Worst Levels Ever # 12

Unfortunately, although there are lots of fantastic levels and stages in video games, there are also a fair few awful ones. This time, we take a look at my personal most hated level of all time, along with some dishonourable mentions from the same game.
I will more likely pick bad levels from games that I otherwise enjoy. These are the ones that stick out the most and can bring good games down.

Battle before dawn wasn’t that bad personally. It was the very level after. Hear me out. First of all, I played FE7 before 6, so I didn’t know Zephiel will be the villian, second, I just stayed in place and didn’t care for much beyond that, third, I didn’t care about getting Jaffar and Nino, which I now regret.

So basically, A timed, luck based escort mission, where the escort will usually be dead by turn 8. Let's throw in fog of war, for good measure. Oh, and don't forget that if one character dies, you can't recruit the other! Recruited Nino? Congratulations, have another person to escort! Want both of them? Keep them both alive by the end of the mission! There's also a boss roaming around, and the items are there to troll you. You have 15 turns to do all that and hope you don't get your ass kicked. Oh, and you end up saving the villian for the next game. No wonder you hate this goddamn chapter so f**king much.

I don't really have as much of a problem with fog of war or BBD. Probably because I avoid HHM. Thieves are the way to go though. Make them your main unit to use and they are pretty much unstoppable when I play.

To be fair, there actually is a very. VERY small hint that you need to level up Nils. During the tutorial, it tells you to "Level up Nils and increase his skill.", something it doesn't say about any other character. Granted, it doesn't really help much, but it's at least a clue, useless as it is.

Heath killed Ursula with 4 HP left, and dealt with four mercenaries. Florina was cleaning up the vicinity of Zephiel with 3 HP left, and Raven was ORKOing heroes, generals, mages and archers. In a nutshell, I was so lucky that I finished off EVERY enemy on the map.

[@Saltyoven]

Speaking of worst levels ever, how about those gaiden chapters from shadow dragon? All of them, they fail on principle alone. Who the hell is willingly going to kill all but 5 of their units just to unlock a new map, (and no, the fact that many units have no personality or are cannon fodder is not a good reason)? Every enemy is on par or better then you, have cheat weapons, and is a massive luck-based-game. There is no strategy. All in all it really shows how dated the first game is nowadays huh?

[@MasterKnightDH]

Saltyoven The Gaiden Chapters didn't even exist in FE1 OR FE3 Book 1. Only in FE11.

[@Saltyoven]

***** whatever, but still You got to admit that's bullshit

[@MasterKnightDH]

I actually agree it is bullshit. I just needed to play Devil's Advocate and point out that you can't blame outdated practices for the Gaiden chapter crap. And since it's actually new, that makes it worse. It's a practice no game in its right mind would allow to happen.

[@SpooniestBard]

Saltyoven Well you tend to only train about a dozen units anyway and the whole point of the Gaiden chapters is to help replenish your reserves if you went and got too many units killed. And the enemies in the Gaiden chapters I thought were a bit easier than their standard chapter counterparts. I didn't like them at first, but I enjoyed them on later playthroughs and especially on hard mode. And they're soldiers some of them are going to die so it makes the role of a tactician more meaningful.

[@Saltyoven]

SpooniestBard the problem is the game also likes to give you nameless cannon fodder soldiers if you lose too many making it even more annoying to get the gaiden chapters

Oh my god. All of these chapters I hated on ELIWOOD NORMAL MODE. (I'm a filthy casual so I've never played Hector Hard Mode, and have only beaten Hector's normal mode on a emulator using savestates and arena grinding). Seriously, though, my first playthrough of this game I had no idea how to successfully play a SRPG game, so I would constantly bring my weakest units into battle to ensure that they would level up, so I ended up on Chapter 18x with nobody above Level 10 except maybe Eliwood, but he was super weak at the beginning of the game so I hardly used him. Marcus had died (on Chapter 17 Pirate Ship, I remember vividly), and Lyn was like level 6. So when I got to Battle Before Dawn, I was severely underleveled, had no idea how to actually play this game correctly, and god damn it Nino why do you keep dying before I can get to you? Jaffar died too? What the fuck.

[@d.b.1871]

I didnt actually have any problems with Four-Fanged Offense (Lloyd version) and BBD in Eliwood Normal. Killed Lloyd with a promoted Raven and rescued Zephiel with the staff in time, and also recruited Nino and made her talk to Jaffar.

