Chapter 5: Doors Of Destiny
Here we are, chapter 5! Your first mission is to save Sigurd's father. If he dies Sigurd won't be able to get the awesome sword Tylfing. Before you go out to battle do the usual buying weapons, and go to arena. NOT TAKE SIGURD TO THE ARENA YET!! I'll explain why later. I hope you have lots of people who are class changed. Now move 4 of your sword users to Sylvia's maximum movement range. Sigurd should be one of them. Then let Sylvia use dance so they can move again. Attack those armored guys. *This tip was from Ethlin's FE4 Guide* When one of the armored guy is killed let Sigurd run pass them and straight towards his father. Since they use axes they shouldn't be a problem for your people. Oh yes there's also some enemies to the left of your castle, so use the others to kill them. Once Sigurd reaches his father(or his father reaches him), he'll get the Tylfing. Too bad it's broken. Send Sigurd back into the castle and repair it. It takes 50,000 bucks to fully repair it. That's why I told you not to take Sigurd to the arena yet. Once the sword is fixed go to the arena and win some money. Don't bother using the Tylfing in the arena. You'll want to save your money for later. Yes, I'll explain why later. There's 2 armies, one has archers and the others are axe knights. Kill off all the archers, and use the axe guys to build up your levels(if you need to). Let the leader run back to bring more. Deu should equip a weak sword and steal money. Deu should give all the money he stole to Sigurd. If Sigurd has 40,000 bucks go buy the Exp Ring. That's why I told you to save Sigurd's money. This will help build up Serlis(his son) much faster in the next chapter. If your people are all class changed(you don't have to use Adan if you don't want to). You can build up the kills in your weapon. This is optional, but I like to do it and get most of the decent weapons with at least 30 kills. If Sigurd has 70 kills with the Sliver Sword, his son Serlis will critical attack like a maniac. Trust me, I should know, I've seen it. Ok when you've build up your charaters you can go attack Rangobalt. There are 4(I think) ballistas near the castle. You should go take care of them first. Guarding the castle is Rangobalt. That's the bastard that framed Sigurd's father. So what are we going to do to him? No, not shake his hands and talk it over! YOU KICK HIS ASS!!! He does have the Holy Axe, so his defence is VERY HIGH! You can kill him with Magic like the Holsety, or use Sigurd. You can also use Hollin. Just have his lover stand next to him and hope that he'll critical and Moonlight Hit at the same time. It doesn't matter if his defence is one million. Hollin will slice through Rangobalt like he's made of paper. Conquer the castle and 2 sad scenes will happen. Sigurd tells Oifaye and Shanan to take baby Serlis into hiding. Next an army will appear in the south. Why look it's Ethlin and Cuan! And look who's here to ambush them? Torabant and his dragon knights will attack Ethlin and Cuan. There's nothing you can do to help them. Stop crying cause those freaking dragon knights are coming your way. They all have Knight Killers. Use only your foot units, and Alec cause Alec has Anti Critical skill. When you've taken care of all the dragon knights, fly Fury into the desert. On top of those big rocks are mages with a very cool fire spell. They can attack from far away. Only Fury can kill them. When you're killing them you should also watch out for the mages near the castle. If I remember right, they have sleep staffs. Once all those annoying fire mages are killed. Send only Sigurd towards the castle in the middle of the desert. Make sure he has the Tylfing equiped. He should have no problem taking down the boss. Conquer the castle and move everyone across the rest of the desert. Oh make sure you have all your female charaters talk to their lover! This is very important! I was told that if they don't have this chat, you won't get to use their children in the next chapter. Only Edin doesn't talk to her lover. When you've cross the desert there's one more large army to defeat. Put Fury in the spot I circled. The fire mages will attack her, then Leptor's army will also come attack you. Now the fire mages will switch sides and help you attack Leptor. You see the spot I marked with a oval? Equip Levin with the Holsety and stand in Leptor's range. Once Leptor's killed you won't even have to fight his army. Before you go to the castle here's what I recommend your charaters to have so they get passed on. Things that don't get passed on will appear in the weapon shop later in the game.
