How to Recruit Lindon

Chapter 18: After You Speak to Him During Battle

Lindon can be recruited by speaking to him during the Chapter 18: The Cold Voyage battle. Lindon will be hostile and can be killed during the battle.

If you keep Lindon alive until the end of the battle without talking to him, he will still not join your party. You must have Alear, Ivy, or Hortensia speak to Lindon in order to recruit him.

It is easy to miss the chance to recruit Lindon, so make sure to speak to him if you want him to join your party!

Recommended Skills

	Perceptive+ If the unit initiates combat, grants Avo+30 during combat. Avo increases with high Spd. Marth Bond Level 16
	Axe Power 5 Grants Atk+10 at a cost of Avo-10 when using an axe. Ike Bond Level 17
	Magic +5 Grants Mag+5. Celica Bond Level 19
	Resonance+ When equipped with a tome, if unit's HP is 2 or more, unit loses 1 HP at start of combat and deals +3 damage during combat. Celica Bond Level 16

Lindon has good growths in Spd and Res, but has equally mediocre growths in both Str and Mag. This potentially makes Lindon a viable answer against other spellcasters since they generally have low Hit and low Spd.

Resonance + and Magic +5 make up for Lindon's average Mag stat, allowing him to deal respectable amounts of magic damage.

Axe Power 5 combined with Perceptive+ allow Lindon to class into an effective Mage Knight with significant evasion. Consider using Axes with low proficienies, such as the Hand Axe, to trigger the Crit bonus from his personal skill Weapon Insight.

Lindon Paired Ending and Romance

Pact Ring with Lindon

After clearing Chapter 22, players unlock The Connector Paralogue and can subsequently unlock the Pact Ring. This essentially acts as Fire Emblem Engage's S-Rank Support and romance route.

Alear can then give the ring to Lindon once they have attained an A-Rank in support to view a special cutscene, and unlock a page in the reference about the life they lived together.

Lindon's Memento

Lindon's antique silver locket. He presented it to me along with a basket of fresh-baked cookies to cement our partnership.

Apart from obtaining an exclusive ending with Lindon after giving the Pact Ring, players can also head to Alear's room and check the small table next to their bed to find a memento from him.

While the memento serves no purpose in combat whatsoever unlike the Merc Whistle in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, it further contextualizes the paired ending selected by the player.
