Fire Emblem Three Houses Blutgang Sword

Blutgang is a powerful hero’s relic sword, and it’s relatively easy to obtain. Here’s how to get it:

  1. Blutgang is associated with Marianne’s Crest in the game.
  2. To obtain Blutgang, you’ll need to complete the paralogue mission titled “Forgotten Hero.” This paralogue will become available if you have recruited Marianne during the war phase of the game.
  3. There are no additional conditions or character recruits needed to access this paralogue. However, be prepared, as “Forgotten Hero” is considered one of the more challenging missions in the early game.

To get the relic, Blutgang, complete the mission “Forgotten Hero.” Marianne splits from her team during the war. This chapter has many demons, which can be tough for Marianne, who’s a Support class.

For safety and efficiency, avoid battles as much as possible. Marianne can be easily overwhelmed. Use Gambits frequently to slow down pursuing enemies. Head towards the northern woods from her initial spawn point to progress without combat.

Areadbhar

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Areadbhar Lance

Areadbhar is another one of the 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 not be able to get this weapon. Areadbhar is the signature weapon of Dimitri.

  • To acquire Areadbhar, complete the 15th Chapter of the game, titled “The Valley of Torment.”
  • Upon completing this chapter, you will automatically receive the powerful weapon Areadbhar, which boasts 19 might and 20 uses.
  • Areadbhar allows Dimitri to use the devastating Atrocity Combat art, one of the strongest attacks in the game capable of one-shotting nearly any enemy.

Changing your story for Areadbhar is worth it, making it an incredible Heroes’ Relic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses’ Azure Moon route. If you’re already on this route, there’s no reason not to obtain this powerful lance.

Crusher

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 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”.

To obtain Crusher, complete the paralogue “Weathervanes of Fodlan,” which is connected to Annette. This Relic is exclusive to the Azure Moon route, requiring Gilbert, who’s also exclusive to this route.

In the chapter, prioritize reaching Annette and Gilbert to ensure their safety before confronting the boss. Once they’re secure, proceed with the mission, defeat the boss, and you’ll be rewarded with the Crusher Hammer. Annette can wield it to deal damage primarily through magic rather than sheer strength.

Aegis Shield

Defensive Relic Aegis Shield

The Aegis Shield is one of the most potent defensive items but also one of the hardest to obtain. It’s not locked to a specific route and can be obtained in any route by recruiting Felix, allowing access to the “True Chivalry” paralogue.

To acquire the Aegis Shield, participate in the “True Chivalry” paralogue, which involves protecting all the villagers present in it. Unlike other Heroes’ Relics, this one requires additional effort and care during the mission.

How Do You Obtain Aegis Shield Heroes’ Relic?

Getting the Aegis Shield:

  • In this chapter, the player must protect all the villagers.
  • Failure to protect even one villager results in not receiving the Aegis Shield.
  • On normal and hard difficulties, it can be challenging but manageable.
  • On the hardest difficulty, it becomes extremely difficult, with villagers dying rapidly.
  • A potential strategy is to use a Wyvern riding character to defeat the boss in a single turn.
  • After successfully protecting every villager in the chapter, you will be rewarded with the Aegis Shield.

By ensuring the safety of all villagers, you can obtain the Aegis Shield.

Sword of The Creator

Byleth’s Sword of the creator

This is, without a doubt, the easiest 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 undeniably the best Relic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and obtaining it should be a top priority. This staff is linked to the Crest of Gloucester and Lorenz.

What makes Thyrsus exceptional is its ability to extend the range of all spells by 2 when equipped, making even the most powerful Mages deadlier. However, it comes with a drawback: if a unit lacks a crest, it deals only 10 damage each turn. To mitigate this, it’s recommended to use it with a character who possesses a crest.

Mages like Lysithea, who have a crest, are excellent choices for wielding Thyrsus, nullifying the drawback and maximizing its potential. Annette is another option, especially if you’re not using her with the Crusher Relic.

To obtain the Thyrsus Heroes’ Relic, follow these steps:

  1. Complete the paralogue titled “The Land of the Golden Deer.” This paralogue is available in every route, so it’s not locked to a specific one.
  2. The paralogue becomes accessible after the 6th Chapter, provided you have recruited Lorenz into your house.
  3. The great news is that this paralogue is one of the easiest in the game, despite granting you access to the most potent Heroes’ Relic. Enjoy the power it brings to your mages!

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 all the Relics, Thunderbrand is also associated with a unit and crest.

  2. Thunderbrand is available in every route except the Crimson Flower route, as Catherine cannot be recruited in that path.
  3. You can recruit Catherine as early as the 4th Chapter in most routes, so you can access Thunderbrand relatively early in the game.
  4. Keep in mind that the minimum level requirement to recruit Catherine is 15. If your level is lower, you can still recruit her by increasing your Support level with her. Give her gifts to raise her Support level, and you’ll be able to recruit her and her formidable weapon earlier.

Failnaught

  2. In the Azure Moon route, you won’t obtain the Failnaught until very late in the game, specifically at the endgame. Once you complete the 19th Chapter in the Azure Moon route, you will automatically receive the bow.

Failnaught is known for its signature combat art, which is exclusive to Claude. It boasts a fantastic 2-3 range and 18 Might, making it one of the best bows in the game. Enjoy its power!

Luin

Luin is another one of the incredible Relics in the game. It is a very impressive and efficient lance that is very simple to obtain and is available on every route. The only main requirement that the player needs to fulfill is that they recruit Ingrid.

Obtaining Luin is very simple. You just need to complete Ingrid and Dorthea’s paralogue, “Rumored Nuptials”. When the paralogue is finished the player will automatically receive the lance. We advise you to equip it with someone who has the same Crest but you can of course experiment and pick any character you see fit.

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.

Getting the Lance of Ruin:

  • If you’ve recruited Sylvain and refuse to hand the lance over to Rhea at the end of Chapter 5, it will automatically be given to Sylvain. This is one of the easiest ways to obtain it.
  • If you haven’t recruited Sylvain or gave the lance to Rhea, you can still obtain it. Start by recruiting Sylvain and then completing his paralogue, “The Forgotten.”
  • The Lance of Ruin can be obtained fairly early in the game, and its combat art is extremely powerful, especially in the early stages. It’s recommended to acquire it as soon as possible.

Freikugel

The Freikugel Axe

We are nearing the end of our guide. Freikugel is an axe and it is one of the best ones. 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

The Rafail Gem is a Heroes’ Relic that offers exceptional defense rather than serving as an offensive weapon. It provides excellent protection by preventing your enemies from dealing bonus damage and landing critical hits on the unit that has it equipped.

Notably, when the Rafail Gem is worn by Mercedes, she gains additional advantages. In battle, Mercedes benefits from both Aegis and Pavise on top of the basic defenses provided by the Gem, making her an even more formidable unit.

How to Obtain Rafail Gem Heroes’ Relic?

To obtain this excellent defensive relic all the player has to do is complete a paralogue that is titled, “The Face Beneath” which is available during the war phase. The player can only access the paralogue if they have both Mercedes and Casper recruited.

Moreover, it is necessary to keep in mind that the respective paralogue is not available in the Crimson Flower route. So that means you can’t obtain the Rafail Gem Relic if you are doing that route.

And that covers about all you need to know about the best heroes’ Fire Emblem: Three Houses Relics. We have provided you with a list of the best ones and exactly how to obtain them by completing their respective paralogues.
