Fire Emblem Engage Prologue
Immediately following the first cutscene in the Prologue titled “The Emblems” in Fire Emblem Engage, you will enter a tutorial battle against an unknown enemy. Follow the tutorial prompts to defeat this foe, which will trigger another cutscene that concludes the Prologue.
Chapter 1: Awake at Last
At the beginning of Chapter 1, titled “Awake at Last,” the Divine Dragon Alear finally awakens after a long slumber. This moment surprises the 32nd Steward of the Dragon and the two 33rd Stewards of the Dragon. After some introductions, they inform Alear about everything that has happened during their long absence. They then escort the hero to Lythos Castle to meet Queen Lumera.
On the way to the castle, the group will be attacked by a group of evil forces. This will lead to a confrontation with them, where you’ll receive some additional tutorials. Following the battle, you’ll be able to explore the grounds of Lythos Grasslands. Speak with everyone if you wish, and make sure to interact with the shiny spots around the area to find some items. When you’re ready, leave the area to begin Chapter 2.
Chapter 2: Queen Lumera
During the beginning of Chapter 2: Queen Lumera, the queen will show Alear around the castle and tell them about the Fell Dragon being awakened. This will lead to a mock battle where Alear and their retainers will face off against Queen Lumera and her Emblem.
The battle against Queen Lumera will have two phases. The first phase is a standard battle where you’ll get introduced to controlling multiple characters in a fight and be taught how to use Clanne and Framme. Once you manage to defeat Lumera, phase 2 will begin.
For this phase, Lumera will start using her Emblem Ring containing Emblem Siguard. The game will then present you with additional tutorials. After defeating Queen Lumera a second time, Alear will be presented with the Liberation sword as a gift from his mother. You’ll then be free to speak with everyone in the Lythos Castle Gardens and explore the area to collect some items. Depart the area when you are ready to start Chapter 3.
Chapter 3: Hostilities
When Chapter 3: Hostilities kicks off, Alear will have a nightmare, jolting him awake. They’ll ask Marth what they were like 1,000 years ago, to which Marth advises him to go back into everything. The conversation is then cut short by some loud noises that they’ll leave to investigate. In the hall, the stewards will say that the castle is under assault, and the group will head towards the queen in the Emblem room. This will trigger a battle where you must face enemies along the way.
After the battle begins, defeat a couple of enemies to trigger a cutscene where Alfred and his retainers, Etie and Boucheron, come to the Divine Dragon’s aid. You’ll then want to defeat the remaining enemies to trigger another cutscene. Once it concludes, you’ll be free to explore the Ring Vault, where you can speak with everyone and collect some items. When you’re ready to proceed, depart to begin Chapter 4.
