“Does it gall you, Marquess Pherae? It's destiny. There could be no other outcome. Despite all of your mischief, the girl was fated to return to me.”
— Nergal toElbert.

Dragon's Gate (Japanese:竜の門Dragon's Gate) is the nineteenth chapter ofEliwood's tale and twentieth of Hector's tale inFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

Plot

Main articles:Dragon's Gate (chapter)/Script (Eliwood) andDragon's Gate (chapter)/Script (Hector)

Eliwood's group finally arrives at theDragon's Gate. Ninian immediately senses something horrible and panics, realizing that her presence at the gate is a mistake.Ephidel warps in to introduce himself and tauntHector and the others about the death ofLeila. Ephidel warps to Ninian and then warps her and himself deeper into the Dragon's Gate, nearDarin; Ephidel assigns Darin the task of eliminating Eliwood, Hector, andLyn before taking Ninian to the gate itself, where Nergal andElbert are. Elbert is distraught at Ninian's return, and charges Nergal, thoughJaffar strikes Elbert, and Elbert collapses. Outside the gate, Eliwood and Hector are taunt by theCameron before the battle begins.

Early in the battle,Legault appears from a set of stairs. Legault is confronted by a Black Fang member who does not recognize him; he explains that, his name and title, "the Hurricane", are quite well known among the Black Fang, and the Black Fang member recognizes his name and excuses himself. Now alone, Legault initiates his plans to steal some treasure and leave the "sinking ship" that is the Black Fang behind. Eliwood, Hector, orLyn can talk to Legault; Legault clarifies to each of them that he is former Black Fang, and each asks him to join them to tech them of the Black Fang, which he accepts.

Nergal withNinian under his control.

Once Darin is defeated, Eliwood and the others move deeper into the Dragon's Gate to find Elbert; they find him near the gate itself calling out to him weakly. Elbert immediately tells Eliwood to take Ninian away from there; Eliwood realizes that Ninian is even present, though she is silent, and she will not move. Hector then grabs Elbert, Eliwood, and Ninian; however, before they can leave, Jaffar blocks the room's only exit. Elbert warns Eliwood not to fight Jaffar, but Eliwood insists that it is their only choice; Ephidel then warps into the room and comments similarly to Elbert.

Ephidel dismisses Jaffar, and tells Eliwood that Nergal has a "special show" for him; Elbert then screams in pain, and Ninian mumbles the word "power". Nergal appears and commands Ninian to open the Dragon's Gate, and she complies. However, as a dragon emerges from the gate,Nils runs into the room and snaps Ninian out of her hypnosis, causing the gate to deactivate suddenly. Nils tells everyone to flee, and they do; Nergal then teleports away as an explosion occurs, consuming Ephidel. Nergal quickly reappears to grab Ninian and Nils, but Elbert stabs Nergal; Nergal warps away again. Eliwood tells Elbert they will head home now, but Elbert states that he cannot go on any longer. Elbert apologizes to his wifeEleanora and dies in Eliwood's arms.

Strategy

Hannah's Augury

Price:60
Intro:This is a terrible place. It fills me with...unease. Let's not be staying here too long, yes? Back to safer ground with us... Ah. Not a quitter, eh? Bah. Your augury, then.
Augury:...Aha... Powerful foes everywhere... Leave those with timid hearts behind. ...Strong defense...and those with distance attacks. Those would be good to have. And...rapiers, armorslayers... magic... These things you need. Ah, I can say no more.
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

This chapter can be very confusing, with a wonky arrangements of rooms and corridors, plenty ofchests, doors, and collapsible walls, and multiple routes towards the throne. BringingMatthew along isn't necessary for this chapter because of the droppedDoor Keys andChest Key, but he will be very convenient. If you decide to deployMerlinus, there will be reinforcementPegasus Knights appearing on turns 9 and 10 in the bottom left corner which could easily endanger him. Leaving one or two units to defendMerlinus and kill the Pegasus Knights is recommended. Also, thesecret shops on this chapter don't offer any notably, spectacular items, so visiting them is not recommended.

The most common approach to this chapter is to move through the western corridor with some type of axe user taking the lead in order to deal with all of theCavaliers andCameron. The narrow hallway provides a neat choke point that funnels enemy units as they approach. This route also provides access to western chests located on the map. You should also go out of your way to kill theSniper in the south western room and open the chest located next to him. Thischest contains the only obtainableBrave Bow in the entire game and will be especially potent if given to a well-trained bow user—likeRebecca.

Cameron will be the easier of the two bosses in this chapter. He will wield aHalberd in Normal mode, so make sure you do not attack him with mounted units likeKent orSain. Aside from that, killing him should be straight forward—any axe user should do. Any of yourlords' signature weapons,Rapier,Wolf Beil, orMani Katti, should also be effective.

By the time you have killed all the cavaliers and Cameron, you should be making your way to interceptLegault in order to recruit him. He will most likely have opened both eastern chests, meaning that by recruiting him you will also obtain aBarrier staff as well as aGuiding Ring. On turn 7, a reinforcementThief should appear holding aMember Card. This is the only obtainable Member Card in the entire game, so taking an effort tosteal it now could be invaluable in the future. After these objectives, you should be nearingDarin and the throne.

Darin can be a difficult boss if you are not prepared. First, you want to bombard him with magic attacks from a distance. He does have very high resistance, so don't expect magic attacks alone to kill him.Canas wieldingLuna will be especially strong because the tome ignores resistance. Note, attacking from range will not be a safe option in hard mode asDarin will be wielding aSpear. Afterwards, you'll need some melee attackers in order to finish him off. Some strong options includeDart wielding aHammer,Kent/Sain with aHeavy Spear,Hector'sWolf Beil, or any sword user withArmorslayer. Kill Darin, then seize the throne.

Trivia

  • Cameron shares his base portrait withMaxime, the secondary boss ofChapter 26E/28H, though Maxime is recolored. Cameron and Maxime also both lack a battle quote and death quote despite having lines before their respective chapters begin.
