Conquer Chapter 20 of Fire Emblem: Awakening! Learn boss strategies, item locations, and the best unit formations to defeat Cervantes, Excellus, and Walhart.
Alright, we're diving into Chapter 20, titled "The Sword or the Knee." This map throws a few tough bosses at you, but don't sweat it! We've got Cervantes, Excellus, and the big bad Walhart himself. Plus, there are some sweet items hidden around, so definitely bring a unit with the Locktouch skill.
For this map, you've got a couple of main approaches. You can either split your forces into three groups – one heading west, one east, and one straight north – or you can keep everyone together and push north as a single unit. The idea is that your strongest group should be the one heading up the middle, as they'll be facing the brunt of the enemy. The side groups will act as support, and they'll eventually link up with the main force as you navigate the narrower paths.
Keep an eye out for reinforcements! They'll start pouring in from the bottom of the map on the turn *after* a soldier announces it. You'll probably be pretty far north by then, but be ready to deal with them if you're not.
Bosses:
- Cervantes — Class: General, Level: 10, Items: Tomahawk, Dracoshield
- Excellus — Class: Sage, Level: 10, Item: Bolganone
- Walhart — Class: Conqueror, Level: 25, Items: Wolf Berg, Bullion (L)
- Bring a unit with Locktouch to snag those valuable items scattered across the map.
- Consider splitting your army into three groups to cover more ground, or keep them united for a strong push.
- Your central group should be your most powerful, as they'll face the most resistance.
- Be prepared for enemy reinforcements arriving from the south later in the battle.
