I think pvp would be amazing in fire emblem, especially the newer games where casual mode existing now so training Characters would be less risky, I think what they have in engage is good if u want to max some Characters for defense maps, tempest trial, and whatever that mode where u go on one of 5 maps and fight with 5 Characters against an AI of opponent, I think it would be a good skill check for players, but the problems are that hacking in those games isn't that hard, and especially on older switches would be even easier..........also u could tell that they didn't have stuff like pvp in mind, when making this game, cause if u get alcryst stats to max, give him Lyn and extra dexterity, then everyone uses them (in defense maps EVERYONE uses him like that) because no matter what character it is, even armored knights, they just die, and since it's so far, the opponent LITERALLY CAN do anything about it, unless they do THE EXACT SAME THING WITH ALCRYST AND LYN..........I think I am speaking for most people, that we want pvp in fire emblem, because nothing more dun then hanging out with a freind and having a little freindly competition, that's just Most games, thats why shooters and mobas are so popular, cause they have pvp.........if they made fire emblem, better against people who cheat online, and they make pvp BALANCED (and by thst I mean have a bigger map, thst u can strategize on and not have something like lyns engage attack) and I can see fire emblem isn't the best game for pvp, but dosent mean IT CANT BE FUN
@@waddledottz he was just always a good fire emblem player.....he someone how always finds a way to beat thing regardless of the odds, he has been playing FW hero's, (the gaccha game) been doing competive as f2p and still is at the top..........he also in general a nice person
5:10 There is actually a way to get both Tiki and Nagi without hacking or cheat devices in FE11, on chapter 24 give Tiki the real Falchion and have her die, the game thinks you've lost both Falchion and Tiki so you will go to 24x, where you will get Nagi, the other Falchion and a second Divinestone, and in that map or in endgame, use the Aum staff to revive Tiki and you will have two divine dragons and two falchions and two divinestones without use of external cheats
I had a friend in highschool who I liked to play Fates PVP with and we both had a decent amount of knowledge of hacking the game. One of the funnier setups we would do we called "No Restrictions, Lore battle." The gentleman's agreement we had was basically we each could choose one of the major NPC characters of the 3 factions (Garon Iago or Hans for Nohr, Sumeragi or Mikoto for Hoshido and Anankos or Arete for V*lla) and then we had to build a team of hacked capture units to simulate that side's army. We didn't have to ban many skills just because most of the enemy exclusive broken skills were not allowed in PVP to begin with. Also, since Capture units didn't benefit as much from statues, it forced us to be creative with their skillsets in order to get a leg up. Some of the more fun setups we had were Iago with multiple nearby ally buff skills and a really stupid Vantage build on Garon with Bolverk. It was fun, but I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to encounter someone online without knowing about it ahead of time.
It adds another layer of difficulty, knowing you have to capture a certain NPC unit because of their skills can be really tough to do. especially since they're always surrounded by lesser enemies.
The Fates one hit me hard. I remember watching all of those PM1 PVP videos and ran into some of these cheaters myself. I remember there was a really popular hacked female Corrin named Mario and it was a purple-haired Wolfssegner.
I definitely remember Mario only because I actually beat someone who was using Mario on their team and I of course had no access to hacking or hacked units at that time. The battle took hours to do however.
Holy shit I remember Mario back from when I was still pretty young playing thru fates. Got to pvp them one time and they just completely left the game after I killed their mc.
Engage Id argue has a huge amount of freedom with hacking/cheating. Because its made in unity, its so incredibly easy to modify compared to other FE games, I’ve even done it myself because its done with very human readable code. And thus modding in Engage has taken off at light speed compared to other FE games. For example it took only like two months to get a reverse recruitment and randomizer patch when that stuff took ages in other games.
I'm very surprised something like the mine glitch managed to slip up. Like, soft resetting in games is kinda inevitable so you would think they would've added more failsafes against unintentional enemy manipulation. Also man I am glad I was never into Fates pvp because the cheating seen there is honestly out of this world.
If we want to get technical, Tiki and Nagi aren't mutually exclusive in Shadow Dragon. Sure, Tiki has to die and you not having the Falchion are what trigger getting Nagi. But if you have Tiki hold on the real Falchion, have her killed, get the Aum staff, then get Nagi, you can use the Aum staff to revive Tiki along with Nagi as well as the real Falchion.
This gives me an excuse to bring up Fates PVP Queues took forever but Fates online back in 2019 was so good, if you queued at the same time of day you would find the same players pretty frequently. Felt like playing with my friends (who I didn't have) and constantly improving against each other. Never even knew there was a hacking problem outside of my castle stuff, where the top 3 castles were all clearly hacked. Can't even imagine going back to fates without the online, genuinely had so much fun with it.
I actually ran into the Viskam on a Blue Lions run and I did use it, the ultimate magic sword Felix, lol. Interesting to see the code and placement behind it!
