I know I am extremely late, but I don't think that Rhea is Seteth's sister. Rhea is the daughter of Sothis, while Seteth is just the same race as Rhea, a Nabatean.
@@tahamohammad8842 Yes, while all the Nabateans are referred to as the Children of the Goddess, Rhea tells Claude that she is the last child of Sothis at the end of VW. It seems to indicate that she was one of Sothis' actual children while other Nabateans were created through different means (Rhea managed to create new life so I doubt Sothis couldn't). Also Seteth said that he and Flayn are children of the goddess so I don't think that the whole "children" part is meant to be taken literally. Honestly, the whole thing is really vague so a lot is left up to interpretation. Also I'm pretty sure Seteth's wife was also a Nabatean, so I really don't believe they're all related to each other as siblings.
@@bluemoon0371 that still doesn’t change the fact that they are siblings. they might have a different purpose yes but it still doesn’t make much of a difference.
7:44 Is it just me, or was Reha undergoing degeneration? It looks like her dragon skin and wings deteriorating. It kind of reminds me of Duma and Anakos as they were both wrapped and deteriorating.
That looks closer to injuries than degeneration. Besides, there is no indication 3H's Dragons even suffer degeneration (seeing how the two that never returned to their human forma are still perfectly sane).
Not so sure if it is the same kind of degeneration of past FE games. However it's clear that she lost her mind... probably due to serious injuries she received and stress (afterall that's the main difference between this and VW where she doesn't transform).
Adam Rhodes He would have become frenzied, but most likely would have survived, since he didn’t have a piece of her Crest Stone, the Frenzied Knights on the map don’t die as far as I am aware.
@@biandanxious3438 Yeah, but Jeralt only had the blood of Seiros, not a piece of her Crest Stone. You needed both in order to be mutated into a White Dragon.
He wouldn't. Jeralt only received blood from Seiros, like Catherine. Those who transformed with Rhea not only had blood received from her, but also crest stone fragments.
@@anonym0sender You can also save her if you just get the A-Support. She survives but steps down as Archbishop of the Church of Seiros and Byleth takes charge.

You really shouldn't title these "All unique dialogue" unless you've tested all the characters who could potentially have dialogue. Catherine and Cyril were pretty obvious picks for unique dialogue and yet you didn't include their lines.

I've played this map my fair share of times but have never actually routed the red units. The first time I beat it was my proudest moment; it was a challenge run where I could only use certain male units. I have never been more proud of a posse of nine guys in my life.
So both Rhea and Sothis are in a way Byleths mother except Rhea didn't directly birth Byleth. She even said Jeralt carried her blood. WTF this is messed up.
Rhea created Byleth mom but she fell in love with jeralt and have byleth . However she died giving birth but Rhea was able to save Byleth by giving him his mother creststone . Sothis its not Byleths mom , Sothis is Rhea's mom cause Rhea is Seiros . Then Sothis fused with Byleth becoming one and thats why Rhea calls byleth her mother cause in a way Byleth is also Sothis .
@@procrazyman6853 you mad overcomplicated it. Rhea birthed Sitri, Sitri had a baby with Jeralt who was given Rhea's blood, hence why he doesn't know his own age and has a crest of Seiros. So Rhea is your grandmother and is in part your mother because of the blood she gave to Jeralt. Then when you fuse with Sothis, Rhea is your daughter, so she's like your grandmother, daughter and partial mother.
@@Leo-fz6ck You also kinda overcomplicated it. Rhea didn't "birth" Sitri (an in actually being pregnant with her), she created her with unknown means. Sitri is basically an artificial lifeform, not an actual human one (and unlike what some people would likely tell you, no, she didn't actually use her blood for that, there's evidence pointing to it). Jeralt received Rhea's blood because he was on the verge of dying and that was the only way she could save him. It was basically a blood transfusion that had some side effects because it was magic blood. Blood transfusions don't make anyone related to each other (otherwise, Byleth would've naturally inhereted these traits themselves. However, they don't have the Crest of Seiros (not even a minor one) and they also don't have a long lifespan like Jeralt since they were growing up at a normal human rate). And Sothis "fusing" with Byleth wasn't actually them becoming Sothis, it was simply Sothis giving them her power. Byleth's still pretty much their own person (albeit one powered up by a Goddess).
