The gimmick of the chapter is supposed to be that all items in the game share the same name and icon, so while the player can see their weapon types and stats, any additional effects (such as, say, the Devil Axe's backfire effect or any and all weapon effectiveness) are unknown unless the player experiments. Unfortunately, the chapter is also full of bugs and glitches that make it near unplayable in the "intended" manner. The only reason it wasn't disqualified is that it can in fact be completed with an exploit of sorts. Therefore, a map will not be provided.

Synopsis

Walkthrough
At the beginning, you are asked several questions. Answer "Yes" to the first question. The next two questions determine the characters that join you: For the first question, answer "Yes" for Hector, Marcus, and Eliwood (Though recruiting him turns Hector into an enemy. It is HE that recruits YOU, get it?), or "No" for Lilina, Wallace, and Roy (recruiting him seems perfectly safe for some reason). For the second question, answer "Yes" for Tana and Karla, or "No" for L'arachel and Dieck.
The objective is simply to kill Narshen, who is on the throne. Occasionally, Lyn will warn you to keep an eye on your lord: This is a warning that on the next turn, either Hector or Lilina will teleport to the fort at the beginning for no reason. Rescuing your lord prevents this. On a certain turn, several Nomad Troopers appear; blocking any of them from spawning freezes the game. Also, if you decide to not use the exploit, avoid leaving any enemy with less than 25% of their HP, because this will cause Riev to heal them, and for some reason, this freezes the game. (Yes, even if the animations are off. We have no idea how DH_Ninja actually managed to mess this one up, so he should really get an award for it.)
Here's how to exploit the chapter: If your main lord is Lilina, you will get Wallace on turn 2. In this chapter, Generals can use Bows, and Wallace comes with a Longbow, which has just enough range to fire at Narshen from behind the throne room. Killing him is very easy this way, but keep in mind the glitch with Riev. Hit Narshen once, then wait for his HP to get to around 45 while fending off the Wyverns, then fire at him two more times. Then you're done. The final question does nothing. Also, the game freezes when it moves to vanilla Chapter 1. Icing on the cake.
