Walkthrough
This is the first level which you can prepare for before hand. The menu that appears as you begin is a useful one when used correctly. The first thing you should do is reposition Gatrie so that he is in front of Shinon. This is a sound formation but the positions of Shinon and Titania can be swapped for just as much effect. After this you can trade with other members of the group who aren't there, making life much easier. Trade Gatrie's iron lance with Oscar and make sure Ike has the steel sword from chapter one in his inventory. If one of your characters is lacking a vulnerary, borrow one off Boyd or Oscar, as you don't play as them again until chapter 5.

Now, after saving, begin the mission. Send Shinon to deal with the nearby myrmidon to the left and Titania to deal with the fighter next to the house, after he's defeated move her as far right as possible. Now send Gatrie up to defeat the fighter on turn one, followed by Ike who you should use to trade With Gatrie, take Gatrie's steel lance off him. Otherwise, Ike will be killed by the overpowering Bandits. After a few Bandits have been killed trade Gatrie's lance back to him and finish the last few foes off, Don't bother with the archer until the last minute as he doesn't do much damage. On turn 2 use Titania to visit the house to gain a valuable elixir. Don't use it though unless all your characters have run out of vulnerary's. Move Ike and Gatrie northwards, onto the boat, remember to talk to Marcia with Ike when you get the chance. Be careful when dealing with the boss's close allies as they use ranged weapons - something both Ike and Gatrie lack at this point. Once they're out of the way, deal with the boss, Harvetti. Use Gatrie to lure him out and finish him off with Ike.

Now that you've won, you watch Titania being told she should be in the Royal knights, although she doesn't like the idea, Gatrie and Shinon are more than happy to become royal knights of Crimea.
