Crazed Beast (Japanese:狂える獣Crazed Beast) is the twenty-fifth ofHector's tale inFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, and is the third chapter exclusive to Hector's tale.

Plot

Main article:Crazed Beast/Script

Sonia meets with an imprisoned former member of theFour Fangs,Pascal. Sonia offers to release Pascal if he killsEliwood, which he agrees to.

Hector,Lyn, and Eliwood follow a lead on theFire Emblem that leads them to the southern marshes ofBern. As they begin to investigate the three fortresses where they were told they would find the thieves, Pascal's forces ambush the lords. Pascal prevents messages being sent to the Black Fang's headquarters to avoid interference from theFour Fangs. Now surrounded, Hector commands the group to seize the fortresses to force the enemy to retreat.

During the battle,Farina arrives on the battlefield seeking an opportunity to offer her services as a mercenary; she spots Hector and approaches him. Farina confidently sells herself as a capable warrior whose skills will cost Hector 20,000gold. Based on the player's actions, Hector may be unable to afford Farina's price, decline to pay it, or decide to hire her; in the last case, she joins Hector's army.

Once the three forts have been captured, the remaining soldiers flee. Lyn and Hector begin arguing about Hector's reckless trust in the lead; Eliwood breaks up the argument by reminding them that they need to leave before reinforcements arrive and that they have still weakened the enemy.

Trivia

• There is an unused enemy layout for this chapter in the game's data that was possibly meant to be the chapter's layout in Hector Hard mode; in the finished game, both difficulties share the same data for enemy spawns.
