Introduction [Intro]:

First off the bat, this is my first FAQ so it may not be flawless. My name is
Alex Chamis, also known as Master_SeeD. This FAQ is written for Easy/Normal
difficulty so if you are looking for hard mode, this is not the FAQ for you.
Also, I will not suggest characters to use in chapters because people are
entitled to their own opinions. I will post MY opinions on characters at the
end of the FAQ but you don't HAVE to listen to them. Also, allow me to just
mark for spoilers now so that I don't have to during the FAQ. Finally, do not
use this FAQ to make money for yourself. Tell your friends by all means if you
like it but don't attempt to sell or plagiarize this. Now enjoy!

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Support Conversations [SC]:

In Fire Emblem, there are conversations that two characters can have that will
boost stats such as: Attack Strength, Defense, Hit Percentage, and Evasion
Percentage when they stand close together. To achieve a new support
conversation, two characters must participate in a certain number of chapters
together. These numbers vary depending on the pairing. There are three levels
of support: C, B, and A. They will each affect the stats in different ways.
Each character may have up to 5 support conversations, 3 of which can be with
one other character. There are also supports in the game that do not require a
conversation. These conversations will affect the Critical Hit % of the
characters and it will only work when the two characters are adjacent to each
other. These pairings are:

-Ike/Mist: Critical +10%
-Any combination of the three brothers (Oscar, Boyd, Rolf): Critical +10%
-Calill and Largo: Critical +10%
-Tormod and Muarim: Critical +10%
-Geoffrey and Bastian: Critical +10%
-Elincia and Lucia: Critical +10%
-Reyson and Tibarn: Critical +10%
-Rolf and Shinon: Critical +5%
-Marcia and Makalov: Critical +5%
-Lethe and Mordecai: Critical +5%
-Geoffrey and Kieran: Critical +5%
-Geoffrey and Lucia: Critical +5%
-Ulki and Reyson: Critical +5%
-Ulki and Janaff: Critical +5%
-Janaff and Reyson: Critical +5%
-Reyson and Naesala: Critical +5%

Now I will provide a list of all support conversations in their entirety. The
numbers in the parenthesis are the amount of Chapter the characters must be in
together to achieve that level. NOTE: I will not repeat couples under different
orders. Ex. Ike/Titania, Titania/Ike. So whichever of the two people comes
first on the list will have the grouping.

=Ike [I]=

*Titania*

-Titania C(8) [ITC]: Defense +0.5, Hit % +2.5%, Evasion % +5%

Titania: Hey, Ike. Training?
Ike: Yeah. You too, huh? Hey, do you want to spar? I learn a lot when we team
up.
Titania: Really? I'm glad to hear that. I thought you no longer needed my
lessons.
Ike: What are you talking about? You're the one who put the finishing touches
on what swordsmanship I inherited from my father.
Titania: Hmm. I'm honored to hear you say so.
Ike: I mean it.
Titania: But the talent you inherited from your father is one of a kind. I
want you to cherish it.
Ike: Huh... Hey, Titania? When did you meet my father? You used to be a
Crimean knight, right?
Titania: That's right... But it's a long story, and we need to train! Get
ready! Focus!
Ike: Fine...


-Titania B(11) [ITB]: Defense +1, Hit % +5%, Evasion % +10%

Ike: Do you have a moment, Titania?
Titania: Ike! How can I help you?
Ike: Remember what we talked about the other day? About when you met my father?
Titania: Um... Yeah... That...
Ike: I know you don't want to talk about it, so I won't force you or anything.
Titania: It's not like I don't want to. It's just... It's hard to talk about
my past. Still... You deserve to know as much about your father as possible...
All right, I'll tell you.
Ike: Great!
Titania: When I was a Crimean knight, I entered an officer exchange program
and was sent to Gallia. Where your father was. On my first day, they held a
joint training session in the royal hall. That's where I saw Commander Greil's
might for the first time. He took on wave after wave of knights and defeated
them like they were children. His swordsmanship was brilliant... The other
knights barely had time to lift their weapons before Commander Greil had them
on the ground. He was the mightiest warrior I had ever seen. My body...
trembled at the thought of it.
Ike: Whoa.
Titania: I tried to cross swords with him, but he was so far out of my
league... Ha! It was laughable! But I asked him to train me, and he agreed.
After that, whenever we had a spare hour, we would meet and spar. We soon grew
close, and after a few weeks, he invited me to his home. That's when I saw you.
Ike: Me?
Titania: Yes. You were sleeping in your mother's arms, and she was smiling.
You were adorable. The Commander looked at you with such kind eyes... I saw a
different person than the man who wielded a sword.
Ike: I see.


-Titania A(26) [ITA]: Defense +1.5, Hit % +7.5%, Evasion % +15%

Ike: Titania? I wish to thank you.
Titania: W-what? What's with all the formality?
Ike: There's no guarantee that any of us will see tomorrow, and I want to tell
you this while it's still in my head. Will you listen?
Titania: Um... All right, but... what's with you? And what have I done to
deserve your thanks?
Ike: You have done much. You helped my father build this company. He had lost
his wife and had two young children to care for... I wish to thank you for
that.
Titania: ...Oh, Ike...
Ike: I've taken everything in my life for granted, and it was all possible
because of you. My thanks is far too late in coming.
Titania: It's not necessary, Ike. What I did, I did because--
Ike: You loved him. Didn't you?
Titania: ...!!! ...Um...
Ike: Perhaps I'm wrong. Regardless... I stand here alive today because of you.
And I still want to thank you for it. Had you not lent a helping hand, I would
most likely be dead. And my father's life cut short as well. You helped to
keep him alive until the Black Knight brought him down... You made his final
years happy. Thank you.
Titania: Oh, Ike... ...I don't... ...Sniff... ...Sniff... ...Sniff...
Ike: Unlike my father, I lack both experience and strength, but... I'm
learning. Please, keep aiding and supporting me. Please...
Titania: ...Sniff... Of course... Of course I will, Ike.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

*Oscar*

-Oscar C(5) [IOC]: Evasion % +10%

Ike: Hey, Oscar, can you spar with me for a sec... Wait! Where are you going?
Oscar: Sorry, Ike! No time! I have to prepare the evening meal today.
Ike: You? Where's Mist?
Oscar: She's off practicing with her staff. It's been a while since I cooked.
I hope I haven't lost my touch.
Ike: I haven't had one of your suppers in ages! I'm looking forward to it.
Oscar: Really?
Ike: Yeah, of course! You're a great cook! Why do you ask?
Oscar: Well... I never knew that. Mist, Shinon, and Rhys were the only ones
who ever commented on the subtle spices and flavors that I use... I mean, my
brothers are used to my cooking, and Soren hates everything. I think he'd stop
eating if he could... Sure, Commander Greil, Titania, Gatrie, and you ate
everything on the plate. But... I feel like you'd eat anything.
Ike: Oscar, I didn't just shovel the food into my mouth. I enjoyed it! I
really did! Remember the first day that Mist took over your cooking duties?
Just thinking about it makes me ill... Heh! Even my father was having trouble
choking it down! But I think Mist is finally starting to get the hang of it.
Oscar: Just like you're training to improve your swordsmanship, Mist is
training to improve her culinary skills. You should give her more support.
Hearing someone say "Delicious!" is the best encouragement a cook can get.
Ike: I see... Then I'll make sure to say "Delicious!" from now on.
Oscar: Ha ha! Thanks.


