Yeah, compared to previous maps you have to be REALLY fast here to make it in time. That mercenary can be stopped either ~turn 4 when he's around Ursula, or you can intercept him somewhere along his path to Zephiel. But once he's made it in that room before you, you're just done.
I must say, you were well done. Even Mekkah only goes to what chapter dragon gate... To be able to go this far is a miracle even mangs approved your effort my guy👍
God, Zephiel, you really can't avoid or even tank a couple hits from some Joe Schmoe? This guy would make a terrible king. Nobody would respect or even fear him.
Spoilers. RIP, man. What a playthrough. Loved your edits and looked forward to every episode. For a blind run, you did superb. Battle before Dawn (and onwards) is no joke - bane of many HHM runs. Looking forward to more such runs.
I wouldn't feel too bad about this. BBD is a map that basically requires prior knowledge and battle prep strategy. Without a good group of mounted units able to charge both ways there's a good chance either Jaffar will die before you can help deal with the enemies, or Zephiel's "Guess I'll die now" mercenary timer will kick in. This series has been a blast and I'm sad to see it end like this, but I look forward to whatever you do in the future.
"BBD is a map that basically requires prior knowledge and battle prep strategy." Which is exactly why you can't play Hector Hard Mode as your first run.
Good ending unlocked, Hector gets to live! Thanks so much for the playthrough, it made me want to start a FF7 Ironman myself. Look forward to your future content
"Everything that was asked of us we've done. Every night we lay in a filthy foxhole praying the enemy won't slit our throats. Every day we spent crawling through the mud and the dirt while bullets whistled all around. But this is the last time we're gonna have to put our lives on the line. This is the enemy's last stand. When we save this kid, we go home. All of us." - Hector maybe
And so, the story of Hector and his friends was over. The army was alive, but now it will be impossible to stop Nergal. Will the heroes (that are bathing in blood lol) give up? Or will they retry?
Aaaand there it is. Battle Before Dawn doing its thing. RiP run, I will miss the memes. Good job getting to BBD on a blind iron man though! That is no small feat. :D
Battle Before Dawn, the true Ironman run killer. The rest of the maps get about steady, but damn is it a gutpunch to even vanilla runs. So good making up to here
Honestly from the looks of it you were really close to actually saving him too, tragic man. This map is entirely unfair compared to everything else on HHM lol. Fun fact! Ursula moves on this mode! And she will just snipe the tar out of Zephial if Noone squishier is around!
oof. This map is a walking pile of poor map design (by giving no indication of how long you have until zephril dies). It was a good fuckin run and you made amazing content. I can't wait to see more videos on how you would fix fates and other content in the future. I salute you
The moment man entered Battle Before Dawn in FE7 Hector Hard Mode he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the green units, man clings to a dim hope... Yet, the unit classes are the means by which all is revealed... Beyond the enemies path lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are. Zephiels Death awaits you... You cannot escape Death. To live is to die; they are one in the same... Let us finish this. It is the path of your choosing. (Felt this was neccesary because of the music. Good job on making it this far blind Bicken! This map is well know for being an Ironman killer due to green unit AI setting you up for failure early. You're playing was pretty good, but Jaffar let a few to many enemies through. If he had been a bit better you probably would've had it in bag assuming Ursula was killed.)
These are hilarious, and I didn't just spend a chunk of my morning binging all this to justify subscribing to your channel. Or maybe I did. :D Bazingattaaaack!
WHAT!? NO, NO, NO, NOOOOOOO! It was fun while it lasted. I'm happy to have made this journey with all of you. I'm unsure if this counts as a loss or a tie for my bet, though...
Damn I was worried about this chapter. I knew a blind run-through would probably end here. That's why I was wondering if you did any research on this chapter cuz its just so much out of your control. Really loved this series though!! The fact you made it this far into the game is incredible
And so it sadly ends... Welp, it was fun while it lasted. Can't wait to see what you will come up with in the immediate future. But yeah, a shame this army didn't have the end that it deserved
Congrats, you just beat fe6👏👏 I must say, you were well done. Even Mekkah only goes to what chapter dragon gate... To be able to go this far is a miracle even mangs approved your effort my guy👍
I haven't played this game but from what my brother told me, who has played it, this chapter is incredibly difficult, especially blind. Even on normal mode gave him a few retries and nino still ended up dead.
Fun fact: One of the chests in this chapter had a Rescue staff! Not that it'd help 99% of the time, which makes me think the devs were extra evil when designing the abomination that is Battle Before Dawn. Good run! Looking forward to what comes next.
Of course it ended with Zephiel dying in Battle Before Damn Honestly, it couldn't have gone any other way. But at least FE6 never happened, so that's good...?

