—Opening Narration, Mystery of the Emblem
Battle of the Pass is Chapter 18 of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and its remake.
The village on the south-west contains the Lifesphere AND signals retreat to the horsemen and paladin in the north, allowing you to spare the Wolfguard units for recruitment later. You can kill the generic units with them, however, with no consequence.
There is a secret shop selling Master Seals and Elysian Whips in this chapter. It is 5 squares to the east then 2 squares north from the save point.
There is also an Arms Scroll inside the cave.
Strategy
This chapter is not too much challenging, as long as you visit the village quickly. There are two easy ways of going about this chapter, the moderately fast, or the single turn strategy, although you may want to go with the latter, should you be low on Warp staff and Hammerne uses, as Warp can make Chapter 20 a lot less painful, and will allow you to get some very good items in Chapter 23.
For the moderately fast strategy, you can do one of two things. Either Warp Marth onto the village, or have a combination of a staff user with Again and Phina chain so that he can visit the village on turn 1, forcing all of the Paladins in the north to flee turn 1, and allowing you to take as much time as you want for the rest of the chapter.
For the single turn strategy, Warp Marth onto the village to get the Lifesphere, then Rescue Marth back. Dance for Marth, then have someone else Warp him beside the boss. Defeat the boss with Marth, then use the Again staff to seize the throne. If Marth cannot one-round the boss, warp another unit over to the boss and use them to defeat him, then Warp Marth and seize.
In the remake, try to ignore fighting the Wolfguard as much as possible so you can recruit them later on.