@@skyscavenger7732 The phrases 'blood relative', 'related by blood' and 'blood is thicker than water' should tell you that yes, having the same blood as someone means that you're in someway related to them. Sitri was assumed to have been made the same way that Sothis made her children, which is asexually, and Rhea refers to herself as 'the last child of the progenitor god' on more than one occasion, meaning that yes, even though she was asexually created she is still Sothis' daughter. Same goes for Sitri here, it doesn't matter how she was created, she was still Rhea's daughter. Also on that last point, myself and a large amount of people would disagree. Byleth becomes Sothis and inherits her connections to everyone with whom she is linked.
@@Leo-fz6ck Well you're just objectively wrong on that last point. Literally all byleth got was her power and hair and eye colors changed to green. Doesn't get her personality, memory, appearance, or moral outlook. Its just green byleth that has divine pulse.
I just used a door key to open the bridge thing and then fought rhea but I went into this fight at like level 47 on every unit I beat the map in 4 turns
My theory is that the reason Rhea went insane in this route and not in VW (despite the events leading to this situation being almost identical) is because, in confessing the truth of Byleth's existence, she realized that not only did Sothis actively refuse to reincarnate, but that she would be horrified at what Rhea has done in the name of resurrecting her. That realization likely caused Rhea to become distraught and her powers took over, probably as a defense mechanism. To be real this is probably some Zanado PTSD as well. You aren't fighting a goddess dragon capable of annihilating the planet. You are fighting a broken woman, who just got smacked in the face with the reality that she will never get back what she lost. That it's all gone, it's all slipped away, and all the centuries of agony and pain she endured hoping to see her mother again were for nothing. I think any of us would be emotional over that. It's easy to understand Rhea's pain.
Uh, my first lets play I was able to do this without casualties. Naturally, I used Divine Pulse, but the trick is to have an archer and mage use the devices to the sides of The Immaculate One. Then, have Byleth or any other heavy hitting unit damage where her armor is broken, and have healers near the devices too. Also, for good measure, get other units to her side and use gambit.
Hello man nice video I wonder if u could tell me how I can pass this boss I have tried to beat her more than 40 times and I still can’t beat her I created other file because I thought it was that my troops were underleveled but in the other I still can’t beat her even been more up leveled than the last one
@@thefeogordo5444 Which gambits? Try to get ones that attack more than 2 tiles. Also use the combat arts for your hero's relics since it's the last level anyways lol
Silver Snow’s story and cutscenes are garbo, but golly do I love that final boss. I know some people hate it, but… idk, I liked it more than the Crimson Flower one.
In Silver Snow Rhea only went berserk because after 5 years of being held prisoner in the Empire and used as insurance against TWSITD. Rhea got too weak to contain her Immaculate One form and it started to take over her body. So basically her power became too much for her contain and she lost it to the point where the resistance army had to be forced to kill her
@@colorbenja6163 Short Answer: Because the Devs were possibly rushed with AM and the story ended before it got to that point and VW had Claude, the Alliance, and the Almyran's instead of a half-assed army like the Resistance Long Answer with explanation (so if you don't want to read an essay you can stop here): in Azure Moon's case the story ended immediately when they saved Rhea, They never invaded TWSITD nor do they even know of TWSITD's involvement, because they are dealt with after Fodlan is unified. Rhea transformed after Fodlan's unification. So if AM had a few more chapters they would likely have to deal with Rhea after saving her and she would've been their final boss instead of Hegemon Edelgard. (Plus there is data and rumors saying there was a lot of cut content in Blue Lions, like Felix and Annette betraying the Blue Lions in favor of the Empire for example. I think there was supposed to be a few more chapters too, though that however is yet to be confirmed by the Devs themselves) In Verdant Winds case, my guess is that Rhea wasn't as active in VW as she was in SS. In VW they had Claude and the Golden Deers. More people to look out for her and keep her from overexerting herself, and possibly more treatment and more time for her to rest. The Resistance army in SS however, were very limited as they were an army made purely from scratch and an army made within 2-3 months while the Empire, Kingdom, and the Alliance are more established and been around for hundreds of years. The Alliance also had the support of Almyra VS in SS not even the Black Eagles had support from their own families, the moment they turned on Edelgard all the support coming from the Empire flew out the window. Hell when they reunited, they basically came in with pocket change (even Linhardt basically stated that). while the Golden Deers had more support, Claude is the Duke of House Riegen which is the ruling house, Lorenz and Hilda getting almost full support for their house, Judith supporting them, and Leonie's support from her village, is far more support than what the Black Eagles had combined, (since the Black Eagles didn't have Edelgard and Hubert they were already at a massive disadvantage), House Gonreil alone is three times of what the Black Eagles had. With support from the Alliance and Almyra, Rhea likely had better treatment, more rest and possibly even less things for her to be concerned about, she could likely still be able to contain her Immaculate One form longer until the Golden Deers deal with Nemesis. (though I think it is still implied that the Golden Deers still dealt with Rhea after the fact, but I believe they were a lot more prepared that time, unsure on that detail though. That is just an assumption from what details I got from VW's and SS's ending)
He doesn’t have her blood. He has Sothis’s crest stone. She has HIS blood, technically. Also it might be you need the crest stone as well to transform, which is why Catherine hasn’t
I kinda feel bad for those knights... The white beasts look disgusting and who knows why did Rhea wanted them to drink her blood? Perhaps, she wasn't aware of this? Or did she wanted to make her most loyal knights Nabateans if her mother reincarnated?
