Legend of the Lake

Legend of the Lake (Japanese: 湖水の伝説 Legend of the Lake) is a paralogue chapter in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It is available from Chapter 15 to Chapter 21 /21 /22 /17. In order to attempt this paralogue, the player must have recruited both Linhardt and Leonie, and both must not have fallen in battle previously; additionally, in the Crimson Flower route, Seteth and Flayn must not have been killed in the Chapter 15 mission. In this chapter, Linhardt and Leonie seek out a sacred weapon hidden in Lake Teutates.

Plot

Main article: Legend of the Lake/Script

Byleth and Linhardt find Leonie repairing a damaged bag of hers, and she explains that she was forced to borrow a significant amount of money from her home village of Sauin in order to afford tuition at the Officers Academy and is currently deep in debt. Linhardt recounts a legend that states that a holy weapon that does not require a Crest to wield is hidden at Lake Teutates. Leonie, intrigued, browbeats Byleth and Linhardt into accompanying her on an expedition to Lake Teutates. Once they arrive at the lake, the group is confronted by a gargantuan turtle creature called The Immovable, who challenges them to overcome its trial in order to earn the holy weapon. Byleth and their companions battle their way through a platoon of illusionary soldiers and defeat The Immovable, who grants them the sacred bow The Inexhaustible as a reward. Afterwards, Leonie decides she is not yet worthy of the bow and gives it to Byleth for safekeeping. Linhardt suspects that The Immovable may actually be Saint Indech.

Without a Crest or a family treasure, Leonie has a difficult time getting her hands on quality gear. Linhardt offers her a hint about a sacred weapon anyone can wield.

Strategy

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

This paralogue features fog of war, so a unit must find an enemy before another can attack it; torches are the only means of improving visibility. Wyvern Riders are north of the starting location, with gauntlet-wielders to the west and sword-wielders east; the promoted enemies are particularly strong on higher difficulties, and keeping all units to one path will make fighting them more manageable than attempting to split a force three ways. The chests contain fairly uncommon items, but nothing especially powerful or useful, and nothing that cannot be gained easier elsewhere. The reinforcements that appear every turn are significantly weaker than the other enemies; they arrive in a simple pattern and start relatively far from the start or encumbered by woods, so they are not much of a threat initially and can be easily planned around.

The Immovable is a monster with three additional health bars that each have a large amount of HP. In addition, the Immovable has barriers in a three-by-three square, making it more difficult to inflict armor break than it is against most monsters. Gambits that strike all tiles in a two-tile radius from the target and have a range greater than 1—gambits such as Resonant Ice or Ashes and Dust—are capable of damaging all of the Immovable's barriers at once. Ashes and Dust is particularly useful as it can be used twice per map, allowing a unit to inflict armor break in one turn with the aid of a Dancer; Ashes and Dust is only available on the Immortal Corps, the battalion equipped to Claude at the start of Chapter 13, only available on the Verdant Wind route or a New Game + file with Verdant Wind clear data.

The Immovable deals magic damage, has an incredible amount of health, and has the ability Quick Riposte as a latent ability; it may be beneficial to inflict armor break after exhausting his first few health bars to avoid having to engage him while Quick Riposte is active. Gambits additionally do not suffer counter attacks, as does the Windsweep combat art—learned by Yuri at C+ swords and Byleth at A. The Immovable's resistance is significantly lower than his defense, so it may be useful to use weapons and gambits that deal magic damage, even on units with relatively low magic.
