🎮 ABOUT THE GAME 🎮
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems, and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console in 2004 for Japan and 2005 in the West. It is the eighth entry in the Fire Emblem series, the second to be released outside Japan, and the third and final title to be developed for the Game Boy Advance after The Binding Blade and its prequel Fire Emblem.
Set in a separate continuity to earlier Fire Emblem titles, The Sacred Stones takes place on the fictional continent of Magvel, which is divided into five nations, each built around a magical stone said to be linked to the imprisonment of an ancient demon. When one of the five nations, the Grado Empire, invades its neighbours and begins destroying the stones, protagonists Eirika and Ephraim of the royal family of Renais set out to gather allies and halt Grado's conquest, while also trying to uncover the reasons for the war. The gameplay is similar to previous Fire Emblem games, focusing on turn-based, tactical movement of units across a grid-based battlefield. Core features of the game include permanent death for characters defeated in battle and support conversations that grant advantages to certain units in battle.

📜 ABOUT THE CONTENT 📜
KratosMVN is a Fire Emblem content creator here on KZfaq, who has a deep love for the franchise. His main content on this channel will focus on solo runs and challenge runs of all kinds spanning over the entire Fire Emblem franchise. He held a deep love of Fire Emblem since his childhood when he first played Sacred Stones on his Gameboy SP. He remembers with fondness those long rides in the car just spent trying over and over again to make sure none of his beloved party members would perish... unless it was Knoll.
This video is similar to those of Jrose11, JRPG Jungle, and Faerghast in parts while Kratos also draws inspiration from Northenlion and Ludwig.

For the record, the Runesword "glitch" is technically not a glitch, or even an exploit. It's RNG manipulation, which even the most hardcore of speedrunners don't consider a glitch or exploit. Also, this Colm reminds me of my first Colm, who was an absolute UNIT of a fighter. I never got a Colm like him again, but glad to see Colm get his day in the limelight.

Sooo, alternate strategy for that first knight boss; couldn't you have just stalled him out? Unequip your sword, get hit, run to fort to heal, rinse and repeat until his weapon breaks, your sword attacks stop getting -1 damage so you can outpace his healing. Obviously, this would tank the turn ranking, but it should be impossible to fail at least, and wouldn't even need Franz's vulneraries. Looking forward to that Marisa run.

On the Sword thing, I think you have only 2 realistic options: 1. Use the Glitch and have some set time penalty for it, or 2. Remove the Gorgons that softlock sword locks. It's not the unit's fault the game wasn't designed around soloing it after all, and if you wanted to streamline things, removing the Gorgons that cause the problem would make it so every unit can do the map without issue. Though personally I think just deciding a reasonable time penalty and getting the Runesword is the more reasonable way of doing things.

There are only a few characters who can't solo the game : - Tethys : for obvious reasons - Myrrh : by technicality, as you can never have enough dragonstone uses with hacks - Moulder & Natasha & L'Arachel : for obvious reasons unless allowed to be promoted from the get go - Iness : has no 1 range option and will end up getting surrounded, soft locking the map Only 2 characters are in a gray area imo. - Rennac : just a worse Colm when leveled. He can technically succeed but needs to be RNG blessed beyond belief - Neimi : unlike Iness, she gets access to a 1 range option, eventually. Ranger is the only way but is it even possible to not only beat chapter 6 as an archer but also in time to get the Orion bolt? It will be interesting to find out

It was shocking how well Colm actually did against the bosses, like he kind of destroyed most of them. I will say that Colm is very underrated, he's actually amazing if you look at it from him being a thief, which tend to be useless in combat, Colm can actually do things and the Neimi support makes him a lot stronger too. I'm excited for the Neimi run now, I really think she can do it, once she becomes ranger it should be very doable, I actually think she can pull off a really solid time since she will have access to one and two range and will have two legendary weapons (If you get swords to S rank)

@kratosmvn_ 2 ай бұрын
The ending screen doesn't track your deaths, it tracks Wins / Loss which aren't determined by dying or not it's determined by I believe who got the favourable result in the combat. The only way to track deaths would be me doing it manually and it's quite tedious to do + doesn't give an accurate idea because some deaths happen due to inattention errors and such.

You have a lot of knowledgable people in your comments section with strategy suggestions - if you feel stuck, why not show us why exactly a Neimi run is so hard. What are the points of failure? What are the obvious solutions you've tried? It'd be fun for the audience and there's a good shot somebody would suggest something you haven't thought of.

hmm, continuing to use the runesword do deal damage and heal after clearing the ch 18 eggs that need a ranged weapon to hit feels a bit iffy to me. For a strict 'only use to do something that *needs* a ranged weapon to hit and nothing else' you should throw the runesword away after killing the two eggs on the cliffs. Still, nice to see the use of the runesword thing I (and probably others) mentioned as a way for sword only units to be able to solo the game and hit two 2 eggs on the cliffs in Ch 18 Neimi only run and Rennac only are going to be brutal, innes only run is probably also going to be pretty unpleasant since he doesn't even have the option of getting a 1 range weapon like neimi does since she can (and usually should) go ranger for her promotion, though if you do manage to get through the early game with neimi she does get the orion bolt pretty early in chapter....6 I think? If you manage to save all the NPCs from the spider in the mountains, so she's like mages that can get a really early promotion if things work out well for them. I'm not sure if Natasha or Moulder are even possible as solo runs since they aren't even capable of attacking until they promote, though i suppose you could give them an evil eye weapon for them to use to attack until they promote, then switch to using whatever magic type they get, or maybe go for a gimmick run like having natasha be a bishop that uses dark magic as a lark. I suppose that's an option for them both as well-give them 2 stones as starting weapons to get D rank dark magic, and then have them with 1-2 flux tomes so they can attack properly after getting D rank dark magic-they could be put in the same category as myrrh since she had to have a modified run to be able to clear the game

rng manipulation isnt considered a glitch in other speedruns ive watched, at worst it's an exploit and i think that's okay when you're putting in so much time and effort to entertain us!!

How do you do Neimi without a 1-2 range bow like the Mini bow from later games? Becasse until you get the Orion Bolt in Chapter 6, you can get boxed in.

That's the main point where the issue arises after Chapter 6 I honestly think the issues will be down to a minimum.

@@kratosmvn_ Yeah, I think Neimi has to become a ranger just for the option of 1-range.

chapter 9 was indeed close. but i'm curious, whether leaving colm unpromoted all the way to chapter 13 (where the body ring waits) would have been at least worth a consideration. i don't know how much luck you would have needed to survive without the promotion bonuses and the very welcome level ups coming after that. maybe it was impossible.

great videos! can you do the next one with possibly one of the worst units in the game -- neimi? just give her a steel bow in her starting inventory so she can do damage against the chapter.1 boss
