🎮 ABOUT THE GAME 🎮
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems, and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console in 2004 for Japan and 2005 in the West. It is the eighth entry in the Fire Emblem series, the second to be released outside Japan, and the third and final title to be developed for the Game Boy Advance after The Binding Blade and its prequel Fire Emblem.
Set in a separate continuity to earlier Fire Emblem titles, The Sacred Stones takes place on the fictional continent of Magvel, which is divided into five nations, each built around a magical stone said to be linked to the imprisonment of an ancient demon. When one of the five nations, the Grado Empire, invades its neighbors and begins destroying the stones, protagonists Eirika and Ephraim of the royal family of Renais set out to gather allies and halt Grado's conquest, while also trying to uncover the reasons for the war. The gameplay is similar to previous Fire Emblem games, focusing on turn-based, tactical movement of units across a grid-based battlefield. Core features of the game include permanent death for characters defeated in battle and support conversations that grant advantages to certain units in battle.

Title: Can You Beat Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones With Only Eirika? 
Игры
Which other character would you like to see me solo run in Fire Emblem Sacred Stones?
I would like to see a Ross solo run 😊
@@kisara9919 Ohh Ross is a good one! Very interesting things can be done with him.
gilliam solo too pls
Gilliam has been on my mind too! I'm interested in seeing how different he would perform from Eirika!
doing a solo run with the best girl neimi would be neat, she doesn't get enough love when people play fe8
I'm not a HUGE Erika fan, but knowing Ephraim's personality I find the idea of him standing back and worrying while watching his sister absolutely decimate, dodging everything by a hair and winning a war alone, both hilarious and awesome. I'd be interested in seeing his run, and because I'm a huge fan of Jrose's solo run ranking series I'm also curious how fast Seth would destroy this game... but that probably wouldn't be much of a challenge. Maybe Seth as a cavalier would be interesting?
hahaha that is a great thought, but yeah he'd probably be worries sick lmao. I'm very interested in getting the Ephraim solo run done soon enough, and Seth too. I'm also a huge fan of Jrose, I've been somewhat inspired by him in how I frame this series. I'm actually doing a ranking of time/turns, which I started in the other videos.
Every time he does these runs, all I can imagine is Ephraim in the back with a blunt saying 'far out man' while the demon king vaporizes his sister.
I appreciate you keeping animations on for me the overworld sprites just don't have the same feel as watching them actually attack.
I'm glad you also like having the animation! The game just doesn't feel as special without the animations in my opinion!
@KratosMVN only animation I ever turn off is Healing lol
@@Fearienify lol i even keep those on
@@kratosmvn_ 2 animations are the best.
@@Fearienifyand the dancer if you're using her
Fun fact: In the Japanese version Gorgons can fly making ch.18 possible without the Runesword/enemy control glitch.
Yooo! That would have been game changer they should have kept it that way lmao.
@@kratosmvn_ i think it's still impossible without 1-2
🤯
I thought there were no gameplay differences fir fe8, but I suppose fire emblem has an awful history with localisation, so I'm not surprised.
I just imagine someone playing the japanese version for the first time and being like
"They Fly Now"
It's so nice seeing someone still making content on these games. They are a personal favorite and I'm ecstatic that your video popped up on my recommended! Can't wait to see future stuff!
I appreciate the kind words! 🙏
Happy to bring content from these games I absolutely love.
I too made a channel just recently and just started playing this game as a way to get started and show it some love
"Joshua never attacks Natasha"
... for real? Dang, I never knew that! That would have saved me a lot of time in countless playthroughs if I knew!
In the Japanese version I believe he does, but don't feel bad I learned about that last year after playing this game for like 15 years lmao!
@@kratosmvn_ Oh wow, Japanshua really said a job's a job huh
Same boat though, I know they say you learn something new every day but this is some crazy stuff
All Orson's items get deposited in convoy when you get to chapter 8 so you don't have to trade them.
What’s wrong with two
Afaik you need a ranged sword for Eirika to possibly win this, there’s a gorgon in the volcano that isn’t within melee range; if you’re allowed to grab a Rune Sword from the tower of Valni, I can see it happening,
Very astute of you to anticipate that problem! I do run into this problem and discuss it at around 47:30 in the video!
Its very difficult to get a runesword with Eirika because IIRC you need to kill the bone walkers from 2 range to begin with which she can't counterattack. She might be able to get it while they have it equipped on EP? But I feel like I've seen someone try to grind the Runeswords and the only solution was to break the bonewalkers's Lances.
However I feel like doing the Enemy Control Glitch is fair since you aren't using a non-Eirika unit and you can just burn all the monsters alive that way
@@cooperm4185 Eirika gets promotion before the gorgon map, and with a horse, she’s more than able to get the sword
I really like your narration, it comes really smooth and entertaining. Keep up this videos I love this content!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy you enjoyed
God this is a wave of nostalgia. I never manage to find sacred stones anything in the community
It's a game that doesn't always get the love it deserves in my opinion.
@@kratosmvn_ You're damned right about that
> Never hearing about FE8
**Stares in Boomer confusion**
Makes sense. But its still weird to hear
@Khrene Cleaver lmao happened probably too many times in my life.