[@SkaiaMechanic]

Same kinda casual here, FE7 was my first SRPG when I was 13, so I couldn't imagine NOT using Marcus? Paladins and Sages are obviously the best units because of weapon triangle and multiple ranges, right? Who needs Archers or Lords? Anyways, all my bad practices finally caught up to me in Ch. 24, the Lloyd version of Four-Fanged Offence. I just couldn't beat it. So I restarted, leveled up units much better, and beat the Linus version. Still, Battle Before Dawn required a week of resets...and the Gaiden mission after that had ANOTHER long-range Bolter Boss that could easily surround and kill my characters. (I know I'm responding 3 years later, but I still have STRONG FEELINGS about this game and the anger it brought me.)

Heath died by his boss. :( i wanted him to get the last hit and rek the dude but he got doubled, missed, and wouldn't have killed him anyway. then Dorcas... i forget her name, but the really brutal chick that had Nergals power inside of her whooped his ass while having an archer i had to save with him, luckily she ended up fine, but Dorcas was a good guy, sucks i had to lose him, at least i have Erk. :3 he's BROKEN. i swear no other character can touch him, at least not in my playthrough.

[@The1Real1Cheese]

***** I finally beat it about a week ago and it was really good. hopefully my time with it was enough to get me prepared for fates. it's cool to know that Roy is Eliwoods' son too. i wonder if Ike is Hectors' grandson or something. with the last level, man... they rekt me hard for a little bit there, and with the final boss, i had to lure his little buds out to make sure i didn't take on all 3 at once. sadly... a few people died on the last level, but i didn't mind too much since it was the FINAL chapter with no endgame bonus stuff or anything. but man, the old magician guy Athos, he was so OP it wasn't even funny. to beat the dragon at the end, i had to have Nils and a healer looping to heal the guy every time he got hit so he could take on the dragon alone. that thing had like 150 hp. :O

[@lordpineapp7977]

***** I can see how he mistaked Hector for Ike. Hector is the most Op character in Rekka no Ken. Ike is the only main character in the series that can beat his own game by himself.

[@KratosAurionPlays]

11:17 That's interesting that a main story chapter can be altered like that. I thankfully seem to have gotten the 2nd version of this chapter. I hate fog of war levels so the Lloyd version would have been awful for me.

[@neildivins2844]

I think this chapter is better then Fire Emblem 6's desert level. Why? You COULD easily fix this chapter just by moving Nino's position to in the throne room with Zephiel. (Also, maybe buff Zephiel's stats up A LITTLE) It solves the issue of random deaths (at least Nino's and Zephiel's) by giving them some bloody back up! That way, the challenge factor is entirely up how well you can circumnavigate the castle quickly before turn 13 happens and Ursula making a fucking beeline for Zephiel. You COULD fix the Arcadia chapter by making Roy promote sooner, buff the priest's stats, less fucking bandits, give some Roy a dragon-slaying blade, LESS FUCKING BANDITS- *has sudden stroke*

[@smaragdchaos]

Actually you can get a Wyrmslayer before Arcadia, but you have to preserve it for several chapters

[@farahinnisa2116]

In arcadia. I bring all three thief that we have. Chad, astol and cath. Chad get the talisman and silver card(after dieck finish all the shit) cath find the speedwing idont remember but at the place where the bandit come from (before turn 7) and Astol to pick the rescued/silence (dont remeber again). My astol almost at max lavel so he can run and avoid the attack from the wrynrider. With all the thief. I can collect all the treasure , and my Lilina already promoted, she and lugh is soo good. I also bring ray just to be put in sleep and silence all of the time and annoy his brother (lugh:can u help me instead of sleep?). Milady and Thanny also already promoted which make me easier to bring all the thief to its place.

[@benedictyeong746]

The first time I played that level, I didn't realise that zephiel had a silver sword with him and I thought he managed to beat the crap out of at least one or two of the axemen with his bare hands, which made me respect him a tiny bit, considering he was merely a child. Of course, until I realised that one, he had one of the best weapons in the game with him at that time, and two, he basically killed hector, my favourite unit.

[@airtempest8945]

What's hilarious is that if Zephiel was smart enough to have a killing edge or iron sword, Ursula wouldn't one-round him.

[@airtempest8945]

Yuki Terumi I really wish they brought back no resting between battles. It makes the game so much harder, but so much more enjoyable. Also, can the devs stop putting Arenas and Vendors in the same map? Take a page from FE 8s chapter 10. You could arena grind, but not infinitely, or FE 6's chapter 20A. You could arena abuse, and there is a shop, but there's someone up for recruitment, who could die, and a Gaiden chapter that has to be accessed for the best ending (and access to Karel).

