| Hints, Tips & Tricks |
When someone's talking, press Z to see the whole script for that chapter. It only includes stuff you've seen, though.
Obtain the Ashera StaffDuring Chapter 22 (Solo), your up against a bunch of Daein Mercenaries who have taken up refuge in a Church, and geuss what? They're using Priests as Roadblocks to stop u from advancing. Now this can be tricky, but its easy. Firstly, there are three Bishops (Staffs and light magic) going up the middle hall way, when following this path, unequip any long ranged weapons and keep your spellcasters out. Use shove to beat the preists and bishops out of your way and kill the boss as fast as posible (theres no turn limit, its just to be safe). If u succeed in not killing any Preists or Bishops, at the end of the mission they'll give you the Ashera Staff. Its a "S" level staff that heals all allied units to their full health and recovers status alinments.
Submitted By: MorganReceive the Knight RingOn Chapter 19 (Entrusted) your path is litered with Daien forces who have joined up with the Kilvas Ravens, the bad part is that the King of the Kilvas has joined the fray and is trying to kill you as well. Now, u need to be fast inorder to get this rare item. On your first turn, head straight north (if u can, take out the ballista as fast as u can). When your enemy's turn comes around, the King will Transform to his Raven self. Now, he has a unique skill called vortex that works like the Magic Weapon "Wind". Study how far he can strike and position a strong resistant character just within range of his skill. He'll swoop down and attack. Now, for this to work, you'll need both Reyson, Janaff and/or Uliki (the other Hawk Laguz). Have Janaff fly out to the King and talk to him. On his next turn he'll by-pass your units and go straight for Reyson (dont worry he wont attack him). They exchange words and the King will fly off. Now, if u havnt killed ANY of the Kilvas (meaning DONT ATTACK THEM!!) he'll give u the knight ring as a token of thanks. The Knight ring would make any unit of yours be like a mounted unit (meaning you'll be able to move after your main action)
Submitted By: MorganRecruit Nasir or EnaDuring Chapter 27, after Ike has reached the "Seize" square, Ike and Mist will run a head. Now this is a "Pick your Path" option. When Ike and Mist run ahead they'll run into the Black Knight. You can either revenge your fathers death by deafeating the Black Knight, or go to the "Escape" squares to the South, either way, the Black Knight dies. If u kill him, he dies, if u escape, the tower comes crashing down around him. But, it'll decide who u get on the next mission. If you escape, Nasir will die while trying to save his friends and Ena will join your party over greif of her Grandfather (Shes a Red Dragon Laguz) if u attack the Black Knight (not recommended if your below lv15, the Aether skill is also an added bonus) then Nasir will escape and you'll get him instead (a White Dragon Laguz....more Powerful than Ena)
Submitted By: MorganTriangle attackThis is a special attack that can be done with Boyd, Rolf, and Oscar. They all must be able to use a bow, meaning Boyd needs to be a warrior and Oscar must be given the ability to use bows. Form a triangle around the target and choose one of the brothers to do the attack. Note: You must see two conversations between the three at your base. Make sure to check the "Info" option frequently.
