Smash Brethren 3 (Japanese: 紅対蒼 決戦編 Red vs. blue: Decisive chapter) is a downloadable content xenologue chapter in Fire Emblem Awakening. As a xenologue chapter, it does not officially bear a chapter number; if all xenologues are purchased and its list is viewed at the Outrealm Gate, Smash Brethren 3 is the twelfth one from the top in the North American version of the game. Officially in Japan and unofficially in North America, Smash Brethren 3 is part of the first series of DLC releases, a distinction that does not exist in the PAL regions.

Why does this fight feel so...empty? Our cause is just: defend this land against the invaders...
— Lyn

This chapter was first made available on June 28, 2012 in Japan, March 28, 2013 in North America, and August 1-2 in the PAL regions. PAL region players who purchased the Smash Pack prior to Smash Brethren 3's offical release were able to play the chapter up to two weeks early.

In this chapter, the forces of Elibe, Magvel, and Tellius make one last stand and combine their might. The Shepherds must take on this combined force if they ever hope to seal them back into their Einherjar cards.

Plot

Main article: Smash Brethren 3/Script
See also: Smash Brethren 3/Conversations

Old Hubba meets Chrom and the Shepherds as they enter the same Outrealm from Smash Brethren 1 and 2, and informs them the Einherjar they defeated before have all gathered in the ruin and are unified against them. In the Outrealm, the TellianElibianMagvelian army plan to fight the Shepherds in small groups, hiding their movements behind the closed doors. As the first units approach, Chrom prepares for a long battle, though Robin states that their opponents are more manageable in smaller groups. After battle, Chrom is relieved these Einherjar are finally sealed, and Robin gives him an Einherjar of Lyn they found.

Website summary

Roy and Ike join forces to form an overwhelming combination of military might. In order to seal away these summoned einherjar, Chrom must challenge them to an all-out war.[1]

If more chapters along the main story path are cleared, or if any paralogues are cleared, the player can have access to characters not listed here by the point the chapter is first started. As bonus units are recruitable at the player's discretion, the returning characters list does not list them either.