[@VanessaVersus]

Worst levels in Fire Emblem? Chapter 14, FE6. Jesus CHRIST. Fog of war. Desert. High level flying enemies who can gank you out of nowhere. Staff assholes. TWO liabilities who must be dragged around the map, one of whom is impeded by the desert. Fuckload of reinforcements in the starting area to spite you if you leave them behind. Gaiden requirement - finish the chapter in 25 turns. Difficult if you want all the treasure and the staff assholes keep putting Roy to sleep. Arbitrary Guiding Ring (one of FOUR in the game for EIGHT unpromoted magic users outside of secret shops) that can only be acquired at the other end of the map by Liability #1. Fuck. That. Map.

[@VanessaVersus]

Have fun. Probably won't make you want to break whatever you're playing it on at all.

[@BigKlingy]

Yeah, I hate FE6 Ch 14, it's probably one of the reasons it's my least favourite FE game. Combining fog of war and desert was the most horrible idea IS ever had and there's a very good reason they never did it again, not to mention reinforcements and being forced to deploy a character with the defense of wet tissue paper.

[@BigKlingy]

There's a lot of horrible levels in 6. There's one chapter where you have to keep a certain ENEMY alive (they don't join until afterwards) to get a sidequest (and you need all the sidequests to get the last 3 chapters of the game), the horrible chapter before the Zephiel one, a huge map with massive wyvern lord reinforcement spam, a time limit to get a sidequest, a character who really seems like he was planned to be recruitable but the devs went "eh, no" at the last minute and a horribly tough boss. Hilariously, the actual final chapter of FE6 is by far the most pathetically easy in the series.

[@blasterbuster3000]

"Arcadia", right? *shudders* Yeah, check out Git's 13th 'worst levels ever' for that train wreck of a FE chapter.

[@MMM69]

You forgot to mention DRAGONS!!! I was playing it completely blind (minus looking up where the treasure is, of course) when I came across this chapter and my only 2 promoted units are both mounted... uh, yeah. I swear if I knew about this level I would have given Saul my so-far-only Guiding Ring instead of Clarine >_> But I even almost managed the level on my first run somehow! Except Axereaver Miledy, who I sent to distract the Berserker assholes, ended up getting hit by a 20-something% Brigand (on top of a Devil Axe and Halberd hit each) who happened to just about kill her. Although to be fair I would still have had to make Sophia get the Guiding Ring and kill the boss but THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE EASY PART AT THAT POINT!

[@iamlucidess]

Giving Boots to a mounted unit increases movement by 2.. huh.. picturing a horse wearing boots now.

[@msdrakegx]

It's really funny how opinions can vary. This is easily one of my favourite chapters in the game. That being said, I've never played on HHM so I always appreciated the extra difficulty. Your arguments are well founded, if I ever play HHM I will probably hate it just as much

[@bmb7918]

Not nearly as bad as 99% of FE5. But yes, overly luck-reliant stuff in strategy games is never a good thing. I can't bring myself to hate this level though; Jaffar and Nino are two of my favourite characters in any video game and finally getting them on my party was a relief (though I was on ENM, so oh well)

[@TheLeadElite]

Ah yes FE5, the one game in the franchise that finds a way to screw you even if you grinded yourself up a team of super powerful units. Used your favorite character too much? Fuck you, now you can't use them on the next level which is most likely harder than the last. And don't even get me started on the enemy-exclusive class, Barons, who have the ability to use almost any weapon in the game AND have the massive amounts of defense generals are known for.

[@whoisthisgit]

I hear a lot of people say FE5 is the best in the series, but from all I've heard about it, I'm starting to think it might be the most unbearable game ever.

[@Ocsttiac]

whoisthisgit Woah, really? A lot of people say FE5 is the best? It's rare for me to find people who even know FE5 exists. Most people I see who're into Fire Emblem usually say Awakening is the best... Mainly because most of those people haven't played any of the other titles.