It took me so long to realize how many skills I got for my units in Fates were hacked. I only found out recently since I finally decided to play all paths and get more into the data of the game
I JUST started my Maddening run of Three Houses with the intent to break the game as much as possible with Month Looping, Renown underflow, and Viskams. I feel called out
One time I visited someone's castle and got aptitude for Rinkah (I think it was her). I didn't know at the time it was impossible, and when I found out, I thought it was funny
Sacred Stones was the only game i cheated in, because it allowed any unit to equip monster weapons, which raises the dark magic rank. It was cool to have Eirika use dark magic. It also let Tethys defend herself during enemy phase because I'm bad at fire emblem.
I remember going into Fates PVP My Castle Battle for the very first time and someone had an all level 99 team only a few days after the game came out. I turned the game off.
On my release playthrough of Crimson Flower, I had one Viskam. A powerful resource that could grant any shitty unleveled character the might of the gods. Then last year I did a replay of Crimson Flower. I now have 4 Viskams which made the game a lightning casting meme fest XD By far the most fun cheating I’ve had since the old Action Replay days on DS XD
my fav cheat is in Fire emblem 1, if you give a manakete a class changing item it will rocket up their def by +15 and it won't use up the item. with it you can also push their def past the cap of 20 def, so you can make bantu and tiki walls for physical damage.
The funny thing about Fire Emblem Fates cheating is that most of the people that hack normally unobtainable skills and whatnot onto their team set their units on passive, effectively giving you a free win as you can just run over and seize their castle with basically no fight. So no horror stories there, if anything, it's quite fun putting skills on units that'd normally never be able to obtain them. You could also bring the hacked units over into your game through einherjar shenanigans, but I never did that as despite my blatant cheating through "My Castle," I didn't want to cheat the game THAT badly. Definitely my favorite oversight though. "Lets add a PvP, base invasion feature in FE Fates! And lets give them the reward of inheriting any of the skills equipped on the same character! Surely they won't exploit that, right? ...right?"
i would like to mention that despite the viskam (equippable variant) not being effected by sword breaker, the viskam tile will show the disadvantage icon next to them when selecting a unit with sword breaker
I'm a bit surprised the Infinite Month Glitch in Three Houses wasn't included in this video, tbh. Looping the same month over and over and over again to farm EXP, gardening rewards, etc feels like it'd have absolutely fit the tone of this video.
I sorta want to say that you can sorta cheat in fe5. There's an Arena in Chapter 9 where you can grind gold which doesn't sound so bad until you realize there's a shop that sells S drinks. So some players with alot of patience grind S drinks just so they can ignore half the game's mechanics
you also have a mean to get elite on all your units by a manipulation at the beggining of the game, making your units bustes faster and the game less hard. Also thracia has the most busted staff ever created anyway, you can skip trough any difficulty with it, you can warp others, yourself, sleep ennemy, berserk, even steal their weapon.
Yeah, I would say “sort of” is accurate. The reason being is that you can die in the arena. Now of course, you can bypass the risk with save states. But back in the day without save states, entering the arena was a real risk.
One i really like is the month loop glitch you can do un 3H by skipping beyond the final day in some months, allowing you to grind gold, exp and raise your weapon ranks to absurd levels really early
@@johnathanedwards9054 That could just be a problem with your Switch. I've played the game for over 2,000 hours and never once got an error message, and I've abused the hell out of the Calendar and Renown Overflow glitches.
The only cheating I was actively aware of before watching this were the mine glitches and the Fates pvp craziness. A lot of the stuff covered was new for me to learn about.
this is pretty amazing, alot of these are awesome and i never knew about, the viskam i thought was just a random sword so i wondered why it was so op after i got it from another players liason :P
So I actually did hack Shadow Dragon to get everything with 99 uses so I would max out everyone's stats, weapon ranks, and give them all insane weapons only to completely crush the higher difficulties. It wasn't until I lent my copy of Shadow Dragon to my fiancée that she yelled at me for it so I played the game again legitimately on Hard 3, but stopped at the final chapter because I hate it.
I played Fates PVP a fair amount, and I once happened across a max stat Ryoma with Warp, the Witch exclusive skill. I had my Selkie, who had every single breaker skill completely legitimately, and I wound up making the other person rage quit, because neither of us could hit each other.
@AkameGaKillfan777 That's true, to obtain it, you must first play the DLC map that gives you the witch's mark item, from there, if you can get the map to go on for enough turns, you can eventually get an enemy witch to spawn that has the warp scroll in her inventory. After you obtain it, you can use it on any character that is level 15 or higher in a promoted class, or 35 or higher if it's a special class (if memory serves)
@WatchWirtual You could either use the method mentioned in the video (assuming the Ryoma you faced in question had those kind of insane stats), or it's also entirely possible to grind him up to his max stats provided you have enough eternal seals (which can increase the level cap of a unit by 5 each time you use one) and possibly a large enough supply of stat boosting items, with spirit dust being the only one you'd probably need to use to not have to grind your brains out. Either way, it's possible to get just about any unit to their maximum stats if you have enough time and patience, I myself have done so without hacking the game
When I first encountered viskam in three houses, I said to myself there’s no way this is intentional. It was fun to use for a bit, but it’s not necessary on normal or even hard mode. Maddening mode, however is a different story.
I accidently got Viskam in one of my 4 playthroughs of FE-3H. I thought it was a rare weapon gimmick weapon like they had in Fates, as it was cheap, I didn't use it. It wasn't until I got near the end of my last playthrough that i saw on video on it that I saw vids about it.
