Recruitment Guide: How to Recruit Units

Recruited Along with Byleth

Jeralt can only be recruited together with Byleth. If you succeed in recruiting Byleth, Jeralt will be recruited as well. The steps for recruiting Byleth, and by that token Jeralt, are listed below.

Watch Out for a Choice Warning

In the mission where Byleth and Jeralt will be recruitable, a message will be displayed that Your actions in this battle will greatly impact the outcome of the story. This is your signal to save your game and make sure that you're ready to retry in case you fail to recruit Byleth and Jeralt successfully.

We have currently only confirmed the exact steps to recruiting Byleth in the Azure Gleam and Golden Wildfire paths. The points may vary throughout each path, so please wait as we confirm the details for the Scarlet Blaze path.

Azure Gleam Path - Final Battle of Chapter 12: A Trick of the Goddess

The most important steps to recruiting Byleth and Jeralt on this path involve using a specific Strategy for the battle, avoiding being spotted by the Mercenaries, and choosing not to complete the Side Mission to defeat Byleth.

Step	Explanation
1	Before the battle, you will need to unlock the Locate Ambushers Strategy. This will be found at a Survey Spot labeled Menja Territory on the map.
2	At the start of the battle, select the Locate Ambushers Strategy. Be sure to save before the battle, since you'll miss your chance to recruit Byleth and Jeralt if you fail!
3	When the Main Mission with the Mercenary Ambushers begins, use the Locate Ambushers Strategy.
4	This is where things get tricky. If any of your units are seen by a Mercenary, the objective will change and you won't be able to recruit Byleth. Use an All-Out Defense on the bottom-right stronghold to get them out of the way.
5	A green arrow will appear on your map which will show the way to go to avoid any Mercenaries. Follow it and defeat any Stronghold Leaders on the way to open closed gates. If you succeed, the objective will change to Defeat Fleche.
6	A new Main Mission will appear to defeat the Mercenaries and prevent them from infiltrating the Allied Base. Complete this objective, then Defeat Fleche. Note that we also completed the Defeat the Tricksters Side Mission in our run – this is likely not relevant to recruiting Byleth but it's possible that it is a necessary step.
7	A new Main Mission will appear to Defeat Randolph. Complete this mission before Byleth reaches Randolph. Ignore the Side Mission to Defeat Byleth. If you defeat Byleth, you will not be able to recruit Byleth or Jeralt.
8	If you successfully defeat Randolph without defeating Byleth, the battle will end, and both Byleth and Jeralt will join your party!

Golden Wildfire Path - Final Battle of Chapter 10: Love and Loss

The most important steps to recruiting Byleth on this path involves sticking with Claude, choosing not to complete the Side Mission to defeat Byleth, and beating the final boss as quickly as possible.

Step	Explanation
1	After helping Claude reach his destination, you'll be given the objective of escorting him back safely while avoiding Byleth. You simply have to follow this objective to recruit them.
2	Ignore the Side Mission to defeat Byleth. Just continue sticking with Claude or else you will not be able to recruit Byleth.
3	While protecting Claude, send some units to the top left corner of the map. This is so that you can easily switch to them once Fleche, the final boss of the mission, appears there.
4	After successfully escorting Claude, Fleche will appear and Byleth will start rushing back to protect her.
5	Switch to the units you previously sent to the boss area and defeat Fleche before Byleth returns.
6	Accomplishing this lets you recruit both Byleth and Jeralt.
