While Fire Emblem: Three Houses has a lot of different side quests, perhaps the most important ones are Paralogues – unique character-based quests that can be undertaken to unlock some great bonuses including powerful battalions, hero relic gear and other useful items.
There are some things to consider and keep in mind about paralogues in Fire Emblem Three Houses – so let’s just quickly run down those:
- The key characters involved in a paralogue must be part of your house/combat party in order to undertake it. That means that in order to undertake certain paralogues you’ll need to recruit the character it’s about.
- This also means that some paralogue quests are house-specific, and aren’t available to other houses.
- Some paralogue quests are linked to two characters. In that instance, you’ll need to have access to both characters in order to undertake the quest.
- Paralogue missions are time-limited. Each paralogue quest in Three Houses will trigger at a certain point in the in-game calendar, and will also disappear at a certain point – this varies greatly. Essentially, you should make sure that you tackle missiosn as soon as you can.
- On this topic, Paralogues are split into pre-timeskip and post-timeskip. One or two carry over, but most pre-timeskip paralogues are not available after the timeskip.
- Paralogues use Battle Activity Points. This means uou can tackle a limited amount, so plan accordingly.
- Don’t forget the rewards – including Support Rank gains. Beating paralogue quests will usually net you some decent quality items, but also some powerful, exclusive items. On top of this, paralogue missions raise your support rank – so you may want to prioritize characters you want to reach S-Rank with, including romanceable characters.
