Plot

Main article:The Wellspring of Truth/Script

At the Wellspring of Truth,Frederick informsChrom that the wellspring is said to reflect one's "true self".Robin noticesAversa, who taunts them to "give chase", and Chrom decides to follow in case she poses a threat to the surrounding people.

As the battle begins, Aversa states that truth may be found by facing the spring. Chrom demands answers from her, but is interrupted by a being identical to Chrom emerging from the spring; Chrom resolves to put down the mirages to end the confusion.

After the battle, if Aversa survived, she sees a vision of her life beforeValidar, and of what Validar did to her—Aversa was a mostly normal girl with a natural gift for magic; when Validar found out, he took her, killed all who knew her, and erased her memories and replaced them with ones wherein he saved her and took her in. Aversa vows to killGrima to spare others her fate, and the Shepherds agree to work with her. If Aversa did not survive, Chrom wonders aloud what the beings from the spring were, and states that it is up to oneself to decide who they truly are as a person.

Strategy

This paralogue is a mirror boss chapter, which could very well be one of the easiest or hardest maps inFire Emblem Awakening depending on character stats. The mirages copy your deployed units' skills and usable weapons, and always carry Silver variants of all weapon categories.

One cheat is to demote your characters using aSecond Seal, then give all of themMaster Seals to use during battle. This works especially well for classes incapable of attacking, asLissa andMaribelle become unable to participate in fights. Another trick is to recruit legacySpotPass characters in case your roster has too many strong units, which can make this paralogue much harder than imaginable.
