Below is a walkthrough for Chapter 14: The Battle for Solm in Fire Emblem Engage!
Paralogue: The Radiant Hero
Area: Fort of Hope
Head to Fort Hope for a dialog event with your boy Ike. This will be proceeded by a battle against the Radiant Hero to strengthen his bond with Alear. A good chunk of the enemies you’ll be facing are armored, so it might be a good idea to bring a couple of mages along. After defeating a few of the starting enemies and getting closer to Ike, he will summon some sword-mounted units and charge at you. Additionally, more enemies will appear along the southern and western parts of the map. Defeat Ike to win the battle then explore the area collecting items and adopting animals… you know, the usual.

|---|---|
| 1,000 G | Dropped from a Fabrication |
| 1,000 G | Dropped from a Martial Master Fabrication |
| 1,000 G | Dropped from a General Fabrication |
| 1,000 G | Dropped from a Swordmaster Fabrication |

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 promotion.
Solm Palace
When you’re ready to proceed with the story, travel to Solm Palace. For this chapter’s battle, you’ll need to defeat Hortensia, Zephia, Marni and Mauvier. The enemies are pretty even as to which types are present so a diverse team might provide an advantage. Please note that you can receive the below items during this battle! For the two chests on each side of the throne room behind destructible walls. Be careful when going to loot them as enemies can spawn nearby. When you reach the throne room, Hortensia will break one of your units within range on her turn while the three hounds rush you. After dealing with them, you’ll be free to take on Hortensia. She will have 3 health bars and is capable of dishing out high damage. She will also summon 4 additional enemies to fight alongside her. Defeating her will trigger a dialog event and you’ll also receive 40,000 G. You’ll then be free to explore the palace collecting items and speaking with your allies. Head back to the Somniel when you are done.

Intermission: The Somniel
Back at the Somniel make sure to speak with Hortensia to get her added to the Ally Notebook. Also stock on any supplies you may need and collect the items scattered around the grounds. When you’re ready to proceed with the story, leave the Somniel in search of the next ring.
