The first stage is one of the simplest in the game, with a straight path leading to the Stigma of Chaos and only a few level 1 enemies that bar Cecil's path. The player begins with four Destiny Points. The maximum number of Destiny Points achievable in this stage is three. This can be done by defeating the Delusory Knight at C3, then positioning oneself at E3 and defeating the two adjacent battle pieces and obtaining their Destiny Points before destroying the Stigma of Chaos.