@@Khrene Sacred Stones was my first FE if that makes it better/worse
Fun run! As for the final question, I would love to see some runs of the Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn games. Might have to tweak the rulesets due to route splits, though. For more Sacred Stones, specifically, I'm biased towards wanting a Ross run since he's my favorite.
PoR and RD runs would be very interesting, but I gotta think about the ruleset a little to make it work or find a hacking genius that can basically rebuild a custom game lmao. I'd love to do runs on those games though. Glad you enjoyed the video! Ross seems to heavily demanded and with reason.
Hmm... one thing you might want to ban for Path of Radiance runs would be the bonus experience. I'm not sure how much you could get per chapter in a solo run, but it might make things too easy if you can just dump all of it early on into the character.
@Chaossnowkitsune you're right! It might be something I'll have to experiment with, but I count bonus experience in the grinding category personally. Cause it's a way to boost levels with ease.
It has been awhile since I have played PoR, but if I remember correctly I usually have a few thousand bonus experience when you first get access to using it.(Which I think is chapter 9?)
Which would be a huge boost that early on.
Either way I look forward to seeing PoR runs. It would be interesting to see how smithing of weapons would be impact things.
I would personally always give Nephenae(I think I am misspelling her name) a forged slim lance with raised might and crit rates.
This was legit! I’d love to see more of these! Definitely an Axe user next. They always “feel” like the hardest of the triangle to use
I appreciate the kind words! You may see an axe user run sooner rather than later ;)
Hector: Oho!
Great vid and congrats! I grew up with these Fire Emblems so I know the feeling of replaying them so many times. But also, that exhilarating experience of getting those clutch misses and lucky crits is what makes this game so great! I hope we get a remake of these one day.
Thank you! Yeah the experiences I had with these games are near and dear to my heart. I also hope we get a remake soon!
Scrolled down expecting to see a few thousands subs and was shocked to see so little. That much effort and passion is a joy to see, and I love this game as it was the game that introduced me to Fire Emblem. I think a Gerik solo run would be neat (love the mercenary and hero sprites)
I appreciate the kind words! I think the subscribers will get there eventually once people see more of these and the concept becomes much cleaner! It's also the game that introduced me to FE! I love Gerik he was one of my favourites as a kid!
This challenge is one of those runs that makes no sense to achieve, its painful and luck relying
... and thats why you enjoy seeing someone else doing them 😂 Great video I loved it.
Hahahaha sometimes the luck factor can get a little frustrating. 😅
love seeing more Sacred Stones solo runs, it was also my first game and holds a special place to me. I'd be interested in seeing you do a Colm run!
Ohhh Colm was on my favs as a kid! I'd be more than down!
FE8 was my first and favourite FE game too, this was such an interesting watch! Looking forward to more!
FE8 is very often overlooked in my opinion. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and welcome aboard!
Just discovered your channel ! Realy enjoyed the vid, so here's my "which character and game" Matthew from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, it was my 1st FE game, i was jumping between between dad and mom's houses with my good ol GBA and matthew was always "my boi" :) (god i loved the assasin sprite crit so much !)
I'm very happy you enjoyed the video :D
Also, it's awesome to see another Matthew enjoyer! I loved him in FE7 and the assassin sprite will always be one of my favs. I'll add it to the list.
Doesn't Wretched Air pierce defense? Your stats don't matter against that weapon, you get 2HKO no matter what
You're 100% right. It's a detail I overlooked. Dang, so that means that no matter what you'll have to really on dodging that attack at least once!
I can't believe this is even possible. Well done, and only convoying an elixir once just to not need it, insane.
Appreciate the kind words! It was treck but we did it haha
I’m usually not one to watch long streams or gameplay videos but you got yourself a new sub 👌🏼 You have a dope personality and great sense of humor. I’m forward to see you do more runs in this series!
I really appreciate your comment! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the sub 😀
New to this FE channel. The highlight for me is not the challenging gameplay but the funny and cute reaction to those clutch moments.😂
Welcome to this channel! I love that you're enjoying the reactions. I try to have a varied approach that appeals to different audiences so glad to see someone enjoying the reactions.
Great run. I kinda feel self conscious because FE on normal mode takes my full attention/brain power. And seeing you guys doing solo/low level/no grrowths types of runs makes me feel a certain type of way lol.
Hey, don't feel bad about it we all have different experiences with FE the newer games are very challenging to me and I need more time to get through them than FE8 for example. As long as you have fun that's what's important.
Games are supposed to be fun! Play the game the way you enjoy it. I like to play on the lowest difficulty possible, myself.
An example for this I like to use is Trauma Center. I have gotten reasonably good at those games - I have achieved XS ranks on several operations (best rank, only achievable on the highest difficulty), but I prefer to play on the lowest difficulty because it's just satisfying to play doctor without having to worry about the challenges of doing so.
Your narration and audio quality are so good for such a small channel! Thanks for such an entertaining video, I'm really looking forward to any future runs you do. Great content.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed.
