Learn how to recruit Kjelle in Fire Emblem: Awakening's Sidequest 8, 'A Duel Disgraced.' This guide covers boss strategies, unit placement, and treasure hunting.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start on a map with basic class enemies. Your primary goal is to reach Kjelle, who is a Knight surrounded by archers. Thankfully, she's a Knight and can take a few hits, giving you some breathing room.
- 2As you advance up the main hallway, consider sending individual units to block off side corridors. This helps manage enemy advances and prevents them from overwhelming your team. Keep an eye on the stairways, as enemies often appear from them.
- 3Aim to reach the door where Kjelle is located by Turn 4 or 5 at the latest. This is crucial because reinforcements will start appearing from the stairways on Turn 5. If you can secure Kjelle before then, you'll be in a much better position.
- 4Once Kjelle is safe and your team is secure, prioritize opening the chests. The boss, Cassius, is a stationary Sorcerer and won't move, so you don't need to worry about the map ending before you can get the loot.
- 5After dealing with the chests and ensuring your team's safety, focus on defeating Cassius.
Tips
- Make sure to bring a unit with the Locktouch skill or have a few Door Keys on hand. There's a Door Key available on the map if you're short, but no Chest Keys, so plan accordingly.
- This sidequest is generally easier than other children-recruitment quests, mainly due to the lack of powerful, mobile bosses and the presence of basic enemies.
- Be prepared for reinforcements on Turn 5. Setting up defensive positions or clearing out key areas before then will make dealing with them much smoother.
- Recruit Kjelle (Knight, Level 10)
- Cassius drops Waste and a Dracoshield.
