🎮 ABOUT THE GAME 🎮
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems, and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console in 2004 for Japan and 2005 in the West. It is the eighth entry in the Fire Emblem series, the second to be released outside Japan, and the third and final title to be developed for the Game Boy Advance after The Binding Blade and its prequel Fire Emblem.
Set in a separate continuity to earlier Fire Emblem titles, The Sacred Stones takes place on the fictional continent of Magvel, which is divided into five nations, each built around a magical stone said to be linked to the imprisonment of an ancient demon. When one of the five nations, the Grado Empire, invades its neighbours and begins destroying the stones, protagonists Eirika and Ephraim of the royal family of Renais set out to gather allies and halt Grado's conquest, while also trying to uncover the reasons for the war. The gameplay is similar to previous Fire Emblem games, focusing on turn-based, tactical movement of units across a grid-based battlefield. Core features of the game include permanent death for characters defeated in battle and support conversations that grant advantages to certain units in battle.

Spoilers for the run below ⬇
Do you think we'll get a unit that will do even worse than Garcia?
lol this may be impossible but could you one day use natasha or larechel that would be the supreme challenge
I am once again asking for monster weapon Myrrh.
@@troychun475you could do a dual run with larachel and our favorite bad rogue, It would be really funny
Hmmm.... given the strat for enemy phasing a lot of the time, I feel like Early game Neimi (and sniper Neimi if you go that route) and innes will have issues due to being bow-locked. Sure, snipers have the sure shot chances, but on those characters you get surrounded on all tiles, that attempt at the level is over. (Of course, that's not a 'reset' thing technically, but still something that would need to be considered for their runs, and even ranking them for their runs I'd say.) which... I suppose the required way would be reflected as taking longer by the timer... with the even longer turtling up to avoid being surrounded.
Unrelated but I would like to see how ephraim compares to his sister eirika
1:16 Seth saying “Princess, are you injured?” to the bearded hunk Garcia is sending me 💀
Oh damn. That Hiya Papaya is pretty cute
It is very cute, and available to all members in the comments and live chat
I love that Garcia is a parent with no regrets. However, my man...that speed is mega yikes.
That speed should have been his regret lmao
i would never have the patience to do this lol if i was you tho i would've allowed myself to get a fresh elixir for the demon king map because it is technically a different map then the one where you fight Lyon
Yeah it tested my patience lmao, glad that came through in the video.
I did think about it, but I haven't done it for anyone else so I'm just tryna keep things consistent, but you're right they are different maps.
@@kratosmvn_ i didn't even think about that, you'd have to redo all the runs and i'm sure that would be an instant no thank you from you lol great video tho
Now the real question!
Garcia or Dorcas.
Ohhh good one, I think Dorcas for me!
This is the day where Kratos learned having low strength is one pain but having low speed is a whole other D:
Speed = best stat confirmed.
Kratos: KNOLL SUCKS!
Garcia: Hold my axe.
LMAO
Lore wise Garcia is probably my favorite character in Fe8. But 25% Speed is tough.
*20
Garcia is a cool character from a story standpoint, but you are right that speed is tough!
This makes me feel lucky once again (other with lowen and hector of fe 7)
Garcia is generally just very likeable imo
Garcia is cool, but 20% speed is not cool.
He gets +2 speed from Hero (9 AS) and then +2-6 from the three speedwings (11-15 AS) and then Garm gives him +5 speed (20 AS).
I usually do the speedwings + garm strat for Duessel (along with giving him the boots)
I once had a 20/20 garcia that got 0 speed levels. It was a sad sight to see
Gah dayum that sad
I never really used Garcia. Not even as a kid. And i played a Lot of FE8. Kinda glad i never did 😂
😂 may have had that happen 3 times. He is pretty unusable but still a cool character story wise.
I once had 14/5 Garcia that didn't gain any strength or speed.
It was very funny lol, especially being at only 9 st
@@isuckatgaming1873 how did he Not get any strength. I would Just let him die at this Point.
