Garreg Mach Monastery: Difference between revisions

The '''Garreg Mach Monastery''' (pronounced {{IPA|ˌgɛɹɛg ˈmɑk}}, Japanese: {{hl|ガルグ＝マク大修道院|Garugu Maku dai Shūdō-in}} ''Garreg Mach Monastery'') is a large structure situated in the mountain range at the center of [[Fódlan]]. It houses a cathedral dedicated to the [[Church of Seiros]] and facilities for the Officers Academy. At the Officers Academy there are three houses, the [[Black Eagles]], [[Blue Lions]], and [[Golden Deer]]. Students from the [[Adrestian Empire]], the [[Holy Kingdom of Faerghus]], and the [[Leicester Alliance]] attend the academy. It also acts as the hub for {{FE16}}.

The monastery would then become the base of the Central Church and Fódlan's primary religious institution. Politically, it is neutral territory in the centre of Fódlan. Somewhere around 980, following an invasion by the forces of [[Almyra]], the officer's academy would be founded at Garreg Mach Monastery in an effort to train Fódlan's youth to resist future invasions.

In the year 1180, when ''Three Houses'' takes place, it is the residence of archbishop [[Rhea]]. [[Byleth]] and [[Jeralt]] are brought to the monastery after they are found by [[Alois]] and Byleth is offered a teaching position at the officer's academy. During [[The Goddess's Rite of Rebirth|Chapter 4]], the monastery is raided by soldiers of the Western Church, who Byleth and their class are encountered by at the Holy Mausoleum. After the battle, their leader finds the [[Sword of the Creator]] in the coffin dedicated to Saint Seiros. After his defeat, Byleth is given the sword.

Two months later, during [[Rumors of a Reaper|Chapter 6]], [[Flayn]] is kidnapped. While searching for her, Byleth and their class find a hidden passage in [[Jeritza]]'s room that reveals an underground room complex. There, they find the [[Death Knight]] as well as Flayn and [[Kronya|Monica]]. They manage to drive off the Death Knight, but due to those events, [[Seteth]] considers leaving the monastery as he no longer thinks it is safe for him and his sister to stay there. Flayn and Byleth convince him that the knights and professors at the monastery are the safest environment for the two, and Flayn joins Byleth's class. For a short time, life at the monastery returns to normal, with the traditional Battle of the Eagle and Lion and the White Heron Cup alongside as well as a big ball being held as usual.

During an attack by [[Demonic Beast]]s on the monastery, Monica kills Jeralt from behind. When giving chase to his murderer, Byleth is seperated from their class as [[Solon]] sends them off to [[Zahras]]. To escape, Sothis grants Byleth her power, changing their hair and eye colour and returning the true power of the Sword of the Creator in the process. Because of this, Rhea wishes for Byleth to sit on Sothis's throne at the Holy Mausoleum to receive a revelation from the goddess.

As they try to hold ceremony, Rhea, Byleth, and their class are attacked by the imperial army led by the [[Flame Emperor]] and [[Metodey]] who attempt to steal as many [[Crest Stone]]s as possible from the Holy Mausoleum. Their attempt fails, but during the battle (or if the Black Eagles were chosen, before the battle), the Flame Emperor's identity is revealed to be Edelgard. As her identity is no longer a secret, she now openly declares war on the Church of Seiros and leads an attack on the monastery in the following month. Her attack succeeds, and the monastery is taken over by Adrestia.

Five years later, the Black Eagles students meet at the monastery due to a promise they made to Byleth. Byleth, who only just awakened after five years of unconsciousness, runs into [[Edelgard]] first. Edelgard attempts to persuade Byleth to join her cause once again, but they refuse. They briefly fight each other before Edelgard leaves to return to the Empire. Seteth, who returned to the monastery along with the [[Knights of Seiros]] after they failed to find Rhea, finds Byleth at the monastery. Together, they decide to fight back against the bandits who have been using the monastery as a hideout. During the battle, the remaining Black Eagles students – with the exception of [[Hubert]] – also arrive and assist them in driving back the bandits.

