Walkthrough for Chapter Nine: A Grim Reunion (Fog of War) in Fire Emblem Heroes. Learn enemy positions, reinforcements, boss strategy, and item locations to seize the gate.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by ditching units level 5 and above (Lucius, Erk, Wil, Dorcas). Keep a core party: Serra, Nils, Matthew, Lyn, Wallace, Florina, and Sain/Kent. Rath stays benched; give him the Angelic Robe and Hammer. Equip Sain with an Iron Sword and Lance, and a vulnerary. Pass the Lancereaver from Lucius to Lyn.
  2. 2
    Position Sain north, others in the middle with Wallace and Matthew near the front. Wallace will promote into a General.
  3. 3
    Sain visits the eastern village to get the Torch and heads north with a Sword. Florina sits on the southern fortress to block enemy spawns.
  4. 4
    Move Matthew onto the bridge to draw the nearby mercenary. Play to Wallace with Nils. Heal Wallace with Serra. Send Wallace forward with an Axe equipped, followed by Matthew. Lyn stays behind Matthew.
  5. 5
    As fog of war begins, Florina stays put. Sain moves further north, then east. Move Matthew away from the injured mercenary and finish it with Wallace (using a lance). Heal Matthew with Serra. Play to Wallace with Nils and advance him. Lyn moves into the forest near the fortress.
  6. 6
    Address brigands attacking Sain. Finish the first one. Use any unit needing EXP (preferably Matthew) to defeat weakened cavaliers that Wallace engaged. Wallace continues advancing east, and Lyn prepares for a brigand from the south. Florina remains on her post.
  7. 7
    A soldier attacks Sain and dies. Sain moves east and heals with a vulnerary. Lyn defeats the brigand that attacked her. Matthew cautiously moves east to finish off a weakened cavalier handled by Wallace. Serra and Nils heal Lyn and Matthew as needed. Wallace moves north towards Sain.
  8. 8
    Move Sain behind the brigand that attacked him and defeat it. Wallace baits other units. Matthew, supported by Nils/Serra, takes out weakened units while moving east. Lyn also moves east. Wallace eliminates remaining units.
  9. 9
    Sain is attacked; defeat the nearby archer with a sword. Wallace handles other enemies. Nils, Serra, Lyn, and Matthew move towards the gate. Matthew, with Nils's help, gets close to the gate. Lyn and Serra are just behind.
  10. 10
    Sain moves closer. Wallace advances towards the gate. Florina remains stationary. Matthew is attacked by a soldier; finish it with an armorslayer. Heal Matthew with Serra. Play to Matthew with Nils, moving him down but not directly adjacent to the gate (two squares south). Lyn stays behind.
  11. 11
    Sain reaches the main group. Wallace continues advancing. Florina stays put. Matthew is attacked by the second soldier; defeat it. The boss, Eagler (a Paladin), is visible. Move Lyn and play to her. Move Lyn diagonally adjacent to Eagler. Heal Matthew with Serra.
  12. 12
    Eagler attacks Lyn with his javelin; if hit, heal with Serra. Move Matthew north, away from the fray, towards Sain. Wallace is close. Florina remains stationary. Move Lyn beside Eagler and attack with the Lancereaver.
  13. 13
    Eagler hits Lyn badly with his Hand Axe. Serra heals Lyn. Nils plays to Serra, allowing her to move away. Lyn attacks Eagler with her Mani Katti for major damage.
  14. 14
    Eagler uses his javelin on Lyn again. Serra stands next to Lyn and heals. Nils plays to Serra, allowing her to move away. Lyn defeats Eagler with her Lancereaver. Play to Nils. Seize the gate.
Tips
  • Prioritize experience for units that need it, especially Matthew and Lyn, as they will be crucial for taking down the boss.
  • Use Wallace's high defense and movement to bait and weaken enemies, but don't over-rely on him as he is still gaining experience.
  • Florina's ability to block spawns on the southern fortress is a key defensive strategy.
  • The Torch is useful for navigating the fog of war, especially for Sain's initial exploration.
  • Pay attention to enemy weapon types (lances vs. axes) and use effective weapon triangle matchups.
  • Torch (from eastern village)
  • Wallace (joins automatically)
