The only loot is the Thunderbrand, dropped by Catherine upon defeat.

Location Loot Dropped
1 Thunderbrand

Thunderbrand

This Sword is a Hero's Relic. Well worth it, and required drop anyway. Consider giving it to Jeritza or any sword user with a Crest, as the damage it will do to the Immaculate One will greatly help.

Chapter 18 (Black Eagles) - Tips and Tricks

Defeat the Golems as Soon as Possible

The more the Immaculate One roars, the stronger the Golems get. Do not allow them to get stronger and destroy your units by defeating them before the Immaculate One roars.

Use the Heal Tiles

This is a rough, long, and slow battle, so make sure to heal up at any chance. There are a multitude of heal tiles you can stay on to keep the fight going for your units!

Avoid the Fiery Floors

The damage may not be a lot, but it stacks up quicker than you realize and that little bit of health you lose could help you survive a near-fatal attack by the strong units here.

Use Fliers

Fliers are unaffected by the fiery floors, and thus ideal in this level.

Use Stride to Cross Them

To ensure that you don't stay in the fiery floors, use the Stride gambit to increase movement range so that you can cross them in a single turn.

Split Your Healers and Stock Up on Elixirs

Both your main force are side force will be under heavy fire, so it's good to have a healer per side and Concoctions for those who can't be healed.

Do Not Engage Catherine With Melee

Catherine wielding the Thunderbrand is legendary for a reason, and she can destroy anything less than your tankiest units. Make sure to engage her with magic and bows before trying to melee attack her, and even attacking to finish her off in melee is dangerous because she has high avoidance.

Lure Her Away From Her Heal Tile+

Even without the Heal Tile, Catherine is a strong foe. Lure her away by putting your units right outside her attack range. You can determine this by putting your cursor over her and pressing A to keep the range highlighted.

Conserve Battalions

Conserve battalions
The Immaculate One has armor tiles like regular demon beasts. Use Battalions to destroy The Immaculate One's armor to beat her.

Do Not Rush the Battle

Fire Emblem Final Battle
There is no limit to the number of turns you have in this fight. Take it slowly to ensure that you can still have enough power to battle The Immaculate One after dispatching all the other enemies.
