In Fire Emblem Engage, you’ll continually unlock new features, characters, and other goodies as you progress through the game. For the most part, you can almost expect something new every Chapter. This page will give you a breakdown of what rewards and unlocks you can expect from every Chapter.

The information below will inform you of the unlocks by chapter, with any additional notes for that particular chapter (such as needing to speak to a character to recruit them).

Chapter 1¶

Nothing too fancy here for the introductory chapter, you’ll unlock all of the Lythos Units as permanent recruits along with your first Emblem, Marth.

Chapter 2¶

More tutorials abound but you will still unlock the excellent Liberation for Alear along with your second Emblem in Sigurd, one of the better ones in the game.

Chapter 3¶

The game starts to open up a little more following this Chapter, but you’ll still bag yourselves three Firene recruits. You’ll also gain access to the Somniel and the first set of features.

Chapter 4¶

Chapter 4 will hand you over a set of new Firene recruits, another Emblem in the form of Celica, who focuses on magic. Back in the Somniel, you’ll gain access to the Item Shop and the Armory, both of which will update their stocks throughout the game.

Chapter 5¶

Chapter 5 itself has nothing to unlock, but once you beat the Chapter and return to the World Map, you’ll unlock the game’s first Paralogue, Budding Talent. This Paralogue will give you the opportunity to recruit Jean so long as you speak to him with Alear.

Back in the Somniel, the Arena will open up, allowing you to fight three practice battles for EXP and battle against Emblems to increase your Bond Level in exchange for Bond Fragments. The Smithy and Boutique will unlock too, allowing you to purchase outfits and refine your weapons.

Chapter 6¶

You’ll get yourself one of the better characters in the game during the story Chapter, along with the next Emblem. Once you beat the Chapter, return to the Somniel to recruit Emblem Edelgard if you have the DLC.

Once you return to the World Map, you’ll find the Mysterious Merchant Paralogue where you can recruit Anna by speaking to her with Alear. After beating this, you’ll unlock the Dragon Temple Paralogue, which allows you to recruit Emblem Tiki if you have the DLC. Back in the Somniel, you’ll gain the ability to cook meals to buff your characters for the next battle.

Chapter 7¶

You’ll recruit the first batch of Brodia characters during this Chapter along with obtaining your first Master Seal once you defeat Hortensia. This can be used to change a class to an Advanced one so long as they meet the requirements.

Chapter 8¶

A lot of unlocks in Chapter 8, you’ll unlock two more Brodia recruits at the start of the Chapter, one of which will come with Emblem Roy. Once you finish the battle, you’ll unlock a second, Emblem Leif. Back in the Somniel, you’ll be able to start fishing.

Chapter 9¶

Not much in the way of unlocks, but there is an optional character that is missable. To recruit Jade, you must reach her with Alear and speak to her, obviously keeping her from harm during the process.

Chapter 10¶

Chapter 10 is a major one for the story with many implications, but in terms of unlocks, there’s just a Master Seal you’ll obtain once you defeat Hyacinth. The other enemies in this map also have useful items so don’t miss any of them.

Chapter 11¶

A lot of twists and turns in the story here, and your first Elusia recruits will join here. Alongside them, you’ll obtain two new Emblems in Lucina and Lyn. Following the completion of this Chapter, you’ll also unlock a new Paralogue, this is the first of the Emblem Paralogues that will release their Bond Level cap. Back in the Somniel, you’ll open up the ability to play the Wyvern Riding mini-game.

Chapter 12¶

You’ll obtain the first batch of Solm recruits at the start of this chapter. If you manage to save all of the villagers on this map, you’ll get a bunch of items including another Master Seal after your leave the area. You’ll unlock another Emblem Paralogue following the battle, this one for Lyn.

Chapter 13¶

The next set of Solm recruits come with this Chapter, and you’ll obtain another new Emblem, Ike. Once you finish the battle, you’ll unlock Ike’s Paralogue mission which may be difficult based on your Level/Difficulty. Back in the Somniel, you’ll gain access to the Flea Market that will offer gifts for sale that you can use to boost your Support Points.

Chapter 14¶

You won’t recruit both Hortensia and Emblem Byleth until the battle is over. A lot of the Chests and enemies have useful drops on this map, such as a Wyrmslayer, Boots, Radiant Bow, and Hurricane Axe so be sure to grab them before finishing up. Once you complete the battle, you’ll unlock Byleth’s Paralogue.

Chapter 15¶

This Chapter features another recruit that you can miss, Seadall. To recruit him, make sure you speak with him using Alear, as an added bonus, you’ll also get Emblem Corrin. Beat the map with Seadall recruited and you’ll also unlock Corrin’s Paralogue.

Chapter 16¶

A nice Chapter where all of the unlocks come automatically, both Rosado and Goldmary join at the beginning, and you’ll find Emblem Eirika already equipped to Rosado. Once you finish the battle, Eirika’s Paralogue will also unlock.

Chapter 17¶

You’ll obtain some useful drops from this map, such as Bolganone and another Master Seal. Once the battle is over, you’ll reclaim both Emblem Sigurd and Leif, along with both of their Paralogues once you return to the World Map.

Chapter 18¶

A rather quiet Chapter with not many unlocks, but there is another one of those missable recruits here. You must speak with Lindon using Alear if you wish to enlist his services.

Chapter 19¶

This Chapter begins with another missable character, Saphir, that you’ll need to use Alear to speak with if you wish to recruit. Beyond that, you’ll reclaim both Emblem Roy and Micaiah, along with unlocking their Paralogues once you return to the World Map.

Chapter 20¶

This is a tough battle, but most of the items you can obtain within it are excellent, especially the Excalibur from Griss. Once the battle is over, you’ll reclaim Emblem Celica alongside unlocking her Paralogue when you return to the World Map.

Chapter 21¶

Just a single recruit, Mauvier, is your unlockable for this Chapter but once again, you’ll get some useful items as drops, including the Caladbolg that drops from Zephia.

Chapter 22¶

This is a major Chapter in the story, and you’ll score yourself the final recruit in the game, Veyle. You’ll also unlock the 13th Emblem alongside reclaiming the final missing one, Marth. Both of their Paralogues will unlock following the battle and if you complete The Connector, you’ll obtain a Pact Ring. With this, you can give it to a Support that you have an A-Rank with to obtain their relationship ending.

Chapters 23-26¶

There are no more unlocks for the rest of the game at this point, but most of the enemies and chests all contain fantastic items/weapons so make a habit of obtaining them all.
