Fire Emblem Awakening: Recruiting Roy

Leave a comment

Last Thursday another new piece of Fire Emblem Awakening DLC was released (check out my full review of Awakening to find out why you should care). Called Champions of Yore 2, this new pack allows players to recruit Roy, yet another legendary hero from FE‘s illustrious past. Gamers outside Japan probably best know Roy as one of the playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee, so this is a great opportunity for those who aren’t into importing Japanese titles to see the teen in his natural state – on a grid-based field of battle!

Take a look at the new DLC below, then check it out for yourself by visitng Outrealm Gate (this opens up after you’ve reached Chapter 5). Enjoy!

Playing Fire Emblem Awakening's Marth DLC

Leave a comment

As Fire Emblem fans probably already know (and are freaking out about), the first piece of DLC for the latest entry in the series – Fire Emblem Awakening – is a rather exciting one. It allows players to recruit Marth to their team, the legendary prince from the very first game. More characters from old FE games are also set to be distributed via DLC and SpotPass updates in the near future, and a new DLC map is going to be made available every week for the first two month’s after the game’s February 4 launch – but this is certainly the most epic way to kick off this incredible game’s North American debut. The DLC is also free for a limited time, so be sure to snag it right away.

To get Marth on your team, you’ll need to first play through to Chapter 5. This will open up Outrealm Gate, which is located to the south. From there, just go to Purchase Maps, download the Marth map, and then go to Play a Map to, well… play the map. After that all you have to do is win the battle (be sure to talk to the characters for some cool dialogue) and Marth will join your team. Fire Emblem fans will notice some other familiar faces during the course of the battle too, such as Ike from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn or Eirika from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
