ABOUT FIRE EMBLEM: SEIMA NO KOUSEKI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki is the third portable Fire Emblem game on
Game Boy Advance. Unlike the previous two, this one takes place on a brand
new continent called Magi Val, which was populated by evil monsters. Men
once sealed the evil forces using the five Holy Jewels, which later became
heirlooms to the five different royal families. The game starts out with the
Empire of Grado conquering the Kingdom of Renais. Unfortunately, the crown
prince, Ephraim, was away and knowing that he would not stand much chance
against the Imperial army, King Fado ordered the loyal Seth to escort
Princess Eirika and seek help from the the neighboring Kingdom of Frelia.
  Henceforth you could start gathering new characters to improve you 
fighting force. Despite starting the game as Eirika, you would later be
reunited with your twin brother and then be given the choice to choose your
own main Lord between the two. The following chapters would then be
different depending on your choice. You would then begin on your quest to
pay visit to the many countries of Magi Val and gather allies in order to
defeat the villain who unleashed this unspeakable power of darkness in the
first place.
  The game boasts sub-maps and a class change system that allows the player
to select a class to upgrade to. It also beefs up level-building capability.
Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki has a gameplay engine reminscing that of Fire
Emblem: Gaiden.
  Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki was scored by Saki Haruyama, Yoshihiko
Kitamura, and Yoshito Hirano, and under the supervision of Yuka Tsujiyoko.

   Tsurugi, FE7 Blazing Sword), especially FE7 Blazing Sword!

   They're eternal games. Just play them, you won't be disappointed! 

2] I've written this FAQ by my personal experience. It's not the best way!

============================\
4/ GENERAL STRATEGY  [STR]   \==============================================
============================================================================

* Watch the opening of this game for more info about Classes (JP version).

* Watch all conversations, all events!

* Try to recruit all playable chars, n' also LvUp them! One important thing:
  you can't use all of them. Therefore, just focus on your favourite chars!
  Besides, don't let anyone die.

* Protect your Main Chars carefully. If one of them dies, the game will
  over, n' you'll replay from the beginning!

* Keep flying units away from bows!

* You'll have a good chance to train your army, it's a Tower or a Ruins.
  After recruited a new char, you should go back there to train him (her).

* Arena is a good chance to LvUp your army as well. However, don't overuse
  it. You can win or loose quickly. Check it yourself.

* In the battle:
  - DON'T UNDERRATE YOUR ENEMIES!
  - Check enemy movement carefully. Check n' heal your HP frequently!
  - Open the Mini Map frequently.
  - Use the wpn w/ HIGH ACCURACY n' LIGHT WEIGHT. Also, remember the
    "Weapon Triangles" formula hence
    o----------------------------o
    | Sword strong against Axe   |
    | Axe strong against Spear   |
    | Spear strong against Sword |
    |----------------------------|
    | Anima strong against Light |
    | Light strong against Dark  |
    | Dark strong against Anima  |
    o----------------------------o
     However, the "Reaver" weapons reverse this formula. E.g: the AxeReaver
     lance is strong against Axes but weak against Swords.
  - Use all profitable elements (terrain, support, special effects...) to
    make the battle become easier.
  - If you want the stats of char increase better, let enemy atk him/her
    first. HOWEVER, BE CAREFUL W/ THIS STRATEGY, N' DON'T OVERUSE IT!
  - Try to steal all valuable items from enemies.
  - Just complete the current mission.

  It's originally a hand axe you can get but if the berserker attacks you
  with a hand axe the dragon axe is what you get. Before the chapter starts
  look at the berserker and you will see the hand axe is originally green.

------------
4] Strategy:
------------
- Move to the southwest quickly n' fight carefully. Stay out off atk range
  off all Dragon Knights! You can let Cormag kill some off them. CHECK N'
  HEAL YOUR HP FREQUENTLY!
  (If you want, go left a bit n' kill some Caellach's troops, then go down)
- Turn 2, Ephraim will appear at (E), also 2 Pegasus Knights appear from the
  northeast.
- Turn 4 n' 5, more enemies appear from the north (Pegasus Knights) n' from
  the forts (F) (Cavaliers).
- Gather all your team at (E). After that, erase Valter's team!
 + About his team: Nothing, but be careful. Use anti-horse wpns to erase
   them all. The shaman has a Guiding Ring. Steal it. Try to kill all
   Dragon Knights first!
 + About Valter: He can be defeated easily by using the Dragon Spear. 
   However, be careful w/ his Pierce Skill! Let Cormag do it to revenge
   for Glen - his brother. 
- After that, find all hidden itms.
- Turn 8, more enemes appear at (x). Turn 8 n' 9, 4 Shamans appear from the
  north. Take care of them.
- Next, go up to eliminate Caellach's team. 
 + About his team: No problem. Kill them first.
 + About Caellach: Be careful, he's more dangerous than Valter. Let Saleh
   weaken him, then finish him by using Joshua (to revenge for his mother).

  There is an easier way to beat Caellach and Valter. For Valter, steal the
  shield and shower him with arrows. Caellach, steal his guard and use a
  Killing Edge with Joshua (hopefully Swordmaster). Each of them should go
  down in a matter of turns.