This was my fire FE game as well. And to this day I've beaten in maybe a dozen times. Never tried anything special with any of the runs. Just playing it normally. But watching this video I now realize I don't know nearly as much about the game as I thought..... Like, I've only every played it using face value knowledge. I never memorized what items drop where and stuff or what conditions trigger reinforcements ETC. I fully expected this video to result in confirmation that solo run is impossible, but wow. Nice.
To be fair, I HAD to learn a lot doing the run too! It's not all knowledge I previously had haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sacred Stones is a special game for a lot of us I see!
I just got recommended this video by youtube. It's great and also enjoyed watching your fire emblem awakening lunatic video. I'm looking forward to more fire emblem gameplay/challenge videos!
I'm glad you found the channel and are enjoying the content! More to come soon! :D
A really amazing video! Seriously, one of the best videos I've seen in a long time, it's kinda hard to believe this is the first video you've done like this
Wow, thank you!
I'm glad you did this, I got to re-experience the game again. ^^ I still have this game, just not a Gameboy :/
Glad you got a chance to re-experience it through me! Finding a gameboy nowadays can be quite tough! Hopefully you get a chance to re-experience it yourself.
Very glad this popped up in my recommendations! ooking forward to new content!
Also I would love to see a Colm run!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! New content should be arriving soon! Colm has been a more popular ask than I had anticipated haha.
No character preference, but definitely want to see more solo runs!
There will be more solo runs I can guarantee that and one may be releasing very soon! 👀
I know I’m late but this was really cool I don’t see many solo runs that are not 3 houses. Also I always find it funny how you just take on a war with just 1 person. I just imagine the enemies just fighting that person and everyone else is just taking bets on how long the battle will be
Thank you! I love solo runs too and thought it would be nice to see more variety in this space. Yeah everyone sitting there being like: 'shouldn't we help them?'😂
How have I only found this ch now? Gonna eat through all your videos brotha. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything so far
Glad you've been enjoying it! Thank you so much for watching and hopefully I can keep making more content you'll enjoy!
The problem with Erikia in this run stems from the fact she doesn't promote until Chapter 18. I really think Fire Emblem games should consider making their Main units more useful in the mid/late game. (Before they Promote).
This can be achieved by letting them promote earlier. Giving them 5-10 extra levels for their Base Class. Letting them start as a Trainee Class. OR giving them exclusive Items. (Such as Stat Boosters, Weapons, and Armor items like the Hoplon Shield and such).
That freakin' fight with Valter reminded me how bat shit scared I was of him when I first played through this game. Guys a freakin' beast and a freak in lore. Seeing that exchange was absolutely intense!!
My homies and I all hate Valter.
This video looks great! Sounds good, too! Keep it up!
Also, by "sounds good", I mean the audio quality. The background music and voice volume is Juuuust right!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Will keep it up!
Great video! I would love a Gilliam solo run.
Thank you! Gilliam run is on my shortlist soooo, soon hopefully!
I've seen a lot of solo runs for pokemon, but other than speed runs I haven't seen it in Fire Emblem. Cool challenge idea and Sacred Stones is probably one of the best games for it I would guess.
I'm enjoying the concept and I'm still working on more. The GBA games are certainly easier because it's easy-ish to switch out the main lord of the game for someone else using FE Builder.
I really enjoyed this nostalgia trip, great idea and great execution!
I'm glad you enjoyed! Thank you for the kind words! :)
Love your video and narration! Reminds me of Jrose11 with his Pokemon runs!
Glad you enjoyed! I actually inspired myself off of Jrose11 for this idea!
Cool video / run!
I thought that Eirika might struggle but she can actually do it D:
Thank you :D
Yeah, she does have a hard time in certain areas, but she can manage at the end of the day.
your videos are really good! I think you deserve more subscibers....
Thank you for saying that I appreciate it! I guess I'll just have to keep working to get more haha 😄
love the video, cant wait for the next one
Glad you appreciated and thank you for watching! Next one should be out soon enough!
This was a very cool video to watch though, and I'm looking forward for other runs! Your idea of keeping the time to compare it to other characters remind me of the RUclipsr Jrose11 who does something similar with Pokemon
I appreciate that! Hopefully you'll enjoy the other runs. I got inspired by Jrose actually. At first, I just wanted to do the solo run, but then decided that maybe I could actually go by his approach, but with Fire Emblem and that might be fun!
cool idea can't wait for more
Thank you! Should have a new one up soon.
My last sacred stones run my Eirika was a beast and could solo practically anything. I much preferred to use her over practically any other sword unit I had lol
It's so nice when you get a good Eirika that puts in a ton of work for you!
Great challenge run !
I'm happy you enjoyed :D
Makin me want to play this again and actually finish it
I love this game even though it's sometimes considered one of the weaker entries in the franchise. You should definitely look into finishing it.
Oh someday I will, tbh this is probably my favorite from the ones I’ve played, despite not beating it :P
I'd like to see you doing the same with Ross, Amelia or Ewan.
Doing it with the trainee unit is definitely an interesting prospect.