@@kellyjohana516 She definetly didn't have in mind to lose her sanity... She probably gave them her blood to protect and boost them, her blood stops aging as shown with Jeralt afterall.
@@clonetrooper2355 his powers are from sothis in the black Eagle rote he did something to destroy his crest stone killing reia has nonething to do with it
My theory is that revealing the reality of Byleth's creation had a side effect of her realizing that Sothis was never going to return, and that all the centuries of time she took trying to resurrect her were (for the efforts of reviving Sothis, specifically) for nothing. Think about it this way. You lose the person you love to a genocidal monster. That genocidal monster is killed but you have to lie about them and say they're a hero to prevent a war and to protect your surviving family. You have a ghost of a shot to revive the person you love most, and after centuries of failing to revive them, you finally have *a* chance to get them back. But then when you are revealing this truth, the reality of "this person I love is gone. Forever" hits you in the face and you become overwhelmed with emotion. Now imagine that: but with the ability to become a dragon at times of great emotion.

This version of Lady Rhea needs to be on heroes on a fallen banner
Nice one.
Well tht aged well hope u didn't miss the banner
@@RivenBelmont No i did not.
I've played this map my fair share of times but have never actually routed the red units. The first time I beat it was my proudest moment; it was a challenge run where I could only use certain male units.
I have never been more proud of a posse of nine guys in my life.
9 guys muscles and cries
@@spindash64 My muscles involuntarily flexed during that run, it was like watching two trucks having sexual intercourse. What a time it was
Immaculate One is a Red-Eyes White Dragon lol.
3:56 fugo's voice actor👀
Does anyone know what the red mark on Rhea's right cheek was after she reformed back to her human form
Blood most likely
@@AugustSolaris yes but why was it shaped like that?
@@KraneJams I suppose it's a reference to the first cutscene of the game where Seiros is hugging the Sword of the Creator.
So both Rhea and Sothis are in a way Byleths mother except Rhea didn't directly birth Byleth. She even said Jeralt carried her blood. WTF this is messed up.
Rhea created Byleth mom but she fell in love with jeralt and have byleth . However she died giving birth but Rhea was able to save Byleth by giving him his mother creststone . Sothis its not Byleths mom , Sothis is Rhea's mom cause Rhea is Seiros . Then Sothis fused with Byleth becoming one and thats why Rhea calls byleth her mother cause in a way Byleth is also Sothis .
@@procrazyman6853 you mad overcomplicated it.
Rhea birthed Sitri, Sitri had a baby with Jeralt who was given Rhea's blood, hence why he doesn't know his own age and has a crest of Seiros.
So Rhea is your grandmother and is in part your mother because of the blood she gave to Jeralt.
Then when you fuse with Sothis, Rhea is your daughter, so she's like your grandmother, daughter and partial mother.
@@Leo-fz6ck You also kinda overcomplicated it. Rhea didn't "birth" Sitri (an in actually being pregnant with her), she created her with unknown means. Sitri is basically an artificial lifeform, not an actual human one (and unlike what some people would likely tell you, no, she didn't actually use her blood for that, there's evidence pointing to it).
Jeralt received Rhea's blood because he was on the verge of dying and that was the only way she could save him. It was basically a blood transfusion that had some side effects because it was magic blood. Blood transfusions don't make anyone related to each other (otherwise, Byleth would've naturally inhereted these traits themselves. However, they don't have the Crest of Seiros (not even a minor one) and they also don't have a long lifespan like Jeralt since they were growing up at a normal human rate).
And Sothis "fusing" with Byleth wasn't actually them becoming Sothis, it was simply Sothis giving them her power. Byleth's still pretty much their own person (albeit one powered up by a Goddess).
@@skyscavenger7732 The phrases 'blood relative', 'related by blood' and 'blood is thicker than water' should tell you that yes, having the same blood as someone means that you're in someway related to them.
