Loot

The most important dropped items are the door keys, which you will need in order to access Edelgard's throne room. These are dropped by Dorothea, Petra, and the Grappler in the garden. Additionally, there is one Talisman lootable from the Gremory in the garden.

Pos Loot Dropped
1 Door Key
2 Door Key
3 Door Key
4 Talisman

Door Key

Essential for the map, as this is the only way to access Edelgard's throne room. There is no reason to not go for the one Petra holds, as she is closest, aside from the fact that she's difficult to face.

Talisman

It increases Resistance by 2. While useful especially because the Throne Room is filled with magic users, it might be a bit too out of the way to be worth it.

Chapter 20 (Golden Deer) - Chests

There are three chests, in the treasure room southwest of your starting position. There are no chest keys dropped in this map, so you either need to bring your own or have a thief with you.

Pos Chest Contents
1 Silver Gauntlets
2 Kadmos Shield
3 Giant Shell

Silver Gauntlets

Silver-grade hand-to-hand weapon. Do not bother unless you have a brawler/grappler/war master in your army. Even if you do have one, you can easily buy Silver Gauntlets so it may not be worth going all this way to get it.

Kadmos Shield

A shield that negates any anti-armor damage. Must have if you field a Armored Knight or a Fortress Knight, but not really worth it otherwise.

Giant Shell

Increases Defense by 2 points. Good if you want to make your magic users less squishy, or if you have an unarmed class or armored class, buff them up to be even more tanky.

Chapter 20 (Golden Deer) - Map Features

The player army starts at the central grand hall.

North of the grand hall is a singular staircase that leads into the throne room. To the west and east of the grand hall there are corridors.

South of the western corridor is the treasure room, while south of the easter corridor is a garden. The north of either corridor leads to a locked door protecting a small room where reinforcements pour out from, and these rooms lead into the throne room.

Likewise, the throne room, north of the grand hall, is locked behind a closed door as well.

Tiles Description
Thicket 20% Avo, 1 Prt to all non-fliers
Wall Cannot be crossed
Pillar Cannot be crossed
Stairs Difficult for cavalry to traverse
Channel Difficult for cavalry to traverse
Throne 40% Avo, 5 Def and Res, and recovers 30% HP per turn.

Chapter 20 (Golden Deer) - Tips and Tricks

Engage Edelgard All At Once

FE3H Edelgard on the Throne.jpg
Edelgard is seated in her throne, which buffs her greatly and heals her a lot. Do not engage her one by one, as she can just heal from it the next turn. Finish her in one or two turns by doing all out attacks.

Engage Petra with Ranged Units

Petra is an assassin, which means she's both hard to hit and has a good chance of landing critical hits. If she hits even your strongest melee units, there's a chance that she kills them instantly. Engage her with ranged and be wary of dealing with her, even if the predicted attack should kill her.

Enemy Reinforcements

Once you open the door to the Throne Room, Edelgard will commend you for getting this far, but then order her units to defeat you. From here on out, there will be enemy reinforcements coming from the northeastern room in the form of Imperial Soldiers (Warriors) and the northwestern room in the form of Agarthan Soldiers (Warlocks).

Dedue Holds the Line

In turn 3, Dedue will arrive from the northeastern room as a Fortress Knight. Soldiers who attack him will more often than not deal no damage, so just ensure none of the Mortal Savants or Gremories attack him. He'll do a good job holding off reinforcements from that side.