Love the celebration at the last battle 😂😂😂
Thank you! It was a tedious journey to get there so it felt good to finish it haha
Really nice video with good flow (for me atleast!)! Keep it up man
Appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed the video! 😄
I wish Nintendo would release a Classic Fire Emblem collection like Capcom did with MegaMan Zero and the ZX games(ZX and ZX Advent) and have Sacred Stones included
I would also love that hopefully we get at the very least some remakes soon.
10:00 hey, that was where Amelia lives!
I hope she wasn't too attached to her house 😬
It'd be interesting to see how fliers would do in a solo run. Vanessa would be my pick.
Also another game to do solo runs for could be Conquest. I've done many solo runs on Conquest myself and it's an absolute blast with unique challenges depending on which unit you use.
Fliers should be soon enough, hopefully!
I'd have to do conquest at least once first, it's one of the FE games I've never played! Hopefully I get to it soon as a first playthrough maybe on this channel? 👀
Dope video! I see the effort put in! +1 sub
Thank you so much! 🙏
I have watched this run about 4 times already and I am thinking a good way to balance the healing items convoy rule is just to allow yourself only to use Vuls and Elixirs obtainable via Other Units Inventory, Chests or Enemy Drops. Not buying allowed so in that way you cannot abuse it but still has a little of a challenge
Thank you for watching it so many times haha! I'll take the shop rule into consideration because you're right it would be easy to abuse.
A run that I would love to see is a couple challence Sain and Prisilla from FE7 and Zihart and Iliana from FE9 and 10
Both couple who have great chemestry abd support ( gameplay and Story) but for some reason don't have pair endings
So yeah if you do one of them it would be great to see
I will for sure keep it in mind! :D
I would like to see a Hector only run, could be quite something but it would be fun since so far I have only seen an lords only run of FE7
Hector only FE7 would be quite fun for sure.
2nd best Fire Emblem game behind Radiant Dawn.
A fellow intellectual I see! Radiant Dawn is the bomb!
The game might be easy but I am hopeful of it being made a remake because I just love the lore of Magvel, unlike the other FE.
I can't wait for the day we see this wonderful game as a remake!
Yeah I did this years ago glitchless/no cheats. As far as I can remember I needed to bring Ephraim along since he was required during that chapter you were stuck on with the gorgon eggs so Ephraim had to kill the last two enemies since they ran away in a weird way, while Eirika did all the work. Final boss gave me trouble for the first time ever since other enemies were trying to attack and kill a weaponless itemless Ephraim . It did help manipulate the A.I to funnel towards my Eirika whenever possible. I avoided the tower too to do no grinding cause I knew grinding would be pointless since she's gonna max out during the game anyways. nice call on the runesword though. Eirika only is still my favorite solo challenge in FE. Lyn solo is close with Corrin solo not far behind.
Yeah it's a fun challenge I believe because of ups and downs in the run! Good call on using Ephraim for that 1 chapter!
One of my favorites for Soloing takes a little bit before he can really do work, but Moulder is fun. Obviously can't start the run until Chapter 5 when you get a guiding ring to learn a damage spell but thats fine
Yeah, healers may take some creative work arounds to make work haha. But I'd be interested in trying Moulder
God this is amazing I absolutely love sacred stones
Glad you enjoyed! I love Sacred Stones too!
You've mentioned a couple of times that your earlier runs have suffered from a lack of overall knowledge on doing these runs, and have expressed some interest in redoing a couple, but I've noticed you've never brought up Eirika even though, while almost certainly remaining the *hardest* solo in the end, I think very easily suffers the most from your inexperience--I wound up doing my own Eirika solo run, largely following your ruleset (I wound up letting units who just joined/are force deployed do things like unlock doors, visit villages, and rescuedrop etc. You *sometimes* seem to allow this but also sometimes don't so...idk) to see how good of a time I could get, and I, while definitely still having some serious room for improvement (I wasted something like half an hour over the course of the run from watching all of the story cutscenes), wound up getting a 586 turn clear, with a gametime of 10:49. I will say, the fact that my Eirika was defense blessed (She had 13 def after the dracoshield boost at 20 unpromoted) was a big part of what made me able to take the game at a much faster pace, but even still there is a ton of improvement to be made here and I figured I would share some of the strategies I came up with to make the run both faster and less of a colossal pain in the ass.
The single biggest thing here I would say from my observations of your footage is that I think you're too afraid to make use of your various weapons and seem to default to having Eirika use an Iron Sword, when as a unit whose strength becomes increasingly shaky as the midgame drags on is really not in your best interest. She can still double everything before Chapter 10 while using a Steel Sword, and the only difference past then is that Mercenaries start hitting the 12 speed they need to avoid being doubled. Though settling for a two-round on them is rarely needed....
Chapter 1, I used Seth to rescue Eirika and pull her all the way to the north side of the map, then dropped her on the fort and let Franz trade his Iron Sword over to her to allow her to save a couple of rapier uses.
Chapter 5x, I simply had Orson bumrush the whole map with Forde's Javelin. In hindsight, I think I should have not used the door key here to get that elixir because like, money turned out to be less of a concern than I expected (and I end up doing some pretty expensive things LOL)
Chapter 6, I wind up using like, 2/3rds of the Rapier's uses onerounding the knights and cavaliers on my way towards the boss. If you don't allow Tana to pick up the 2nd rapier in chapter 9, you definitely shouldn't do this, but since I think that's perfectly fair since she's force deployed and you can unequip her and have her avoid all the pirates altogether...
