Final Fantasy Tactics Walkthrough

The deserters discuss their plans for ransacking a village just as Ramza and company appear at the battlefield. Ramza comes in and announces that this is the end of their debauchery and their options are to surrender or die. They scoff at the ultimatum and demand Agrias as recompense. Agrias gets angry and the battle begins.

You only have four slots, plus Agrias returning for just one battle to Guest status, but she can be kind of annoying in the battle because there is a lot of good stuff to steal here. You're likely to be quite overleveled for this fight, and as such you should ransack the enemies for their dang good loot. The Ninja is the main one you want to steal from, as he has Sasuke's Blade, one of the two best ninja swords in the game. Each Squire has a powerful magic-based gun, one with the Glacial Gun and one with the Blaze Gun. You may have a Glacial Gun from the earlier battle against Barich, but the other is a new one for your repertoire. The Knights each have a Gastrophetes, which you could have stolen in the battle where you met Balthier too. Finally, the Monk has a Barette and a Ninja Gear, the latter of which gives Auto-Invisible, a pretty fun status to play around with.

Decide what you want to steal, or if you want to steal at all, and then have at it. Agrias can get in the way here, but fortunately, you can KO her without any penalty to the battle objective. This battle isn't terribly difficult if you have some healing options, since the enemies can do some damage, but the pecking order should be quite clear. Additionally, the enemies don't crystalize after being KOed, so if you want to leave just a couple alive while you steal, you're more than able to revive the enemies to get their loot afterward. This shouldn't be too difficult, but one thing worth noting is that you need to have a decent Jump stat to get up to the top of the archway, and that is where the enemy tends to retreat. Don't get caught with only one character able to get up there, as there is so much good to steal in this battle that you should really aim to be picking at them with multiple thieves at once.
