Worst Levels Ever # 13

- Okay, even though Battle Before Dawn will always be my most hated level from any game, not just from Fire Emblem, it's not the only potentially annoying chapter in the series.
For this episode, we take a look at what is widely regarded as the most annoying desert chapter in the FE series. Personally, I don't feel as much hate towards this level as most levels I've featured in Worst Levels Ever, I even find it kinda fun, but I can certainly see why other people would hate it. - Hry
I love the sound of the silence staff. Well not the sound, but the sudden lack of it. It even cuts the music.
I actually found it super funny one time. I wanted to silence Ursula with Serra, so i went close to her and used the staff on ursula, and i was expecting an awesome silence when..... Missed. And the lack of sound after that out of the anticipation (First silence ever) was such a poker face moment.
@@janmarcoperezbatres2203 I know I'm 2 years late with this comment, but this exact scenario happened to me, and I got a little chuckle, knowing that someone was going to die in my party.
That's gotta be one of the funniest spell animations I've ever seen in any game
@@janmarcoperezbatres2203 I bet Erk wishes he could use a silence staff on Serra
Fire Emblem has its fair share of bad chapters, that's for sure. But none, I repeat, NONE will ever come anywhere near close to the awfulness that is Tear Ring Saga Map 16: Dark Beasts. That is, easily, THE single worst map in any Fire Emblem-style game. (TRS pretty much is a Fire Emblem game)
Let me attempt to sum up the nightmare: you're in a HUGE cave-based map. The only enemies are Opus, basically Mogals from Sacred Stones... that can MULTIPLY. Yes, every single enemy on the map can split in two. And there's at least 40 there to START with. Opus are also really annoying: they fly, so people in the rear aren't safe, and their weapon has no weight so they double you a lot and are hard to double back. Oh, and the boss also makes more of them: 4 at a time. (AND they can split on the turn they're created too)
The map is also mostly swamp tiles, you know, the ones from Gaiden that hurt you every turn you're on them AND slow your movement to a crawl. Of course the enemies just fly over them... Oh, and the map's victory condition? It's not Rout. You can FINALLY finish killing all the annoying bastards, which took me AROUND 4 HOURS the first time I played, and it still won't be over. Now, you win by... opening all the chests? Well, the good news is your main Lord has an innate lockpicking ability, so it's impossible to be fully screwed. The bad news... aside from him, you have ONE other character who can open them. So that's 2 at most, and the chests are really spread out, one requires you to go through the swamp, one is through a secret passageway inside a wall... and god help you if you didn't deploy this second character, or put her in the other ground 6 chapters ago.
In short, this chapter took me almost 4 hours to finish my first time though. 4 HOURS! For a Fire Emblem chapter.
Holy shit.
im sure it was super tedious but at least the eyeballs are not too much of a threat if you play carefully
BigKlingy gaiden mogalls can split, so can Echoes
Blake Blast Echoes wasn’t a thing 3 years ago.
Peter Kiely what I said still applies to Gaiden
"I hope so, I haven't played Fire Emblem 5 yet."
Trust me, when you play that, you will wish you could murder civilians with your own hands, resent rewarping Dark Mages, pray for the games with limited range staves to return, and Chapters 17A and 22 will teach you that Satan's real name is Saias.
Also, really glad to see you cover my (former) least favourite chapter in the series! I fucking hated that level, and I still hate it.
*shudders* The name "Arcadia" still gives me nightmares.
Chapter 22 I swear was designed to be hell though. The only saving grace is it's not the Manchester escape. While not hard (By FE 5 standards), it's still one of the rougher spots in the game by far.
Kakelord Oh god, don't remind me about the Manster breakout. That was a horrific experience for me to keep everyone safe and alive.
Chapter 17a is not nearly as mind-grinding as chapter 22, if you got some bolting tomes to kill the ballista it's actually really easy. While chapter 22 is featuring, 3 bosses all with total amount of 19 authority star aka 57 hit and evasion bonus to all enemies, a really big amount of mounted enemies, a bridge necessary to cross if you want to complete the chapter crumbling if you got near the boss, a ton of ballista, oh and you should not forget the 3 bosses 2 of them are very,very,very terrifying in there own way. Thank god you get a warp and a rescue staff an this map from villages.