I remember well the Fates hacking shenanigans, back when I was used to play it with online functions one time I spotted a hacked castle that had a Nohrian Princess Sakura and more stuff, in the end I do that kind of stuff but kept it to myself to not harm other people experience, as I know very clear how bad that is, not to mention that on 3DS it was just as easy as to have a memory with hacked stuff without online and the other memory for the legit stuff for example, wished that the game had some sort of cheaters servers or something like that, the 3DS scene really killed Fates online features. Edit: Heck, even during it's 1st days I was called to be cheating when one player saw my Corrin use Aether during the days prior to the Vanguard class DLC being a thing but said player forgot to check that my Corrin had Nohrian Trust and was paired with a Sakura who had the skill (due to have leveled up enough as Great Lord, a DLC class that could be used since day 1), that way my Corrin borrowed the skill from Sakura with Nohrian Trust during a battle, making it a legit way to use the skill prior to said DLC.
Ah yes the 3Ds skill shop days. I remember spending hours in my optimized revelation run where I made sure every character had aptitude and other class locked skills. Combine that with einherjar stat boosting and the game became the ultimate sandbox
This genuinely sounds like the least fun way to play. Why even bother with the game? Like honestly. Its a guarantee you'll stomp every challenge the game throws at you with little to no thought. Isn't the point of a strategy rpg to employ... strategy?
Shadow Dragon pvp was pretty borked even without the hackers. So many teams were running 4 pallies and a sage, capped brave weaps and the 3-10 siege tome for chip. It was rage inducing when I found the guys who would take endless turns and just kill each of my units, though. Literally sitting there for a few minutes as my units were wiped out 1 by 1 and I couldn't interact with the game at all.
As someone who found a lot aspects of my current life through connections from ROM hacking... I'm all for hacking or breaking the game and trivializing the single player experience as much as you want. Want to kill everything with Marcus with perfect growths or stats with the uber spear? Have fun bro. The *second* another player's experience enters the mix, that's where I start condemning people. You don't screw with other people's experiences without their consent. If you wanted a hacker versus hacker private room, that's perfectly acceptable. You do it to randos who don't want your BS? You can leave.
I used to play a lot of Fates PVP and knew about save editing, a lot of players, me included, would just use it to +7 forge weapons without needing to grind for hours on end as well as having max movement on all 5 units which rarely made a difference anyway due to warp and rescue strats. After a while I started bringing Mikoto on my teams just for fun and her stats were normalized so my teams could be beaten by legit players. I also used save editing to get every playable unit on one save with all purchasable skills and made an easy seize castle for people to get any unit build they wanted. Having both Kana genders helped out quite a few people.
I always wanted to know where the hacked weapon in three houses came from. On my first run I had a few and thought wow this was way to easy not knowing until a playthrough later that the weapon was hacked and not meant to be obtainable.
I recently been playing through fates, and I've been maxing out my characters with hacked skills from other castles🤣 I didn't realize until I saw sibling characters with Corrin's skills and vise versa
Yeah, that's not intended, or certain units on restricted classes like in my case how I spotted a Nohrian Princess Sakura for example (Nohrian Princess is Corrin offspings and Corrin him/herself only class).
I really need to try the engage aether raids thing. I so stoked about it when the game came out but after finishing my maddening run I haven't bothered!😂
Oh yes I LOVED ds era pvp! I faced so many max stat hackers and beat so many of them because I just had a better team (saved every stat booster until finishing the game) and actually knew how to play outside of just facerolling with capped stats. I still lost my fair share of games to people with more advanced cheats or who got the attacker's advantage through fog of war, but I was able to put up enough of a fight that I won enough to fill my pvp card collection. Fates PvP just never did it for me. The vastly higher stat caps and skill builds just required too much grinding to legitimately obtain, and I didn't enjoy the game enough, so I never bothered.
Something I really like to do in Fates is find a few castles with 99 stat caps then recruit some of those busted characters as einherjar and then speedrun conquest lunatic on autobattle
I remember seeing the Viskam during my Blue Lions run. I still have the screenshot of that appearing and it was honestly really fun. I gave it to my Constance and she sniped everything
Great video man! I remember booting up shadow dragon’s multiplayer mode as a kid. A 32 movement Draug pulled up on me turn 1, and I just turning off the game.
On the Topic of Fates and Hackers, i forget how many exactly i saw, but there were a LOT of My Castles with all of the Gathering Spots for Food, when the average player on Revelations got like 4 total i think. It's the most insignificant thing, but it was a fairly easy way for me to tell back when i played that game.
_Erm AKCHYUALLY the Hauteclere isn't an Archanean Regalia, the third one is Gradivus ess em aytch_ Nerd emoji over a supremely minor script nitpick aside, great vid! Especially fun to see that Camilla get wrecked, must've been humiliating for the hacker to make a team that's stronger than the game allows and still lose
I only came across the Viskam in my final playthrough if three houses. Had no idea what I was looking at, and after a quick google search, Figured I’d have some fun for my last playthrough 😂
I also remember running into My Castles where the other units would all have Dragon Fang and Aptitude. While I never did any hacking myself, I did totally pay to have the skills learned by my units.
