@@CAPAE thank you for the tip i did not know about this bug Its surprising not a lot of people talk about it especially on this video about hidden things I tried and it worked im on my 3rd playthrough of azure moon aka my 12th playthrough of this game
Got the bow by accident on my first playthrough, though it certainly was strange for the delivery guy to arrive for no apparent reason during the late stages of the battle
@@johnathanedwards9054 So is that one. Look it up and there are plenty of videos of people doing it, albeit you need to use a glitch in order to reach the truck so its not possible for most people.
Bruh, the Bernadetta reference in JP Blue Lions is cool AF. How often is the existence of out-of-House non-Lords even acknowledged during main story cutscenes? That's why seeing Azure Moon story reference a non-Blue Lions character is so surprising.
It would be nice if Lysithea could be acknowledged on other routes when the conversation is about TWSITD, or Petra on Verdant Wind when Claude goes on about trying to bridge nations together, using her as a prime example of how it could be possible. Or hell let Ashe have a speaking roll when fighting Lonato in act 1 if you can recruit him by that point outside of his home route.
@@Steelbleeder Not necessarily. Sylvain will flat out enter the scene if you deny Rhea the lance after you take it from Miklan. He then proceeds to explain that he's, indeed, entitled to the lance.
@@sir.hopper Edelgard does mention Sylvain in the dialogue afterwards were he is not present anymore. Also, Hubert mentions Hilda in Edelgard's paralogue. I think he also remarks if you have recruited certain Blue Lions when inavding the kingdom.
Fun fact, I accidentally OHKO'd nemesis my first playthrough, because I had Felix as a brawler, and I had warped him close to deal with somebody, and as a joke I had him attack nemesis, planning to use divine pulse, but he got 2 crits in a row. I was actually kinda sad because I really like to rout the enemies
This isn't really big, but i never hear anyone mention that exploring the monastery has a sort of time limit while being out The sky turns to sunset before the free time ends
Okay so this is a thing! This has only happened to me on my first playthrough, and while I thought it was odd I didn't think much of it... I've now beaten the game six times and it has never happened again and I thought I just made up the memory.
I don't know if this counts as obscure trivia, but one little minor detail I know many people likely never saw is the unique Jeritza S support as it is the only S support in the game that doesn't happen at Garreg Mach and instead happens in Shambhala meaning it is the only glimpse we are likely ever going to get of Edelgard's continuing war against Those Who Slither in the Dark after the end of Crimson Flower.
He looks like that one douchey nerd in anime whose extremely hot but a know it all. Which is hilarious because that is almost the exact opposite of his personality.
A small piece of trivia I found out just recently is the pixel Byleth in the loading screen can jump if you hit the B button. Not really exciting, but it's easy to overlook.
I actually found the Tathlum Sniper in my first playthrough. But since he was a yellow unit, I assumed he was from the Alliance, and tried to help him escape instead of killing him. I thought it would give me a reward!
I luckily had Annette stay there for the magic attack tower as my other units went onward. I was a little afraid for Annette’s life when that sniper came out of nowhere but luckily it was my turn and I had Annette kill him and steal the bow I had no prier knowledge on.
it’s so funny because i was mainly just progressing through the map and i happened to do exactly what you described. i didn’t want to end the map in one turn with warp and rescue shenanigans like i did the first time i played it so i just progressed normally trying to kill every unit.
I had no idea the Tathlum bow was considered a rare item. I got it on my BL playthrough and just thought the sniper automatically showed up as a scripted event.
The Bernie x Marianne and Hilda x Dorothea makes me VERY sad. Because I have the strange feeling they were going to have support in the game, but probably one of those scraped ideas. Why else give them linked boosts when the other combinations can support?
Reminds me of how you can see units who have no supports talking to each other at the monastery, I always take screenshots of those! My favorite was Mercedes and Dorothea. I think they’d be great friends based on their backgrounds, plus they’re 2 of the students who F Byleth can romance... bi besties
@@AkameGaKillfan777 You would even think characters who do would all be able to hit A. NOPE I love this game, but man did it need to be in the oven a bit longer.
@@Demonboy007 Ingrid and Dorothea only go up to B supports, Lysithea doesn't support with Ferdinand Von *Paralogue that can't be played on Crimson Flower* but she goes up to A with Felix because "lol cake."
Oh, here’s a fun fact that not many people may know about Three Houses I wanted to add: it’s a bit dull because it has to do with support conversations in the game (and this technically isn’t really fun considering who’s involved in it), but after looking at the entire cast for the game, I’ve discovered that Sylvain has the least amount of supports where he has a paired ending with someone: excluding Female Byleth, Ingrid, Felix, Mercedes, and Dorothea are the only people he has a support with that he can have a paired ending with, which is less people who he can have a paired ending with from the entire game than even the DLC characters by both ratio of pairings to non-parings in the support conversations they can have AND by the number of paired endings that are possible. Not fun knowing that you have only 4-5 people you can be paired up with, and one of those people is the playable character that has to be female, and then there’s the fact that even the DLC characters that don’t have many supports themselves have more paired endings than you do in the base game alone. Something else that’s support related is with Seteth and Flayn’s support conversations. Despite Seteth not wanting Flayn to go near any boys in Garreg Mach, the majority of Flayn’s supports are with male characters, excluding Seteth himself, having only one support with someone of the same gender, being Manuela; Manuela herself is someone Seteth himself can be paired up with, as with the majority of his other ones. Similarly, an inverse to Flayn’s majority male supports, Seteth’s are majority female, with his supports with Hanneman and Felix (the latter of who can be paired up with Flayn) being the only two where he talks with people of the same gender as him. That means in a single play through, Seteth, Flayn, Manuela, and Felix could all end up in the same family together and almost all of them can support with each other at some point I hope I was able to intrigue someone out there with this info!