Mens I dunno, dealing with Misha, the Dark Mages, saving Sara, dealing with the new boss that pops up behind you and all of the crap Saias causes, 17A is still pretty bad. At least with 22, you can wait it out, mostly.
Ocsttiac It's more or less as you said it is in ch. 22 with ch. 17a. You can avoid most of the games "traps" if you know whats going to happen (put Misha to sleep, after Karin talked to her ). My problem with chapter 22 is just the huge amount of hard hitting long range stuff.
...why do i find the image of Sophia getting hit by a Raspberry sponge and falling down, dead so amusing?
Because it's true. You could give her a hard stare and she'd drop dead in an instant.
Now, Imagine that you had to protect Sophia in Battle Before Dawn.
I think that would've just been impossible.
Erm... Gimme a rescue staff in earlier chapters then we'll talk.
Jesus no
Not only protect Sophia, but enemies will actively seek the best route to harm her, and only her, if available.
I remember playing this chapter on an emulator on my phone during a 6 hour airplane ride, it took the entire flight to beat the chapter and I nearly attempted to through my phone out of the emergency exit mid-flight
Mfw when I caused a plane crash because Sophia got one shotted by a wyvern in the fog of war map again
I like that they made you play Cecilia on the worse possible map she could ever be in. Its like encouraging use that she's useless and you should never play her. Same goes for sophia being a lv1 unit in the middle of the fucking game.
Cecilia really is just "We have Clarine at home" which is really not a good sign💀💀💀
If only we had "Fire Emblem maker"
Oh god it'll be apotheosis times 12.

7:58 "If you have a flying unit, you can make her carry him through the desert when most of the enemies are gone." Or have Lilina carry him, it's what I do every time I have to go through this chapter. It's also just funny to think about.
i mean its really funny that Roy has lower constitution than Lilina
@@ohandthefracking
Makes sense. She is Hector’s daughter, after all.
It sounds like what Hilda and Claude will do in Fe3H
I loved it when you go back to Sophia's and zoom through all of her stats.
Spoiler:
Raspberry sponge killed Sophia in Infinity War
HA!!! Raspberry Sponge. That's a good one XD
"I haven't played FE5 yet".
Woo boy, you're in for some surprises. Its difficulty is exaggerated, but salt is indeed strong with this game.
I love it though.
Where can i play Fe5?
It had the best story, but the gameplay was very otherwise
AJ Anthony the game with the best story is Genealogy, Thracia takes place in the middle.
I can't help but laugh at those bandits.
I mean, Maggie and Rose. I would never have called them that by their looks.
...Even if one is pink.
I think there are a total of 7 Gay bandits that look EXACTLY like Maggie and Rose, including them.
FE7 has also 2 desert's bandits just like them (maybe they are from the same family ?) called Paul and Jasmine.
***** How did I forget about Jasmine?!
That one made me laugh a lot the first time.
maesejesus Jasmine, Paul, Maggie, Rose, Gelero...
Hawkecrail I remember Awakening had Victor and Vincent. Who where twin brothers that were VERY fond of each other.
You should do your favorite chapter in the series next
Its about time we got another Best Levels Ever
Also, does any1 notice that the male mages put up their middle finger when attacking?
Actually, that's his thumb and index finger, in an 'L' formation. But I guess you can imagine whatever you want to.
Alternatively it could also be TALK TO THE HAND!
Eloquenz Kettenmeister Amethystner Wurm Chelvo I never really understood what that meant. Ignoring complaints? A sort of metaphor for eavesdropping on people talking to eachother?

I recently played HM for the first time and honestly, this chapter wasn't that bad.
In my opinion, chapter 7 is way worse. At that point you have weak units against rather good enemy units, especially the cavaliers and dragon riders. Unlike CH14, CH7 overwhelms you with enemies in the first couple of turn. Most of them lance users and the only decent axe user you have at that point is Marcus. Also, physic priests.
Also, there are three recruit-able characters in this map. 2 of which will die by turn 2, which when you can get to them. It's up to luck weather they survive or not.
On top of that, there there are enemy reinforcements at your starting position. They are cavaliers which is bad in itself, but one of them has a Silver Lance. There is one more wave of reinforcements from the boss room, but it's easier to deal with.
Overall:
-Huge map with no place to tank, leaving you open
-Dumb suicidal NPCs
-Overpowered enemies
-Long range healers at this point in the game
-Asshole reinforcements
When I think of this chapter, Arcadia seems almost relaxing. Don't get me wrong, I still think Arcadia is bullshit, but not as hard as this or some other chapters.
