MAJOR SPOILERS WARNING
Chapter 27: Moment of Fate (Part 2)
Ike vs The Black Knight: 2:10
Ike challenges his sworn enemy; the Black Knight to a duel to the death!
Ike's stats:
Level - 20/20 (MAX)
HP - 60 (MAX)
STR - 26 (MAX)
SKL - 27 (MAX)
SPD - 28 (MAX)
LCK - 26
DEF - 24 (MAX)
Strategy: Well if you don't have Aether, here's what you can do.
1.) Make sure Ike's HP, Strength, and Defense are maxed by using BEXP and stat boosters before starting this chapter.
2.) Use all 5 of Ike's turns to attack the Black Knight, attack him from a distance so that he can't activate Luna.
3.) Make sure Mist is promoted with a total attack of 20 (Weapon + Strength = Attack) so that she can 1 turn kill the Bishop that spawns at the end of turn 2 that will otherwise heal the Black Knight.
During step 3 is the Black Knight's only chance to defeat Ike as he will be wounded by two attacks with no heals from Mist that turn. Ike will be at 22 HP when it's the enemies turn, and if the Black Knight happens to activate Luna it will hit for 34 and finish you off.
If all goes well, then the the fight SHOULD go something like this:
Black Knight's HP:
Turn 1 (Ike) - 51
Turn 1 (BK) - 48
Turn 2 (Ike) - 39
Turn 2 (BK) - 36
Turn 3 (Ike) - 27
Turn 3 (BK) - 24
Turn 4 (Ike) - 15
Turn 4 (BK) - 12
Turn 5 (Ike) - 3
Turn 5 (BK) - 0
Comment: This fight is pretty luck-based but even if Aether doesn't activate, if you follow this strat Ike should come out on top (as long as you don't miss any of those 10 attacks).

I love how the slash marks in BK's armor in his Radiant Dawn artwork pretty much confirm that Ike used Aether to beat him.
@@inkllama5445 But getting his ass to activate it to make said soup. The way Ike DIDN'T activate Aether in my playthrough I basically had to order takeout.
@@kingladekahn was it at least good take-out? Or is Ike's soup always superior?
this is resolve/wrath/adept erasure
I never noticed it. Where do you see it?
@@kingladekahn On my run where I managed to beat him, Ike never proc'd Aether at all.
Which I'm told is _very_ rare and I'm very lucky for it.
Black Knight - "Do you have any final words?"
*Ike rushes into the room brandishing Ragnell*
"Prepare yourself!"
"I fight for my friends.."
"AETHER!"
You'll get no sympathy from me
Black Knight: Easily the best Fire Emblem villain. This is legitimately the only fight in the entire series I was hungrily anticipating.
I know, right? He was well-written, and was so imposing, it was like the player kept looking over their shoulder for him.
@@custom-r
Especially what his behavior showed when he was chasing you.
You should play Fire Emblem 4 (geneology of the holy war)
It leaves the Black knight like a child compared to him.

I don't wanna give spoilers to the people.
If you play it you'll know it
There were no traps, the black knight was just so heavy the castle fell when he hit the floor.
There were no traps, the Black Knight's warp powder just malfunctioned.
(Yes I know about the Japanese version, shh).
“My sword-fighting skills were given to me by my father. If I stay true to them, I cannot lose.”
Holy fuck I love Ike. Best FE character in the franchise and it’s not remotely close.
4:55
Ike: "There's too many soldiers in here, run Mist!"
5:01
Ike: "Actually nevermind Mist, you got this."
well, she IS Greil's daughter after all.
+Sayem
Mist Aether*
Yeah. When she is high level she can do significant damage.
This entire mission is notable because it's basically the only one-on-one duel in the entire franchise, with Mist basically just being there so that Ike can have an equivalent to BK's regeneration.
TheBType it's kind of garbage because Ike can Regen with Aether so it makes mist healing far to easy for the player.
To be fair, sticking Aether on Ike is a choice. It's not mandatory.
What about Ryoma and Xander?
Iceaura39 Ryoma and Xander? Never heard of those two...or actually I think I remember a guy with Noodle hair who was pretty cool but yeah...don’t know who you’re talking about.
TheBType
Xander's fight is a one-on-one duel since there no way you can have your unit fight Xander but he's ridiculously easy xD
I love how Nasir, Ena, Mist and Ike all run out of the castle and the enemies just standing there like: "So, you seen Godzilla VS Kong, yet?"
When the Black Knight says he commends you, I couldn't help but feel accomplished.
+firdauskotp
And this is Black Knight we are talking about.
You are nothing but a weakling to him on that ONE escape Chapter.

