Fire Emblem

In the chapter where you first meet Pent and Hawkeye, go near the fossils on the ground with a thief character to find some rare items. There are two items by each fossil.

Have anyone of your characters lay a mine in front of an ememy unit. When the enemy unit steps on the space where the mine is a purple-ish colored fire will come up out of that spacce. When you see the fire, turn of your game and wait for 3 seconds, then turn the game back on. You will see the fire come out again and after the fire damages the enemy unit you can control the enemy's units until the end of the turn. Turning the game while enemy units are in your control cancels the cheat and ALL enemy units are then no longer under your command!

On any level that has an armory and the boss is sitting on a throne/gate/ect., bring any unit with a very high defense (Wallace or Oswin are the best). Move this unit to attack of the boss and let the boss attack him. Heal our unit whenever you need to but DON'T kill the boss, disarm your person, stand back and wait for the boss to heal, whatever needs to be done so that the boss lives. Eventually the boss's weapon(s) will break, then attack the boss and let him heal, your units will gain some descent exp. for dealing damage to a boss. Let the boss heal after every attack. Your people's weapons will break too, just go over and buy more, this will take a lot of time and money, but you can raise your people safely and sort-of quickly.

In chapter 13, guard Matthew until he reaches a swordsman called Guy. Let him talk to Guy. Then, he'll join your side because he owes matthew his life. He is a good swordsman. Note: If Guy is killed by one of your men, you can't get him. Only Matthew is able to get Guy on your side.

Get Nino to join your party and in the same chapter have Nino talk to Jaffar.

In chapter 19, an enemy theif known as Legault will betray Black Fang. Have Lyn talk to Legault and he will be persuaded to join your group.

In order to get Merlinus, complete the side quest that comes after chapter 13, the one where you must protect Merlinus for seven turns. If you successfully complete the side quest, you'll get the option to dispatch Merlinus, a merchant who will store some of your items when you can't carry them. Just follow the instructions that follow after you get merlinus.

In Chapter 26 you have to defend the prince of Bern. While doing this, have Lyn, Hector, or Elimood talk to Nino. After a brief disscussion she will join the team.

On chapter 16, the one where you regain Lyn's castle you can get Raven the mercenary and also have the monk Lucius rejoin your party. To do this bring Pricilla in the battle. Protect her until she reaches her long lost brother Raymond (Raven). Hopefully you do this before the soliders escape or they might hurt him. Let Pricilla talk to raven and get him on your team. Then let Raven talk to Lucius. They are great characters to add to the team.

Since you cant bring every person on a chapter that you have gotten, choosing the people to bring can be critical, if you choose the wrong people...
