Hi everyone,

after creating a topic with some hack ideas, I finally managed to use the nightmare modules! Here is my take on FE4! Short version: player can use the enemies only holy weapons, substitutes are far better, most weapon weight divided by two.

Important: apply the patch to a japanese headered rom, here is a link below to apply a header.

The changes

/Character promotion

Deirdre can promote to sage
Quan can promote to master knight
Hannibal can promote to baron
Arthur starts as a mage knight
Arthur can promote to master knight

/Character skill added

Claud has nihil
Creidne has vantage
Muirne has pursuit
Amid has wrath and elite
Hermina has pursuit
Daisy has accost
Asaello has miracle
Tristan has adept
Jeanne has critical and adept
Linda has adept
Iuchar has wrath
Iucharba has ambush (instead of accost) and wrath

/Character holy blood

//1st gen
Lex has major Nál
Azelle has major Fjalar
Tailtiu has major Thrud

//2nd gen
Iuchar, Iucharba have major Nál
Creidne, Dalvin have minor Od
Tristan, Jeanne have minor Hoðr
Laylea, Charlot have minor Bragi
Hermina, Hawk have minor Forseti
Deimne, Muirne have minor Ullr
Daisy, Asaello have minor Ullr

Steel Axe → Helswath

this is cool to see, i made something like this for myself, but it was never finished, and it had other japanese patches too. (shoutout to the accost patch) but anyways thanks for making this.

Edit: maybe specify which rom this goes over? headered? unheadered? english patched? japanese?

Preferably with a japanese headered sfc rom. Emperor Arden is a cool idea btw.

Some comments of the change:

Overall the changes have been made to give the player an advantage, resulting in an easier game.

/Holy weapons from the vendor for 50000G
For Helswath you need to buy it for Lex starting from chapter 1 in the first gen.
You need to buy it for Iuchar or Iucharba starting from chapter 7 in the second gen.

For Valflamme you need to buy it for Azelle starting from chapter 3 in the first gen.
Azelle’s son can’t inherit Valflamme directly, he needs to buy it starting from chapter 9.

Tailtiu comes with the Mjölnir. Tine can’t inherit Mjölnir directly, she needs to buy it starting from chapter 8.

/About Julius
You can easily defeat him with Seliph’s Tyrfing since it negates Loptous effect now. He has 35 DEF now, which means even Yewfelle or Gae Bolg just scratch him.

/Swap Gungnir and Gae Bolg bonus
Altena can easily defeat Arion now (it felt so satisfying). And Arion is greatly nerfed, as he loses 4 attack speed.

/Arvis and Ishtar
Arvis gains 6 attack speed, and Ishtar gains 3 attack speed but they haven’t pursuit so it is ok (Ishtar has still adept though).

/Dark magic, long range magic and ballista
Since its enemies only, I have kept their original weight.

/Substitutes skills
Normally, brother and sister in the 2nd gen share the same skill set. Substitutes don’t follow this rule. By applying this rule, their skillsets have been greatly improved.

/About pairing
The Valkyrie staff, Forseti, and Valflamme can all be used by Arthur, Coirpre, or Ced, depending on their father.

Patch updated

Dalvin can promote to swordmaster
Laylea has elite
Charlot has charisma
Halves holy weapon price
Skills bracelets now cost 30000G
Better substitutes base stats
Better substitutes growth rate

For substitutes, if their stats or growth rate are lower than those of the weakest incarnation of the child they are replacing, they take on that child’s weakest stats or growth rate.