Chapter 8, I use the rest of the first Rapier's uses to kill the armor knights near the top of the map very quickly. I also make use of Forde and Kyle's ability to ferry Eirika around to get her across the map faster, and also open the door up top and grab the Silver Sword with their turns, instead of Eirika's.
Chapter 9, as I mentioned before, I let Tana collect the 2nd rapier because like, she's not doing any fighting or staffing or whatever, so...Meh. I also use a couple uses of the Silver Sword to kill the sniper up top, and use some uses of the Killing Edge to kill Binks faster.
Chapter 10 is the first chapter where Mercenaries can no longer get doubled while using a Steel Sword--in response, I begin to use the Killing Edge against them whenever I can get away with it (Like the start of the map, for instance. It also helps that my strategy is to rush to Innes as fast as possible...) I decide to go for recruiting Marisa because that Shamshir is very nice...to deal with all the reinforcements that spawn, I largely just kinda abused the chokepoint and poked the incoming cavs with steel swords. I did wind up using a couple rapier uses to take down the Rangers, though. Not that much else to say besides that--I believe I used a couple more Silver Sword uses on Pablo?
Chapter 11, again, I use the Killing Edge to speed things up, by using it and critting on the Wight on the bottom left corner of the map,but other than that I don't really do anything...I actually screwed up by forgetting to kill the enemies around the left chest at first and that cost me like at least 10 turns of walking all hte way back around lmao
Chapter 12, not really that much to say other than that I use Gerik's Steel Blade a little to just barely oneround the Baels who didn't roll high on HP. Also I make sure to get the energy ring because like, duh.
Chapter 13, I bumrush Aias--I actually wind up using the majority of my second rapier here to speed things up, but TBH i should have just used like a few Silver Sword uses or something because I end up regretting not having any Rapier for Orson...The strategy also results in me losing the Zanbato but that thing kinda sucks anyways soooo
Before Chapter 14, I very importantly make sure that all my gold is in order--I sell all the promotion items alongside the gems and get a crazy amount of cash, more than enough to fund the scheme I cooked up here...
See, I recruit Rennac. I am very convinced that doing this is an absolutely enormous boon both in the short term and in the long term for this run--see, Rennac joins with his own Vulnerary, which is a whole 30 extra HP to play around with on this map and oh my god does it help out a ton. Thanks to this extra health, I cut down on the Lancereaver usage because I can just afford to eat a couple more hits and still succeed.
That's not the only reason I recruit Rennac, though--after sweeping through the map, it's time to go shopping! While this secret shop is largely pretty tame cuz no stat boosters for sale, it DOES sell Killing Edges. Which, I can't even begin to describe how helpful having a bottomless reserve of those things helps with the next couple maps. I also buy a handful of Silver Blades from the shop as well--sadly, no proper Silver Swords for sale here, but the Blades do still hit really freaking hard and come in handy in a couple spots, especially after promotion. Then, I use the Shamshir and fight Carlyle and pray I don't get fucked over and then win, yippee.
Chapter 15, I'm actually pretty proud of coming up with this one--follow along for a bit. First I charge Eirika all the way left, killing the mercenaries and fighters on the way. On her third turn, I equip the Killing Edge because she gets attacked by a Steel Lance wyvern, and go straight down, trying to meet up with Duessel. It's very important that you use a good weapon for fighting that wyvern, because if you don't then he'll just screw a whole lot of things up. It's okay if he survives--as long as you hurt him enough to make him try to run away and heal. Anyways, Duessel rescues Ephraim like usual, but instead of going and hiding directly in the village tile, keep going up! Knoll follows for one turn, then goes back down to lure the two fighters away and dies horribly. You should have Eirika and Duessel meet up right around the tree--no, this isn't me saying that he's by any means saved, but doing this lets you give Duessel a Pure Water to help out later. Duessel will end his turn on the forest tile surrounded by the sand above the village. After that run as far down as possible as you can as Eirika--if you've followed these steps correctly, the absolutely massive swarm of pegasi will surround and attack Duessel, occupying all the spaces around him and preventing any other units from getting attacks in--keep in mind that the pegasi CAN'T DAMAGE DUESSEL! The only units who will be able to damage him are a fighter occasionally attacking for two damage, and a mercenary doubling for 1x2. If they hit, of course. As long as you take care to avoid the ranges of the pegasi, you can now begin to deal with the swarm of cavaliers, using forts and some Lancereaver usage to (hopefully) clear all of the ones out from the southern portion of the map. Next, you'll need to carefully pull away the Shamans that have hovered around Duessel by using Pure Waters on Eirika and beating them one at a time--eventually, you will end up pulling away some of the pegasi and freeing up some slots for Shamans to attack, that's inevitable, but that's what we gave the pure water to Duessel for. Plus, thanks to the forest tile, he dodges them a LOT regardless. Once that is all taken care of, kill the bosses and those last few wyverns around Valter as you normally would.
