He Needs This

He needs this

Sylvain: SHUSH Professor Hanneman is coming.

Hilda: Quick, Lorenz talk about boring noble stuff!

Lorenz: You know, noble culture is mainstream now, so when you use the word "noble" derogatorily, it means you're the one that's out of the zeitgeist.

Sylvain: Perfect just like that!

it aint true love unless u suplex ur bf

How to Beat Death Knight at Chapter 4

Step 1: Make a prayer circle

Step 2: Use the power of friendship

This is more like a checklist than an actual gameplay to be honest

But this is how it’s going to play out.

First

Play in Japanese

Play as male Byleth

Play Blue Lions for the family drama and political intrigue

Be wary of historical records

They’re not always true

Remember that history is written by the victors

Recruit Flayn

Rebel against the church of Seiros

Seteth will be displeased

So will Rhea

Steal Lorenz

Make Sylvain his wingman

Now they can fail together

Try not to kill Ashe’s dad

Don’t make Ashe cry

Try not to kill Sylvain’s brother

Go fishing

Pair up the kids just like our teachers did to us back in highschool 

Grow support between Dedue and Ingrid

Help her see beyond distrust

WATCH ME HELP OUR GIRL SEE THE LIGHT

Alternatively:

Play in English

Proceed to do all of the above

Listen to Annette singing

Listen to Dimitri’s earnest voice

Have my heart broken by Dimitri’s earnest voice

Play as female Byleth

Marry Dedue

Make him read my favourite books out loud

Find out:

What happened to elder Gautier

What happened to the von Martlitz family

Why Annette’s nobility comes from her uncle and not her dad (from her mother, maybe)

Who really killed the king

Why the Galatea family has fallen on hard times

Did their main/sole benefactor die in the regicide?

What is Faerghus hiding (because I’m pretty sure they’re hiding something)

Second

Play Golden Deer for betrayals and rebel uprisings

Steal Mercedes

Create political marriage with someone from the Alliance

Recruit Cyril

His sass will go well with this house

… I’m not really sure what to do

I’m just trying to avoid Edelgard’s disappointment when I do something wrong

Which I always do

Make food for Raphael I guess

I think this will be my ‘do whatever I feel like’ house

Make sure Riegan and Goneril don’t bully Cordelia

Make King Lear references

Find King Lear references and start overthinking

I’m going to love their Shakespearean era post-timeskip designs

I don’t care if you don’t like poofy pants and sleeves

Find out: 

What Leicester is looking for (because I have a feeling they’re looking for something)

How Leicester split from Faerghus

Ingrid and Lysithea have crests from the other region which might mean Leicester is directly from Faerghus with a few Adrestian nobles included

Third:

Play Black Eagles for stress and conquest

Steal Felix 

See if his loyalty changes

Especially after time skip

Wake up Linhardt

Get him to teach me about his crest research

Tempted to grab Marrianne

But I fear her low self esteem won’t be able to handle a whole house of perfect and talented creatures

Get Bernadetta out of her room

Remind Edelgard that she doesn’t need to be perfect

Try not to get too intimidated by the kids

They’re all better than me

Shut up Edelgard, I know I suck!

Unite Fodlan under one rulership

Mine

Find out:

Edelgard’s ancestry

What Adrestia is hiding (Neutral or not, the church is definitely a product of Seiros)

Why Edelgard can wield an axe with somebody else’s crest on it

What Petra thinks of all this war nonsense

Teaching Dimitri how to dance. Bless this poor child.
