FE: Shackled Power - Chapter 25 (Endgame 1)

3-in-1 chapter. Starting at the rest area where the party can visit the 3 trials, the party will be back after each trial, similar to The Last Promise's constellation postgame.
The left trial is to rout within 10 turns, the one that I like the most because there aren't any reinforcements, pretty straightforward.
The middle trial is to seize the gate, also to protect the pillar from enemies. Obviously this one has reinforcements, not only that, the flying ones are difficult to reach, and you might have to bait them. There's a major glitch where your characters can potentially have unlimited actions.
The right trial is to hit the 4 switches, the only thing to note is the boss being able to move twice. Also, the reinforcements coming from the bottom that has items which require either prior knowledge or by coincidence. I would have missed a statbooster if I didn't field Kassandra.

Eileen and Rita Convo is so sad to hear in this Pt 1 endgame. At least Rita apologized to her about the past.

[@A_Person_64]

We're in the endgame! (Which means this hack is ending on Saturday unless Endgame 2 and 3 get compounded into 1 video for tomorrow, Friday) Wow, Rita managed to be in the 13th slot to get undeployed in the hub. At least they finally made up now. Birgitta really "watch yo tone"'d Marilyn. Birgitta being able to do the glowy eyes on command is scary considering she's in full control. Once again, spawn portraits are very creepy and the things they say as well upon initiating combat. The boss theme sounds like its custom and closer to the FE8 Soundfont. Their reactions upon death range from Sicilis being angry at being made one, Mirales realizing he wasted his life and Duking not really caring much. Also, there are some spawns that are...semi generic? They don't have portraits, but their description and inventory match previous bosses. For example, the trial that looks like the Academy has spawns of the bosses from there (except the Ranger, guess Birgitta didn't care enough to revive him) iirc the spawns that don't have void curse are the ones that clue you into who they are (as well as the inventory and description). In the Sicilis trial, the twin generals from 14x, Mage Knight from 17x and Chapter 2 Knight are there. Dark trial has the Ch5 Wyvern Rider, Ch7 Lieutenant, Ch18 Halberdier and Ch21 Sniper. Duking as a spawn surprisingly has a more...normal looking head/face ratio? Romhack creator says Madari/Evans are simply friends who regularly get into adventures like this and there's nothing really romantic about them.

Ranger comes as reinforcement, that has a speedwing on it. All 4 bosses from that chapter are present

So like, are we gonna talk about how Marilyn got smacked into a solid brick wall and didn't seem anything other than mildly inconvenienced by that but the _wall crumbled_ from her impact. No wonder she survived getting pounded by Prosel with only broken ribs :0 Kinda funny that Brigitta just completely ignored her before cutting her off with the smack tho, imo I also appreciate the reminder that sacred and otherwise powerful tomes are still, y'know, tomes. Books that are susceptible to things like falling into a lake and becoming unreadable cause someone fumbled. I do wonder what exactly is in them, though, and how long it takes to fill one out And of course, the Morph Method of the people coming to their senses as they die is a nice touch, and Mirales even realized that his simping was a fool's errand and all for nothing :D

[@chrosairs7057]

Marilyn was in luck, that wall was hollow. That Mirales bit was just sad though.

[@nerothewateruser8030]

@@chrosairs7057 I thought so too, about the wall thing, but there are very few walls that just crumble from being hit once, and people tend to express pain from merely hitting one without all of their strength. Even if we toss magic into the equation, you'd think Marilyn would have more than a simple "well that happened" response to being momentarily used as a wrecking ball-

[@chrosairs7057]

​@@nerothewateruser8030 Orville says its hollow when inspecting it, but yeah a good feat of endurance from the saint.

[@A_Person_64]

I wonder if there's a looney tunes styled imprint on the wall

[@NIDOKING]

1:03:23 Can't believe there's this meme here haha. Anyways, waiting for the finale. Let's see if it ends tomorrow or at Saturday. Thanks for the gameplay, enjoyed it and made me pick the romhack myself.

[@A_Person_64]

Nice Word of advice: pay attention to story and character interactions. If you have a feeling that a character should have a boss conversation, chances are they probably will. We saw way back in Chapter 18 (Gothen's raid on Birene) that Silph had a boss conversation with the guy because he damaged a part of the town she was doing community service with Eddie and Grant back in Chapter 4 and Eddie says he lives in that neighborhood in Chapter 10 (which means those two probably have something to say to that Halberdier boss too).

[@chrosairs7057]

2:13 This one is to allow for the special conversation Prosel has with his A support, you saw the Lilim one, there is also another with Grant. 4:06 You see this and they feel like friends. 7:15 And Gustav didn't win with this. Reccomendations for the laat two chapters: First: Turtle a little then bait Hama and approach the throne. Reinforcements will attack your rear and sides. Last chapter: Move slowly while dealing with the minibosses, after she runs out of minibosses she will come out for your blood making her easy to take out.

[@A_Person_64]

4:06 to 4:26 if you replace the music with the recruitment theme, it'd honestly fit Also, discarding Gustav's blade into a random wall/statue? Oof.

[@iseeyou5061]

1:04:51 Tremble in fear! I'm an almighty Generic Knight!

[@A_Person_64]

That's actually the knight Prosel fought way back in Chapter 2 (where you kite Fulshir with Eileen for the treasure)

[@steel19812]

Let's end this war Prosel's Army! Pt 1 of course. Can't wait till Pt. 2. 💪

[@steel19812]

Hildeswini is Forblaze. Athos PRF weapon.

[@IAARPOTI]

The final chapters are gonna be here. It's gonna end soon.

[@chrosairs7057]

1:44:39 I like Duking a lot as a character, a reasonable dude and gracious in defeat. His victory dialogue if he beats Prosel was like this: I feared luck got you this far, sadly I saw right through you. Birenians! This is your leader, give up. Gothen is the superpower of this era!

[@steel19812]

Whoa! Galgalim light tome has 60% critical! Hoplon Guard won't be a problem at all.

[@jinchan9150]

In 33:53, do you recognized the name of this song.

[@0715yt]

The music that plays when you fight three main bosses is MINT Pretty sure it’s original just for this hack too. Fuckin quality hack

[@jinchan9150]

Do you recognize the name for this music when fighting the three bosses.