--> My remark: GREAT!

5] Hidden items:

4] Strategy:
------------
* My tip: This is the best chance to LvUp Myrrh! LET ONLY HER CLEAR ALL THE
  MAP! Give her some Plus Itms: Swiftsole, SpeedWing, Goddess Icon. To use
  her effectively, just read the "Secrets" part below.  
  However, just do as you want. My way is not the best way!

- Let Myrrh go right n' erase some enemies nearby. 
- Turn 5, 4 Cavaliers n' 5 Great Knights appear at (x). Take care of them!
  N' a thief appear at the northwest. Ignore him.
- After that, go up n' clear everything on your way!
- 2 Sages (P) have Purges. Be careful, unless you're using Myrrh.
- Gather your team at (A). You should eliminate 2 Priests first, because
  they'll refill HP for Orson or others.
- Finally, finish Orson n' seize the throne.

[#] After this map, you'll receive some wpns n' itms for Eirika n' Ephraim.
    See "Chapter 16 Ep" below!

- S: Secret Shop       - [ ]: locked doors 

----------------------
2] New characters (1): turn 2
----------------------
- Rennac: Let Ephraim or L'Arachel (recommended) talk to him.
 * Conversations / Conditions / Effects

- (2): Halberd       - (4): Angelic Robe  
  In NA version, (2) is 10000G.

* Spoil: Knight Crest, Red Gem, Sleep Wand, 4 Door Keys, Chest Key, 
         Long Bow, SwdReaver.
  In NA version, you can get Shine, ArmorSlayer n' Hammer more.

------------
4] Strategy:
------------
- THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST MAPS! BE PATIENT N' CAREFUL!
- Gather your team at (A), then defend!
- Turn 2, Rennac will appear n' steal a Spear in chest (5). Ignore him.
  Also, some enemies appear at (->) n' (<-).
- Turn 3 n' 4, they appear again. Wait n' kill them all if you want.
- After that, go up quickly, open the door, kill the bishop - who has a
  Silence Wand - n' clear all enemies nearby. Recruit Rennac (if not, he'll
  escape later). HE HAS A MEMBER CARD!
- Be careful w/ 2 Druid (K), they have Berserk Wands! IF ANY CHAR IS
  INFECTED, LET NATASHA RESTORES AT ONCE! Go left, erase all, open the door
  n' kill them ASAP!
- Turn 7, 8 n' 9 some enemies appear: 2 Mages at (>), 2 Shamans at (<).
  Take care of them.
- Now, get all itms before you defeat Vigarde. 4 Shamans will appear at (x)
  in 2 turn, if you've killed the first Shaman there.
- Don't miss the Secret Shop. Buy 2 Purges, 2 Bolting.
- The last target is Vigarde. HE'S A HARD-TO-KILL OPPONENT. Sometimes he'll
  use the Great Shield Skill! BE CAREFUL, let Ephraim finish him.
- Finally, seize the throne.

  I found it easier to gather my team above group 2 to intercept Rennac
  before he gets to the second chest and stairs. If you do it my way the
  strategy is pretty much the same, kill things as you go up and then kill
  more things and recruit Rennac.

|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
| Contributed by Matt Eilers |
|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
  First, kill all enemies outside the throne room. When you reach the
  hallway outside the Inanimate Vigarde, pick someone slow, like Gilliam,
  and pick someone who can travel great distances quickly, such as Cormag.
  Keep all your other troops in the top corners. The druids behind the wall
  will try n' hit you with berserk, so keep Cormag back. IF they hit Gilliam
  (they have a slow chance, about 17%) then run Cormag around the castle.
  Gilliam will chase him, and by the time the spell wears off, you can go
  back and repeat until both wands break. They can only be used three times
  each. Then go through the gates, kill the shaman and the druids, then use
  "hit and run" tactics to get away from Vigarde. Run someone into combat
  and have them hit. Have someone with a high con. Rescue him or her. Send
  someone else just as strong with lots of health do the same. Repeat for as
  many characters who can rescue as you can. Beware! Vigarde CAN throw his
  spear, so watch out for Neimi.

[#] After this map, you'll receive 2 S class wpns: Gleipnir n' Garm.
    Knoll will join your team!

 + 2 Mercenaries, 2 Druids, 2 Generals at the south entrance.
   2 SwdMasters, 1 Hero at the south.
 + 2 Fighters at the southeast.

- Let your strongest chars block 2 main entrances, n' some chars (healers
  n' long-range atk chars) around. DEFEND ONLY!

* My tip: place Ephraim, Myrrh, Eirika, Joshua, Saleh, Natasha, Innes,
  L'Arachel, Vanessa, Tana at the south entrance. Others at the north. Let
  Rennac n' Colm get all itms.

- CHECK N' HEAL YOUR HP FREQUENTLY!

Enemy reinforcements:
----------------------
 + 2 SwdMasters n' 1 Great Knight from E2 in turn 2-8!

  nearby. Then stay at the entrance. Get all itms as well.
- Next, light the southwest area again. Riev is there.
- Finally, defeat him ASAP. He's not a strong opponent.

