This is one of the better Fire Emblem: Three Houses heroes’ Relics which is simpler than most to obtain. The character whose Crest Blutgang is tied with is also someone who you can get early on.

As far as appearance is concerned Blutgang is a heroes’ relic that is a badass sword. Blutgang is tied to Marianne’s crest in the game. What makes this an easy relic to get is that the player can obtain it directly after a paralogue. 

To obtain Blutgang you will have to complete the paralogue “Forgotten Hero” which will only be available if the player had recruited Marianne during the war phase. So it is compulsory that you don’t forget about Marianne.

Moreover, there aren’t any extra conditions that you will need to fulfill or people that you will need to recruit. The player should still keep in mind that “Forgotten Hero” is one of the most difficult missions in the early game.

The safest and most efficient way to proceed is that you avoid battles as much as you can because Marianne can easily be defeated by the mobs of the adversaries. We advise you to spam Gambits regularly to slow down the hordes of enemies chasing you. 

In addition, avoid all the combat and by proceeding towards the woods located the north of her initial spawn location for the mission. 

Areadbhar

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Areadbhar Lance

Areadbhar is another one of the Fire Emblem: Three Houses Best Heroes’ Relics. This is a lance that is linked to the Blaiddyd Crest. While being one of the best lances it is also one of the easiest Relics to obtain in the game.

Moreover, it is important to keep in mind that while it is easy to obtain, Areadbhar is locked to the Azure Moon route, and of course, if you proceed with a different route you will be will not be able to get this weapon. Areadbhar is the signature weapon of Dimitri.

If you have progressed through the story by following the Azure Moon route, the Relic will be available to obtain and you should be able to obtain the weapon with ease. 

All you have to do to get Areadbhar is complete the 15th Chapter of the game, The Valley of Torment, once you have done so you will automatically receive the brilliant weapon. The weapon has 19 might and 20 uses.

In addition, what makes Areadbhar a real beast is that when Dimitri is wielding this immensely powerful lance he can unleash the devastating Atrocity Combat art. Atrocity Combat is one of the strongest attacks in the game and can one-shot kill nearly every enemy in the game. 

You will have to change your story for it but it is an incredible Fire Emblem: Three Houses Heroes’ Relic and if you were already in the Azure Moon route then there is no reason not to get Areadbhar.

Crusher

The Crusher Hammer Fire Emblem: Three Houses

The Crusher is an enormous hammer that is linked to the Crest of Dominic. The ideal character to wield Crusher is Annette. 

Similar to most Fire Emblem: Three Houses Heroes’ Relics Crusher is obtained during a paralogue that is connected to one of the students who is a part of the timeline story, in our case, the student is Annette

Moreover, Crusher is another incredible Relic that is locked to the Azure Moon route. You will need to obtain Gilbert for this paralogue and he is exclusive to the Azure Moon route. The paralogue is called “Weathervanes of Fodlan”

It is a pretty simple chapter/quest but we are here to guide you through it so that you can obtain the weapon in the least infuriating way possible.

In “Weathervanes of Fodlan” Annette and Gilbert similar to Marianne in her paralogue will start the chapter separated from each of their forces. So they will both be alone and susceptible to the enemies.

Your number one priority should be hurrying to their locations and making sure they are safe and ready before you think about engaging the boss. Once both Annette and Gilbert are safe proceed with the mission as you usually do and defeat the boss.

When you have completed the mission you will receive the Crusher Hammer as a reward. Have Annette wield it and demolish your foes with its magic. Yes, Crusher is a hammer that mainly deals damage through magic and not its size or strength.

Aegis Shield

Defensive Relic Aegis Shield

The Aegis Shield is easily one of the strongest defensive items in the game but beware it is also unlike most of the Relics we mentioned so far and is one of the hardest ones to obtain in the game. It is one of the strongest Fire Emblem: Three Houses Relics.

It is not locked to a specific route like the previous two Relics and can be obtained from any. The player will need to recruit Felix which will let them gain access to the “True Chivalry” paralogue. Partake in it to get the Aegis Shield as a reward.

Moreover, our other Fire Emblem: Three Houses Heroes’ Relics can be obtained just by completing their respective paralogues. This one is a bit more complicated as it will have you protecting all the villagers present in it.

How to Obtain Aegis Shield Heroes’ Relic?

The player must protect all the villagers in this chapter.  If you fail to protect even a single villager and they die you will not receive the Aegis Shield. It can be quite challenging in the normal and hard difficulties of the game but still pretty tame. 

The hardest difficulty of the game is when the chapter into an agonizing hurdle as all the villagers drop dead like flies at a rapid rate. The best solution to it is still a hard one. You can use a Wyvern riding character to kill the boss in a single turn.

