Plot

Main article: Fire Emblem/Script

Marth makes his way into Aurelis Castle, where many treasures lie, although a thief would be required to liberate them. When the enemy general Emereus learns of Marth's presence, he immediately attempts to flee, but Marth and his comrades are able to oust Macedon's forces, cut down Emereus, and reclaim the castle. Afterwards, Princess Nyna of Archanea arrives to congratulate Marth for a job well done. She presents him with the Fire Emblem, a sacred treasure to be bestowed upon a champion who will save the world.

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

In this chapter, you get Rickard, a Thief who is generally inferior to Julian and should only be used if Julian is killed in battle. If you want to use Wolf and/or Sedgar, they should be reclassed immediately. Sedgar does very well as a Hero, where his growth rates in HP, Strength, Skill, Speed, and Defense all reach 80%, and as a General, where his growth rates in HP, Skill, and Defense all reach 100%. Wolf also makes a good General, with HP, Strength, Skill, and Defense growths above 90%.

Rickard should be swiftly recruited and sent to grab the first chest. Send your units to kill the first enemy Knight on turn 2. When the initial wave hits on turn 3, make sure to get the Curate. Watch out for the Cavalier with the Silver Lance; he is powerful enough to easily kill an unsuspecting unit and force an early restart. In order to prevent the Thieves from making off with your treasure, you're probably going to need to use Lena's Warp staff.
