Pale Flower of Darkness (Japanese:闇の白い花White Flower of Darkness) is the twenty-fifth chapter ofEliwood's tale and twenty-seventh ofHector's tale inFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. To playJerme's version of the chapter, the combinedexperience earned byDorcas,Bartre,Guy, andRaven must be greater than that earned bySerra,Erk,Priscilla, andLucius (experience gained in Lyn mode, or by defeated units, does not count). Otherwise,Pale Flower of Darkness (Kenneth) will be played instead.

Plot

Main articles:Pale Flower of Darkness (Jerme)/Script (Eliwood) andPale Flower of Darkness (Jerme)/Script (Hector)

IfVaida was not defeated inthe previous chapter, she is chastised bySonia for failing to killEliwood; she begs for a second chance, but is rebuffed. Eliwood and company arrive at theBlack Fang's hideout, asLyn has tracked them there; they then sneak into the fortress; Eliwood leavesNinian andNils in the care ofMarcus before they leave.

The lords happen across Sonia, and eavesdrop on her givingNino the mission she received from KingDesmond.Brendan protests giving such a dangerous mission to Nino; Sonia states that, asLloyd andLinus have not been heard from since they went to kill Eliwood, Nino is the only option. Brendan relents and leaves as Sonia callsJaffar; she tells him that Nino will accompany him to assassinate PrinceZephiel. Jaffar protests, but Sonia refuses to listen and insists the mission will succeed as long as Jaffar is there. Sonia leavesJerme to guard the fortress as she, Jaffar, and Nino leave for the royal manse. The lords regroup with Marcus and begin to follow the assassins; however, Jerme notices them, and interrupts their conversation. Jerme announces his intent to enjoy killing of the lords' party; they attempt to flee him, but Ninian senses they are trapped by a barrier. Jerme warps inside a nearby building, and Nils tells the group they must defeat every foe to leave.

During the battle, eitherKarel orHarken may appear. If one of the lords talks to Karel, he informs them that he came to "hone [his] blade" against the Black Fang, as they hava gathered new; Karel notices that the lords will become powerful warriors, and he decides to join them to see them fulfill that potential. If Harken appears, Eliwood,Hector,Marcus,Lowen,Oswin, orIsadora may speak to him; Harken reveals that he intends to atone for his failure to protectElbert or his comrades by killing as many of the Black Fang as he can. Harken is hesitant to join Eliwood's group, but is convinced to join when he is remind of his knightly duty, of what Elbert would want him to do, or of how many people his absence would hurt.

Once the black fang are routed, the lords discover that Jerme was carrying theFire Emblem with him and recover it from his corpse. Though they have fulfilledHellene's request, they know that they must hurry to prevent Zephiel's assassination.

Near Zephiel's abode, Sonia reviews the assassination with Nino one last time. Nino requests to hold her mother's hand; Sonia promises to Nino that, if she succeeds and kills the prince, she will hold her hand as often as she wishes. Nino is satisfied with Sonia's answer and runs ahead. Once Nino is out of earshot, Sonia orders Jaffar to kill Nino once Zephiel is dead; she explains that a scapegoat is needed to quell the chaos that will erupt once Zephiel has been assassinated. Jaffar protests, but Sonia reminds him that "Nergal does not give second chances", convincing Jaffar to silently obey her orders.

In Hector's tale, Hector asks Oswin about news onUther's illness. Oswin informs him that there is no news; however, Oswin did receive word from Uther advising Hector to not trouble Eliwood. Hector is frustrated by his brother's apparent insistence on treating him like a child.

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

This section has been marked as astub. Please help improve the page by adding information.

This is one of the few chapters inThe Blazing Blade that featureweather. While it snows, your units will suffer major movement penalties unless they are indoors. As such, it is difficult to traverse the large map in a low number of turns, and all the more difficult if one wishes to recruitKarel, whose appearance requires four doors to be opened by the end of turn 9. Keep in mind thatNils will note the starting and stopping of the snow, and traveling indoors is inevitable given the chapter's mission torout the enemy, so while summoning Karel may not be optimal, by no means is it impossible.

The chapter itself is an arduous one, requiring you to open multiple doors and defeat the enemies in each room. Each room, however, has enemy units that share similar classes, so knowing what to expect beforehand can help in choosing which units to deploy.

Do take caution againstJerme, however, as he is capable of moving. It is recommended to attack him from a distance, as he cannot inflictcritical hits at 2-range due to the nature of theLight Brand. However,Assassin'sLethality is easy to circumvent; 9 dodge on Normal (10 for HHM, 11 on the Japanese release for HHM) will prevent Jerme from making a critical hit, and thus from activating Lethality.

Trivia

Both versions of Pale Flower of Darkness combined.
  • On Hard Mode in Eliwood's tale, there is an enemyMyrmidon with only aHorseslayer in their inventory; as the Horseslayer is alance and not asword, this leaves the Myrmidon unable to attack.
  • Harken wields the only obtainableBrave Sword in the entire game.
  • Karel wields the only obtainableWo Dao in Eliwood's Tale, or one of two in Hector's Tale, the other belonging to his sisterKarla.
  • TheWo Dao can only be wielded byMyrmidons,Swordmasters, andBlade Lords, meaning that only four units in the entire game can wield one:Guy,Karel,Karla, andLyn.
  • Jerme wields one of two obtainableLight Brands in the entire game, the other found in chapter22E/23H.
  • The maps for both versions of thus chapter fit together near-seamlessly.
  • The second version ofNino fromFire Emblem Heroes has the title of "Pale Flower", which is named after this chapter. In Japanese, her title is the full "Pale Flower of Darkness", but this could not fit in English.
