—In-game description, Shin Monshō
The Elysian Whip (天空のムチ Tenkū no muchi) is a promotional item that recurs throughout the Fire Emblem Series, permitting flying units Level 10 and above to promote into the second tier of their respective class lines. The Elysian Whip promotes Pegasus Knights into Falcon Knights and Wyvern Riders into Wyvern Lords.
In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, the Elysian Whip is known as the Dragon Whip (飛竜のムチ Hi ryū no muchi), or Skydrake Whip in the localization of the former. In these titles, the whip is specifically used to promote Pegasus Knights into Dragon Knights.
In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, the player is given the choice to promote Pegasus Knights and Wyvern Riders into Wyvern Knights, apart from the second-tier classes that are part of their original class lines.
In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, the Elysian Whip is specifically used to promote Pegasus Knights into Falcon Knights instead of Dracoknights. The Elysian Whip is made exclusive to the Online Shop in Shadow Dragon, and with the closure of all Wifi services to this title, this essentially means that this item is no longer obtainable outside of the Wii U Virtual Console release where the shop is available. In New Mystery of the Emblem, on the other hand, three such whips are obtainable during the course of normal gameplay (one is hidden in the desert, another in a chest and the last in a secret shop).