That latter one makes me want to make that happen. I love small things like that. I'm just so attached to AnnettexFelix that I probably wouldn't go for it, but man does that sound fun
I noticed that about Sylvain. I was checking to see if he had an A support with someone (either Annette, Lysithia or Leonie. I forget which.) It's weird that he has so few A supports despite the number of B's he has. Heck, one of his A's is with Felix! I didn't notice about Seteth and Flayn. Weird. Though now that you mentioned it, I recall the supports between those four specifically.
@@cassandradeiler9158 It makes sense actually (the Sylvain part). Most girls aren't going to want to put up with someone like him, and he is actually pretty difficult when it comes to ACTUAL romance. He is extremely cynical so it makes sense that his A supports would be so few
@@YingofDarkness I see it more as a Sylvain's "lot of acquaintances/flings but very few real and lasting connections" kind of thing, which really suits his character. Like, it's his own choice not to form deeper connections, if that makes sense? We see he's outgoing but choses not to form real attachments easily because he doesn't want to show his "real" self (and has the whole "crest baby" trauma thing going on), preferring to adopt the himbo persona because it's easier and more fun. So it makes sense he'll have a lot of B "shallow" interactions, but very few pairing options. And all of them are with characters who have either known him his entire life (Felix, Ingrid), easily saw past his façade because they are very similar at the core (Dorothea), or cared enough to stick by him (Mercedes, Byleth). I don't know, I always thought it adds another layer of depth to his character!
Some trivia that helps me to my 100% NG+ file: You can easily obtain multiple S Supports with Byleth in 1 playthrough by picking the opposite gender of the unit that cannot S Support them (Ex. Female Beresu with Catherine, Shamir, Hilda, etc.) and raise their Support to maximum points even past their A support. When you finish that playthrough, start the next NG+ with the opposite gender, and go to the Journal and support points. You will see that all those characters you did that with can unlock all the way to S Support. Saved me so many playthroughs of needing to marry everyone to see and save their S Supports on one file. NOTE this does not work for units that can share S Support with both genders of Byleth. So the optimal way to go about it is only marry units that can S Support both genders of Byleth, switch gender every playthrough, and unlock every other S Support in the journal until everyone is done.
1:18 Actually, the three weeks in which you clear the "hide and seek" minigame don't have to be in a row. In multiple playthroughs I've been able to get Essar Research Group without having to do the mini-game three weeks in a row, with Mission weeks coming in between them.
Not sure if this was mentioned previously, but if you talk to the warlock in the shadow library during the last month of the school phase (To War) she will give you a free Goddess Icon. This is the only instance of a NPC giving you a free item without a side quest tied to it.
Had no clue about the Dimitri dialogue which pokes fun at Bernadetta in Japanese but that was pretty funny. I had heard of the Essar Research Group's existence but not how you actually get it. I knew the Tathlum Bow because I literally had to look it up because I went heroes relic collecting in all the playthroughs.
I recall reading Marianne will have additional dialogue with Ashe I think if she is taught how to smile. I think Sylvain does that in his support with her? There are way too many supports to remember this all correctly. Its very unheard of for supports to have exchanges carry over to others.
Aww... Why they just don't use for Dimitri's conversation the word "recluse"? It could bring a similar idea. It's kind of sad that piece of dialogue was lost.
Tbh when people actually used Sniper Mercedes, I thought there was no point. So I just kept her as a Bishop that held a Magic Bow+. Now I know that I have something fun to work towards. Thanks Tathlum Bow, very cool.
@@TugaAvenger that’s not really a big deal as promoting her to sniper will automatically raise her strength to a suitable level for her to do good damage. I had an Ignatz that got completely RNG screwed out of strength in a Golden Deer playthrough that this fixed and he ended up becoming a nuke.
Check out the Holy Tomb after Byleth fuses with Sothis. You'll find the other Byleth where Sothis once was. Also. You can get more free items in the Holy Tomb every week like you can outside.
@@YingofDarkness I think you need to scan an amiibo. Any one and you only need to do it once. Then the amiibo gazebo offers random items and access to the Holy Tomb.
I remember finding this by complete accident and just going "WHAT" as I stared my other self down XD I guess that's where he went after I chose the other form?
Elite buffed Nemesis has quite a few obscure mechanics, as the descriptions for his abilities are imprecise. If you hit his mighty king of legend shield with an attack which would deal no damage if it went through, that will not break his shield. If you hit him and break his mighty king of legend shield on enemy phase, he will proc an additional heal at the start of player phase, so if you're not one turning him, it's actually optimal to unequip your weapon against him during enemy phase, so he doesn't get extra healing. Also, when his shield is broken, the red shields orbiting him go away on his map model and combat model, which is a nice touch.
One great part of the Essar research group is its synergy with low auth Mages. I love using Hapi but her auth weakness means she can't use most magic battlions but Essar's have 5 in both atk and a gambit that doesn't require any charm to make use of.
