You’ll see a base convo with Jake for every chapter that has a secret shop. He’ll hint to where you have to go too.

Please, I beg of you: what is the name of the song that sounds during the intro to Chapter 1, when the three characters are talking? I am fairly sure I know it from somewhere, I think that Golden Sun, but I can’t quite identify it and it’s driving me crazy.

Got DaniDoyle’s vid on this in my reccommended feed. “Two Milkmen Go Comedy” caught my interest, but their comment near the end about the secret poly ending had my attention for the sheer novelty of it, and the comment about the hack’s writing quality was the nail in the coffin.
Aaaaand now I’m on my third run of Chapter 1 Hard because fucking Marque is actually a bitch to kill while securing the other side objectives and making sure Arin doesn’t yoink any kills.
(Yes, I know that’s probably a pitfall, but god damn it my brain refuses to not be efficient with my precious EXP.)
Also, uh. I have a bit of a peeve for joining Discord servers for reasons I deem inconsequential, so could I please get some hints on that spoilery thing I mentioned above? Thanks.

In the in-game guide there’s a list of supports and when they level up.
Specifics but still trying to avoid spoilers
There are unit name spoilers in it but you don’t need to go far in the list and I don’t think there are any major ones, you need to progress all of Blair’s romantic supports (marked (R)) to the second last rank of B+ but not to A then watching a base conversation named after Blair. So you can work out when that’ll happen and which supports to avoid triggering by cross referencing that list.
You don’t need to know the following major spoiler till after you meet the last unit on the list and get to an obvious decision point. The last member of the polycule is part of a group you only permanently recruit 3 of and you need everybody involved to get the event and ending, on a fluffier note there are actually two endings for the polycule which I assume depend on another member’s support rank.
That’s how the discord and me spoiling myself with the event viewer says it is triggered.

I’m appreciative for the quick response to the quick response. My anxiety was telling me I took too long or went too far/not far enough. Now I need to finish up the other RPG I’m playing and actually start this game instead of pouring over it indirectly

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I’m new to ROM hacks and the download process is confusing me. I tried to download the hack, but the UPS file isn’t listed as a ROM I can open with my emulator. I went to the github to try and for more instructions or a specific file to download, but I couldn’t seem to find anything beyond sending me back to the UPS. Am I missing a step?
I’m so annoyed that I accidently supported Carbon with Blair not even intending just hit the button on accident and apparently I am locked out of this now T_T. I don’t even like Carbon and I have done everything else I needed to do for it basically just can’t have the two pieces do the support. I wish there was a way to erase a support or something.

You’ll need a vanilla FE8 .gba rom file (specifically, the US/Austrailian version), which is not something I can help you with. Then, you can patch it with Rom Patcher JS.

deaths don’t erase supports here (i’ve never liked that mechanic whoops)

You need to find a rom of vanilla fe8 (no one can provide you one here, you have to find it yourself) then use a patching tool (NUPS for example) to attach the UPS file to the ROM