-Oscar B(8) [IOB]: Evasion % +20%

Oscar: How's it going Ike?
Ike: Oh, hey, Oscar. I'm fine... Actually, I'm kind of worried about something.
Oscar: Can I help?
Ike: Well, I was trying to figure out how we should fight the laguz bird tribes.
Oscar: That's odd... I was just thinking about the same thing. When they turn
into their true selves, we are forced into a kinds of battle that is difficult
for us.
Ike: You're right about that. The laguz are so strong. I've even seen them
shatter boulders with a single blow. I feel like our weak points are as visible
as a lit torch for the bird tribes. What's more, my sword is useless it they
take to the sky...
Oscar: My advice is to keep engaging them. The more we fight, the more we
learn. Of course, it won't be easy.
Ike: No, but I'm sure we can do it. That's a good idea! Thanks.
Oscar: Ah... Well... Sure. You're pretty amazing, Ike. You know that?
Ike: Hey, come on now. You're the guy with all the experience and talent.
Oscar: Everything I have accomplished comes from hard work and practice. You're
the son of Commander Greil. You have... natural talent. I'd follow you anywhere.
Ike: Uh... Wow. Thanks, Oscar...


-Oscar A(11) [IOA]: Evasion % +30%

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

*Soren*

-Soren C(5) [ISC]: Attack +.5, Evasion % +7.5

Soren: So that's how much we spent... Supplies are running low. We need dried
meat, fresh fruit... Ike? Are you listening?
Ike: Huh? Oh, sorry. I wasn't paying attention.
Soren: I would have never guessed.
Ike: Sorry, Soren. Look, could you run the report by me again?
Soren: You're tired, Ike. You need rest. Go find a cot somewhere.
Ike: You can tell?
Soren: Of course. When you're not feeling well, your left eye twitches.
Ike: That's... odd. I never noticed.
Soren: Get some sleep. I can manage things for a few hours.
Ike: Well, I am pretty beat...
Soren: Go.
Ike: You know, Soren? You're not nearly as insensitive as the others say.
Deep down, you're a big softie.
Soren: Excuse me?
Ike: Oh, nothing. I'm going.
Soren: Mmm. Don't let the bedbugs bite.


-Soren B(12) [ISB]: Attack +1, Evasion % +15%

Soren: ...
Ike: Do you have a second, Soren?
Soren: What is it, Ike?
Ike: What's wrong? You've been quiet and moody for days. What's going on?
Soren: Um... Well, it's...
Ike: Yes?
Soren: ...It's nothing. ... ...You've never worried about who you are, have
you? Your family? Where you came from?
Ike: Who I am...? Well, not really. No. I guess I don't understand what
you're getting at. I had a father and a mother. I don't remember much about
her, but otherwise, no complaints.
Soren: It must be... nice to have loving parents. You need people to
experience your childhood. To help shape the person you will become. Without
an adult around to affirm and support them, a child can't know which path to
take. Or who he really is.
Ike: Don't you have any memory of your parents?
Soren: No. The woman who raised me was not my birth mother. And she wasn't all
that fond of me, anyway... My earliest memories are of her saying, "Why me?
The world isn't fair!" or "Stay away from me, child!" No love. No affection.
She took care of me out of some sense of duty that she didn't really possess.
Ike: ...
Soren: When I was about four, a nearby sage came by and asked to take me in.
He said I possessed rare magical talent. I remember the day clearly. My
caretaker was delighted to give me up. In fact, she seemed almost delirious
with pleasure. Smiling like a madwoman as she handed me over... The sage even
gave her gold as compensation. Not that it was necessary.
Ike: Oh, Soren... I had no idea.
Soren: The sage was old, and knew that death would soon come for him. His only
goal was to teach his art to an apprentice. As time was short, he put me
through terribly rigorous magic training. We worked day and night, without
cease. I didn't even have time to think about who I really was. But it was
still a better life than I had ever known. When the sage died two years later,
I had acquired much magical skill. Perhaps too much for a child of my age...
At any rate, once I had eaten all of the food in the sage's hovel, I left and
walked for days to find help. Upon reaching civilization, I came to another
grim realization... I couldn't speak. Not a word.
Ike: Soren...
Soren: Oh, I could read and write better than most of the villagers. And I
could understand what they said. I just couldn't talk. I couldn't help it. The
woman and the sage both used to hurl words at me. Unkind words, usually. But I
never needed to answer, so--
Ike: Soren!
Soren: Huh? Oh... I apologize, Ike. I should not have made you listen to such
nonsense...
Ike: Soren, it's no nonsense! It's awful! It's the most terrible thing I've
ever heard! Where did this happen? Was it in Begnion?
Soren: No... But, there's more. I haven't told you... About my parents... No,
that's enough. I'm sorry. Excuse me...
Ike: Wait, Soren? Soren! Blast!


-Soren A(19) [ISA]: Attack +1.5, Evasion % +22.5%

Ike: Hey, Soren.
Soren: ...
Ike: I've been thinking a lot about what you said the other day, and there's
something I still don't understand. You survived. You're strong. Why would
you feel insecure about who you are? Tell me. Tell me everything.
Soren: Curse you! Why can't you leave me be?! I don't have any friends, Ike!
I don't have anyone else! If I tell you and you turn on me... I... I... I
don't think I can survive it.
Ike: That's why you have to tell me, Soren. You'll never tell anyone else.
And if you don't tell anyone, you're just going to keep suffering. Look at
you! You're a mess! Come on. Talk to me.
Soren: Ike... I... I...
Ike: Soren, it's me! Trust me. I don't give two figs who your parents are!
I'll stand by you.
Soren: Ike, I... sniff... No, I won't... sniff... Ah, Ike... ...I'm...
Branded. I'm one of the Branded.
Ike: A Branded? What's that?
Soren: It's a cross between a beorc and a laguz. Such a taboo violates
every teaching of the goddess. And of society. We are untouchables.
Abominations. Condemned to a life of hatred and shunning from both races.
Ike: Wait, wait. Hold it a second. Let me make sure that I follow you...
You're part laguz?
Soren: Yeah. This mark on my forehead is the proof. I learned about it
while researching ancient books at the Mainal Cathedral. I always thought it
was a birthmark. Others thought that it was the mark of a Spirit Charmer.
Ike: What's a Spirit Charmer?
Soren: Magic comes from interaction with spirits. If you let one into your
body, it will give you tremendous power... for a price. That's why the old
sage was so interested in me. He thought I had struck such a deal. But
instead, I was just a filthy Branded.
Ike: All right. I understand. So?
Soren: ...What do you mean, "so?"
Ike: So, you have laguz blood in your veins. So, you have a mark to prove it.
So... What's the problem?
Soren: What's the problem...? Don't you find me repugnant!? I work beside you,
eat beside you. I'm nothing! I don't belong anywhere! Doesn't that sicken you?
Ike: No. It doesn't change anything. You're still you, Soren! You're a capable
officer of our army. And my friend. We can't keep going unless you are with
us.
Soren: ...Ike... I thought... I thought you...
Ike: What?
Soren: It was Gallia. The sage lived in Gallia. A few beorcs had settled there
and...
Ike: Gallia? Are you saying...
Soren: When the sage died, no one would help me. I couldn't speak. Couldn't
find food. I was dying. You were the only one who helped. You and your father.
That's why you're my friend. My... only friend.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