Knoll walked so Garcia could stumble drunkenly through the game
I have no regrets.
This was always my fate.
-Kratos 2024
So true, so true.
"My whole life has been... unlimited solo works"
Joshua when 🥺 we gotta see a sword master
Hopefully soon enough... I need an easy run lol.
@@kratosmvn_ I wonder who the easiest run would be. Everybody "knows" that Seth can carry the whole campaign for you but I don't think I've seen it done before... probably looks a lot like your Franz run, but with a little less speed and a little more Res?
"Thank you Knoll for dying"
Am I wrong though?
@@kratosmvn_ nah
Thank you Kratos, now I have a video to link people to anytime they try to keep spinning the narrative that "Ross is trash, he'll always end up just a worse version of Garcia". I love both of them, great characters, but I don't think I've ever seen a Garcia that didn't struggle along like this. He desperately needs some help to be effective, like a support with Neimi for more hit and avoid and killing the enemy with his one strong attack and her two weak ones.
Preach dude. "The same exp you'd give to Ross on Garcia goes further" absolute lies. I've always found it to be the case Ross just clears Garcia existence as soon as he becomes a Pirate, which can be done in ch 3. 4 if playing fast.
What sets Ross apart from Garcia is the one stat everyone overlooks. LUK. Ross is far more accurate and evasive than his father, even IF they have comparable SPE. Ross caps as Berserker absolutely shit on Hero Garcia, who net +2 SPE from the promo but nerfs his offensive potential.
Lorewise it just feels so fitting that Garcia gains power through ones under his wings and vice-versa. Ross is is pretty much on his way to be his own dude thanks to his dad's upbringing that making Garcia to be one shepherding new cast of heroes feels more fitting than him being the solo guy.
And that's him pretty average. Looking at the desert map, I'm guessing warrior would lead to a reset. You need that +2 speed on promo, and Garcia needs to be slightly speed blessed to have a shot at effectively soloing.
Not trying to dis the fella putting in the work to make this series but it would make more sense with fixed growths imo for the final ranking stuff he's doing, but I think it being more random is entertaining for how he presents them.
But it did make me upsetti when he didn't realize he had a speed screwed Dozla.
@@coldeed no, this run has a well above average garcia, 20 skill before promotion, he stated in another comment that sexond run he grabbrd draco shield instead of the secret book btw, and his speed ended above average, even if yes by 1 point when accounting for the speedwing. And he even admitted in the vid to resetting when Garcia didn't level speed on the last few levels.
Anyways, yeah Luck is am underrated stat
You are incredibly patient
Thank you!
Garcia has no regrets.. but does Kratos have any.... ahahaha
My biggest one is doing this run
Garcia is literally the tired boxer meme of FE8 😂😂😂
So true, so true!
Going from dominating with a dragon rider, to a struggle with a warrior... 2 extremes in 2 vidéos lol. Take a good rest after this my good Sir!
Yeah I went to both extremes here lol.
Thank you very much
An Engage warrior this aint, clearly.
Because of their fast support and just liking axes, I usually use Axe Lad and Axe Dad together. Though promoting Ross to Berserker and Garcia to Hero makes their sprites and portraits mismatch a bit.
Their support is a awesome together so it's a great choice.
Amelia has bad res (looks) odd...somehow I managed to CAP her in my playthrough. (General which makes high RES kind of a bizarre thing to see anyway.)
Yeah, sometimes we get certain impressions on characters from past runs we've had with them. Happens to me all the time.
We have no regrets with this video. This was always our fate.
NO REGRETS!!!
I firmly believe early going for the Secret Book over Draco Shield was a bad call.
Garcia is tanky. But not in a way an Armor Knight is. You can see how much damage he takes in the chapters after.
Giving him the Draco Shield would reduce that, 2 less damage every single time he gets hit by physical damage. And this man is bound to get hit a lot without speed or dodge.
While hit rate is important, I think the extra survivability would have lead to less struggle overall.
