[FE8] [Completed] The Sacred Trilogy Reskin and Rebalance

Well, I guess it’s not a problem to reveal this now, as I’m told everything is well under way.
This hack will soon have achievement support, courtesy of Retro Achievements. For those unfamiliar with the site, it makes it possible to collect achievements on retro games by creating an account there and playing the games with a compatible emulator. I’ve been in contact with a dev from there and I’m told there will be roughly 112 achievements for this game. If that’s something you’re interest in, wait until the set is ready, otherwise, you can play the game right now.


Serves me right for including a new animation and not testing it out thoroughly :confused:
Good news is that the animation’s scripter released a fix just yesterday, so I’ll have to update that.


Thanks! It’s a different approach, and also a valid one. I will check that hack out now that I’m finally done with mine.

Hey, I’m wondering if the Chapter guide is still correct or if I’m missing out on anything by playing them now on the latest update before the changelog is out

Version 2.1 is out

Just a quick fix for Valter’s lance animation freezing the game. Hopefully, there won’t be any other hiccups.


I only changed the requirements for the Lagdou Ruins 10 sacred weapons. I’ll update the guide later today.

But is it harder though or did u make it easier?

Thanks for the fix. I am not interested in the achievement so I will play it now

axe I receive from this house in chapter 4 got 218 uses

Oh, not this again :confused:

I’ve tested that chapter with mGBA and VBA-M, using save states and the game’s save function, and I never encountered this issue. There’s nothing wrong with the event as well…


I have no idea what causes that and at this point, I’m convinced this is an elaborate prank that y’all are pulling on me lol

why not set the uses of the Iron Axe to maximum, like 50? If I had to hazard a guess, some emulators seem to have an issue with reading the durability data since it is set to 0 in that event.

How about the setting the uses to 40, maybe that will fix the bug?

The dreaded meme durability axe returns to haunt you yet again

This hack looks cool but I see the main post hasn’t been updated since July, is it accurate still?

It seems you definitely changed enough to the file structure that I will probably need to start a new game. If that’s the case, I will wait until version 2.0 is upgrade effectively complete and debugged.

I have seen some of the changes you made to stage 10 in the ruins in 2.0. Without spoilers, I wonder If those characters and weapons would make a comeback in from 1.3.1 to 2.0 or were they completely removed?

I also saw that you were working on the summon mechanic at one point of this project. It would be cool if there were another summon, but there are only three character that can viably summon at late game.
Though that seems like a massive change to your final iteration, version 2.0. This ties into my other question,

if the current version of the game is the last one to expect compatibility issues, I’m assuming you are not doing any large updates that would break compatibility?

This a very good hack and can’t wait until its completed. It was my first fire emblem game, and I only played it to near completion on the physical cartridge. The tower corrupted my save file because I interacted with a particular mob.

Hello, I am new here. Made an account just to comment. Tried this game and am loving it so far. FE8 has always been my favourite fe game as it’s the 1st fe game I played.

Anyhow sorry if this has been asked before, there’s like 1200 responses and its not easy to find anything about magvelian ore. What is this item? I have gotten a few of them and have no idea what it does or how to use it.

Also do you guys have a dedicated discord for this romhack?

Try to collect them all (from the chapter guide theres how) and you can make the Legendary Weapons unbreakable

Are there any new playable characters other than the 2 you get in the new chapter inside the standard campaign, not creature campaign? Also that chapter freaking stinks in hard difficulty, I cant even get to the green unit in turn 2 and he dies at the start of turn 2 for me in hard mode by retaliation damage from the enemy. Is he supposed to be getting doubled in hard mode?

Lol. It still persists.

A few skills in the excel sheet are green colored, what’s different about those 6?
EDIT: Oh and in the classes part Neimi is still listed for Warrior

Ok, the color pallete and helm design for the Paladin’s class is chef’s kiss.

EDIT: I may be having a Alzheimer moment here, but is Counter supposed to kill you? I thought it was meant to leave you at 1 HP?

I believe they are class skills that were not being properly learned upon promotion due to conflicts with learning a new class skill (canto+, crit +15, etc.) and instead are learned at level 2.
