Somniel will open up in Chapter 3 and is where leisure activities will take place. It’s here that you can bond with your party members and go shopping. At first, not much will be unlocked in Somniel, but as you go through the story more facilities will open up. Below we go over every area and facility in Fire Emblem Engage, when they unlock, and what they do.

My Room¶

Your room has two features a dresser that you can place a special object on and a bed to rest in. By sleeping in the bed, you can pass time in Somniel and trigger special cutscenes where different characters come to speak with Alear. This feature will unlock as soon as Somniel does in Chapter 3 of the story.

Café Terrace¶

Cafe Terrace opens up in Chapter 3, but you won’t have access to all of its features until Chapter 6. Many characters will sit in the cafe, and you can chat with them or use one of its three facilities.

Ring Chamber¶

The Ring Chamber allows you to do a variety of ring-related tasks. You can bond with Emblems if you polish rings, make bond rings, meld bond rings, inherit skills, and engage weapons.

Arena¶

The Arena unlocks at Chapter 5. It can be used to train your characters and strengthen their bonds. You can also train your Emblems here, but there is a set number of times you can train them after every completed battle.

Plaza¶

The Plaza is where you always start out when arriving in Somniel. It has several facilities that unlock, and characters will gather there, allowing you to chat with them.

This is a pool area down from the Plaza where you can chat with party members.

Orchard¶

The Orchard is a location where you can chat with characters and gather fruit. Once you reach Chapter 5, you will also be able to use it to scan amiibos.

Pond¶

The training yard is a place you can go to bolster your stats for your next battle. It won’t be of much use until you unlock Strength Training in Chapter 4.

The farmyard is where you’re going to be gathering many food items. Once you unlock the Stable, you will also be able to keep animals here and let them out to graze.
