Jaybee Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I swear, this is the hardest challenge I've done so far. FE8, forced only. Ch4 goes from lol to hard, C5 is hell, and I don't wanna try till the route split. I'm already having trouble trying to stop Eirika from killing Joshua. ARGH!

Aurabolt Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I've done this myself. Just use Seth as a meat shield until you kill the boss =D Myrrh, Saleh and Duessel prettymuch replace Seth for that after the split. Lyon requires planning a good 5 steps ahead as he can OHKO several people if he gets lucky. The Demon King should not be fought by anyone who doesn't have one of the special weapons and you're definitely gonna have to sacrifice some people to win. This is what I like about Fire Emblem in general: When you lose someone, they're gone forever. In Sacred Stones, when you lose people it can completely change the dynamic of the battle. My first runthrough I only had Eirika, Ephraim, Forde, Ross, Innes, Saleh and Duessel at the end (...yeah, I know XD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Forced only Seth isn't forced. It means only Eirika and Artur for C4, Eirika , Natasha and Joshua for C5 and Eirika soloes C6 and C7. You don't need to sacrifice - Hit Formortiis with 3 Sacred Twins and he's done for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonBladeSniper Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I thought people already did a lord solo... I'm guessing this is harder. So which route will you take? Any abuse aloud (not that it'll help much)? Stat boosting items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Stat boosters - Obviously allowed. Abuse - No. Which means if I go Eph route he's soloing Gheb at level 8. Lord solo is easy on RD or PoR since Sothe and Ike can solo early maps and Ike's there throughout. Ephraim's the better char, but Eirika's route is easier... I think I'll go Eirika so that Duessel can solo the desert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Nick Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm already having trouble trying to stop Eirika from killing Joshua. If its a forced playthough, why even bother trying to keep Josh alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel M Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Just go around him and kill the boss. The other side of the fence I mean. At least you have Natasha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm also doing the standard "Get everyone" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonBladeSniper Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm also doing the standard "Get everyone" thing. Does that mean you'll even bring non-forced units just to recruit other units? Because I find that'd ruin the point a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurabolt Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 My point exactly. And Ch. 4 is more fun when you have to fight Joshua. Remember: He won't attack Natasha so keep her just outside he movement range so he doesn't accidentally clash with someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 He does attack Natasha. Also, Artur and Natasha are forced for 4 & 5 respectively. I doubt I'll be able to even defeat Tirado... Only person I won't be able to recruit is Rennac. And Syrene, but fuck them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 He does attack Natasha. Only if you're playing the japanese version for some weird reason. I'd know, since I always place Natasha in that forest square near Joshua and he never tried to attack her. The only time where I saw him do it was in a video of the japanese version.

Jaybee Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'm playing English... I've tried. Natasha died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I doubt I'll be able to even defeat Tirado... Ephraim is forced on the map, and at worst 3HKOs with Reginleif. And Syrene, but fuck them. If she survives the chapter as a NPC she joins as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Great! Too bad she can't do much... Fuck Rennac. Does Tirado OHKO Eph at any point in time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Tirado has 13 str + 14 mt Silver Lance, Ephraim has 23 hp/7 def, so he'd need at least 3 str from HM bonuses to OHKO base Ephraim, never mind him leveling up or standing on a pillar. And even if he does, just make him switch to Javelin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardan Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 You can recruit Rennac if you talk to him with Ephraim (this costs a bit of gold though, 10K?). Tirado should be easy since you should have a high level Erika who should deal heavy damage with the rapier and Ephraim can also match up favourably with him as well.

Jaybee Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Ah, yes. Thanks. I always recruit him with L'Arachel though. I'm going Eirika route so that I don't get stuck with a fail Ephraim. 10000 is easy. I can get there by selling off axes.

DragonBladeSniper Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Why would you get stuck with a fail Ephraim? I'm guessing he means that he won't be able to do much with a base level Ephraim. You might have trouble with that Fog of War chapter since you only have Eirika. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted35362 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 "Since Seth's not forced"? Seth is overrated. I could do just fine without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardan Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 There's a couple of chapters before the route split where you have Ephraim, so you could always give him as many kills as possible to help strengthen him. I dunno, I honestly think Ephraim would be a better unit, since I think Erika will have alot of trouble with stuff like lance cavaliers and Knights, esp if they attack in groups.

Icon of Sin Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm guessing he means that he won't be able to do much with a base level Ephraim. You might have trouble with that Fog of War chapter since you only have Eirika. Use mountains, rapier on armors if necessary, don't care about the family being the spider's OMNOMNOM. Shouldn't be that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 1 more question: Should I deal with Carlyle or Vigarde? Since they're practically the toughest in the game... Fuck Morva Also, the main reason was the underleveled Eph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitherion Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Fighting Vigarde is probably safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
