Mad King Gangrel (Japanese:闇愚王ギャンレルDark and Foolish King Gangrel) is the eleventh chapter inFire Emblem Awakening. This chapter deals with theShepherds' battle againstGangrel, which concludes the first major arc of the game. A two-year timeskip follows when the plot is once again set into motion, this time againsta new country anda new antagonist.

Chrom must be married by the end of this chapter. If he has not already unlocked an S support by the conclusion of this chapter, an algorithm will determine his wife during the chapter's aftermath. This algorithm can be manipulated, and in fact must be manipulated if the player wishes Chrom to marryOlivia.

Plot

Main article:Mad King Gangrel/Script

Aversa informsGangrel that theShepherds are taking the field, and both parties' subordinates report that thePlegian army is surrendering en masse in honor ofEmmeryn's sacrifice; only a scant few hardliners remain by Gangrel's side.Chrom confronts Gangrel and defeats him in a final battle, bringing an end to the war betweenYlisse and Plegia.Flavia reassures Chrom that as the war's instigator and loser, reparations will fall to Plegia. If Chrom has not attained an S-support with any of his eligible marriage candidates, he automatically proposes to the candidate with the highest support rank. Chrom takes the Ylissean throne, forswearing the title of exalt out of respect for Emmeryn, and the nation spends the next two years rebuilding.

Summary

Gangrel is defeated. Two years later, Chrom has married and sired a daughter, Lucina. Upon learning the Valmese Empire will invade, Chrom departs for Ferox.

Strategy

At the end of this chapter, ifChrom is not already married, he will be forced to marry the eligible bachelorette with the most support points. Ties are resolved in the orderSumia >Sully >Maribelle > FemaleRobin >Olivia. In order for him to marry Olivia, he must not have a C-support (or higher) with a yet unmarried spouse. In order to do this, Olivia will need to dance for Chrom a good couple of turns before finishing the chapter. Having the two pair up and Chrom engage in several battles also works. If all of Chrom's marriage candidates are married, dead, or do not have any support points with him, he will marry a generic village maiden.

Your immediate concern is carving a path southwest to intercept the enemy Thief before he can make off with your Large Bullion. Gangrel and the enemies surrounding him (the two Fighters, two Mages, and two Mercenaries) will not move until one of the player's units enters their attack range. Should one unit enter any of the units' attack range, all of the aforementioned enemies including Gangrel will begin to close in on the player's units. If you want to battle all of the enemies and maximize experience gain, avoid him until the end of the battle. Also beware that this is the first map to have generic promoted enemies. On Lunatic+, only bring Anna to loot the eastern treasure chest and Cordelia and Sumia to act as troop transports for Anna and Olivia. Your ultimate goal is to reach the southwest mountains, where the enemies can only approach you one space at a time and you can pick them off from safety. Have Anna slip through and nab the chest before the Thief does.

Once the treasure is secure, fall back, as the reinforcements can be quite deadly. While the forts they come out of can be blocked, one of them is in the attack range of the Gangrel squad, so it cannot be safely blocked. By keeping a safe distance, the reinforcements can be made to approach you, allowing them to be dealt with with less risk.

Take care when fighting Gangrel; 25 SPD is needed to not get doubled by him, which may be a tough ask for some of your units; useLibra'sWard to help with survival, and once his lackeys are dealt with, placeTharja directly next to Gangrel to cripple his evasion withHex andAnathema before moving in for the kill.
