Dark Map Features

Hidden Enemies and Surroundings

FE Engage Dark Map
Dark maps only allow you to see a few spaces around your allies and the light of torches and bonfires. This darkness even clouds the minimap on the bottom right of the screen.

Enemies lurk within the darkness and will only become visible in the light, so you need to proceed with caution.

Bonfire Light Reveals Surroundings

Fire Emblem Engage Bonfires

You can illuminate more parts of the map by lighting a bonfire using a torch. The bonfire lights up more spaces surrounding it, extending your vision of the battlefield.

Bonfires and Torches

Fire Emblem Engage Light Dark Map

It's best to light up the dark map first so the enemies will be brought into sight. Once the enemies are visible, launch an attack at them to start off with an advantage.

Micaiah's Engage Weapon Shine

Fire Emblem Engage Micaiah Dark Map

The Emblem Micaiah's Engage Weapon Shine is a Light Tome that illuminates a 5-space radius. You can use this to light up dark maps. However, the radius shrinks by 1 space after every usage.
