The Bow of Swift Wind (Japanese: 疾風の弓 Gale Bow) is Chapter 20Bx of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. In order to play this chapter, the previous chapter must have been completed within 25 turns, and Sue, Sin, and Dayan must have been recruited and must be alive.

Plot

Main article: The Bow of Swift Wind/Script

Roy enters ruins in Sacae to retrieve the legendary bow Mulagir. Sin explains that this bow was wielded by Hanon of the Eight Legends during the Scouring. Although the remains of the Djute have laid traps around the ruins, the Etrurian Army defeat them regardless and obtains Mulagir without issue.

After the battle, Roy pens a letter to Yoder to inform him of all Roy has learned about dragons from Niime. He gives the letter to Merlinus to read, and Guinivere arrives in his absence. The two continue their previous conversation in privacy.

She tells him that her father was jealous of Zephiel's talents because he was so ordinary, and wished to prevent Zephiel's ascension, going so far as to promise Bern's throne to Guinivere's future husband. Yet the people of Bern wished for Zephiel to become king, motivating Desmond to attempt to murder his son.

Desmond gave Zephiel a poisoned drink at a banquet. For ten days, Zephiel fell ill and only survived thanks to Murdock's aid. Somehow, Zephiel learned of Desmond's plans to murder anyone Zephiel held dear, including his mother and Murdock, so Zephiel faked his own demise. During the funeral, when Desmond went to view Zephiel's body, Zephiel jumped from the coffin with a sword in hand, killing his father. Since that moment, Zephiel never smiled again. Though Guinivere misses the kind brother she once knew, she asks Roy to put a stop to Zephiel's plans. Roy answers that he may need his sword to do so, which Guinivere accepts.

Reinforcements

Each trap gate that Roy seizes produces a number of reinforcements. Because one of the six gates ends the chapter, only up to five of the six sets of reinforcements can possibly be activated at once.

• Upon seizing the northeast, southeast, southernmost, or northernmost gates
  • 2 Myrmidons (one with a Vulnerary), 1 Shaman with Flux, 1 Shaman with Nosferatu, and 2 Nomads (one with a Vulnerary) from the respective gate
• Upon seizing the middle gate
  • 2 Myrmidons (one with a Vulnerary), 1 Shaman with Flux, and 2 Nomads (one with a Vulnerary) from the gate
• Upon seizing the easternmost gate
  • 2 Myrmidons (one with a Vulnerary), 1 Shaman with Flux, 1 Shaman with Nosferatu, and 1 Nomad with a Vulnerary from the gate

Strategy

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

You only need to seize one specific gate to clear this chapter, but finding the right gate takes some trial and error. However, every time Roy seizes the wrong gate, reinforcements will show up.

Your army is split up from the start. Make sure the group on the top left is slightly stronger than the others. Use this group to either approach the gates at the bottom or support the central group. With Roy's group, include characters that can cross the river (like Pirates, Heroes, Swordmasters, and Nomads) to avoid detours. Don't neglect the team at the bottom. Decide whether they'll support Roy's group, head straight to the gates, or engage the Dragon Riders.

Be cautious with weaker units like clerics. Enemies have big movement ranges, and they can easily target your vulnerable units. It's recommended to use promoted characters with high evasion or carry multiple Vulneraries. Watch out for enemy Nomads — they have the ability to cross rivers, and some will certainly attempt it.

For the boss, it could be any character with a "face" icon. First, prioritize eliminating moving enemies. When facing Nomads, engage them up close so they can't counterattack. After attacking, you can rescue your unit, retreat, and then attack again. For Druids, use characters with strong attack and speed, and use Pure Waters. Make sure you have more than one Restore between multiple healers.