I myself experienced some of the Fates PvP hacking. I was kinda into the PvP but after encountering someone with 5 Corrins named after The Black Fang with multiple of the Royals weapons providing them bonuses, I stopped playing. Another thing I myself did, which isn't breaking the game or anything but might morally fall under this, is through spotpass with Awakening, and 2 3ds's. You can have a spotpass team of statboosters able to be purchased infinitely on the same save file. Just by popping the game into each system, buying the items, saving and making sure that spotpass sends to the other 3ds o you can repeat. Just a neat thing I found out towards the end of my 300+ hour save of Awakening where I utilized that to finish maxing out everyone's stats (like Frederick's magic stat), as otherwise I spent hours grinding and reclassing everyone to have the rng have them hit caps.
I used Viskam once, on my run thats only purpose was to get Renewal on Raphael for my next playthrough, it made my life easier considering i was trying to finish the run quickly so i could start the ACTUAL run
I have one more: in one of the paralogues in engage, I got jumpscared by flier reinforcements and I moved my units backwards out of their range. Everyone knows that moving units even 1 tile away from a boss is a cardinal sin that is unforgivable.
as someone who defeated a hackers my castle and "beaten" 2 hackers in the pvp (they dc before the fight ended). this led to me having access to even better and better odds leading to me making a 90% regen every turn (i did not have this equiped i just got it for the lols after beating a hacker. my skills i have is hoshido unity quintoxic astra aether duplicate (i think that is what it is called) galeforce
I recall from my first Blue Lions playthrough, I ended up with 6 viskams by the final chapter. I already had 3 by the time of Dedue's paralogue, so the campaign became trivially easy. I did given one of them to an RNG blessed Annette, and everything died.
God i always feel so dirty using the Viskam...but also damn is that snipe effective for giving your lacking allies level ups from safety, best 1G i ever spent
Technically an oversight over an exploit, but you can make infinite money and renown by selling seeds at the renown shop and buying a certain weapon in the renown shop to sell at the regular shops
I had a DS and Shadow Dragon before Awakening even released, but I guess I was still too late because I don't remember ever being able to play the PvP, I guess everyone had already moved on.
I remember soending so long on my second playthrough of FE7 getting the mine glitch to work and be able to chain the Uber Spear to merlinus so i could steal it and then i ended up mever actually using it. I did kill Vaida cause i didnt know she was recruitable. I also bought an ultimately unused Viskam in 3H as well
I never hacked anything, but thinking about it I'm pretty sure I partook in the skill inheritance stuff you could do in my castle battles. Very fun and I just thought that was a feature lol
I just found out in the Japan nso that fe2 and fe5 are missing while fe4 is present, fe6 also present. Does that mean there is a higher chance the next remake could be fe5 instead of fe4?
Now I’m reminded of Fate’s PvP cheaters. I love the idea of PvP like this (and it’s one reason why i’m making a FE inspired tabletop war game). Problem is when I’d try to play Online PvP I went up against units that were obviously too strong because of hacking. With the Aptitude stuff I think I only got it on units that I knew could legitimately get it. Didn’t actually know about the 3H one or the Engage one
I remember my brother and I doing this for fe11 but it was just to face each other not anyone else. Another fun one was giving tiki or bantu a mage stone so the magic users couldn't kill them. Good times.
I remember having seen Viskam in my Golden Deer playthrough and it's a weird oddity being sold. I never bothered with it since I thought it was probably a glitch in the game.
I played fates pvp around the time it came out and it was rough, it took 5 to 10 minutes just to find a match and your opponent would either run away/forfeit or steamroll you with their hacked team
To this day I have never done the pirate pier map legitimately thanks to the mine glitch. Also, it is really funny to use the same glitch in FE8 to get monster spells on Tethys. Even if it can crash the game lol
Just before the Pandemic hit the U.S. in 2020, I bought a 3DS Powersaves device that let me cheat through different games to varying degrees. It only did minimal stuff in certain ones, like Mario & Luigi: Dream Team maxing out coins and beans in your inventory, and Ocarina of Time 3D where the only meaningful thing I could do was give Link 10 Bombchus on new save files. The Fire Emblem games had some wacky stuff though, like getting endless items, enemy only classes, weapons and skills, as well as maximum gold, forging materials, ingredients and Dragon Vein Points on Fates specifically. I can even get multiple DLC Classes and Skills that aren't allowed as much or unavailable in the U.S. version(Fuck you Treehouse, I hope you never work in this industry again.)
Honestly, I'd be happy by just getting all legendary weapons available, no enemy weapons or skills, just that There were dlc classes that didn't make it to the US? Which ones?
I thought you were gonna make the last point about save scumming and the debate about whether you are truly playing fire emblem if you reset every time one of your units die.

You guys were basically playing Fire Emblem Maker and it sounds amazing
You need Golden Statues to raise the stat caps on Captured units
W hacker, only playing with another hacker
This actually sounds fun
I really enjoyed the My Castle mode.
I made a team of full captured hoshidan units on my conquest castle.
It adds another layer of difficulty, knowing you have to capture a certain NPC unit because of their skills can be really tough to do.