Before Chapter 16, I go to the Tower of Valni to grab the Runesword. You may have already been told this, but just in case--if you enter the tower, retreat, save your game, then reset, reload, and go back into the tower--there will always be a skeleton holding a Runesword in the top left corner of the map. I do this and grab just one, because while having more would have certainly been extremely helpful, getting any more than was absolutely necessary felt like it violated the spirit of the no grinding rule.
As for chapter 16 itself, I was extremely tempted to go for a YOLO strat which just had you charge directly into the top of the map without bothering to kill the cavs or the druids, and just abusing the Runesword's healing to get to Orson...and while that part worked without a hitch, I had absolutely no way to actually kill Orson anywhere near fast or safely enough to not get pummeled by the rapidly approaching reinforcements. If I had saved some more Rapier uses (I used the remainder of mine poking cavs in chapter 15) then I would imagine this strategy might be feasible, but with the tools I had it just wasn't. Anyways, after sitting on the pillar and using the mountain of Killing Edges I have to chew through the swarm of fodder, I still do wind up equipping the Runesword and YOLOing up to the top of the room, where I can heal for huge amounts on the knights and warriors all around. After a couple tries, I ended up sweeping through it all with a couple Elixir uses to spare, so I then squared up against Orson with my Silver Sword and prayed to god. I did win! Crazy ass situation I found myself in though, I kept on missing and had used up all my elixirs without damaging him anywhere near enough to go in for the kill, and then he hits me and I'm a hit away from death, but I realise that the Runesword negates weapon triangle and makes him do less damage and lets me barely survive and chip him that little extra bit, but then he switches to the Silver Sword and he could kill me again and my heart basically exploded but I still dodged it (thank GOD) and then won. God. I wound up skipping the Talisman because my Eirika had enough res as-is.
You pretty much already know any strategy differences for the later chapters--use Silver Blades on chapter 17 to oneround the wyverns, charge Riev in chapter 19 and kill him with the Brave Sword, take the bottom route through chapter 20, and use Audhulma to protect from Lyon. The challenge has always been smooth sailing after Eirika gets her promotion, anyhow.
Also my Eirika wound up, after her already great start from before, post promotion capping out all of her stats except HP (59 though lmao) and resistance. Metis' Tome is a helluva drug.
i'd love to see a Lute run!
Lute could be a good run since imo she's one of the great characters of the game.
Lute already toots her own horn so she'd become even more insufferable with her over confidence if she ends up saving the world without help.That
Would be funny though
19:15 The shamshir is myrmidon/swordmaster/assassin only anyway
Oh! Well that's good information to know. Thank you for clarifying for me :)
I could've sworn that Erika's class can also use it.
@@kratosmvn_ I just checked, Erika's class actually can use Shamshir for some reason.
Watching u talk about stats while the family got eaten by giant spiders sure is something
😂😂😂 I know where my priorities are, what can I say!
Huh... you know I just thought of something that might be interesting to keep track of once you start doing other fire emblem games. That being a comparison of how well the pre promote you start with in each game handles the game they are from. For example: Seth in this game, Marcus(I think that was his name) from FE 7, Titania from Path of Radiance. Just to see which one can destroy their game better.
yo this is great content
Thank you I appreciate you saying that, glad you enjoyed :)
Nice vid! I love solo FE runs of any kind
How about a FE Birthright Lunatic Mozu Solo? It’s very easy to solo w/ Corrin but I’m curious if you can with other characters (that aren’t named Ryoma lol)
Or if you wanna add some spice, a Rev Mozu solo or Conquest Mozu solo
Ohhh, that could be interesting. I've never played Fates thought so I'd have to probably do a first playthrough of that soon. I'll add it to the list still.
Happy you enjoyed the video. :D
Eirika soloing the game is funny because it feels like choosing Eirika's route is signing up to be the damsel-in-distress. Literally all you do is fail and get saved by Ephraim.
The world building is better in Eirika's route though so that's a plus.
You're right haha I'd hadn't seen it that way!
Would love to see a video with Knoll next!
Knoll my nemesis!
Eirika is my favourite Fire Emblem character, Because She is pretty, badass, bright, gorgeous swordsmanship princess, And that her battle stats is very awesome, Her skill and speed very high, But her strength and defense is medium and magic defense is low-mid, Maybe she's wearing awesome outfit have something to do with it(mid thick short sleeve crimson turtleneck tunic, Gold plate mail(marking Renais emblem), Fingerless Plate Gloves, Yellow mark Renais emblem cloak, White skirt, crimson long flat boots, Handing rapier), So when I play the FE 8 games, Every remember FE 8 female main character and her outfit.
Eirika wearing battle outfit is cool, She didn't like wearing leggings and heavily armour, Because she like comfortable and lightly armour to easy move around, And that she can handing Shamshir, So many player remember FE 4 Ayra outfit, There are many player who think she is not Lord, But She really is Myrmidon and Swordmaster, That is awesome and nice pretty Reanis Eastern fast swordsman princess.
For Ch 15, could you have left duessel on the village tile to the left so that he at least can be hit by fewer units?
That's a good idea I'll try it in my next run attempt!
This is by far the best fire emblem game imho
It's a great game one of my fav in the franchise.
