Chapter Quotes

Chapter 1 (White Clouds)

Vs. Dimitri

• Edelgard: Dimitri... It's time! We can finally settle the question of who's stronger.
• Dimitri: Very well. I accept your challenge. With you as my opponent, I won't hold anything back.
• Edelgard: I would expect no less!

Vs. Claude

• Claude: Look at that, a real-life princess! I"ll have to be careful not to scar that little face of yours.
• Edelgard: Careful, Claude. I'll win no matter what, but you're only making things harder for yourself.
• Claude: Losing hasn't even crossed your mind, has it? Ooh, this'll be a bit of shock, then.
• Edelgard: To shock was your intention to begin with, was it not?

Chapter 2 (White Clouds)

First Kill

• Edelgard: Regrettable...but there was no other way.

Vs. Kostas

• Kostas: Spoiled little noble! Just die like a good little rich kid!
• Edelgard: Do you really think being born a commoner gives you the right to kill? Despicable.

Chapter 4 (White Clouds)

Vs. Death Knight

• Edelgard: There's no way around it... I accept your challenge!
• Death Knight: Oh? This will be fun...

Chapter 7 (White Clouds)

• "It’s almost time to begin. Steel yourselves, everyone."

Vs. Dimitri

• Dimitri: So, it is time to cross blades… I have never imagined such a day would come to pass.
• Edelgard: If the Empire and the Kingdom go to war, we’ll be able to fight as much as we please.
• Dimitri: I am very sorry, but that is not something to joke about. The thought of fighting you is troubling at best.
• Edelgard: In that case, I wonder when you’ll be able to stomach facing me in battle… Do you need a few moments?

Vs. Claude

• Claude: Hey, Princess! Heads up! There's a rat right by your Imperial feet...
• Edelgard: BAH! I-- Huh. How dare you make a fool of me. You will not rile me with such childish tactics.
• Claude: Ah, so the sheer terror in your eyes was...something else entirely. My mistake. Anyway, it was only a joke.
• Edelgard: You really hope to unsettle me with childish jokes? It won't work. You must stand and fight!

Chapter 8 (White Clouds)

Vs. Solon

• Edelgard: Tomas! No... Solon. I will stop you.
• Solon: What?! If you insist on turning your blade against me, then expect no mercy.

Vs. Death Knight

• Death Knight: What are you trying to do here?
• Edelgard: You're the one who should be answering that question. Stay out of my way!

Chapter 10 (White Clouds)

Vs. Kronya

• Kronya: Huh? What are you- Are you here to kill me?
• Edelgard: I am. Prepare yourself for death while you still can.

Vs. Solon

• Solon: So, this is how it is... I cannot let you live!
• Edelgard: You stole the words from my mouth. You lost the moment you failed to kill the professor.

Chapter 12 (Crimson Flower)

Vs. Rhea

• Rhea: No matter your reasons, I cannot permit you to go on living any longer!
• Edelgard: The feeling is mutual. I must put a stop to your reign of tyranny!
• Rhea: You must know what a fool you are. The greatest of sins is to make an enemy of the goddess herself!
• Edelgard: I have only made an enemy of the church, not of the faith.

Chapter 14 (Crimson Flower)

Vs. Claude

• Claude: We haven't seen each other since Garreg Mach. You've grown lovelier than ever, Edelgard.
• Edelgard: You're not so unfortunate yourself. And as usual, you're here at a most inopportune moment.
• Claude: Well, I'm sure we have much to talk about... But how about we settle things first?
• Edelgard: No objections here. Prepare yourself, Claude.

Vs. Lysithea

• Edelgard: Lysithea. How unfortunate that a talented woman like you should throw her life away on a pointless battle.
• Lysithea: Ha, do not underestimate me. The fight is far from over, Edelgard!

Vs. Nader

• Nader: The emperor continues fighting at the front line. Is the Empire short on troops?
• Edelgard: Unfortunately, I can't deny it. But then, I've heard the Almyran king does the very same. You have traveled far. I do hope it's for a king who would not only lead his army but fight at their side.
• Nader: Touché... Yes, he is that sort of king!

Chapter 17 (Crimson Flower)

Vs. Dimitri

• Dimitri: Must you continue to conquer? Continue to kill?
• Edelgard: Must you continue to reconquer? Continue to kill in retaliation? I will not stop. There is nothing I would not sacrifice to cut a path to Fódlan's new dawn!
• Dimitri: Enough of this madness! This future of yours is built on a foundation of corpses and tears!

