Beat Sidequest 12 in Fire Emblem: Awakening

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's dive into Sidequest 12, 'Disowned by Time.' This one can be a bit tricky if you're not prepared, but we'll get you through it. The main thing to remember here is positioning and speed, especially with those pesky thieves!

Walkthrough

1
Map Setup: As soon as you start, you'll notice the map is pretty cramped, especially for non-flying units. The enemies are a mix of basic and advanced classes, so be ready for anything.
2
The Thieves: The moment the map begins, two Thieves will make a run for the chests. These guys are your top priority! If they reach the chests and escape, you miss out on the loot. Use your flying units to intercept them quickly. They're not tough, but they're fast and their only goal is to grab that treasure and bail.
3
Recruiting Morgan: Keep an eye out for Morgan, who is an NPC on this map. You can recruit him/her by having either your Avatar or Chrom talk to them. They'll usually be somewhere north on the map, so you can try to grab them on your way to the boss.
4
Enemy Threats: Besides the Thieves, you've got standard enemies. Pay attention to their ranges and skills, as the tight corridors mean you'll often be fighting in close quarters.
5
Reinforcements: Be aware that reinforcements will appear from the stairway at specific turns. The source doesn't list the exact turns, so keep an eye on your turn counter and be ready to adjust your formation.
6
The Boss: The boss is a Risen Chief, a Griffon Rider at Level 10. They're stationary, which is a small mercy. They've got the Tomahawk and a Goddess Icon. While they don't move, they're still a threat, so approach with caution.

Tips

Bring a unit with the Locktouch skill. This is crucial for opening the chests scattered around the map. Without it, you're leaving valuable items behind.
Flying units are your best friends on this map. They can reach the Thieves quickly, deal with enemies in awkward spots, and generally provide much-needed mobility in the cramped spaces.
Don't underestimate the basic enemies. Even with limited space, they can chip away at your units if you're not careful. Focus on taking them out efficiently.
Proceed with caution and always check enemy ranges and skills before making your move. The tight map design means you can easily get surrounded or caught in an unfavorable engagement.
