“	Hehehe... Look into the orb. It looks like prey has wandered into our forest.	”	— Linecock

The Dark Forest (Japanese: 暗黒の森 Dark Forest) is the sixteenth chapter of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. This is the first of two chapters on the "B" route; in order to play this chapter, Leif must have headed headed south towards Melfiye Forest in the previous chapter.

Plot

Main article: The Dark Forest/Script

As Leif's forces enter Melfiye Forest, the Loptian Bishop Linecock prepares to fight them with his Berserk staff. Sara appears to talk to him, but he orders her to go back to her chambers and tells her that her grandfather Manfroy will return from Conote soon.

Once the battle begins, Sara starts wandering around the forest. If Leif talks to her, she decides to join him for reasons Leif does not understand. Salem can talk to Sara after she has been recruited, and if he does, he realizes that Sara can use the Kia staff.

During the battle, Homer can also talk to Shannam. He berates Shannam for working for the Loptian Order and wants to abandon him, but Shannam decides to tag along with Leif's army instead and joins it.

When Leif reaches the Loptian monastery in the center of the forest and defeats Linecock, Leif's advisors find Miranda inside and bring her to him. She blames Leif for her imprisonment, as she has been a hostage due to her father helping to shelter Leif from the Empire. Dryas instead blames Miranda's father, because he did not help fight the Thracians when Leonster was attacked and therefore "reaped what he sowed." Leif breaks the argument and apologizes for Miranda's situation, explaining that he did not know she was a hostage. She in turn explains that she has only been in this monastery for one year - before then, she had been in Ulster under the watch of Count Conomor, but the insurrections in Tahra and Leonster prompted the Empire to relocate her. She then says she wants to reclaim Ulster and asks Leif to help her before joining his army.

Beginning log

Following August's advice, Leif led his troops south of the main road. However, to get to Leonster through this route, the Liberation Army would have to make its way through the thick forests of Melfiye. Why this was called the "Dark Forest"... Why travelers avoided this region... Leif was about to find out soon enough...

Locations and destinations of warp tiles.

This map features warp tiles. When a unit waits on a warp tile, they are teleported to a different tile. If the unit uses an action other than wait that ends their turn—such as attacking or using an item—on the warp tile or another unit is present on the destination tile, that unit is not teleported.

The locations and destinations of warp tiles in this map are:

• column 12, row 6 → column 9, row 13 (point 1 → point A)
• column 8, row 8 → column 1, row 12 (point 2 → point B)
• column 11, row 3 → column 2, row 18 (point 3 → point C)
• column 15, row 10 → column 11, row 15 (point 4 → point D)
• column 18, row 12 → column 10, row 13 (point 5 → point E)
• column 13, row 18 → column 2, row 8 (point 6 → point F)
