Strategy

At the start of this stage of the chapter, Ike is enabled to use the one weapon that can negate the Black Knight's invulnerability: Ragnell. However, simply possessing the sacred blade does not mean that the duel would be easy; far from it, in fact. Even with capped strength or speed, it is still not possible for Ike to double the Black Knight. The only other unit that accompanies Ike is Mist, who is able to heal the former; if she is defeated at any point in the game prior to the duel, then Ike's only source of healing are via items, meaning he has to sacrifice his turn to recover health. Despite Ike theoretically being able to defeat the Black Knight by continually chipping away his health and healing himself when needed, there is a hidden time limit of 5 turns. Without Aether or a Wrath-empowered critical hit, there is no way for Ike to defeat the Black Knight within 5 turns. If Ike does not have the stats or skills needed to defeat the Black Knight within the time limit, he can escape via the southern portion of the map, allowing the player to continue the story. However, doing this will affect which unit will join Ike's team in the next chapter. Furthermore, if a Game Over occurs due to Ike getting killed, the player will have to start the previous stage all over again.
