Rivals Collide (Japanese:両雄、相打つTwo Great Rivals Collide) is the seventh chapter of Part III ofFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. In this chapter,Ike and theGreil Mercenaries square off againstMicaiah and theDaein Army for the first time.

Plot

Main articles:Rivals Collide/Script andRivals Collide/Conversations

To the east of the Ribahn River,Ike andTibarn receive word ofDaein working together withBegnion.Ranulf, among the others, finds this suspicious, as Daein was just recently fighting to free themselves from Begnion's oppression.Skrimir arrives, having healed from his wounds, and the group begins planning their next course of action.Soren states that they can use no other part of the Ribahn to cross, as it would lose them time and allow the Central Army to catch up. He also informs them of Daein's leader,Micaiah, and the supposed miracles she has performed, to their skepticism. He declares Micaiah's followers to be fanatics, making them dangerous opponents. As a head-on assault would result in one side being completely destroyed,Titania suggests using a decoy force; Soren sees merit to the idea, as Daein would not have knowledge of the previous decoy used against Begnion. Ike volunteers to lead the decoy force along with Ranulf to give the main forces time to cross the river, and Tibarn also offers some of his own men to help.

Before the decoy force arrives,Sothe informs Micaiah that their army will likely fight beorc forces—theGreil Mercenaries—soon, which neither looks forward to. Micaiah then asks Sothe to tell her more about Ike; he obliges, then she remarks that she and KingPelleas are nothing alike. While Sothe disparages Pelleas's lack of leadership skills, Micaiah continues to trust in him. Before the two can argue further, Ike and his force arrive, and they begin their mission.

After the battle has gone on for long enough,Ulki hears a message from Tibarn that the main forces have crossed the river, and relays this toJanaff, who relays it to Ike. The Gallians and hawks begin attacking the Daein forces from behind, surprising them. Knowing that they lost, Micaiah orders a retreat. Sothe notes that this has been the first time Micaiah has been unable to predict their enemies, then she seems to fall ill.

Meanwhile in Daein Keep, DukeLekain informs Pelleas of Micaiah's failure, and threatens to break Begnion's more friendly relationship with Daein. Pelleas begs him to give them one more chance; Lekain obliges, and proceeds to warp out of the keep. Afterwards,Almedha attempts to console Pelleas, but he refuses her efforts and goes off to rest.

Beginning log

The Daein army takes to the field and deals a heavy blow to the army of the Laguz Alliance. This sudden aggression shocks the Alliance like a lightning bolt on a clear day. With their only avenue of retreat blocked, the forces of the Laguz Alliance begin to despair. As the last shred of hope is fading, Skrimir appears before his troops and rallies them on, bolstering their failing strength. Gallian morale is further improved by the appearance of Tibarn and Ike's forces, who aid the beast army with talon and steel.

Strategy

This chapter marks the second time that the player fights against characters who were previously playable in earlier chapters, in this case, the Dawn Brigade. Depending on how well they trained while playable in Part I and in Chapter III-6, they may or may not be difficult to take down. Do not worry if their HP is dropped to zero in this chapter; they will simply retreat in lieu of dying permanently.

Similarly to the previous chapter, it is possible to haveJill orZihark change sides from Micaiah's army to Ike's if they are recruited in this chapter. While this can give them more units as well as act as a useful way of transferring items to Ike's army, additionally giving Jill or Zihark slightly more playable chapters to gain more experience to grow stronger (Zihark in particular will have his durability issues partially resolved due to no longer fighting enemy laguz), keep in mind that doing so will take them away from Micaiah's army for until Part IV. As such, it is not recommended to do this, as Micaiah's army is much more wanting for good units, while Ike's army is more than capable already. Jill in particular is also arguably one of the best units in Micaiah's army thanks to her great mobility and respectable stats, so taking her away from them will greatly hamper them in their upcoming chapters.

For a second playthrough onward only, to fulfill one of the conditions required to unlock a certain character near the end of the game,Ike must fight theBlack Knight and both must survive. The easiest way to do this is just to have IkeSpectre Card the Black Knight, as this stops the Black Knight from counterattacking. It is possible for Ike to survive a round of conventional combat if he attacks at range using aWind Edge (to avoid being OHKO'd byEclipse), but he will require 27 speed; Ike starts with 23 and has a 35% growth, so he may require theSpeedwing fromPart 1 Endgame to be smuggled over viaIlyana, Jill or Zihark; this is generally not worth the effort as the Spectre Card solution is much less resource-demanding. Regardless, after Ike attacks the Black Knight, he will need to be rescued out by another unit, usually a flier like Jill or Haar.

Also for a second playthrough onward only, if one wishes to view an extended epilogue scene revealing the identity of Soren's family, one of the conditions to see it requires Soren to fight Micaiah. This is extremely difficult as the latter is surrounded by units from the Dawn Brigade who, depending on how well the player trained them while playable, may or may not be a dangerous threat to Soren. Furthermore, even when not taking them into account, Micaiah is standing within range of the Black Knight, who is more than capable of killing Soren effortlessly. To avoid this risk, it is recommended for Calill to give her Meteor tome toNephenee,Brom,Heather, Haar, Lethe, or Mordecai in Chapter II-E so that they can pass it on to Soren, enabling him to attack Micaiah from outside the Black Knight's range. Otherwise, Soren would need to move forward and attack Micaiah, then have Haar or Jill rescue him immediately afterward.
