I found stefan on my first try without help, because i had both mordecai and lethe roaming around to get hidden treasures.

For 3Hs I would put down Ferdinand as the hardest to meet the requirement for. Already requiring Heavy Armor is a difficult proficiency to level up for Byleth naturally especially considering the direction the game tries to lead you to level up Byleth as. Further, Ferdinand is one of those characters where his B support is locked behind part 2 so you can’t even cheese recruit him by reaching B+, the rank where a character can randomly ask you if they can join your house and thus nulling any proficiency/stat requirement for recruitment. He requires the most resources to get.

im so brainwashed by the media that I thought you meant hardest as in the most stylish/coolish recruitment

In the event of a season 2 hortensia and her gaggle of goons dont move until freeze. excel knows that but he probably entered her attack range prior to her freezing so she just attacked instead. Even if you're in her hypothetical range she would have it doesn't matter she will freeze first

the choices for three houses are a little iffy imo😭 aside from sylvain and the church staff felix and dorothea are honestly the easiest students to recruit. byleth has both boons in sword/authority and high speed/charm growths you could eat shit until mid game and still recruit both of them by mid game. lysitheas requirements for recruiting her are still pretty demanding but its nowhere near as bad as ferdinands. learning faith and building mag isnt a complete waste as byleth has a budding talent for faith, and their prf class can use magic + act as an emergency healer

Missed this stream, glad to see Chloe and Lapis alive. Watching now, good stream.

in fe7 its not Karla, its Geitz. your lords have to be at level 17. Or you get lyn and hector to level 20 and Eliwood at level 10

"he said no pickles" ass run

I want to use this to say this. First of all, well done, this video is an excellent analysis of the lore behind every boss, you left no stone unturned and you even coved the paralogs and DLC, though admittedly, I wished you mentioned hiers of fate during Anankos's section. But that's my only complaint. Well done. After watching this video, replaying Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation, and thinking about how I would improve the story (though do keep in mind that I am not a professional writer and I do genuinely enjoy all 3 paths, so don't take this as me bashing the game because I really do genuinely love it), it has all got me believing this. I think the issue with Fates writing in my opinion is that it feels for a lack of a better word, first drafty, like it feels like they wrote the very first draft for each path and put in what they had in mind but they didn't polished said draft. In addition, according to a video detailing the behind the scenes, thr original story draft was several watered down. Which definitely feels like it in the final story. Despite all of that, I still genuinely love this game so much. It's my 3rd favorite game in the series behind Sacred stones in 2nd and three houses in 1st. I know it's extremely unlikely to happen, if Fates gets a remaster, remake, or a Xenoblade chronicles style definitive edition, I hope they can really take the story to it's full potential. Apologies for the rambling, great video, you deserve so much more subs.

Never forget Scarlet in Reveletion that has the same bullshit thing like kaze but this time you can't avoid it. So you can have she only for one battle... Just let her be a green unit for that battle and then start the cutscene and let her die...

Thinking about it, RD might have benefited of an arena.😊

I kinda disagree on L' Arachel,the hardest is Rennac. if you didn't manage to recruit L'Arachel or get enough gold by the time the chapter rolls in where you get to recruit him,then he's basically unrecruitable.

Is there any games for Nintendo switch that looks and plays like fire emblem on gba or snes ?

For 3 houses I'm going with Hilda on Church Route, because if you play black eagles you cannot recruit her UNLESS you do the split thing for Church and then you only have the small gap between that event and the end of the first half to ACTUALY recruit her, but since she's been locked out the ENTIRE TIME you either need to already be set to recruit her or on NG+ because you can't raise her support with Byleth fast enough. Plus you need to realize he BECOMES recruitable - since to this point she hasn't been.

