GameBoy Advance : Fire Emblem Cheats
Below are the cheats, hints, and tips that Game Gas knows about for Fire Emblem. On the right are
websites that may have additional cheat codes, hints, or tips for Fire Emblem.
Secret Shops
Secret Shops are hidden on the maps and can only be found by a character with a Member's Card special item, which can be stolen from an enemy in chapter 19. These Secret Shops sell high-level weapons and even items to promote your characters.
Chapter 19 - One is in the clearing between the two broken walls above the room with the two treasure chests in the upper left corner of the map, and the other is behind a wall in the lower-right corner.
Chapter 21 - The empty room in the upper-left corner of the map.
Chapter 23 - There are two versions of this map. If the boss is Linus, the shop will be on the right side of the map, on the island. Otherwise, it will be in the trees above the lone house slightly left of center.
Chapter 29 - In the two-by-two square area left of the lone treasure chest at the bottom-left. You must use a warp staff to get there.
Chapter 30 - In the very upper-right corner of the map, among the trees.
Control Enemy
Have anyone of your characters lay a mine in front of an ememy unit. When the enemy unit steps on the space where the mine is a purple-ish colored fire will come up out of that spacce. When you see the fire, turn of your game and wait for 3 seconds, then turn the game back on. You will see the fire come out again and after the fire damages the enemy unit you can control the enemy's units until the end of the turn. Turning the game while enemy units are in your control cancels the cheat and ALL enemy units are then no longer under your command!
Good party
Since you cant bring every person on a chapter that you have gotten, choosing the people to bring can be critical, if you choose the wrong people...

Good way to level and lots of money
In chapter 23, when you are fighting against Lloyd(if the sum of the levels of your lords are below 50, not sure if the same thing is in linu's map), the requirments for this is very simple for getting high levels. the char you want to level, a valkery(or the level before that, or any healer), and a extra char of any sort you think can be wasted, and have all the enemies defeated other than Lloyd/Linu, there are some vendors on the bottom right of the game screen, have your healer stand next to the arena, then have the char you want to level go into the area with full health, then fight. normally at a fight like that, and you have full health, you can't lose, so you can keep on fighting in arena, and after the fight heal with the healer(if the char is hurt too much, used another healer with physics). because you can run out of healing staff, use the last char to run between the healer and the vendor. because of the levels of the enemies that you're fighting against is about 1 level higher than you, you can always get about 50 exp from each fight, meaning you get a level every 2 fights, very good for reaching that impossible lv 20. and since you'll never run out of money(because of the wager), healing items(the extra char running back and forth), and life(keeps healing), and turns of doing nothing(linu/Lloyed doesn't move through the chapter, they just stand there and attack if you're standing next to it, and you're supposed to have all the normal enemies and reinforcements taken care of)you can get higher levels faster than fighting normal enemies. PS: if you think you're losing in the arena, and it happens because of weapon disadvantage, and the char might die, press B and get out of the fight, heal, and come back later, you'll lose little money, which will be lost even if you lose the figh, and you can save the trouble of restarting the chapter eventhough you're almost done because you don't want to lose a character and want to have a perfect game.

Getting Raven And Lucius
On chapter 16, the one where you regain Lyn's castle you can get Raven the mercenary and also have the monk Lucius rejoin your party. To do this bring Pricilla in the battle. Protect her until she reaches her long lost brother Raymond (Raven). Hopefully you do this before the soliders escape or they might hurt him. Let Pricilla talk to raven and get him on your team. Then let Raven talk to Lucius. They are great characters to add to the team.

Weapon Advantage
In the game there is a weapon triangle. The triangle is axes are stronger than lances, lances are stronger than swords and swords are stronger than axes. Using this method will defeat your opponents quicker and easier.

If you successfully complete the side quest, you'll get the option to dispatch Merlinus, a merchant who will store some of your items when you can't carry them. Just follow the instructions that follow after you get merlinus.
Play As Hector As The Main Character
Beat Eliwood's Game and watch the entire ending. Then, save your game and then you can play as Hector.
Weaken Stronger Bosses
An easy way to defeat strong bosses use indirect combat before using Lyn or another direct attack. In level 10 you can also pick up a steel bow for Wil and Rath. This helps a lot against final bosses.
Mercenary Raven
Early in Eliwood's story, you will have a mission where you recapture Lyn's castle. A mercenary named Raven, (pointed out in a cut scene) is in actuality Priscila's brother. Have her talk to him to convince him to join your cause.