Respectfully disagree on my end, the result would have remained the same because they would have dodge way more and it would have just been longer for them to chip me down. The end result would have still been to play for luck which would have probably led to a reset on Chapter 9 either way.
@@kratosmvn_In the first run? Yes. But in the 2nd run run where he capped skill? Not really
I forgot to mention it in the video, but I did grab the dragonshield on the second attempt because of where my skill was at. Sorry I should have been clearer.
I would say Garcia speed is knollful
@@kratosmvn_ 4 hit isn't that big of a difference for dodging, so the defense is almost surely better on a high HP unit. Also if that second Garcia had a Dracoshield, those were some rough defense level ups.
Another Ch 3 strat is to throw axes over the wall at the thief. That's what I usually do. Well, usually lances, but given infinite axe throws you're bound to hit eventually.
Yep, actually what I should have done, I just didn't think about it.
Wow, a character that Kratos had a worse time with than Knoll!
Yep, didn't think it was possible.
*watched the thumbnail*
me : kratos respectfully this is my fav unit and i will not tolerate any disrespect on my man
*watched the whole video*
me .......ok.....look....
ok but for real i love your content and thank you for using my fav unit, you really came just in time after a long day
I'm glad you enjoyed the video even though I trashed Garcia a little bit haha.
@@kratosmvn_ i've seen, read, and heard of how garcia is MAYBE average at his best so at this point im kinda numb to it
He's good at making others around him better through support, being great at chip damage and things like that!
See, I'd have rated Garcia below Erika purely for the amount of resets and the amount of sheer luck that was necessary to do this run. Without having gotten super lucky with that ridiculous skill, you'd have had to reset even more, or died three or four times as much. That's worse than Erika taking forever just to complete the run, if the character can't even complete the run without dumb luck.
Honestly a very fair point, I'll have to re-evaluate when I do the eventual Eirika re-run!
Great video. Its nice to see a solo run again. It seemed hard enough. Was this feeling wise better or worse then Eirika?
Thank you!
Hard to say feeling wise but I still think Eirika felt a little worse because of the late promo.
i saw gary so was thinking snails pace. just couldnt think of what char had the lowest speed. Another great video man.
Thank you glad you enjoyed!
I love just seeing "this was always my fate" every time he dies
It was pretty funny haha
Question for you. How do you patch in other characters as characters? I’ve been wanting to do something like this for ages. Love all of your videos. Keep up the good work
FEBuilderGBA.
@@JaidynReiman thanks much
There is a full tutorial up on my channel if you look through my videos.
Thank you for the kind words!
For a future run I think it's time Ewan took the stage. You've already handle the other two trainees, it his turn.
His time should come soon enough!
GARCIA NATION RISE UP
I never used Garcia in my runs, but definitely looking forward to seeing how he does!
And this video will showcase why you don't use him
@@kratosmvn_ Yeah just finished the video and wow was it rough to only use Garcia
This reminds me of the 1 time I properly trained Dorcas for an FE7 run.
He leveled up Speed ONCE as a level 20/5 Warrior before I just scrapped him 😂. Sunk cost fallacy is real.
At some point you have to believe that luck will turn somewhat lmao
On the last level with the warrior bows do extra damage to the draco zombies, so you can lure them with the ability to counterattack. Not super necessary but it is an advantage, you also have options for a longbow to hit them without them able to counter. You might be able to save an elixer that way.
Didn't think about that at all, but it is a good idea!
Something I've been wondering as these challenges go on, and you've refined your run tactics, I wonder if you'd do noticeably better with some of the characters you've already played before you had your ideal runs/pathing down. Like if something from the last couple of runs would make you play better for Erika or something. Just a thought. So when are you doing the Orson run?
I've been thinking about running back some of the old runs, and I might do that on this Sunday's stream with Ross. Just for the sake of curiosity.
Speed is the best Stat in Fire Emblem. Because it determines too many things. To the point that Speed should be weighted as if it is 2 Stats.
Yeah it is such a crucial and important stat you're right.
I actually thought he was going to end up below Erika, but then I was refreshed on her time and turn count and remembered that video.
