“	Too true! The colder it gets, the closer we are. It won't be long now. My word, isn't this cold air marvelous? It really puts a spring in your step!	”	— Felicia

Cold Reception (Japanese: 氷の村の少女 Girl of the Ice Village) is the eighth chapter of the Conquest campaign in Fire Emblem Fates. In this chapter, Corrin and their army arrive at the Ice Tribe's village, and are forced to fight against the tribalists when Elise gives away the army's position as Nohrians sent by Garon to bring down a rebellion.

Plot

Main article: Cold Reception/Script

Having arrived in Ice Tribe territory, Corrin notes that it's colder in this area than back in the Woods of the Forlorn and that the Ice Tribe lives up to its name; Felicia/Jakob states that it gets colder the closer to the village they get and it won't be long until they're there, then states that the cold air puts a spring into her step. Elise notices Felicia/Jakob's speed and asks them to wait for her; Silas asks Elise to slow down herself, stating that she must not get ahead of the group, after which Corrin notices the others are gone and that things won't end well. After a brief flash of light, the snow starts to fall harder to Corrin's notice; Corrin asks if everyone is OK, to which Silas confirms but also states that they've been separated from the others. Corrin and Silas spend some time trying to search for the direction Felicia/Jakob went, after which Corrin suddenly collapses and has trouble keeping awake before the two are spotted by a mysterious figure who asks the two of them to stop.

Corrin comes to in a bed inside a building being watched over by Silas, to which Corrin asks Silas what happened and where they are; the mysterious figure from earlier, Kilma, tells them that they are safe and in the Ice Tribe's village, then introduces himself. Corrin thanks Kilma for saving their life and begins to introduce themselves before getting stopped by Silas while introducing that they are of Nohr, after which Silas suggests Corrin get more rest before they resume introductions. Once Kilma is out of the room, Silas reminds Corrin that they're in the area to suppress a rebellion and that it's a bad idea for Corrin to introduce themselves as Nohrian royalty; Kilma returns to the area and offers Corrin hot tea, then notices Corrin's Yato and states it to be the reason he helped them. As Kilma states that he's talked about the Ice Tribe's legends long enough, he notices that his daughter has arrived, after which Flora arrives on the scene; as Corrin and Flora have an awkward exchange over why they're both in the area, Elise arrives and states that she was worried ever since she got separated from Corrin. Felicia/Jakob asks Flora why she's in the area, as Flora had previously stated that she was going to hold down the fort in Felicia/Jakob's absence; Flora states that she changed her mind and then asks Felicia/Jakob what they are doing in the area and why the others followed her to the area, to which Felicia/Jakob states that they had no idea Flora was even in the area. Elise states that the group reached the area on their own, then gives away the group's position as Nohrians sent by Garon to stop the rebellion; Kilma deduces that Corrin's army tricked him into helping them so they could infiltrate the village and has Flora sound the alarm to alert the village of an invasion. Felicia/Jakob tries to convince Flora to stand down, only to fall on deaf ears; Silas warns Corrin to be on their guard. Preparations take place at this point.

Once preparations are finished, Kilma states that the time has come for the Ice Tribe to defeat the Nohrian army, and that the villagers should be informed; Silas takes notice of Kilma's intentions, and suggests that ones from Corrin's army should get to the villages first and possibly dissuade the villagers from fighting. The game explains the mechanics of the chapter's villages and that the best reward comes from visiting at least three of them; the battle begins at this point. Should one of the Dragon Veins be triggered, Kilma will chime in about the vein's effects being temporary.

At the end of turn one enemy phase, two mysterious figures appear onto the scene; the first one goes into theatrics, after which the second one tells the first one, revealing his name to be Odin, that he's weird and that he won't let him take all of the glory for himself. Corrin asks just what's going on and who the mysterious figures are, after which Odin theatrically introduces himself and states himself to be Leo's retainer, with the second mysterious figure, whose name is revealed to be Niles, doing likewise. Odin and Niles express their desire to inflict as much pain as possible, to which Corrin states that they wish to settle things with as little bloodshed as possible; Odin and Niles agree to help Corrin despite their intentions, to which Corrin suggests that they finish things quickly. Should Felicia fight Flora, she accuses Flora of fighting without hearing Corrin out, stating that is the betrayal of the Ice Tribe, but Flora suggests that she doesn't understand anything and they may not have become Corrin's retainers of their own free will, but stops herself from outright saying so and there's no point in telling Felicia of this. Should Jakob fight Flora, Flora reveals that she and Felicia were taken as hostages to keep the Ice Tribe from rebelling, implying that she and Felicia did not become Corrin's retainers of their own free will, and that it was due to Jakob that Flora didn't run away a long time prior.

Once the battle ends, Corrin notes that they have achieved a victory without taking any lives, and asks Elise to heal the injured regardless of which side they fought on, to which Elise agrees before she and Felicia/Jakob leave; Kilma and Corrin talk about Corrin's tactics and they desire for peace, after which Silas lets slip Corrin's status as not actually of Nohrian blood to Kilma's and Flora's surprise. Corrin asks Kilma if the Ice Tribe can stop their rebellion on the promise that they will do whatever it takes to restore their autonomy, to which Kilma agrees; as Corrin, Kilma, and Flora talk about restoring their normal relations, Elise and Felicia/Jakob return, after which Silas states that all that's left is for Garon to recognize Corrin's victory. Elise states that she had forgotten that Corrin was supposed to stop the rebellion on theor own yet the others ruined everything, to which Corrin states that they'll think about it on the way back; Kilma attempts to get Corrin to stay a little longer, to which Corrin states that the army has to get going but hopes to return once the world is a better place. Should at least one village have been visited during the course of the chapter, a villager thanks Corrin for stopping futile battle and promises a reward.

Summary

Corrin emerges from the Woods of the Forlorn near the Ice Tribe village. However, the freezing winds complicate matters.

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

This map encourages highly intelligent use of the resources at your disposal to get the maximum reward. If Corrin reclasses to a mounted class, you can Freeze the northern Lancer on turn 1 to prevent him from summoning reinforcements. Pair up Corrin and a staff user to accomplish this. Have the two rush north and immediately use Freeze to neutralize the Lancer, then kill him on turn two. The rest of your army should make a mad rush to the west to knock off the second Lancer and prevent him from taking those villages. Silas, being a mounted Cavalier, has the best chance of reaching the villages in time, so put a Vulnerary in his inventory and hop him up on Tonics if needed. On turn 2, enter Odin and Niles. Odin is a balanced Dark Mage who can take a hit far better than the other Dark Mage, Nyx. Niles is a high-speed, high-resistance Outlaw who kills mages and captures enemies you like. As you make your way west, watch out for Flora and her Freeze staff; it's generally very bad if she hits Silas with it. If you put someone within her dagger range, she'll prioritize her dagger over her staff. Use Dual Strikes to quickly overrun the enemy Dark Mages and Fighters as you approach the west.

Once you pick off the second Lancer, the battle is effectively under your control. Visit all of the remaining villages and waste Flora and Kilma. Watch out for Kilma's Vantage, as it will allow him to skewer one of your units if you are not careful. After the battle, make sure to build a Prison at My Castle since the next chapter has a captureable boss. In addition, you should definitely buy a Nosferatu for Odin, as he makes excellent use of it to become a tank.