I never had a hard time with Noah or Jerrot getting killed. Noah spawns closer to your own units, unlike Jerrot and Treck who spawn closer to the enemy's units. I can usually get Noah and Jerrot as soon as they spawn (I use Marcus and Allance to get Jerrot). Treck on the other hand is completely surrounded by enemy units, and is slightly farther away than Jerrot. He's going to die before he can even move. He's a huge hassle to save, and saving him makes the chapter even harder.
As cruel as it sounds, the chapter is much easier if you just let Treck die as it distracts some of the enemies. Maybe Sue or Shanna could make it easier to rescue him, but those two are total burdens in this chapter.
The cavaliers in the back are annoying but thankfully there's a horseslayer in one of the villages so while they're still a threat they're a tame one. I always make sure Marcus has a D in axes so he can use the halberd by chapter 4. The healers can go fuck themselves. They always heal the most obnoxious enemies too (the wyverns and mercenaries). There's also mages, and the only units with good res at this point are Marcus, Jerrot, who can still get criticalled by the ones with thunder(which takes like a third of his health away if they do), and Ellen who can't even fight yet.
Don't underestimate the soldiers and archers either. They may be stepping stones most of the time, but with all the other threats these jerks can just sneak up and kill somebody when you least expect it. There may only be two mercenaries, but mercenaries are always obnoxious cunts to fight.
I say the map has Normal NPCs, 4 reinforcement cavs 9 turns in or whatev, Normal enemies, And weak physic users.
Why do my space downs never work augh
Good luck with trying to recruit all of the the NPC's on hard mode on FE 6 CH 7, especially when there are enemies popping out of nowhere compared to what you see during the preparation.
I agree. This chapter was pretty okay. Only took me a few tries. Chapter seven on the other hand, was just fucking ridiculous.
I haven't played FE 6 in many years and with this video i just remembered why i didn't want to play it again, but for some reason i enjoy watching someone else playing it.
Great video as always !
A few extra things to note:
1) The "Sophia-only Guiding Ring" is just plain cruel. Without using the secret shops, there are a total of 4 guiding rings for up to 8 units that use them. One of them is here and one of them is in the very last chapter before endgame, by which point if you're still using unpromoted units, what the hell is wrong with you? If you know of the secret shop, it's not so bad, but if you don't, I hope you know which mages you want to use...
2) 08:28 Hahaha, oh you wish. It wouldn't be IntSys if they did not deliver the dick move of dumping a small army of brigands (+2 Berserker bosses) where you start.
3) 11:12 So let's recap the perfect storm of pain that Intsys has delivered up to this point: Fog of War; Desert movement restrictions; 2 weak characters, one of whom can barely move, the other one can get one-rounded by...well, ANYTHING in this level; A metric ton of asshole reinforcements where you start the level; Generally powerful enemies; Status and healing assholes.
4) 12:21 But wait, there's more! Hidden items in the desert! Three in particular are extremely important to grab: The Silver Card, the Boots and the Guiding Ring (Read point 1 of this comment). Everything else, while nice to get, is not really important (Might as well grab the Talisman as it's just to the west of where you start)
5) 13:40 Okay, now THAT'S a dick move by the game! I didn't even know the FoW went away after the 25 turn limit is up.
6) A chapter with two bolting assholes is considered "Boring"? Alongside an annoying gimmick...
I find Chapter 14x boring because I end up approaching the throne very slowly. I'm afraid of someone getting killed by Bolting, or having their escape cut-off when the floor changes.
whoisthisgit after doing chapter 14 i had enough. So on 14x i used the Warp to warp Rutger to the boss and killed him. Then i had Elphin make Clarine move again then Warp Alan over and kill the other Bolting guy. then I had Roy wait back at the start (he was LvL 20 at this point) and had everyone clear out the rest of the enemies and when everyone was dead I had Miledy fly Roy over to the throne. Sooooooooooo easy
whoisthisgit Couldn’t you just tank it with a high-resistance or high-speed unit? It only has 5 uses.
XxxJim_ the_ ReaperxxX I am patient enough to wait.
@@juhaniaho6698
Patience won't be your friend if its a Ranked Run.
Ranked Runs isn't fun on Fire Emblem 6 so might as well play Fire Emblem 7.