Vs. Rhea

• Rhea: An ancestor of the Hresvelgs, who became Adrestia's first emperor... He saved me. Supported me. Gave his all to the cause of defeating Nemesis. That I should find myself here at Tailtean, striking down his scion...
• Edelgard: I don't advise presumptions, Rhea. I will not die by your hand.

Chapter 18 (Crimson Flower)

Vs. The Immaculate One

• Edelgard: So it's true. You don't value human life at all. Isn't that right, Immaculate One?
• The Immaculate One: Nonsense! Fools who do not accept their own sins are undeserving of salvation! You humans are the ones who betrayed! You betrayed me, and you betrayed my mother!
• Edelgard: I did not betray you or her. I never believed in you from the beginning.

Enemy Edelgard

Chapter 1 (White Clouds)

Chapter 7 (White Clouds)

• Edelgard: What? I was just trying to rally your spirits. Now, to victory!

Chapter 12 (White Clouds)

"You will come to regret raising your blade against the emperor of the Adrestian Empire!"

Vs. Dimitri

• Dimitri: You're late. I... We are all tired of waiting. Now, let's separate that sick head from your neck, shall we?
• Edelgard: Heh. You never were one for patience.

Vs. Recruited Black Eagle

• "Think very carefully about whether you wish to raise your sword against the Empire...or if you will offer it to us in fealty. And after you've thought it through, if you still wish to fight, I won't stop you. I will simply use the full extent of my power...and crush you."

Chapter 17 (Azure Moon)

Vs. Byleth

• "I knew when next we met one of our paths would have to come to an end. Your journey ends here, Professor. Forever..."

Vs. Dimitri

• Dimitri: Stab your chest, break your neck, smash your head... I will allow you to choose your own death.
• Edelgard: I'm not interested in methods of dying. All that matters is when death takes place, not how.
• Edelgard: And I have no intention of dying today.
• Dimitri: I'm sure all of the people you've slaughtered so far thought the same!

Chapter 19 (Silver Snow)

“So you're another of the goddess's vanguard. You don't have even a shred of self-awareness, do you? Come at me, so that I may put you out of your misery!”
—Edelgard's Chapter 19 (Silver Snow) pre-battle quote

Vs. Byleth

“Professor... I suppose you think you can defeat me. Is that right? But I will never give up. Even if my arms and legs failed me, I would still find a way to move forward. I will smash that false goddess and her minion into the ground! I will fight to free this world from her vile grasp!”
—Edelgard's Chapter 19 (Silver Snow) pre-battle quote

Vs. Lysithea

• Edelgard: "Lysithea...you and I are so alike. We could have walked the same path."
• Lysithea: "We're alike? ....You don't mean to tell me...it's can't be!"
• Edelgard: "Yet now we're at the crossroads. There's no turning back. Must we fight each other for the things we believe in?"
• Lysithea: "That's exactly what's going to happen. And I will defeat you, Edelgard!"

Vs. Adrestian

“This has nothing do to with where you were born. That we are fighting now is only a result of the choices you've made. So I'm going to give that the response it deserves. I will crush you with everything I have!”
—Edelgard's Chapter 17 (Crimson Flower) pre-battle quote

Chapter 22 (Azure Moon)

“You shall be obliterated! I will take you out so fast you will not have a chance to lament...”
—Edelgard's Chapter 22 (Azure Moon) pre-battle quote

Vs. Byleth

“Facing you... I grow weak...”
—Edelgard's Chapter 22 (Azure Moon) pre-battle quote

Dining Hall

With Hubert

Unknown Support Level

Unknown Support Level

With Petra

Unknown Support Level

• Edelgard: Do you miss the food of your homeland, Petra? I wish there was a way to get some for you.

Unknown Support Level

With Ferdinand

• Edelgard: Nothing could slow me down for something trivial like this.

With Petra

Clearing Rubble

With Hubert

• Edelgard: It's rather impressive how well we destroyed this place. Some areas are still useless.

With Ferdinand

• Perfect result:
  • Ferdinand: Impressive. Your skills are unparalleled. You could have done it alone just as easily.

• Good result:
  • Edelgard: A decent result... at least we didn't run into any issues.
  • Ferdinand: It is my fault, I am afraid. I really dragged us down...

With Petra

• Good result:
