Fire Emblem: The Lonely Mirror (Concept for FE8 ROM Hack)

That’s just the way I handled a snow village. I also wanted the destroyed buildings to create useful areas to hide. The doors are unopenable on this map. They are decorative doors.

Liang gets a shining bow, because the map felt more annoying having him unarmed.

Someone will drop an iron bow
And wtf ch10 thief can steal banshee?
So in chap 11 if u want roxie to join you have to ignore other 2 villages and go for the west one? (Only 4 ppl is hard)
Wait what does it mean accept bow or tome in ch11? Villages like FE6 ch9?

Oh, that’s funny. :laughing: Also, a pretty easy fix to have the thief not steal your banshee tome.

No, you don’t need to ignore the two other villages. You just need to accept the tome from the house near the initial placement. Liang and Roxie must both be alive and recruited (part 1) for this decision point to occur.

Yes, you only have 4 people - unless you accept the bow and Liang joins. Choosing Liang is the much easier choice. Roxie is more difficult. This map can be difficult on Normal mode if Boone, Caspian, and Myles are like base level. You’re not playing on Hard Mode are you?

Ofc not dont want another trauma (my current traumaed experiences: hard mode ephraim ship chapter, four kings, fe7 if, DLATMOL final chapter)
Wow the weapom choice is newly added right?
Yes its so hard to train caspian due to the swordsman everywhere that will just double him and no res base (hatchet wont do much damage b4 boone get all the final hits and iron axe wont hit consistently)
(And rng gave me double hp only growth)
Btw isnt hammer mt way too high? Its 15 so armor knight instant death
(And i think u messed it up with the wt?)
I think some enemies (like aeral gate the armor on the right of the boss) has low weapon rank so they had to use their secondary weapon

Are there any gaiden chapters/sidequests?

No there are no sidequest maps in this hack. Though, Hard mode is likely to have something in this category eventually. Play Normal mode though.

The weapon choice in Chapter 11 has been in there since the second release.

That’s a fair point. I can look into it more.

Caspian can be a little shaky initially, but if he gets 2 decent levels that give him speed, he can become a unit you rely on. He can also deal with the pegasus knight and armors decently well at base. He is also decent against the mage after using ward.

Wow
But the levels he got was pathetic
Joseph recruit chapter boss desc is same as someone in vanilla
Wise chapter, the inclined walls which seem to be lower than other walls (can be fly passed) cant be flew passed by flyers (tho i didnt use helga, its just the enemy)

I think the last patch I did probably screwed with the tile changes on this chapter, for whatever reason. Rom hacking is sometimes very much like a whack-a-mole game. I can fix this.

Yes, I will address this bug. Please give me some time.

In the meantime, I suggest playing on FE_LonelyMirror_v4_0.ups not v4_1. This bug does not exist in 4.0 and you can find it in the archive folder. The only thing that 4.1 fixes applies to Hard Mode, which shouldn’t be supported anyway.

@Ribombee This bug for all of Ch 15 should now be fixed in FE_LonelyMirror_v4_2.ups. Every bug you were encountering (i.e No Parvati, walls not breaking, etc) is due to the tile change value sharing the same data as Chapter 28 (current chapter I am working on). When I patched 4_1 earlier this week that got messed up in the process. You should be good now.

Little reminder for newcomers:remember to train virgil and Grant harder, they are crucial to saving a village at the east in ch19 (they had problem surviving in my case)
And there is a afa drops like thingy in second atc that maybe u will want to use on Lael ( leave her be low level )

Welp these chapters all have a pain to deal with
Somehow joseph promoting into dark griffon makes him lose weapon rank to B from A
And when I used unlock staff to unlock Leah’s door in the archieve chapter the cutscene was glitchy the sentences seemed like sped up and blanked(even Kathryn’s upgrade screen showed differeny color and sped up)
Wtf boone cant talk to edith? I think i had to restart chap

Chapter 25 is broken for me. Every time the cutscene with Quinn and Cobalt happens on turn 3 the game freezes (music continues, idle animations still occur, but the enemy turn doesn’t continue). Cobalt also doesn’t disappear and Quinn’s model is frozen after combat. Skipping the event just gives me a frozen black screen. I’m using JohnGBA emulator btw.