1:48 **cough** the final boss **cough**
Dammit, I really say some stupid things sometimes, I had totally forgotten about her when I type that out. Still, I guess if the Sealed Sword broke, she could be dangerous.
whoisthisgit Yeah, but that's a pretty big if, there's only 3-5 chapters after getting the sword, so unless someone where to remove all Roy's weapons except for the SoS, there's little to no chance of breaking it.
Unless Roy were to get surrounded by a million enemies he had to fight off on his own, but that shouldn't happen if the player knows that he/she is doing.
The original incarnation of Idunn was basically lunatic dangerous, because she wielded demonstone that gave her serious stat boosts and which made her essentially impervious to physical attacks (and even to magic if she stepped on a tile that boosted her resistance by 10) and only Roy and Fae could damage her. I'm guessing they removed the demonstone from her purely because she'd be unkillable for the most part if Roy's and Fae's weapons broke (or well, you would be able to kill her with either lucky Eclipse, or with an armada of ranged light brand attacks, but that would likely come at the cost of deaths of multiple units no matter what you did).
You brought me back memories. I actually enjoy that kind of maps but I always feel nervous like you 0:
One good thing about Sophia though:
Free Flux tome.
She's a good character personality wise too.
Also extra storage space. Though free Flux matters little since Dark mages are just bad in this game.
@@smaragdchaos
Pffft
Sacae Route screws you over because you don't get Niime.
@@smaragdchaos
You're probably the person that benches Sophia after getting the gaiden chapter.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx Niime joins in Sacaean route too though, just one chapter later compared to the Illian route
I've never played a Fire Emblem game & yet my reaction to Sophia's stats while they were flying across the screen was "Oh my god, her stats are atrocious!"
Been randomly watching your videos after reminiscing with Advanced Wars. All I've taken from this video is: "wow, FE looks great, I wonder how many games in the series I need to pick up"! Thanks!
Ah, I remember getting stuck on this chapter, partly because my fliers weren't very good at this point in the game.
My strategy was basically to not use too many units (avoid unneeded deaths), focus on using my fliers, rescue my weaker units, and fly AS FAST AS I FUCKING COULD to the goal without dying.
I remember the map trying to show hordes of enemy reinforcements every turn that were covered by fog behind me, but I didn't care, I just kept running
I laughed so hard at 5:12, How you just when't back to talk shit about Sophia.
Poor Sofia though
She lived a mostly secluded life. Whether that justifies her weakness or not it doesn't help her case on a battlefield.
+Superluigi881
Just give the Nabatan Dragon a chance!
Her potential is higher than Ray's but the decision is up to you.
And being quite salty about your units being incompetent is just plain stupid.
+Nothing to see here
Sophia needs an Angelic Robe, A Speedwing, and a Body Ring to be ready for training.
However, you don't have the strategy on training her in the first place if you keep complaining the game about it.
You can do whatever you like about the Body Ring but Sophia benefits from that thing the most than Ray.
+Nothing to see here
Rutger carries Sophia anyway so that makes Chapter 14 bearable.
Just treat Rutger as a Fire Emblem Lord.
At least with Sophia, she has an in-story justification to be in that chapter. Cecilia doesn't.
You should do more Fire Emblem videos about hard chapters.
Say, have you played Sacred Stones? If you have, what did you think of Chapter 14: Father and Son? I personally found it hair tearing.
+Mighty Minotaur The berserk users are very annoying, and Vigarde is very strong, but it's never got to me like these other levels have.
+whoisthisgit The part that absolutely kicked my tail was the sudden barrage of Shaman's and Mages alongside the Beserk Druids. Ugh...
+whoisthisgit Also, I've never played Binding Blade or Blazing Sword, so I haven't gotten to go through these hellish missions yet.
+Mighty Minotaur If you want to talk about hard chapters in Sacred Stones, you should look at Lagdou Ruins level 10. It's 10 of the strongest enemies in the game, Draco Zombies, and getting to it takes well over an hour, and if you fail, you need to go through every other level again.
+Mighty Minotaur ch 6 is worse than stepping on a lego especially if trying to get orions bolt.
Wait... Holy crap.
The curing theme has the same riff as the divine weapon theme in Blazing Sword.
The final boss map in echoes was so frustrating I wanted to rip all my hair out.