Yeah I don't think Eirika will have a lot competition at the bottom lol.
Seeing that double crit on Lyon reminds me of one of my recent Randomiser runs. I teleported in a great knight with a brave axe and got 4 back to back crits, which was just enough to one round Lyon XD
Was a bit gobsmacked to be honest!
That's absolutely crazy I love it!
3:32 Roughly... 20% speed, 40 levels... 8 speed... 15 total speed+promotion bonuses? Ooof.
KratosMVN: Fathers in Fire Emblem dont tend to have a positive relationship with well... remaining alive
Me: Does everyone forget about Brom?
hello! I started binging these FE8 Solo Runs of yours a few days ago (not in order, oops) & I just wanted to drop a comment saying I'm enjoying them a lot! I'm not one to watch UA-cam videos a lot in general, especially ones of these nature due to my poor attention span being the enemy, but your commentary & attitude towards these videos is such a pleasure to watch. I'm having tons of fun wondering what each character is gonna struggle/excel at & am always left with a smile (or tears) on my face at the results. thank you for doing these runs & keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm very happy to hear the series has captivated you and that you've watched all the way through. Stay tuned as more is planned in the future!
Video In Summary:
I have no regrets. This was always my fate.
Very accurate representation
Man, talk about a rough one! Very early on I was wondering if you'd have to re-roll your level ups for speed. Not surprised you did! IMO the rating is more than fair considering the recorded game times don't really reflect the actual time you spent on the run, and there is just naturally going to be a subjective portion to the run anyway.
I'd be curious to see you re-run one of these bad characters but re-roll bad level ups from the very beginning, just to see what a difference it makes. It's been awhile since I've played any FE games but I'm definitely guilty of resetting a map here and there for my favorite characters' stats. 😅
Yeah it was difficult, but on those last few levels it felt necessary to reset lol.
If I always rerolled bad level ups I feel like a lot of runs would feel very much the same from each other so I kind of like leaving it up to chance.
I try to use Garcia every time, but I’ve only had one time where he wasn’t very slow
Yeah, I think that's just kind of how it goes with him.
Im not sure if youve said it but who is your favorite character in Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones. Mines Ross [:
Cormag and Gerik, but Ross isn't far behind those two.
@@kratosmvn_ good to know
5:42 I love when montages kick in and we are blessed with this music
The best track in this case if you ask me!
Unbalanced growths punish you bad. The good growth will overkill your stat to the cap, but your low stats will suffer.
Ya know, knoll still better than most axe users xD
Got to give it to him!
I've never used Longbow on a warrior, but it may help during chapter 18 and other enemies.
I did realize after the fact that the longbow may have had a few pratical uses here and there.
I love it when Garcia gets on a roll with str and skill.
That's one of the more common "blessed" versions I've gotten.
So, one idea that could be interesting when you finish the solo series. Is Duos.
Specifically Garcia and Dozla
The real blue and yellow ax bros.
It would work well because Dozla can take Seth's spot, and Garcia in Eirika's.
The fire/thunder support is pretty decent and having both of them could make for an interesting run.
I know this one really did a number on you, but the vid came out awesome.
Side note, Bows are effective against dracozombies.
If you had trained his bow rank to just C or B a killer or brave bow could have saved some headaches in the last map.
Duos could be a very fun idea! And we could come up with interesting combos for sure.
Thanks for the tip it might have helped a lot.
He did it again!
I have not seen this yet but is going to be fun. Always waiting for new video!
I'm glad you're excited for new videos! Love making them :)
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LET'S GO DILF RUN
"THE DILF RUN" - this sent me
Like I keep saying, gotta go Marisa! She has more speed then Garcia so you should appreciate her more. lol. If she comes after Joshua she'll just end up looking sad on average she's gotta go before him. XD
I'm sure Marisa will actually do pretty good, but we'll see I'm excited to try her.
