Go follow your girlfriend, Rolf.

And not think about your other brother dying.

Chapter 5: Oh Boyd, somebody else is about to die.

Haha, starting off strong, I see! XD
Been looking forward to it! Glad to see it's back!
But don't take this the wrong way. Take as long as you need with these! After all, making an LP should be as much, if not more fun for you as it is for us!

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

And FE fans wonder why almost every FE father has to die. They've just outlived their usefulness.

Cruel, but not untrue. XD

Draggy is secretly a bloodthirsty villain confirmed. xD

Crap, my secret is out!

This one never fails to make me laugh. XD

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Titania a bloodthirsty villain too?

Yeees! Mwa-hahaha!

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Welcome back! Time for the next chapter of my "I hope I don't get softlocked" Ike solo of Path of Radiance hard mode!

Yay! *clap, clap, clap, clap*

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Looks like Greil and Ike are sparring.

Ike trying to get more training in. He's very dilligent like that.
Which is good. After all, he's fighting all alone.

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

And what do I spy in Titania's hand?!

An axe? *tsk tsk*

Where did she get that from, I wonder?
... Well, with so many bandits around, maybe she class-changed to Thief for a bit and hacked in the ability to steal weapons? Villains can do that!

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Uh, her hands are still stuck that way, so I wouldn't say she's fine.

That, or she confused the soap with superglue while washing them...

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

His mercs really are the Holy Greil of all merc groups.

*Draggy laughing his butt off in the corner*

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Don't expect any response. The last time Ike was thanked by a girl, he practically stood there like a statue.

That is some epic foreshadowing right there.

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Casually having a conversation while Elincia's hands are still in "resting in coffin" position.

Yep, it's superglue. I knew it.
Alright, fess up! Who did it?

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

His senility comes and goes. At least he can follow a line of logic.

But give him a couple of chapters. That senility will come back to impale bite him.

Oh boy!

I have some thoughts on Greil's death, but more on that when we actually get there!
No worries, it's nothing negative.

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

aMopuTlU_o.png

Ike, get ready. Looks like she's about to faint again.

"Titania, get ready!"
"Still injured, you..."

That aside, damn, Ashnard is ruthless. No prisoners, just killed them outright so they can't come back later and retake their kingdom...
That's an effective villain right there!
It's too bad he missed one, though...

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

rv5ix6Cl_o.pngfy9oqKey_o.png

Who we never see, actually.

I don't know about you, but the amount of dead bodies we're already seeing in this game (and this playthrough in particular) is quite enough. XD

Channeling Felicia?

Hipster Rolf we've-got-trouble'd before it was cool!

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Oh, well you could've just said that in a single text box instead of keeping me in suspense until the next one appeared.

Smh.

How very inconsiderate!

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Oh, look at that. Three men against an army, two unarmed at that.

I like my odds

One of them is Ike.
So...

9 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Pretty simple strategy for this chapter. Just have Ike camp on the healing tile and let the other units just hang around nearby.

I think the defend maps are the ones you need to worry about the least when doing a solo run.
Because you can just do this.

10 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Oh, Boyd. Looks like it's the end for him.

*singing*
Another one bites the dust! 🎵

10 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

And yes, Ike. I think resisting the Daein army and killing their soldiers would antagonize them quite a bit.

He's a bit slow on the uptake today, I see.
Must be the exhaustion.

10 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

"Please," Ike. "Please go to the mess hall."

Smh, did Greil not teach you any manners?

He forgot due to him being senile.

10 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

Where's Rhys when you need--

Oh.

10 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

QwpjiGf2_o.png

The reports of the mercs numbers have been greatly exaggerated.

To be fair, Ike is strong enough to pass for an entire group.
Also, yay, Ena! One of my personal favorite Tellius characters.
And no it's not just because she's a dragon.

10 hours ago, twilitfalchion said:

This was a bit of a shorter update, but I hope you enjoy it all the same.

I did! Thank you very much!

Looking forward to the next one!

Alright, fess up! Who did it?

My bet would be on Soren. He doesn't want anyone to get in the way of him and Ike.

I have some thoughts on Greil's death, but more on that when we actually get there!
No worries, it's nothing negative.

I'm interested to hear them, definitely.

"Titania, get ready!"

Chapter 6:

wL9I06HE_o.png

Welcome back! Time for the next chapter!

LocEb627_o.png3L4qeCU7_o.png

relatable.gif

I hate the heat and humidity as well, Mist.

9wMotDzV_o.png

Throwing the S word out there, eh?

Even Titania looks annoyed at him for saying that.

jXqYllm0_o.png

No, no they're not, Ike. Don't listen to your wannabe lover tactician.

