The Ageless Palace

"The holy kingdom of Akaneia had come into being six centuries earlier, when the region's numerous city-states were unified under one monarch. The first king, Adrah, had fought valiantly to accomplish this, wielding the three weapons he came to call his regalia- gifts from the gods, some said.

''The kingdom Adrah forged was pronounced holy; its kings were esteemed. With Akaneia's aid, six more independent kingdoms sprang up in their own time. But Akaneia was always the greatest- and now, Marth was about to take his first walk through its historic palace's halls."''

The Ageless Palace is chapter 12 of the game Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. You will find that there are 2 bosses in this level.

This chapter isn't dificult, but medium; there are thieves there, then don't let they approach of the chests. Reinforcements in this place can give good EXP to your units, then let 4 units in the start to kill them.

Marth (with Fire Emblem) and Julian can open all chests and open the door that holds Midia, Tomas and the others. Remembering that have there 2 Archers and a mage attacking them all turns (probably they will kill 1 or 2 of them if you don't kill then quickly).

There are a Manakete in the castle, he will not move if you don't approach, kill him if you want, he has a obtainable Vulnerary.

The boss (Volzhin) has 2 healers of him side, kill them and make a triple attack to kill the boss without problems.

The other boss (Heimler) won't stay calm, in the second turn, he will open the door and goes to attack you, then take care.

Comments

 * Midia - A paladin who has fallen in love with Astram. She is an average paladin, usage varies with player opinion.


 * Tomas - An archer that bears an uncanny resemblance to Gordin. If you are already using a ranged unit that is high level, Tomas is not recommended to replace them. Usage varies with player opinion.


 * Boah - A bishop with nothing to brag about. Just like Wendell, he cannot take the place of Lena or Maria once they've become bishops but if they're dead, Boah can do something... Usage varies with player opinion.
