Through the Fire is the fifth hard skirmish of Valkyria Chronicles 4. This uses the same map as Chapter 06: The Point of No Return. It is unlocked after the first three hard skirmishes have been completed.

Topography[]

Briefing[]

Location: Lindbergh Base

Description: Lindbergh Base is under attack once more. Scatter the enemies by capturing all their camps. Flaming terrain is only traversable to vehicles. No matter how well-defended the city seems, enemies can still slip in through the cracks, so stay on your guard.

Strategy[]

This mission shares the same location as the battle "Withdrawal from Lindbergh" in Chapter 6. This mission can be completed in a single turn by abusing the All Unit Defend order and perform a scout rush by capturing all enemy camps. Although this method requires a bit of trial and error as you will need to find the efficient route or else your units will end up critically wounded leaving in a complete mission failure.

Anyways start the mission by deploying your leader units and two extra scouts and a shocktrooper. The use the All Unit Defend order. Pick one of your scouts to go after the southwest camp, keep moving until you run out of AP and the grenade on the shocktrooper guarding the camp. When the shocktrooper is gone, capture the camp.

Then have the Cactus pick up one of your scouts and go towards the southeast camp, fastest way to get there is to pass the flame by going south. Take care of the shocktroopers there and deploy one of your scouts to capture the camp.

The next camp is probably the riskiest one to capture, you can try to save your camp first. Use Raz and head towards the northeast camp, there will be a lot of stationary guns firing at you, so you will need to be careful. When you reach the camp, use your flamethrower on the soldiers guarding the base, its possible to kill both at once with the correct position.

Then finally on the last camp located northwest, use Direct Command with Minerva and bring a shocktrooper with her. Minerva's AP should run out as you reach near the camp, use a grenade on the scout guarding camp. Then use the shocktrooper that followed Minerva, and aim for the grenadier just behind the camp. This grenadier is actually an enemy ace and killing him will drop the VB GW 5(e) mortar. Then capture the last camp to complete the mission.

When you have completed this mission, a new episode will be added to the Story Book. Watch the new event and the Navy (Brian, Sergio, Andre, and Louffe) will now join your squadron.

If you manage to get an A rank, Marie will give you the Godsend Coin accessory.
