Return to Me.jpg
This is the walkthrough for the 6th chapter of the side story DLC in Fire Emblem: Three Houses (FETH, FE3H). Read on to see what you can do in Abyss, as well as all battle info, map features, enemy data, and a strategy guide for the battle, The Rite of Rising.

Chapter 5: Betrayal Chapter 7: Wolf Pack

Chapter 6 - Return to Me

The chapter starts with a battle, so you may proceed to the next section for battle information.

Chapter 6 Mission: The Rite of Rising

Sitri.jpg
Protect the Ashen Wolves by stopping the ritual, then end the battle by defeating the commander, Aelfric.

Battle Preparations

Stock up on Concoctions

As the Ashen Wolves spawn far from the team, stock them up on concoctions as they will be losing 4 HP each turn until you stop the ritual. This is a heavy disadvantage especially for Constance who has low HP.

Map and Overview

Victory Conditions
Defeat the enemy commander.
Defeat Conditions
One of the Ashen Wolves falls in battle, or 20 turns pass.

Step on the vortices

The Rite of Rising will finish within 20 turns, so place your units, other than the Ashen Wolves, on the vortices to stop the ritual. The Ashen Wolves will lose 4 HP each turn, so prioritize that first.

Tips and Tricks

Have the Ashen Wolves decrease enemy count

While the Ashen Wolves are far off the map, you can use them to still attack and pick on enemies one by one to lighten the load for your other units. Be wary of your HP, however, because if one of them dies, the battle ends.

Step on the vortices at the same time

Do not waste turns having a unit step on a vortex doing nothing. Plan your positions as you attack so when the coast is clear, the assigned units can step on the vortices together.

Concentrate on attacking Aelfric with the least turns

The Pray Stone will render your attacks useless if you attack one or two times every turn. Make sure you ready your units and unleash hell on Aelfric with continuous attacks so he cannot heal before then.

Chapter 6 - After the Battle

After the battle, you will not be able to explore Abyss anymore. The chapter ends here, and you can proceed to the next one.

Yuri Now Recruitable

After this chapter, you can now recruit Yuri in Part I of the main story.
