Need help with Paralogue 5: Bold Approach in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation? Learn how to recruit Sophie, protect villagers, and defeat Nichol with this quick guide.
Alright, let's tackle Paralogue 5, 'Bold Approach,' in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation! This one can be a bit tricky, especially if you're aiming for all the goodies. You'll be dealing with Silas's daughter, Sophie, and a bunch of villagers who are basically walking targets. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it!
Walkthrough
- 1Recruit Sophie: Your first priority is to get Sophie on your side. She's chilling way up in the northeast corner of the map. Make sure Silas talks to her. If Silas is still a mounted unit, he can cover a lot of ground quickly. Once recruited, have Silas pair up with Sophie. This'll help them catch up to the rest of your army later.
- 2Protect the Villagers: This is the annoying part for completionists. There are six unarmed Villagers in the far south of the map. The catch? The tile the boss, Nichol, is standing on is their escape tile. This means they'll start running towards the enemy, putting them directly in harm's way. If you want all the rewards and bragging rights, you absolutely *must* protect them. This requires moving incredibly fast.
- 3Create a Bottleneck: Luckily, a big river or moat splits the map in the middle. This is your best friend! Send your fastest units – flyers, Takumi with his special bow, and any mounted units – towards this bottleneck immediately. Your goal is to block the path before the Villagers reach it. This will stop them from moving into danger until the path is clear. It's a good idea for these fast units to ferry another unit with them for extra firepower later.
- 4Clear the East Side: While your fast units are heading to the bottleneck, you need to quickly push through the enemies on the east side of the map. This prevents them from swarming the Villagers once they start moving again.
- 5Steady Advance and Healers: Once the initial rush is handled, it's a steady push forward. Keep your healers close! The enemies have healers too, and you'll want to take them out first to prevent them from undoing your hard work. Keep an eye out for the numerous forts scattered in the northwestern part of the map.
- 6Rush the Boss: When you're ready to make your final push, go hard and fast to ensure the Villagers stay safe. Nichol himself is a flying unit. Your best archers should be able to take him down pretty quickly.
Tips
- Prioritize taking out enemy healers.
- Flying units and mounted units are key for reaching the bottleneck quickly.
- Don't forget to have Silas talk to Sophie to recruit her!
- Protecting the villagers is crucial for getting all the rewards.
- Sophie permanently joins your army if you complete the objective.
- All Villagers are saved (if you did a good job!).