7:16 Thankfully, Pent is one of the few pre-promo characters who is actually a hardcore badass. Protecting him is the easy part of this mission. The hard part is making sure he doesn't kill enough enemies to keep you from meeting the EXP threshold to unlock the X chapter that lets you recruit Hawkeye. Axe user luck. Those guys should never be able to land 3 consecutive hits like that lol

[@user-sf4nj9mk8w]

Pent has almost no bearing on your ability to unlock the gaiden lol. You can just buy a couple barrier staves in the kinship's bond secret shop and then spam them every turn with priscilla and someone else like serra, plus dancing for someone with ninian every turn, and you'll easily get it. Pent can solo almost the entire map and you'll still get more than enough experience just using staves/dancing to get the experience requirement.

[@PeruvianPotato]

Pent literally soloed the entire map and I had to reset several times to get the Gaiden chapter

Now THIS is the Worst Levels Episode I have been waiting for. I've never agreed with a stranger over the internet more than during this episode.

[@BigKlingy]

It's really funny actually... this is by far my faourite level in FE7, has been ever since I first played it. To the point where whenever I start a new playthrough of the game, this is the point I look forward to the most. And it actually shows how different my approach to FE is compared to everyone else. I play it for the story and don't give a crap about "efficiency" or HHM. This chapter is the culmination of the Bern arc of the game. You're racing to stop an assassination attempt and save THREE people. On the lower difficulties, I love how much Jaffar just slaughters everything that comes near him. I like getting Nino to him to unlock the side chapter. The closure it brings to his redemption story. And there's some really good loot in the chests. The only thing I hate is the boss: they make one of the Four Fangs an optional boss who stays out of your range most of the time? Weird. I almost never manage to kill her in my runs. Then again, I usually stay away from HHM on this game, I don't find it fun at all with my playstyle. Eliwood Hard Mode is fine (it's actually probably equal to the NORMAL mode of most FE games) but on HHM I can see why this chapter is so hated: so much luck involved in the NPCs surviving, and someone on the design team was a total scumbag and gave the enemies near Jaffar Swordslayers. On Normal getting to him is pretty doable if you sent a Paladin around the left side.

I have to say, I'm wondering if this chapter was so unbearably frustrating, is it because the dev were so over the game with hard mode that they said "lol what if if we made the players never play again so we don't have to finish it". Because really, this chapter throw everything at you in such a rapid fire that not getting whiplash from it is impossible All of that for rescuing ZEPHIEL. Especially if you played FE6, this is just a salted blade that is shoved in your wound lol

[@MarkATorres1989]

I agree... you were too light on that level. You just reminded me of all those times I had a near heart attack and cried when I was rushing in, got mobbed and killed, or one of the NPCs got slaughter. Though... you did answer one of my biggest questions that was nagging me constantly... 'Could Ursala Move?' Usually I kill her before turn 11 or 12 comes around with a fully leveled Florinia and (BOSS) Canas. However there were a few times before I thought of just leaving her alone and suddenly... Boom... Dead Zephiel... A real kick to the nads.

THANK YOU. The first two times I played this level on freaking Eliwood Normal Mode, Jaffar died before I even got close despite moving the maximum amount each turn. Ever since then I have despised this level.

[@TheModularian]

When talking about how already scary FE bosses get even scarier when they move, you should have recorded talking to Lloyd on Cog of Destiny with Nino, because after two talks with him, WHERE HE ALMOST JOINS YOUR DAMN ARMY, he refuses a final time and will actually become able to move off his throne after that. That was the worst fucking scare.

[@jorgeorellana4340]

Just recently finished this level on Eliwood normal. I hated it so much. Jaffar died before I could reach him 5 times, so I had to completely change my strategy and use almost all my mounted units. What's worse is that I had to ignore the chests because I was too busy trying to keep everyone alive. There goes my brave lance. Oh and I couldn't get the elysian whip because I had to play so defensively that I couldn't even get to the bishop who was it. RIP Heath, totally worth getting you to level 20 just so that you can't upgrade. Oh and fuck Ursula too. I had to restart four times because I was going for a "no-death run", but Ursula had different plans. I had to use up most of my vulneraries/elixirs to beat that chapter, it's probably my least favorite one in that game. I also hate living legend. It's easy in normal mode but getting that side quest as well as all the hidden items is annoying

[@joaocbcneto]

is that the hard version ? because in the normal version its almost impossible for him to get hit (almost= Maxime)

[@atw8204]

For the living legend side quest I kept on using the barrier staff XD

[@joaocbcneto]

***** when i first played that chapter jaffar literally dodged everything and the hardest challenge for me was to get Nino to talk to Jaffar before the chapter ended

[@airtempest8945]

Daoriond I just let Nino deal with the Heroes, since they usually almost suicide on Priscilla, then Nino can kill them.

