Part 83: Paralogue 18: The Dead King's Lament - Preparation

Paralogue 18: The Dead King's Lament



Once Grima is defeated, all the current Renown is counted up and saved for future playthroughs. I'll get to Renown bonuses in a separate update, but it jumpstarts a new playthrough with some great weapons, stat boosters, and money among other things.



Beating the endgame throws the party back at the last save which means any levels gained during the walk to killing Grima are reset. That means there's no true post-game for Awakening, but there's still tons of things to do.





Going to the bonus box->bonus maps are 6 paralogues that were released every 2 weeks on spotpass. These can be activated any time, but are only open once Endgame: Grima is revealed. You can do all of these paralogues before fighting Grima for the first time as well.



The Dead King's Lament is the first paralogue up for "post-game" content. It's located left of Chapter 23, in the very southwest corner of the 1st continent.





Hey! Got salt in yer ears, maggot? I said to move yer maggoty hide!

...... Maggot...

Yar, maggot! And if the maggot has further questions, my blade can answer 'em!

...The maggot is just fine, thanks.

The maggot's a useless little sea squirt is what he is! Yar har ho!

Anyway, maggots, best keep what little wits ye've got! The cavalry we face is none other than Chrom and his Shepherds! (leaves)

Chrom... That name rings damnable sour in this dead man's ear. Not that any of it matters now...

*Meanwhile, at the entrance of the peak*



Indeed. Their leader is a man named Zanth, the so-called Southron Sea King.

His crew can stand up to most armies, and as such, he holds sway over the south. Extreme caution should be the order of the day against this one, milord.

Right. Then let's finish our business and get out of here!



An interesting map as there's a narrow mountain passage to reach the boss. The real difficulty will be the unique way to recruit our...special guest that has appeared from the dead.



Hi Gangrel.



Enemies are certainly post-gameish, or at least on the level of chapter 25+.
