Worst Levels Ever # 13

Okay, even though Battle Before Dawn will always be my most hated level from any game, not just from Fire Emblem, it's not the only potentially annoying chapter in the series.
For this episode, we take a look at what is widely regarded as the most annoying desert chapter in the FE series. Personally, I don't feel as much hate towards this level as most levels I've featured in Worst Levels Ever, I even find it kinda fun, but I can certainly see why other people would hate it.

[@jevyan7716]

I love the sound of the silence staff. Well not the sound, but the sudden lack of it. It even cuts the music.

[@janmarcoperezbatres2203]

I actually found it super funny one time. I wanted to silence Ursula with Serra, so i went close to her and used the staff on ursula, and i was expecting an awesome silence when..... Missed. And the lack of sound after that out of the anticipation (First silence ever) was such a poker face moment.

Fire Emblem has its fair share of bad chapters, that's for sure. But none, I repeat, NONE will ever come anywhere near close to the awfulness that is Tear Ring Saga Map 16: Dark Beasts. That is, easily, THE single worst map in any Fire Emblem-style game. (TRS pretty much is a Fire Emblem game) Let me attempt to sum up the nightmare: you're in a HUGE cave-based map. The only enemies are Opus, basically Mogals from Sacred Stones... that can MULTIPLY. Yes, every single enemy on the map can split in two. And there's at least 40 there to START with. Opus are also really annoying: they fly, so people in the rear aren't safe, and their weapon has no weight so they double you a lot and are hard to double back. Oh, and the boss also makes more of them: 4 at a time. (AND they can split on the turn they're created too) The map is also mostly swamp tiles, you know, the ones from Gaiden that hurt you every turn you're on them AND slow your movement to a crawl. Of course the enemies just fly over them... Oh, and the map's victory condition? It's not Rout. You can FINALLY finish killing all the annoying bastards, which took me AROUND 4 HOURS the first time I played, and it still won't be over. Now, you win by... opening all the chests? Well, the good news is your main Lord has an innate lockpicking ability, so it's impossible to be fully screwed. The bad news... aside from him, you have ONE other character who can open them. So that's 2 at most, and the chests are really spread out, one requires you to go through the swamp, one is through a secret passageway inside a wall... and god help you if you didn't deploy this second character, or put her in the other ground 6 chapters ago. In short, this chapter took me almost 4 hours to finish my first time though. 4 HOURS! For a Fire Emblem chapter.

"I hope so, I haven't played Fire Emblem 5 yet." Trust me, when you play that, you will wish you could murder civilians with your own hands, resent rewarping Dark Mages, pray for the games with limited range staves to return, and Chapters 17A and 22 will teach you that Satan's real name is Saias. Also, really glad to see you cover my (former) least favourite chapter in the series! I fucking hated that level, and I still hate it. *shudders* The name "Arcadia" still gives me nightmares.

[@Kakelord]

Chapter 22 I swear was designed to be hell though. The only saving grace is it's not the Manchester escape. While not hard (By FE 5 standards), it's still one of the rougher spots in the game by far.

[@Ocsttiac]

Kakelord Oh god, don't remind me about the Manster breakout. That was a horrific experience for me to keep everyone safe and alive.

[@mens1036]

Chapter 17a is not nearly as mind-grinding as chapter 22, if you got some bolting tomes to kill the ballista it's actually really easy. While chapter 22 is featuring, 3 bosses all with total amount of 19 authority star aka 57 hit and evasion bonus to all enemies, a really big amount of mounted enemies, a bridge necessary to cross if you want to complete the chapter crumbling if you got near the boss, a ton of ballista, oh and you should not forget the 3 bosses 2 of them are very,very,very terrifying in there own way. Thank god you get a warp and a rescue staff an this map from villages.

[@Ocsttiac]

Mens I dunno, dealing with Misha, the Dark Mages, saving Sara, dealing with the new boss that pops up behind you and all of the crap Saias causes, 17A is still pretty bad. At least with 22, you can wait it out, mostly.