Sitri was assumed to have been made the same way that Sothis made her children, which is asexually, and Rhea refers to herself as 'the last child of the progenitor god' on more than one occasion, meaning that yes, even though she was asexually created she is still Sothis' daughter. Same goes for Sitri here, it doesn't matter how she was created, she was still Rhea's daughter.
Also on that last point, myself and a large amount of people would disagree. Byleth becomes Sothis and inherits her connections to everyone with whom she is linked.
@@Leo-fz6ck Well you're just objectively wrong on that last point. Literally all byleth got was her power and hair and eye colors changed to green. Doesn't get her personality, memory, appearance, or moral outlook. Its just green byleth that has divine pulse.
I just used a door key to open the bridge thing and then fought rhea but I went into this fight at like level 47 on every unit I beat the map in 4 turns
God shattering star is great, but this is my favorite final battle music from three houses
My theory is that the reason Rhea went insane in this route and not in VW (despite the events leading to this situation being almost identical) is because, in confessing the truth of Byleth's existence, she realized that not only did Sothis actively refuse to reincarnate, but that she would be horrified at what Rhea has done in the name of resurrecting her. That realization likely caused Rhea to become distraught and her powers took over, probably as a defense mechanism. To be real this is probably some Zanado PTSD as well.
You aren't fighting a goddess dragon capable of annihilating the planet. You are fighting a broken woman, who just got smacked in the face with the reality that she will never get back what she lost. That it's all gone, it's all slipped away, and all the centuries of agony and pain she endured hoping to see her mother again were for nothing. I think any of us would be emotional over that. It's easy to understand Rhea's pain.
I only had one character left
She's just such a damage sponge. I had to reset the fight since I got down to just Byleth and was at the bottom of the map.
F
I wasted divine pulse only on that stupid bishop and the two golems on the top.
Uh, my first lets play I was able to do this without casualties. Naturally, I used Divine Pulse, but the trick is to have an archer and mage use the devices to the sides of The Immaculate One. Then, have Byleth or any other heavy hitting unit damage where her armor is broken, and have healers near the devices too. Also, for good measure, get other units to her side and use gambit.
Does she have any special dialogue with Catherine?
Catherine actually does. She says something about putting Lady Rhea to rest.
How did you have Hilda ? Isn't she unrecrutable in BE path ?
She is reclutable only in the last week before the timeskip if you choose the church route
Oh thanks I have no idea because the first and only Church that I do I make a "no recruit" challenge.
@@solidsnake9621 Don't promote suicide in the comment section dude!
You genius.
Solid Snake She’s only unrecruitable if you side with Edelgard.
Fallen Rhea: Immaculate One
Yep and she is very strong ESPECIALLY on Dragon/ Beast teams
@@allingbrodniak8819 I can't believe I got her title right. Have yet to get her to try for myself
This is the hardest boss in the game for. This opinion might change when I beat the BE route and the Bl route.
Not sure if this much of a spoiler, but just get ready to get hit with a few meteors in the final battle in the BL route.
First Name
Wait what.
First Name
Without context, I feel very afraid....
@@FilthyCasualty talk about decimation and splash damage. You've been warned
First Name
I might message something back when I finish BL route. If I don’t say anything, I’m probably dead.
I love edelgard but that doesn't mean i should hate seteth i love seteth too❤
Track sounds very inspired by dont speak her name in awakening
Apparently it has the same composer
Same composer apparently.
Hello man nice video I wonder if u could tell me how I can pass this boss I have tried to beat her more than 40 times and I still can’t beat her I created other file because I thought it was that my troops were underleveled but in the other I still can’t beat her even been more up leveled than the last one
Did you end up beating her? If not, make sure you keep everyone healed and use gambits so she doesn't damage your units
@@eternaltittaruffo8790 i haven’t
I use gambits heal everyone still I can’t beat her
@@thefeogordo5444 Which gambits? Try to get ones that attack more than 2 tiles. Also use the combat arts for your hero's relics since it's the last level anyways lol
@@eternaltittaruffo8790 i think they are lure, fusillade, and other I don’t remember but the characters influence too?
There is more dialogue if you attack her with catherine
I know it's a normal fire emblem thing that dragons tend to be doomed to go berserk at some point in their future...but like...this just felt rushed.
Cyril has one for fighting Rhea.
Petra: What is the happening now?
what abt the knights?
Silver Snow’s story and cutscenes are garbo, but golly do I love that final boss. I know some people hate it, but… idk, I liked it more than the Crimson Flower one.
Music at 7:44?
Funeral of Flowers (thunder)
maybe I'm just stupid, but for what reason Rhea transforms herself?