*Lethe*

-Lethe C(4) [ILC]: Hit % +5%, Evasion % +5%

Ike: Hiyaaaa! Haaaaaa! Hm? Who's there?
Lethe: Training hard?
Ike: Lethe. Were you watching me?
Lethe: Yep. I'm curious... Our future success will depend in large part on how
well you humans fight. We laguz can't afford to lag behind.
Ike: You always need the upper hand, eh, Lethe?
Lethe: Relax. It's not like I'm going to claw you in the back during a battle.
There's no point in it. Besides, you humans are the only ones who use dirty
tricks like that.
Ike: Oh, I see. So every laguz fights fair and square?
Lethe: Most of us. Not all. Although we know when a laguz is about to use a
cheap trick. We can smell it. I can sniff out a trap from a mile away. Even in
the dark. You can hide from my eyes, but not my nose.
Ike: Lethe? Will you teach me how to fight like a laguz?
Lethe: Sure, I'll take you on. But it's going to hurt! When I fight, it's with
my claws out.
Ike: Good. I look forward to it.


-Lethe B(9) [ILB]: Hit % +10%, Evasion % +10%

Lethe: Hey.
Ike: Lethe. What's up?
Lethe: You fought pretty well the other day. Better than I expected.
Ike: What? Me?
Lethe: You see anyone else?
Ike: No, but... I didn't expect that from you. You laguz have such awesome
natural power, I figure beorc look weak in comparison.
Lethe: Totally different styles of fighting. You don't have the reactions or
control that we do, but you're actually kind of graceful. It must be tough to
use a weapon that's not actually connected to your body. No wonder you train
so much.
Ike: Without teeth or claws, we need our weapons to move like they're a part
of us. So, yeah, that takes a lot of work.
Lethe: Mmm... I see. I may have to train some more. Which reminds me... Do you
remember our bargain?
Ike: Of course! Will you do it?
Lethe: I should ask you. Laguz training is hard. You're going to hurt. And
bleed. Are you ready?
Ike: Let's do it!


-Lethe A(14) [ILA]: Hit % +15%, Evasion % +15%

Lethe: Hello, Ike.
Ike: Hey, Lethe! You ready to punish me some more?
Lethe: You're taking to my training with remarkable skill. I need to keep up.
Ike: You think so? Wow. A compliment from Lethe... Now that's a big deal!
Lethe: What's that supposed to mean? You're not still holding a grudge about
our first meeting, are you?
Ike: No, nothing like that. It's just... You're powerful, you know? If you
compliment me, that means something.
Lethe: Bah! You give me too much credit. ...Um... Say, Ike?
Ike: What?
Lethe: When this war is over, you should... Why don't you come to Gallia? I
mean, not like I care, but--
Ike: Gallia?
Lethe: Right! Well, you could learn even more if you trained in Gallia. It's
hard living for a beorc. But if you can handle it, you could take the
swordsmanship that runs in your blood to another level.
Ike: Only if you're my sparring partner!
Lethe: Meh... Well, if that's what you want... I guess I'd be all right with
that.
Ike: Then life in Gallia may not be so bad.
Lethe: Oh? Well, good. It's settled then. Come see us whenever you're ready. I
might even... look forward to it.
Ike: You have my word.

Ike: Reyson.
Reyson: Oh, Ike. What can I do for you?
Ike: I just came to see how things are going. How are you doing?
Reyson: Fine. No problems.
Ike: No problems? Your face tells me otherwise.
Reyson: Well... we herons are optimistic by nature. So it's hard for me to be
on a battlefield where the air is thick with negative energy. It's... tiring.
But I'm learning to adjust. I hope you'll let me fight beside you to the
bitter end.
Ike: As long as you take care of yourself, I have no complaints. But isn't
there anything I can do to help? Maybe we could have a special supper.
Certain foods tend to restore energy.
Reyson: That's very kind, but my diet... Heh. It's fairly limited. You know,
I used to be disgusted by my thin, frail body. So one time I performed a
little experiment. I got all the goods that Tibarn likes--raw meat, cold
fish, insects--and ate them. I ate them all.
Ike: That doesn't sound good. What happened?
Reyson: I stared death in the face for ten days. You've never seen a laguz so
green! I guess we herons are just meant to eat fruits and nuts for our entire
lives.
Ike: ...I can't imagine. Raw meat? You must have been desperate!
Reyson: I wanted so much to be like Tibarn. Big body, strong wings... With
those features, I felt I could march into Begnion and revenge my brothers all
by myself. I got on my knees and prayed to the goddess every night. Asking
her for power... But to no avail.
Ike: I think I know how you feel... But it's better this way.
Reyson: How do you figure?
Ike: You get sick from negative energy. Imagine if you tried to hurt someone!
You'd lose your lunch!
Reyson: Heh. I guess you're right... At one time, I was so angry about my
lack of strength, so consumed by despair, that I considered forfeiting my
life... But... I'm glad that I am alive. I got to see Leanne because I am
alive.
Ike: Huh. You surprise me, Reyson. You're stronger than you look.
Reyson: If you're talking spiritual strength, I think I'm the best there is!


-Reyson B(8) [IRB]: Hit % +5%, Evasion % +15%

Ike: Reyson!
Reyson: I'm here, Ike. Do you wish to talk strategy?
Ike: Yes. Your participation in the next few battles will be critical... How
are you feeling?
Reyson: Well... I found that negative energy isn't so bad when I fly. Even
feeling a breeze can be a huge help. I can hold up. Don't worry about me.
Ike: You look tired. Exhausted, even. I think I know how King Phoenicis must
feel... I'm sorry for pushing you like this.
Reyson: Saying so is an insult. I choose to be here.
Ike: Look, that's not what I meant... I apologize. I know that you hate
having people fuss over you. It's just--
Reyson: Ike? Be quiet. If you were annoying else, I'd punch you in the nose
and make you be quiet.
Ike: Whoa, easy, Reyson! That's not necessary! And hey... I didn't think that
herons could attack.
Reyson: ...I know how to punch! Although...
Ike: Yes?
Reyson: I suffer more damage than my target.
Ike: What?!
Reyson: When I bashed Duke Tanas's face, he only suffered a bloody nose, but
it cracked the bones in the back of my hand.
Ike: Holy...
Reyson: Indeed.
Ike: ...But it felt good, right?
Reyson: Oh, yeah.