[@mens1036]

Ocsttiac It's more or less as you said it is in ch. 22 with ch. 17a. You can avoid most of the games "traps" if you know whats going to happen (put Misha to sleep, after Karin talked to her ). My problem with chapter 22 is just the huge amount of hard hitting long range stuff.

[@carbon6111]

I recently played HM for the first time and honestly, this chapter wasn't that bad. In my opinion, chapter 7 is way worse. At that point you have weak units against rather good enemy units, especially the cavaliers and dragon riders. Unlike CH14, CH7 overwhelms you with enemies in the first couple of turn. Most of them lance users and the only decent axe user you have at that point is Marcus. Also, physic priests. Also, there are three recruit-able characters in this map. 2 of which will die by turn 2, which when you can get to them. It's up to luck weather they survive or not. On top of that, there there are enemy reinforcements at your starting position. They are cavaliers which is bad in itself, but one of them has a Silver Lance. There is one more wave of reinforcements from the boss room, but it's easier to deal with. Overall: -Huge map with no place to tank, leaving you open -Dumb suicidal NPCs -Overpowered enemies -Long range healers at this point in the game -Asshole reinforcements When I think of this chapter, Arcadia seems almost relaxing. Don't get me wrong, I still think Arcadia is bullshit, but not as hard as this or some other chapters.

[@Boosmerrygoround]

I never had a hard time with Noah or Jerrot getting killed. Noah spawns closer to your own units, unlike Jerrot and Treck who spawn closer to the enemy's units. I can usually get Noah and Jerrot as soon as they spawn (I use Marcus and Allance to get Jerrot). Treck on the other hand is completely surrounded by enemy units, and is slightly farther away than Jerrot. He's going to die before he can even move. He's a huge hassle to save, and saving him makes the chapter even harder. As cruel as it sounds, the chapter is much easier if you just let Treck die as it distracts some of the enemies. Maybe Sue or Shanna could make it easier to rescue him, but those two are total burdens in this chapter. The cavaliers in the back are annoying but thankfully there's a horseslayer in one of the villages so while they're still a threat they're a tame one. I always make sure Marcus has a D in axes so he can use the halberd by chapter 4. The healers can go fuck themselves. They always heal the most obnoxious enemies too (the wyverns and mercenaries). There's also mages, and the only units with good res at this point are Marcus, Jerrot, who can still get criticalled by the ones with thunder(which takes like a third of his health away if they do), and Ellen who can't even fight yet. Don't underestimate the soldiers and archers either. They may be stepping stones most of the time, but with all the other threats these jerks can just sneak up and kill somebody when you least expect it. There may only be two mercenaries, but mercenaries are always obnoxious cunts to fight.

[@whoisthisgit]

Dammit, I really say some stupid things sometimes, I had totally forgotten about her when I type that out. Still, I guess if the Sealed Sword broke, she could be dangerous.

[@stefanfr13]

whoisthisgit Yeah, but that's a pretty big if, there's only 3-5 chapters after getting the sword, so unless someone where to remove all Roy's weapons except for the SoS, there's little to no chance of breaking it. Unless Roy were to get surrounded by a million enemies he had to fight off on his own, but that shouldn't happen if the player knows that he/she is doing.

[@smaragdchaos]

The original incarnation of Idunn was basically lunatic dangerous, because she wielded demonstone that gave her serious stat boosts and which made her essentially impervious to physical attacks (and even to magic if she stepped on a tile that boosted her resistance by 10) and only Roy and Fae could damage her. I'm guessing they removed the demonstone from her purely because she'd be unkillable for the most part if Roy's and Fae's weapons broke (or well, you would be able to kill her with either lucky Eclipse, or with an armada of ranged light brand attacks, but that would likely come at the cost of deaths of multiple units no matter what you did).

[@xtranathor8143]

Been randomly watching your videos after reminiscing with Advanced Wars. All I've taken from this video is: "wow, FE looks great, I wonder how many games in the series I need to pick up"! Thanks!