After the war with the Empire has ended and [[those who slither in the dark]] are defeated, Rhea can no longer control her anger and transforms into the Immaculate One. The monastery becomes the battlefield for the fight against her and the cardinals of the Church of Seiros who have accepted blood from Rhea. After she is defeated, she lands at the cathedral and transforms back into her human form.

Like the Black Eagles in their route, the Blue Lions students meet at the monastery due to a promise they made to Byleth. Byleth, who only just awakened after five years of unconsciousness, meets [[Dimitri]] at the monastery. Dimitri, now possessed by his hatred, immediately decides to hunt down the Bandits who have used the mastery as a hideout. Byleth accompanies him. During the battle, the remaining Blue Lions students – with the exception of [[Dedue]] – also arrive and assist them in driving back the bandits.

Led by Randolph, the imperial army attempts to take back the monastery, but when their attempt fails and Randolph is killed by Byleth, they are forced to give up the monastery. In the following months, the monastery becomes the Kingdom army's new base of operations and the students make an attempt to do some repair work at the monastery.

Like the other two houses, the Golden Deer students meet at the monastery due to a promise they made to Byleth. Byleth, who only just awakened after five years of unconsciousness, meets [[Claude]] at the monastery. Claude then decides to pass the time by hunting down the bandits who have been using the monastery as a hideout for the past five years. During the following battle, the remaining Golden Deer students arrive at the monastery and help Claude and Byleth to defeat [[Pallardó]] and his men. After the battle, the Knights of Seiros also arrive at the monastery after searching for the missing Archbishop Rhea for the past five years. Together, the Alliance army and the Knights of Seiros decide to resist against the monastery under the banner of a new resistance army, and choose to use the monastery as their base of operations due to it being neutral ground while Leicester is split between those who support the Empire and those who want to resist against it.

Led by Randolph, the imperial army attempts to take back the monastery, but when their attempt fails and Randolph dies, they are forced to give up the monastery. In the following months, the monastery remains the Resistance army's base of operations and the students make an attempt to do some repair work at the monastery.

Unlike in the other routes, in the Crimson Flower route, the Imperial army does not abandon Garreg Mach Monastery. Instead, Edelgard and her former classmates – who are now united under the banner of the Black Eagle Strike Force – are at the monastery when Byleth reappears after going missing during the initial attack on the monastery five years prior. Following Byleth's reappearance, Adrestia makes progress towards Leicester, but while they are busy with subduing the Alliance, the Church of Seiros – who have fled to Faerghus – is preparing an attack on the monastery. Byleth, Edelgard, and their army return to the monastery in time, but they now have to defend it against a force led by Seteth. In the following battle, depending on player actions, Seteth and Flayn are either killed or forced to retreat and go into hiding. While Byleth and their army are fighting Seteth's forces, the rest of the Imperial army is defending the monastery against a force led by Rhea and [[Catherine]]. This force is also driven back, but notable commanders, including Randolph and [[Ladislava]], fall in battle. The monastery remains in the possession of the Imperial army for the remainder of the route.

In the Cindered Shadows side story, it is revealed that a secret underground city exists below the monastery. This city, known as [[Abyss]], is a refuge for those who have been shunned on the surface and is also home to an unofficial fourth house, known as the [[Ashen Wolves]] house. Byleth and their students decide to help the Ashen Wolves to defend against those who seek to destroy Abyss, and end up finding the Chalice of Beginnings hidden beneath the monastery. After they escape from its guardians, they find that [[Aelfric]]—the cardinal who has been responsible for Abyss—has been abducted. Byleth, the Ashen Wolves, and the remaining students attempt to rescue him, but after they defeat the bandits, [[Yuri]] steals the chalice from Byleth. Aelfric then reveals that he wishes to obtain the chalice as well as the blood of the Four Apostles to perform a ritual. He attempts to perform the ritual at the Holy Tomb, but it fails and he transforms into an [[Umbral Beast]]. Byleth and their students end up fighting the Umbral Beast at the cathedral, and after they succeed in taking it down, the Ashen Wolves house is officially disbanded by Rhea. However, she decides to keep Abyss as a refuge for those in need.