Ranulf: Hey, Ike. Isn't it a little late to be training?
Ike: I haven't had a chance to train today. I try to swing a sword every day,
even if it's just for a little while. It helps me focus and keeps me calm.
Plus it's good practice. Haaaa! Kyaaaaa!
Ranulf: I see. So your strength doesn't just come from your bloodline. It's
also a result of your persistence. No wonder you grow more powerful every
time I see you... Nice. Very nice...
Ike: Haaaaa! And one and... Hiyaaaa!
Ranulf: Oh, sorry. I'm interrupting you. I'll see you la--
Ike: Wait. What do you want? I assume you came out here to tell me something.
Ranulf: Not really. I'm just being a mother cat... No matter how many times
we tell you to take it easy, you're always working. I thought you might take
a break if I came over and talked to you, but... I can see that you're still
crazy. I'll go now.
Ike: You think I'm crazy? How so?
Ranulf: Well... a little crazy, yeah! I've never worked for a leader who's
as blunt and straightforward as you. It's pretty shocking to have a commander
who doesn't care what anyone thinks, no matter how powerful they are.
Ike: Well, that's just my style. I don't have to be like someone else, do I?
Ranulf: Why are you so confident? I don't get it. Normal beorc just do what
people tell them and try not to make a fuss. But not you. I heard you even
yelled at the apostle!
Ike: Yeah, that wasn't my brightest moment.
Ranulf: Then again, worrying about a beorc like this is definitely not normal
laguz behavior. I guess I'm a fish out of water myself... Wait, did I just call
myself a fish?
Ike: Wha--? Ha ha! You're a cat, remember!? I thought you ate fish! Ha ha ha!
Ranulf: Hey! I made you laugh! That's good. That's a good first step.
Ike: Fine, fine! I'll take a break. Um... so what do I do now? Am I supposed
to drink tea or something?
Ranulf: Tea is good. And eat something. Oh, and maybe you should take a...
catnap! Wha ha ha ha!

Ike: Is there something wrong, Princess?
Elincia: Oh... my lord Ike. I was getting prepared for battle, but... I'm
having a hard time attaching this scabbard to my belt.
Ike: Hmm... let me see. Ah... here's the problem. The buckle on the scabbard
isn't fastened. There's a little trick to this. Don't move for a second.
..All right. That should do it!
Elincia: Thank you. I just can't seem to do anything right. I can't even get
myself ready for battle! Everyone else is all suited up.
Ike: Everyone here was the same way when they first started. In fact, it
wasn't all that long ago when I was having a hard time fastening my
scabbard...
Elincia: Really?
Ike: That's right. But my father drilled me hard and tested my swordsmanship
and survival skills before I could eat breakfast. We come from different
worlds, Princess.
Elincia: So that's how you learned so much...
Ike: Well, you don't need to practice so hard. You weren't born to be a
mercenary like the rest of us war dogs. You'll just get yourself killed if you
jump into this rough and nasty war unprepared.
Elincia: I understand...
Ike: Just don't worry about it. There's no shame in asking for help from the
rest of us. We'll be there to back you up.

Boyd: Ninety-eight... Ninety-nine... One hundred! Done! Bleh. What's the point
in swinging an axe by myself? I should probably try to find Ike... But maybe a
quick nap first--
Titania: Boyd!
Boyd: Aaah! Titania!
Titania: Where do you think you're going? Are you blowing off your training
again?
Boyd: No! I'm not slacking, I swear! I was just... uh... going to work out
with Ike! You know me--I'm all about the fighting!
Titania: Boyd, I know that training is tough. But if you make light of it,
you're closer to death than you ever want to be. You're a mercenary. When
you're confused or exhausted during a long battle, instincts make all the
difference.
Boyd: But, Titania... I just can't get into training when I don't have a
partner.
Titania: Can't get into it? Boyd? Don't make me chew you out again.
Boyd: Joking! I-I'm just joking! What I just said? All a joke! Ha ha! Ha?
Haaaaa... Oh, I'm just dying to do some practice swings! Hyaaa! Boy,
training is so much fun! Isn't that right, Titania!? Whooo! I loooove
training!
Titania: Darn it, Boyd, why are you so lazy? You're a natural fighter, you
know that? You could even be a better fighter than me if you just put your
mind to it. Anyway... keep practicing.

Hiiiyaaa! Kiyaaaaa! Whaaaaaa!
Titania: Boyd, I haven't said a word.
Boyd: Oh, yeah, I guess not. I'm so used to all our conversations starting
that way...
Titania: I didn't come here to chew you out. You don't need that anymore.
We're fighting intense battles now, and you can't let your guard down. But you
know that, right?
Boyd: I guess so.
Titania: Your training has become instinct. That's all you need to survive.
You've learned that lesson, Boyd. You'll be all right.
Boyd: Shoot!
Titania: W-what? Did I say something wrong?
Boyd: This doesn't sound right, Titania. I feel like... like you're praising
me.
Titania: Well, I am. You're a true warrior now. One of our best.
Boyd: Oh, man, this is making my head spin... It's like a bad omen or
something. I think it's scarier than being chewed out.
Titania: I see... So you want me to chew you out, huh? Great. I can do that.

can't even chew you out for old time's sake.
Boyd: I don't want you to yell at me again. That's not why I'm here. I just...
Is there anything you want, Titania?
Titania: I can't think of anything in particular. Why do you ask?
Boyd: We got a big reward the other day, you know? So I wanted to buy you
something. As thanks for helping me.
Titania: Aha! Now that you're a true warrior, you've learned some chivalry as
well!
Boyd: Heh. So, name it. Anything. New chain mail? Gauntlets? How about a
killer axe?
Titania: Thanks for the offer, Boyd. But you earned that money. You should
spend it on yourself.
Boyd: Don't you get it!? I want to give you a gift!
Titania: Boyd? What are you--
Boyd: Every time I look at you, Titania... I think that you're the prettiest
person I've ever seen!
Titania: Uh... Um, thank you, Boyd... But I... Look, you and me, we're--

Titania: How are you feeling, Rhys?
Rhys: Good. No fevers or shaking today! Thanks for asking.
Titania: You know, I was just thinking about the first time we met. It was
almost a year ago to this very day.
Rhys: Was it really...? Oh, you're right! My, time does fly.
Titania: Of course, I don't remember much of the initial encounter, since I
was unconscious and bleeding! Ha! Remember that? I don't know why we didn't
bring a healer with us that day... Fighting bandits without a staff? Not
smart!
Rhys: It was lucky that I found you. I didn't usually venture that deep into
the forest, but I was short on medicinal herbs.
Titania: Yeah, those bandits were a rough lot... Their stomping ground was
right near your village, actually. It's all coming back to me now... They
were tougher than I'd thought. We took most of them out with ease, but one
fled into the woods and I gave chase. Big mistake. My horse got hung up in
the undergrowth, and that bandit got the drop on me... At least Shinon hit
him before I was killed.
Rhys: Gatrie and Shinon were both really worried when they brought you back
to my parents' house.
Titania: Really? I didn't know that. Hmm... I didn't think Shinon ever
worried about anyone... But they stayed with me until my wounds were healed,
I remember that. You know, if it wasn't for your good work, I wouldn't have
been able to use an axe anymore! I really appreciate it.
Rhys: No, I should thank you. You convinced Greil to hire me! And now I can
send money back to my parents. They're both so old, and I'm their only
source of income.
Titania: Your parents were very kind. Especially your mother... And she made
that great wildberry pie! To repay their kindness, I will protect their only
son no matter what.
Rhys: Oh, I appreciate that, Titania!