[@MeBomb1]

A few extra things to note: 1) The "Sophia-only Guiding Ring" is just plain cruel. Without using the secret shops, there are a total of 4 guiding rings for up to 8 units that use them. One of them is here and one of them is in the very last chapter before endgame, by which point if you're still using unpromoted units, what the hell is wrong with you? If you know of the secret shop, it's not so bad, but if you don't, I hope you know which mages you want to use... 2) 08:28 Hahaha, oh you wish. It wouldn't be IntSys if they did not deliver the dick move of dumping a small army of brigands (+2 Berserker bosses) where you start. 3) 11:12 So let's recap the perfect storm of pain that Intsys has delivered up to this point: Fog of War; Desert movement restrictions; 2 weak characters, one of whom can barely move, the other one can get one-rounded by...well, ANYTHING in this level; A metric ton of asshole reinforcements where you start the level; Generally powerful enemies; Status and healing assholes. 4) 12:21 But wait, there's more! Hidden items in the desert! Three in particular are extremely important to grab: The Silver Card, the Boots and the Guiding Ring (Read point 1 of this comment). Everything else, while nice to get, is not really important (Might as well grab the Talisman as it's just to the west of where you start) 5) 13:40 Okay, now THAT'S a dick move by the game! I didn't even know the FoW went away after the 25 turn limit is up. 6) A chapter with two bolting assholes is considered "Boring"? Alongside an annoying gimmick...

[@whoisthisgit]

I find Chapter 14x boring because I end up approaching the throne very slowly. I'm afraid of someone getting killed by Bolting, or having their escape cut-off when the floor changes.

My strategy was basically to not use too many units (avoid unneeded deaths), focus on using my fliers, rescue my weaker units, and fly AS FAST AS I FUCKING COULD to the goal without dying.

[@earlpayud3222]

I've Noticed that the Sacred Weapons in FE6 is related to FE7 (Durandal, Forblaze, Aureola, etc....)

[@myssledissle]

My Roy got super high growths and totaly kicked ass. I gave up for a while when I went through this chapter though.

[@Lauren-tg5jj]

Ohhhh, I remember seeing this one in an Iron Man. This is the one that went relatively well until Lilina got brutally murdered. And of course it being an Iron Man she was gone forever. So yeah.

[@gravity8120]

OK, can we address how a torch helps you see through a sandstorm better?

[@VanessaVersus]

So glad you covered this, especially after I mentioned it in the comments of the last episode. Though I think there's a couple of things you missed. Firstly: Hard Mode. Arcadia is a completely different beast on Hard Mode thanks to the enemy bonuses. Extra range and hit on the Sleep/Silence assholes. The dragons are tougher, more powerful, and harder to double. Silver Lance Wyvern Lords can fly at you out of nowhere and gank your squishier units in a single hit. And since you NEED mages on this map... Yeah. Plus there's way more brigands, and the boss comes with 18 AS. Good luck doubling him while you're on a timer. And while it's not quite as big of an asshole as Arcadia, 14x is still a pain in the ass for its disappearing land trick and the boss using Bolting while you're forced to circle around him to actually get to him. With Bolting not being stupid heavy in this game, there's a fair chance he might actually double, and on Hard Mode, that's potentially two hits from a 22 magic attack you can't do shit about. You can try sending a Pegasus Knight into Bolting range to sponge hits while your crew holds back, but they'll get rushed by other units and of course, the whole disappearing land thing forces you to press on. Plus, Pegs are fast, so they won't get doubled, meaning they HAVE to take five turns of Bolting. Also, Sophia can "predict the future", and yet didn't have the foresight to stay out of this battle. Brilliant.

[@whoisthisgit]

I was playing the game on Hard mode for this video.

[@VanessaVersus]

Fair point, but I think the chapter is so different on Normal and Hard that it's worth mentioning.

[@abosikay5952]

FE5 is difficult, but in a fair, rewarding sense. Everything in FE5 is cool and fun... except fatigue. but FE5 is cool as because of the crusader scrolls, any unit is viable as they alter growth rates. Except archers. Archers suck no matter what. now, FE14:Conquest... it's the best out of the three, but that doesn't mean the map design is annoyingly stupid.