I got the Tathlum Bow on my first Azure Moon playthrough. I thought it was just something that showed up as you progressed on the map! I didn't know about the convoluted steps you had to go through to get it the thief to appear; I just killed everything as I made my way up the map.
Wow, I've got just under six hundred hours in FE3H, most of it maddening, and I had no idea about the paralogue scaling! Glad Hilda and Cyril's doesn't scale though as that's one I've been putting off in my current playthrough haha. Should probably get onto Leonie and Linhardt's quickly though!
I knew the Anna death thing, bonus link stats, and the Nemesis kill but that bow seems cool and I love Bernie so it's great to see her outside of CF/SS
All of a sudden, I want to ship Dimitri with Bernadetta. Seriously, two socially isolated misfits, but coming at it from completely different perspectives? Some fanfic writer must be able to do something good with that. It’s got a bit of a Dimitri/Marianne vibe (a.k.a. The best choice for him when playing as male Byleth).
I was always at A support with the lords early on, so I actually had no idea their dialogues changed depending on support levels at certain points! I love how many dialogue options this game has, I'm always finding out about more! I do know that while Byleth doesn't have any A support specific dialogue with Dimitri, Felix does though. 🤔 It happens all over part 2 after the timeskip, even in some earlier scenes before Rodrigue's death as long as they've reached the ability to unlock A support even before Dimitri's ready to support again. And then Felix's line right before the final assault on the Imperial castle changes too depending on if they have A support or not. This was something I found out after multiple playthroughs of Azure Moon during which one I purposely benched Felix and didn't support him with anyone.
I was thinking, there was evidence that you'd fight some of the blue lions in an azure moon route, so maybe that archer with the tantalum bow could of been the generic replacement for Mercedes
I didn’t actually know about any of these except for the Tathlum Bow existing, the might boost for link strikes between certain characters, and the ability to kill Nemesis earier in the fight than you’re supposed to, and even then, I didn’t know *how* to get the bow, or about the unused link bonuses. Props to Faerghast and the people who suggested some of these, because I really love this game, and consequently, it’s hard to catch me off guard with something I don’t know about it.
I've actually done the Nemesis one myself lol. I was getting bad growths that run but stat boosts are one hell of a drug. Finally landing that blow was quite the moment.
your recent Fe3h videos have rly been big motivators in me continuing my maddening blue lions playthrough. this video was super cool the only thing I actually knew about was the lumine bow.
For me there is thos strange cut content of Felix and Annette being enemies in the Azur moon path Also there is a dialogue in Crimson flower who plays after you defeating Dimitri ; instead of Edelgard sentencing him ; Dedue is recomforting him
Damn, I was in the middle of my second Verdant Wind playthrough, but now I’ve gotta go do another AM to get that bow! Last time I did AM I just bolted straight to Cornelia to get out of there oop-
Dude the Tanthum bow was so fun to use. I did BL playthrough were i decided to train Mercedes as an archer specifically because i knew the Tanthum bow appeared later on. Long story short, Mercedes ended up being MVP for the last for chapters and it wasn't even close.
essar research group is just a perfect battalion to equip to an authority bane/low authority unit while still getting a boost thats as good as a c rank one when its in fact e rank. i find that its perfect for felix who not only does well in both physical and magic which could make use of both +5 offenses, but also since felixs authority bane and his personal skill favors a lack of battalion through a good chunk of the early game, meaning hes bound to get behind when youre gonna wanna actually start giving him some. the perfect battalion to play catch up. im honestly kinda surprised so many people didnt know about the tathlum bow. its pretty easy to get if you play the map as a rout map and advance slowly, and thats just how i play any map, although it does seem to have very strange requirements to get i suppose.
More obscure ones (maybe idk you can tell me if they’re not actually obscure) in Azure moon if you have recruited Bernadetta and you complete her A+ support with Felix where she is asking why Felix is being nice and if something terrible happened, she’ll ask if he had a falling out with an old friend. Another one I have found is if you manage to get Ashe and Dimitri to C support before or during the month you fight Lonato Dimitri says he’ll write Lonato a letter of protest. One last one, in crimson flower, if you manage to kill Dedue before he turns into a monster you will get a drastic change in dialogue after the battle as Dimitri dies.
The only one I had a bunch about was the little girl taking over the shop but I'd never tested it, and I always had an A support so I never noticed the new dialogues. But the recluse reference with Dimitri was my favorite lol
I actually got the Tathlum bow by complete accident on my first Azure Moon playthrough. Never figured out how I got it until this video, so thank you for enlightening me.
I should be mildly scared of that Mercedes, but my Brawler-Dancer Mercie consistently getting 30% crits tells me otherwise. I knew about the Tathlum bow, but god, if that's the easiest/most consistent way to get it I'm not sure if I want to just for something for Mercedes to increase her power further. As for the others beside the Edelgard-Claude special dialogue line, the killing Nemesis without killing the Elites and the stuff to do with difficulty, I knew a bit about them.
On the topic of Byleth’s birthday in Azure Moon, my Byleth’s birthday was set in March, during Chapter 12 and 17. While Gilbert was the letter’s writer, Dimitri could still be the one to gift Byleth the letter and pendant as the game hadn’t accommodated for his vengeful phase. The only showing was cutscene dialogue and monastery exploration interaction. So yes, Dimitri can still write a heartfelt birthday letter to you, despite being fueled by vengeance
I got the Thalum bow on my 1st playthrough and mentioned it to my friends and brother who never got it. On my recent replay, I didn't get it and started to think I made it up because I had no idea who to get it but this answered that question!