[@Lime30373]

The first time I played it, I went after Nino first. She died immediately after I recruited her. Jaffar killed most of the enemies until his weapon broke, and then he died (I thought I could still recruit him, but it didn't even matter). I'm like the worst FE player, but that was so frustrating.

[@sagefurry]

Here's my strategy for this level: 1. Leave both Merlinus and a staff user with a high enough staff rank to use the Rescue staff at the start. 2. Either split up or go with you entire army to Nino's side. (Get a thief or someone with a chest key on Nino's side, too.) 3. Get the Rescue staff from the chest. (Make sure the character that gets the staff has full inventory for you to send it to Merlinus.) 4. Send it to Merlinus. 5. Give the Rescue staff from Merlinus to your staff user. (It'll be easier to do this when he promotes and gets a wagon, since you can leave him anywhere.) 6. Use the Rescue staff on Zephiel. I still can't believe my completely untested strategy went into a Whoisthisgit video and worked, though I doubt that it came from a random commenter like me, and he just had the same strategy that I had. I hope it was the former.

[@jeffersontirazona7156]

This actually looks pretty legit. Have you tried this yourself? If so, how well did it go for you at first (and how many tries, if this was a theory when you first thought of it)? I haven't really tried HHM yet, just HNM.

[@cactusalucano4013]

Computing Magus I tried it, it does helps but one unit (Lucius) that does not keeps with you almost ends with Jaffar and some units being killed. Good strategy but be fast as the light.

[@sagefurry]

To be honest, this was just a theory.

[@cactusalucano4013]

Agitha Insect Princess? Well, your theory is not wrong, but not having one staff unit in the field is not optimal. After all, in this chapter your staff unit are most optimal to be Pent, Lucius or Canas.

[@FIRE-LOTUS]

This level was bitch for me even in normal mode, but luckily I still recruited Jaffar and Nino, saved Zephiel and kept all my units alive in one piece. Now if you ask me. Fuck FE 4 and 5. I don't know if you played those games but a lot of levels are almost as frustrating as this one. Well first off enemies are smarter and all will attack one of your units. Making it easier to kill down your army in the long run. And I am the kind of player that can't afford to let even one single unit die. If they die then I just restart the level. But that's only if you have standards like I do. And also I first played FE6 and then everything in GBA afterwards, so I wasn't use to FE 4&5 mechanics, but what made me cringe is that sometimes the boss enemies will move " sometimes" and extremely rarely you see bosses in the GBA and Gamecube do that. And bandits normally will get to one village before you do, sometimes it's an item that doesn't matter but like I said, I am the kind of guy who wants everything. But we all know the biggest bull shot of them all and it can be in any FE game! The arena. You try to train one of your weaker units and then bad luck strikes. They find the one unit that can one shit kill yours and you can not exit it out until they hit you. That sucks. I love FE but it can be a serious troll to players.

[@Aster_Iris]

And what does Zephiel do for thanks after you go through all this agony to save his butt? Kills Hector, Guy (if Karel didn't kill him), Rath, possibly Lyn depending on who you paired with who, also possibly Heath and Vaida if they refused to harm innocents, and a lot of other characters after he becomes the king of Bern. ....ZEPHIEL, THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS! (in all honesty, though, I had more trouble with the Lloyd version of "Four-Fanged Offense", but this is a close second in my book)

[@Mariokemon]

who said he killed Guy, Rath, and Lyn?

[@Aster_Iris]

***** In FE6, he invades Sacae and practically wipes out the Kutolah tribe, leaving only a handful of survivors. In Shin's ending, it's mentioned that he becomes the next leader of the tribe after Dayan retires, so that probably means that Rath got killed during one of Zephiel's attacks as well as whoever Sue's mother was. Guy also most likely got killed as well, unfortunately. (THE FAVORITE CHARACTER CURSE STRIKES AGAIN DX)

[@Mariokemon]

AsterOrca I give you that. However, Shin became the leader, even though Sue is alive, so that doesnt REALLY prove Rath's fate. Guy's fate is 100% unknown. he did not return to the plains, so he wouldn't of been executed then. He may of died to Karel, but still. Also, there are plenty of characters whos fate is unknown. Such as PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IN THIS GAME. With exception to a couple such as Karen, Canas, and Rebecca

[@Aster_Iris]

***** Hmm....good point.

[@bobin5891]