Similar to ''Three Houses'', in {{FEWA2}}, [[Shez]], the game's protagonist, is taken to the monastery after they assisted Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude to defend themselves against [[Kostas]] and his bandits. Shez is then allowed to join one of the three houses as a student, with Jeritza becoming their new professor. However, due to the ongoing conflicts in all three nations of Fódlan, Rhea decides to close the Officer's Academy, allowing the students to return to their homes.

Two years later, Edelgard declares war on the Church of Seiros. The first step in this war is an attack on the monastery. The attack succeeds, and Rhea, Seteth, Flayn, and the Knights of Seiros are forced to abandon the monastery and escape to the Faerghus. Garreg Mach Monastery then becomes the new residence for [[Count Varley]], the bishop of the newly restored Southern Church. The monastery remains in the posession of the Imperial army for the rest of the war, and is sometimes used as a base for its military forces. However, the Central Church launches multiple attempts to retake the monastery. During [[A Path Forward|the final chapter]], the monastery is besieged by both the Central Church's forces and those who slither in the dark and the Imperial army has to fight against both armies at once to maintain their control over the monastery. It is possible for Count Varley to die during this battle, but if this happens, Hubert simply installs a new bishop in his place. At the end of the battle, Shez, Edelgard and their allies fight against both Rhea and [[Thales]], and, at the end of this battle, claim victory over both. Rhea and Thales die as the bridge that connects the Cathedral to the rest of the monastery collapses beneath them. After this battle, the monastery remains under control of Adrestia.

Edelgard declares war on the Church of Seiros and attacks the monastery, forcing the Central Church to abandon it and escape to the Faerghus. Adrestia then installs the bishop of the southern church, Count Varley, in Garreg Mach Monastery. The monastery remains in possession of Adrestia for most of the war until the Kingdom, the Church of Seiros, and Leicester join forces against the Empire. In their [[The End of Tragedy|final mission]], they manage to kill Count Varley and Thales—who has seized control over the Empire after Edelgard's defeat at [[Arianrhod]]—and take back the monastery.

Due to houses Gloucester and Phlegethon's support, Adrestia marches toward Garreg Mach Monastery and seizes of it. After taking the monastery, they continue their conquest into Leicester. The monastery remains in possession of Adrestia. After the Alliance and the Empire form a pact, the Faerghus and the Central Church attempt to take back the monastery. The Alliance forces aid Edelgard and her forces to defend against the attackers, forcing both Dimitri and Rhea to retreat. Dimitri retreats to [[Fhirdiad]], while Rhea attempts to make a last attempt to defeat the Alliance army at [[Tailtean Plains]]. The monastery remains under the control of Adrestia.

In ''Three Houses'', Garreg Mach Monastery acts as the game's hub. It can be explored freely, similar to later locations like the [[Base Camp]] from ''Three Hopes'' or the [[Somniel]] from {{FE17}}. As game's structure is built around the monastery, it features many different mechanics.

 

The Calendar dictates life at the monastery. On certain days, special events – such as a character's [[birthday]] take place. On most Mondays, Byleth will be able to [[Lesson|teach their students]]. On most Sundays, Byleth will have a free day and the player will be presented four choices:

Choosing "Fight" will allow the player to attempt [[auxiliary battle]]s and [[paralogue]]s, while "Rest" will slightly restore all students' motivation as well as 5 points of [[durability]] on the Sword of the Creator. The Mechanics of "Explore" and "Seminar" are covered on this page.