Sacred Stones is pretty easy, especially when you generally play on Normal which obviously you're not playing on but I'm bringing this up for one thing. The very first time I had ever seen an enemy double in Sacred Stones was one of the dog monsters attacking Garcia on a random encounter that was on the Pablo map. It might be the only time I've ever seen it in Sacred Stones honestly. Which just says a lot in regards to the difficulty of Sacred Stones, but also just how slow Garcia is.
EDIT: Oh right, it wasn't just the first time I saw an enemy unit run up to one of my guys and double them, it was also the first time I had ever seen a monster unit crit. Needless to say, Garcia died and I learned I did not like Garcia much.
Yeah, he really is one of those rare units that won't necessarily double all enemies and it's kind of baffling.
Saw this when it came out, late to comment but Garcia is honestly one of my favorite units, not because he is awesome at base or has good growth potential, but because he’s almost always gonna be good enough and embodies 12th best unit. Most runs you keep him for 1-2 range axes at base, usually taking a hit and usually doing a good one back, and he can actually contribute a lot with his support for training projects like Neimi and Ross as well as for Seth to get a tasty crit and avoid boost.
That said, he’s definitely not the best candidate for soloing the game. He’d probably be better off on Ephraim route as Ewan gives a dracoshield instead and there’s a bit less pressure on you when you try to get the swordslayer so he’d basically one tap any sword enemies he needed to. Trying to get through ghost ship with him alone without a promotion… I’m not gonna lie I have no answer for that one. :p
Yeah I can imagine me having to beat Ghost Ship with only Garcia
Before watching:
Good luck with that guy's Spd
Midway:
Forgot how bad his skill was
Final edit:
That Luck stat probably mattered more for Garcia than anyone else
Yeah his speed was really tough, luck was pretty important for him.
Hmm, the higher strength cap did have its merits, but I still think as an avid Garcia fan, gaining speed to avoid being doubled by mid speed classes wouldve been to his benefit
Regardless, I appreciate the major effort you put in for best dad, a shame your first attempt was subpar in like, most aspects 💀
Garcia is still a great dad regardless of his bad run, no need to worry about that.
Garcia may be a terrible unit, but he is a good dad... maybe this is why dads in FE are always dead: they're weak!
Also tbh, I'd have put him in Eirika tier as, didn't you say you reset when you didn't get speed levels near the end with hero, just to make sure you hit the threshold?
At least he's a good dad.
I think there is a good argument to be made for him being lower than I placed him, but I'll have to thin about it further.
I've always believed that Garcia was a little bit overrated. His speed is just atrocious where he rarely doubles in a game where enemies are kind of easy to double 💀. I've always preferred Ross because at least he has a higher speed growth and beserker class.
Side note, where that Natasha solo run at?🤨🤨
Ross is the boss afterall!
Natasha is busy healing or something lol
I'm curious. I may have asked this before, but is there any way you could put FE characters from other games in here and see how they do like Lyn, Hector, Sophia ect?
It is very doable and once I'm done with the FE8 cast I might try it out.
If you're taking unit suggestions I have 2. If you really hate yourself or your free time, I say either Neimi or Innes. The other would be a post game unit like Lyon or maybe Orson.
I'm planning to go through all units, so they will see their time come.
The only worst speed character for me has been FE7 Bartre, getting only 5-6 speed as a level 20 Fighter 😫
Ooof that's rough!
I've seen several people saying that trainee units are worthless, and that Ross in particular can never compare to his own father.
This is an hour long masterclass in how that's bullshit.
My work here is done
9:58 Joshua gets hit by Garcia's 40%
'I guess my luck finally ran out'
LMAO, it really did 🤣
I'm surprised he struggled just as much through the regular chapters as a hero. I would have thought the swords increasing his dodge and defence against axes would have eased things up a lot.
Yeah, it didn't make much of difference because his speed still suffered a lot.
If you ever have to restart a run for better growths i don't think people would mind if you added a couple of metis tomes in to simulate if you got extremely lucky on each level up
That would make things a little simple for sure, I'll keep it in mind for the future.
