You're here. At last. Now, once and for all.
— Xander

Xander (Japanese:暗夜王子マークスDark Night Prince Marks) is twenty-sixth chapter of theBirthright campaign inFire Emblem Fates. In this chapter,Xander challengesCorrin to a duel, placing himself as the last obstacle between them andGaron.

Plot

Main article:Xander (chapter)/Script

Xander instructs his retainers,Laslow andPeri, to stay back from the fighting, as he plans to duel Corrin to limit further casualties, though none are certain the Hoshidans will honor the duel. AsElise leads Corrin's army closer to Garon, they find Xander, who challenges Corrin to a duel; Elise attempts to talk him down, but he ignores her, taking this as her abandoning Nohr, and declares nothing she say will dissuade him. The Hoshidans decide not to intervene as Xander leads Corrin away. Xander and Corrin begin their duel in the great hall, but Xander is clearly superior. At his mercy, Corrin attempts to persuade Xander to join them against Garon, but is unsuccessful. Xander strikes at Corrin once more, but Elise intercepts the attack; Elise begs Xander to stop fighting as she dies in his arms. Xander lays Elise's body down and resumes their fight with Corrin. Xander's retainers arrive with soldiers; they ask who killed Elise, and when Xander does not answer, they disobey his orders to retreat and begin fighting the Hoshidans.

Corrin defeats Xander, and Xander compliments them on how they have grown. Corrin demands to know why Xander let them win, but Xander reminisces on memories with his siblings. Corrin asks why he continued to fight when ceasing would have saved their life, but Xander dismisses the hypothetical and states they were on different paths. Xander laments having to fight Corrin, and requests they make the world better and stop Garon as he dies. Corrin grieves Xander's death, but affirms to honor his and Elise's sacrifices by stopping Garon.

Summary

Leo's aid allows the group to defeat Iago. Closer to the throne room, they encounter the most powerful enemy they have yet faced in battle.

Strategy

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

Before the chapter begins, it is worth noting that Corrin cannot start the chapter paired up in order to have a proper duel with Xander (not that they need it). Due to Xander's poor stats and his proximity to your army's starting position, it is very easy to complete this chapter in a single turn regardless of difficulty. In particular, his low speed and resistance mean that magic attacks make quick work of him, even in spite ofAegis. Some particularly effective means of defeating him include theBolt Naginata, theBeast Killer, and, like with nearly all else,Ryoma. Xander's chamber can easily be entered as there is only ever a singleGeneral blocking the way; it is merely a matter of killing him and then opening the door through use ofLocktouch to reach Xander. Unlike inConquest's Counterpart to this chapter, where his doors can only be opened after defeating his retainers. Mounted units andAzura can be helpful in bringing your main fighters to Xander if they cannot reach him otherwise.