[@rubyred169]

yo something to ask mind of you can cover Celica's path in fire emblem echoes shadows of valentia because literally her whole path is textbook definition of how to not design a map in fire emblem

[@rubyred169]

Act 2 is a shit ton of Boat maps Act 3 is desert maps Act 4 is swamp maps

[@PinkSunrise_spl]

Battle Before Dawn happened in FE7. And, I actually liked it because of its difficulty.

[@PinkSunrise_spl]

Wait, I realized what that first comment meant now. Sorry. :P

[@El_Chuchuca]

I soft resetted 3 times in the desert stage... And didn't get the secret Chapter

[@carlosjuarez6675]

Normal or hard mode?

[@shadowlightnign]

I see you're using Gonzales. I only noticed now cause I always thought it was Geese.

[@DarkVaati13]

Still better then the following chapters in Thracia 776 The Dungeon The Thieves of Dakia Freedom Leonster's Gate First Rain of May Liberation of Leonster Remorse and Retaliation Altar of Lopto and how could we forget everyones favorite. Crossing the River

[@MasterKnightDH]

+DarkVaati13 So let's see what pisses people off about each one. -Dungeon (4) - fuck you ambush, Thracia 776 Escape Map -Thieves of Dakia (12) - Thracia 776 Fuck of War, timed Gaiden requirement -Freedom (14G) - Thracia 776 Fuck of War, Escort Mission -Lenstar's Gate (17 Dorias) - *HIM*, Poison-inducing enemies in Thracia 776 -First Rain of May (17 August) - not sure. The arches? -Liberation of Lenstar (18) - convulted recruitment condition, convulted good item obtainment condition, Thracia 776 Indoor Map -Remorse and Retaliation (19) - long Thracia 776 Escape Map -Altar of Loptous (24G) - Thracia 776 Fuck of War, Berserker spam, bullshit trap tiles, Thracia 776 Escape Map, Thracia 776 Indoor Map -Crossing The River (22) - ridiculous Leadership Star count, Thracia 776 status wand spam

[@DarkVaati13]

***** First Rain of May isnt as bad as i remember I'll be honest. It's just long as hell. I now think Remorse and Retaliation is the worst of them all.

[@movingstone4910]

Some chapter that could be at this level: Across the River (Thracia 776) Retaking the capital (Binding Blade) The Spear of Ice and Snow (Binding Blade) Victory or Death (Blazing Blade) The distant Plains (Blazing Blade) The Phantom Ship (Sacred Stones) etc, etc, etc...

[@linkmasterman1]

"I haven't played Fire Emblem 5 yet" *coughCyascough* But seriously if you think Battle Before Dawn was bad, you will hate FE5

[@DarkOrderSolDjango]

Why ? *Edited* I just checked the gameplay.... I must say that Git must play it and I'll play it too XD

[@Swordkirby9999]

So... Many... of the same SRPGs for the past 5 episodes! You really did like those games, and I bet you still do

[@weepingdalek2568]

Dark Magic is the Axe of Magic

[@stevenburgos9127]

That chapter transition theme is super ominous 😱😱

[@WhiteMageMentality]

This is why I can't get into this series. I mean, I get true endings being toigh to get or for people eho replay the game, all this Guide Dang It stuff just rubs me the wrong way. How am I supposed to enjoy a playthrough when I *know* I'm screwing myself over for not constantly consulting a guide? I even play roguelikes amd fail to see the charm here, gameplay wise. The stkry seems solid but not my cup of tea, so I'll leave that part be. And good visuals. Very good.

