FE8 Boss Recruitment (Ephraim Route Edition)

Hi everyone, and this is a small hack I decided to make. This was inspired by the FE5 Reverse Boss Recruitment hack made a while back. This hack was based on Ephraim Route’s ordering of bosses, and I decided to make the player go Ephraim Route as a result, but I still accounted for Eirika Route bosses because, quite frankly, there weren’t enough bosses. Because of that, I added some monsters as playable characters.

You now play as O’Neill and Selena, the latter of which becomes the main lord.

Some changes from vanilla

  • Brigands promote with Hero Crests
  • Monsters have a exclusive promotion item in Hell’s Mark
  • :crab: TOWER AND RUINS ARE GONE :crab: (this means that grinding is more like 3H on Hard and Maddening Mode)
  • Brigands can use lockpicks and have extended fog vision

Don’t know if you want to polish this further but if so I found two things so far: Colm will move off the throne to steal stuff from you and you lack a chestkey in that chapter.

Funny little hack.

With Colm it was intentional, as he has stupidly high Avoid for this point in the game. It was done so you can actually hit him more reliably. I also did this with Marisa for the very same reason.

As for the chest key thing, I really had no idea how to go about it, so I left it as is.

Greetings ! I’m horribly late to the party, but i wanted to ask some questions, if you’re still here : How does this hack work ? As, in, does it have it’s own story, supports… etc. Thanks !

Perhaps I’m a bit delayed in answering, but every playable character in the main campaign is swapped with a boss character.

The story and other dialog remains unchanged.

not a… necromancer?

I wanted Syrene to have a special class, since she replaces Lyon.

Artur is a menace, aura lets him crit and ohko basically everyone, and I am lowmanning with Selena Murray Bazba Zonta Gheb and Breguet, had to promote Murray at 17, pure water and angelic robe him so he could survive a crit, that could softlock or kill lots of guys and fuck his avoid is big. Murray has 80 hit with slim sword when aura is equipped

Alright, because of a few problems I found in the current patch, I decided to fix it. This fix includes:

  • Brigands having thief skills like extended vision range, lockpicking, and boosted EXP.
  • Selena being able to use staves at base.
  • Thrones and gates having less avoid

The newest version can be found in the Hino here. I will add it to the OP.

Thank you so much! Chapter 10 was frustrating for me because I was lacking a healer.

Is Tirado having E rank Swords at base and Selena’s Static hitting Def instead of Res a glitch or intentional?
