Whereabouts Unknown (Japanese: 謎の行方 Mysterious Whereabouts) is the sixteenth chapter of Eliwood's Tale and the seventeenth chapter of Hector's Tale in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. To play the sidequest afterwards, you must have at least one NPC soldier survive this chapter.
Plot
- Main article: Whereabouts Unknown/Script
Hector, Eliwood, and Lyn have fought their way through Bauker’s forces and are finally able to enter Castle Caelin. Eliwood notes that the castle’s guard is strangely absent. Lyn informs the group that about half were killed in the surprise attack and the rest were likely kept as prisoners. The trio then commences the battle with the hope of also saving the imprisoned soldiers. If Chapter 13x was not played, Merlinus will introduce himself to the group now. After hearing Merlinus’s heartfelt desire to work for a noble house, Hector hires him. Once the battle starts, Raven, imprisoned along with Caelin’s castle guard, demands that the guard allow him to fight on Laus’s side. The guard eventually caves to Raven’s persistence but promises that if he betrays Laus, he will kill his companion, Lucius.
As the battle draws closer to the prison cell, the imprisoned soldiers reveal they hid keys and weapons in the cell before they were thrown in. Lucius declines the chance to fight alongside the soldiers as he wants to wait for Raven to retrieve him. As Hector and Eliwood’s company passes by, Priscilla recognizes Raven as her long-lost brother, Raymond, and manages to convince him, and by extension Lucius, to fight for Caelin.
Immediately after seizing the castle back from Laus, the three lords begin to search for Marquess Caelin. Just when they fear he may have already died, Leila approaches the group and reveals that she has been treating the marquess’s wounds in a secluded room. Leila is an Ostian spy who has been investigating Elbert’s disappearance by working undercover in the Black Fang. Leila explains the Black Fang’s origins, how they originally targeted nobles of Bern who abused their power, but in the past year, their leader, Brendan Reed, remarried and ever since, the Black Fang has started to target anyone they are paid to kill. Leila also informs the group that Elbert is indeed alive and is currently on Valor, aka Dread Isle, at the Dragon’s Gate. After Leila finishes her report, she sets off to regroup with the Black Fang and complete her mission. Eliwood, now with the knowledge of his father’s whereabouts, sets out for Valor accompanied by Lyn and Hector.

Right from the get-go, you'll need to move your units up with a sense of urgency. On turn 9, the soldiers of Caelin will begin moving out and risk getting killed by Raven (or possibly killing him on lower difficulties). If all of them get killed, you cannot access the sidequest chapter, and thus cannot recruit Canas. If you wish to recruit Raven with Priscilla, be sure you have units that can both move far and keep her safe, as well as some healing in case she takes a ranged attack. Raven will attack and kill Priscilla if she is within range.
One may consider allowing only one green unit to survive to get a free mine and perform the special mine control glitch later.
Trivia
- Lyn, Sain, Wil, Florina, and Kent can have conversations with the soldiers once they are rescued.