Bfa94aem_o.pngxym9T0Gv_o.png

I've always wondered...are manaketes and dragon laguz the same? Or are manaketes a different variation of dragon/human hybrids?

F3oh83tw_o.png

Much to the relief of everyone, I'd guess.

SxR3PlLa_o.png

Change of scene to the female member of Daein's Four Riders, Petrine, receiving news of the Greil Mercs' escape in the last chapter.

pqspyP38_o.png

o56v1lJy_o.pngHyMclS1k_o.png

Interestingly enough, Petrine is one of the most strongly anti-laguz Daeins in the Tellius arc, yet she holds a noteworthy respect for Ena.

Thank you for pointing that out, FE Wiki.

7Fmlgc2B_o.png

Everyone, Greil? The only one left is Ike.

Or is your senility kicking in?

iCXKIIao_o.png

Wishful thinking, Titania.

ACTnSXm5_o.png

Use Ike. Simple enough, no?

rnX5XFVi_o.pngXHZd2ddz_o.png

r0PPaCo7_o.png

So...Greil and Gatrie in one group, and Ike for the rest. Sounds good.

J7uTHrnJ_o.png

This is Tellius. There are no ambush spawns!

Pn48XacF_o.pngcMHJc7aN_o.png

Oh, Gatrie...how wonderful it would be if you died disappeared.

Bij3Ttnf_o.png4E3Iilq4_o.png

Ike's the only one left, man. If he died, it'd be game over anyway.

t3f4Uztb_o.png

That's a really good line.

q7iyuAOF_o.png

Having the injured woman supporting, eh Greil? Nice one.

ZZvdt4Ci_o.png

That do be the map.

uLh858Zb_o.pnglRJaqYFQ_o.png

Don't worry Soren. You won't have to do anything, not that you could anyway.

FXldr7DT_o.pngmTJOtwfW_o.png

"We?"

XtLusGEz_o.png

Ever the decisive one, Ike is.

E2wuth73_o.png

Aww, that's sweet...if terribly risky.

And against the rules of this run.

Sorry, Elincia.

gQYfitis_o.pngidZk9yeN_o.png

Could've said that a touch more gently, but he's right.

WZ4yeuXO_o.png

Fleeing with everyone else, yes you will.

hjby7WZQ_o.pngQNQbjlLM_o.png

How cute, Rolf.

WIyAymky_o.png

Following your father's example, I see. Having an injured woman protect other people.

For shame.

mPhBDs0d_o.pngkhUDjsyH_o.png

Everyone meaning you, Ike.

Let's get started!

blCf9aEv_o.pngUEKgtFhn_o.png

Only one unit left, but he's a good unit. That def could use some work though.

Let's see what the next few level ups have for him.

P9UMYajI_o.pngiPreGtwX_o.png

First move is to try to draw the enemies over to Ike, but when that doesn't work, I go for a much more direct approach.

hO73EvRI_o.pngXUQpnP30_o.png

And I kind of pay for that, since Ike takes hits from both of those soldiers.

EchWkgUX_o.png

But Ike gets a good level up out of it, so it's not too bad.

I really want to see that defense go up though.

li4VQ8ch_o.png

After taking those hits, I pull Ike back into the woods and give him a vulnerary to heal up.

hlhW5Dgs_o.pnga5E9zjZl_o.png

Ike's pretty fast already, but the woods gives him that extra avoid to make him nearly untouchable.

RFKxLTIE_o.png

I did say nearly untouchable, didn't I?

7Eqpto0I_o.pngut0Ebm5c_o.png

Some misses and Ike finishes off the axe cavalier.

0 hit against him, haha.

0gqi4Vvv_o.pngaSxqhTUv_o.png

Still, that extra avoid comes in handy when Ike can dodge even myrms and magic.

KjKNYu9g_o.pngVFQKM9Sl_o.png

The enemy falls back to heal, and Ike goes to end that mage.

rf8ZdjEM_o.png

And then he goes and lands a beautiful crit on that myrm.

For once I was fast enough to screenshot a bit of the flash from it.

sYLXWusK_o.pngboze21Wk_o.png

I pull out the steel sword to ORKO this soldier, and then switch back to iron to kill that archer.

AeC6Pwbc_o.pngPgINZcbK_o.png

I give Ike a vulnerary and scope out the right side of the bridge to see what I can expect as I advance.

tvuSBzvd_o.png64HTAf1b_o.png

First soldier goes down, and the axe cav takes a beating.

lMXoKw73_o.pngei2UO84x_o.png

Ike gets another level up. Not too shabby. Speed and defense are always good, and HP is a nice bonus.

