Yeah. It’s depressing; but as Alear said, we aren’t saving the world anymore, we are saving the people in it. As some say, “death” can also be a form of salvation. As much I don’t entirely agree with this, this fight was the first time where I to set that mindset aside to do the next right thing.
@@meinman7591 i don't think you can, you have to bait him into teleporting to the north where celine and alfred are stationed to be able to actually hit him
Man the Royal's quotes are something else. At this point, they all know they're dead and lament what they did in life while at the same time thanking the player for putting them out of their misery. Except for Fogado, you can argue he's just scared, but he's definitely accepted his fate. Why else would he say: "I ain't afraid to die a third time!" _"I can...I can feel it! The desert sun on my face. Mom, I'm coming home!"_
@avatarwarmech yeah... it's depressing to find out that the world had pretty much collapsed and the surviving winds were only going to inevitably die if they stayed.
You can sometimes hear snippets of the 4 hounds theme in some of the battle themes. Probably to simbolize that you are actually fighting with them this time.
@@kurayamik1 According to Know Your Meme… “We Making It Out of X With This One is a phrasal meme format most commonly used to comment on music videos on RUclips, based on the earlier We Not Making It Out the Hood format. The trend of commenting "we making it out of [place] with this one" is a development of the We Not Making It Out the Hood, a catchphrase used as a way of mocking bad hip-hop songs and beats.” I hope that helped even though I’m a year late.
“Don’t you see? There are people who LOVE you! If I have to defeat you to make that clear, I will!” Honestly I love Alear’s final battle conversation with Fell Nil, but the above line in particular. For some reason it just really gets to me in the best way possible.
Honestly, when has anyone who had the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP EVER talked an antagonist into seeing reason WITHOUT pulling a "Gurren Lagann" and "PUNCHING THEM IN THE FACE TO SEE REASON!"
I would argue gregory's goes as hard if not harder: "Oh, I'll give you something to be sad about. The Lord Nil I knew, that was you without a doubt. I will strike you down. And I will share every last memory I have of him until you weep! As second-in-command of the Four Winds, that's a promise!" Gregory did NOT hold back at all when laying into Fell Nil during the final fight and out of all of the four winds, his VS quote hits different.
I beat the dlc after… 20-30 hours of attempts i was just not using my head a lot of the time. I let out a huge scream of delight. Honestly one of the most memorable, satisfying and hardest final bosses ever. Main game final boss was a snooze fest. Like maybe if I played it on maddening it’d be much harder, but on hard it was a cakewalk. Game ended for me after I beat Nil, full stop.
Umbral Beast: What if I teleported around the map and turned the final battle into a game of tag? FX Final Boss: What if I teleported around the map and if anyone you know and love is next to me, they win a train ticket directly to God's doorstep?
I really love how innovative they got with both dlc’s final bosses. Also, I love how Rafal steals the personal skills of those he defeats when he sinks an island. I still remember thinking I had him beat just for him to proc sol from Diamant, and it is from Celine and being like “how tf” until I realized he must’ve stole skills from those he killed because I purposely let them sink as part of a strategy I had
"Now I can finally be with everyone again... in that beautiful flower field.... Divine Dragon.. I'm..." Hearing Alfred's last words, it just hit me really hard, not only because I adored his golden retriever vibe but also he was my strongest unit in enage, as a Holy Knight. His counterpart was also much fun to see and know about, a really bitter and war monger king. It makes me wonder what if the royals before being courrpted were the same as ours and only gained their counterpart personalities when they died and became corrupted, if that's the case then thinking about Alfred seeing everyone close to him die,then dying makes me a little sad.
Starting to think that this DLC was actually for the four winds because they had no business putting the hounds theme in this and making it slap so HARD
[Spoiler warning] The fact this plays in a ruined version of the somniel that use to serve as a safe haven for the player unit and now left in ruins as each platform becomes a hazard for the player if you don't get out in time. Brilliant, also make me wonder if our pet doggo is also dead in the mirror world.
I'm pretty sure everyone (including all the civilians living in the kingdoms) is dead in the alternate world. Only the Four Winds + Nel and Nil are alive.
This was a more challenging fight than the base game final boss. Although I think the previous chapter before this was way harder and might be the hardest in Engage. Still this was a great fight and the antagonist was a lot more fleshed out than Sombron.
@@nintonintendo1 it depends when you play it. I played it arojnd chapter 16 so I could enjoy the four winds and dragons in the main game so I couldnt give Nel Celica to warp out of there. If you did have Celica you can just get her to warp out of there and only worry about alear.
@@shadowdragun wow did not know that I guess you could warp someone to help nil but only celica will most likely not be enough. I did give nil camilla for stone vein for extra defense and used soren to defeat the corrupted wyrm that appears north of alear.
