Talk to the cadet to get Rice Ball. Enter the room to the right find an Ice Pop inside one of the wooden boxes there and a chest which requires a password to open.

After docking, exit the port and make your way back to Lhant. Just follow the road until you reach the open area. An eagle and a couple of goblins will ambush you. This shouldn't be a difficult battle; just avoid getting sandwiched between them and attack them while they're lined up to maximize damage.

Ambushed!

Once done, you can continue along the road. Grab the 1000g from the chest before reaching the path uphill. Continue along the path and you'll have to defeat two enemy soldiers.

This battle shouldn't be that hard so there's really no special tactics necessary. Like before, sidestep and evade to avoid getting sandwiched between them and use guard auras to recharge your CC defensively. Concentrate on one enemy at a time.

Backup as arrived!

After the battle, you'll have to run back to the Meadow. Lead the weapon there and avoid any enemies for now. After the scene, you'll be in a battle against the Fendelian weapon with Sophie. Remember to not to be too aggressive up front as this enemy hits hard. It will be more effective attacking this enemy from the rear. Sophie and Cheria can both heal so you don't have to worry about keeping your party's HP up. Just remember to guard/ sidestep/ evade after performing your combos.

Is that a Tachicoma?

After the scene, Sophie will join the party and earn the Dead Ringer title. Exit to Lhant Hill and approach the savepoint for a skit. (Sophie's Sacrifice) Save your game then exit. Make your way back to Lhant.