Guess I just wasn't ready for the difficulty spike. Even the harder maps up until this one didn't have anywhere near harsh time limits.
TLDR: the person who made this map had a terrible day, or was sadistic
@@nikso1496 Both, It was clearly both.

man, that stings. it was looking great, the team was slowly recovering from oswin's fall. only to be done in by a DAMN GREEN UNIT
0:55 Why does this DBZ Kai Abridged Vegeta quote fit Ursula so perfectly like a glove?!
The price Hector has to pay for altering the Elibe timeline...
God, Zephiel, you really can't avoid or even tank a couple hits from some Joe Schmoe?
This guy would make a terrible king. Nobody would respect or even fear him.
The good timeline. Zephiel cannot commit horrific warcrimes because his daddy send assassins after him once.
We essentially just killed baby Hitler
And so, the secret good ending of the Elibe saga has been achieved
Spoilers.
RIP, man.

Pain the map
In the end we never got the Fire Emblem Blazing Blade
Good ending unlocked, Hector gets to live!

Favorite map in all GBA games
Isn't pain if you're casual
Didn’t even get to see HHM Cog of Destiny. What a shame 😔
You know, I enjoyed this so much that I wouldn't have minded that you continued it even after failing the IronMan.
Green unit, no!!!!
Sad to see this go, but excited for what's next~!

Well, look the happy ending: Zephiel die before begin the war vs the humans

Never been one to immediately jump back in. Plus I've been sitting on a concept for a 3 houses run for like 2 months now.
@@Bicken Three Houses Hype!
In all seriousness this run was great and I look forward to whatever you do with Three Houses.
Wow, that was tragic and unfair death...
Anyway, let's talk about the memes for the 3H run.
And here it ends a fucking journey.... at least we will have queen Guinivere for once :P huraaaaaayyy!!!!!!!
Aaaand there it is. Battle Before Dawn doing its thing. RiP run, I will miss the memes. Good job getting to BBD on a blind iron man though! That is no small feat. :D
Classic battle before dawn. See you on another life, brother.
Yeah...that seems about right
Battle Before Dawn, the true Ironman run killer. The rest of the maps get about steady, but damn is it a gutpunch to even vanilla runs.

Dang it Zephiel, you had one job. Well, at least we get to see what Three Houses shenanigans Bicken has in store for us.
Honestly from the looks of it you were really close to actually saving him too, tragic man. This map is entirely unfair compared to everything else on HHM lol.
Fun fact! Ursula moves on this mode! And she will just snipe the tar out of Zephial if Noone squishier is around!
Yeah I was like a turn away from reaching him. It was very unfortunate
aww that is such a shame! im gutted for you, mate

I'm unsure if this counts as a loss or a tie for my bet, though...
what was your bet?
@@Bicken Guy surviving through the series.
@@1080Frostbite well, that was indeed correct
I knew it would end here, but it was a super fun run to watch! I’ll stick around to see what’s next
Well, at least Roy can live a peaceful life now, right?… Right?…
Damn I was worried about this chapter. I knew a blind run-through would probably end here. That's why I was wondering if you did any research on this chapter cuz its just so much out of your control. Really loved this series though!! The fact you made it this far into the game is incredible
Persona music based.
And so the run comes to an end... Personal mvp for me was Erk, Hawkeye, and Guy.
Still. Good job by coming this far 👏 👏👏
you deserve respect and earn it, chad bicken
What a wonderful series, wonder when he will play any other games like sacred stones or binding blade.
And so it sadly ends...
Welp, it was fun while it lasted. Can't wait to see what you will come up with in the immediate future.
But yeah, a shame this army didn't have the end that it deserved
Oh neptune
Noooooooooo
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yeah when I read “blind hhm iron man” I should have expected this. Late game fe7 really is something that exists
Yeah that was to be expected. That map is bullshit. Rip
Damn, no more funny edits, rip run 😔😔😔
Congrats, you just beat fe6👏👏
I must say, you were well done. Even Mekkah only goes to what chapter dragon gate... To be able to go this far is a miracle even mangs approved your effort my guy👍
ahhhh yes i love rng recruitments determining a maps victory condition. sad it had to end here, what a great run though
Bad ending: Hector planned 15+ years ahead to avoid his death.
I haven't played this game but from what my brother told me, who has played it, this chapter is incredibly difficult, especially blind.
Even on normal mode gave him a few retries and nino still ended up dead.

did you ban mine strats?
*see the game over* When is the reset joke?.... There is no reset joke?
'fraid not
Sooooo. When's attempt 2?
But seriously, love these videos (already watched them a dozen times) and would love to see more.
its an iron man, so no more hector, but I'm doing three houses soon
Of course it ended with Zephiel dying in Battle Before Damn
Honestly, it couldn't have gone any other way.
But at least FE6 never happened, so that's good...?
that's what I'm saying!
pain
It was a good run, BBD is just basically impossible to do it blind.
The only consistent strategy for BBD I've found is just using way too many paladins and fliers. Sad that this is where it ends, but it was a good run.
Unfortunately, some idiot got all my paladins and fliers killed, so I'm stuck with infantry.
Yeah this is a pretty shit map, even with tons of prep there's so much luck involved it's just terrible.
Has any patch of FE7 that is not a separate rom hack nerf this chapter
