Right. Time to change strategy. Thank you, Chrom. You've given me just the opening I need. Take heart! We're not alone! Chrom awaits us beyond these men! Now clear a path!
— Robin

Dragon Valley Temple (Japanese: 幽谷の寺院 Dark Valley Temple) is the third chapter of Fire Emblem Warriors. During this chapter, Rowan and Lianna with their new allies make their way to the temple, only to find it beset by Gristonne forces.

Plot

Main article: Dragon Valley Temple/Script

Cordelia returns to deliver her report to Chrom and Frederick, stating that there was no recognizable landmark and that the land was crawling with monsters. Rowan tells Cordelia how cool he thinks she is just for being a Pegasus Knight, much to the embarrassment of Lianna and Darios. The group then agrees to head for the temple, with Cordelia taking the lead. At the temple, Robin and his forces are cornered trying to repel the Gristonne troops. Cordelia flies in and tells Robin that Chrom and the rest are on their way, giving Robin the opening he needs and rallies his troops to clear a path. Outside the temple, the rest of the Aytolisian army arrives, with Darios wondering why Gristonne is attacking the temple. Chrom sees Robin within the temple and leads the charge to help him.

During the battle, the leader of the Gristonne forces is revealed to be Validar, a sorcerer from the same world as the Shepherds. He is defeated, but retreats before the party can learn why he is working with Gristonne.

Afterwards, Rowan explains to the Bishop of the temple what happened back at the castle and asks for his help. The Bishop then tells the story of Velezark: the Chaos Dragon who has the ability to open portals to other worlds, bring forth both Outrealm Fiends and people from the connected worlds. The last time Velezark attacked Aytolis, he was sealed away using the Shield of Flames. With the portals appearing, the Bishop continues, Velezark may be free again, and in order to defeat him the twins must collect the Gleamstones from the heroes from the other worlds. Lissa states that she doesn't think any of them qualify as heroes, with Chrom agreeing with her. Owain, however, interjects that he might be the hero needed. Just then Chrom starts glowing in a blue light, and from this light forms a blue sphere: the first Gleamstone, which magically places itself within the Shield of Flames. Darios declares that they should find the rest of the Gleamstones, to which everyone agrees.

Summary

With Chrom and his Shepherds joining their ranks, the party makes haste for the temple. However, upon arrival they discover it's as mired in chaos as everything else.

Strategy

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

This is the first chapter with preparations at the start. If there are any downloadable content characters that you wish to use, now will be the first opportunity to do so. The game guides you to replace your lord's Bronze Sword with the Armorslayer that Frederick dropped, which is a good idea since it's a total upgrade. Speaking of Frederick, this is your first opportunity to control him. He's got more mobility and better combat stats than Lissa. He's not quite as good as Camilla will be when she joins, but on the upside he doesn't fear bows or Dracoslayer equipment like she does. Finally, make sure to upgrade your units' Crests in the Camp.

On to the actual battle. Chrom is required for this map, which is meaningless since you are able to field all of your characters. Send Lissa to take out the Soldiers to the southeast, and have Chrom and Frederick start making their way through the temple. There's also a Knight to the southeast and two more in the temple for Rowan/Lianna to test their new Armorslayer on. During the fighting, a Sub Mission to stop a Soldier from killing a Curate will pop up - have Frederick take care of it for a full Warrior Tonic and support points with him. After that's done, take over the forts to proceed.

Validar and his cronies spawn. Have Frederick and Lissa deal with the Soldiers in the north while Chrom goes after the southwest Fighters and Rowan/Lianna assassinates the Knight and then joins Chrom. You get two more Sub Missions to wipe out the enemy reinforcements and seize the forts. Do so. If you don't have the requisite 1,000 kills to get Anna's Memento, do so now, and then have Lissa take out Validar. Her good Resistance and decent Strength makes her the best mage-killer you have right now.