Echoes map design is frustrating in itself
Nuibabas map was so damn frustrating. Nuibaba herself was just as frustrating.
I really love seeing your videos ^_^especially the FE and AW ones
thank you for doing this if I hadn't seen this I probably wouldn't have gotten this ending but right now i'll continue on with SS
Good video man. Hey, can you tell me wich recorder are you using for the game boy emulator?
Fun fact: Aside from the two Priests (that have no offensive weapons), EVERY SINGLE ENEMY ON THE MAP CAN ORKO SOPHIA. Even on Normal Mode. The only enemies she has a chance against (when being attacked) are the Brigands, and that is because of their low Hit and not her Avo.
3:54 It's the return of CRAPCILIA!
Status staves in FE 6 will almost always target the final deployed unit. Makes getting a Firestone easier.
whoisthisgit
Love you man, been on CZcams hella long and I am always seeing ur name popping up for each game I play love your sonic debug glitches bro. Awesome to see ur an FE fan too I didn't know that
Much pain was had during my own play-through of this game. Still one of my favorite series's. Also, what is the name of that song used in the outro?
I wonder if you'll do a Best Levels Ever for FE? I always liked Part 2 Endgame of Radiant Dawn and Cog of Destiny from FE7. FE8's chapter 19 is also pretty good, though it's dang hard.
Poor Sophia. The creators made her intentionally useless, there's just no other excuse for this. An interesting character wasted as a throw away unit. Everyone has beaten her so hard into the ground she's pretty much the skeleton of a dead horse at this point.
You can call me crazy but.... i hate the fact that Awakening has NO Fog of War chapter >___>
Fog of War can be fun, but the A.I's advantage when it's in effect (in most games) gets on my nerves.
whoisthisgit
its odd when it DOES effect the enemy in advance wars days of ruin,
*****
Maybe FE should get the same A.I: effect, it´s stupid to give us a hidden and the enemies a clear map >__>
whoisthisgit kinda a staple of any of the old strategy games both real time and turn based tho in real time there is almost ALWAYS fog of war on the map tho in real time games the enemy tends to abuse it more by building to counter ur units
Let’s look at it from a logical standpoint:
The enemies are always there, they KNOW where most enemies would be coming from.
I'm playing Binding Blade Hard Mode right now and I'm on chapter 13, figured I'd watch this again just to remind myself about what's coming next
"and Sophia wasnt hit by a raspberry sponge" omg xD that is a perfect example of her resistance to attacks xD
So Roy became like his father, Completely useless in some situations
No Rapier = useless
What’s especially hilarious about Sophia? Those stats would be junk even for the start of the game, where Lv 1 unpromoted is normal - and this is about halfway through the game! Who thought that was a good idea?!
Fire Emblem 5 and the first 4 Super Robot Games are the most painful games I have ever played.
Especially Super Robot Wars 3, which has a glitch that causes speed to cap at 255, when the cap for every stat is 400.
DAMN YOU, SHU SHIRAKAWA!!
That chapter transition theme is super ominous 😱😱
I reacted to the stats the same, lol
and then i saw she was level one and i was like ah, okay
Before this chapter I savestate before arena matches to get awesome level ups on 4 units (Sue, Milady, Lilina, and Roy) that I use up until the last chapter. So this one was never too much of a pain, but I can see why it'd be so goddamn annoying.
So... Many... of the same SRPGs for the past 5 episodes! You really did like those games, and I bet you still do
Unfortunately, FE6 cannot get some item which are in enemies' hand by killing them. So I cannot promote many character unless I find the secret shop.
OK, can we address how a torch helps you see through a sandstorm better?
I see you're using Gonzales. I only noticed now cause I always thought it was Geese.
My shanna got strength screwed, I didn't train milady at all last chapter and Tate isn't usable yet. I didn't train Lugh or Ray and Lilina isn't as good as I would like her to be. Wish me luck with this chapter
When I first did this chapter I only had 10 units so I had to so the game AGAIN for 10 hours
YOU'RE SCREWED, YOU'RE SO SCREWED! Good luck. You need it buddy
@Pk Ness May Saint Elimine bless your soul.