I've played this game 3 times and I'm still waiting for a str level up
Just Eirika things.😂
You remind me of JRose! Great videos
Thank you so much! 🥰
So basically once promoted Eirika has no problem the rest of the run (except for her inability to kill two Gorgons on a route map) but its her time stuck at level 20 until her promotion during the midgame where she really struggles.
Yeah, post-promo the run simplifies a lot.
What if you attempt to do this challenge in the Sacred Trilogy? I think it would be cool to do when the 1 year anniversary for this video comes.
I've never played Sacred Trilogy, but maybe after I go through it once to see what it's all about.
What I hate the most while playing this game is having a 90%+ chance to hit someone and missing while they hit you with a 19%- chance and poison you in the same turn…. The undead/monsters do this a LOT to me…
Happens to all of us I think. It's extremely annoying, but also a reason why we come back to the game I think, to see all the unlikely stuff 😂
@@kratosmvn_ lol true. It’s a game I haven’t been able to put down since I bought it way back when. Lol
@@tonysauruswrexu4623 My favourite franchise of all time. Have been religiously playing these games since I was 8 years old.
@@kratosmvn_ very cool! I have played other games, but always come back to this when I want fun strategy time!
My worst experience of that was the time Erika had 99% but chance and would go twice while the opponent had an 8% chance to hit. She missed both attacks while the axe user hit.
Wow, I never thought I would see the day someone died to the demon king
LOL, yeah it happens when you use only a single character
I've suggested for other Sacred Stones solo runs like this for the sword locked units to beat chapter 18 is to do a single run of the valni tower floor 1 after hitting level 20 and doing a system reset so that the skeleton with a runesword spawns on the first floor of valni tower, then kill the skeleton to get the runesword, and only use it to break those 2 eggs swordlocked units can't reach otherwise-then discard the runesword so it is just removed rather than being sold for extra money. That to me seems to be the best compromise/way to maintain the spirit of the solo runs without having to cheat in items.
As a further note-did you get the body ring in the desert chapter? That would also really help a lot of units like eirika that have low constitution, but can need to use heavy weapons like the armorslayer or lancereaver
that dragon in the penultimate map-the dragon zombie's breath weapon ignores defense/resistance and always hits for full damage, so extra defense wouldn't help, only extra HP. I suppose extra defense or resistance could help with staying at a higher HP for when you have to face the dragon though
there were quite a few sections where you took risks you didn't need to by insisting on only doing enemy phase attacks at times, even when you weren't at risk of dying if you did attack-most notably vs carlyle, valter and I think some of the lyon fights, and wasted a lot of valuable weapon charges like early lancereaver and rapier uses
really neat run to see, FE8 is one of my favorite FE games, even if it's an easier one
Yeah, I planned to use the tower because I feel it's the most legit way to do it, but being softlocked and all I had to hack in the sword :S
I actually didn't get the body ring because I entirely forgot about it and it would've come pretty handy for Eirika in certain situations.
Watching back the footage actually thought me a lot about the run actually because you are right there are many times where I wasn't as efficient as I could have been.
I'm glad you enjoyed the run! Thank you for your comment. And yeah FE8 is really fun in my opinion.
@@kratosmvn_ my comment about the enemy phase only thing at times when you shouldn't have wasn't so much about efficiency as avoiding unneeded risks that could end up with the solo character dying. There are a fair number of times where it is better to wait and let the enemy initiate first so you can get in 3 hits (counting the next player phase) before they get 2, but with bosses that are on forts or thrones that heal, not attacking after they've taken damage risks them healing too much to be able to be killed in the next round of combat. I know I've messed up like that before quite a number of times and always kick myself for it since it usually could have been avoided, and I have to make up for it by bringing in another unit that I would have rather used elsewhere to clean up the mess, or risk the unit dying if they get unlucky and hit multiple times
What other units do you plan on doing this with? I know seth is another obvious pick since he actually does have close to perfect availability like eirika (ignoring 5x), but what would you do for other characters that only appear later on, like marisa, saleh, or syrene? Would you hack them in/replace seth/eirika with them? What would you do for units that are prepromotes like Duessel? Demote him and have him start as a lower level unit with weaker stats? Doing this challenge with a flier will certainly be interesting, especially if it's one that's not great like syrene is
Oh I see what you mean about healing you're right!
So, my goal now is to try and do it with every unit (if possible of course) the way I'd do that is by using FE Builder to manipulate my starting character for anyone in the game. So, this question came to my mind and I think I'll run them as they are when you receive them in the game, because demoting them or making them start at lower levels wouldn't give an accurate picture especially comparing to some other units. I think one of the interesting things about, let's say, a Dussel run is how he ends up doing in the later stages of the game with limited potential on his side.
