Master Chapter Seven Gaiden: The Black Shadow in Fire Emblem Heroes! Learn enemy placements, boss stats, item locations, and a turn-by-turn strategy to defeat all foes and earn rewards.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin by sending Sain west to defeat the guarding soldier. Have Nils play for Sain. Move Matthew to start breaking the western wall. Serra should stay near Nils to heal if he takes damage from the nearby brigand. Position Florina to the east and Wil to snipe the mage. Dorcas and Lyn should advance towards the brigand in the middle hall.
- 2Heal Nils if he is hit. Matthew should finish breaking the wall. Sain can defeat the archer. Use Nils to support Matthew so he can loot the chest for a Hammer. Lyn and Dorcas can defeat the brigand. Florina should wait for the cavalier approaching her. Wil will finish the mage. Move Erk and Lucius closer. Aim to get these units to level 5 for EXP gains.
- 3The thief will open the north door. Matthew should steal the lockpick from the thief. Sain can stay behind. Lucius can engage the new soldier. By now, Wil, Lucius, and Erk should be near level 5. Erk can attack the cavalier threatening Florina after she uses her vulnerary. Lyn should move up the middle path with Dorcas behind her. Use Nils to support Serra, who can then move east to heal Wil.
- 4Reinforcements appear near Beyard: a Soldier (Turn 3), a Mage, and a Shaman (Turn 4). Matthew should defeat the soldier if he hasn't already. Sain can defeat the shaman. Dorcas can use the Hand Axe on the advancing brigand, with Lyn finishing it off. Erk can move up near Dorcas, and Lucius can move near Dorcas. Wil can stay near Lucius, and Serra can heal Wil.
- 5The mage will target Sain. Sain can defeat the mage with a double attack, even if wounded. Matthew can move near Sain. Lyn should confront the remaining mercenaries. The rest of the group (Lucius, Erk, Wil, Dorcas) should follow behind Lyn. Florina can trail behind them, and Nils and Serra can move up to provide healing if necessary.
- 6Sain will take a significant hit from Beyard. Lyn will be badly wounded by the mercenaries but will have nearly defeated them. Use mages like Erk to finish off any remaining mercenaries if they are not level 5. Dorcas or Wil can finish the other mercenary. Finally, defeat Beyard with Sain. Avoid having Matthew attack Beyard at this stage.