Against MPID_Burger_King,

@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx Late to reply, but ahh yes MPID_Burger_King, MVP of chapter 9 and 10
aether and the sword did all the work
The moment Ike gets Ragnell, he becomes busted because you don't need to use no other weapon in both games.
3:56, Ike: I will finish this with my new Technique
Aether activates (Sol hits, BK at 12 hp)
Ike during the Luna phase: DIE
Ike misses luna phase
BK: Wow, that came way too close from finishing me off.
Ike stares at BK with discontent
XD of course that would happen.
Actually, I think it's Luna first, then Sol. Because he doesn't recover HP until the second hit.
OmniHarrier Nope. When Aether procs, the Sol hit always comes 1st, then the Luna hit. In the time stamp I gave, Ike hit the 1st part of his Aether skill and got hp, then missed the 2nd part (Luna) of his attack.
Unless its heroes aether then its guaranteed to hit
I would have laughed even harder if BK procced Eclipse right after
@@d3-ll754 Sol is the one that heals silly
2:33 Ike: "Third time should work. Maybe..."
I love how the mooks just stand around while Ike and company talk and run off
+Nicholas Morgan
Generic Soldier : Welp, we are all fucked...
3:35 If you just want to see a PoR Aether.
Most hype attack in the series.
When I saw the second Aether I thought: "Yes finish him fast!" Then the second attack missed and I thought: "That was so close." That actually reminds me of one of my playthroughs. I attacked the BK and I got Aether. Both hits landed. Enemy Phase. BK attacks. I land a second Aether and both attacks connect.
Imagine getting to this point and Ike only ever got 1 strength level up
It's been several years since I have played this game and I still remember the feeling of satisfaction from killing the Black Knight. He is still my favorite Fire Emblem villain. The Ike games were the first Fire Emblem games they released in the U.S (or at least I am pretty sure they are) so they will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember how much I loved Ike, Soren, Brom, Haar, Giffca, and Tibarn. Soren was my favorite Fire Emblem character before Dimitri was released. I named my second D&D character after Soren.
Fire Emblem 7 was the first in America, which was 2 games before this.
Me realizing this after letting mist die on her first battle
I want a remake of this and radiant dawn.
Same here. No Fire Emblem since these two have cut it for me. I’ll give Three Houses a shot, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
Why do you want a remake? What's wrong with the original games?
@@conoraq easier accessibility. Plus, animations were a big pain in that game.
@@charlierashi100 So what you want is a port with slight tweaks, not a "remake".
This was made when I was born :3 This game is awesome
Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life and Ocarina Of Time were made when I was born. Beat that.
Spike Spiegel super smash brothers melee was made when I was born
Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Mortal Kombat, Kirby's Dream Land, and Final Fantasy V were released when I was born.
Rock paper scissors was made when I was born
Ninja turtles was made when I was born
I did the same what you did. My strategy was a bit different to yours. On my last playthrough, Ike was at level 18 with speed, defense and strength maxed out. In this chapter before black knight, I boosted him to level 20 during the chapter.
On the black knight fight, The BK had one or two criticals on Ike. I had Mist to heal him with a mend (her magic stat was a bit low). Ike also defeated the Black Knight on the third turn.
I beat the Black Knight
(someone else) so?
and I used Mist to beat him
(someone else) wtf!?
You can't, it is part of the story, Only those blessed weapons can put a scratch or damage to his armor.
This is a joke, right?
@@xianmata8878 It is
I love the opening all of those characters are awesome
The music that plays when he declares victory...chills
I remember the second time i beat the Black Knight, in my first hit Ike use Aether, and then the black Knight strike with Luna, was epic
TFW 9/10 times the penultimate boss in these games is actually better than the final boss(mainly because the final boss can be one shot by the main character's weapon 9/10 times)
Except here. Ashnard is provably the hardest final boss.
+rifasclub
cause he starts fucking MOVING. I had NO IDEA he started moving when I played my second playthrough of PoR on Hard mode. I barely scraped by, I only had half a physic staff left, and the elixirs Tibarn comes with. It was ridiculous how hard Ashnard was. Ike had maxed stats in everything but luck and res, and yet couldn't double him and could barely scratch him.
Lord Raymond Well, that and the fact he refills his HP once you beat him.
Ashnard it's the hell himself in hard mode lol
@@rifasclub I felt like Ashera is harder than Ashnard.
The moment you realize how important Mist is
this is a great battle in this game
I actually had Ike pull a Crovax and kill the reinforcements to heal via Aether. Personally, using Mist here would've felt dirty and anticlimactic.
haha i know exactly what you mean.
@@SeginusKaitos
Crovax...?
