Chapter 25 To Slay a God

Guide to beating Chapter 25 'To Slay a God' in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Learn strategies for Aversa, reinforcements, and map progression on all difficulties.

Alright, we're heading into Chapter 25, aptly named 'To Slay a God.' This is where you'll face off against Aversa, the Dark Flier. She's stationary, but don't let that fool you – this map is all about managing the waves of enemies that pour in.

Boss: Aversa

• Class: Dark Flier
• Level: 20
• Item: Goetia

Strategies for all Difficulties:

The biggest challenge here, especially on Hard and Lunatic modes, isn't Aversa herself, but the sheer volume of reinforcements. They start coming early and often, so you need a plan. If you're just trying to get through it and aren't worried about grinding experience from the regular enemies, your best bet is to make a direct push for Aversa.

You have a couple of main approaches:

• Split Force: Head north and divide your army. Send one group west and the other east. This allows you to cover more ground and potentially deal with threats from multiple directions simultaneously.
• Unified Force: Keep your army together and push around either the west or east side of the map. This can make it easier to manage your units and provide mutual support.

No matter which approach you choose, pay close attention to the terrain. Use it to your advantage for defense and movement. On both the west and east paths, you'll encounter a mix of enemy types – magic users, fast units, and defensive ones. Scout ahead and send units that can counter those threats effectively. Always be mindful of enemy skills, especially those with long-range magic, as they can pick off your units before you even get close.
