The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero

Guardian Force Drill Participation

Walkthrough for the Guardian Force Drill Participation request on Chapter 2 Day 1 in The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero.

Guardian Force Drill Participation is a Request at Tangram Gate in Chapter 2 Day 1.

How to Start Guardian Force Drill Participation

Guardian Force Drill Participation is a request that you can begin by examining the computer in the SSS HQ at the start of Chapter 2. Unlike the old Road Monster Extermination Request, this one is entirely optional so it’s a good idea to focus on clearing it (and the other Requests) earlier in the day. Once you have the information in your detective notebook, you’ll need to head to East Crossbell Highway to make your way to Tangram Gate.

Although you can take a bus straight to Tangram Gate, consider taking the bus to Bus Stop (Fork) and head east through two new areas of East Crossbell Highway to log some new monster entries and open a few chests. The path eventually leads to Tangram Gate, the destination of this Request.

Go inside the main building and enter the second room on your left. If you don’t already have max CP, consider using the Inn next door to recover to 200 CP and then take the western exit to find some stairs leading up. From here, follow the eastern corridor and enter the room at the end to find Deputy Commander Baelz, the client for this Request (remember to save your game before speaking to her!).

How to Complete Guardian Force Drill Participation

The goal for this Request is to win two battles against the rookies of the Guardian Force if you want to get the maximum DP out of this Request.

Recruit - Halberd 17 Earth_Elemental.png 100 Water_Elemental.png 100 Fire_Elemental.png 100 Wind_Elemental.png 100 Smoke Grenade, S-Tablet

The first battle should be a simple one, so look to conserve as much CP as possible for the second battle. You’ll be up against three Recruit - Halberds and a single Recruit - Assault Rifle. As you may expect, the Assault Rifle user can hit you from range whereas the Halberds will need to get up closer. It’s worth starting the battle with Randy’s Crash Bomb Craft as it should hit all enemies with the Blind status and considering they mostly just use regular attacks; you’ll find life a lot easier. None of these enemies do any significant damage, so consider taking out the Assault Rifle first before using area of effect Arts from Tio and Elie to deal with the others as they group up.

This is a repeat of the last battle, with the only difference being that Sergeant Major Seeker will join them. Be sure to scan her at the start of the battle, then use Randy’s Crash Bomb to blind everyone but Seeker, who appears to be resistant to Blind. With that in mind, make her your main target and if you stocked CP beforehand, you can deal with her before she even gets a chance. Using Lloyd’s S-Break followed by one of Tio or Randy’s S-Break with almost certainly down her, leaving you with the blinded Recruits that you should be able to pick off without issue.
