Mandalia Plains[edit]
Introduction[edit]
This battle begins with a question: choose to do you duty and destroy the Death Corps or save the man who is under attack. Choosing "1. Our duty is to destroy the Death Corps." will give you 10 additional Brave for the battle and 2 permanent Brave points. That choice would sort of go against the spirit of what your father told you to do on his deathbed though. If you choose "2. Saving him is our priority." and the man dies then you will lose the battle.
I'd choose the first because there is no downside and Algus could possibly die and you'd be fine.
Battle[edit]
This battle is fairly easy. Have your Chemist Charmaine (with the battle boots) positioned as far to the left and down as possible then have her move in early to hear Algus. Be weary of attacking the panther because he will counter if attacked from the sides or front a % of the time equal to his Brave. He also has Poison Nail which can Poison the person he attacks. The thief is a little stronger but not much. They have no healing ability so just have your units go to the front lines, attack, then retreat when they are weak. Heal them and repeat til finished.
After this battle Mandalia Plains becomes a random battle location.
Aftermath[edit]
Algus then talks with Ramza and Delita before they head off to Igros Castle.
Igros Castle[edit]
Ramza, Algus, and Delita meet up with Dycedarg at Igros, and discuss the kidnapping of Marquis Elmdor of Limberry. You are given the mission to guard the castle. Algus talks with Delita and Ramza outside the castle and Alma, Zalbag, and Teta (Delita's sister) show up. Zalbag mentions Dorter Trade City east of Gallione.

- Make sure Algus has Item equipped as a secondary
- If anyone who doesn't have Gained JP Up can learn it, have them do so and set it on as a support, except for Delita.

- Regardless of his JP change him into a Knight.
- Go to the shop and get your potions around 25
- Buy Delita a Long Sword, an Escutcheon, a Bronze Helmet, and a Linen Cuirass to equip on him now that he's a knight.

- Head to Gariland Magic City.
There is a 50% chance you'll get in a battle in the Mandalia Plains but it should be fairly easy and the JP will be useful.
