Defeat Grima in fire emblem awakening's The Future Past 3 DLC mission. Prepare Chrom with Exalted Falchion and Dual Strike+ for a one-turn victory.

  • Chrom should be well-trained.
  • Equip Chrom with the Exalted Falchion.
  • Equip Chrom with the Dual Strike+ skill.
  • Ensure Chrom has a strong support partner (A or S Rank).
  • The support partner should have a Brave weapon equipped (forged with +5 Might if possible).
  • The support partner should have the Galeforce skill.
  • Have several units capable of using the Rescue staff.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As the battle begins, the NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) children will be reduced to 1 HP. Healing or protecting them is unnecessary for a one-turn completion.
  2. 2
    Pair Chrom with his partner.
  3. 3
    Have a Galeforce unit/pair (or two) clear out the northern enemies to create a path.
  4. 4
    Have a staff wielder move north and cast Rescue on another staff wielder who also has Rescue, or on a Dancer.
  5. 5
    Have the second staff wielder move north and Rescue Chrom’s partner, or have them Dance for the initial staff wielder, who then Rescues Chrom’s partner after moving north a second time.
  6. 6
    Have Chrom’s partner defeat the Sorcerer.
  7. 7
    After Galeforce activates, have Chrom’s partner face the boss, Grima.
  8. 8
    If both units are strong enough, Grima should be defeated in one round of battle due to Chrom’s 3-4 Dual Strikes.
  9. 9
    If Grima survives, you may need to plan further Rescue chains to bring a Dancer or Lucina with the Parallel Falchion into the fray.
Tips
  • For a one-turn completion, focus on clearing a path north and using Rescue chains to position Chrom’s partner for the boss fight.
  • If you prefer not to use the one-turn strategy, be prepared for reinforcements from sigils and the need to protect the four NPC children.
  • Consider having one group of units march north to deal with the boss while another group protects the children in the south.
  • Strong units with Galeforce can often defeat the boss in a few turns even without the optimized one-turn strategy.

Defeating Grima completes the mission. The boss is Grima (Grima, Level 30) and he has the item Expiration.
