== | A '''side quest''' (Japanese: {{hl|外伝|gaiden}} ''side-story'') is a type of optional [[chapter]] which debuted in {{FE5}}. Typically, a side quest must be unlocked by completing certain objectives in the preceding chapter, is marginally more difficult than normal chapters from around the same point in the game, contains [[recruitment|recruitable]] playable characters not otherwise available in the game, or expands on the main plot of the game in different areas. | ||

The final side quest provides similar recourse in the event of failing to defeat [[Gharnef]] and obtain the [[Falchion (Archanea)|Falchion]], or in case [[Tiki]] died or was not recruited. | ||

A side quest (Japanese: 外伝 side-story) is a type of optional chapter which debuted in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. Typically, a side quest must be unlocked by completing certain objectives in the preceding chapter, is marginally more difficult than normal chapters from around the same point in the game, contains recruitable playable characters not otherwise available in the game, or expands on the main plot of the game in different areas.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
In The Binding Blade, each side quest rewards one of the legendary weapons of Elibe; the weapon obtained in the Chapter 20x variant the player did not visit is in the inventory of Yoder when he is recruited in Chapter 21. All side quests must be completed as part of the criteria to proceed to Chapter 23 and beyond to achieve the game's true ending; additionally, none of the legendary weapons, including the Binding Blade, may be broken at that point.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
The Blazing Blade is the only game in which, if a side quest is unlocked, the player is given the option as to whether or not to proceed to it; in all other games, once a side quest is unlocked, the player is automatically sent to it.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
The Sacred Stones only feature a single side quest. Unlike the other games, the side quest is mandatory and features a different set of playable characters. In addition, characters will retreat on defeat.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Shadow Dragon's use of side quests is less conventional: here, side quests are accessed by having a low number of units currently in the player's army, and are intended primarily to assist those struggling with the game by providing new playable characters, in the event that the player has already sustained severe casualties or has failed to recruit units. The final side quest provides similar recourse in the event of failing to defeat Gharnef and obtain the Falchion, or in case Tiki died or was not recruited.

Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
In New Mystery of the Emblem, there are two sets of criteria for unlocking side quests: turn number objectives and a set of unrelated alternate criteria. To enter a side quest, at least one of these criteria must be met (for example, to unlock Chapter 6x in Normal Mode, the player must complete Chapter 6 in 24 turns or less or recruit Rickard). It is possible to meet both criteria but it is not necessary; one will suffice to unlock side quests.
