Chapter-by-chapter information

• I'll describe here what's happening at some key moments. In particular, maps that aren't simply a simple 2-turn warp -> kill -> seize approach.

Chapter 1: Marth Embarks

• The thief is dispatched.
• Marth receives an iron sword to save the Rapier's durability.
• Marth and Jeigan make their way to the boss.

Chapter 2: The Pirates of Galder

• A few units drop their weapons to prevent them from counterattacking during the enemy turn.
• Marth receives a Vulnerary to ensure he survives a couple of encounters.

Chapter 3: A Brush in the Teeth

• Lena (and her crucial Warp staff) and Julian move to safety behind Doga.

Chapter 4: Battle in the Lea

• The first of several warp -> kill -> seize chapters.

Chapter 5: Champions of Aurelis

• The Warp staff has 7 uses. The next Warp staff is found in Chapter 12. Of chapters 4 through 11, 5 is the quickest to complete without warping.

Chapter 7: Lefcandith Gauntlet

• Marth got overwhelmed when I tried to 2-turn this chapter, so on turn 1 Marth drops a couple of items and then lets the enemy take a turn to move some of their forces away from the capture point.

Chapter 12: The Ageless Palace

• Boa is moved to safety to enable later Warp chaining shenanigans.
• The thieves are dispatched to obtain an Armorslayer sword and the 2nd Warp staff.
• Marth takes advantage of the first turn downtime to use a power stat boosting item.

Chapter 17: Star and Savior

• Julian (a thief) is used to open the door to the boss room and to be able to get the last Warp staff from a chest.

Chapter 19: Manakete Princess

• Marth kills an enemy thief to get the Lightsphere. Julian gets the Starsphere from a chest.

Chapter 20: Camus the Sable

• Turn 1: Julian gives the Starsphere to Marth; Lena warps Marth to the village to get the Hammerne; Marth deposits it in the Convoy; Boah withdraws it.
• Turn 2: Lena gives the 1-use-remaining Warp staff to Boah; Boah gives Hammerne to Lena.
• Turn 3: Lena recharges Boah's Warp staff. In an ideal world, Boah warps Marth here and Marth kills the boss and survives the enemy turn, to then seize on turn 4. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work - Marth always died. So instead Marth is warped on turn 4.

Chapter 21: Clash in Macedon

• Attempts at 2-turn seize on this chapter always resulted in death, so one enemy turn is used to move some enemy troops away from the seize point.

Chapter 22: A Knight-Filled Sky

• Turn 1: Boah warps Marth to the village to exchange the Lightsphere and Starsphere for the Starlight tome. Lena warps Boah next to Marth.
• Turn 2: Marth gives the Starlight tome to Boah. Boah warps Marth to the boss.

Chapter 23: Dark Pontifex

• Turn 1: Boah warps Marth to the boss. Marth kills the boss. Lena warps Boah next to Marth.
• Turn 2: Boah kills Gharnef with the Starlight tome to get the Falchion sword. Marth seizes.

Chapter 24: The Dragonkin Realm

• Turn 1: Boah gives the Falchion to Marth and the Warp staff to Lena (via an intermediary). Lena warps Marth to the boss.

Chapter 25: Chosen By Fate

• Turn 1: Lena warps Marth. Marth kills one of the Curates.
• Turn 2: Lena warps Gato. Gato kills the other Curate. Marth starts the painfully slow process of whittling down Medeus's Manakete guard.
• Turn 3: Marth attacks. Gato heals Marth.
• Turn 4: Gato heals Marth. Marth attacks.
• Turn 5: Marth kills Medeus's guard. Gato kills the sniper.
• Turn 6: Marth kills Medeus, with 1 HP remaining (naturally).

Additional information

• I made some notes about RAM addresses etc. that may be of help to others.