I've found the best way to do this chapter is to have a Warrior or two with a sage or bishop on the right. They go towards nino, and because they can switch between range and close they can handle pretty much everything while the bulk of your units handle the far harder left side. Preferably the ones going left have some speed. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but I find splitting your forces increases the risk to your own troops (something you actually have some control over) and reduces the risk to the npc units (whose fate is harder to control). Just my 2 cents though.

hahahaha, I think I spent 2 weeks restarting this level over and over to get it perfect and not lose any of the important characters. I couldnt get it done in that time, and I didnt wanna continue feeling underpowered for the rest of the game. I just quit at that point. I liked the game, but I hate having to deal with bullshit where your only options were to restart and try again and theres no way to prevent it.

[@puffypuff3144]

I'd like to vouch for the Path of Radiance chapter where you have to mount a boat to Begnion as being a Worst Level Ever. I've had to restart that chapter multiple times because of stuff I had no way of accounting for happening: - Needing to send a Laguz unit towards the myrmidon to recruit him isn't that hard to figure out, but by the time the dialogue that even makes you aware he exists pops up, your Laguz could be halfway across the map. - A recruitable unit spawning right at the start, once Ike has already probably moved halfway across the map. I assumed there were going to be enemies near there due to the Wyverns hanging just out of the map borders, but I didn't assume a recruitable would be among them, and so I couldn't really backpedal on my mistake before Jill suicided on the units i left behind. - Black Knight spawning in the center of the map as an ambush reinforcement... as in, he moves immediately when he spawns, immediately killing a unit i had placed near there to bait Jill closer to Ike during a different attempt. - This map is pretty wide and basically forces you to use your cavaliers and Ike to make any progress, since you need to leave at least one Laguz behind for the myrmidon. However, due to the aforementioned Jill, you have to leave Ike at the start, thus you can't utilize him to help make a dent in the enemy forces. This is a problem because your only other sword units are Mia, who sucks imo, and the aforementioned Myrmidon recruit, who is recruited on the opposite end of the map as the majority of enemies. You also have to ensure Jill doesn't suicide on Ike but also that her other wyvern buddies don't kill Ike either. And on top of that, the Black Knight spawns very soon after Jill does, so... Overall a really obnoxious map in a game i was starting to really enjoy.

[@aarondille1842]

I'm pretty new to fire emblem and fe7 is my first game. and after many resets I finally had No one die, recruited Nino and was about to save zephiel, but Ursula come out of no were and asks "tell me...are you afraid to die" and I was like no then I saw 25 attack and i immediately said yes and I lost Raven.

Lunatic Conquest? all the GBA games hardest respective modes I found easy

[@DemonDragon43]

+Enchant Senpai Really? I found Binding Blade and Blazing Sword to be quite the challenge at their hardest difficulties. Granted, they are not nearly as hard as, say, Radiant Dawn maniac mode, or Thracia 776, or, as you said, Conquest Lunatic, but I think that the Elibe games still pose a respectable challenge. Sacred Stones is a cakewalk, though

[@matthewzakrzewski1797]

Awakening's harder difficulties were relatively easy when compared to the earlier games. I had some trouble with fates, but it's still not quite the game the gba and snes games were.

I always try to get into Fire Emblem 7... but after I turn the game on I say... Oh shit there's that really hard luck based Jaffar and Zephiel mission... maybe later.

[@Elalmadebudin]

Don't worry. The mission only becomes a luck based thing on Hector's Hard Mode. In normal mode it's quite passable.

[@Mr_SU]

Don't worry, on Eliwood's Normal mode, (which you have to play through first) I beat it without too much trouble, in fact in ENM, Jaffar just kills half the map, including the miniboss.

[@PokeShadow77]

ew275x use emulators, save states, and maybe cheats.

[@greatdetectivefurudoerika1589]

Mr. ShinyUmbreon i actually didn't know the miniboss existed because of ENM. :)

An rescue mission. A weak charachter to protect. Easy ways to lose 2 new charachters. A boss with huge range in magic. A rescue staff in a chest deep in the castle to patronize you. Powerful enemies..might be a bit too powerful. Your saving the future scourge of Elibe. So everyone,tell me.. Are you afraid to die?

[@GGolden2500]

Ok... So the whiney b**ch that dies immediately and doesn't know how to fight AT ALL who is required to survive in an incredibly difficult level, suddenly became an incredibly powerful warrior who thought it was a good idea to kill the person who saved his life 20 years ago? That revenge against him must've felt amazing