[@jairovsleon]

What do que learned here?, Dessert levels are the water temples un FE

[@lamptrent]

~Reposting this here as I don't think you saw it before~ Hey, I'm extremely new to Strategy RPGs. So, uhh... do you recommend a game for me to try first, whoisthisgit? As long as it isn't PS3/4 or XBOX 360/1, I could probably get it. It's just... a genre I haven't ever gotten into. My first experience with SRPGs was Fire Emblem on the Wii when I was quite a bit younger. When my axeman died and didn't come back to life like, say, Luigi did, it kind of prevented sleep that night for me. That was a traumatic experience at the time. Thus, I have not played an SRPG since. I'm looking for a beginner's SRPG. I'd rather not have permanent death, but I'll still play it if it does have permanent death. Those are my only guidelines, and I'd figure that I'd ask you about this as you seem very experienced with the genre. Thanks!

[@whoisthisgit]

Try Vandal Hearts. It has no permanent death, and it's a lot easier than many other SRPGs out there.

[@lamptrent]

whoisthisgit 1. OH MY GOSH ONE OF MY FAVORITE KZbinRS JUST REPLIED TO MY COMMENT [spaz] 2. Will do! Thanks a lot! :)

[@stefanfr13]

I would also suggest Fire Emblem Awakening, as you can turn off permanent death.

[@dmas7749]

whoisthisgit I'm not too big on permadeath either.

[@whoisthisgit]

D MAS I don't really mind permanent death most of the time, but I can see why others wouldn't like it.

[@TitanTezwa]

12:45 Uhm...that's the north-west corner. Also this is something kinda...ironic I noted. Both of your WLE chapters for FE have a character that starts out extremely weak and joins at that weak state mid/late game. (12 being Nino and this one being Sophia). But the actuality is that they turn out to be ridiculously strong if they're able to kill people. Sophia turned into one of my best units in my (admittedly only) playthrough of the game. That Nino-esque CON didn't help her using Apocolypse...but she blew Ray out of the water. I can't remember if I've had an FE run where Nino was able to catch up. If anything...I'd be saving the Afa's Drops for her at that point and use them for up to 35 insane levels.

[@hawkecrail5186]

*33 insane levels

[@TitanTezwa]

Hawkecrail Nino starts at 5 unpromoted, so 35.

[@hawkecrail5186]

33, because you only gain 19 levels to level 20 if you are at level one

[@lordtullus9942]

The promotion bonuses count, I think.

[@hawkecrail5186]

Lord Tullus 9 *33 insane levels and the awesome promotion

[@chrisawesome3891]

tfw u beat the dessert level (chapter 14) in 26 turns

[@Slenderquil]

Probably my least favorite fe map is the atrocious haunted house map in awakening. It's enormous and filled with mire abusers everywhere. Nah isn't that strong at the start so she's also no help on harder difficulties. At least the player can destroy the leader with their own mire user

[@notwesley9180]

My least favorite map in FE is Nuibaba's abode in Echoes. First off, it takes place on a MOUNTAIN, which already limits movement speed. However, to add insult to injury, Nuibaba has the Medusa spell, which if I'm correct, leaves your units on 1 HP, leaving them ready to be picked off by some random enemy. Oh wait, I forgot to mention the god forsaken Mire users and Cantors. The only way to pass the slowed terrain from the mountain is a mage or flier, which raises another two issues: One, Luthier and Delthea aren't very strong, especially the latter, and Two, only Female units can become Pegasus/Falcon Knights, which pretty much only leaves Clair and Faye, in which the latter was made a cleric on my playthrough, which was a blind one.

[@Nik-284]

At least Shopia can become the best druid if you arena abuse her a bit. But if she did'nt existed it would have been better.

[@quinnlee-miller9792]

6:42 and the fact that’s there’s goddamned treasure in them thar dunes! Absolutely sinful

[@DemonicDevilDiran]

I'm currently on the first fog of war chapter and my Roy seems to be top notch. He always has a hit chance of 100 and dodges almost every attack enemy units throw at him. I'm glad I spent the time I did trying to get him to be worthy.

[@weepingdalek2568]

But, they are axe users

[@nightazday7988]

Getting the gaiden chapters are always a stressful endeavor but the gaiden chapters themselves are always relaxing in comparison.