Most activities at the monastery will consume Activity points. The player will start out each exploration session with their current maximum amount of Activity points, with no way to increase the amount mid-exploration. The amount of activity points the player has is determined by Byleth's [[professor level]]. If Byleth's professor level increases during an exploration session, their maximum activity points will increase, however, they will not gain any additional activity points for the current session.

Bulletin Boards are found at different places at the monastery. They will inform the player about ongoing events or about new monastery features such as whether the Western and Eastern Merchants are unlocked. They also inform the player about available quests at the monastery.

If the player explores the monastery, they can find other units at the monastery. In addition to generic characters, in Part I, they will be able to talk to the students from all houses and to most of the Knights of Seiros, depending on chapter. During Part II, they will be limited to units from their own house as well as [[Anna/Three Houses|Anna]]. When interacting with characters, their dialogue will change between chapters, but not based on individual week days (with some exceptions such as the [[White Heron Cup]]. After this, they will be presented the following options (note that depending on the character, their recruitment status, and the player's game progress, not all options will be displayed at all times):

The player can give certain [[item]]s to other characters to increase [[support]] between that unit and Byleth. Each unit likes and dislikes specific gifts. If a unit especially likes a specific type of gift, the gained support points are doubled, while disliked gifts do not grant any support points. Gifts can be obtained from the [[#Travelling Merchants and Anna's Shop|travelling Merchants]], from the [[#Greenhouse|Greenhouse]], from certain quests, or from blue spots at the monastery. Notably, the [[Owl Feather]] is liked by every character in the game. The player cannot make gifts to units who are not recruitable into their army (e.g. they cannot make gifts to Edelgard unless they chose the Black Eagle House). However, although Rhea is not recruitable during any part of the game, the player can make gifts to her during Part I of any route.

=====Lost items=====

{{main|Lost items}}

Lost items are unlocked by completing the [[Lost? Found!]] quest. Starting from Chapter 3, each month, certain items will appear at certain spots at the monastery. The player can return them to their owner to increase the owner's support with Byleth as well as to raise their motivation if they are in Byleth's class. The player can offer any Lost item to any unit, and presenting a Lost item to the wrong character does not remove the item from the storehouse or reduce support with that character.

 

 

When the game initially released, lost items stopped spawning at the start of Part II, though all of Jeritza's lost items as well as a lost item belonging to Anna that appear during Part II were later added through updates.

 

Sometimes, NPCs at the monastery will make specific requests. Usually, quests include obtaining an item and giving it to a certain unit. Depending on the quest, the player will be rewarded with items, [[gold]], or [[renown]]. The completion of certain quests is also required to unlock some monastery facilities.

While exploring the monastery, it is possible to recruit characters from other houses as well as faculty members into Byleth's class. Not every character can be recruited at all times, as certain characters are restricted by route or only become available after a certain chapter. To recruit a character, Byleth has to ask them to join their house and fulfill that character's recruitment requirements:

* Anna can be recruited at any point in the game if the player owns the [[Downloadable content in Fire Emblem: Three Houses|expansion pass]].

* The Ashen Wolves can be recruited after the player has completed a certain chapter of the [[Cindered Shadows]] side story.

Note that certain characters are unavailable on some routes (e.g. Edelgard cannot be recruited into the Blue Lion house). Additionally, with the exception of Anna, characters can only be recruited at the monastery during Part I of the game.

 

Professor level is a mechanic at the monastery that determines the amount of gold the player gets at the start of each month, the amount of Activity points they get per free day, how often they can teach their students, and more. Professor experience is gained by using various monastery activities, such as Fishing or the Greenhouse.

Seminars and Faculty Training are unavailable in [[Outset of a Power Struggle|Chapter 12]] if Byleth sided with Edelgard in [[Throne of Knowledge|Chapter 11]].

At the cathedral, the player can choose up to two of their units to participate in choir practice with. Doing so will consume an activity point, but will also increase both Byleth's and the students' [[faith]] level as well as Byleth's authority level. On certain days, such as Saint Cichol Day, the player will also be asked if they want to participate in choir practice. Doing so does not consume any resources, but the player will also be unable to choose which students they will participate in choir practice with.