Axe cav meets his end very quickly.

RcNuCtxL_o.pngXGZ9mb0D_o.png

Another lance soldier goes down, and Ike dodges a javelin thrown his way.

0oCpnTQj_o.pngz47xOCTu_o.png

Ike lands another beautiful crit and downs the armor knight in one go, and takes a single point of damage from an archer.

06pc9sag_o.pngRysNoCM4_o.png

Ike crit count: 3

And the cleric there heals his archer buddy that Ike failed to kill with an iron sword.

54kQAXqR_o.pngEJSkw1WR_o.png

A mage tries to go after Ike, but they might as well not have since Ike immediately destroys them afterwards.

JtRatCTY_o.png2B74G2Db_o.png

Ike uses the extra power of the steel sword to end the archer, but it isn't quite enough to down that lance soldier.

jetXWWSX_o.pngBdwlDx8p_o.png

Ike nabs another good level up and goes to kill that soldier in front of the cleric.

64UYzN4M_o.png31On5VQM_o.png

Soldier goes down, and the cleric follows suit.

Ngl, I always feel a bit bad for killing unarmed units, but eh...I want the EXP more.

VWzS7SX6_o.pngSewRdBgH_o.png

And it makes it even worse when they recoil so strongly from Ike's attacks.

Anyway, Ike chugs another vulnerary before going to kill the boss and the remaining enemies.

g5thSq4M_o.pngNa5PbFw5_o.png

Make that two vulneraries. Just in case.

And Ike's defense stat is good enough that he doesn't take any damage from iron bows now. Nice.

2KifybxD_o.pngf4O9wwk6_o.png

Some more dodging, some more killing.

uxg4yrXJ_o.pngmr0tjWNc_o.png

Even more dodging, and even more hitting. Using the Regal Sword doesn't crit though, so the armor knight survives.

gPW0CChV_o.pngJFP00h6H_o.png

Armor knight goes down and Ike gets a chance to clear out the rest of the pesky archers.

JETLNOsH_o.png

genocIke.png

xG7Vp4ZH_o.png

HAHAHAHAHA!

YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME?!

tJ37W9cR_o.png

HECK YEAH THAT'S AN AWESOME COMEBACK!

h8F6RwQF_o.png

One last level up for this chapter after Ike dodges that short spear. Nice.

Some statboosters I find along the way will patch up that res and defense.

SB4MLags_o.png

I decide to pull out the Regal Sword again and hope for a crit, but no such luck.

bYDcekay_o.png

And down he goes!

ui77Tpdq_o.png

Nah, don't think so.

640AktmF_o.png6qOJaH8F_o.png

The last soldier puts up a bit of a fight, but it's not enough.

kQ0lcN67_o.png

Stepping over the last body, Ike escapes, having committed yet another massacre so early in his young life.

Rj35KTDD_o.png

Indeed.

rTKbQ4r7_o.png

I guess Ike is too modest to realize how great he is, or he's just that dense.

ANRoIzyd_o.png

It's always so cute when she calls him that.

9ZMe1fXJ_o.png

You should. I would feel pretty safe if I had a one man army with me all the time.

kikesuQG_o.png

Uh...is she gonna faint again?

qIiSHrRm_o.png

Napping while standing up is a very unique skill, one that Elincia appears to have mastered.

GkhvrJKJ_o.png

And she's awake again, just like that.

4qV3B6OJ_o.pngYg7zyxcx_o.png

Parting ways once again, Ike goes to help his father out. And Gatrie as well, I guess.

IqJ0iLmq_o.png

Apparently being that dense runs in the family.

lvbrqehb_o.png

O kawaii koto.

9EtovHdr_o.png

And that's it. Thanks for reading! See you next update!

Speaking of one of the parentless that assumes the worst in Laguz, unless they prove otherwise like with Ena.

This is basically the most average Ike ever, funnily enough. Skill +2, HP +1.5 (ncluding Seraph robe) and speed+1, everything else average. The next level should get, (rounding up) Hp, Luck, Def, Res.

I genuinely do sympathize with Soren.

Tbh, I don't see his hatred for the laguz as being racism as much as it is a resentment against his own people for rejecting him, given that he is a Branded.

If only he were willing to follow his own advice.

Good point.

That is the kinda level he really needed.

Definitely.

Ike is getting close to that 20 cap, soon he is going to be simply spinning his wheels until the end of 17-4

Which is why I'll be speeding through the chapters whenever possible on maps that aren't rout-fests.

Unfortunately, Ch. 7 is not one of those maps.