Once the chapter is complete and you have successfully protected every villager from harm you will receive the Aegis Shield as a reward.

Sword of The Creator

Byleth‘s Sword of the creator

This is without a doubt the easiest Fire Emblem: Three Houses Heroes’ Relic to obtain. It is the signature weapon of the player’s character Byleth, female or male. The Sword of the creator isn’t locked to any route and can be obtained during the Academy Phase

It can be obtained during the Academy Phase after the player completes the game’s 4th Chapter. The sword of the creator is a solid sword that provides a 1-2 range, and the Ruptured Heaven art is extremely effective against enemies.

The sword of the creator should be the first and foremost Heroes Relic you should have in mind. You will receive it very easily and it will carry your Byleth throughout the game.

Thyrsus

The Staff Thyrsus

Thyrsus is without doubt by far the best Fire Emblem: Three Houses Heroes’ Relic. It should be the one the player should be most motivated to get. The Relic is a staff and it is connected to the Crest of Gloucester and Lorenz.

It is one of the few Relics in the game that the game encourages to try out on different characters/units. When a unit is equipped with this staff, the range of all their spells increases by 2. 

In addition, the buff in range makes the deadliest Mages in the game even deadlier, as now they can simply snipe their enemies with their strongest spells.

There is a drawback to the weapon. If a unit doesn’t possess a crest it only deals 10 damage each turn. Which can be quite low so we advise you use it with a character who has a crest. 

Some of the best mages in the game possess a Crest which renders the drawback into nothing. Lysithea is a good pick or even Annette if you are not using her with Crusher.

Now that we know all about the strengths of this incredible Relic let’s see how to obtain it for your Mages. To obtain it all you will have to do is complete the paralogue titled, “The Land of the Golden Deer”. 

The paralogue is available in each route so the weapon isn’t locked to a specific one. It will become available after the 6th Chapter if you have recruited Lorenz.

Moreover, the cherry on top is that the paralogue is one of the easiest ones in the game. Yes, you are getting the strongest Fire Emblem: Three Houses Heroes’ Relic from an easy level.

Thunderbrand

Thunderbrand is an improved variation of a Brave Sword. It is an incredible sword and is easily among the strongest Fire Emblem: Three Houses Relics. Like with all the Relics Thunderbrand is also associated with a unit and crest.

Thunderbrand is available for every route in the game except the Crimson Flower route as Catherine cannot be recruited in that. Players going through other routes are lucky as you can recruit Catherine as early as the 4th Chapter in the game. 

In addition, it is wise to take into account that the minimum level to recruit Catherine is 15. If your level is lower there is no need for concern as this requirement can be lowered based on your Support level with her.

To increase her Support level simply keep giving her gifts and then you will be able to get her and her awesome weapon earlier.

Failnaught

Lance of Ruin

The Lance of Ruin

This is the third lance in our guide. Lance of Ruin is the second Fire Emblem: Three Houses Heroes’ Relic that the players will come across. In the 5th Chapter, it is wielded by Sylvain’s brother who goes by the name Miklan and is tied to the Crest of Gautier

We recommend that you use it with Sylvain. It will be most effective that way and will also give you access to its combat art which will only be available if Sylvain wields the weapon. The combat art is “Ruined Sky” and it annihilates every enemy on the field.

In addition, if you haven’t recruited Sylvain thus far or if you have the lance away to Rhea, there is no need for concern you can still obtain it. Simply start by going to Sylvain, recruiting him, and then completing his paralogue which is called, “The Forgotten”

We are nearing the end of our guide. Freikugel is an axe and it is one of the best ones in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This is connected to Hilda and her Crest of Goneril. It can be obtained in every route except Crimson Flower because you can’t recruit Hilda in it.

The player can also earn additional cool Relics while hunting for Freikugel. It is a great Relic and Hilda can also prove to be a viable addition to your team.

Obtaining Freikugel is quite simple. The player will have to complete a paralogue during the Academy time which is called “Dividing the World”. You will receive Freikugel when you complete the paralogue no additional conditions need to be fulfilled. Hilda needs to be recruited.

We concur that most of these Relic paralogues are easy and mostly the player just needs to know who to talk to and how to initiate the paralogue. In the paralogue, if your fellow allied soldiers survive the ordeal you will receive additional rewards like Hexlock Shield

Rafail Gem

Fire Emblem Defensive Gem Rafail
The Defensive Rafail Gem

This gem is the last Fire Emblem: Three Houses Heroes’ Relic in our guide. Similar to the Aegis Shield, The Rafail Gem is a Relic that provides great defense instead of serving as an offensive weapon.