Just imagine when the times when each fire emblem came out and people start their first playthrought, not knowing how to recruit and skiping like half the characters, and like you said in the video with out guides at least in the first 5 fire emblems the games has to be really hard, and thats the magic of the classics games, now with just one search to get to know everythings and thats cools too, for me since im playing fe binding blade with guides im just pumped to start again and beat the game faster having all this knowleadge but the magic of the first blind playthroughs are amazing

I think that in this map if BK is equipped with Alondite (or possibly any 2 range sword) then he will attack at 1 range when possible. I imagine they programmed this to happen incase you got a bad Ike. Though I think it's only with swords/Alondite since that's what he's supposed to be equipped with, I once messed around with a save file and he ended up with a Wishblade and attacked at 2 range with that.

Lol for FE3H, lysithea and felix is pretty easy, byleth has natural affinity with swords and budding talent in faith, his speed and magic growth is also above aberage imo. The hardest to recruit in FE3H would be units that wants heavy armor ranks lol cause i dont like heavy armor classes on byleth. While I do like Mercedes a lot (personal bias), her recruitment kinda stupid. It needs Bow and Faith rank, which I get she has budding talent in bow but that starting and growth strength are atrocious. To add salt to the insult, no classes that has bow+faith proficiency.

"Really? Aw man."

15 seasons of deaths..... this is going to be a bloodbath

Im sorry, but if most difficult list of recruitment doesnr include ferdinand three houses its just wrong. You mention specificly playthroughs where you arent focusing on recruiting. But even without that restriction, is easily ferdinand. Not only are his B and above supports locked behing time skip, he also eants heavy armor. A skill line that can only be trained on byleth via spedning time points in the monastery, and that unlocks relatively useless class of armor knights. There is literaly no reason to ever train heavy armor on byleth

While Bartra and Carla may look like a random easter egg recruitment, you gotta give it points for being able to see Fir's parents meet especially after seeing the end screen for Bartra always being "falling in love with a warrior he rivals" or smth like that

This vid is a certified dawn brigade moment

I disagree on FE13, I think Laurent is the hardest unit if you don't know what you're doing. He's not hard to get if you know what to do but I'd argue he can be missed if you are not aware of the village you have to interact with. To be honest, when I did this chapter, I actually thought you'd find the village upon completing the quest. I didn't even know until my 2nd playthrough that this chapter was a child-unit chapter as when I recruited Lucina I already had a load of S Ranks which naturally unlocked a load of Child Unit Chapters. Severa really isn't hard to work out, just have 1 or 2 units with the rescue staff to keep her out of harms way and from there just have your crew kill every last 1 of them.

Impressive run

Nice

I'd think Athena is among the hardest unit in FE11 (Shadow Dragon), because she's one of the "you lost a bunch of units" filler units. Also, for FE16 (Three Houses), Hilda in Black Eagles (Silver Snow Route) is probably the hardest unit to recruit. If you go Lions, she is normal recruit with Charm and Axes being her stat and skill; if you go Deer, she's in your house, and if you go Eagles, she's unrecruitable... unless you set up to go the fourth route (Silver Snow) by not siding with Edelgard, where you can spend the one in-game month (4 possible trips to the monastery at most) trying to woo her just like Lions route, before the attack on the monastery that happens in all routes that divides the base and war phases of the game.

That's a smooth part 3

Anna could be a bit of a pain in Engage to recruit. Basically you need to reach her in I think 3 turns or she dies. Not to hard but kind of annoying. Though 3 houses for me, recruiting everyone wasn't really a problem. Though I grinded like crazy to get everything high enough along with their support levels.

8:39 I wanna give a hug man... that right there was plain evil...

didn't know dragon has a chance to have 40 atk. thought it capped at 39 just so that it can't ohko athos

Poor Fae

Fae death immediately is tragic

I love this "Red, Blue, Green Unit" business. It's like "Haha, I am going to kill you wearing these red pants." (his ex-girlfriend wearing blue pants runs up to him, begging him to switch sides) "Yes, I have seen the error of my ways; I will now change into blue pants!"

I won't even attempt these without save states from emu's.