[@MasterKnightDH]

Those two bandits who are Berserkers have fucking 40 Crit without Kill Axes? In a game where Crit is checked before the hit itself? They are officially ghey. ...wait. That didn't come out right. Also, I don't know how this would have looked if the Mamkutes were more interested in trying to abuse their potentially unmanageable status. Needing the divine weapons to deal with them in any halfway reasonable gesture when you don't want the damned things to break from overuse whatsoever. So yeah, things could have been worse. Then again, we had seen worse already. (BATTLE BEFORE DAWN.)

[@ultimateluigi9878]

Crit isn't checked before hit, even in FE6. And thank god for that, Scott in chapter 9 would be unbearable (to say nothing else about the others) if that was the case since he has a Killer Axe on top of the innate +30 crit that Berserkers/SMs get.

[@JackSparm]

Well, Sophia is an "Est". She became very powerful unit if you train her (as Nino)

[@whoisthisgit]

Not really. Her growth rates never make up for those god-awful base stats. Lilina is a similar character to Sophia, expect she joins a lot earlier, has much better base stats, (and they're not exactly great, either) and uses a much more suitable magic type for her low Con and Skill.

[@JackSparm]

Well, I just check on Serenes Forest, except her awful Luck (Stefan syndrome, desert syndrome ?), the rest is close to Lilina (with better defenses). Some people argue that Zeiss is the "Est" of FE6, but I find Sophia suits better. I agree for her unsuitable magic.

[@VanessaVersus]

Jack Sparm Zeiss is definitely more of an Est than Sophia, especially on Hard Mode. 19 Strength at level 8 oh my god

[@BigKlingy]

Jack Sparm The problem with Sophia is when funnly trained, she's pretty much exactly the same as Lilina, a character who joined much earlier. So there's really not much point to using her. Also, as far as Ests go, Sophia is by FAR one of the hardest to train, being one-rounded by nearly everything while having horrible accuracy

[@wanderingmeowstic9717]

Okay, lemme see if I got this. An "Est" unit is a unit that starts off weak, but can grow incredibly powerful. Donnel?

[@grimreaper9115]

Personally I consider FE9's chapter 15 worse, that is, if you want every item and all the bonus exp. To get all the BExp you have to clear it in 7 turns or less IIRC, and you cannot kill ANY laguz (except Muarim, who joins you later). You also must deploy Ike, who is a good unit, but not in this map, as you don't want combat-heavy units. And there's also the fact that if you want to recruit Stefan (the best swordmaster in the game, and one of the best units as a whole with those absolutely absurd base stats) you MUST deploy either Lethe or Mordecai (at least their movement is not hindered while transformed) (or you can send Marcia/Jill and get only the Vague Katti), and since thiefs have 100% chance of finding buried treasure you probably want to deploy both Sothe and Volke, and one of them must be tanky enough to take a hit from a hawk (or a raven, I don't remember), since some of them in the left side begin transformed. Also, enemy phases are friggin ETERNAL, as laguz transform and untransform, as most of them have different gauges at the beggining, so they transform on different turns. Yeah, a nightmare.

[@RLACDC2000]

I just got to this level for the first time, and I really don't want to deal with it

[@DoctorSpacebar]

I wonder if you'll do a Best Levels Ever for FE? I always liked Part 2 Endgame of Radiant Dawn and Cog of Destiny from FE7. FE8's chapter 19 is also pretty good, though it's dang hard.

[@maverickkillmore2996]

Binding Blade has Chapter 7, the Gaiden chapters, Chapter 14, and Chapter 21 (if no warp staff or not ferrying in the mountains.)

[@alessioscoppa1745]

You should also add Chapter 10 B and 11 A to the list

[@hanafuda]

I finally beat this fucking chapter, now onto the Gaiden… oh… fuck, disappearing platforms again?

[@olixleon]

Once i found out the requirements for the 3rd divine weapon I gave up trying to get any 'good' ending

[@carlosjuarez6675]

I mean it's hard but not impossible.