I've Noticed that the Sacred Weapons in FE6 is related to FE7 (Durandal, Forblaze, Aureola, etc....)
yo something to ask
mind of you can cover Celica's path in fire emblem echoes shadows of valentia because literally her whole path is textbook definition of how to not design a map in fire emblem
Act 2 is a shit ton of Boat maps
Act 3 is desert maps
Act 4 is swamp maps
Not sure but I think I've heard this somewhere, but doesn't a character's chance to find desert items increase by 1% for every point of Luck?
Chapter 20 in conquest is still one of my most hated. The wind
I honestly can't decide which chapter from Conquest I hate the most. I think a lot of them towards the end of the game go too far and just stop being fun. I hated Chapter 20, 24, 26 and Endgame, but I feel like 19 is objectively the worst.
whoisthisgit why do all the endgame levels of Fates have to be boring (other than coming immediately after other levels).
I stopped playing conquest at chapter 20. I did this because the story wasn't engaging enough to hold my interest, and the difficulty hit a point where it was just not fun anymore.
I agree to say it's annoying to know we can't keep level up our own MC lol, need to beat Murdock first to promote Roy 😂
Yo Git, what would be your less favorite level from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones?
MrVargasProductions Hard to say, none of them have ever given me serious trouble. The Phantom Ship came close, but I love the atmosphere of that level. I suppose I hate chapter 14 on both routes the msot. Ephraim's because of the Berserk staff users, and Eirika's because the design of the level make it take ages to collect everything. Doesn't help that both chapters have very strong bosses.
whoisthisgit I fucking hated that Swordmaster. It took me several attempts to get everything and once I finally got to him...He killed Joshua...I'm-I'm not-I'm NOT crying.
I personally hate Chapter 6, the first Fog of War chapter due to almost being timed by the Bael and Citizens if you wanted to get the Orion's Bolt.
+TheGermanBritish Guy

I don't use Seth. Despite how good he apparently is, I don't use him since I never use the Jagen character.

I wonder if there will ever be a ''Weakest characters in gaming ever'' with FE characters .
I was kinda thinking of retooling this video into a Weakest Characters video about Sophia at one point, but then I'd have to include Wendy from this same game, as she's arguably even worse. Heck, I could even include Roy, because at least Wendy and Sophia don't have to wait until very near the end of the game to get promoted. Roy is nothing but a dead-weight for the majority of his adventure.
whoisthisgit Well if we're talking bad Fire Emblem units, we could throw half of Shadow Dragons playable cast onto the list. Vyland and Boah especially.
whoisthisgit You are right its annoying to have Roy on your team, but not using him because he is already level 20 and you dont want to waste XP.
Am I the only one who found Sophia and Roy Powerful?
***** When you get Nino, she will probably have been outclassed by Erk.
So glad you covered this, especially after I mentioned it in the comments of the last episode. Though I think there's a couple of things you missed. Firstly: Hard Mode. Arcadia is a completely different beast on Hard Mode thanks to the enemy bonuses. Extra range and hit on the Sleep/Silence assholes. The dragons are tougher, more powerful, and harder to double. Silver Lance Wyvern Lords can fly at you out of nowhere and gank your squishier units in a single hit. And since you NEED mages on this map... Yeah. Plus there's way more brigands, and the boss comes with 18 AS. Good luck doubling him while you're on a timer.
And while it's not quite as big of an asshole as Arcadia, 14x is still a pain in the ass for its disappearing land trick and the boss using Bolting while you're forced to circle around him to actually get to him. With Bolting not being stupid heavy in this game, there's a fair chance he might actually double, and on Hard Mode, that's potentially two hits from a 22 magic attack you can't do shit about. You can try sending a Pegasus Knight into Bolting range to sponge hits while your crew holds back, but they'll get rushed by other units and of course, the whole disappearing land thing forces you to press on. Plus, Pegs are fast, so they won't get doubled, meaning they HAVE to take five turns of Bolting.
Also, Sophia can "predict the future", and yet didn't have the foresight to stay out of this battle. Brilliant.
I was playing the game on Hard mode for this video.
Fair point, but I think the chapter is so different on Normal and Hard that it's worth mentioning.
My Roy got super high growths and totaly kicked ass. I gave up for a while when I went through this chapter though.
What do que learned here?, Dessert levels are the water temples un FE
So im playing through Binding Blade (or Sword of Seals as my translation puts it), and im so deading this chapter.
The RNG. That....fickle mistress of ours... One moment it's on our side... Oh wait, it never was.

