Complete walkthrough for the Silver Snow route (Black Eagles branch) in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, covering Chapter 12, Chapter 13, and Chapter 14, including dialogue choices and battle strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Chapter 12:
    • This chapter has limited time for activities.
  2. 2
    Hilda can ONLY be recruited this month. Achieve B rank support with her or increase her stats to meet recruitment criteria, then speak to her in the last week.
  3. 3
    Edelgard and Hubert leave the party. Catherine, Cyril, and Seteth join.
  4. 4
    3/21: Explore the monastery. No more lost items. Below are dialogue choices for interactions:
    • Ignatz: "I feel the same"
  5. 5
    Leoni: "Her ideals are in conflict with yours"
  6. 6
    Dedue: "Your truly alright with that"
  7. 7
    Sylvain: "I have no idea"
  8. 8
    Ashe: "Everything will be alright"
  9. 9
    Dorothea: "Us or her you mean?"
  10. 10
    Marianne: "We can't win if you run"
  11. 11
    Alois: "I'm depending on you"
  12. 12
    Rhea: "I will try"
  13. 13
    Accept a quick quest from Seteth: speak to the female guard in the entrance hall and report back.
  14. 14
    Spend remaining activity points as desired.
  15. 15
    Note: If Hilda is recruited before the end of the month, her Paralogue unlocks and remains available until 5/26 in Part 2.
  16. 16
    This is the only time to increase Rhea to A rank support (if B rank was achieved before merging with Sothis), which affects the ending.
  17. 17
    3/31 Battle:
    • You are heavily outnumbered by Edelgard's forces (mages, archers, brigands, cavalry, armored knights).
  18. 18
    Objective: Defeat enemy forces and prevent them from killing Rhea or breaching the monastery gate.
  19. 19
    The Knights of Seiros provide support, but are fragile. Ballistae and magic ballistae are useful.
  20. 20
    3 flying demon beasts advance towards the gate. Enemies are at the outer gate; eliminate them first.
  21. 21
    Enemy units operate ballistae targeting you and allies.
  22. 22
    Enemy controls 2 strongholds preventing reinforcements: one guarded by Hubert (dark mage), the other by Death Knight.
  23. 23
    You can ignore strongholds and attack Edelgard (Flame Emperor class) directly, but defeating Hubert and Death Knight makes it easier.
  24. 24
    Death Knight can be defeated with planning, ballistae, and using allies as bait.
  25. 25
    After Hubert and Death Knight are defeated, Edelgard's group advances towards the outer gate.
  26. 26
    Chapter 13:
    • Start the battle alone with Seteth.
  27. 27
    Many thieves are present, some carrying healing concoctions. Rely on these for healing if Seteth's Faith is low.
  28. 28
    Protect Seteth, as he may not be well-trained.
  29. 29
    Turn 3: Former students (Dorothea, Caspar, Petra) join.
  30. 30
    Turn 5: Ferdinand, Lindhardt, and Bernadetta join.
  31. 31
    Combine forces to defeat all thieves.
  32. 32
    Defeat the leader, who will retreat. You must kill him and his allies before he escapes.
  33. 33
    Chapter 14:
    • 1/1: Answer "Let's win no matter what".
  34. 34
    Time Skip: 5 years have passed. Students and recruited allies are stronger and can give seminars.
  35. 35
    1/4: Only 1 free day before the next battle; explore.
  36. 36
    You can only interact with recruited allies.