The "yo Dawg we heard you talking shit about the final boss in base game so have fun as we give you literally no room for error a single turn because you have no time to fuck around" kind of experience lol. This final boss was so much more chaotic than sombron that it had me on edge on normal, I can't imagine what people go through on hard or maddening even if units don't stay dead after the fight it's still hellish to keep things from snowballing against you haha. This is what a real final boss is supposed to be in fire emblem I guess haha.
3:15 this is hands down my favorite part of the song. Personally I think that it is Nell singing it since I think this could have been a lullaby for Nill also it says in the ally notebook that she sings the best lullabies
No lo habia visto de esa manera, ahora esa parte de la canción me da más tristeza la verdad, ya que como tal yo lo asimiló a qué como ya en la tierra ya no queda nadie, es como la batalla para ver quién sobrevive solamente
i must say, hearing about the instakill mehcanics in the leaks before the game came out made me worried that this final chapter would feel unfair and unfun. instead, i very much enjoyed this chapter. it was, in my opinion, a far better final showdown than the base game one (not to say that one is bad, as i adored its 2nd phase too) primarily because it actually felt like a right and proper challenging final level, even if a bit overwhelming at first, whereas the main game one felt more like a victory lap, with chapter 25 serving as the "proper" final level keep in mind all of this is just my simple opinion. would love to hear what others think!
As a person who enjoy listening to music, this one take the cake and did a better job of having the final boss feel like a threat and not a stage hazard.
I agree. I like that it played into the map's design- I didn't expect it to be anything more than just a regular repetitive AoE attack where you'd have to move your units out of the range every single turn, so I'm super glad with what we got
@@Zyaire286 i don't know, the boss really felt like a stage hazard to me more than any other final boss in the series. not to say it wasn't an enjoyable or interesting experience, it just seems hard to not call him a stage hazard when it essentially boils down to the ultimate game of wack-a-mole
It’s a little unfair when Nel and Alear are just stuck dead center of the attack AoE with no way to get out in one turn, forcing me to redo the last two or three turns. Tho I guess I should have just killed him before the first one went off XD

My being an idiot made this a lot harder than it should have been. Ended up coming down to just Alear, Nel and Timmera left (somehow). Also learning of his insta-kill move when my Alear was literally unable to move and on the wrong side of the starting platform was fun
Definitely feels like a Final Battle Music in FE Engage!! I prefer that one over Base Generic Final Battle Theme of Engage, since Xenologue blew Main Engage's Final Battle Theme out of the water tbh
@BitterOrange i suppose you could argue it's "generic" for remixing the main theme of the game into a version more fitting for a final showdown/victory lap, but that's only "generic" because it's a very common and nice form of story telling. the main theme of a game is meant to indirectly be the player character/group's theme, so it's often used as a final boss/victory lap theme when remixed to motivate the player and show that it's not the final boss who's in control of the situation, it's the player who is. there's probably a better way to explain all this, but i hope i made sense.
yeah... for a boring song that I would play to put a kid to sleep for the first 2 minutes 52 seconds... it's too long, the actual good part takes almost 3 minutes to happen, and is too short. and compare it to... every other final boss theme all the way back to and including path of radiance... it is evolving... just backwards... and skipping a dozen stages
@White Wolf this take is mid as fuck. Dont get me wrong, I'm not gonna act like the final boss theme of the base game was some kind of masterpiece but calling Fell Nil's Theme better is such a stretch. I still enjoy them but they both pale in comparison to basically every other final boss theme in the past decade. Hell, I'd argue this one is just as generic cause it kinda just sounds like a boss theme BEFORE the final boss.
2:06 to 2:30 gives me some leitmotif or resemblence flashback but i just cant remember to which theme, I think it was maybe from fates? What is it from, or is it just from another engage ost
This chapter and theme feels like the "Real Final Boss". Everything about Ch. 26 felt very anti-climactic in that with once all four dark emblems were down, killing Sombron himself was a snooze. And the theme itself. But this legit felt very difficult and well-designed. And what initially sounded like a busted mechanic (the insta-kill) actually ended up feeling very fair, even if very challenging. Great final DLC. Can't wait to clear it on Maddening at some point!
Because they wanted something that fits a penultimate battle to save the few survivors of a world dying a slow and painful death, instead of some dragged out chiptune intro with some of the worst vocals in music.
Hey, we know you've been using Micaiah warping strats, what if we make a gimmick based on you warping people around. Rescue staff, of course, Warp or Rewarp would mean you could cheese it very easily
Not really that big of a fan of the sidestory, but this theme playing while having to kill your friends AGAIN, is just heartbreaking. Especially Alfred, who is breaking apart at the seams and is just completely unhinged.