Absolutely sinful
Can you talk about awakening map designe, what they did right and wrong from map to map, like why most of the Valm Ark maps Suck, but others, like paralouge 8, or the 10th chapter, right after Emm's death, are really good? I would love to see you go in depth about it.
+Ento: The Chesnaut Knight Maybe one day.
+whoisthisgit Did you post an opinion on Awakening? I really dislike Awakening and Fates (sooo dissapointed) but didn't see any reviews on your channel
+nathaniel mcfadden Plus pairing up isn't nearly as broken in Fates. It makes for a much better challenge.
Some chapter that could be at this level:
Across the River (Thracia 776)
Retaking the capital (Binding Blade)
The Spear of Ice and Snow (Binding Blade)
Victory or Death (Blazing Blade)
The distant Plains (Blazing Blade)
The Phantom Ship (Sacred Stones)
etc, etc, etc...
The Armads chapters were reused in Fire Emblem Blazing Sword, right?

+Xiruslol But I really hope Lyn can wield Durandal instead of Sol Katti. Although it is heavier.
(Durandal's weight in FE6 is 12 but 16 in FE7, goddamit)
I just got to this level for the first time, and I really don't want to deal with it
~Reposting this here as I don't think you saw it before~
Hey, I'm extremely new to Strategy RPGs. So, uhh... do you recommend a game for me to try first, whoisthisgit?
As long as it isn't PS3/4 or XBOX 360/1, I could probably get it.
It's just... a genre I haven't ever gotten into. My first experience with SRPGs was Fire Emblem on the Wii when I was quite a bit younger. When my axeman died and didn't come back to life like, say, Luigi did, it kind of prevented sleep that night for me.
That was a traumatic experience at the time.
Thus, I have not played an SRPG since.
I'm looking for a beginner's SRPG. I'd rather not have permanent death, but I'll still play it if it does have permanent death.
Those are my only guidelines, and I'd figure that I'd ask you about this as you seem very experienced with the genre.
Thanks!
Try Vandal Hearts. It has no permanent death, and it's a lot easier than many other SRPGs out there.

1. OH MY GOSH ONE OF MY FAVORITE CZcamsRS JUST REPLIED TO MY COMMENT
[spaz]
2. Will do! Thanks a lot! :)
I would also suggest Fire Emblem Awakening, as you can turn off permanent death.
whoisthisgit I'm not too big on permadeath either.
D MAS I don't really mind permanent death most of the time, but I can see why others wouldn't like it.
The reason why Cecilia's stats are shit is probably because when she fought Zephidel, it would have been easier for the programmers to make her have bad stats so that he could "knock her out" without a problem for that one cutscene. Sophia has no excuse though.
Hey git, how easy or difficult would you say it is to get into Fire Emblem? It seems to be pretty complex, with all these different town and people names, all these important areas and nations to remember, lots of people, building up support and links between characters with conversations and stuff...the battle system seems pretty complex too. And to top it all of, all the names are medieval, or whatever you wanna call 'em, and I was never good with remembering those.
I just wanna know because when I was younger, I played Radiant Dawn on the Wii and I didn't know what the fuck was going on with the story. It's been 6/7 years, but I'm afraid the same thing will happen again, with me not being able to keep up with anything...
It's not too easy, it can take some time for the games to really sink their claws into you, but once you start to understand how the stats work and have more of an understanding of the plot, the characters and the world, it's amazing. Radiant Dawn is also a sequel game to Path of Radiance, so it's probably not the best game to start with.
Well, that's good to know. I guess I'll get to Sacred Stones on my 3DS now...
I heard it's the only completely self-contained Fire Emblem game, so while that disappoints me, it could also be good for getting up to the story, dealing with an isolated universe instead of an interconnected one. XP

Being Self-contained is not as bad as you may think.
At least that way you don't see characters being ruined or flanderized in sequels or prequels, or have the feeling that the story was cut in two to secure a continuation, for example.
Or just fuck up a prior game to use it's lore and story for making more money, lol.
Dark Magic is the Axe of Magic
Ya sabía que cuando acabé ese nivel hace poco, lo encontraría aqui en un video de worst level ever jajaja hasta ahora es el que peor me ha hecho pasar
12:45
Uhm...that's the north-west corner.