Titania: Yep. I get antsy if I don't train every day... Kiyaaaa! Haaaaaa!
Whew!
Rhys: Would you mind if I joined you for a while?
Titania: What? You want to train? Really? Well, no, of course I wouldn't mind.
Um... why?
Rhys: I was hoping to find some way to... defend myself. I hate being a burden
on everyone.
Titania: Rhys! You're a healer, not a fighter. That's not your fault. I don't
even think you know which end of a sword to stick in someone! Maybe...
Rhys: Yes, Titania?
Titania: I just wondered if you'd be happier had you not rescued me. Perhaps
living in peace with your parents is more your style.
Rhys: Oh, I don't know. That life wasn't easy. I have a small, frail body,
and there were few jobs for me in our village. My parents were always worried
about me. I was sick all the time, and constantly getting bumps and scrapes.
They only agreed to let me follow you because you were a strong mercenary
group! They figured I would be safe.
Titania: There must be safer jobs out there! You could be a fisherman, or a
botanist! Do you like plants?
Rhys: Oh, that would bore me to tears! ...Titania... I love this job. I don't
want to quit. I was a sickly child, and I didn't get out much. I used to sit
inside and listen to the other children play... In those years, my uncle took
me under his wing. He was a mercenary, too. He used to spin unbelievable yarns
about his exotic travels and fantastic battles... It inspired me.
Titania: I had no idea!
Rhys: Kinda funny, isn't it? You know, I shouldn't say this, but... Sometimes,
when we fight one long battle after another... It makes me happy. I feel like
I belong.
Titania: You're a big part of our company, Rhys. I'm glad to hear you say so.

Titania: Sure, go ahead! Looks like you're getting your strength back. You
look healthy.
Rhys: Yes. Thanks to you.
Titania: Oh, I didn't do much... Say, Rhys? What do you think of Ike?
Rhys: Ike? Well, I'm not the person to be judging another's battle skills, so
I guess you want to know my take of the man... Ike... Well, despite his
appearance... and the occasional angry outburst... he can be very thoughtful.
Most importantly, he has doggedness, determination, and grit. He possesses
the strength to turn ideal into reality. I think he is the right choice to
lead the Greil Mercenaries.
Titania: I agree with you. But he is still young. He still has much to
learn, and I wonder how those experiences will shape him. ...Frankly, I'm a
little concerned.
Rhys: Why is that?
Titania: Our company is only going to grow, and he will soon face many hard
choices... and also some temptations. Oh, we'll make money... But we're going
to get job offers that will result in people getting hurt. Or worse. And to
feed and equip a group of this size, we'll need jobs with a certain amount of
risk.
Rhys: Commander Greil faced those same problems, didn't he?
Titania: He did, but Greil... He was different. The original Greil Mercenaries
were famous for not being typical mercenaries. Sometimes we took on jobs for
free... and we helped countless people at the expense of our own coffers.
Rhys: I believe that Ike holds the same ideals as Commander Greil.
Titania: I'm sure he does. ...Yes, I'm sure of it. Ike will definitely find
reasons for us to fight and live. He'll pick the right path. I won't have to
tell him anything. All we have to do is believe in Ike and follow him... to
the end.
Rhys: Agreed.

Now, give me some of those... Wow. Talk about a pile of laundry...
Mist: Yeah. I know I can't wash up after the entire Crimean army, but I
thought I could at least help the Greil Mercenaries. It's a good way to thank
the others for all their help.
Titania: Well, it's a thoughtful gesture, but make sure you don't turn it into
a full-time job, all right? Oh, this one is ripped.
Mist: Oh, that's my brother's. He's been fighting too long in these old
things. Look at it! It's practically falling apart! Next time we're in a town,
I'm going to make him buy a new shirt. If he's going to be general, he'd
better look the part!

sleeve is coming apart. See?

benefit from a shopping trip. We'll go together, you and I.

I'm not sure I've got the time, really...
Titania: I'm telling you, Mist, you're pushing yourself too hard. Everyone
appreciates your work, but you're leaving no time to relax!
Mist: Yeah, but... doing the chores helps me relax! What? Don't look at me
that way!

The year we completed horsemanship? There was a final race at the end of the
year... My beloved horse and I were flawless, but you beat us by the smallest
of margins!
Oscar: Huh? Oh, are you talking about that race you challenged me to? Yeah,
that was fun... But I thought the distance between us was at least three
lengths--

I marked you as my archrival! Don't pretend not to care!

What say you!? Rejoin! For king and country! The homeland is in danger! Any
who used to be Crimean knights should come rushing to her aid!
Oscar: You have a point. And I'm glad I'm able to help rebuild the homeland,
even if it's as a mercenary.
Kieran: I'm not here to make you glad! I'm here to convince you to be a knight
again! You're not fulfilling your allegiance to sweet Crimea by being a

the Greil Mercenaries. Forever.

homeland, Crimea? A-ha! Could it be the nice fat salary!? That's it! I

get about half of that now.

Kieran: You guessed it! I'm a Crimean knight... and I'm very proud of that
fact! No better friend! No worse enemy! A knight distinguishes himself in
battle, returning in triumph to hear adulation from the people and praise
from his lord! When you make your name as a knight, everyone knows you! The
world is laid at your feet! And above all else, you can defend our beloved
Crimea and her people with your own two hands!!
Oscar: That certainly sounds nice.
Kieran: It's better than the life of a mercenary, cavorting with outlaws and
entering battles from which you never return! Why, Oscar? Why!? I just don't
get it!
Oscar: ...
Kieran: You're my archrival! That's an honor! I know your true skills better
than anyone. If you say you will come back, I'll do everything I can to
recommend your honorable return to the knights!
Oscar: Heh. Thanks, Kieran. But I'm not returning. After joining the
mercenaries, I had a chance to see the world. I saw grief with my own eyes.
People subjugated by the powerful, losing everything and dying alone...
Countries can't save people like that. It's up to men like us--men who are in
the thick of the action--to aid those who cannot aid themselves. Besides, I
have no use for honor. As long as I can defend the family called the Greil
Mercenaries, I'm happy.
Kieran: Bla... Blast! You've outdone me again! How can this be? I don't know
why or how, but... I feel you beat me yet again!
Oscar: You didn't lose. There are many things that a brave knight like
yourself can do that we mercenaries cannot. So let's both do our best. We may
stand on different sides of the field, but we aspire to the same ideal.
Kieran: I see... Then I will ask you no more!! Watch me! When Crimea is fully
restored, my distinguished services will resonate throughout the ages! You'll
hear about it wherever you are! I'll make sure of it!
Oscar: ...Yes, I'm sure you will. And when I hear your brave tales, I'll toast
your success!