Didn't know the A support lines could be missed or the Essar Researchers existed. Also, it baffles me how people can miss the Tathlum Bow Is OR I CAN USE THE WARP STAFF such a common thing to do that they never get the scenario for the Sniper to spawn?
The conditions Ghast lays out here seem rather specific, and level 50 is rather high for that time of the game. Evening on Maddening, Cornelia herself is at level 44 on that map. She doesn't hit 40 below that. So a level 50 sniper seems...hard to kill without proper preparations. Personally I also had no one that could use warp when I did Blue Lions. I didn't recruit any other students, so no Lindhardt or Lysithea, none of the DLC was out yet, so no Hapi, and I just didn't think Manuela was a good unit. Someone else in the comments actually raises a good point: players are more likely to warp someone to immediately kill Cornelia than to this random sniper.
Honestly I never go up that side where the brawler is. I always clear the mage and the titanus on the left, but usually I push up in the middle and kill Cornelia with archers or 5 range mages /shrug
@@jedimasterpickle3 By the time you would have reached the Grappler, you would have already claimed the Fire Orb. Unless you're specifically speedrunning, LTCing, or just trying to beat Cornelia fast in general, it should be hard to miss the conditions (hence why I made the WARP STAFF joke) The only annoying thing would probably be the ambush spawn if you have a squishy mage or low health unit near his range.
God damnit, I just finished a maddening silver snow play through and was ready to take a break for a bit but now I want to do Azure Moon so I can get that bow for the first time
I did discover the Talthum Bow once, but by accident. However, the situation my troops were in meant I was in no position to get it without taking heavy losses, paired with the fact my Mercedes would have never been able to wield it, I let it slip away instead electing to focus on the mission.
On my first playthrough of Fire emblem I apparently met all of the conditions to get that bow, I did not know that was a rare thing, I was so confused when that enemy showed up.
I actually got the Talthum Bow on my first playthrough, I had no idea it was rare! I always make a point to get rid of every enemy on the map even if you don't need to so it triggered naturally for me.
Here's another small obscurity I only stumbled upon recently: during the loading screen, if you press the [B] button the little Byleth will actually jump. It's a small jump, & it doesn't change anything in the game, but it's there.
Honestly the talthum bow is the weirdest thing. I only found it while doing my Mercedes solo run and just killing everything to farm exp. Such a weird thing to include a bow for mercedes thats so hard to find
cant believe i did the tathlem bow by pure accident on my first playtrough and decide i didnt want to pursue the archer and just finish the match instead.. lol
I didn't know about the replacement shopkeeper for Anna, but the girl is present even if Anna is still alive. She's just a trainee apprentice in that case.
Currently running through AM right now and I never would've guessed about the bow. Reminds me of Stephan from Path of Radiance or the old sage in the tunnel from Echoes. Also, I was wondering where I got the Essar group from. I had thrown it on Hapi when I first recruited her and I was wondering why she was doing so much damage and never missed.
For chapter 6, I used alear with a lot of sword avoid, and nil with corrin, so that they could both dodge Rafal's attacks, all in the last place Rafal flies. It was hilarious but also very tedious because that it was my last chance and all the allied units were dead (thx to reinforcement and rafal) . This happened in hard mode, I don't know if it could work in maddening
The funny thing with the bow was that when I first played BL, I never saw that bow but to rerun BL after doing all routes, that one I randomly found the bow and was questioning where this came from.
I got the sniper one without even knowing there were criteria for it! I thought he was a part of the story somehow so I was really confused, but that bow made up for it lol
Funny enough, I'd gotten the Tathlum Bow on my first try in my first AM run completely on accident and didn't realize it was something people easily missed.

This isn't really big, but i never hear anyone mention that exploring the monastery has a sort of time limit while being out

I had that to happen the first time I ever got free time xd
I got it once while talking with my friend and left the game running. It was so cool to see! Definitely an Easter egg I'm glad to have found on my own
That Lamine Sacred bow really interests me. It kinda gives meaning to Mercedes having a bow at the beginning of the game
I remember coming across the Tathlum Bow Sniper in Fhirhiad by complete accident. Good thing I had Marianne on the fire orb to get it quick
I had a sniper Mercedes there when he appeared. Needless to say, it was a nice present for her

I always, always played in handheld mode so it took me a while to realize Pixel Byleth ran in the direction you tilted your controller.
I discovered that early, what i did missed is that you can move that little guy by tilting the switch.
I actually found the Tathlum Sniper in my first playthrough. But since he was a yellow unit, I assumed he was from the Alliance, and tried to help him escape instead of killing him. I thought it would give me a reward!
As a note. I'm not 100% that's the only way to get the Talthum Bow. But I do know that's the most consistent way to get it.
I managed to get the bow by only killing the person on the magic sniper tower so it might be RNG but i'm not sure.
I luckily had Annette stay there for the magic attack tower as my other units went onward. I was a little afraid for Annette’s life when that sniper came out of nowhere but luckily it was my turn and I had Annette kill him and steal the bow I had no prier knowledge on.
The Sniper with it spawned on my first BL Maddening playthrough, but I never figured out why.
I guess "Kill every last one of them" isn't enough
it’s so funny because i was mainly just progressing through the map and i happened to do exactly what you described. i didn’t want to end the map in one turn with warp and rescue shenanigans like i did the first time i played it so i just progressed normally trying to kill every unit.

