Beneath the Frost is the third hard skirmish of Valkyria Chronicles 4. This uses the same map as Chapter 10: Under the Ice. It is unlocked once the main story has been completed, along with Into the Woods and Out of the Box.

Topography[]

Briefing[]

Location: Glacial Crevasse

Description: The Centurion got caught in a trap and sank into a crevice. Capture all enemy camps surrounding the cruiser. Vehicles are unable to deploy due to damage, and Ship Orders are unavailable. But taking the high ground could turn the tides.

Strategy[]

This Skirmish is a little different than the rest. You will need to kill all enemy soldiers in this map to complete this mission, for this reason alone, it will be impossible to miss the enemy ace.

I would recommend deploying your leader units for this map, a shocktrooper, and two extra lancers. Riley should also equip herself with an anti-personnel type mortar. This mission will also have Claude in his scout form, so Ship orders will be unavailable.

Begin the mission by using the All Unit Defend order, the use one of your lancers to blow up the tank in front of you. Now before you proceed to the west side of the map, there is actually a lot of enemies placed there, you can use Riley to launch mortars near the enemy camp to disoriented their position. Make sure you destroy the gatling gun near the southwest corner.

Have Minerva or Claude use Direct Command and bring a lancer and a shocktrooper with you to the west camp. Kill the shocktroopers surrounding the camp by using a grenade or by shooting at them. You can also switch to your shocktrooper to use a flamethrower on them. Now have the lancer near you blow the up the nearby tank. Then take control of your shocktrooper to kill the sniper and shocktrooper in front of you. Now switch to the same lancer at aim for the tank directly north of you.

Now before you end your turn, there is also an enemy shocktrooper stationed to the ledge near the starting camp. Use one of your scouts to kill him. Then proceed on the next turn.

The enemy will start to move their scouts and shocktroopers. So what happens in this might be completely different from the guide. Have Kai aim for any infantry unit she can see and kill them. THen use some CP to go to the ledge northeast. From here, you can use Kai to aim for the grenadier ace that is located on the northwest side of the map. Kill that grenadier so that your force to the west can safely move.

Take control of the leader scout on the western base, and have that person move to the cavern to the west, where they will find the enemy ace shocktrooper that is facing behind. Kill the ace to get the ZM MP 6(e) machine gun and then continue to the northwest side of the map.

Now you should be some enemy forces move to the northeast ledge, bring Riley to aim for any shocktroopers from far. Make sure they're dead, or else your force might be facing some major danger during the enemy phase.

On the next turn, take control of the Leader scout you bring to the west caverns, this scout will be responsible for taking out a majority of the forces to the north side of the map, as coming from the cavern will let this scout strike them from behind. If you're unable to kill the enemies here, you can also use the Order, Attack Weak Spot on this scout to always land critical hits. Make sure you capture the enemy camp here, to stop enemy reinforcements. With this obstacle gone, it should be easy for the rest of your force to pick off the rest of the enemies from here. Once you have done that, the mission will end.