Mist: Tee hee!
Boyd: Who the--? Mist! Ooo! What a jerk!
Mist: Hey, you're the one who tried to blow off training! If you keep ignoring
your drills, I'm going to become a better mercenary than you!
Boyd: Better than me? Ha. HA! Dream on, kid! You've got some nerve saying that
to me!
Mist: Kid? You better remember who my father is! Fighting ability runs in the
blood, you know.
Boyd: Aw, that's a bunch of hooey! Survival on a battlefield depends on
experience and luck. Nothing more! If you dive into battle with a conceited
attitude, you'll end up dead no matter what blood is in your veins!

Boyd: Huh?
Ulki: I thought you called me. Is that not the case?
Boyd: Wha--? Are you talking about what I just said? You heard that?
Ulki: Clearly.
Boyd: Th-that's incredible! I was just mumbling, and you were all the way
over there!
Ulki: So. What do you want from me?
Boyd: Nothing. I was just noticing your features. You have such an
interesting face!
Ulki: ...Do you have a problem with my face? There's nothing special about it.
Boyd: No, no problem! It's so tough! Manly! It's the best! I wish it was my
face! Um...
Ulki: ...
Boyd: ...
Ulki: Well, you seem... healthy. And you have good hair. For a beorc. I also
like your large arms.
Boyd: Really?
Ulki: Oh, I have an errand to run. Good-bye.
Boyd: Yeah, my arms are pretty tough, huh? You know what? I bet I'll get along
with these laguz just fine! Yeah.

-Ulki B(5) [BUB]: Attack +2, Defense +1, Hit % +5%

Boyd: Hey, it's you! What's up, my hawk brother?
Ulki: Oh, it's the... large-armed beorc. I... um... haven't seen you lately.
Unless we're in battle.
Boyd: You got that right! Oh, I'm Boyd. We're buddies now, so you can call me
by name.
Ulki: Very well. I am Ulki. But I ask that you call me that name instead of...
hawk brother.
Boyd: Yeah, sure. Whatever you want. So, Ulki. What are you doing in a place
like this?
Ulki: I was listening to the little birds chirp. The song soothes me.
Boyd: Really? ...Nope. I can't hear anything. You must have really good ears.
Ulki: Mmm...
Boyd: You know, I really envy you bird tribes. Being able to fly is the
greatest thing ever! You're something else in a fight, too! I can't believe
how you tear through guys. Oh, and it's weird how much we look alike! I mean,
when you're not shifted. And except for the wings and stuff...
Ulki: ...
Boyd: Oh, hey, sorry. I'm doing all the talking. Sometimes I just start
rambling on... If I'm bothering you, just say so.
Ulki: ...Sorry...
Boyd: What's wrong?
Ulki: I am... the worst.
Boyd: Huh? Hey! What's gotten into you?

-Ulki A(8) [BUA]: Attack +3, Defense +1.5, Hit % +7.5%

Boyd: There you are! Wait a sec, Ulki!
Ulki: ...
Boyd: Why are you avoiding me? Did I make you mad or something?
Ulki: Boyd...
Boyd: I thought we were friends. I guess we can't be friends because I'm a
beorc. Is that it?
Ulki: No... You are... good. It's me. I'm the worst.
Boyd: You called yourself that the other day, too. What are you getting at?
Ulki: Mmm... When you first spoke to me... I was suspicious. When a beorc like
you speaks to a laguz like me... I thought you were plotting something.
Boyd: Er... But you said nice things about me when we first met! Were you
lying?
Ulki: I thought the exchanging of lies upon a first meeting was a beorc
tradition. You also gave me a series of flattering compliments that were not
true, no?
Boyd: No, they were true! Well, mostly... Look, I was nervous! I'm not that
good at talking to new people.
Ulki: I checked you out when we parted company. I investigated your name. Your
background. I checked everything.
Boyd: Yowza! Really? So what did you find?
Ulki: Boyd of the Greil Mercenaries. You are a skilled fighter who says what's
on his mind. It is just as you seemed.
Boyd: ...
Ulki: Even though you showed me goodwill from the very beginning... I had no
trust in you. I thought you were... mocking me. Or setting me up for a trap.
That's why I am the worst. I am not worthy of being your friend.
Boyd: Ha ha ha!
Ulki: What is it?
Boyd: We're so alike! At first, I was sure that you would hate me, or claw out
my eyes, or... something. I didn't think I could just hang out with you like
Ike does. He's just so darn natural about everything! But then I happened to
talk to you, and it was really easy! That made me pretty happy. So after that,
I tried to get to know you. I even followed you around the battlefield.
Ulki: I see.
Boyd: Look, beorc can be a bunch of jerks. I don't blame you for checking me
out. Heck, I know what we did to your people. But now it's gotta stop. Now
that you know I'm clean, you have to stop putting up walls. We'll never
understand each other if you're like that. So tell me straight, yes or no? Are
we friends or what, Ulki?
Ulki: Yes. I'm sorry, Boyd. If you can forgive me, I want to be your friend.
Boyd: Forgive you? Pah! I wasn't even mad! I was going to be your friend from
the very beginning!

Take this weapon, cur!
Rhys: Um... Oh, hello, Mia. What is this? A sword? Yes, I think that's
right... Ooof! It's heavy!
Mia: Yessir! Who would have thought it was gonna be you!? Funny, that. Now...
Get ready! En guarde!
Rhys: Yaaaa! Wait! S-stop, please! I don't know what's going on! I c-can't use
weapons!
Mia: Whaaat!? Oh, come on. You can use them a little, right? Riiiight?
Rhys: No! I've never even touched one before... B-but if you just want me to
hold it, I can. Hmmm... I hold this end, right?
Mia: ...Oh, this is so disappointing! I had my fortune read the other day, and
the old crone told me that I'd soon come across my one true foe! "With white
robes flowing in the breeze, your archrival rides toward you..." Oh, I was so
looking forward to it!
Rhys: Um... sorry to disappoint you. I'm pretty sure that it's not me.
Mia: Aw, it's not your fault, Rhys. I was just prepped for a big fight with my
archrival, and then you came walking by... Thought maybe it was you, you know?
Rhys: Um... I can just stand here and hold the sword if you want to hit it a
few times.
Mia: Nah, forget it. I don't want you to get hurt. I'll give up for today...
Shucks.

-Mia B(8) [RMB]: Attack +2, Defense +1, Hit % +5%

Rhys: Oh, hello, Mia. Um... You're not going to throw a sword at me again, are
you?
Mia: Huh? Oh, heya, Rhys. I was hoping to run into someone today... And guess
what? You showed up!
Rhys: Ahhh! Not that fortune-telling again! L-look, I d-didn't mean to
interrupt you... Let me just back away now...
Mia: No! Stick around! I could be wrong. Maybe fortune-telling can't predict
the future after all... Too bad! That crone had a great reputation. Wait...
Maaaaaybe...
Rhys: Yes?
Mia: Do you want to train with me, Rhys?
Rhys: Huh?
Mia: Oh, why didn't I see it before! You have what it takes to be a legendary
swordsman! You just don't realize it yet. There is awesome potential within
you. And when you finally realize it, you'll end up clashing with me as my
grand archrival!
Rhys: Hah! Haaa... Um... I don't think that's likely to happen, Mia.
Although... it's true that I once wanted to be a fighter, back when I was a
frail child.
Mia: Aha! I knew it! You can't give up unharnessed talent like yours just
because you're frail! Give it a try. C'mon! I'll train you myself! We'll start
with the basics.
Rhys: You... will?
Mia: Of course... even if I am training the man that will one day be my most
hated rival! We better get cracking!

