Walkthrough for Fire Emblem Heroes Chapter Sixteen: Whereabouts Unknown. Learn enemy details, item locations, and strategies to seize the throne and recruit new allies.

Objective: Seize throne

New characters: Raven (appears as an enemy - talk with Priscilla quickly before the ally soldiers attack him), Lucius (ally - will wait and do nothing until Raven talks to him as a blue unit)

Enemies: Archer L3 w/Iron Bow, Archer L4 w/Short Bow, Archer L5 w/Iron Bow, 4 Archer L6 w/Iron Bow (one with Door Key, one with Vulnerary), 2 Archer L7 w/Iron Bow, 2 Archer L8 w/Steel Bow (one with Chest Key DROPPED, one with Door Key DROPPED), 2 Archer L8 w/Iron Bow, Fighter L4 w/Hammer DROPPED, Knight L3 w/Iron Lance, Vulnerary, 3 Knight L4 w/Iron Lance (one with Door Key), Knight L4 w/Javelin, Knight L5 w/Javelin, Knight L5 w/Iron Lance, Door Key DROPPED, Knight L5 w/Steel Lance, Shaman L2 w/Flux

Reinforcements:

  1. Turns 7 to 9 from far south western corner: Cavalier L5 (all with Iron Lance except for one who has an Iron Sword)
  2. Turns 8 to 11 from central room staircase: Shaman L5 w/Flux

Boss Data: Bernard (General L1 w/Steel Lance, HP 29, STR 14, SKL 9, SPD 3, DEF 13, RES 10, LUC 2, CON 15)

Items: Unlock Staff (southern chests, left), Hero Crest (southern chest, right), Knight Crest (northern chests, left), Silver Sword (northern chests, right), 2 Door Key (steal), 2 Vulnerary (steal), 2 Door Key (kill units), Chest Key (kill archer), Hammer (kill fighter)

Strategy: Ditch the standard set of people, except this time replace Serra with Priscilla. If you're having problems fitting in Lyn's party, ditch an archer and take either of the cavalier duo as well as Lyn herself. Send Oswin down to the south west in preparation for the reinforcements. He will be Merlinus's guard. Everyone else should head up, take care of the knight with Hector and the archers will fall with teamwork. Florina should be kept away from the archers, Priscilla should be near the front but also away from the archer's range. Matthew should be going as fast as possible to the left room with a chest in it. The shaman will pose little threat. Make sure he has a vulnerary in case he gets hit for taking on the archer. The others should move up and across, take out the knights with axemen or a cavalier with a Steel Lance. The archers prove pesky, but work through them slowly but steadily. At this stage, Matthew should have taken the chests and should be moving towards the main group. Using Florina for quicker transport isn't a bad idea. Moving up through the passage, send Priscilla to Raven. Raven will not attack her. The green guards soon get released. You need to rescue at least one to access the next Gaiden chapter and there are different rewards depending on how many you save. I recommend saving just the one soldier, because you get the best reward; a Mine. 2 soldiers results in a Light Rune and 3 results in a Red Gem. At this stage, funds isn't a major issue, but rescuing all 3 soldiers isn't such a bad idea. Hector, Erk and the cavalier should be tearing up the remaining knights up north. Matthew and Florina should be just about back from down south. Oswin will start taking on cavaliers from down south, but they will not be dealing much if any damage at all. Raven should have talked to Lucius, just wait around there. Shaman start flooding in the middle area; take care of them with Florina for some EXP. Lucius is a good choice as well. Take the northern two chests with either a Chest Key or Matthew and quickly handle Bernard with Hector, who should have little problems with him. Back him up with Priscilla as needed.

NOTE: Merlinus joins here if you did not go to Chapter Thirteen Gaiden. Also, an easy way to ensure you get the reward you want from the green soldiers is to rescue as many as you need (at least one) and let the others kill themselves (which they inevitably will do anyway). Watch out, because sometimes they manage to somehow kill Raven...