You can also just used Wrath/Resolve or Adept/Resolve and become an invincible killing machine
One of the most satisfying bosses to beat in all of fe
I beat this guy recently. Mist was lvl 1 and I got fortunate that Ike would crit a lot
yeah missing the luna part happened to me once then just to dump salt on the wound black knight did his own luna but added a critical hit to that as well, did not end well.
as an outsider I can see why Ike is a favourite among the FE cast...I used to play super robot wars so I may not know the series but I know the gameplay well
Holy shit. How did you get aether to NOT proc. Do skills have lower activation % in hard?
how much did you invest in boosting mist's lvl's? i havent been using mist at all but would like to make sure i win this fight in my playthrough. i figure giving her bexp so that i can promote her might be enough for solid heals but she probably wouldnt do great against the other guards, though i am playing on normal.
You can solo the game with Ike on normal, though you e probably beaten the game since you commented here, so don't worry about your resources
3:43 so that's where Ike's up special came from! Neato!
"Tis but a scratch"
*_sees this after playing Three Houses for a while_*
Me: The more things change, the more they stay the same.
First time I did this fight I didn't have Nihil equipped in addition to Aether. Didn't even think about it, was still a novice to Fire Emblem at the time. So he kept using Luna everytime and I didn't even activate Aether once. I ended up drawing with the Black Knight. If I ever play Path again I will beat him next time.
Ike is too powerful after chapter 17...
You mean after he gets Ragnell? Ragnell and Alondite are by far the most powerful weapons in the Fire Emblem Series.
That's too.
+CorvetteCoonass Not even close. Go check out the Holy Weapons from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.
The weapons of Genealogy give +10-20 on multiple stats. For example, Book of Naga gives +20 Skill, +20 Speed, +20 Defense and +20 Resistance to the Julia and it nulifies Julius' Loptyr ability.
You only have this book for ...... 13 enemies, though.
Amazing.
Beat this fight for the first time a couple days ago. On hard mode as well. My luck was crazy, I got luna'd like 4 or 5 times, none of them killing me but all of them scaring the crap out of me. It was getting close to the turn limit and I hadn't activated aether once. I was looking to use nasir and was going to reset if I didn't win, But on the end of turn six Ike finally activated aether and killed the black knight. It was Badass.
I played the 2nd version of this on Wii and it was said that the black Knight let him win this fight because he felt like Ike was still not there yet .
you mean radiant dawn
In the Japan version he says something went wrong with his warp powder and he became significantly weaker in the battle because of it.
Ike used the power of friendship
Hard mode more like god mode, because this is legendary
I'm sad. Didn't get to see this, I didn't get enough aether procs.
Lmao never used mist and my Ike’s strength stat never got very high even at max level so I had to escape one never been more angry
How to make lke learn the fighting skill. Like assign what skills for lke
Occult scroll (Aether for Ike)
Aether is Ike’s master skill. I see people have alternative skills for him. Resolve and wrath/adapt and wrath.
>>Whating fight an assist trophy really feels like
I don’t know anything about fire emblem but i have a thing for badass knights
This sounds like a soulcalibur song
I deliberately dragged my feet during this fight. I knew that if i killed the Black Knight...... i would get Nasir and i am not happy for what he did regardless of the reasons. So i threw the fight so i could get Ena.
Isn't Ena weaker than Nasir?
Nasir has more attack but he isn't a good attacker either. Actually it doesn't matter that much. They are both stone walls and they both do that just fine.
***** You got a good point there. I just thought out of the 2 dragons available, I foubd Ena lacking in comparison.
Im a little lost since i haven‘t played path of radience and radiant in a long time, but if you defeat black knight in path of radience, is he actually dead or does he survive this fight? Im a bit confused.
Mr. CinOs Game Channel *spoilers* he survives and returns in radiant dawn. The English and Japanese versions both have different reasons as to why he survives, though.
ThatoneZeldaFan: He mentioned that he let Ike win in order for Ike to get stronger so he can actually have a challenge. What was the Japanese reason for his survival though?
Not worth hearing about.
+Sayem
He survives.
The Black Knight didn't die in the Castle Fall because his Blessed Armor protected him from the falling rubble.
Ike couldn't land the Killing Blow because he knows that he can't deal much damage anyway.
6:21 Did....did they just get bodied...by a trap that THEY activated?!
that is finally just a big luck thing , if u can defeat him or not . If Ike deceide to attack with a special move in this 7 rounds or not
I love how Ike sees the black knight kill a person right in front of him and he's like "I'll take her but more importantly, I'm here to throwdown"
Ike has a healer xD
I didn’t Ike special move aether does twice😱
Still can't believed i got aether activate three Times in this battle, in the first time i fought him
You have to respect that the Black Knight is not some cowardly foe. Despite his blessed armor making him damn near invincible, he deliberately handed Ike a sword that could break through and harm him in order to test his might and see who was strongest.
Okay and now the castle is collapsing because Ike killed the black knight why does fire emblem make me so worried!!