-Mia A(12) [RMA]: Attack +3, Defense +1.5, Hit % +7.5%

Mia: Uhhh... look, I'm really sorry. It looks like I pushed you a little hard.
Rhys: No... I wanted to be a myrmidon. And I had fun... Well... before the
cramps started. Oooh, the cramps... Yaaaaa...
Mia: Are you sure you're well? You've been running a fever for days! Are you
really going to battle like this?
Rhys: It'll be fine. I'm not overdoing it. I'll just support everyone from the
rearguard. And I'll have you looking out for me, right?
Mia: Of course! I feel responsible for your safety. I always try to look out
for you and make sure you're holding up. You know, I've been thinking for a
bit... And... Um... And I've decided to stop believing in fortune-telling.
Rhys: Well... maybe the fortune's meaning was just mixed up--
Mia: Hogwash! No more excuses! It's all a bunch of hooey! But hey, wait a
second... "With white robes flowing in the breeze, your archrival rides toward
you..." ...RIDES toward you... Could he be a mounted soldier and not a
myrmidon?
Rhys: Huh?
Mia: You may be horse-riding material, Rhys. Yeah, that's it! Marching is a
lot easier on horseback. Wouldn't that be better for you?
Rhys: What!? Me on h-horseback!?
Mia: Yeah! You wear white, too! Don't you think you'd look dashing on
horseback!? Swing your staff from the top of a horse and I'll fight in style
beside you!
Rhys: Whoa... hold it right there, Mia...
Mia: All right! It's settled, then! We've got to get you training!
Rhys: Hold it! You've got the wrong guy...
Mia: No, I don't. We're destined to meet!
Rhys: We are?
Mia: Yes! I can't think of anyone else that could be the man of my destiny!
Rhys: D-destiny!? Wait a second... I thought I was your archrival!

Did something happen?
Rolf: Nope. I just ran because I saw you! Say, how are you feeling?
Rhys: Today I feel fine, thanks. I did light exercise this morning and
finished all my breakfast.
Rolf: Oh, I'm glad to hear that! When it's hard for you, let me know! I
remember when you used to get sick and stay in bed all the time! But here you
are, fighting every day.
Rhys: Ha! I remember those days... This new job is hard sometimes, but it's
nice to be with everyone.
Rolf: I know! All that you and me and Mist ever did was stay behind at the
stupid fort while everyone else was fighting. Being left alone was sad and
scary, huh?
Rhys: Yes, I suppose it was... Remember the time we heard Commander Greil
discussing that dangerous mission in the strategy room? When our friends
left the fort, the three of us prayed so hard for their safe return... Those
were the longest days of my life.
Rolf: That's why I'm scared to fight sometimes... But I still think it's good
that we're fighting together now!
Rhys: Positive thoughts are always a help. It's pointless to focus on the
negative all the time.
Rolf: You said it, Rhys! Let's think positively! Otherwise, I...
Rhys: Otherwise what, Rolf?
Rolf: Oh, um... nothing! I gotta go see Mist now. See you later, Rhys!

Map Legend:

G=Greil

This is the easiest mission I have ever experienced in a Fire Emblem game. All
you have to do is beat Boyd in a fight and then beat Greil. Move as far as you
can towards Boyd and then move towards him again on your next turn and attack
him. Attack him again on your next turn and he will go down. Greil will appear
in the spot that I have marked. Use a vulnerary and then Greil will come and
attack you on his turn. Attack him on your turn. He still won't go down and
will attack you on his turn. Now he will be defeated and you've beaten the
mission. Yay!

T=Tree

Objective: Seize

This mission is very simple, there are only 7 enemies including the boss, who
doesn't move. First of all, don't worry about the house with the two enemies
next to it, there is no possible way to prevent it from being burned to my
knowledge. With that said, start by having Oscar visit the house right next to
the party in order to gain a Steel Sword. Make sure you quickly get around to
the other houses to prevent them from being destroyed. The myrmidon in the top
right of the map will drop an Iron Sword, so make sure to get that. Once you
have killed all of the enemies and gotten to all of the houses, go and take on
the boss.

he gets hit have Oscar or Titania rescue him. Then have Boyd attack. Lather,
rinse, repeat (if necessary.)  He will heal slightly every turn, but don't
worry about it. Have Ike seize the gate and you're finished!

Objective: Rout (Kill all enemies)

This is another very straightforward level. There are nine enemies including
the boss;however, this time you don't have Titania to help you out until the
beginning of turn three. First off, have Oscar run north a bit and kill the
myrmidon there. The myrmidon will drop a vulnerary. One main thing to remember
about this level is DON'T RUSH!! Your units will be killed if you rush into
this fight. Let some of the enemies come to your party before you move forward.
At the beginning of turn three when Titania arrives have her talk to Ike for a
short scene. The unit next to the northern healhedge will drop a Steel Axe
after being killed, so give this to Boyd or Titania.

him from all sides and he will go down easily. WARNING!: He does move so make
sure you check his attack range.

Objective: Defeat Boss

This level can be a little tricky. First of all you need to make sure that the
party progresses quickly because Marcia will appear in the marked space after
the players turn on turn 2 and you need Ike ready to talk to her or she will be
killed. Although she won't join this chapter, if you talk to her now she will
appear in a few chapters and join the party. First off, have someone visit the
house nearby and you will get a Elixir. Also, remember this face for later in
the game. Progress quickly, killing as many units as possible. This mission is
relatively easy if played correctly.

This guy is the first boss who isn't terribly easy. He can hit for a lot, but
he can also BE hit for a lot. He isn't too accurate and he isn't fast. Hit him
with Shinon from a distance and then finish him off with the unit of your
choice. He will drop quickly. WARNING: He will move so watch his attack range.

Objective: Defeat Boss

This level is a bit tricky because both Soren and Rhys need to be protected.
There are a lot of enemies and you only have 4 units capable of killing most
units in one round. You should wait at the beginning of the level for a little
while and whittle down the enemy numbers. Once you feel confident go and move
out slowly. Don't be afraid to take your time during this mission. Don't get
frustrated if you have to start over a few times.

This guy is the first sophisticated boss you've met, so naturally he will have
more skills than the bandit bosses. His defense and strength are pretty high.
But if you notice his resistance stat. Hmm, we just got a mage! So use Soren,
but be careful because he has a Javelin. Make sure you rescue Soren if he gets
hit. If you need to, slap the Regal Sword on Ike and have him chop this guy up.
He isn't too difficult. WARNING: The boss moves so check his range.

