[FE8] Fire Emblem: Code of the Burger King (Main Campaign Complete!)

Know what? Unless it got changed in some update on the discord I don’t know about there is no way to speed up that particular hidden recruitment.

On top of that, if I remember correctly some of the other hidden recruits are interconnected requiring one to recruit others.

Basically there is at least one other unit that can only be recruited by wario.

nah wario doesnt recruit anyone else, there’s only one interconnected secret unit and even that one doesn’t technically require another secret unit, just makes it quite a bit easier. as for wario it only took like 3 turns for me to get em, dont remember doing anything special for that bit to happen lol

That certainly has to have been a change cause I remember looking at this hack in FEBuilder and actually going “the hell!?” when I saw his turn limit requirement.

I also have fairly spotty memories of this hack but that I certainly remember.

Doing another run and found this guide on Discord for the lazy ppl :sweat_smile:

Secret chars

(note: any coordinates mean ‘right x, down y’ starting from the top left)

Prologue: Stand still for 30 turns.
Chapter 4: Wait at the end of the long grassy path that starts on the leftmost side of the map, tile 13,3
Chapter 9: Wait on the funky looking sand title in the bottom right end of the map, tile 22,23
Chapter 11 (kinda): Buy the ST4F Voucher at the vendor, then have the holder visit the easternmost house.
Extra for Chapter 11: Have Kaga visit the church close to the spawn point. This is for postgame.
Chapter 12: Stand on the tile behind the southernmost village.
Chapter 15: Visit the northernmost village with Chapter 9’s secret character. Otherwise you have a 1-2% chance of recruiting with anyone.
Chapter 16(1): Stand on one of the two land tiles separated from the rest of the map by that angular river in the southeast. 31,21~31,22.
Chapter 16(2): ⁠questions-and-suggestions⁠
Chapter 18x (not technically a secret but): Don’t kill the honse in any of the chapters they appear in.

It’s been quite some time since I beaten this romhack (twice). Both times were done back in last year.

Anyways, here’s how my units did in both of those runs (Gonna spoiler the image tho since it includes the secret characters).

LMAO this is the perfect conclusion to this support chain.

Also are some supports bugged? I get default FE8 supports between a decent chunk of characters that can support each other.

I’m finishing up the final chapter now. This was a hilarious and fun hack - much better than it has any right to be given the premise. The gameplay and map design was solid, although I think the difficulty was too high in the final 1/3 of chapters or so (especially reinforcements - those were overwhelming in some chapters). Also, it felt like every unit was the same by the final few chapters since enemies and your units were stat capped left and right with access to crazy top tier weapons. The writing was very good and I enjoyed the interactions between the characters - I only wish that the supports were completed. Seeing every character’s interaction with Samto in chapter 18 was particularly funny.

Here’s the characters I trained for most of the game along with some commentary on each. I’m not including backup staffbots and units that joined late.

Decent lord, although his late promotion definitely hampered him quite a bit. Also, he’s outsped by too many endgame enemies, so his usefulness is limited by then.


Good for chip damage with the Woppr and not much else.


MVP of the run. For much of the game, it felt like you were playing as the final boss when using Sephiran. The fact that he got flight is the cherry on top.


HUGH HUGH MUNGUS HUGH MUNGUS HUGH MUNGUS


Actually a very good player phase unit due to his speed, despite his self-deprecating personality in the game.


MVP of tanking longbows in the early chapters. The Aggravation skill is really important for positioning because it allowed me to put weak units in enemy range as long as this guy is also in their range.


Why does this generic Soldier have such good growths?


Great player phase unit that turned into god after obtaining the Holy Sword.


she do be sniping


He was a surprisingly good combat unit with ranged swords.


Not sure why he has the Counter skills since he dies anyways for the majority of the game if attacked.


Funny FE4 man. Staffbot for the entire run.


Fliers are always useful!


BIG BIG CHUNGUS BIG CHUNGUS BIG CHUNGUS

Also, I can’t tell if the author genuinely likes FE4 or is sarcastically ripping on it :rofl:
