Navigate the treacherous Pleasure Palace in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. This guide details enemy types, map layout, item locations, and strategies to defeat Iago.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by dispatching pairs of Knights and a Hero to the north. The Hero drops a Chest Key.
  2. 2
    After your first turn, two Outlaws to the east will open doors, allowing a Fighter and a Black Mage to join the enemy.
  3. 3
    Work your way north to confront a Sorcerer and a Strategist. High-Resistance units like Ninjas or Hinoka are recommended.
  4. 4
    Along the way, you will acquire 3,000G drops, a Tiger Spirit, and a Great Club.
  5. 5
    Send a Ninja into the eastern of the two rooms near the start to find two chests. The eastern chest contains a Goddess Icon (permanently increases Luck by 4), and the western chest contains a Silence staff.
  6. 6
    Proceed towards the boss area, being mindful of the Fire Orb. Stagger your units to mitigate damage, or defensively pair them.
  7. 7
    Move a Ninja south of the boss, Iago, to claim two more chests: 10,000G in the east and an Arms Scroll in the west.
  8. 8
    Engage and defeat Iago. He has low Defense.
Tips
  • The map layout is linear with narrow hallways, making brute force more effective than speed or maneuverability.
  • Nohrian enemies have slightly higher Attack but lower Critical and Avoid rates compared to previous battles, making the fight less random.
  • Bring blue weapons, as two promoted units and the boss are magic-users.
  • Ninjas are highly recommended for their ability to attack from range with Shurikens, open locked doors and chests, and high Resistance.
  • There are no Dragon Veins; instead, you'll encounter Turrets (Fire Orbs) in the north-eastern room. These can be used by Tome-wielding units but have limited range and damage.
  • The Fire Orb can only target one unit at a time with its area-of-effect, though adjacent units may be affected.
  • If you want to mitigate the Fire Orb's damage, stagger your units so they are not directly adjacent, but this risks taking more damage from enemies due to lack of paired bonuses.
  • Iago has low Defense, making him vulnerable to physical attacks.
  • Chest Key (dropped by Hero)
  • 3,000G
  • Tiger Spirit
  • Great Club
  • Goddess Icon (permanently increases Luck by 4)
