—Opening Narration
To Slay a God is Chapter 25 of Fire Emblem Awakening. The chapter takes place in Origin Peak.
Story[]
Arriving at Origin Peak, Naga reminds Chrom once more that even with her blessing, that power can only seal Grima. When Robin comments this to her, she immediately recognizes that they carry Grima's Fell Blood. Having time to mull over her words on the way to the volcano, Robin surmises that since they are Fell Blood, if they land the final attack on Grima, he would have effectively "killed himself". Naga believes that such would fulfill the conditions, however she warns that their ties to Grima would mean that doing so would also cause Robin to die. Chrom forbids them from doing so, but Robin is left to decide what to do with this information.
Reaching the base of the volcano, they are met by the final vestiges of the Grimleal lead by Aversa in a final attack of revenge for her fallen master Validar. The battle ends in her death and nothing left but the final battle against Grima himself.

This chapter can be very difficult if you take it slowly and your characters aren't leveled/reclassed at least a couple of times. Over the course of the game, you are bound to have the equipment to be able to complete this chapter in a couple of turns. There will be a large number of enemy reinforcements arriving, so unless you need to level up a bit more, they can be ignored. Your goal is to defeat Aversa, but she is far away from your starting area.
What you can do is power up your characters with Rally skills (such as Spectrum and Magic) and use a Rescue Chain all the way to Aversa (you need one Magic user with high move and high magic, so give Anna or Lissa a Magic Tonic and any Spirit Dust you may have). This does require someone who can go over the mountain terrain (such as a flying unit). This could be Anna, assuming she reached Level 15 as a Trickster, but Lissa reclassed into a Falcon Knight can do it as well. Having both makes it even easier. Then you can boost a single attacker with Rally skills to defeat Aversa very quickly.
Aversa herself has fairly high stats, but almost any Pair Up combination with both characters making use of her physical weaknesses (a forged Beast Killer, Bows, or a Noble Rapier) and reaching 50 Speed (through Speed Tonic, Pair-Ups and Rally skills) make it very possible to defeat her in one round of attacks. With the right amount of stat boosts, weapons, and skills, Aversa should go down quite quickly. If you do not mind resetting, you can even use a character with Lethality for a last-resort option.