So that’s what I missed because my dang Ike refused to proc Aether.
ike must crit in this fight or you will never win
Is there any way to win this fight without aether? I raged so much after playing this same fight over and over because Ike wouldn’t use his flippin aether!
Another popular method is to equip Ike with Wrath and Resolve to increase his Crit (3x dmg), Strength (more dmg per hit), Speed (enough to double BK), and Skill (to never miss hits on BK) but at the risk of Ike needing to be below 50% health
You could also use Nihil to prevent BK activating his Luna.
If you want to start a new game.
I recommend you to train Mist then during that chapter of BK.
You should equip Ike with Wrath and Resolve provided with Mist' healing abilities.
Daein Soldiers be like: Castle falling on us? Its fiiiiine.
3:42 More replay 🤤
What emulator is this
2019 ?
Wish mist wasn't there
The Black Knight managed to escape before he actually died. And the man is General Zelgius.
3:58 Aether!!!!!!!!!!!
You can argue that gameplay wise, this encounter is kinda crap, as it's quite rng dependent if you're relying on Aether procs and not Wrath.
In terms of narrative, this is the best fight Fire Emblem has ever had. Forget Arvis. Forget Edelgard. Forget Gharnef. Forget Ashnard. Forget Zephiel. Forget ANY other showdown. While a case of revenge, it's a damn good one. It's really hard for a revenge encounter to be done this well.
I would have liked this battle to not involve mist... makes it to easy
I beat him in hard with nihil instead of aether, it was one of the most challenging think in my video game life.
Cool
I can't believe that Ena is as bad as everybody says she is. I'm going to throw the fight in my second playthrough and train Ena instead. Also, why wasn't the Black Knight an unlockable trial map character? I'd rather have him than Ashnard and Oliver.
Especially Oliver.
At least Ashnard has his battle theme even when you use it. Oliver is useless in every mean.
Agreed. Why did they make that lunatic playable in Radiant Dawn? And why couldn't we re-recruit the Black Knight? I just can't get enough of his awesome battle music.
The reason she sucks is because she's a Lvl 10 Dragon, compared to Nasir, who's a Lvl 18 Dragon. Nasir is all around better if you can get him.
Ena could possibly be stronger than Nasir if you accumulate and save a lot of bonus experience and train Ena and have her reach level 20.
Oh, there's no doubt she can surpass Nasir. But still, it's a lot of trouble to go through, and Nasir's already really strong by himself. Nine times out of ten, the best units are the ones that require very little effort to become strong. It's a bit like Pokémon, in that way.
You know the Black Knight really isn't a "bad guy" he's just misunderstood.
Slater Brazeal lol no, he tried killing ike's father for the sole reason of besting him, he succeed, feels like he didnt kill him properly, then proceeds to try and kill his son for good measure, i seriously wonder what's going on inside his head
Slater Brazeal Zelgius
Zelgius is a dickhead, fuck him.
@@hiraeth437
His own selfishness robbed him of his rank.
This is the first ive seen of people that hate the black knight oh my god
Anyone still play in 2018? How many replays?
qunius I do, beat Path of Radiance and then continued with Radiant Dawn, and transfered my data to receive the bonus stuff I am currently on part 4: Of gods and men chapter 1 road to the empire
I just started
I beat it, Astrid is surprisingly overpowered in PoR, Paragon Hacks :/
Still here.
After witness the battle I had (Aether and then Luna on the first asaault) I can barely feel something when seeing such boring initial blows. Lol
Though it was f@cking epic.
Im so disappointed BK's fight in RD was so easy. This battle felt so much more rewarding when you beat him.
When I played this on hard mode, the Black Knight could double me?
Had to restart 11 times
+CrimsonZero
Perhaps you didn't promote your Cavs.
You get some Promotion Items on Chapter 21 though.
This fight is sweet, but it's too bad how luck-based it is.
Am I the only one who was slaughtered by a luna proc?
It's such bs that they don't let you save right before this battle. You're basically at the mercy of RNG for whether or not Aether or Luna procs. One of the most unfair and inconsistent battles ever. But I guess that's what they were going for.
aether and luna are crits, if you have a crit chance they will proc.
man
Weird how the game focuses on the wielded weapon rather than inserting the names of the combatants
I mean, the names are displayed right at the beginning of combat. You should know what character you are using and fighting against, it’s the weapon that is most important to know in battle.
Lol aether missed lol wot
fire emblem fighting game pls
so basically if you didn't train Mist you can't win against the Black knight?? Great, 29 hours of my life wasted lol
Such a stupid boss. Why would they make people a boss rely this much on rng
Me: Let mist die and didn't restart cause I didn't realize this fight is legit impossible without her. 🫨
