GameBoy Advance : Fire Emblem : Rekka no Ken Cheats
Below are the cheats, hints, and tips that Game Gas knows about for Fire Emblem : Rekka no Ken. On the right are
websites that may have additional cheat codes, hints, or tips for Fire Emblem : Rekka no Ken.
Quick Paladin
In Lyn's story in hard mode, you can get a Paladin. Because you do not have to class-up Wallace, train either Sain or Kent until they are level 20. The easiest way to do this is to take your time on Lundgren. Make sure he does not die until you reach those levels -- let him heal for a few turns in between attacks. When your Cavalier reaches level 20, use the Knight's Crest on him. Then when you go into Eliwood's or Hector's story and meet up with Lyn, you will have a Paladin who is much better than Marcus.
Purchasing supplies
On the same side quest where you get Karla, check out the shops. Any and every weapon is available. If you have Jaffer, you might want to get a few Killing Edges and any type of Weapon Triangle Reverse Weapon as well as Killer Axes, Lances, and Swords. There are also Silver Weapons. It is recommended that before you go in, that you take four of your soldiers who can use different weapons and trade their items away. Units on horseback are desirable. Then, take a total of how many and what kind of Lances, Swords, Axes, and Bows you need. Next, take the four soldiers that can purchase these weapons and have them stock themselves with the number of weapons needed. Before the next Chapter, trade all the weapons back, then trade the ones you purchased away. You do not need to worry about money, as Hector withdraws a a lot of money from the treasury before the mission.
Florina: Strong fighter
At first Florina is not the best fighter, especially since most of the enemies have axes. However in the chapter when you receive Dorcas, take advantage of the swordsman that keep appearing in the northeast where Lyn meets Dorcas. Put Florina in one of the trees and get Lyn and Dorcas out of the way so that they will only attack her. You should get her up by at least one level by the end of the turn. Then, have her attack the swordsman in the next chapter. You can also use Florina to finish off Bosses that have been weakened by strong warriors such as Kent, Lyn, and Dorcas, and she will gain a massive amount of experience points. By doing this, when it comes to Eliwood's adventure she will not be useless and use the first Elyspian Whip you get for her, and she will be a strong FalcoKnight.
Building your party
You never know who you can get to join your party. Always try talking to important people, such as Bosses and people who you have seen before. This does not put you in danger. Once you go up to someone, the "Talk" option may appear. If it does not appear, press B to move your character somewhere else, or you can just select the "Talk" command. There are many more characters that can join your party than you may think.
Thorre's Litany
Get Florina to a high level. Use the Elaysian Whip in Chapter 20 to level her up. The Elaysian Whip is in the northeast village. Get the Spear from the Boss in Chapter 21. Equip Florina with it. In Chapter 22, fly Florina over to the lower pair oif bones. Put her on top of the one on the left. When she attacked the hammer-wielding bandit, it will not kill him, but Florina will find a ring called Thorre's Litany. It raises attack power.
Support
Whenever a character dies, they will usually say the name of a character. That character is usually someone who you can support with. This is useful before Nils does Auguries.
Triangle attack
To use this powerful attack you will need Florina, Fiora, and Farina. First, put two of the Pegasuses or Falco Knights next to the enemy and do not attack. Then, have the third attack. This is very powerful and it never misses.
Earth Crest
In the mission just before you can get Neo and Jaffar, where Wallace shows up, in the first village an old man will talk with you. When you are finished, he will give you an Earth Crest. This crest will allow you to upgrade any character higher than level 10. It is useful, but it is recommended that you go in with an a strong flyer such as Heath the wyvren rider. You must contend with an archer that has a silver bow. In the other village, you will get a Silence Staff to help you fight the Queen Of The 4 Fangs.
Bonus items
This requires a link cable, Gamecube, and the Mario Kart Double Dash Bonus Disc. You can receive the following items by connecting your Game Boy Advance to the bonus disc: Dragon Axe, Silver Card, Wind Sword, Energy Ring, Emblem Seal, Dragon Shield, Emblem Blade, Body Ring, Emblem Axe, Thor's Ire, Angelic Robe, Emblem Lance, Secret Book, Emblem Bow, and Goddess Icon. You will also receive two additions to the sound room: #99 Legend Of the Dragon God and #100 Royal Palace of Silezha.
Ocean Seal
In the mission where you get Hawkeye, you can obtain a very unique item found nowhere else in the game called an Ocean Seal, which can be used to upgrade pirates, (DART) making them a Berserker like Hawkeye. The item is buried in the sand at the last row of spaces near Hawkeye's entrance. Get a Thief to stand on top of the right space to get it.
Special ending
You can access a special ending at the end of Hector's story. First, get Farina to join you in Chapter 25, and then get Hector to and her to a "A" Support Level. At the end (when Hector is talking to you before you leave) Farina will come in during the conversation.
Defeating the Fire Dragon
Stay out of the Fire Dragon's range. It has a range of three spaces, the same as a longbow. Hopefully you had the foresight to transform your other lords into their respective second class character. (Lyn - Blade Lord and Hector - Great Lord). Lyn's Sol Katti, given to her by Athos, was fashioned for dealing with Wyverns; therefore, it can actually deal some damage to the dragon. If you happen to have Thor's Ire (Nils can use it to raise critical levels), then use it on Lyn. Her critical percentage will be raised and you might get lucky enough to see an incredible show. All of this relies on the fact that you can keep her alive -- HP in the 40's is best). Keep Eliwood a few paces away from Lyn in order to rescue her once she has completed her attack on the dragon. The Elixirs you have will be useful for keeping her alive. Also, a Druid/Sage/Bishop with Heal/Mend can also aid you. Keep attacking/rescuing/healing with Lyn until the dragon dies. This may take some time, but it keeps your company alive. Also, if Lyn is not a Blade Lord, try using Hector's Armads, if he is a Great Lord; do not use Eliwood -- the Durandal may seem like a good idea but for some reason the dragon can attack twice if you use it. Also, you will need him or Marcus to rescue the attacker.
Control enemy units
Place a mine anywhere on the field. When an enemy unit walks onto it, and while they are taking damage, reset the game. When you continue the game, it will shows the enemy being damaged again. You can then control your enemy units. Use this to your advantage by making them discard all of their items, retreat, or attack units that you want to level up. Note: Enemy units can only be controlled for one turn.
Random sound test
After unlocking the "Sound Test" option, choose it then press Select. A random music track will begin. Press Left or Right to cycle through the songs. Press B or Select to return to the normal sound test.
Merlinus
In Ch.13(13), have a unit visit the village in the top left corner to unlock 13x. Protect Merlinus in 13x and he'll be unlocked
View picture gallery
Go to the sound test once you have unlocked it, then press R. The screen for selecting songs will disappear. Every time you press A, the picture will change-It should have all of the the still pictures of events that you have gotten, with several more in addition. Press B or Start to exit.
