How to start the Fire Emblem Engage Fell Xenologue DLC

To start the Fell Xenologue DLC, you must have reached chapter seven, Dark Emblem. Once you have, you'll get access to the Ancient Well via the Armory, a feature that allows you to swap weapons for better ones; the more weapons you put in (maximum of five), the more chance you get of receiving an improvement.

With this unlocked, you'll receive a cutscene after booting up Fire Emblem Engage and installing the latest update, officially kicking off the Fell Xenologue DLC. To access the DLC at any point, interact with the Ancient Well and click on Fell Xenologue.

You can also change the DLC's difficulty at any point here, switching between Normal, Hard, and Maddening depending on your playstyle.