I've never understood
In Silver Snow Rhea only went berserk because after 5 years of being held prisoner in the Empire and used as insurance against TWSITD. Rhea got too weak to contain her Immaculate One form and it started to take over her body. So basically her power became too much for her contain and she lost it to the point where the resistance army had to be forced to kill her
@@62swordsmen Then why this doesn't happen in AM or VW??
@@colorbenja6163
Short Answer: Because the Devs were possibly rushed with AM and the story ended before it got to that point and VW had Claude, the Alliance, and the Almyran's instead of a half-assed army like the Resistance
Long Answer with explanation (so if you don't want to read an essay you can stop here):
in Azure Moon's case the story ended immediately when they saved Rhea, They never invaded TWSITD nor do they even know of TWSITD's involvement, because they are dealt with after Fodlan is unified. Rhea transformed after Fodlan's unification. So if AM had a few more chapters they would likely have to deal with Rhea after saving her and she would've been their final boss instead of Hegemon Edelgard. (Plus there is data and rumors saying there was a lot of cut content in Blue Lions, like Felix and Annette betraying the Blue Lions in favor of the Empire for example. I think there was supposed to be a few more chapters too, though that however is yet to be confirmed by the Devs themselves)
In Verdant Winds case, my guess is that Rhea wasn't as active in VW as she was in SS. In VW they had Claude and the Golden Deers. More people to look out for her and keep her from overexerting herself, and possibly more treatment and more time for her to rest. The Resistance army in SS however, were very limited as they were an army made purely from scratch and an army made within 2-3 months while the Empire, Kingdom, and the Alliance are more established and been around for hundreds of years. The Alliance also had the support of Almyra VS in SS not even the Black Eagles had support from their own families, the moment they turned on Edelgard all the support coming from the Empire flew out the window. Hell when they reunited, they basically came in with pocket change (even Linhardt basically stated that). while the Golden Deers had more support, Claude is the Duke of House Riegen which is the ruling house, Lorenz and Hilda getting almost full support for their house, Judith supporting them, and Leonie's support from her village, is far more support than what the Black Eagles had combined, (since the Black Eagles didn't have Edelgard and Hubert they were already at a massive disadvantage), House Gonreil alone is three times of what the Black Eagles had. With support from the Alliance and Almyra, Rhea likely had better treatment, more rest and possibly even less things for her to be concerned about, she could likely still be able to contain her Immaculate One form longer until the Golden Deers deal with Nemesis. (though I think it is still implied that the Golden Deers still dealt with Rhea after the fact, but I believe they were a lot more prepared that time, unsure on that detail though. That is just an assumption from what details I got from VW's and SS's ending)
I'm so sad I spoiled myself big time but happy to know what's happening with Byleth right now
Is this the last battle?
Wait. If those of direct blood of Rhea transformed, then why didn't Byleth transform?
He doesn’t have her blood. He has Sothis’s crest stone. She has HIS blood, technically. Also it might be you need the crest stone as well to transform, which is why Catherine hasn’t
Only those in which the blood flow strong got transformed or got mad.
I kinda feel bad for those knights... The white beasts look disgusting and who knows why did Rhea wanted them to drink her blood?
Perhaps, she wasn't aware of this? Or did she wanted to make her most loyal knights Nabateans if her mother reincarnated?
@@kellyjohana516
She definetly didn't have in mind to lose her sanity...
She probably gave them her blood to protect and boost them, her blood stops aging as shown with Jeralt afterall.
Byleth was born of someone with Rhea's blood. Byleth never took the blood oath.
Can some one tell me why she went crazy this time she turn into a dragon with out going crazy before the war
I think im more confused at the fact that byleth didn't lose his powers for killing rhea like in crimson flower
@@clonetrooper2355 his powers are from sothis in the black Eagle rote he did something to destroy his crest stone killing reia has nonething to do with it
My theory is that revealing the reality of Byleth's creation had a side effect of her realizing that Sothis was never going to return, and that all the centuries of time she took trying to resurrect her were (for the efforts of reviving Sothis, specifically) for nothing.
Think about it this way. You lose the person you love to a genocidal monster. That genocidal monster is killed but you have to lie about them and say they're a hero to prevent a war and to protect your surviving family. You have a ghost of a shot to revive the person you love most, and after centuries of failing to revive them, you finally have *a* chance to get them back.
But then when you are revealing this truth, the reality of "this person I love is gone. Forever" hits you in the face and you become overwhelmed with emotion.
Now imagine that: but with the ability to become a dragon at times of great emotion.
Im calling Marth and all Dragon killers that there's a crazy evil dragon.