Chapter 7:

u7XNWpPL_o.png

Welcome to the next update for this LP!

Thanks for keeping up with it. I really appreciate the replies.

GlbbtVf5_o.pngthTojRgz_o.png

Ike and Soren just chatting in the woods about what to do next. Looks they've agreed to retreat and wait for Greil and Gatrie to return.

jWb3aqzJ_o.png26Is6rQq_o.png

Or not.

So much for listening to your tactician, Ike.

pf4jHNVz_o.pngt8iNQTex_o.png

Cue "it's quiet, too quiet" comment.

tu7SXjNz_o.png2a5StIZP_o.png

Surprise, surprise.

Should've headed back home, Ike.

Well at least we're not alone, right? Right?

b5KLlqgS_o.png

Yep, such is the way of solo runs.

slCG3Vb2_o.png

Fair warning, this map is a lot of camping and countering, so I'll be posting the highlights rather than posting every single fight.

Hope that's okay. Can't imagine you all would want to read/watch through each encounter.

YHeBQ6Co_o.png5lNStIGg_o.png

Enter best Tellius swordgirl.

bD2soaOX_o.png

The bane of enemies' existence in RD...

I mean, Mia. Yeah, Mia.

a7xWW3O3_o.png0snnISq1_o.png

You getting a free iron sword, of course!

And another body to add to the pile of corpses already there.

piBJKq0K_o.pngbCPAHNPt_o.png

You giving me your iron sword. That's what.

aKcKvyta_o.png

Ayup.

4npA4iJ9_o.png

After a while of fighting, Ike gets his last level up for a good, long stretch of the game.

Would've liked some more strength, but defense and everything isn't half bad either.

There'll be some stat boosters in the coming chapters as well.

5NUURxTi_o.pngZBIHTg4K_o.png

All that bluster and Ike's only response is "who are you?" xD

GQyY48iQ_o.pngFO5cBodJ_o.png

I swear. Ike's bluntness is comedy gold.

Petrine was certainly never one to mince words either. She prefers to mince people instead.

AnJ4bE8k_o.pngHCbOaOxp_o.png

And Greil popping in with more great lines.

h8UZUYtv_o.pngtqZ1ZB8W_o.png

Thanks for the affirmation, Dad. I'm so glad you'll be around for a long time, so we can continue on this path of being mercenaries together.

Calls him a sellsword.

Big brain Petrine.

Greil the ladies man.

v0Sbn99C_o.png

Oh, I don't think so.

US1QYiKU_o.pngfK3ukXgs_o.png

So yeah, strategy for the rest of the chapter was to camp and down them one by one.

killingeverylastoneofthem.png

--------

Both Mia and Gatrie were added to the pile of bodies.

F for swordgirl.

Nobody cares about Gatrie.

bUfMSHp9_o.pngXJFWvrq0_o.png

So after clearing out the place, Ike goes up against the boss of the map, a mage.

DBYy5gVo_o.png

A beautiful crit later, and the boss is dead.

ryjA3mqy_o.pngN4maYaNN_o.png

And after clearing out the last few enemies, the map is over.

Looks like Greil and Petrine are duking it out.

Don't worry, Ike. He's got the weapon triangle advantage.

pdlxF9zB_o.png

Looks like it.

qc9kPNnj_o.png

Or not.

mAlNstf9_o.png

Indeed. Well-played, Petrine.

BZpo9vwA_o.pngvo6W1PgF_o.png

If we're going down, we're going down together, Dad!

wHYYDvSz_o.png

The sound of your stomach rumbling? It has been a while since you last ate, Ike.

tasWFZYj_o.pngXcsAZA9S_o.png

That's a risk they're willing to take, apparently.

ipR66vHf_o.pngzosuXbMu_o.png

I'd listen to them if I were you. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of their c h o m p c h o m p.

ir1tqhOL_o.png7BqjKxOT_o.png

Always watch out for the big guy in heavy armor carrying a beastly sword.

wtMy2VoA_o.pngAcDVUYhO_o.png

Yes, yes. All is well since Ike was there to save the day.

Oh, and Elincia still has the superglue on her hands, I see.

TeeWziBJ_o.pngcx87cLgk_o.png

Way to step on some toes, Ike.

OFJxFQyn_o.pngHDFkqDwz_o.png

Nice save.

NSnoYEQ6_o.png7EZCL1Jv_o.png

A bit of story exposition.

Would you say you're lost in thoughts, all alone, Elincia?

I'll see myself out now.

cUMux7o4_o.png

Rest of your men?

laughs in almost everyone being dead

MYZrCZpB_o.png3xaANFmL_o.png

Uh oh. Looks like Greil's senility is kicking back in.

