Previous chapter(s)

A Path Forward is the final chapter of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes on the Scarlet Blaze route. It consists of one battle: The Defense of Garreg Mach.

Plot

Main article: A Path Forward/Script

As Adrestian forces approach the besieged Garreg Mach Monastery, Count Varley and Rhea's respective subordinates inform them that those who slither in the dark have joined the battle and begun attacking both sides indiscriminately. Thales and Myson plot to break into the Holy Tomb to steal its Crest Stones. Edelgard and her companions arrive just in time to reinforce Count Varley. The Empire faces down the Church of Seiros and those who slither in the dark in a harrowing final battle, and ultimately overpower both Rhea and Thales. Thales and Rhea launch one final attack at each other, triggering an explosion that destroys the bridge leading to the Garreg Mach cathedral and causing Edelgard to presume them both dead. With both the Church and those who slither in the dark's leadership out of the picture, both factions crumble. If Byleth and Jeralt were previously killed, the Empire and Alliance return to war with each other and the Kingdom with no end in sight. If Byleth and Jeralt were previously recruited, the Empire and Alliance reaffirm their peace treaty and prepare for the final battle against the Kingdom.
