Just a moment, my lord. It's dangerous to trust mysterious strangers outright... If we are to join them, please allow me to provide a test first.

Woodlands Encounter (Japanese: 出会い Encounter) is the second chapter of Fire Emblem Warriors. During this chapter, Rowan and Lianna are making their way to the temple when they encounter strangers from another world: the Shepherds of Ylisse. More advanced features like the weapon triangle and Pair Up are also introduced.
Plot
- Main article: Woodlands Encounter/Script
Rowan and Lianna, still mourning the sudden loss of their mother, are steadily making their way to the temple. As Darios offers words of encouragement, something catches Rowan's attention, causing him to slip down the hill in an attempt to examine it. Coming to, Rowan wakes to see himself at the feet of two strangers, Chrom and Lissa, who introduce themselves as the Shepherds from the Halidom of Ylisse. Lianna hastily comes to Rowan side and scolds him for running off, before noticing the Shepherds and introducing her and her brother as the princess and prince of Aytolis. After explaining their situation to the Shepherds, Chrom agrees to help them. However Frederick is wary of helping strangers outright, and purposes a test for them to prove their words. Every agrees to the mock battle, with Chrom and Lissa siding themselves with the Aytolisians.
During the battle, Lissa finds herself surrounded by swordsmen. Suddenly a young man shows up on the cliff overhead, shouting in an over dramatic fashion. He introduces himself as Owain Dark, and claims he wishes to protect Lissa for reasons he will not disclose. He then jumps to attack the swordsmen, only to miss spectacularly.
After the battle, Frederick admits he still holds doubts against the Aytolisians, but is willing to put them aside to help them. Chrom suggests they make camp for the night, with Frederick offering the bear he killed as supper. Lianna is shocked to learn that most of her new companions have actually eaten bear before.
Summary
Heeding their mother's last words, the twins head for the temple. But a chance encounter and a trial await them in the forest.

Strategy
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.
|
You first order of business is to take out the three Myrmidons nearby. After they go down, the gate forward unlocks, you are accosted by four Soldiers, and Lissa becomes playable. Lissa is both your first axe-wielder and your first medic. She really wants a weapon with Topsy-Turvy and her personal weapon is DLC, but she'll do for now. Her axe holds weapon triangle advantage over the enemies' lances, so use her to wipe out the Soldiers. Once they go down, you can press forward. You are next attacked by two Soldiers and two Fighters. Pause the game and use the map to order whoever you aren't controlling to deal with the enemies they have advantage over. In addition, Owain will take the field on your side. At this point, you get a Sub Mission to take out three Myrmidons - deal with this as Rowan/Lianna to gain support points with Lissa. Once these are taken care of, the path to Frederick opens and Chrom joins you. He's another swordsman like Rowan/Lianna. His Falchion does effective damage against dragons and his unlockable skill Luna is one of the strongest in the game, so he's definitely worth training up. Anna will also likely spawn right about now, so make sure to pick up the first Anna's Memento. Have Lissa crush the final soldiers and Chrom take out the last Fighters and Frederick to claim victory.
