Into the Woods is the first hard skirmish of Valkyria Chronicles 4. This uses the same map as Chapter 03: Rangers in the Storm, Part 1. It is unlocked once the main story has been completed, along with Out of the Box and Beneath the Frost.

Topography[]

Briefing[]

Location: Woods

Description: Capture the enemy base camp to stave off the ambush in the forest. Enemies have taken the high ground, making frontal assaults dangerous. The difficult terrain also prevents vehicles from deploying.

Strategy[]

For this mission, Claude will be a mandatory unit and he will act as a scout. Bring you leader units, and if Kai is equipped with an anti-tank sniper rifle, you can use her as the anti-tank unit, if not then bring a lancer. You will also need two shocktrooper for this map.

The main trick to this map is to capture everything on the east side of the map first, then you can safely approach the west side of the map. The reason for this is that there are 5 enemy grenadiers stationed at the east side of the map, which makes it dangerous to navigate through the west side of the map.

Start the map by taking out the turret to the east side, with your anti-tank character. Then have Minerva bring Riley and a shocktrooper with her. Keep running until you nearly out of AP on the east side of the map. There are some shocktroopers guarding the area, along with a tank. Have Riley aim behind just near the wall of the tank, there is a Ragna crate, which lets you destroy the tank and the turret nearby. Now use the Defense Order on the shocktrooper and rush to the shocktroopers and use a flamethrower on them. If you still got the CP left, run down to the camp in below and kill the enemies near there. Then have Minerva kill the grenadier nearby.

On your main base, have Kai snipe the sniper from the southwest corner of the map. The three shocktroopers here will not move, but you will need to kill all three before you can safely start moving units. When you switch to the enemy phase, they won't do anything dangerous unless you units have started moving south.

When you regain your turn, have the shocktrooper on the east side of the map to capture the enemy base and then kill all the grenadiers in the area. Watch your step, there is a lot of landmines near the grenadiers. Then try to have the shocktrooper rush down the southeast camp. The shocktrooper should be out of AP.

Start moving units from the starting area, the order All Unit Defend and then use Claude with Direct Command to bring a shocktrooper and anti-tank unit with him. Hug to the left side of the map, this way you will avoid the enemy line of sight. You should run of AP near a bush of grass. Switch to a shocktrooper and use a flamethrower on the scout hiding there, this is actually a leader unit. Then have your shocktrooper kill the nearby trooper and then switch to your anti-tank unit you blow up the nearby tank. Return to the grass to hide.'

On the next turn, use the All Unit Defend order and have the shocktrooper placed on the east side of the map, to capture the southeast camp, There should be a shocktrooper and scout guarding the area. Then use the same trooper to wipe out the last grenadiers hiding in the upper left corner. This will now create a safe passage for the team to the left. If you want to rush through the rest of the mission, you can use the Direct Command on Claude and try to rush to the southwest base. Don't capture the last base just yet, there is actually an enemy ace hiding on the southwest corner of the map. If you kill the ace, he will drop the ZM MP 5(e) machine gun.

After beating this mission, Stahlschrott will join your squadron. If you manage to get an A rank, Marie will give you the Elite Boots accessory.


1 Turn victory[]

Its possible to do it in 1 Turn.

  • Use Claude to buff himself with defence (just himself) and explosive resistance.
  • Use Riley to bomb the first 2 Shocktrooper (west) infront of the Base.
  • Then with Claude run through to the Base. Sometimes he dies since enemy Mortars are random. (Reload)
  • If your HP is low and you reached the first Tank, stop. Use First Aid Order to give yourself full HP.
  • Then run to the Ace and kill him (he may dodge, so save/reload). Then use your Shiporder to Bombard the enemy Mainflag.
  • Use your last 2 Turn to kill the Enemies there and capture the point.