Byleth can give advice to students that place anonymous notes in the advice box. They will be shown a page displaying a silhouette of the character who asked the question alongside a brief description of their problem. They will then be asked to pick one of three possible answers. After doing so, the character who asked the question will be revealed and, if the player picked the correct option, their support points with that student will increase.

{{Main|Saint Statues}}

 

Upon completing the ''Tending to the Saints'' quest from [[Tower of Black Winds|Chapter&nbsp;5]] onwards, the player is granted the ability to spend their renown in exchange for specific rewards at the Saint Statues. To do so, they will need to speak to the Saint Statue artisan who is found next to the statues. Each statue has its own set of rewards, though the player needs to buy cheaper rewards to be allowed to purchase more expensive ones. The player can offer up to 10,000 renown to each of the Saint Statues. The rewards carry over through [[New Game&nbsp;+]] and do not need to be repurchased.

| class="roundbr" | 10,000

Byleth can invite two additional characters to have meals together. If possible, this increases the units' support with each other. Additionally, if the units are in the player's army, they will gain some motivation. Each free day, there is one ''daily special'' that can be used once. Unlike other meals, it does not consume ingredients from the player's inventory. However, when this is used, the support gain is halved. Either way, '''Share A Meal''' consumes an activity point.

| class="roundbl" | Bitter Eats

If a unit likes a meal, the support point gain is increased. Additionally, the student will gain more motivation. The following table shows how much motivation a student gains for liked, neutral, and disliked meals:

'''Cooking Together''' is unlocked after completing the [[Creative Cuisines]] quest, available from Chapter&nbsp;2. It allows the player to choose one other unit to cook a meal together. In Part&nbsp;I, that character does not have to be recruited into the player's army, though they have to be at the monastery at that time (e.g. Catherine will not be available during [[Where the Goddess Dwells|Chapter&nbsp;10]]). In Part&nbsp;II, the character has to be recruited into the player's army. They will then be prompted to choose a dish to cook. Cooking Together consumes one activity point and can only be done once per free day.

Cooking Together will increase Byleth's support points with the other student, and will also provide a small stat boost for the rest of the chapter (including auxiliary battles), with the stat boost being determined by the chosen dish. The stat boosts can stack with each other. The player will also need to provide the ingredients themself. Ingredients can be obtained through monastery quests, auxiliary battles, gardening or fishing.

| class="roundbl" | [[Bernadetta]] • [[Dedue]] • [[Ashe]] • [[Mercedes]] • [[Manuela]] • [[Gilbert]] • [[Yuri]] • [[Anna/Three Houses|Anna]]

The dormitory is devided in two seperate floors. The dormitory does not house any faculty, but will allow the player to visit the individual students' rooms. Notably, [[Bernadetta]]'s room will be locked for most of the game, only being open for specific chapters. Although Seteth claims that the second floor is reserved for the nobles, some nobles—such as Bernadetta or [[Lysithea]] have their room in the first floor. The northernmost room of the first floor is Byleth's room.

Byleth's journal is available at their room. It grants the player access to a variety of features, though most of them are only available through New Game&nbsp;+.

The '''Unit Appearance''' submenu is the only one that is available to the player on a non-New Game&nbsp;+ playthrough. It allows them to change the appearance of their units both at the monastery and on the battlefield. As of version 1.2.0, it can also be accessed by pressing the L button on the activity selection screen.

As part of the Expansion Pass, new costumes were added to the game. However, most of them are only available to Byleth and their students. Flayn and [[Cyril]] are treated as students for the purposes of choosing their outfits.

Through New Game&nbsp;+, the following options become available to the player:

:This option allows the player to instantly raise Byleth's professor level by spending renown. It can be increased up until the highest professor level that was achieved on the same New Game&nbsp;+ file. Each level costs 500&nbsp;renown to obtain, with the total price being determined by the difference between Byleth's current professor level and the level the player is purchasing.