These pronunciations are killing me, (not saying there good or bad, right or wrong? but I'm not used to them.)
hahaha, I'm sorry I just pronounce things different I guess.
My poor man Garcia, he's great but he hathn't the stats growth adequate for solo run, that lack of speed and res hurts
Yep, his stats just aren't there for soloing adequately
It's a shame bows are so awful. Garcia would be the best archer if bows were any good at all. Well, second best since Gerik gets a horse if he becomes an archer too.
Yeah that would have been a cool niche for him honestly.
The ultimate daddy 😮
The daddy of all daddies.
Respectfully disagree. That title goes to Bartre.
I feel like your ignoreing is super bad Def which makes his low speed feel so much worse.
His defense isn't that bad though??? 25% growth might seem low, but for Sacred Stones Standard it's a little above average. When looking at it in a vacuum yes it does seem low, but the reality is it's alright. The reason it feels so bad is as you said his low speed makes it feel worse than it actually is which means that the real problem remains speed.
I think if you retried Eirika,she'd he better than Garcia with your more imtimate knowledge.
It will be fun to see when I do get there.
You should do a strong character next time. Give yourself a break.
Thank you, I will probably do that lol
Holy heck that was a rough one. Enjoyed it but maybe an easier unit next.
Yeah it was tough, I'm thinking of an easier run too next time lol
Great Garcia is my favorite character in this game, seeing him getting massacred here breaks me.
Garcia needs his fans more than ever right now...
Garcia made the right decision to retire as a soldier. Don't force him to the war again lol
LMAO my bad I should have let him have some rest.
I see the flyers reigning supreme so far, do you plan to run with Syrene soon?
I would be very intrigued in seeing how Syrene performs so I'm considering it.
Still halfway through the video but I just want to say I respect a lot the guts with going warrior (or trying too, I haven't seem the ending yet). Yeah, sure, hero is better in almost all scenarios, but Garcia not being a warrior just feels wrong to me. He was born to spin.
Thank you, I do agree, while it didn't go our way he was indeed born to spin!
Eirika is probably due for a rerun. That was one of your first runs, and I'm sure that with more knowledge of Sacred Stones, she should have a way better placement than Garcia.
It would sure be interesting to find out!
Oh oof that lol 17 Garcia was... yeah except for the str that rough 😂
Yeah, it wasn't his best showing lol
Another amazing video! It was painful to watch though, but I expected him to rank even lower at some point!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
hoping, waiting, praying for the Joshua video
It is in the plans! Don't give up hope.
Wow, true showing of resilience right here.
It was long and arduous, but worth it in the end.
@@kratosmvn_ it sure was, it made for a great, fun video. :)
Ah amazing
Hour long kratos solo run
I know he will be in pain the entire time
Hopefully my pain made you happy haha! :DozaLUL:
Maybe the only "boon" of going Warrior would be to grind on Bow-Rank to use Longbow and attack for effective damage the Zombie Dragons. This could also help for the 2 range Gorgons but I don't think there is any other reason for going Warrior. Garcia needs to double the DK, with that low Avoid and Defense there is not another more consistent way for doing it.
Yeah, Warrior really lacked the speed that I thought I could overcompensate with other stats, but at least we tried.
How about you use an easy unit for a change? Take a break, huh?
I did with Cormag I guess but I might do another easy one next!
Garcia is basically Kongol so . . . #Justiceforkongol
Basically the same thing #justiceforKongol
Imagine having capped skill and still not have 100 hit
It's simply crazy how horrible axes are for accuracy lol
It's kinda crazy how much garcia changes as a unit depending on if he gets supports. Ross/Garcia (Fire/Fire) A gives +3 ATK +15 Hit/crit/avoid. You can then give him B rank with neimi (Fire) too for +5 ATK +25 hit/crit/avoid which pretty much makes him a berserker.
Even if you don't like neimi, you can do gilliam (Thunder) or dozla (Thunder) instead. It's only thunder but still gives him the important bonuses and is nearly as good
One of the few people I've seen that actually considers how powerful support chains are. Good support chains is enough to separate two identical units into separate tiers (provided they're not incredibly long to build) but even C support goes a long way.
