That chapter isn’t too difficult actually. Just know who to go up against and with which units. My units were already strong enough at that point to take down multiple enemies with little damage, so just place them accordingly. Like how Oni Savages were dealt with by Corrin and Selena, Camilla dealt with Pegasi, and how Niles and Nyx took care of Archers. It takes a bit of trial and error, but it can be cleared in maybe 4 tries. Way less than I spent in later chapters of the game.
I ended up moving all my units together to the left and then killed all of them on that side and moved them to the other side. Surprisingly I was able to kill the boss right on time by turn like 19
Oh, I thought you two were talking about Chapter 10. Um… yeah, Chapter 25. A bit frustrating with the right side, but it’s still a fun chapter, and the turn limit was just right for me. Boss itself is quite easy once you activate the Dragon Vein.
Oh you were talking about chapter 10? Chapter 10 didn’t seem to hard for me either. That is of course, ignoring the fact that I literally reset the entire file because I realized that I f*cked up real hard when I heart sealed my avatar and didn’t save before. That made chapter 8 (which actually isn’t that hard) and 10 basically unbeatable.
The chapter with the pots was probably my favorite. It was hard but I liked its originality, it was refreshing.
Fire Emblem.
Got to know it through the first western release, Fire Emblem Blazing Sword (the seventh one). It was my first strategy game, and, well, I sucked at it. I didn’t reset everytime a unit of me died, so when I was at the last chapter, I just barely made it to Nergal, and then the dragon showed up (Oh, and I didn’t know about Luna’s overpoweredness). I wasn’t able to beat it back then, still, it was fun, so I got myself Sacred Stones when it came out.
This one was easier, and I myself also got better at the game. Later, I replayed FE 7 again, and I couldn’t understand what was so hard the first time.
So I was hooked for the series.
I played Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn as well, and I usually see these games’ stories as a unity, and it is one of my favorite stories.
I dropped Shadow Dragon somewhere around the tenth chapter, just wasn’t too interesting.
Played Awakening, overall liked it.
Sometime after Awakening, I researched a bit about the older FEs, and have since then watched Let’s Plays of Genealogy of the Holy War (one of the nicer stories), Thracia 776, Binding Blade and Heroes of Light and Shadow (aka New Mystery of the Emblem).
I am currently still playing Fates, and I think it is a nice game.
The only things I know about Gaiden is the stuff that Ghast Station talked about in his video “This is what happens in Fire Emblem Gaiden”.
I also looked at some stuff from the Romhack community through Youtube Videos, namely the Ragefest Contests, which were held by a Youtuber of the name of MarkyJoe1990.
I’ve played through The Blazing Sword and Awakening. I really liked both. I loved the variety of classes and ways you could prioritize various skills and strengths of your characters in Awakening, but I found The Blazing Sword more immersive because I felt it was more challenging and that the story was a bit stronger.
I’m not 100% on how I feel about this, but I almost wish the supports in Awakening onward DIDN’T end in marriage. I know it’s necessary from a gameplay perspective because of the second generation characters , but I still wish they could’ve found a happy medium. I just can’t stomach certain relationships being romantic in that game (Gregor X Maribelle, Donnel X Panne,). Despite this, however, I am somewhat GLAD for these options because there are also a number of couples I DO really like (Stahl X Sully, Chrom X Sumia, Virion X Panne).
Everytime this thread is bumped I’m reminded of my Conquest Lunatic run and how I’m afraid to touch Chapter 12 (pot hell).
Wow! You got that far in LUNATIC? I’m impressed.
I told myself I wasnt gonna touch it but after completing the other 2 on Lunatic I…well, yeah.
Played them all except Fate as of writing this and I do love the series for the characters and gameplay, not so much for the story outside of 4 which is my favorite Fire Emblem game, I was not too excited for Fates initially until my friend started playing it and told me about and I refuse to play through Thracia 776 again and no one can and will make me
Which 2 did you complete? I only got, like, 4 chapters into Awakening’s before realizing how long it would take to spotpass grind and giving up,
@CressandNep What part of Fates didn’t pique your interest?
The whole 2 seperate games situation at first put me off greatly as I thought it would have the same exact maps just with different units and I thought it would be as easy as awakening but I’m glad I am wrong with my first impressions
I got ya. Conquest in particular looks awesome, so I can’t wait to play it soon.
@Purple You deserve this:

My friend had terrible RNG in conquest, he missed a 99% hit rate TWICE then the enemy triggered a crit at 2% and landed the hit with 48% wish I was making this up but besides that part it’s fun
As in Birthright and Revelation. I’ve beaten 6-8 on Hard as well if that means anything haha. Awakening Lunatic isn’t hard it’s plain unfair. I haven’t touched it after I got stuck on Chapter 17.
Well, you know:
Still, that is even worse luck. And I have the feeling that Fates doesn’t have true hit anymore. Haven’t looked that up, though.

Gosh, what the heck? I didn’t know Conquest was so scary… 
@VyseGolbez There is so much truth in this video…
@Purple Yeah, I agree that Lunatic is basically unfair in that game (Partially for the reasons CressandNep was talking about). I’m just amazed you got as far as CHAPTER 17!
So, when you say 6-8, do you mean Binding Blade, Blazing Sword, and Sacred Stones? That’s still pretty impressive. I never got through Hector Hard on the middle of those three.

I finally beat conquest but it was because I lowered the difficulty to normal on the second to last chapter. I’ll go back to my hard run later. Now I’m starting revelations.
That’s cool. I finished Revelations not too long ago, and honestly actually somehow found it easier than Birthright. A lot of it is because it just sort of focuses on trying to nail you with weird environmental gimmicks rather than the maps actually being strategically difficult.
Of course, there’s also the fact that you have access to the ridiculous units from both sides, so you can just cheese maps with the absurdly powerful royal families.