:This option allows to player to instantly increase Byleth's support levels with other units by spending renown. Since recruitment requirements vary based on support level, this allows the player to recruit units from other houses much faster. Each support level costs 400 renown to purchase ("+" supports do not cost extra). Support ranks can only be increased up until the highest rank that was achieved on the same New Game&nbsp;+ file, though it is possible to obtain S supports that haven't been unlocked yet [[Glitch#Unlocking S supports in New Game + that have not been unlocked|due to an oversight]].

:Notably, this is the only way to obtain multiple S support levels on one playthrough, and also the only way to make use of the benefits of an S support in battle as otherwise, S supports are only obtained after the final battle. However, it is only possible to buy S support levels with characters that can S support the current version of Byleth (e.g. male Byleth cannot buy an S support with Dimitri).

:This option allows the player to purchase class abilities that were unlocked on a previous playthrough using the same New Game&nbsp;+ file. The player can buy these abilities regardless of whether they would be able to certify for the corresponding class, so even if a unit's level or skill level is not sufficient, this option can grant them those classes' mastery abilities. The corresponding class will be marked as mastered.

:Notably, this allows the player to transfer gender-exclusive skills such as [[Quick Riposte]] to a Byleth whose gender would otherwise prohibit them from obtaining those skills.

:This option allows the player to purchase [[crest item]]s that allow them to use crest abilities a unit would not be able to use otherwise. However, the crest abilities are weaker than even a minor crest, with the exclusive [[combat art]]s from [[Heroes' Relics]] now costing 5&nbsp;durability instead of 4 for a minor crest or 3 for a major one. Additionally, the crest's trigger rate is reduced, with the amount being dependent on the specific crest. A unit who bears the corresponding crest can also use the crest items to increase the odds of their crests activating during combat.

:If the player has purchased the Season Pass, they will have access to the following items. They can be picked up at any time, though they can only be picked up once per playthrough (New Game&nbsp;+ counts as a new playthrough) and only as a set.

:Additionally, the Cindered Shadows Reward can be obtained by completing [[Wolf Pack|Chapter&nbsp;7]] of the Cindered Shadows side story. Like the Sacred Items set, it can only be obtained only once, at any point in a playthrough. It can be collected separately from the Sacred Items Set, though like the Sacred Items Set, the contents are not obtainable separately.

With each button press, both Byleth's and the fish's stamina – which is displayed at the bottom of the screen – will decrease. An Excellent rating will both decrease the stamina cost for Byleth and increase the stamina cost for the fish. If the fish's stamina runs out before Byleth's, the minigame is won and the fish will be caught, rewarding the player with a fish and some professor experience. If Byleth's stamina runs out before the fish's, the bait will be lost and Byleth will be rewarded a smaller amount of professor experience. Byleth's stamina increases with their professor level.

The rewards the player obtains are based on both the fish silhouette they caught and the bait they used. Each bait and silhouette combination has its own set of three possible rewards, with the reward the player obtains being determined randomly. Better rewards can be obtained by using bait of higher quality and by obtaining a '''Perfect''' rating.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://serenesforest.net/three-houses/monastery/fishing/|title=Fishing|site=Serenes Forest|retrieved=May 9, 2024}}</ref>

The greenhouse allows the player to plant their seed-type items in one exploration session and then obtain new items the next time they explore the monastery. This can include [[stat booster]]s, [[gift]]s, and new seeds. Using the greenhouse does not consume activity points, but the greenhouse can only be used once per free day.

The player can only plant a limited amount of seeds per free day, with the specific amount being determined by their professor level:

They may also choose to cultivate their seeds by spending some gold in exchange for better rewards. The available cultivation methods increase based on Byleth's professor level. More expensive cultivation methods may yield better rewards.

