Complete Sidequest 17 The Threat of Silence in fire emblem awakening. Protect Tiki from waves of flying enemies and defeat the Risen Chief boss.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    This is a defensive map where you must protect Tiki. Enemies will arrive in waves of reinforcements, and all of them are flying units.
  2. 2
    Position your units in the surrounding woods to create a defensive line. Bring archers and wind magic users, as they are super effective against flying units.
  3. 3
    Place stronger defensive units in front to absorb damage, with other units positioned to strike enemies from behind. Healers with the Physic staff are also recommended.
  4. 4
    Alternatively, you can adopt an offensive strategy by sending groups of units to the west, south, and east points of the map to intercept enemies before they reach Tiki.
  5. 5
    An optimal position is between the woods and the enemy spawn points, which allows enemies to take up to three turns to reach Tiki.
  6. 6
    Be aware that enemies will prioritize Tiki and may fly past your positioned units. Units with Galeforce can be useful for taking down enemies before they reach Tiki.
  7. 7
    A mixed strategy involves keeping some units with Tiki to form a defensive ring, while another detachment engages enemies at their spawn points. This ensures that even if one enemy slips through, the units with Tiki can handle them.
  8. 8
    Consider not pairing up some units to allow for multi-enemy engagement, especially in later turns when you may be swarmed. Dancers and units with Galeforce are helpful here.
  9. 9
    Warning: Tiki can only take one or two hits, so protect her carefully.
  10. 10
    The boss, Risen Chief, will begin moving after all reinforcements have been defeated.

New Units:

  • Tiki (Manakete, Level 20) will join at the end of the chapter.

Boss:

  • Risen Chief (Griffon Rider, Level 12) drops Tomahawk and Hammerne.
Tips
  • Bows and wind magic are super effective against the all-flying enemy units.
  • Consider using units with Galeforce to intercept enemies before they reach Tiki.
  • A mixed strategy of defense around Tiki and offense at spawn points can be very effective.
  • Dancers can be useful for allowing units to attack multiple enemies.
  • Tiki (Manakete, Level 20)
  • Tomahawk (dropped by Risen Chief)
  • Hammerne (dropped by Risen Chief)