And have Bow/Dragon Stone and Mage Cannon/Staff/Dragon Stone as their weapon types. (Alear has Sword and Arts, Veyle has Knife and Tome, Nel has Lance and Dragon Stone, Rafal has Axe and Dragon Stone; all that left are Bow, Staff and Mage Cannon)

Does anyone have recommendations for which final boss to do first? Not sure if I should save this one for after beating the base game, if people think this dlc one is a better finale
When the boss has an actual nuke for once, this battle took waay to long for me to notice i could start damadging it after i beat up like every bracelet but one. My only gripe whit the dlc is that they made both cannon and the ecnhanter book waaaaaaaaaaaay to expensive like the cannon is a 90 the book for (a mediocre class imo) 40k just too much, finally turned anna from general to cannoneer but if i want to keep boosting her stats to infinity and beyond like that i would need 90k and that is just bs. Anna for once should have less then a 102 hp now lmao
this theme is... well it's not an insult like sombrons, hell this is actually pretty good and not really boring... still nothing compared to the rest of it's competition... but unlike his father's final boss theme, I like this one
man they really put a song this good on the worst map in modern fire emblem history and the worst story on top of that. this is the first map in Engage where I just said fuck it and lowered the difficulty from Maddening. Pretty sure they did not playtest that shit at all 💀
This is unironically my favourite map though. It is very hard and punishing on Maddening, but figuring it out was very thrilling. It has hordes of reinforcements, but they don't spawn in your face like in Ch.25.
@@Shu_Utsugi1999this map on Maddening has like 5 times more enemies with better stats, constant reinforcements and an entirely different behavior from the boss. It might feel like a different game with the ridiculous difficulty gap.

@BitterOrange i suppose you could argue it's "generic" for remixing the main theme of the game into a version more fitting for a final showdown/victory lap, but that's only "generic" because it's a very common and nice form of story telling. the main theme of a game is meant to indirectly be the player character/group's theme, so it's often used as a final boss/victory lap theme when remixed to motivate the player and show that it's not the final boss who's in control of the situation, it's the player who is.
there's probably a better way to explain all this, but i hope i made sense.
ngl the original outright sucked. this one sounds like a boss theme instead of a boring and annoyiny minigame theme for over a minute and a half
yeah... for a boring song that I would play to put a kid to sleep for the first 2 minutes 52 seconds... it's too long, the actual good part takes almost 3 minutes to happen, and is too short. and compare it to... every other final boss theme all the way back to and including path of radiance...
it is evolving... just backwards... and skipping a dozen stages
@@meinman7591 🥱 sure grandpa lets get you to bed
@White Wolf this take is mid as fuck.
Dont get me wrong, I'm not gonna act like the final boss theme of the base game was some kind of masterpiece but calling Fell Nil's Theme better is such a stretch.
I still enjoy them but they both pale in comparison to basically every other final boss theme in the past decade.
Hell, I'd argue this one is just as generic cause it kinda just sounds like a boss theme BEFORE the final boss.
I can't make out the words at 3:15. 🎶 Can someone help me please?
It's in Japanese, maybe someone will translate it sometime.
That intro is far better and more inspired than the rest of the song
2:06 to 2:30 gives me some leitmotif or resemblence flashback but i just cant remember to which theme, I think it was maybe from fates? What is it from, or is it just from another engage ost
It reminds me of Bad Apple (Touhou)

Amazing work!
This chapter and theme feels like the "Real Final Boss". Everything about Ch. 26 felt very anti-climactic in that with once all four dark emblems were down, killing Sombron himself was a snooze. And the theme itself. But this legit felt very difficult and well-designed. And what initially sounded like a busted mechanic (the insta-kill) actually ended up feeling very fair, even if very challenging. Great final DLC. Can't wait to clear it on Maddening at some point!
Actually, he summons more if you don't kill him quick enough.
Why this soundtrack way more better than actual final boss battle?
Because they wanted something that fits a penultimate battle to save the few survivors of a world dying a slow and painful death, instead of some dragged out chiptune intro with some of the worst vocals in music.
This theme is so good but then Nil destroyed 2 islands in 2 consecutive turns giving me an instant game over.
Now the Xenolouge has just left me upset
Yeah unfortunately if there’s two things xenologue isnt it’s fun and fair
Always kill Timerra first/second turns bait her with Astra Storm
Hey, we know you've been using Micaiah warping strats, what if we make a gimmick based on you warping people around. Rescue staff, of course, Warp or Rewarp would mean you could cheese it very easily
It's still possible to beat the map in 1 turn, even on Maddening

1:06 - 1:35 🥺🎺🎺
when i first listened this video i was confused why it was almost 8 minutes long
now with fell xenoloque beaten i finally know why
One part of my brain heard Eri0ne$ at 1:06!