Additionally, certain seeds have a chance of yielding a stat booster. Unlike regular yields which are determined when the player harvests their seeds, wether the player obtains a stat booster is determined upon planting the seeds and will not change if the player starts the harvesting day again.

The items the player receives from gardening are determined as follows:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://serenesforest.net/three-houses/monastery/greenhouse/|title=Greenhouse|site=Serenes Forest|retrieved=May 1, 2024}}</ref>

| class="roundbl" | [[Pale-Blue Flower Seeds]]

Additionally, as mentioned before, each yield has a chance to be a "good" or a "bad" yield. The odds of getting a good or bad yield are based on the displayed Yield Level. The odds of receiving a higher quality yield are determined by a hidden score value that is calculated as follows:

:A = (12 − [combined Rank of all seeds % 12]) × 5<br>

:B = (Combined Grade of all seeds / 5) × 4 <small>(rounded down)</small>

:C = (Cultivation Tier + 4 ) × 2

::The cultivation tier increases by 1 per price tier, with "Infuse with magic" having a value of 1.

| 0–20

| 21–40

| 41–60

| 61–80

| 81–90

| class="roundbl" | 91–100

:"Quality Ratio" refers to the ratio of lower-quality items to higher-quality ones.

The odds of obtaining a stat booster are calculated as follows:<br>

Chance = Stat-booster co-efficient + ([Grade − 1 ] of specific seed × 5) + (number of all seeds × 6) + (cultivation Tier × 5)

From Chapter&nbsp;4 onwards, the player can participate in monthly tournaments at the monastery. There, they can choose any unit from their current roster—with the exception of Byleth—to participate in a tournament in exchange for one activity point. They will be put up against a series of five opponents whose level and fighting prowess increase with each level. The enemies the player encounters mostly consist of generic units, but during Part I, they can also include unrecruited units from other houses.

After each round, the player is given the opportunity to quit or to heal their unit for 30&nbsp;[[HP]]. However, they can only heal their unit up to two times per attempt. During combat, units will use their normal combat stats and current equipment, and can miss or land [[critical hit]]s like in normal battles. Additionally, battles at the Training Grounds are always treated as though the player had initiated the combat, and therefore skills like [[Darting Blow]] or [[Duelist's Blow]] are active. Units will not have any [[battalion]]s equipped at the Training Grounds, removing any potential stat gains from battalions and activating skills such as [[Felix]]'s [[Lone Wolf]].

Each month, a different tournament will be held at the monastery. Each tournament focuses on a different weapon type, and only that weapon type can be used at the training grounds. Playable units will always use the most basic weapons of that weapon type. For most weapons, this means they will use the training weapon associated with that weapon type (e.g. a [[Training Sword]] or a [[Training Axe]]), while for magic, it means a unit will use their lowest-ranked spell (e.g. [[Constance]] will use [[Fire]] while [[Annette]] will use [[Wind]]). As spells need to be learned by raising a unit's skill levels, units who have not yet learned any spells yet cannot participate. Similarly, units need to be in a class that can use magic to participate in magic tournaments. Likewise, units in classes that cannot use [[gauntlet]]s cannot participate in Brawling tournaments. Classes that can only use Gauntlets while dismounted—such as [[Paladin]]—cannot be used, as mounted units cannot dismount at the Training Grounds. As they do not learn any Black Magic spells, Lysithea, Hubert, and [[Hapi]] cannot participate in the Black Magic tournaments, however, as the [[Mage]] class grants the [[Fire (ability)|Fire]] ability, changing into it will allow them to partake.

The player will earn more gold the further their unit has made it. Additionally, winning a tournament for the first time (if multiple months have the same tournament, each month counts as a separate tournament) will grant the player a special reward – usually a promotion item or a forged weapon of the type that was used during the tournament. They can repeat tournaments as long as their Activity points allow for it, but the reward can only be obtained once. Repeated tournaments will simply reward the player with additional gold.