To be fair with all of those units being worse than Garcia if you’re trying to use him you’d probably still be better off not using those units and having more reliable units instead to help Garcia front line better via having other bulky units with him and have him weakening but not one rounding enemies go to better recipients of exp.
Supports make a unit better, but all his support partners suck or is Seth who has far better things to do than baby sit him when he could be going an objective by himself or with another cav.
But yeah if you goal is just to make him as strong as possible because you want to to each their own, gl.
@@twigz3214 In what world is dozla a bad unit? Ross is also pretty solid since he joins so early. And sure, you can just use all the best units every single time but fact is fe8 is one of the easiest FE games, and rolling through it with a horde of cavalry and fliers is just kinda boring.
@@Donlot_ don’t think Ross is great when you have to drag him though 10 levels of being a trainee unit to effectively get Garcia 2, yeah he’ll be slightly better but for the amount of work you put in and if you gave Garcia that exp instead he never will be unless you tower grind or cap them which won’t happen until post game. Also yeah it’s fair to say Dozla is more meh than outright bad, he joins with passable stats that get the job done but fall off a bit as the game goes on.
Can u beat with a archer??
Okay, I get that the thief in chapter 3 was a roadblock, but couldn't you have had Garcia open the door using the key he'd just got from the enemy drop, and then go after the thief by using the hatchet through the wall?
Yeah the hitrate still wouldn't be great, but the thief would have no counterattack, and couldn't steal your vuln.
Honestly, I just didn't think about doing that, but it's honestly the safest strat probably.
Man...knowing that Garcia is my favourite character from fe8...the struggle hurts to see man
I'm sorry to hear, but at least he was able to finish it I guess lol
@@kratosmvn_ At least he was able to finish, if only 20% speed wasn't...that. What was with GBA Fighters and low speed man, sucks for a Fighter lover like myself
don't lie, we all knew you went warrior for the crit animation
I have been found out, I must go into hiding.
I didn't know this video promoted warrior slander.. warrior is simply better then hero class in a normal run
I have no regrets. This was always my fate.
I want Garcia in Heroes so badly, because he's the ONLY Axe Dad in the Fire Emblem franchise that isn't in Heroes. He's simply too powerful, IS fears him.
I mean he cleared the entire game by himself. Almost twice.
You know. I'm starting to think the Demon Lord isn't the actual big bad everyone believes he is in universe. Lyon was scammed. Think about this for a moment, one person from the Eirika/Ephraim squad can not only solo this game but even the Fomortiis himself. Now ask this question, in lore did the twins ever plan to show up solo? At the very least it would have been the siblings and unless their friends and servants all bit it on the way that also means Seth, Franz, Gilliam, Kyle and Forde were all going there. Now keep in mind each of these guys can solo the whole game with Seth making it look like it's just another Tuesday. Now let's take into account that you are given Vanessa by Frelia and her sisters would of course canonically tag along. That's three more soldiers right there. This doesn't take into account Moulder, Neimi, Colm, Ross or Garcia because those guys are kind of opportunity hires and in an ideal world they may join up but there was a chance they didn't, though it's a low chance.
I won't mention the rest of the cast but let's face it. Fomortiis's goose was cooked before he even knew it. Seth alone would have beaten him with an iron dagger but now he's got a group of people he can train up on the way to this guy. Which doesn't even cover the training tower of Valni and hoarding silver weapons.
So was the Demon Lord Fomortiis ever an actual threat? I don't think so. I think he's a paper tiger. I think the real threat was actually the war happening between the puppet nations and that in his quest to wake up this BBEG made of paper mache that Lyon actually did more to ruin his enemies than Fomortiis ever could. Lyon was the real boss all along.
Which was all a fancy way of saying...can you beat Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones Only Using Lyon?
Omg, I havent used Garcia on a while... didnt know its growths were that bad.
Yeah, it's tough!