I had no idea the Tathlum bow was considered a rare item. I got it on my BL playthrough and just thought the sniper automatically showed up as a scripted event.
female war master is a thing on the NPC that replaces hilda in the azure moon map where hilda defends claude

The Bernie x Marianne and Hilda x Dorothea makes me VERY sad. Because I have the strange feeling they were going to have support in the game, but probably one of those scraped ideas. Why else give them linked boosts when the other combinations can support?

I think they’d be great friends based on their backgrounds, plus they’re 2 of the students who F Byleth can romance... bi besties
@@joeyjose727 I see you too are cultured.
You'd think that all characters that have paralogues together would have supports.
NOPE
@@AkameGaKillfan777 You would even think characters who do would all be able to hit A.
NOPE
I love this game, but man did it need to be in the oven a bit longer.
@@Demonboy007 Ingrid and Dorothea only go up to B supports, Lysithea doesn't support with Ferdinand Von *Paralogue that can't be played on Crimson Flower* but she goes up to A with Felix because "lol cake."
Seeing the model of flayn and monica in the chapter where we have to rescue them is preety neat
And they’re so tiny too.
Essar Research group is such a great asset for early maddening runs. Definitely worth. +30 hit and +5 mag/phys damage is great
Oh, here’s a fun fact that not many people may know about Three Houses I wanted to add: it’s a bit dull because it has to do with support conversations in the game (and this technically isn’t really fun considering who’s involved in it), but after looking at the entire cast for the game, I’ve discovered that Sylvain has the least amount of supports where he has a paired ending with someone: excluding Female Byleth, Ingrid, Felix, Mercedes, and Dorothea are the only people he has a support with that he can have a paired ending with, which is less people who he can have a paired ending with from the entire game than even the DLC characters by both ratio of pairings to non-parings in the support conversations they can have AND by the number of paired endings that are possible. Not fun knowing that you have only 4-5 people you can be paired up with, and one of those people is the playable character that has to be female, and then there’s the fact that even the DLC characters that don’t have many supports themselves have more paired endings than you do in the base game alone.
Something else that’s support related is with Seteth and Flayn’s support conversations. Despite Seteth not wanting Flayn to go near any boys in Garreg Mach, the majority of Flayn’s supports are with male characters, excluding Seteth himself, having only one support with someone of the same gender, being Manuela; Manuela herself is someone Seteth himself can be paired up with, as with the majority of his other ones. Similarly, an inverse to Flayn’s majority male supports, Seteth’s are majority female, with his supports with Hanneman and Felix (the latter of who can be paired up with Flayn) being the only two where he talks with people of the same gender as him. That means in a single play through, Seteth, Flayn, Manuela, and Felix could all end up in the same family together and almost all of them can support with each other at some point
I hope I was able to intrigue someone out there with this info!
That latter one makes me want to make that happen. I love small things like that. I'm just so attached to AnnettexFelix that I probably wouldn't go for it, but man does that sound fun
I noticed that about Sylvain. I was checking to see if he had an A support with someone (either Annette, Lysithia or Leonie. I forget which.) It's weird that he has so few A supports despite the number of B's he has. Heck, one of his A's is with Felix!
I didn't notice about Seteth and Flayn. Weird. Though now that you mentioned it, I recall the supports between those four specifically.
@@cassandradeiler9158 It makes sense actually (the Sylvain part). Most girls aren't going to want to put up with someone like him, and he is actually pretty difficult when it comes to ACTUAL romance. He is extremely cynical so it makes sense that his A supports would be so few
@@YingofDarkness I see it more as a Sylvain's "lot of acquaintances/flings but very few real and lasting connections" kind of thing, which really suits his character. Like, it's his own choice not to form deeper connections, if that makes sense? We see he's outgoing but choses not to form real attachments easily because he doesn't want to show his "real" self (and has the whole "crest baby" trauma thing going on), preferring to adopt the himbo persona because it's easier and more fun. So it makes sense he'll have a lot of B "shallow" interactions, but very few pairing options. And all of them are with characters who have either known him his entire life (Felix, Ingrid), easily saw past his façade because they are very similar at the core (Dorothea), or cared enough to stick by him (Mercedes, Byleth). I don't know, I always thought it adds another layer of depth to his character!
Some trivia that helps me to my 100% NG+ file:
You can easily obtain multiple S Supports with Byleth in 1 playthrough by picking the opposite gender of the unit that cannot S Support them (Ex. Female Beresu with Catherine, Shamir, Hilda, etc.) and raise their Support to maximum points even past their A support.
When you finish that playthrough, start the next NG+ with the opposite gender, and go to the Journal and support points. You will see that all those characters you did that with can unlock all the way to S Support. Saved me so many playthroughs of needing to marry everyone to see and save their S Supports on one file.
NOTE this does not work for units that can share S Support with both genders of Byleth. So the optimal way to go about it is only marry units that can S Support both genders of Byleth, switch gender every playthrough, and unlock every other S Support in the journal until everyone is done.
Yeah this happened to me on accident once, I finished my run then next playthrough I have Lorenz, Ignatz and Raphael all unlocked
Harem Route
1:18 Actually, the three weeks in which you clear the "hide and seek" minigame don't have to be in a row. In multiple playthroughs I've been able to get Essar Research Group without having to do the mini-game three weeks in a row, with Mission weeks coming in between them.
