Master Sidequest 11 in Fire Emblem: Awakening! Learn strategies to recruit Gerome, save villagers, and defeat the Twin Wyverns with this expert walkthrough.
Alright, let's tackle Sidequest 11, the 'Twin Wyverns' map! This one's a bit of a race against time to save some villagers, and you'll want to bring your flying units for this. If you've been training up your Pegasi and Wyverns, this map is where they shine. Ground units will be a bit more restricted on the narrow bridges, so keep that in mind.
Recruiting Gerome: Gerome is right at the start of the map. Just have Chrom or Cherche talk to him on the first turn to recruit him to your cause. Easy peasy!

Starting Out: You begin on an island with a few villagers. Your main goal here is to protect these villagers, as saving them nets you some sweet rewards. The more you save, the better the loot!

Protecting Villagers: You'll need to split your forces. Send your flying units east to protect the two villagers on that separate island. There's no bridge connecting them, so flyers are essential. Simultaneously, send some ground units west to protect the villager down there. Don't forget the south island – assign some units to defend those villagers too. You want to prevent them from getting swarmed.

Alternative Strategy (Rescue Staff): If you have a Rescue staff user, this map becomes much easier. You can simply warp the villagers to a central, defensible location. This way, you only need to protect one spot instead of spreading your forces thin.

Using Terrain: When your units are on small islands or off bridges, remember to use the terrain to your advantage. Position your units so they can't be easily flanked.
- 5
Enemy Reinforcements: Be ready for trouble on Turn 5! A bunch of Wyvern Lords will appear from the forts on the northern islands. These are advanced class enemies, so expect them to hit hard. Take a look at their skills and keep your unit ranges in mind to counter them effectively.
Villager Rewards: The prizes you get for saving villagers stack. If you manage to save all five, you'll get all the rewards listed below:
- Wyrmslayer
- Arms Scroll
- Recover
- Bullion (M)
- Seraph Robe
Boss Information:
- Name: Morristan
- Class: Berserker
- Level: 15
- Items: Tomahawk, Bullion (M)
- Flying units are your best friends on this map. Prioritize their deployment.
- Don't underestimate the Wyvern Lords that appear on Turn 5; they can quickly overwhelm you if you're not prepared.
- If you're struggling to protect all the villagers, consider focusing on saving at least five to get the best rewards.
- Recruiting Gerome early is simple and gives you another strong unit to help with the map's objectives.