Not really that big of a fan of the sidestory, but this theme playing while having to kill your friends AGAIN, is just heartbreaking. Especially Alfred, who is breaking apart at the seams and is just completely unhinged.
Would've been hilarious if Intsys gave us a second Mauvier even if the og mauvier is like right near the end.
Have someone figured what are the lyrics in the end of the theme? It sounds like japanese, but could be just gibberish.
I would like to know as well
Chad Rafal > v1rgin Sonbrom
Why couldn't Mauvier just use the rewarp staff afterwards
It was the one time he forgot to pack it : |
3:53 FE Theme ;-;
This is something that would play in Final Fantasy VII Remake.
I want another DLC with divine dragons as playable characters now (Alear doesnt count)
And have Bow/Dragon Stone and Mage Cannon/Staff/Dragon Stone as their weapon types.
(Alear has Sword and Arts, Veyle has Knife and Tome, Nel has Lance and Dragon Stone, Rafal has Axe and Dragon Stone; all that left are Bow, Staff and Mage Cannon)
the dlc was totally bs if you did hard or maddening mode, but at least the music still slaps
oh yeah definitely, i couldn't find the mental fortitude to complete the final boss on hard after everything that just happened... it took me 4 hours to do xeno chapter 5 😭😭
I personally really enjoyed it on Hard. It took a good while to beat and it wasn't easy at all but it was fun
@@starlightpika i had to switch to normal after chapter 5, i couldnt handle the amount of bs i went through. i like challenges but not ones that take over 3 hours to beat
@@a_peridox yeah I agree, that’s what I thought too but its too bad that normal is stupidly easy. I really wish the difficulty spike wasn’t so drastic
@@Viovel glad you thought it was fun! I thought it was fun… until it wasn’t 🗿weirdly enough it stressed me out to the point where I got susceptible to sickness and now i have a cold HELP ME 😭😭
I like the start a lit but i think it mellows out too fast for all the initial build up
I wish someone can upload a remix of this
Does anyone have recommendations for which final boss to do first? Not sure if I should save this one for after beating the base game, if people think this dlc one is a better finale
If you do the Fell Xenologue first, you can see the character endings for the new characters in the main story ending.
do main story until ch 23 then do fell xenologue
When the boss has an actual nuke for once, this battle took waay to long for me to notice i could start damadging it after i beat up like every bracelet but one. My only gripe whit the dlc is that they made both cannon and the ecnhanter book waaaaaaaaaaaay to expensive like the cannon is a 90 the book for (a mediocre class imo) 40k just too much, finally turned anna from general to cannoneer but if i want to keep boosting her stats to infinity and beyond like that i would need 90k and that is just bs. Anna for once should have less then a 102 hp now lmao
I like this song but in my opinion, it's kind of all over the place and without proper transitions.
Haha, I'm not a music nerd, but I felt it kinda fit since the map itself is kind of all over the place xD
And remember, if you have not beaten this chapter on Maddening without the use of 1-turn shenanigans, you have not yet beaten Fire Emblem Engage.
Fake, Mauvier used his 1 turn on Zelestia and he didn’t bring a dancer or Emblem Byleth
the temple was going to collapse in 3 turns
this theme is... well it's not an insult like sombrons, hell this is actually pretty good and not really boring... still nothing compared to the rest of it's competition... but unlike his father's final boss theme, I like this one
I love when people unjustifiably shit on music despite having zero actual ability to articulate their feelings
@@anenemystand5582 The OG final boss theme is a 2 minute slow intro with terrible vocals and underwhelming guitar that does not fit at all.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 an example!
@@anenemystand5582 Yes?
This map was complete and total bullshit on Maddening
man they really put a song this good on the worst map in modern fire emblem history and the worst story on top of that. this is the first map in Engage where I just said fuck it and lowered the difficulty from Maddening. Pretty sure they did not playtest that shit at all 💀
This is unironically my favourite map though. It is very hard and punishing on Maddening, but figuring it out was very thrilling. It has hordes of reinforcements, but they don't spawn in your face like in Ch.25.
No es tan difícil el mapa si utilizas bien tus estrategias para poder sobrevivir, al menos así lo hice en normal
@@Shu_Utsugi1999this map on Maddening has like 5 times more enemies with better stats, constant reinforcements and an entirely different behavior from the boss. It might feel like a different game with the ridiculous difficulty gap.
@@UltimusTerminuslo dicho si vas tranquilo y sin nervios puedes pasarlo sin problemas, eso hice sin los emblemas más fuertes y útiles del juego como el de Byleth, Micaiah y el del protagonista