Edit: I switched to a different emulator and and got around this issue, it may be just a problem with the JohnGBA emulator as it had a similar issue with one of the events in a different hack.

That’s a relief that you were able to get past this issue. I was concerned as I checked it out on my end and couldn’t reproduce. I think you are correct. It must be the emulator, but even still, that’s so bizarre that that particular cut scene gave you problems. I don’t believe there to be anything fancy happening in that cut scene.

That being said, I do suggest the following emulators:

  • Visual Boy Advance 2.0.2 (preferred)
  • mGBA 0.7.1

I have addressed many of your comments that you have made @Ribombee. Parvati’s death quote, Eamon’s Con, Waste tome description. All fixed. Also, thank you for bringing these to my attention.

Some secret shops do have killer weapons, while some do not. You don’t need to buy anything if you do not like what is being sold. Personally, I find Rapier, Forseti, Physic and some of the magic weapons quite useful.

I am unfortunately not seeing the typo in this sentence. The line is “This whole impromptu plan was such a pain…” Was it a different sentence?

I changed the chapter clear condition to read “Talk with Lael” instead of “Talk to Edith.” The clear condition already read “Talk to Edith with Lael.” I apologize if this wasn’t clear.

Yes.

I would suggest either not using Silvan or promote him into a Warrior if the animation sprites scares you. You can also choose to turn off his animation.

You are going to have to be a little more specific here in order for me to help you out. Calling out all the chapters as having a pain will not get me to the source.

Yes, I am aware of this one. I have no idea why this happens. It just does. Let me know if anyone has a thought as to why this is occurring.

He is a major villain. My intention was for the player to dislike him.

Hmm… This is interesting. I wasn’t aware of this one; though, I don’t use unlock staff very often. I suppose the reason for this issue is that there is a cut scene triggered with the door and the unlock animation freaks the game out. I will need to play around with this, but I may have an idea on how to solve.

I think physic is about 250 gold per heal, not that useful when your team just have 3 healers (5 after 2 of them promote) (and somehow the healers are required to do magic damage so vulunery power
ok my english is bad it wasnt a typo (but -ptu really seems not a english word)
yup there’s 3 that could enter the zone so i thought they can all talk
(maybe in hard mode you can make the player split up the team and half of them go Dalmask half of them go Talford to torture them more but give both units and no one died cutscene as reward)
maybe it’s dark griffon promotion sets the anima B and half instead of adding an amount of mastery to it?
14 range berserk bruh nearly 10 uses of restore are in the chapter
Btw i cant find other secret shops except the one u in the chap u get the card
Whats the later general unit allowance? I dont know whether to bench or not at the moment
Ch24 : seize forts
Except there are no forts, only 3 ga(y)tes

At ch24 and no secret shop hints by far and not seeing any runes this chap (are they all in corners?)
And wise wyvern knight (thunder sage too) promotion will lose 1 con? Better rescuer?(yeah he can rescue amanda now)
Amanda=super knighty general and Irina crit nearly higher than hit lol
Maybe he share his con with Eamon
Deugan doesnt seem a bad guy (and idk why he moves away from the gate, just to get Booned)
Does amanda give something nice if u finish the chapter pretty earlier? she says I’m inefficient
Found a real typo this time: Eliza desc ‘if’

Thanks for your comments. I have gone through and fixed some of the class constitutions that do not make sense. I have also correct some of the text inconsistencies to make it more clear.

I think it is more rewarding to choose either Wanda or Tanya as well as switch up the map experience for replays. Doing this type of change would be a lot of work and would require rewrite to story.

I will be making this more clear in a future release. I will have NPC units tell you where the secret shop, or make the tiles more suspicious looking. Granted, the one on Chapter 26 is already pretty suspicious.

I have no idea. The base anima on a dark griffon is D, so I don’t know where the B coming from. It is only happening in this specific class to my knowledge.

Yup. That sounds about right.
