Welcome to XxEvilDemonFacexX ‘s guide for Stage 3 of Nothing to Lose But Your Collars. This stage is where the famous difficulty curve spikes. This guide will give you the optimal team and strategy, and the hidden achievement.
Spoiler warning for the game ahead, obviously.
This mission, you are tasked with liberating Newtown and escaping successfully. Before you start the mission, make sure you have recruited Koneko Ono and equipped her with the Fork of Damnation.
Fork of Damnation – The ancient forking potential of this bent utensil imbues you with +15% ATK and +20% ATK SPD
-Ingame Codex
Set Koneko Ono as the squad leader and run the mission. Her skill level should be around 30, and preferably have a CD of 40%. If you don't, 4x Slime Fish should do the trick. The mission opens to burning streets. Guardsmen will block your way - situate archers next to the bakery or in the bakery porch. Koneko should be spearheading the assault, with other charge-type allies in a V shape. Once the round begins, the guardsmen will shout to surrender – Turner will say that they wish to leave in peace, and that violence will be met with self defense. Turn order will then begin.

You can set the game to auto from here on out, and hopefully your team should clear the guardsmen.
If you’ve been following my previous guides, the third chest is behind the windmill. Collect it and fuse the three ribbon items together to make the Rainbow Ribbon and obtain the achievement.
Rainbow Ribbon — It looks like a long bacon strip. CD -50% on Archer-type characters.

Marching onwards, you will encounter several more waves of guardsmen which will be easy to pick off.
What is not easy is the game’s first total party wiper. An ambush will happen from an alleyway and attack your troops from behind, causing additional damage because we are surprised. A way to negate this is sending one sacrificial troop into the alleyway to trigger the surprise condition, and then send in the rest of your troops when the ambush enemies have come out of hiding.
Make sure to sweep the surrounding area for hidden supplies and recruits. There should be wood planks to gather near the third crossroads. Collect those.
The miniboss will appear once you have gotten to the gates, Wantabe, one of the mercenaries pursuing your group. His high ATK SPD buff often triggers rapidly before your support troop has a chance to remove it. With Koneko’s high CD, he will be stunned before he has a chance to buff, and your charge troops will kill him.
Continue out towards the gates and into the forests. The story will continue from then on. Thanks for reading my guide!
Consider how quickly all things are dissolved and resolved: the bodies and substances themselves, into the matter and substance of the world: and their memories into the general age and time of the world. Consider the nature of all worldly sensible things; of those especially, which either ensnare by pleasure, or for their irksomeness are dreadful, or for their outward lustre and show are in great esteem and request, how vile and contemptible, how base and corruptible, how destitute of all true life and being they are.
