Unlocking Paralogues

Learn how to unlock Paralogues in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation, including recruiting child units and scaling enemy levels. Get tips for optimal timing!

Hey there! So you're looking to dive into the world of Paralogues in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation? Awesome! These side missions are super rewarding, but they can be a little tricky to figure out how to start. Don't worry, I've got your back. Let's break down how to get them rolling.

Basically, after you get past Chapter 14, most Paralogues become available when your male characters reach S-rank with a compatible female character. Think of it like getting married in the game – once that happens, if they have a child character linked to them, that kid will be ready to join your army!

Now, there's a bit of a sweet spot for tackling these. The enemies in Paralogues will always scale up to match your army's level. This is great because it means you won't be steamrolling them, but it also means you need to be mindful of when you go. If you tackle a Paralogue too early, especially the first one with Mozu (who starts as a Lv. 1 Villager), you might end up with a new recruit who's way underleveled and needs a ton of babysitting. On the flip side, if you wait until super late in the game, while the child unit won't need much training, they could be in danger of getting taken out by the tough enemies.

Here's a pro-tip for those late-game recruits: if you wait until the very end of the campaign, the child characters will actually come with an item called an Offspring Seal. Using this right away will instantly bring them up to your current army level. Pretty neat, huh?

Honestly, Paralogues are fantastic for getting some extra experience points for your veteran units. There's really no downside to completing them whenever they pop up. Just remember that the enemy stats can change depending on your army's level and when you decide to jump in, so the game doesn't provide specific enemy breakdowns for these missions.

So, get those S-ranks up and get ready for some extra battles – it's totally worth it!