The Fates one hit me hard. I remember watching all of those PM1 PVP videos and ran into some of these cheaters myself. I remember there was a really popular hacked female Corrin named Mario and it was a purple-haired Wolfssegner.
Mario is famous
I definitely remember Mario only because I actually beat someone who was using Mario on their team and I of course had no access to hacking or hacked units at that time. The battle took hours to do however.
I actually recruited Mario and used her to beat conquest lunatic.
Holy shit I remember Mario back from when I was still pretty young playing thru fates. Got to pvp them one time and they just completely left the game after I killed their mc.
Mario goes hard
I mean.... If cheating will impress Claude...
I approve of something Claude would like. Enough said 😅

Sure, Tiki has to die and you not having the Falchion are what trigger getting Nagi.
But if you have Tiki hold on the real Falchion, have her killed, get the Aum staff, then get Nagi, you can use the Aum staff to revive Tiki along with Nagi as well as the real Falchion.
This gives me an excuse to bring up Fates PVP

Well, I guess most people have moved on from Fates in 2019 so you didn't encounter much hackers anymore

good luck soldier
I proudly did the same thing. Fuck maddening mode. If a game does bs to you, you do bs to it right back.

The PM1 clip killing Camila is so good, it looked so helpless
Flashback how Ike win CYL VG vs Camilla in 2017
One time I visited someone's castle and got aptitude for Rinkah (I think it was her). I didn't know at the time it was impossible, and when I found out, I thought it was funny
That's the sort of thing you see and don't realize that is wrong until 3 days later
Sacred Stones was the only game i cheated in, because it allowed any unit to equip monster weapons, which raises the dark magic rank. It was cool to have Eirika use dark magic. It also let Tethys defend herself during enemy phase because I'm bad at fire emblem.
I remember going into Fates PVP My Castle Battle for the very first time and someone had an all level 99 team only a few days after the game came out.
I turned the game off.
Probably didn't lose much
Love your videos!
On my release playthrough of Crimson Flower, I had one Viskam. A powerful resource that could grant any shitty unleveled character the might of the gods. Then last year I did a replay of Crimson Flower. I now have 4 Viskams which made the game a lightning casting meme fest XD
By far the most fun cheating I’ve had since the old Action Replay days on DS XD
my fav cheat is in Fire emblem 1, if you give a manakete a class changing item it will rocket up their def by +15 and it won't use up the item. with it you can also push their def past the cap of 20 def, so you can make bantu and tiki walls for physical damage.
The funny thing about Fire Emblem Fates cheating is that most of the people that hack normally unobtainable skills and whatnot onto their team set their units on passive, effectively giving you a free win as you can just run over and seize their castle with basically no fight. So no horror stories there, if anything, it's quite fun putting skills on units that'd normally never be able to obtain them. You could also bring the hacked units over into your game through einherjar shenanigans, but I never did that as despite my blatant cheating through "My Castle," I didn't want to cheat the game THAT badly.
Definitely my favorite oversight though. "Lets add a PvP, base invasion feature in FE Fates! And lets give them the reward of inheriting any of the skills equipped on the same character! Surely they won't exploit that, right? ...right?"
I was one of those people that let people seize my castle to get hacked skills. Cuz why not share the love?
@@yohane...shoukan2416 Based, thanks for being a chad lmao
i would like to mention that despite the viskam (equippable variant) not being effected by sword breaker, the viskam tile will show the disadvantage icon next to them when selecting a unit with sword breaker
Great video! I didn’t know about these cheats. I liked that there’s a artwork image of Claude on the thumbnail!;)
I'm a bit surprised the Infinite Month Glitch in Three Houses wasn't included in this video, tbh. Looping the same month over and over and over again to farm EXP, gardening rewards, etc feels like it'd have absolutely fit the tone of this video.
Occasionally, I shudder from the thought, the image, and the glory of hacked Fuga... 😳
I sorta want to say that you can sorta cheat in fe5. There's an Arena in Chapter 9 where you can grind gold which doesn't sound so bad until you realize there's a shop that sells S drinks. So some players with alot of patience grind S drinks just so they can ignore half the game's mechanics
you also have a mean to get elite on all your units by a manipulation at the beggining of the game, making your units bustes faster and the game less hard. Also thracia has the most busted staff ever created anyway, you can skip trough any difficulty with it,
you can warp others, yourself, sleep ennemy, berserk, even steal their weapon.
@@zilgred3056And in exchange for all those amazing staffs, Heals can miss
Yeah, I would say “sort of” is accurate. The reason being is that you can die in the arena. Now of course, you can bypass the risk with save states.
But back in the day without save states, entering the arena was a real risk.
If its in the game then its not cheating.
But if they didn't intend to give you 99 S drinks, blame the player
The Mine Glitch is hilarious, saved it for the final battle with the Morphs and waited for all the doors to open to really cheese the ending lol
One i really like is the month loop glitch you can do un 3H by skipping beyond the final day in some months, allowing you to grind gold, exp and raise your weapon ranks to absurd levels really early
I wasn't around when PvP stuff happened. I've learned so much today, thank you for a great video=3
Honorable mention to the rescue staff glitch in Genealogy that grants infinite movement.
