Below is a walkthrough for Chapter 9: A Clash of Forces in Fire Emblem Engage!
Skirmishes
Now might be a good time to do a couple of skirmishes if you wish. You can use them to level up units you normally don’t use or get others closer to classing up.
Fort on the Border
When you’re ready to push the story, head to the Fort on the Border for a dialog event leading to a battle. You’ll need to defeat Ivy again but this time during a snowstorm. When the fight starts, both retainers will split from Ivy heading for two forts in the middle of the map where they will hold their position until defeated. Also, near where your units start in the center of the map is an allied unit named Jade. Speak with her using Diamant to gain her as an ally. You’re now free to defeat Ivy! Please note that you can obtain the below items during the fight!
| Item | Obtained |
|---|---|
| Elsurge | Dropped from an enemy mage enemy on the northern side |
| Spirit Dust | Dropped from an enemy on the northern side |
| Steel-Hand Art | Dropped from the Martial Monk guarding Ivy |
Post battle explore the area when the cutscene is through, collecting items and adopting pets.
Intermission: The Somniel
When you’re done exploring, exit the area and stop in at the Somniel. Stock up on supplies, speak to new allies and complete any support/bonding events you may have. When you’re ready to proceed with the story, leave the Somniel.
