Let's Play Genealogy of the Holy War

Alright… here we are. Last time I tried to beat Genealogy, I softlocked myself in Chapter 2 by having Sigurd charge into the ballista and myrmidon army while the castle defender was very NOT silenced. Got put to sleep, GGs. THIS TIME, it’s gotta be different! I’ll be keeping updates on my progress, wish me luck.

Recap of the Prologue:


This is the first level of the game.


Bandit: Time to finish you off!
Lex: hehehe vantage go brrrrr


OK, but in all seriousness, way too close. Get in the chapel, Lex.


In case you’re wondering why I moved all my guys across the map…


THIS IS THE FIRST LEVEL OF THE GAME.
(At least they don’t charge you all at once.)


It’s an honor indeed, Sigurd. Silver weapons are busted in this game.


I’ve heard that Sigurd is by far the best lord ever, and good golly gravy, those people were RIGHT.


And as you can see, the five blue boxes on the map means I saved all the villages!


Gerrard: I’ll kill you, you scum!
Sigurd: Oh, just take the L.

On to Chapter 2!

Chapter 1 recap:


This is a real tough one to recruit, let’s see if I can do it.


Aw come on, level some STRENGTH!
(Alec then lost the arena.)


Freaking RUUUUN!


Kinbaith: You think you can just waltz into MY territory and take what’s MINE!?
Azelle: BURN IN HOLY FIRE!


And if you’re wondering what happened to the cleric’s pursuers, Sigurd happened.


Sigurd: Alright! I siezed the castle!


Almost Dead Noish: YEAH THAT’S REAL GREAT, ISN’T IT?!?


Pursuit, Nihil, Astra. Now THAT is a good unit.


Meanwhile, Green units being a godsend in the upper left.


And then Aideen almost died. Lucky!


Gandolf: YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!
Sigurd: You really wanna die, don’t you?


GBA Desert Maps WISH they could be as annoying as this FREAKING FOREST.


It took a little finessing, but I got Jamke. And since when were archers good? He good!


And here we have a classic secret event! Brave axe for the win!
(And then I beat the map.)


SOON… I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE.

Chapter 2 recap:


This is fine.


Sigurd: Are you an invader?
Elliot: Man’s gotta do somethin’ for a living!
Sigurd: Dying ain’t much of a living, boy.


Forgettable boss: I’m gonna kick your-
Finn: Shut up, dude.


I expected Pegasus knights, got a whole swarm of cavaliers. Need to be more aggressive to stop this kind of stuff…


Forgettable boss: Behold! You will never break my perfect defenses! Prepare to be softlocked-


Sigurd 30 turns later: SCREW THAT SLEEP STAFF!!


Homestretch, we can do this!


Chagall: You can’t defeat me! Nev-
Sigurd: I
HAVE HAD


ENOUGH OF YOU!!

Chapter 2 finally OVER! Time for Chapter 3!
