Walkthrough for Chapter 25: Traitor Revealed in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. Learn enemy placements, strategies, and boss fight details to defeat Iago.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin on the southern end of the map. The initial enemies include Generals and a Strategist to the north, Heroes and a Great Knight to the west, and Berserkers and a Great Knight to the east.
- 2Defeat the northern defenders first. The Strategist drops an Arms Scroll.
- 3Wait for the Great Knights on the east and west to attack, then deal with reinforcements that spawn to the east and west (Bow Knight and Great Knight to the west; Dark Knight and Great Knight to the east). The western group spawns twice.
- 4Be aware of Berserkers and a Maid that may approach from the top of the map.
- 5Clear out all enemies before proceeding north.
- 6In the central chamber, a Maid and a Sorcerer near a Launcher and Fire Orb will harass you. Prioritize disabling them.
- 7In the western chest room, a Sorcerer will appear, followed by reinforcements of a Sorcerer and a Hero.
- 8The eastern chest room also has a Sorcerer, with two Maids spawning as reinforcements.
- 9Wait for reinforcements in the chest rooms and defeat them, along with the Great Knights guarding the hallways to the chest rooms.
- 10Position your units outside the range of the turrets before advancing. Heal or protect injured units as needed.
- 11Consider using a Dragon Vein at the southern end of the turret room to disarm enemy units, though it won't affect units near the turrets.
- 12Once the turret room is clear, focus on luring Iago's supporters away and defeating them, and looting the chests.
- 13Chests contain: Waterwheel (east chest), Boots (west chest), Pursuer (west chest), and Great Festal (east chest). Some chests may require Chest Keys.
- 14Iago's guards drop an Arms Scroll (from a Berserker) and 10,000G (from a Strategist).
- 15The boss, Iago, has strong offense, range, high HP, and good Resistance. He is guarded by a General.
- 16Defeat the General guarding Iago first, as he protects Iago. Magic-users and Sting Shuriken are effective.
- 17After the General is defeated, engage Iago. He drops the Hagakure Blade.