EJ4GFqWs_o.pngcowI7Ybs_o.png

At the sound of food, Ike is already imagining what delicious meats he can down as fast as possible.

RAnqPLaT_o.png

Little convo between father and son, with a sassy retort from Ike.

And Greil suddenly moves the conversation to being about Elena.

nSD6Iojk_o.pnghATZT33u_o.png

There's a lot more to unpack about Greil and Elena's relationship than just that, but that's for another game, no?

After a brief separation following their conversation, Ike decides to tail his father into the woods, only to find him locked in battle with Zelg-I mean, the Black Knight.

Yeah, the Black Knight.

That's some creative liberty the translators took with these lines. Especially the one about Mist.

That wasn't even present in the Japanese version, at all.

Unfortunately, I don't think you're in a position to put up any resistance, Greil.

I don't know why you would. You're OP in both PoR and RD.

RTRZWlAB_o.png

Beam him up, Scotty!

sPnHf7QM_o.pngSC6kQdUN_o.png

Probably one of the most memorable deaths in any FE game, for me at least.

Greil was and is my favorite father in the series, despite him meeting the same fate that almost every other FE father has met.

F for best dad.

KhQNZgv6_o.pngqyitxyeM_o.png

Yes. Yes you will. Single-handedly.

And that's the end of the chapter.

Thanks for reading! See you next time!

Y'know, maybe I'm a bit weird, but I've always appreciated older style FMVs like in Path of Radiance, cringe voice acting and all.

I mean... they had a style to them. Besides, who am I to judge? I read comics from before WWII was a thing.... and a lot of them have questionable quality (people were drawing on larger boards and not quite sure how it'd look when shrunk down to the comic page, resulting in either clutter or an image that looked like it was drawn to be read with a magnifying glass). Also a lot of the mechanics of a comic hadn't developed. For instance, in the "Invisible Man Known as Dr. Gade", they hadn't thought of thought bubbles, and would simply put "(thinking)" or "(loud)" at the start of speech bubbles... which gave the comedic effect of a character who seemed to think that saying "thinking" prior to a statement meant no one could hear him monologue.

The first of many, many vulneraries Ike will be chugging in the early game.

I think he might need an intervention post game. This is borderline substance abuse.

Hey! Making Boyd feel self-conscious is Mist's job!

If he can break his axe without even getting into a fight all chapter... he deserves to be mocked.

It's not like she's had much work since the boss's son went on a killing spree at the last mission.

Or during said spree.

Why is it that Revali is basically Shinon and Falco combined into a half-way point?

Well, nevermind. He's about to be dead anyway.

I think it's an attempt at being insulting. A weak one seeing as he's about to die.

 

For whatever reason, my browser's decided it doesn't want to quote anymore... so I'll leave chapters 6 and 7 for a bit (I read 5, but couldn't quote to make a comment about it)

Thanks for the affirmation, Dad. I'm so glad you'll be around for a long time, so we can continue on this path of being mercenaries together.

Sees the man carrying an axe.

Calls him a sellsword.

Big brain Petrine.

Did she figure out who he was and thus she's actually being clever?

Also this screenshot could be full of so many impications (also, who would win between Greil and Ashnard?)

This sentence reads weird.

Like it's supposed to be the opposite, that Ike can't learn it all at once.

Odd to see a typo from 15 years ago I missed 2 years ago.

Both Mia and Gatrie were added to the pile of bodies.

F for swordgirl.

Nobody cares about Gatrie.

RIP the last of the Greil mercenaries, now only Ike remains.

Also your assessment is ridiculous, Gatrie is fairly beloved in the community for that time he dated a tree in a skirt

It certainly made him a more monstrous and over the top villain. Plus if we are going to comment on the liberties of translators, all  the Elincia-Ike romance/chemistry was on them, as the original Japanese had them as dull and businesslike as in RD.

Fair warning, this map is a lot of camping and countering, so I'll be posting the highlights rather than posting every single fight.

Hope that's okay. Can't imagine you all would want to read/watch through each encounter.

I am fine with the highlight approach, but this made the map fell a little too abbreviated for my taste. A few pictures of the situation on the map every couple of turns or so would be appreciated.

Guess we do have a crit counter after all. Cool. Never mind my suggestion elsewhere.

So yeah, strategy for the rest of the chapter was to camp and down them one by one.

My two best units from my last run died on the same map here. What a twist. Guess Ike's the "Greil Mercenary" now, seeing as there's no one else left.

Always wondered why Black Knight was just a blackguard in this game. Go figure.

Because he realizes the game ending here would be really anti-climatic.
