Location Mercenary Fortress New units Severa Boss(es) Nelson

“	All this grief over something so small...Once I get what I came for, I'm out of here. Maybe I can convince Holland to come with me.	”	— Severa

Ambivalence is the tenth paralogue chapter in Fire Emblem Awakening. As a paralogue chapter, its events are not integral to the game's main storyline and can be done at the player's leisure. The chapter is unlocked after both clearing Chapter 13 and having Cordelia married. There are no additional requirements to reach the chapter, as the chapter connects to the areas Chapters 10 and 13 took place at.

In this chapter, the Shepherds are out to stop a mercenary leader, who just happens to be a former Valmese general, from ravaging innocent lives. Within this conflict is a mercenary wanting out wanting to take an expecting father out with her as well as to recover something taken from her; it turns out the mercenary wanting out is the daughter of a very heartbroken Shepherd.

Plot

Main article: Ambivalence/Script

Chrom overhears two villagers worrying about a problem; when he interjects and introduces himself, they recognize his name and decide to ask for his help. Elsewhere, inside a fortress, a soldier informs Nelson that soldiers led by Chrom are approaching; Nelson prepares for battle, and expressly reminds Severa and Holland that it is in their best interest to serve him. As the battle starts, Chrom identifies the castle, and resolves to reclaim the villager's stolen goods. Severa laments that she must serve Nelson, and wonders if she can convince Holland to leave with her once this is done.

If Chrom talks to Severa, she recognizes him as Lucina's father, and he concludes that she is a child from the future. Chrom offers that she join him, but she states she cannot until she reclaims something Nelson stole from her; Chrom offers to help her, and she says they must help Holland as well. If Cordelia talks to Severa, she instantly recognizes Cordelia, and responds snappily to her; she demands that Cordelia protect her as she talks to Holland, and states she may help afterward.

After speaking with Chrom or Cordelia, Severa begins moving to talk to Holland. If Severa does talk to Holland, he laments that his pregnant wife needs the money Nelson provides him, but Severa convinces him that his wife and unborn child would be hurt worse if he were to die here, and he leaves.

After the battle, if Severa spoke to Holland and survived, she reclaims her ring from Nelson; Cordelia arrives and speaks with Severa, though Severa's responses are stand-offish. Cordelia then notices that her ring matches the one Severa reclaimed, and concludes that Severa is her daughter from the future. Severa is upset that Cordelia fought and died in the future and left her alone, stating that she chose Chrom over her; Cordelia states that she probably fought and died for Severa, and promises to not leave her again.

Strategy

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

In order to recruit Severa, she must get to Holland and talk to him. Once he leaves the map, Severa becomes playable. In the event that Holland dies, Severa will no longer be recruitable and become a hostile enemy unit.

The escort mission can be rather tedious if Cordelia and her spouse are not well leveled, especially for Severa as she will make no attempt to stay out of attack ranges or magic.

Trivia

• Nelson's underlings are identified as Ruffians in their enemy profiles, yet are identified as Valmese in the faction/alignment count. This may be due to their leader being a former Valmese general and thus identified by the game as such, and may or may not reflect on the true nationalities of his underlings. This is similar to, albeit slightly less severe than, a situation in Chapter 4, where enemies labeled Feroxi are implied to be foreigners, and that chapter's boss was decidedly not Feroxi.
• This chapter is one of two paralogue chapters in Awakening, along with A Shot from the Dark, where the child character is not recruited by talking with either Chrom or their fixed parent (in this case, Cordelia) in the chapter they are recruited in.