------------
2] Strategy:
------------
- All enemies are monsters (except Riev)!
- Reach to the castle ASAP. IF NOT, YOU'LL ENCOUNTER W/ A TON OF MONSTERS!
- Watch 1 ArchBigl n' 3 Gorgons at (x). Be careful w/ their black magic.
  Kill them ASAP! IF ANY CHAR IS INFECTED, RESTORES AT ONCE!
- Go up, left, down, left. Clear all enemies on your way. After that, gather
  your team at (A).
- Move up quickly, defeat Riev first.
- The last target is Morva. Myrrh can finish him easily, but make sure her
  Max HP is over 40!
- Finally, seize the castle.

* About your enemies, they'll appear from different locations:
 + 2 Cyclops: from (C) in turn 2, 3, 4

 + 3 Baels: from the west in turn 20
 ...
 That's enough. Just ignore this problem!

  Here's a tip for easily beating Morva in Chapther 20 in the NA version.
  Firstly, in Chapter 16 "Ruled By Madness" there is a Monk who drops Divine
  when killed, but also has a Purge in his inventory. If you move 1 step away
  from him, he will use divine on you. Kill him and he should drop Purge.
  Use the Purge in Chapter 20 with a Bishop to kill Morva in 2-3 hits.

 N/A

--------------
<< Strategy >>
--------------
- Move up n' stay out of Fomortiis's atk range!
- Turn 2, he'll summon some monsters. Wait n' kill them all.
- Finally, defeat him. 3 ways:
 + Weaken him w/ Excalibur, Nidhogg n' Ivaldi. Then finish him.
  NOTE: FOR JP VERSION ONLY!
 + Myrrh can defeat him in one blow if she performs CRT atk!
 + Use the char w/ high Res n' HP!

|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
| Contributed by bkam4 |
|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
  This is another way to defeat the Demon King: Cut his HP in half with
  Eclipse, use Hammerne to restore Eclipse to its normal condition if
  necessary, then when his HP is cut down, use Myrrh and the Nidhogg to
  take down the rest of his HP.

--> My remark: Be careful, the accuracy of Eclipse is very low!

  First you destroy the monsters he summons (you can leave the Draco
  Zombies. Just stay out of their range.)
  Put Erikia at the farthest part of the DK's Attack range (the closest
  place at which you can be without being attacked).
  Move Seth opposite this, move Erikia Up and let her attack (she could
  survive, and be able to attack twice. After this let Seth move up, rescue
  her and go back. Then heal her up to full health. Repeat.

 CONGRATULATIONS! You've finish the game.
 Not so hard, right?

--- APPENDIX: Tower n' Ruins ---  [APX]
============================================================================

 Q: Why should I enter there?
 A: First, to LvUp your chars. This is a best chance.
    Second, to recruit Secret Chars (in Extra Mode).
    To get good Items and Gold (~ Contributed by bkam4 ~)
 Q: Other effects?    
 A: Maybe. I'll list them here if I find more.

MISSION
~~~~~~~~
Kill all monsters!

STRATEGY
~~~~~~~~~
* FIRST, JUST DETERMINE YOUR PURPOSE: TO LVUP YOUR TEAM OR TO GET SECRET
CHARS!

- ALWAYS PREVIEW YOUR MISSIONS!
- Bring the chars whom you want to LvUp.
- All enemies are monsters! Therefore, Bishops n' Light Magic are your best
  choices here!
- Try to get all valuable chests (1,2,3...). HOWEVER, THEY'RE RANDOM ITMS!
- About the spoils: THEY'RE RANDOM ITMS as well. Self-check is the best way.
- Check n' heal your HP carefully.
- Iron n' Steel Wpns are your main wpns. However, just bring some superior
  wpns (Silver, Killer, Brave, Legendary) as well - ESPECIALLY 10th Ruins!
  Bring as much as you can!
  Basic weapons are all that is needed in most cases and you can level up
  multiple characters at a time (~ Contributed by Andrew Dingler ~)
- KILL ALL ARCHERS, FLYERS N' MAGICAL MONSTERS FIRST!

ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- VALNI TOWER: Easy/Normal. Don't worry.
  Finish it first to get some Secret Chars, ESPECIALLY Riev!
- LAGDOU RUINS: HARD/VERY HARD!!! Bring all your strongest chars, n' 
  superior wpns as much as you can! Bishops n' Summoners (create Phantom as
  much as possible) are your best choices!

* NOTE: 
~~~~~~~
 As I said, this map is HARD, VERY HARD! All monsters here are promoted
 classes! There are some tips:

1] If you want to LvUp your team (Story Mode):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Do as you like, n' you can exit whenever!

2] If you want to get Secret Chars:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Bring ALL YOUR BISHOPS: Artur, Natasha, Moulder, Riev. Equip some Purges,
  Fortify n' Restore Wands!  
- Equip superior wpns (Brave, Silver, Killer...) as much as you can.
- Bring all your strongest chars! 
- Try to kill all Gorgons n' ArchBigls first!