Objective: 6 Turns Defense

This mission has two strategies: Wait it out for 6 turns, or move forward and
take out every enemy. I prefer the first option, which is just to block all the
open entry points to the flashing blue space with your strongest units and
leave Rhys and Soren inside. The other method however, must be approached more
cautiously. the boss will drop an Ashera Icon, which raises Luck by two. There
is also a myrmidon next to the boss toting a Iron Blade he's just dying to give
up (no pun intended.) For this strategy you should have Titania head to the
left and take out the few enemies there. Have the rest of your party move
slowly down the main path. Just don't rush and be careful. you should make it
to the boss in six turns or less.

This guy is no pushover. He has high Strength and Defense, but he is not as
strong as Maijin from the last level. He is slow and has no resistance. He will
go down pretty easily. Use whoever you like against this guy. WARNING: He will
move so check his range.

Objective: Escape (Have Ike reach the flashing yellow space)

This mission isn't too tricky. You should split your party into two groups.
Have one group, led by a strong unit, head to the right. This group should not
contain both Boyd and Titania because there are predominately lance-wielders
both ways, so you'll want one of them in each group. The other group (heading
left) should have Soren because there is a enemy Knight at the end of the
bridge. Have your party regroup into one large group just before the boss and
then head to him.

Skills: Serenity- Halves the effects of Biorhythm.
Weapon: Short Spear
Drop: Short Spear

This is the first classed up boss you've had to face. He isn't terribly strong
or terribly defensive. However he is pretty fast and very accurate. He also has
the ability two attack indirectly, so be careful to keep weaker defense units
away. He shouldn't be a problem to bring down.

Objective: Rout (Kill all enemies)

One thing to point our about this level is that the boss and his group of
enemies will not appear in the marked spaces until turn 5. Shinon and Gatrie
will also appear in the marked spaces on turn 3. A thief will appear in the
marked space on turn 3 as well. With that said, split your party into two
groups with one heading up and one heading left. Like in the last level, make
sure that Boyd and Titania aren't in the same party. Have Soren in the party to
the left to take out the enemy Knights. Make sure you don't rush and you should
be able to take this level out. Make sure you get the chests. The one on the
right contains an Armorslayer, and the ones on the left contain a Ward staff
and a Miracle scroll. When Mia appears at the end of player turn 1 make sure
you have Ike near her so she can talk to him and join.

Weapon: Elfire

This guy is a pushover. Once you have taken out his obscenely large group of
guards he will fall easily. His defense is very low and his attack is barely
average. Have a strong physical unit take him out. He will not move but if you
are within two spaces of him he will attack.

Objective: 8 Turns Defense

There are two strategies to this level. One is to just set up a strong
perimeter and hold out for 8 turns. The other is to split your party into three
groups and spread out to kill everything. The first strategy is much easier but
you will miss out on a Red Gem, possibly a new Party Member and a lot of
experience to boot. If you want to spread out them divide your party into three
groups of two, with Rhys tagging along with one. Have one of your strongest
head down towards the boss (preferably Titania or Boyd because they are axe
wielders.) Make sure that Ike is in the group heading left so that he can speak
with Ilyana and recruit her. However you split up, make sure that one group
isn't too weak and make sure that you don't leave the space you are guarding
open to an enemy. With that said, wreak some havoc!

Weapons: Steel Lance, Short Spear

This boss isn't very tough, he is slow and not that accurate. He has pretty
high defense and attack however. If you send in a strong axe wielder he will go
down easily. The Priest next to him is carrying a Red Gem by the way, so kill
him for it!

Note: I'm not positive but I think that if you kill the boss the reinforcements
will stop.

Objective: Seize

This mission is a bit tough if not handled correctly. First of all, tell the
Partners to Avoid immediately. With that said, most people seem to want to move
down first. THIS IS A STUPID COURSE OF ACTION. Head to the left first and move
your party to the beach and kill everyone here. Note the bandits that appear to
the north. Nedata is a very formidable opponent, though there is no advantage
to killing him aside from experience. Make sure you speak to Marcia with Ike.
Then, head up the small path with two strong units in front and kill the
enemies here. This way you make sure to save the houses and to kill all threats.

Skills: Counter
Weapons: Knight Killer, Javelin

This is probably the first challenging boss of the game. He has good strength,
skill, speed, and defense. His only weakness is his resistance. Hit him with
Soren or Ilyana and a strong axe wielder and he will go down. Make sure that if
you can't kill him, to move your magic user because he can switch over to a
Javelin and hit them hard. Also, don't use Oscar or Titania against this guy
because he carries a Knight Killer that will slaughter them. The Arms Scroll
item that he drops is very good for Rolf or Mist, because it increases their
weapon level by one.

Objective: Escape

In this chapter there is a way to get through without fighting anyone. This is
a very hard process and a full FAQ on it is available in Ask_B_007's FAQ. I
will cover the bust through strategy. When you go out and attack a enemy, the
unit will alert his buddies and a bunch of reinforcements will appear as
marked. You should leave about 4 strong units in the beginning of the level in
order to kill some of the reinforcements. Move your main party to the first
door. Break/open it and have Ike speak to Sephiran. He is not recruitable, but
he may just be back. Keep moving to the right and take out the next large force
of enemies there. Open/break the door. Have Oscar speak to Kieran and then keep
moving north. Don't worry about speaking to Brom. Open/break Nephenee's cell
door and have Ike speak to her. Then move to the right with Volke and have him
open the door and rob the chest containing a Statue Frag. Meanwhile, your main
party should be handling the enemies at the top of the map. Then, have some
strong units head into the room to take out the boss. Have Volke get the chests
containing a Counter Scroll, a Javelin, a Short Axe, and a Steel Lance. Have
Ike escape and you're done.

This guy is pretty tough. He has very high strength and defense. He isn't very
slow, so you may not be able to double him. He drops the almighty Master Seal
however! He will move away from the wall so surround him and bring him down.
Use ranged attacks if you want to be safe. Don't be frustrated if he kills you
a few times.

Objective: Arrive

First of all, did you recognize the character who was speaking to the boss? Its
the man from the house in chapter three. This level is not hard at all. First
off, split your party into two groups. One containing Lethe or Mordecai heading
up, and the other heading left. Once you've gone left, have your party split
again. One to head north of the two houses, and one to head south of them.
Eliminate all the enemies and keep moving towards the boss. Regroup before you
get there. Once you are in the range of the boss the Black Knight will appear
on the marked space. I wouldn't recommend trying to fight him because unless
you have a VERY STRONG level 20/20, which I don't think is possible, then you
can't beat him. When Jill, the Wyvern Knight, appears with her troupe on the
marked spaces, do not approach. You can't recruit her this chapter and she
won't pursue, so just leave her alone.

This guy is a force to be reckoned with. He can attack indirectly and he can
slaughter Laguz. He has high defense and resistance. His attack and speed
aren't to shabby either. But if you beat him you will get your second Master
Seal. I wouldn't recommend using Master Seals, but you can sell them for 5000
bucks. After beating him, make sure you get someone to the Arrive Point quickly
so that you don't get killed by the Black Knight.