[@NekoKitsuneOfChaos]

Fire emblem the game where the rng, for of war chapters, bosses with long ranged weapons and chapter where you have to protect weak units make you want to rage quit

[@TheVectorSilver]

Chapter 12, I bullshit it. I really rushed through the map to get to the end and I was also trying to recruit Cath but, I realized, my only mage was a weak Lillina and Roy had my Wyrmslayer so I had to carry him back. I messed up but, I had a save on the virtualboyadvance to restart the process easily.

[@hydraphobic_6398]

Much pain was had during my own play-through of this game. Still one of my favorite series's. Also, what is the name of that song used in the outro?

[@paulman34340]

I know I'm getting tedious now, but I just had a thought, It's likely that they may just remove the gaiden chapter's and make them mandatory chapter's if they feel like it, but then the remake of Mystery of the Fire Emblem Book 2 still had the whole collect all the gemstones for the fire emblem before fighting Hardin or you no get the final few chapter's so maybe. who knows, I'd go with the first option of just removing the bad ending and making the weapon collecting chapter's mandatory even though I'd love just having the option to get them anytime I wish if I unlock the requirements and the requirements being abit more forgiving to tell you the truth

[@lanthelancer]

I am terrible at strategy, so my tactic is to grind my characters up to very high levels and then just blast through all the enemies in the game. That is why Binding Blade was so difficult for me, there was no way to grind! By the end of the game the only units I had left were Roy and Lilina.

[@wongabonga7735]

U could grind at the arena if u had enough money

[@martyslazas2168]

Cannibal Candy I guess where the same lmao

[@VarthRock]

Yo Git, what would be your less favorite level from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones?

[@whoisthisgit]

MrVargasProductions Hard to say, none of them have ever given me serious trouble. The Phantom Ship came close, but I love the atmosphere of that level. I suppose I hate chapter 14 on both routes the msot. Ephraim's because of the Berserk staff users, and Eirika's because the design of the level make it take ages to collect everything. Doesn't help that both chapters have very strong bosses.

[@carbon6111]

whoisthisgit I fucking hated that Swordmaster. It took me several attempts to get everything and once I finally got to him...He killed Joshua...I'm-I'm not-I'm NOT crying.

[@thebermangrit8815]

I personally hate Chapter 6, the first Fog of War chapter due to almost being timed by the Bael and Citizens if you wanted to get the Orion's Bolt.

[@ravenbro9624]

+TheGermanBritish Guy send Seth to rescue them, enemies won't stand a chance and you'll get there in no time

[@thebermangrit8815]

Giant Enemy Crab​ I don't use Seth. Despite how good he apparently is, I don't use him since I never use the Jagen character.

[@paulman34340]

I feel like I'm the only person to tolerate Battle before dawn (and the only one who missed Fog of War maps, I use to hate them at first but grew to love them overtime hence I was sad when they disappeared after Radiant Dawn)

[@domicraft6341]

Have you played FE5 by now? I'm just interested. And oh yes this chapter sucked. And I can't understand that they didn't considered to give Sophia at least a level close to promotion. And... at least a chance of doubling. She is supposed to be a halfdragon after all.

[@Vrap66]

So im playing through Binding Blade (or Sword of Seals as my translation puts it), and im so deading this chapter.

[@dranoelagunias5652]

My worst level at first was from Mario & Luigi:Bowser's Inside Story when your have to save Peach from the 'Megabites' in the Flab Zone.My problem was that i didn't know they could switch around & i always kept hitting fakes*sigh*thankfully i got past him.

[@dranoelagunias5652]

But my New worst level is that first star-mage thingy,i can dodge the attacks easily,BUT THE CHANGE METER DROVE ME INSANE!!!!! IT LOOKS SO WEAK,BUT SO STRONG!!!!!!! I also had a problem in Dream Team where i had to beat the boss in i think 5 turns*sigh*[this seems like more boss-realeted then level related,lol.]

[@sagefurry]

This map is gonna be hell for me, I have a rule that NO UNIT can die. And I'm not dropping that rule. Crap.
