A Mystery Revealed (Japanese: 明かされた謎 Revealed Mystery) is the fourteenth chapter of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem Book II and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem.

Plot

Main articles: A Mystery Revealed/Script and A Mystery Revealed/Conversations

Marth finally reaches the interior of the Ice Dragon Temple. Xane recalls to him the story of Anri, who obtained the Falchion here, and the story of the curse of the Fire Emblem. Marth's army then starts fighting the dragons in the temple, and Marth meets with Gotoh. Gotoh gives Marth the Lightsphere; if Marth brings all the Astral Shards, Gotoh gives him the Starsphere as well, and says that Tiki – who is sleeping in the temple – can safely awaken. With both the Starsphere and Lightsphere, Marth can talk to Tiki, and she begs him not to let her sleep again, as she wants to live with others; she then joins Marth's army.

Once the battle is over, Gotoh tells him that Gharnef's spirit is within the Darksphere and is helping to corrupt Hardin while carrying out some evil plans. Gotoh then teleports Marth's army to Altea.

Strategy

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

This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


  • The center tower will open when Marth approaches it, the west tower will open when Marth approaches it with the Lightsphere, and the right tower will open when he approaches it with both the Lightsphere and Starsphere.
  • Warp is required in order to access the secret shop.
  • Make sure to get the Anew staff, as it can make the final fight drastically easier.
