Chapter 21 Paralogue: The Caring Princess
Location: Forgotten Shrine
Travel to the Forgotten Shrine for a dialogue event between Alear and Celica, followed by a battle to increase their bond. The fight takes place on a beach with Celica at the southwestern corner. Please note that you can obtain the following items during this battle! After starting the battle, each High Priest will summon four additional enemies into the fight. They will keep doing this every couple of turns until they are defeated.
Another thing to keep in mind during this fight is that Celica has a large area of attack. If you enter her range, she will warp in using her Emblem Skill to deal some significant damage. After defeating Celica, you’ll be free to explore the area collecting items, speaking with allies, and adopting animals.
The following items can be obtained on the map:
| Item | Obtained |
|---|---|
| 1,000 G | Dropped by a High Priest Fabrication |
| 1,000 G | Dropped by a High Priest Fabrication |
| 1,000 G | Dropped by a High Priest Fabrication |
| 1,000 G | Dropped by a Phantom Wyrm Fabrication |
Skirmishes
Now might be a good time to engage in a couple of skirmishes, if you wish. You can use them to level up units you usually don’t use or get others closer to promotion.
Fire Emblem Engage Chapter 21 Battle – Lythos Castle
Travel to Lythos Castle when you’re ready to progress with the story. Here, you’ll receive a prompt stating that starting this chapter will lead to a series of battles you’ll have to complete before being able to return to the Somniel. Select yes to trigger a lengthy dialog event. After it concludes, you’ll have to fight your way to Veyle and the hounds while being assaulted on both sides by enemies.
Enemies will also keep spawning as the turns progress until you defeat Veyle. The best course of action would be to rush Veyle while taking out the two hounds and the thief along the way to get all of the rewards. Please note that Mauvier will also join your group! After reducing all three of Veyle’s health bars, a cutscene will trigger, leading to the end of the chapter.
The following items can be found on the map:
| Item | Obtained |
|---|---|
| Caladbolg | Dropped by Zephia |
| Carnwenhan | Dropped by a Thief Corrupted |
| Spirit Dust | Dropped by Griss |