@@kratosmvn_ you'll probably want to decide early if you want to replace seth or eirika in the prologue chapter with whoever is doing the solo-if seth then they don't have access to convoy and eirika will need to be protected at all times, something that makes maps like chapter 6 an absolute nightmare. If they replace eirika, then they should have access to the convoy, while also reducing the need to protect units since there won't be a forced deployed weakling to protect on every single map
I think duessel would actually still do pretty well in the final chapters even with just his bases-I've seen people do 0 growths runs and duessel is usually one of their star units since he's always a solid unit and has amazing bases
What will you do for units like cormag that have differing start levels and stats depending on which route you go with? If I remember right, I think cormag and duessel are the two hit hardest by this, though knoll, innes, and saleh will also be affected since they can start at differing levels based on route chosen. Actually-how will you decide which route to go with for each run? Based on what you think would be easier/harder for them, or just sticking with eirika's route for the most part except for maybe ephraim and knoll runs?
And you plan on doing this run with all characters if possible? I'll have to sub and see the later runs then
I'll be replacing Eirika in each run so that they have access to convoy for weapons because it would be a little tedious protecting Eirika in certain maps.
I'm leaning towards taking the lower level version of each unit to allow as much growth as possible. And I'll always go Eirika's route since the unit will be replacing Eirika and also it does help for the sake of comparing how each unit does. And yes, I'm planning with every character (if possible of course). Thank you for the sub :)
Well done! 👏👍
Thank you :)
Please do Gilliam and/or Garcia! My two favorites.
Noted my friend!
Do you have an idea for an exception that allows non-attacking units to attempt this? So that Moulder, Natasha, L'Arachel and Tethys can also have a shot
I have a few ideas, and a lot of people have proposed ways to approach it. So, I'm still trying to figure it out.
I wouldn’t dare try this unless it’s with Seth
Yeah, it was a journey for sure! Seth would have made things a lot easier let me tell you!
Nice dodge on chpt 13! Also good call leaving the battle animations on.
Yeah, the swordslayer dodge was huge haha. It would have a lost a little bit of charm and suspense in my opinion.
You know watching this I realize the audacity of them making the Wyrmslayer a basic Sword with a special damage modifier when Wyvern riders/lords/knights specialize in Lances and have higher defense than resistance.
Yeah, when you put it that way it does make it a less interesting weapons than say the dragonspear or Dragon Axe
Would love to see some Path Of Radiance if you're up to it
I love PoR so I would be more than down!
I did an Eirika solo once upon a time and Franz also.
Nice! Hopefully you had fun!
Damn man, I didn't realize how much I missed the old sprite work in FE. Truly a better aesthetic than what's going on with the newest one🤣
I've been enjoying the overall look of Engage and it's character design personally, but there is a certain magic to the old sprites and pixel art of the GBA games that is for sure.
@KratosMVN 100% I don't HATE any of the character designs in engage (besides the MC) some of them are quite good. I think the horrendous writing makes me want to write them all off in general lol. I know alot of people didn't like the amount of dialogue 3 houses has but to me they went to far the other way with this one. I'm enjoying the story in 3 hopes more rn and that's a musou spin off🤣
@Baja Blast that's fair I've had my ups and down with the writing in Engage to be fair. I'm enjoying the main story, but barely any of the support dialogue has been doing it for me. 😂
I wonder if this would be possible in the shadow dragon remake, as that game gets pretty insane near the end! xD
It's an FE game I struggled with the first time I played it. Also doing this on Merciless might be both funny and disgusting 😂
Impossible on hard5. The final boss alone is enough. Even a maxed out Marth can never survive a single round of combat.
@@sebastianlucas704 geez, that sounds like something I'd like to try 😂
When does the "Badge Boost Glitch" come into place in this run? 🤔
😂😂😂
Chapter 14 really...
Your sacrifice has made Eirika spawn in Engage
I did it for the greater good! haha
Hmm... for some reason I find the idea of a Seth solo Run, but with a catch that he always has to be carrying Erika. Knowing how broken he can be I bet he'd still win
That could be an extremely interesting gimmick for sure!
Rip Knoll, he never had a chance.
Poor Knoll, maybe next time haha
When are we getting the KratosMVN run? I would legitimtely help setup a mod that would add a custom you to the game. I'd love to see it.
Yoooo, that would be sick! I would love to do that for sure haha. Could be something fun to do as a meme run!
@@kratosmvn_ Absolutely. Would love to discuss how to do this with you. Got a method for us to get in touch?
My Twitter DMs are always open or else in my channel about section I have my business e-mail. From there if you have discord I'll send you my discord info and we can back and forth from there.
37:01 I would say that an 75% is higher than 70%
I think the point I was making is that the difference isn't big enough to take the chance of missing.
Couldn't you use the enemy control glitch and either teach Eirika D rank dark magic with stone usage to have her use flux or just equip an enemy only weapon like crimson eye?
I could have, but there was a legit way to do it by grabbing a runesword from Valni. Unfortunately I had softlocked myself so there was no way to go back. The enemy control glitch would have wielded the same result as adding in the sword, so I went with the option that would have looked as close to the legit way to do it as possible.
Now let’s see the Seth solo… What do you mean it’s basically the speed run Strat? (He’s so stronk ❤)
I'm also intrigued in seeing how he does! He's on the list! ;)
I'm currently playing through sacred stones and I got awful strength levels for eirika. 7 strength at level 20. She was doing no damage.
Oh my lord, that is a level of unlucky 😳... I'm so sorry for you!