Not sure if this was mentioned previously, but if you talk to the warlock in the shadow library during the last month of the school phase (To War) she will give you a free Goddess Icon. This is the only instance of a NPC giving you a free item without a side quest tied to it.
Had no clue about the Dimitri dialogue which pokes fun at Bernadetta in Japanese but that was pretty funny. I had heard of the Essar Research Group's existence but not how you actually get it. I knew the Tathlum Bow because I literally had to look it up because I went heroes relic collecting in all the playthroughs.
That sniper in Fhirdiad? I though he just randomly spawned after enough turns had passed. Can't believe I met those requirements on pure luck.
I recall reading Marianne will have additional dialogue with Ashe I think if she is taught how to smile. I think Sylvain does that in his support with her?
There are way too many supports to remember this all correctly. Its very unheard of for supports to have exchanges carry over to others.
I was heartbroken when I got a birthday gift from Gilbert of all people in my first playthrough, but now I know why!
Ikr, now I want to change my birthday and replay it or at least google the next letter because I want proper birthday greetings!
@@totallynotafanficreader7850LMMAO, you are a simp with no purpose
Also if Anette and Gilbert have a A support in their paralogue the pre-battle dialogue change
That strat with Lysithea to one shot Nemesis was just how I did it on my first playthrough I had no idea I was cheesing him lmao
Aww... Why they just don't use for Dimitri's conversation the word "recluse"? It could bring a similar idea.
It's kind of sad that piece of dialogue was lost.
Tbh when people actually used Sniper Mercedes, I thought there was no point. So I just kept her as a Bishop that held a Magic Bow+. Now I know that I have something fun to work towards. Thanks Tathlum Bow, very cool.
I hate to disappoint, but it's not that great. You'd expect it to be a magical bow, but it isn't. It's a glorified silver bow with health regen :/
@@TugaAvenger this game sucks
@@TugaAvenger that’s not really a big deal as promoting her to sniper will automatically raise her strength to a suitable level for her to do good damage. I had an Ignatz that got completely RNG screwed out of strength in a Golden Deer playthrough that this fixed and he ended up becoming a nuke.
Check out the Holy Tomb after Byleth fuses with Sothis. You'll find the other Byleth where Sothis once was. Also. You can get more free items in the Holy Tomb every week like you can outside.
How do you get into the Holy Tomb? I've played all the routes and always thought that was hacking
@@YingofDarkness I think you need to scan an amiibo. Any one and you only need to do it once. Then the amiibo gazebo offers random items and access to the Holy Tomb.
@@medusianAllure Ah, that explains it. I never scan Amiibo in any of the games so I would have never found it. Thank you!
I remember finding this by complete accident and just going "WHAT" as I stared my other self down XD I guess that's where he went after I chose the other form?
Elite buffed Nemesis has quite a few obscure mechanics, as the descriptions for his abilities are imprecise. If you hit his mighty king of legend shield with an attack which would deal no damage if it went through, that will not break his shield. If you hit him and break his mighty king of legend shield on enemy phase, he will proc an additional heal at the start of player phase, so if you're not one turning him, it's actually optimal to unequip your weapon against him during enemy phase, so he doesn't get extra healing. Also, when his shield is broken, the red shields orbiting him go away on his map model and combat model, which is a nice touch.
One great part of the Essar research group is its synergy with low auth Mages. I love using Hapi but her auth weakness means she can't use most magic battlions but Essar's have 5 in both atk and a gambit that doesn't require any charm to make use of.
I got the Tathlum Bow on my first Azure Moon playthrough. I thought it was just something that showed up as you progressed on the map! I didn't know about the convoluted steps you had to go through to get it the thief to appear; I just killed everything as I made my way up the map.
Wow, I've got just under six hundred hours in FE3H, most of it maddening, and I had no idea about the paralogue scaling! Glad Hilda and Cyril's doesn't scale though as that's one I've been putting off in my current playthrough haha. Should probably get onto Leonie and Linhardt's quickly though!
I knew the Anna death thing, bonus link stats, and the Nemesis kill but that bow seems cool and I love Bernie so it's great to see her outside of CF/SS
All of a sudden, I want to ship Dimitri with Bernadetta. Seriously, two socially isolated misfits, but coming at it from completely different perspectives? Some fanfic writer must be able to do something good with that. It’s got a bit of a Dimitri/Marianne vibe (a.k.a. The best choice for him when playing as male Byleth).
Aymr having the crest of he beast on it
Nemesis having the two DLC crests on his dark sword of the creator.
I was always at A support with the lords early on, so I actually had no idea their dialogues changed depending on support levels at certain points! I love how many dialogue options this game has, I'm always finding out about more!
I do know that while Byleth doesn't have any A support specific dialogue with Dimitri, Felix does though. 🤔 It happens all over part 2 after the timeskip, even in some earlier scenes before Rodrigue's death as long as they've reached the ability to unlock A support even before Dimitri's ready to support again. And then Felix's line right before the final assault on the Imperial castle changes too depending on if they have A support or not. This was something I found out after multiple playthroughs of Azure Moon during which one I purposely benched Felix and didn't support him with anyone.
Thanks for vids faerghast, your content about fire emblem makes me very joyful and its very informative. Amazing work.
