Your step-by-step guide to beating Linus in Fire Emblem Heroes, including boss stats, item locations, and recruitment strategies for Geitz.
Alright, let's tackle Chapter Twenty Four, the Linus version of 'Four-Fanged Offense'! This is where things can get a bit spicy, especially if your Lords are level 50 or higher. Our main goal here is to defeat Linus, the boss of this map.
New Character Alert: Keep an eye out for Geitz. He's an enemy unit chilling in the village to the east. You can recruit him using Dart, so make sure Dart is ready to go!

Walkthrough
- 1Recruiting Geitz: Geitz is positioned way over to the east, unlike in the Eliwood version where he's closer to the villages. Your first move should be to send Dart, Ninian, and a sturdy unit that won't attack back (Oswin is a good candidate here) towards Geitz. The goal is to lure him out. Once you've got him isolated, recruit him. Use Geitz to handle any units that show up near that eastern village and make sure to visit the village itself.
- 2Advancing Your Forces: While you're dealing with Geitz, your main army should be moving north. Head towards the other villages, making sure to visit them to pick up those valuable items and gain some much-needed experience points.
- 3Watch Out for Wyverns: Seriously, these wyvern units have a massive attack range. Keep a close eye on them and try to keep your less-promoted units out of their reach. This map is a fantastic opportunity to level up those unpromoted characters before they promote.
- 4Using the Arena: If you have units that are really struggling or need that extra boost, don't hesitate to use the arena. It's the perfect place for them to gain some levels safely.
- 5The Push to Linus: Once your forces are reasonably strong and you've visited the villages, start making your way east towards Linus. You'll want a solid group of competent units for this final push – any promoted unit will do nicely. Clear out the enemies blocking your path.
- 6Taking Down Linus: When you finally face Linus, use your tougher units that can withstand a hit. Mages can chip away at him from a distance with their ranged attacks, but be very careful if they get close, as Linus hits hard.
Tips
- Focus on recruiting Geitz early with Dart to secure him and the eastern village.
- Use the villages to your advantage for items and EXP, especially for your unpromoted units.
- Keep your units spread out enough to avoid being wiped out by wyvern attacks, but close enough to support each other.
- Don't be afraid to use the arena to get weaker units up to par before the final confrontation.
- Linus is tough, so have your strongest fighters ready to take him on.
