A complete walkthrough for Chapter 5, 'Mother,' in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. Learn enemy weaknesses, unit strategies, and how to defeat the Hoshidan forces.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the chapter by speaking with your mother, Mikoto, and touring the Hoshidan castle before heading to Shirasagi Castle Town.
  2. 2
    Witness the ceremony and the ensuing tragedy and treachery.
  3. 3
    You will begin the battle as a dragon, a powerful form that is vulnerable to Wyrmslayer weapons.
  4. 4
    Two enemy Mercenary units on the left do not carry Wyrmslayers and are easy targets.
  5. 5
    One of these Mercenary units on the left carries an HP Tonic, which will drop upon defeat, triggering a tutorial on item drops.
  6. 6
    Prioritize defeating the two Mercenary units on the left with your dragon form.
  7. 7
    The Mercenary unit on the right carries a Wyrmslayer. Use Rinkah and Kaze to defeat this unit.
  8. 8
    Two Dark Mages are located to the south. These units use Tomes, which are long-range weapons effective against physically defended foes.
  9. 9
    Use Azura's 'Sing' ability to grant an extra turn to an adjacent ally to help blitz one Dark Mage, allowing you to deal with the other.
  10. 10
    Ryoma will likely engage a Swordmaster at the bottom of the map and retreat.
  11. 11
    Use your dragon form to defeat the Swordmaster that Ryoma was fighting. Be aware that this Swordmaster is strong and can deal significant damage.
  12. 12
    Keep Sakura and Azura nearby to heal any damage taken by your dragon form.
  13. 13
    After the battle, you will receive a new sword and Azura will give you a Dragonstone.
Tips
  • Pay attention to the weapons enemies possess, especially Wyrmslayers which deal bonus damage against dragons.
  • Azura's 'Sing' command allows an adjacent ally or pair to take an extra turn, which is crucial for coordinated attacks.
  • Sakura functions primarily as a healer.
  • Tomes used by Dark Mages are long-range weapons effective against enemies with high physical defense.