Also this is something kinda...ironic I noted. Both of your WLE chapters for FE have a character that starts out extremely weak and joins at that weak state mid/late game. (12 being Nino and this one being Sophia). But the actuality is that they turn out to be ridiculously strong if they're able to kill people. Sophia turned into one of my best units in my (admittedly only) playthrough of the game. That Nino-esque CON didn't help her using Apocolypse...but she blew Ray out of the water.
I can't remember if I've had an FE run where Nino was able to catch up. If anything...I'd be saving the Afa's Drops for her at that point and use them for up to 35 insane levels.
*33 insane levels
Hawkecrail Nino starts at 5 unpromoted, so 35.
33, because you only gain 19 levels to level 20 if you are at level one
The promotion bonuses count, I think.
Lord Tullus 9 *33 insane levels and the awesome promotion
but who is the guard of the forblaze is it pent
so I've never played fire emblem and know almost nothing about it so I want to know what is a fog of war chapter? (sorry for possibly sounding completely idiotic)
CrimsonNinja 593 It is a chapter where you cannot see enemy units unless they are just a few spaces away from your units.
TheAmphabulousGamer oh ok thanks
NuclearRadiation Cross thats why everything is darker thsn normal.
You gotta do stuff about Fire Emblem 4 bro. (Honeslty maybe you did and havent spotted it)
This is why I can't get into this series. I mean, I get true endings being toigh to get or for people eho replay the game, all this Guide Dang It stuff just rubs me the wrong way. How am I supposed to enjoy a playthrough when I *know* I'm screwing myself over for not constantly consulting a guide? I even play roguelikes amd fail to see the charm here, gameplay wise.
The stkry seems solid but not my cup of tea, so I'll leave that part be. And good visuals. Very good.
Have you played FE5 by now? I'm just interested.
And oh yes this chapter sucked. And I can't understand that they didn't considered to give Sophia at least a level close to promotion. And... at least a chance of doubling. She is supposed to be a halfdragon after all.
Once i found out the requirements for the 3rd divine weapon I gave up trying to get any 'good' ending
I mean it's hard but not impossible.
Ohhhh, I remember seeing this one in an Iron Man. This is the one that went relatively well until Lilina got brutally murdered. And of course it being an Iron Man she was gone forever. So yeah.
Lilina looks happy to be alive.
Getting the gaiden chapters are always a stressful endeavor but the gaiden chapters themselves are always relaxing in comparison.
FE5 is difficult, but in a fair, rewarding sense. Everything in FE5 is cool and fun... except fatigue. but FE5 is cool as because of the crusader scrolls, any unit is viable as they alter growth rates. Except archers. Archers suck no matter what. now, FE14:Conquest... it's the best out of the three, but that doesn't mean the map design is annoyingly stupid.
nnng. listening to this music -- i feel compelled to play FE7 again.
So now I can't beat Binding Blade because I missed the gaiden chapter for chapter 12?
Ok thnx
Chapter 12, I bullshit it. I really rushed through the map to get to the end and I was also trying to recruit Cath but, I realized, my only mage was a weak Lillina and Roy had my Wyrmslayer so I had to carry him back. I messed up but, I had a save on the virtualboyadvance to restart the process easily.
He onetapped Rutger?! Damn.
I know I'm getting tedious now, but I just had a thought, It's likely that they may just remove the gaiden chapter's and make them mandatory chapter's if they feel like it, but then the remake of Mystery of the Fire Emblem Book 2 still had the whole collect all the gemstones for the fire emblem before fighting Hardin or you no get the final few chapter's so maybe. who knows, I'd go with the first option of just removing the bad ending and making the weapon collecting chapter's mandatory even though I'd love just having the option to get them anytime I wish if I unlock the requirements and the requirements being abit more forgiving to tell you the truth
Try out SMT Strange Journey. I'm sure you will find THOSE LEVELS (Sectors)
i restarted a new save twice because of this damn chapter
Raspberry sponge lol. So I should start playing these games then? All lord knows how many of them. I might just do that. ;)
I dare ya to take on this chapter with a team of Barth, Marcus, and
hmm i had wyrmslayer in this chapter with over 10 more uses left so my swordmaster killed the northwest wyverns and the manakete in two turns while i led my lilina southeast
but yeah i also used milady to deal with mercenaries and such, however with a slim lance to double hit them because she had enough str to kill them within a single battle using slim lance in my game
got quite lucky with defense too, none of them could do any damage to her
dude im impressed with that tutorial