I was thinking, there was evidence that you'd fight some of the blue lions in an azure moon route, so maybe that archer with the tantalum bow could of been the generic replacement for Mercedes
I didn’t actually know about any of these except for the Tathlum Bow existing, the might boost for link strikes between certain characters, and the ability to kill Nemesis earier in the fight than you’re supposed to, and even then, I didn’t know *how* to get the bow, or about the unused link bonuses. Props to Faerghast and the people who suggested some of these, because I really love this game, and consequently, it’s hard to catch me off guard with something I don’t know about it.
I've actually done the Nemesis one myself lol. I was getting bad growths that run but stat boosts are one hell of a drug. Finally landing that blow was quite the moment.
The A-rank Edel dialogue just makes me feel bad for Hubert, all that simping... gone to waste...
he's gonna go aelfric mode
your recent Fe3h videos have rly been big motivators in me continuing my maddening blue lions playthrough. this video was super cool the only thing I actually knew about was the lumine bow.
That JP dialogue would have felt so rewarding knowing I picked Blue Lions in my first playthrough and also recruited Bernadetta.
5:01
Only time I've ever heard those words..
I always thought lysithea was a monster but wow, the essar research group and the Dimitri one was surprisingly quippy for him
Cool video man! Was a little surprised to see linked attacks in here being that jeralt explains them in the first battle.
The Bernadetta one was news to me. Also didn't know the Bow was so hard to get! I stumbled into that one.
For me there is thos strange cut content of Felix and Annette being enemies in the Azur moon path
Also there is a dialogue in Crimson flower who plays after you defeating Dimitri ; instead of Edelgard sentencing him ; Dedue is recomforting him
Damn, I was in the middle of my second Verdant Wind playthrough, but now I’ve gotta go do another AM to get that bow! Last time I did AM I just bolted straight to Cornelia to get out of there oop-
Dude the Tanthum bow was so fun to use. I did BL playthrough were i decided to train Mercedes as an archer specifically because i knew the Tanthum bow appeared later on. Long story short, Mercedes ended up being MVP for the last for chapters and it wasn't even close.
Damn, I didn’t know the Tathlum Bow was that specific. Miraculously, I happened to check off all the requirements by accident.
Hilda can be found in Felix's room in the church route (Part 2: Chapter 20), and Felix outside of Hilda's room (Part 1: Chapter 5) 🤔
Are you sure she is not in her own room?
@@Ninjaananas 100%
essar research group is just a perfect battalion to equip to an authority bane/low authority unit while still getting a boost thats as good as a c rank one when its in fact e rank. i find that its perfect for felix who not only does well in both physical and magic which could make use of both +5 offenses, but also since felixs authority bane and his personal skill favors a lack of battalion through a good chunk of the early game, meaning hes bound to get behind when youre gonna wanna actually start giving him some. the perfect battalion to play catch up.
im honestly kinda surprised so many people didnt know about the tathlum bow. its pretty easy to get if you play the map as a rout map and advance slowly, and thats just how i play any map, although it does seem to have very strange requirements to get i suppose.
More obscure ones (maybe idk you can tell me if they’re not actually obscure) in Azure moon if you have recruited Bernadetta and you complete her A+ support with Felix where she is asking why Felix is being nice and if something terrible happened, she’ll ask if he had a falling out with an old friend. Another one I have found is if you manage to get Ashe and Dimitri to C support before or during the month you fight Lonato Dimitri says he’ll write Lonato a letter of protest. One last one, in crimson flower, if you manage to kill Dedue before he turns into a monster you will get a drastic change in dialogue after the battle as Dimitri dies.
The only one I had a bunch about was the little girl taking over the shop but I'd never tested it, and I always had an A support so I never noticed the new dialogues. But the recluse reference with Dimitri was my favorite lol
I always knew about that bow after absolutely accidentally triggering it on some of my early playthroughs. Nice
I didn't know those lines were exclusive to having A support, though I had heard them every time I played through.
I actually got the Tathlum bow by complete accident on my first Azure Moon playthrough. Never figured out how I got it until this video, so thank you for enlightening me.
I should be mildly scared of that Mercedes, but my Brawler-Dancer Mercie consistently getting 30% crits tells me otherwise.
I knew about the Tathlum bow, but god, if that's the easiest/most consistent way to get it I'm not sure if I want to just for something for Mercedes to increase her power further.
As for the others beside the Edelgard-Claude special dialogue line, the killing Nemesis without killing the Elites and the stuff to do with difficulty, I knew a bit about them.
On the topic of Byleth’s birthday in Azure Moon, my Byleth’s birthday was set in March, during Chapter 12 and 17. While Gilbert was the letter’s writer, Dimitri could still be the one to gift Byleth the letter and pendant as the game hadn’t accommodated for his vengeful phase. The only showing was cutscene dialogue and monastery exploration interaction.
So yes, Dimitri can still write a heartfelt birthday letter to you, despite being fueled by vengeance
I got the Gilbert birthday present, and now I'm offended that Dimitri just had to be pout-y during my birthday month.
i have 570 hours in this game and have played all routes almost twice, but i didn't know about most stuff here!!! great job!
9:39 That troll face lol.
Watching as fast as it appears! Need to help with the alghorytm
I got the Thalum bow on my 1st playthrough and mentioned it to my friends and brother who never got it. On my recent replay, I didn't get it and started to think I made it up because I had no idea who to get it but this answered that question!
Warrior Mercedes isn't real. She can't hurt you.
Warrior Mercedes: "Does this look like the face of Mercie?"
I'd rather people ignore my birthday than get a birthday card from Gilbert.