The hardest is always the "HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT?" requirements. This is not exclusive to FE either. Some games are so unforgiving about it as well. Did you do the opinional time limied 8 side conversations that you have to find hidden across the overworld? Too bad you did them in the wrong order so you didn't unlock the 9th hidden conversation that was hidden behind the first 8. Did you do them all in order this time? Too bad all option choices matter even when the conversation was just small talk so when you selected "I love oranges" instead of "I hate oranges" you can no longer unlock the hidden character because you bonded over your shared hatred of oranges.

since it has been established that the Kaze entry was a Joke Imma chain it with one of my own: I would not say Kaze is the hardest for birthright but his kid Midori, since you can only do the paralogue in question after Kaze survives the cutscene even if he's married already, getting Kaze is easy, getting his daughter that's the hard part. (bonus cheese points if he's married to Corrin) on a slightly more serious note, I'd say Shinon is more complicated to recruit in FE9, You need to talk to him with Rolf, which implies you either trained him or are escorting a very weak unit and then you must beat Shinon WITH IKE to then have the recruitment thing play at the end of the chapter. (at least success or failure you get the brave bow) and the only Hint in game I've seen about any of this is if Mist talks to Shinon which is even less likely to think about on your own and then no hints whatsoever about Ike having to be the one kicking his ass.

I'd say Ferdinand needing 'Heavy Armor' requirement sucks, most Byleths won't bother

In fates there’s a recruit involving the ninja village where you have to have a green unit ninja kill the leader dude, I think, I can’t remember his name, on a specific route through the game (I think it’s conquest?) Although this might just be a rumor or me misremembering, but this would definitely be the hardest recruit of those games if it is true

lysithea could be hard to recruit but defenitily worth getting her specially to dab on the death knight

Damn! I killed Lindon and I had no idea you can recruit him!

I am not sure what Nintendo was thinking with Karla(4:44). We need a specific unit be given a valuable promotion crest and appropriately leveled to recruit her. No hints given to the player about her or about Batre needing to fight her. When you talk to her, combat is automatically initiated. Let's hope your Batre has been getting lucky with defense or speed. There is a strong chance you are gonna get crit(5:03) possibly twice if you are slow. There is a strong chance Batre will die. On the other hand, Batre can gain to much strength and kill Karla with the Swordreaver. Alternatively, Batre can be equipped with a Killer Axe which is not hard to get at this point in the game. There is a chance Batre lands a hits and crits Karla.

yes

Suffering from success is a tale as old as time.

We need more games like echoes! Moar killer bow energy would also help.

On the other hand.... The easiest one in Three Houses is Silvain, which all you have to do is play as a girl, and he joins you because he is a simp.

Fair on Karel for FE6. Game has a lot of difficult or tricky recruitments, though: everything about Douglas, Thea's annoyingly finnicky AI, characters like Echidna and the second pair of cavaliers being able to die before being recruited, Rutger being able to just murder one of your units out of the blue (and Fir, to a lesser extent)...

I agree with every point. ....Except for the "Karla is a bad unit" bullshit.

Retrying this for the fourth time despite invested 40 hours deserves my honour. Ngl, if this had happened to me, I would have already thrown my Wiimote away. I can be happy that I could do this run in my first and only attempt. Still I think the biggest problem of this run are the (low) crit hits by the enemy. Especially in an iron man run of an enemy phased game this situation should be prevented. Same goes the other way around in case of Edward who died due to killing (unexpectedly) in enemy phase, so he got another combat. It might sound smart-alecky, but for gambling (unless in a desperate situation of a player phase) or taking low fatal crit chance hits usually kills an iron man run. I have already seen this in other FE10 streams. I'd recommed to make supports between Nolan, Volug, Jill and Zihark since these are the best front units later on due to their affinity. It will definitely help in part 3. Heather's recruitment is definitely troublesome considering this is the worst map of the entire game. Usually try to rush through the center with Brom (killing one of the knights) to catch her in time. Nephenee can try to visit the villages. The reinforcement bandits won't destroy the village when someone's in their attack range. Your Jill training went really well so far, gj. And Leonardo's stats are far above average. Though, he will perform better with Lughnsadh since this weapon gives +5 speed and also has more might and less weight than the Brave Bow. If he doesn't get counterattacked, this is definitely the better weapon choice for him.

Just saw the crit. Man that must hurt. Also doesn't this mean a crit machine Ilyana would be good?
