Fierne Castle – Fire Emblem Engage Chapter 5
Battle in Firene Castle
Chapter 5 will start with a cutscene where you’ll be introduced to some new antagonists who are trying to steal the Firene Emblem Ring. After some threats are made, Alfred, Celine, and Alear show up to save the queen. This will then kick off the battle in Firene Castle, where you’ll need to defeat Nelucce and his goons.
During this fight, you can find the following items:
| Item | Obtained |
|---|---|
| Armorslayer | In a chest / dropped by the thief that nabbed it |
| Obstruct | In a chest / dropped by the thief that nabbed it |
| Seraph Robe | Defeat Nelucce |
For this fight, you’ll be in the southwestern corner with two paths to reach the throne room: heading north or west. You’ll want to send the bulk of your force north towards the throne. After progressing a short way, you’ll reach a locked door. The game will then provide a tutorial door where you’ll learn that you can destroy it. It will probably take a turn or two, depending on how many units attack the door. Once it’s destroyed, you’ll be in the throne room.
While your main force is heading north to the throne room, you’ll also want to send several units west. They will then swing north and head through a narrow hallway, which will lead to a pair of chests. You’ll need to be quick about it, because some thieves will show up trying to relieve the chest of their contents. Also, when you get over there, Alear will point out some weakness in the wall that you can destroy. This will create another entrance to the throne room, which you can use to flank the enemy.
After the battle, you’ll receive 10,000G from Firene and will be in Firene Castle. Explore the area, speaking with the units and collecting items. When you’re done, leave the area and travel to the Somniel.
Intermission: The Somniel
During your travels to the Somniel, a cutscene will trigger. Afterwards, check out the newly opened smithy and boutique. If you have amiibos, scan them at the gazebo to receive items and rewards! Please note that you can only scan 5 per day. As always, speak with everyone, collect all the items, and visit your beloved guardian spirit. Be sure also to check out the bulletin board! When you’re ready, exit to the World Map.
