Chapter 5 - After the Battle

All Houses

After completing the mission, you report back to Rhea at Garreg Mach, and she asks you to return the Lance of Ruin. You will have the choice to decline if Sylvain is in your party.

Take note, telling her B) I will not., aside from decreasing her support level, will allow you to keep the Lance of Ruin and give it to Sylvain if he is one of your students. If you did not choose the Blue Lions or recruit Sylvain before this mission, this dialogue will not occur.

There is, however, a paralogue mission for Sylvain later on that gives him the Lance of Ruin upon completion if you chose to return the lance to Rhea.

For a list of all paralogues, see the link below.
