Endgame Anankos

Your guide to the final boss Anankos in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation. Learn strategies for each phase, from his hands to his soul, and secure victory!

Alright, this is it – the big one! You're about to face the god Anankos himself in the final battle of Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation. Don't sweat it, though; while it's a tough fight, there are some things working in your favor. The enemy density isn't too crazy, but be aware that reinforcements will keep showing up every turn until Anankos is down. You'll need to split your forces: some will focus on Anankos, while the rest handle the incoming troops.

Pro Tip: Seriously, bring TONS of healers. You'll thank me later.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Anankos's Hands: 80 HP each.
• Anankos's Head: 80 HP.
• Anankos's Soul (Orb): 80 HP.

Phases:

1. Phase One: Anankos's Hands

   Your first objective is to take down Anankos's hands. They're the key to keeping his head and soul hidden. Each hand has 80 HP and uses the same nasty breath weapon as before. The best approach is to split your army into two groups, one for each hand, and try to take them down ASAP. Remember to keep those healers busy!

2. Phase Two: Anankos's Head

   Once both hands are defeated, they'll drop below the battlefield, leaving Anankos's head exposed and finally within your reach. This phase is tough: his head also has 80 HP, boasts even stronger defenses, and hits like a truck. Regroup the two teams you used against the hands. I highly recommend using your paired-up units here and building up that dual guard gauge before you go all-in. This will help minimize the damage you take.

3. Phase Three: Anankos's Soul

   You beat his head, so that's it, right? Nope! Now his true form emerges: the eldritch orb within his mouth. This orb is his soul and his most dangerous weapon, packing 80 HP. Your dual guard gauge might be depleted from the previous phase, so just focus on keeping your units alive with your healers. Once this orb falls, Anankos is finally, truly defeated. Congratulations, you've beaten the main campaign of Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation!
