#iirc someone said you could just MISS recruiting Byleth too and that’s

[artidoesthings]

Okay, so it starts just before the plot of Houses.

Byleth fails to kill this kid named Shez, right? Well, Shez has an Agarthan in their head like Byleth has Sothis. Shez ends up running into the House Lords before Byleth and Jeralt meet them, and ends up killing Kostas. Shez then gets dragged to Garreg Mach and offered to become a student under the house Jeritza ends up teaching. Your house then goes to take out the remaining bandits from Kostas's gang and you end up rescuing Monica. Something happens regarding each individual lord's homeland, and you end up going to help resolve it. The school ends up shutting down and the students sent him.

This is where the plots diverge. Everything changes depending on who you follow. Claude focuses more on dealing both with Almyra, TWSITD, and the Church. Dimitri deals with corrupt nobles and being attacked on both sides by TWSITD and the Alliance. And Edelgard is waging war on multiple fronts and is left going back and forth on rescue missions in between Ferdibert angst. On both Claude and Edelgard's routes, they team up.

You also are constantly fighting Byleth, and you need to decide to recruit them or not. If you do, you get the good open ending! If you don't, people who usually die in Houses end up dying here and you get the bad open ending!

H.

huh.

alright.
