Chapter 19 The Conqueror

Guide to Chapter 19 'The Conqueror' in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Learn strategies for defeating the boss Walhart and managing reinforcements on any difficulty.

Alright, so you've made it to Chapter 19, 'The Conqueror'! This is a pretty open field battle, which means you've gotta be extra careful about where you're moving. Enemies can come at you from all sides, so let's talk about how to handle this.

Boss:

• Name: Walhart
• Class: Conqueror
• Level: 25
• Item: Sol

Strategies:

• Map Type: Open Field Battle. Be mindful of your positioning as you can be attacked from multiple directions.
• Force Deployment: You have a couple of options here. You can either split your army into four groups, sending one east, one west, one northeast, and one northwest, then converging in the upper middle area to face Walhart. Alternatively, you can keep your army together as one large unit and let the enemies come to you.
• Forts and Reinforcements: The forts on the map are hotbeds for enemy reinforcements. You can either try to capture and hold these forts to prevent enemies from spawning, or be prepared to fight them off if you're looking for extra experience points.
• Lunatic Difficulty: If you're playing on Lunatic, be ready for a massive wave of reinforcements that will arrive on Turn 8. Walhart will usually give you a heads-up before they show up.
• Enemy Weaknesses: Most of the enemies on this map are susceptible to Hammers. However, Walhart himself has a special skill that makes him immune to this advantage, so you'll need a different approach for him.
• Speed Run Strategy: If you're looking to finish this map quickly, you can place a unit within Walhart's attack range. This will bait him into coming to you, and he's generally manageable for a strong unit to take down.
