Chapter 19 odd treasure chest location.

[BoogieMan]

There is a chest in the lower left corner right at the edge of the map with 12 enemy squads around it. The moment I get in range, on their turn they all zerg at me and die, and the chapter automatically ends when they are dead, there is no way to reach the chest unless you go out of your way to leave an enemy squad alive somewhere else on the map that you already went through to kill afterwards.

Seems a bit weird. Not really a bug, but it doesn't fit very well either. The other more difficult treasure chests so far just required you to get somewhere quickly, more of a turn limit issue. This feels off because it seems like you need to metagame to exploit the win conditions of the game to be able to get the chest?

In my experience, the lower bunch seemed scripted to just march towards the front door of the fortress once triggered (not sure if it's turn count or getting too close, I think the former) and they ignored my units in range.

I did lure out and kill the upper group beforehand and slipped a unit past them to the chest, using the teleport power to cover the last bit of ground.

Don't forget you have a teleport too, although the units will turn and focus on whoever you teleport over.

[BoogieMan]

They didn't move until I moved a unit very close to them. All 12 units died attacking MC squad one after the other in a single turn.

I suppose if I moved close enough and used both teleport and refresh power that may have worked. But it's more reliable to just leave the group in the fort a short ways north east of the town you're defending to kill last.

same here too.. my first playthrough i try to use diana to tank hits and it end up to first-shot every single enemy (on captain mode)

the next try i lure 1 of them out at their maximum attack distant, first hit few of them to make them low attack power to not kill my other unit and left a few enemy squad at max health (so that they will survive on their turn attacking my unit) then run as far as i can to top, then use cavalry rush/teleporting for item (after they chase me on top)

To deal with bunches of enemies that will charge you when you get in range, build a very strong defensive squad. Either one with a center row of healers, with sentinels in front and another set of heavy armor in the back (paladins work well since they can also heal). Makes it extremely difficult to kill, and puts enemies in range of your other units to attack afterwards. also, since it's defensively built it won't do a ton of damage which means it won't kill all the enemies and leave them open for other units to get xp/surrenders.

Probably the best squad I've found for this is 3 dragons (or dragon riders) with 2 healers and a paladin behind them, stupidly hard to kill since the dragons have such huge health pools.

I just kite them away and have a cav team run in and go get chest.

When I went through it, I believe half went off to attack the castle of their own accord, and when the other half was the last group I lured them away a bit to where only one attacked and died, then teleported a unit closer for the chest and cleaned up the rest

I used my defensive squad to face tank the zerg and sent a Calvary to the treasure.
IIRC it wasn't even that valuable of a treasure if I remember correctly, I recall being disappointed...

Yeah, it was a proof of merit or something like that. Nice, but not what I expected given the nature of it's position.
