Anri's Way (Japanese: アンリの道 Anri's Way) is the eleventh chapter of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem Book II and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem.

Plot

Main articles: Anri's Way (chapter)/Script and Anri's Way (chapter)/Conversations

Marth's army begins to follow Anri's path through across the Mamorthod Desert towards the Tower of Thabes, in order to retrieve the Lightsphere with which to defeat Hardin. Jagen recounts the first part of the story of Anri: when the Holy Kingdom of Archanea was defeated by the dragon tribe, Princess Artemis took refuge in the small city of Altea. Hearing this, Duke Caldas of Altea raised a liberation army, meeting with success thanks to the Binding Shield. However, Medeus moved out and the tides turned against them. Gotoh told the army of the Falchion in the Ice Dragons' Temple to the north that could defeat Medeus, and Anri departed on the journey to retrieve it.

Marth and his army make their way to the Tower of Thabes, where they meet Xane, who briefly fools Marth with the guise of Tiki before revealing himself and promising to lead Marth to Gotoh.

New Mystery of the Emblem

As almost every tile on the map is either desert or impassable, units in flying or magic classes have an advantage in not being slowed by the terrain; reclassing strong units into flying or magic classes will grant them this benefit. The map features many dangerous Wyverns who have 12 movement, hit extremely hard, and are fast; on Lunatic, they have 20 speed, enough to double most if not all units. However, as flying units, they are weak to bows, Excalibur, and Shaver, and to anti-dragon weapons. On Lunatic, they will also have 1–2 range, instead of 1-range; however, this enables bow-users to wait at the edge of their ranges and kill them on retaliation—the wyverns with higher strength have 32 attack, so a unit needs a combined HP and defense of 33 to survive one hit. Wyverns require 52 physical damage or 47 magical damage to on-shot. Parthia reaches that benchmark on its might alone, though only Jeorge has the bow level to use it at base. Merric can also one-shot Wyverns with Excalibur at base, though he gets one-shot and cannot lure the Wyverns without bulk improvement—he is 2 points of HP or defense from withstanding a Wyvern with 17 strength, or 3 points from one with 18, which can be achieved with Astral Shards: Cancer provides +2 defense and Taurus provides +1. Alternately, forging extra might onto Silver or Glass Bows or to Shaver allows other units to reach one-shot thresholds, as each point of might forged onto an effective weapon is equivalent to 3 extra damage.

There are multiple Swordmasters with Meisterschwerts, whose high critical hit rates make them exceptionally dangerous. A strong flying unit could move from outside their range to attack them, but they require 59–61 attack to one-shot, making it unlikely without relying on a critical hit. Baiting them from the edge of their range is dangerous, as it requires surviving two strong attacks with high crit rates, but a high-defense unit—particularly one with a lance to negate their weapon level bonuses—may survive two attacks. When reclassed to General, Minerva has 40 HP and 21 defense, enough to survive two critical hits; and Etzel and Jeorge have 36 HP and 21 defense, requiring only one more point of either to survive two crits, though Jeorge can only reclass to General if the male class sets have been merged.

The secret shop sells Wyrmslayers and Dragonpikes, which are strong against the many dragons present in the next three chapters. The secret shop is located on tile (21, 1), the skull 2 tiles right of Jake's starting position.
