Learn how to recruit Inigo in Fire Emblem: Awakening's Sidequest 6, 'A Man for Flowers.' Get tips on beating Jamil and earning the Hammerne staff!

Alright, let's tackle Sidequest 6, 'A Man for Flowers'! This one's pretty straightforward but has a neat little bonus if you play your cards right. Your main goal here is to recruit a new ally and then deal with the boss. We'll go over the best way to approach this map, especially with those pesky flying units and tricky Assassins.

Boss:

  • Name: Jamil
  • Class: Assassin
  • Level: 15
  • Items: Silver Sword, Silver Bow, Master Seal

New Unit:

  • Name: Inigo
  • Class: Mercenary
  • Level: 10
  • Recruit: Talk with Chrom or Olivia
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you need to get Inigo to join your cause. Find him on the map and initiate a conversation with either Chrom or Olivia. Once he's on your side, he'll remark on needing to defeat a bunch of enemies. The more he takes down, the better your rewards will be, so keep that in mind!
  2. 2
    After recruiting Inigo, the map opens up. You'll want to make a move towards the fort. The map description mentions that staying outside too long will get you swarmed by flying units from the north and south. So, a swift advance is usually best.
  3. 3
    You have a couple of tactical options here. You can try to hold the entrance to the fort, which is a narrow choke point that can help you manage enemies coming from two directions. Alternatively, you can lure enemies into the narrower corridors inside the fort, picking them off one by one.
  4. 4
    If you find yourself getting overwhelmed by the flying units early on, or if the rush of enemies when you enter the fort is too much, there's another strategy. You can position your units in the woods outside the fort (after recruiting Inigo, so he doesn't rush ahead alone) and deal with those annoying flying units first. Once they're cleared, you can then move into the fort.
  5. 5
    Another variation is to use the fort's entrance as a staging ground. Position your units there and engage enemies while staying out of range of the units inside the fort. Choose whichever approach best suits your army's composition and strengths.
  6. 6
    Once you're inside the fort, be prepared for a mix of armored units and ranged attackers positioned behind them. Walls can be a problem, so try to deal with enemies quickly to maintain your positioning and avoid getting cornered. Expect some powerful ranged attacks, both magical and physical, so keep your units healthy.

Tips:

  • Pay close attention to the enemies inside the fort. You'll find armored units backed up by ranged attackers. Don't let yourself get boxed in! Swiftly eliminate threats to create space.