Three Houses has so many glitches it's a wonder more of them aren't exploitable
I was watching my brother play it and he would find so many glitches that he often got hit with the Nintendo Switch error message a few times.
@@johnathanedwards9054 That could just be a problem with your Switch. I've played the game for over 2,000 hours and never once got an error message, and I've abused the hell out of the Calendar and Renown Overflow glitches.
This is like one of my top 3 videos of yours I've watched. Very good!
The only cheating I was actively aware of before watching this were the mine glitches and the Fates pvp craziness.
A lot of the stuff covered was new for me to learn about.
I thought the calender glitch in Three Houses would be on this list. I use it to do some really dumb things with stats
this is pretty amazing, alot of these are awesome and i never knew about, the viskam i thought was just a random sword so i wondered why it was so op after i got it from another players liason :P
I love the artstyle of the 3H lords in your thumbnails so much. They’re so cute!!
So I actually did hack Shadow Dragon to get everything with 99 uses so I would max out everyone's stats, weapon ranks, and give them all insane weapons only to completely crush the higher difficulties. It wasn't until I lent my copy of Shadow Dragon to my fiancée that she yelled at me for it so I played the game again legitimately on Hard 3, but stopped at the final chapter because I hate it.
That was a Rollercoaster. You need to finish it
@@Faerghast Eh i moved on to New Mystery of the Emblem so I’m good
I played Fates PVP a fair amount, and I once happened across a max stat Ryoma with Warp, the Witch exclusive skill. I had my Selkie, who had every single breaker skill completely legitimately, and I wound up making the other person rage quit, because neither of us could hit each other.
You can get Warp without hacking though
@AkameGaKillfan777 That's true, to obtain it, you must first play the DLC map that gives you the witch's mark item, from there, if you can get the map to go on for enough turns, you can eventually get an enemy witch to spawn that has the warp scroll in her inventory. After you obtain it, you can use it on any character that is level 15 or higher in a promoted class, or 35 or higher if it's a special class (if memory serves)
@@matthewkuscienko4616 that's news to me, but it doesn't explain the completely maxed Ryoma.
@WatchWirtual You could either use the method mentioned in the video (assuming the Ryoma you faced in question had those kind of insane stats), or it's also entirely possible to grind him up to his max stats provided you have enough eternal seals (which can increase the level cap of a unit by 5 each time you use one) and possibly a large enough supply of stat boosting items, with spirit dust being the only one you'd probably need to use to not have to grind your brains out. Either way, it's possible to get just about any unit to their maximum stats if you have enough time and patience, I myself have done so without hacking the game
When I first encountered viskam in three houses, I said to myself there’s no way this is intentional. It was fun to use for a bit, but it’s not necessary on normal or even hard mode. Maddening mode, however is a different story.
I accidently got Viskam in one of my 4 playthroughs of FE-3H. I thought it was a rare weapon gimmick weapon like they had in Fates, as it was cheap, I didn't use it.
It wasn't until I got near the end of my last playthrough that i saw on video on it that I saw vids about it.
I saw Marth move 32 spaces and immediately thought "Oh shit, someone got Melee Marth into a mainline game".
I remember well the Fates hacking shenanigans, back when I was used to play it with online functions one time I spotted a hacked castle that had a Nohrian Princess Sakura and more stuff, in the end I do that kind of stuff but kept it to myself to not harm other people experience, as I know very clear how bad that is, not to mention that on 3DS it was just as easy as to have a memory with hacked stuff without online and the other memory for the legit stuff for example, wished that the game had some sort of cheaters servers or something like that, the 3DS scene really killed Fates online features.
Edit: Heck, even during it's 1st days I was called to be cheating when one player saw my Corrin use Aether during the days prior to the Vanguard class DLC being a thing but said player forgot to check that my Corrin had Nohrian Trust and was paired with a Sakura who had the skill (due to have leveled up enough as Great Lord, a DLC class that could be used since day 1), that way my Corrin borrowed the skill from Sakura with Nohrian Trust during a battle, making it a legit way to use the skill prior to said DLC.
You didn't mention the Three Houses pagan god infinite renown/gold glitch.
Ah yes the 3Ds skill shop days. I remember spending hours in my optimized revelation run where I made sure every character had aptitude and other class locked skills. Combine that with einherjar stat boosting and the game became the ultimate sandbox
This genuinely sounds like the least fun way to play. Why even bother with the game? Like honestly. Its a guarantee you'll stomp every challenge the game throws at you with little to no thought. Isn't the point of a strategy rpg to employ... strategy?
@@TuskyBaby Never play an RPG again
@@AkameGaKillfan777 What a braindead comment. Never reply to me again
Shadow Dragon pvp was pretty borked even without the hackers. So many teams were running 4 pallies and a sage, capped brave weaps and the 3-10 siege tome for chip. It was rage inducing when I found the guys who would take endless turns and just kill each of my units, though. Literally sitting there for a few minutes as my units were wiped out 1 by 1 and I couldn't interact with the game at all.
As someone who found a lot aspects of my current life through connections from ROM hacking... I'm all for hacking or breaking the game and trivializing the single player experience as much as you want. Want to kill everything with Marcus with perfect growths or stats with the uber spear? Have fun bro.
