Guide to Chapter 12: Bitter Intrigue in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. Learn about the map, enemies, allies, objectives, and strategies to defeat Ryoma or escape.
Walkthrough
- 1Elise is unavailable. Rely on Felicia/Jakob for healing; equip them with healing staves.
- 2The objective is to defeat Ryoma or have the Avatar escape within 16 turns.
- 3Beware of status-inducing pots. Attack pots with the 'Break' command to reveal if they contain 'Medicine' (buffs) or 'Poison' (debuffs, e.g., halving HP). Avoid breaking poison pots. Pot effects apply to all units within range, friend and foe. Pot benefits only affect the main unit near the pot.
- 4A Dragon Vein in the north triggers an earthquake, destroying all pots and unleashing their effects. It is recommended to activate this.
- 5Defeat Saizo and Kagero guarding the enclosure. Saizo drops the Flame Shuriken.
- 6At the end of turn 7, reinforcements will appear from the southeast and southwest.
- 7Prioritize eliminating Shrine Maidens carrying Silence, Entrap, and Freeze staves. The Shrine Maiden with Entrap can warp units next to a Samurai. These staves have limited uses.
- 8A chest near a Shrine Maiden contains 5,000 Gold.
- 9Ryoma, a promoted Swordmaster, wields the Rajinto and attacks from two tiles away. He does not move.
- 10To defeat Ryoma, surround him and attack one by one. Alternatively, place the Avatar on the flashing red tiles behind Ryoma and use the 'Escape' command. Escaping may be preferable on Classic mode or higher difficulties with unpromoted units.
Tips
- Use walls to your advantage against Saizo and Kagero.
- Felicia might find the Flame Shuriken useful.
- If playing on Classic and a harder difficulty, consider escaping rather than fighting Ryoma directly with unpromoted units.
