Complete the Great Bridge of Myrddin mission in fire emblem warriors three hopes. Recruit Linhardt and achieve S Rank with these strategies.
- 1Mission 1: Seize the strongholds to secure the escape route
Order allies to capture 3 or 4 of the strongholds. The main task is to save Count Gloucester, Lorenz’s father, who’s stuck deep in enemy territory. For this purpose, you’ll need to capture the four strongholds in the north part of the map and the very center. With 4 controllable characters and 4 non-controllable characters, you don’t need to take on every stronghold by yourself. Instead, open the Orders menu with [button] and send at least four characters to a different stronghold each. The stronghold south of the allied camp is guarded by a sword wielder, so combat them with lances. Same with the stronghold near the center, where a bunch of NPCs, including Acheron are. Meanwhile the two strongholds to the north and north-east are protected by lance users, who are weak to axes. If you don’t have two axe users, send non-Sword units.
- 2Mission 2: Defeat the Fighter and save Count Gloucester
As the battle unfolds, an enemy Fighter will start engaging Count Gloucester, near the south-east corner. The count is weak to the axe-wielding Fighter, so time is of the essence. To open the gates, defeat the nearby stronghold captain. They’re also axe wielders, so a sword user is recommended. Sword-wielding Shez would be ideal.
- 3Mission 3: Defeat Acheron and his minions
If you played Three Houses, you probably saw this coming. After rescuing Count Gloucester, Acheron will defect to the empire. The central stronghold, plus the two strongholds near the allied camp will return to enemy control. Now you have to go back and retake them. Without further ado, order some characters to retake the non-central stronghold. Meanwhile, you should control somebody (ideally with Gauntlets) to whack Acheron around a bit.
- 4Mission 4: Protect the Alliance Soldiers as they retreat
While the betrayal is still fresh, three Alliance Soldiers will spawn towards the west, south and north-east and begin heading to the allied camp in the north-west corner. The soldiers to the west and north-east will be attacked by enemies, so you’ll need to help them. Order some spare hands to dispatch the enemies harrassing the Alliance Soldiers. This mission also ties with Mission 3, as the southern Alliance Soldier will end up passing through the stronghold occupied by Acheron.
- 5Mission 5: Defeat Caspar
Caspar will emerge from the south-east corner.
Strategies:
- Persuade Linhardt (Cost: 10): Convince an enemy general to join your army. This is necessary to recruit Linhardt.
- Reversal (Cost: 10): Begin the battle with some enemy and ally positions switched. This allows you to skip across half the map but places an enemy in your allied camp.
- Call in Guards (Cost: 10): Summon a support unit to cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) the Alliance general’s retreat. Useful for protecting NPCs.
- Alliance Sniper Fusillade (Cost: 10): Have the Alliance Snipers loose a fusillade of arrows.
- False Rumors (Cost: 10): Slightly weaken the enemy for a period of time by demoralizing them at the start of battle.
- Stronghold Sabotage (Cost: 10): Decrease the durability of all enemy strongholds at the beginning of battle.
S Rank Requirements:
- Completion Time: 17:00
- Enemies Defeated: 1200
- Damage Taken: 50%
- Choosing the Reversal strategy will save time at the start.
- Focus on ordering your allies to take strongholds while you deal with bosses.
- To defeat 1200 foes, around 70 foes per minute are needed. Switch characters or use Shadow Slide to move around quickly if you need more enemies.
- Avoid taking 50% damage, especially on higher difficulties. If struggling, try again when you are stronger.
