FAQ

Fire Emblem Path of Radiance came out back in 2005 near the end of the Gamecube era in limited copies and it didn't sell very well. This game however received praise from Fire Emblem fans and video game critics. Now the price for this game goes up over $100 for a used copy and even more for a new copy.

There's no official word from the Nintendo company on whether or not the game will get a download release. Keep in mind that a Gamecube download release for the Wii U console may be announced sometime in the future.

Don't worry about it. If you built Ikes level up to 20 early on in the game. Then you'll have to wait until Chapter 17 when he will become a lord swordsman.

In the meantime, avoid using Ike as much as possible so your other characters can have a chance to gain experience points and they will automatically get promoted to a high class or you can use the master seal item if they are over level 10.

First go to option menu, then set the dialogue speed to Max, then set the game battle map speed to Max, then turn off the combat animation. Your game will speed up and you can get to story much quicker.

That depends on how hard you want the game to be, for most gaming beginners, choose easy mode, but if you want it more challenging, pick normal mode or hard mode.

You will unlock bonus features including Fixed Mode if you don't like Random Mode. You can listen to the soundtrack and look at art gallery pictures and watch CGI cutscene videos from the Fire Emblem game.

You cannot bring your characters back to life, once they die, they stay dead for the rest of the game which will make your game much harder to win in the long run.

If this happens and you don't want to continue your game without your character, then you can restart the entire chapter and try to be much more careful and not expose them too much to danger of getting killed.

Also if Ike dies at any point in the game, then it's game over and you have to start your chapter over.

There requirements in the chapter are different, for example you need to finish the game in a certain amount of turns, have less characters in battle or not kill certain enemies will net you experience bonus points.

Also you can do the boss abuse fight where you fight the boss without killing him or her. Then you can shove the priest over next to the boss and he will heal the boss. Allowing you to grind experience levels and weapon level usage.

This weapon has 4 attributes, strength, critical, hit rate, and weight.

It's best to spend money on raising your accuracy and the strength of your weapon. Or lower the strength and accuracy in order to allow for your character to raise your weapon up level E, D, C, B, A and S for the boss abuse fights.

Keep in this gets very expensive and you will run out of money very fast and you can only forge one weapon per chapter.

You should definitely use Volke as he can steal items and weapons and staves from enemies, he can unlock doors and open chests. Also Volke will later on upgrade to an Assassin

Avoid using Sothe at all times as he is a weak character for stealing items, gets killed in battle more easily and he doesn't upgrade to an Assassin.

The best character would be Reyson as he has poor movement and would allow him to catch up to his allies to boost a second turn for that character.

Ike and Mist will face off in a battle against the Black Knight. Ike will use the Ragnell Sword which can hurt the Black Knight.

To have a good chance of killing the Black Knight, have Ikes levels at a total of level 40, have Ike learn the skill Aether, then attack him using the Ragnell Sword and Have Elixirs for Ike to carry just in case he's hurt. Have Mist use Mend or Physic to heal Ikes HPs.

You have 6 turns to beat the Black Knight. If you kill the Black Knight you can recruit Nasir. But if you fail and die, you start Chapter 27 all over, if you give up and run away or fail to kill the Black Knight the story will continue but Nasir will die and you'll end up recruiting Ena instead.

Only Ike, Nasir, Ena, and Giffca, Tibarn, Naesala are capable of killing King Ashard.

Have Ike Nasir or Ena and one of the third Laguz members Giffca, Tibarn, Naesala close in on King Ashard. Then fight Ashard. But have Mist ready to heal your party members with Physic or Ashera Staff. Be careful King Ashard does not kill Ike or the other characters.

After you kill him you can enjoy the ending of the game.
