How to get the Secret Ending in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes

In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, there are three endings you can get from playing through each path with three unique Houses: Black Eagles, Golden Deers, and Blue Lions. However, there is a fourth ending, the true Secret Ending, that you can only get one way. So, here's how to get the secret ending in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.

How to unlock the Secret Ending in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes

The Secret Ending can only be unlocked if you have recruited Byleth. If not, then the true ending is locked until you play through Three Hopes again and successfuly recruit Byleth. Byleth can be unlocked near the end of the game when the message, "Your actions in this battle will greatly impact the outcome of the story," appears.

Once you have Byleth on any route, go on to complete the game by finishing Chapter 14. Normally, the game will end here, but instead, a cutscene plays out that starts Chapter 15. The true Secret Endings adds two additional chapters for you to play (basically the Byleth route).

• Chapter 15: The Hour of Vengeance
• Chapter 16: Into the Chasm