The *second* another player's experience enters the mix, that's where I start condemning people. You don't screw with other people's experiences without their consent. If you wanted a hacker versus hacker private room, that's perfectly acceptable. You do it to randos who don't want your BS? You can leave.
I used to play a lot of Fates PVP and knew about save editing, a lot of players, me included, would just use it to +7 forge weapons without needing to grind for hours on end as well as having max movement on all 5 units which rarely made a difference anyway due to warp and rescue strats. After a while I started bringing Mikoto on my teams just for fun and her stats were normalized so my teams could be beaten by legit players.
I also used save editing to get every playable unit on one save with all purchasable skills and made an easy seize castle for people to get any unit build they wanted. Having both Kana genders helped out quite a few people.
I always wanted to know where the hacked weapon in three houses came from. On my first run I had a few and thought wow this was way to easy not knowing until a playthrough later that the weapon was hacked and not meant to be obtainable.
I remember reading about the mine glitch on GameFAQs back in the day and loved saving that for a later chapter 😊
I recently been playing through fates, and I've been maxing out my characters with hacked skills from other castles🤣
I didn't realize until I saw sibling characters with Corrin's skills and vise versa
Yeah, that's not intended, or certain units on restricted classes like in my case how I spotted a Nohrian Princess Sakura for example (Nohrian Princess is Corrin offspings and Corrin him/herself only class).
You are playing Fate? Make sure you get Excalibur and give it to Saber, she is busted with it
I really need to try the engage aether raids thing. I so stoked about it when the game came out but after finishing my maddening run I haven't bothered!😂
Oh yes I LOVED ds era pvp! I faced so many max stat hackers and beat so many of them because I just had a better team (saved every stat booster until finishing the game) and actually knew how to play outside of just facerolling with capped stats. I still lost my fair share of games to people with more advanced cheats or who got the attacker's advantage through fog of war, but I was able to put up enough of a fight that I won enough to fill my pvp card collection.
Fates PvP just never did it for me. The vastly higher stat caps and skill builds just required too much grinding to legitimately obtain, and I didn't enjoy the game enough, so I never bothered.
*Mine Glitch
Well EEEXXCUUUSE ME, but how else do you expect me to train Nino?
Sacred Stones control glitch isn't just through lava tiles. It works with tree snags as well.
Something I really like to do in Fates is find a few castles with 99 stat caps then recruit some of those busted characters as einherjar and then speedrun conquest lunatic on autobattle
Enemy Phase is probably boring since 99% of enemies won't attack you if they can't hurt you. Also Chapter 15 exists
I remember seeing the Viskam during my Blue Lions run. I still have the screenshot of that appearing and it was honestly really fun. I gave it to my Constance and she sniped everything
I've never once found a Viskam despite checking every chance I can on every playthrough. I want the silly sword so badddd.
This topic was super cool!
When I saw the video title, I immediately thought of the uber spear. I was not disappointed.
Great video man! I remember booting up shadow dragon’s multiplayer mode as a kid. A 32 movement Draug pulled up on me turn 1, and I just turning off the game.
On the Topic of Fates and Hackers, i forget how many exactly i saw, but there were a LOT of My Castles with all of the Gathering Spots for Food, when the average player on Revelations got like 4 total i think. It's the most insignificant thing, but it was a fairly easy way for me to tell back when i played that game.
_Erm AKCHYUALLY the Hauteclere isn't an Archanean Regalia, the third one is Gradivus ess em aytch_
Nerd emoji over a supremely minor script nitpick aside, great vid! Especially fun to see that Camilla get wrecked, must've been humiliating for the hacker to make a team that's stronger than the game allows and still lose
Wow didn't expect to get here this early but got to say i love the thumbnail
Claude pulls a sneaky sneaky
I only came across the Viskam in my final playthrough if three houses. Had no idea what I was looking at, and after a quick google search, Figured I’d have some fun for my last playthrough 😂
I’m quite Devious, thank you for appreciating that
9:16-9:26 I’ve never Shambhala at this angle before.
Ghast what happened with your edelgard workout video? it was pretty cool and I can't find it
The enemy control glitch at least in Sacred Stones let you do things like give Myrrh a second weapon, and make it so Tethys can fight.
The mine glitch just seems fun though, If I ever play that game I will be on the lookout for that
Great work as always
These are so funny , I love the Mine Glitch and I did experience some Fates cheats , it was annoying but I just got over it
To qoute a great man: "It's only cheating if you get caught."
I also remember running into My Castles where the other units would all have Dragon Fang and Aptitude. While I never did any hacking myself, I did totally pay to have the skills learned by my units.
I’m surprised there was no mention of the month skip thing in TH.
I myself experienced some of the Fates PvP hacking. I was kinda into the PvP but after encountering someone with 5 Corrins named after The Black Fang with multiple of the Royals weapons providing them bonuses, I stopped playing.