Didn't know the A support lines could be missed or the Essar Researchers existed.
Also, it baffles me how people can miss the Tathlum Bow
Is OR I CAN USE THE WARP STAFF such a common thing to do that they never get the scenario for the Sniper to spawn?
The conditions Ghast lays out here seem rather specific, and level 50 is rather high for that time of the game. Evening on Maddening, Cornelia herself is at level 44 on that map. She doesn't hit 40 below that. So a level 50 sniper seems...hard to kill without proper preparations. Personally I also had no one that could use warp when I did Blue Lions. I didn't recruit any other students, so no Lindhardt or Lysithea, none of the DLC was out yet, so no Hapi, and I just didn't think Manuela was a good unit.
Someone else in the comments actually raises a good point: players are more likely to warp someone to immediately kill Cornelia than to this random sniper.
Honestly I never go up that side where the brawler is. I always clear the mage and the titanus on the left, but usually I push up in the middle and kill Cornelia with archers or 5 range mages /shrug
@@jedimasterpickle3
By the time you would have reached the Grappler, you would have already claimed the Fire Orb.
Unless you're specifically speedrunning, LTCing, or just trying to beat Cornelia fast in general, it should be hard to miss the conditions (hence why I made the WARP STAFF joke)
The only annoying thing would probably be the ambush spawn if you have a squishy mage or low health unit near his range.
Well, the very specific area you're required to put an unit into can be easily avoided by luring the Grappler that stands on it.
@@moltz4866 I guess so.
Guess I'm just a bit more of a player phase type of guy
God damnit, I just finished a maddening silver snow play through and was ready to take a break for a bit but now I want to do Azure Moon so I can get that bow for the first time
I did discover the Talthum Bow once, but by accident. However, the situation my troops were in meant I was in no position to get it without taking heavy losses, paired with the fact my Mercedes would have never been able to wield it, I let it slip away instead electing to focus on the mission.
On my first playthrough of Fire emblem I apparently met all of the conditions to get that bow, I did not know that was a rare thing, I was so confused when that enemy showed up.
I knew about the Tathlum Bow. I actually got it on my first playthrough. But I didn't know any of the others, though. Thanks!
Honestly I had no idea about the Talthum bow, simply because it's so easy to beat that map in a single turn
The only one I didn't know about on this list was the line referencing Bernadetta
I actually got the Talthum Bow on my first playthrough, I had no idea it was rare! I always make a point to get rid of every enemy on the map even if you don't need to so it triggered naturally for me.
Here's another small obscurity I only stumbled upon recently: during the loading screen, if you press the [B] button the little Byleth will actually jump. It's a small jump, & it doesn't change anything in the game, but it's there.
If you don't do Dedue's paralogue in Azure Moon pre-timeskip, he dies in between the time skip.
Honestly the talthum bow is the weirdest thing. I only found it while doing my Mercedes solo run and just killing everything to farm exp. Such a weird thing to include a bow for mercedes thats so hard to find
That bow is so convoluted in the way you get it it would make Stefan blush
cant believe i did the tathlem bow by pure accident on my first playtrough and decide i didnt want to pursue the archer and just finish the match instead.. lol
I have no idea what series of moves got me there, but I obtained the Tathlum Bow blind first try. Honestly thought is just came up automatically
I didn't know about the replacement shopkeeper for Anna, but the girl is present even if Anna is still alive. She's just a trainee apprentice in that case.
I actually got the Tatlum bow on complete accident and Never used it. What a weird weapon location
Currently running through AM right now and I never would've guessed about the bow. Reminds me of Stephan from Path of Radiance or the old sage in the tunnel from Echoes. Also, I was wondering where I got the Essar group from. I had thrown it on Hapi when I first recruited her and I was wondering why she was doing so much damage and never missed.
The only one I knew was Hegemon Edelgard's fireball accuracy increasing with difficulty. Quite interesting!
For chapter 6, I used alear with a lot of sword avoid, and nil with corrin, so that they could both dodge Rafal's attacks, all in the last place Rafal flies. It was hilarious but also very tedious because that it was my last chance and all the allied units were dead (thx to reinforcement and rafal) . This happened in hard mode, I don't know if it could work in maddening
Wow, I didn't know about that bow. I'll have to try to get it.
I knew the bow existed because an enemy has it in a different chapter on maddening but I didn’t know how to obtain it. Thanks for the tips.
The funny thing with the bow was that when I first played BL, I never saw that bow but to rerun BL after doing all routes, that one I randomly found the bow and was questioning where this came from.
Wow, I'm shocked how different Dimitri's voice is in JP. Sounds way more generic than the EN one.
I watched the Japanese Flame Emperor reveal CG, and it doesn't even come close to Chris Hackney.
I got the sniper one without even knowing there were criteria for it! I thought he was a part of the story somehow so I was really confused, but that bow made up for it lol
I’m guilty as well with 4.5 hundred hours of gameplay and not bothering with any Online Laison
1,540 hours here
Funny enough, I'd gotten the Tathlum Bow on my first try in my first AM run completely on accident and didn't realize it was something people easily missed.
I didn’t know about the bow but accidentally completed all of the steps for it on my only run of Azure Moon
I got that sniper bow completely off n accident on my first azure moon run I would’ve never guessed it was a special requirement soawn
I got that research group probably as early as possible on my first playthough. I used it pretty consistently on my first playthough
I also had the birthday thing and just thought that it was normal, nothing soecial
