Ivanna can give an introductory tutorial on elemental affinity at the start of the battle.
Alphonse and Ivanna will start the battle by themselves, but on Turn 3 Rictor and Orson will enter from the east of the map. As a Knight, Ivanna will come with the Heal spell, which she will prioritize. This, alongside Rictor's and Orson's appearances plus the enemy's overall weakness means that, like before, this battle can be won automatically, but do mind the Wizard's attacks on Alphonse.
This time, treasure can be unearthed from the correct tiles. A Dragon Shield is buried at tile (15, 02), in the section near the barrels, but it cannot be picked without a flying unit (Fairy, Hawkman) or water-walker (Ninja), so remember to come back here in Training Mode when you have one. At the (06, 12) coordinate it's possible (though not guaranteed) to unearth a Claymore or Great Bow, much better equipment that what you'll find or buy at this point in the story.
After the battle and some cutscenes, Alphonse will be given 3,500G and a small group of units according to the answers given to the Fortune Teller during the intro scene. Lutra will now be open for random battles as well. It can be said that this is the point where players are left to advance on their own.

| Random | 06, 12 | No |
| Dragon Shield | 15, 02 | No |
Secret Shop[]
After recruiting Deneb (see her page for the neccessary steps) the general shop here will be overriden by the Secret Shop (see page for full inventory). Compared to other entries in the series, this version of the secret shop is rather limited, but there are a few highlights like the Firecrest (must sell 5 Glass Pumpkins here first to unlock), three of the Candy Set (the weapon piece must be obtained from a later story battle), the Sacrificial Doll and the Sacred Stone of Bliss.