Another thing I myself did, which isn't breaking the game or anything but might morally fall under this, is through spotpass with Awakening, and 2 3ds's. You can have a spotpass team of statboosters able to be purchased infinitely on the same save file. Just by popping the game into each system, buying the items, saving and making sure that spotpass sends to the other 3ds o you can repeat. Just a neat thing I found out towards the end of my 300+ hour save of Awakening where I utilized that to finish maxing out everyone's stats (like Frederick's magic stat), as otherwise I spent hours grinding and reclassing everyone to have the rng have them hit caps.
I used Viskam once, on my run thats only purpose was to get Renewal on Raphael for my next playthrough, it made my life easier considering i was trying to finish the run quickly so i could start the ACTUAL run
I have one more: in one of the paralogues in engage, I got jumpscared by flier reinforcements and I moved my units backwards out of their range. Everyone knows that moving units even 1 tile away from a boss is a cardinal sin that is unforgivable.
Hacked Skill Inheritance made Fates 1000 times more fun for me. Rend Heaven, Death Blow, and Aptitude on EVERYONE.
as someone who defeated a hackers my castle and "beaten" 2 hackers in the pvp (they dc before the fight ended). this led to me having access to even better and better odds leading to me making a 90% regen every turn (i did not have this equiped i just got it for the lols after beating a hacker. my skills i have is hoshido unity quintoxic astra aether duplicate (i think that is what it is called) galeforce

I recall from my first Blue Lions playthrough, I ended up with 6 viskams by the final chapter. I already had 3 by the time of Dedue's paralogue, so the campaign became trivially easy. I did given one of them to an RNG blessed Annette, and everything died.
God i always feel so dirty using the Viskam...but also damn is that snipe effective for giving your lacking allies level ups from safety, best 1G i ever spent
Technically an oversight over an exploit, but you can make infinite money and renown by selling seeds at the renown shop and buying a certain weapon in the renown shop to sell at the regular shops
It works with anything that costs 700 renown or more and has an unlimited supply of.
I had a DS and Shadow Dragon before Awakening even released, but I guess I was still too late because I don't remember ever being able to play the PvP, I guess everyone had already moved on.
I remember soending so long on my second playthrough of FE7 getting the mine glitch to work and be able to chain the Uber Spear to merlinus so i could steal it and then i ended up mever actually using it. I did kill Vaida cause i didnt know she was recruitable.
I also bought an ultimately unused Viskam in 3H as well
Whats the music at 7:58
Mine Glitch is amazing only topped by the fact that the similar glitch in Sacred Stones can give you a dark magic bishop with slayer XD
I never hacked anything, but thinking about it I'm pretty sure I partook in the skill inheritance stuff you could do in my castle battles. Very fun and I just thought that was a feature lol
I just found out in the Japan nso that fe2 and fe5 are missing while fe4 is present, fe6 also present.
Does that mean there is a higher chance the next remake could be fe5 instead of fe4?
Now I’m reminded of Fate’s PvP cheaters. I love the idea of PvP like this (and it’s one reason why i’m making a FE inspired tabletop war game). Problem is when I’d try to play Online PvP I went up against units that were obviously too strong because of hacking. With the Aptitude stuff I think I only got it on units that I knew could legitimately get it.
Didn’t actually know about the 3H one or the Engage one
the Mine glitch: With this MINE i will make your turn MINE, control over your actions MINE and your weapons MINE...
I came across teams in Engage PVP where each member had 4 revive stones. Those fights were fun
I remember my brother and I doing this for fe11 but it was just to face each other not anyone else. Another fun one was giving tiki or bantu a mage stone so the magic users couldn't kill them. Good times.
What's the song at 13:44?
I remember having seen Viskam in my Golden Deer playthrough and it's a weird oddity being sold. I never bothered with it since I thought it was probably a glitch in the game.
personally the only things that could be considered cheating that i've personally done is save stating to grind some underleveled units in the arena
I played fates pvp around the time it came out and it was rough, it took 5 to 10 minutes just to find a match and your opponent would either run away/forfeit or steamroll you with their hacked team
I loved the mine glitch. Used it on the map u get Canas in order to level up ppl (made everyone drop everything)
To this day I have never done the pirate pier map legitimately thanks to the mine glitch. Also, it is really funny to use the same glitch in FE8 to get monster spells on Tethys. Even if it can crash the game lol
Just before the Pandemic hit the U.S. in 2020, I bought a 3DS Powersaves device that let me cheat through different games to varying degrees. It only did minimal stuff in certain ones, like Mario & Luigi: Dream Team maxing out coins and beans in your inventory, and Ocarina of Time 3D where the only meaningful thing I could do was give Link 10 Bombchus on new save files.
The Fire Emblem games had some wacky stuff though, like getting endless items, enemy only classes, weapons and skills, as well as maximum gold, forging materials, ingredients and Dragon Vein Points on Fates specifically. I can even get multiple DLC Classes and Skills that aren't allowed as much or unavailable in the U.S. version(Fuck you Treehouse, I hope you never work in this industry again.)
Honestly, I'd be happy by just getting all legendary weapons available, no enemy weapons or skills, just that
There were dlc classes that didn't make it to the US? Which ones?
@@Fermin-hw5pd Not classes, just skills. Winged and Armored Shield
What’s your outros music?
I thought you were gonna make the last point about save scumming and the debate about whether you are truly playing fire emblem if you reset every time one of your units die.
