Learn how to achieve an S Rank in the Western Erebus Territory mission in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. This guide covers enemy counts, side missions, and boss strategies.
- 1Mission 1: Defeat 300 Enemies
Your primary objective is to defeat 300 enemies. There are ample enemies on the map, and completing side missions will contribute to this count. For an S Rank, you need a total of 600 enemy kills.
- 2Side Mission: Defeat the Mage to Stop their Magic attack
A Mage will appear near the center of the map and cast magic in the form of lightning strikes. These strikes are telegraphed by large red circles on the ground. Eliminate the Mage as soon as possible to prevent these annoying and time-consuming attacks.
- 3Side Mission: Don’t let the Thief reach the Central Pier
A Thief will spawn in the upper right corner of the map and attempt to reach the Central Pier in the lower left. Intercept the Thief; they will stop and engage you when confronted. Ensure you reach them before they arrive at their destination.
- 4Side Mission: Protect the Pegasus Knights
Two sets of two Pegasus Knights will appear in the south and northeast areas. Your task is to protect them while they gather forces. Enemy units will attack them. Quickly send allies to one set while you personally defend the other. Once both sets are safe, they will join the Imperial Army.
- 5Mission 2: Defeat Gustave
After defeating 300 enemies, the main commander, Gustave, will appear in the center of the map. He wields an axe and shield and is notably tanky. Defeat Gustave to complete the battle.
