Complete walkthrough for the Silver Snow route (Black Eagles branch) in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, covering Chapter 12, Chapter 13, and Chapter 14, including dialogue choices and battle strategies.
Walkthrough
- 1Chapter 12:
- This chapter has limited time for activities.
- 2Hilda can ONLY be recruited this month. Achieve B rank support with her or increase her stats to meet recruitment criteria, then speak to her in the last week.
- 3Edelgard and Hubert leave the party. Catherine, Cyril, and Seteth join.
- 43/21: Explore the monastery. No more lost items. Below are dialogue choices for interactions:
- Ignatz: "I feel the same"
- 5Leoni: "Her ideals are in conflict with yours"
- 6Dedue: "Your truly alright with that"
- 7Sylvain: "I have no idea"
- 8Ashe: "Everything will be alright"
- 9Dorothea: "Us or her you mean?"
- 10Marianne: "We can't win if you run"
- 11Alois: "I'm depending on you"
- 12Rhea: "I will try"
- 13Accept a quick quest from Seteth: speak to the female guard in the entrance hall and report back.
- 14Spend remaining activity points as desired.
- 15Note: If Hilda is recruited before the end of the month, her Paralogue unlocks and remains available until 5/26 in Part 2.
- 16This is the only time to increase Rhea to A rank support (if B rank was achieved before merging with Sothis), which affects the ending.
- 173/31 Battle:
- You are heavily outnumbered by Edelgard's forces (mages, archers, brigands, cavalry, armored knights).
- 18Objective: Defeat enemy forces and prevent them from killing Rhea or breaching the monastery gate.
- 19The Knights of Seiros provide support, but are fragile. Ballistae and magic ballistae are useful.
- 203 flying demon beasts advance towards the gate. Enemies are at the outer gate; eliminate them first.
- 21Enemy units operate ballistae targeting you and allies.
- 22Enemy controls 2 strongholds preventing reinforcements: one guarded by Hubert (dark mage), the other by Death Knight.
- 23You can ignore strongholds and attack Edelgard (Flame Emperor class) directly, but defeating Hubert and Death Knight makes it easier.
- 24Death Knight can be defeated with planning, ballistae, and using allies as bait.
- 25After Hubert and Death Knight are defeated, Edelgard's group advances towards the outer gate.
- 26Chapter 13:
- Start the battle alone with Seteth.
- 27Many thieves are present, some carrying healing concoctions. Rely on these for healing if Seteth's Faith is low.
- 28Protect Seteth, as he may not be well-trained.
- 29Turn 3: Former students (Dorothea, Caspar, Petra) join.
- 30Turn 5: Ferdinand, Lindhardt, and Bernadetta join.
- 31Combine forces to defeat all thieves.
- 32Defeat the leader, who will retreat. You must kill him and his allies before he escapes.
- 33Chapter 14:
- 1/1: Answer "Let's win no matter what".
- 34Time Skip: 5 years have passed. Students and recruited allies are stronger and can give seminars.
- 351/4: Only 1 free day before the next battle; explore.
- 36You can only interact with recruited allies.
- 37Students can now give advanced drills (faculty training).
- 38Dialogue choices for exploration (only if character was recruited):
- Bernadetta: "Hear what?"
- 39Hilda: "I'm happy too"
- 40Alois: "Right the promise"
- 41Catherine: "That's fine"
- 42Felix:"Let's forge ahead"
- 43Mercedes: "Frankly i dont feel happy"
- 44Lysithea: "I didn't do anything"
- 45Hanneman: "We can talk about that"
- 46Seteth:"We'll do whatever it takes to find her"
- 47Ashe and Lorenz are temporarily unavailable if recruited.
- 48There are 5 quests this month: 2 battle, 1 Supply Run (bring Seteth ingredients), 1 fetch quest, 1 fishing quest.
- 49Fetch Quest: Take from man in market, go to Cathedral, retrieve item, report back.
- 50Fishing Quest: Go fishing. Fodlandy and Ancient Fodlan (Purple shadow fish) appear more often during the quest, especially during "Fish of Mystery" event days in Part 2. Requires 5-star bait. Only 1 Purple shadow fish can be caught.
- 51Spend the rest of the month as desired.
- 521/31 Battle:
- Relatively simple compared to previous battles.
- 53Defeat strong enemy units scattered across the battlefield.
- 54Prevent enemies from reaching the goal behind you.
- 55An ally will appear after a turn or so; guide them to a ballista on the other side of the map.
