freqrexy's video: Fire Emblem: Awakening - Hard Classic Speedrun - 58:00 4 5 - Chapters 18-25

I'm Rexy, I remix game music, and I just so happen to be decent at videogames. I'm mediocre at speedrunning though but I do them to challenge myself sometimes =) This is the fourth part of a sub-hour speedrun I did on Fire Emblem: Awakening on the 3DS. All major comments about it can be seen in the first part. --- CHAPTER 18: Could this be potentially doable in 3 turns without the use of boots? I'm not too sure. The path down the middle was just winged in 4. CHAPTER 19: Quickly got another Arcfire for the next fight. Still, couldn't defeat Walhart in 3 turns, but I DID get Galeforce earlier than expected, which is nice. CHAPTER 20: Thanks to Galeforce, I cleared the two sub-bosses on the first turn and saved myself another shopping trip due to the Bolagnone drop. Even got Walhart in one strike too! CHAPTER 21: Talking of shopping, I had a few takes where I couldn't survive the map with just the Bolagnone, so got myself an Elthunder just in case here. With Chrom now at level 15, I promoted him to Great Lord here. The actual chapter went okay; may have been a bit slow with some of the commands in the middle, but... deja vu; BOLAGNONE SURVIVED THE ENTIRE MAP. Oh well, Elthunder was still used handily later. CHAPTER 22: SHUT THE HELL UP AVERSA. Had a few failed attempts where Elthunder wasn't enough to kill any of the generals up the top in one strike (therefore Galeforce fail), so grabbed an Arcthunder for this map. CHAPTER 23 (well this looks familiar...): The problem with this map is planning the route after the barrier comes down - re-inforcements are likely to show up before turn 6 starts, and to make it worse it's in a random place too. So instead I focused on risk - using Galeforce tactics to go after Walhart, taking into account the knights' poor flexibility to plan the rest of the sweep left of the map, and just going all out. So lucky the reinforcements came from the right when they had been apparently left on previous attempts. CHAPTER 24: Terrible map for speedrunning. Lots of horses, lots of forest squares, terrible place to plan. DO NOT LEARN FROM ME HERE other than putting MyUnit closer to Chrom at the starting grid. CHAPTER 25: Needed another Thoron for the rest of the game, so got one before taking this map on. Nothing to say about the map other than Galeforce + Dark Flyer = win. -To be concluded in part 5-
