When connected to the internet, players can purchase the paid downloadable content (DLC), which includes new maps and episodes. The DLC is not required to complete the game, but is geared towards players seeking a deeper game experience.
The DLC episodes can be accessed any time after completing Chapter 4, by venturing to a lone island to the far south of Ylisse, where the mysterious Outrealm Gate is located. Beyond this gate lies Anna–the gate’s keeper and the player’s connection to other-worldly adventures. The available commands in the Outrealm Gate are: Play a Map, Purchase Maps and Exit.
Each episode in the first series typically pits your trained units against the Einherjar–summoned characters from Fire Emblem history (in other words, legacy characters). Upon completion of an episode, you will usually obtain a legacy character with new artwork drawn by a guest artist and sometimes a DLC-exclusive item too.
In case you’re curious, the legacy characters you fight in the DLC episodes can all be obtained via SpotPass (although often with a different class and stats).
For commonly asked questions about DLC, please check the F.A.Q page!

Another Story: The Strongest One’s Name (series finale)Herein lies the castle of the strong. Heroes who have become too strong are said to eventually arrive at this castle in their search for worthy opponents. Difficulty: MAX |
This map pits you against five consecutive battles. Routing the enemy does not guarantee victory, but instead triggers the arrival of the next enemy force. The enemies here are the strongest you’ll face: powerful beyond limit. The path to victory against such overpowering foes will become clear to the ones who surpass even them. Your strongest soldiers and your ultimate stratagem–this map will require both. If the player survives all five wave of enemies, they will obtain the Lost Tactician Katarina’s Card, which allows them to recruit Katarina (art by Yusuke Kozaki–this game’s official artist). |
|
| Enemy data Battle map: New Map theme: Confront the Past (The Sacred Stones) Battle theme: The Battle Must Be Won (The Sacred Stones) Note: If you manage to defeat the first wave of enemies within 2 turns, you’ll be given the option to restart the map with an alternate set of stronger enemies. Triumph this new ordeal and you’ll obtain a Supreme Emblem instead of Katarina. |

Another Story: The Five AnnasFive Anna sisters are mining ore in a lava cave when they are surrounded by enemies and end up falling into a life-threatening predicament. Difficulty: 5 star |
This map requires you to protect five Annas separated from you by a distance. The Annas are weak and cannot withstand many enemy attacks. So you’ll need to plan well to prevent the Annas from being attacked by the enemy. However it won’t be easy, as the enemy has many flying units at their disposal and formidable reinforcements will appear over time. If all five Annas survive till the end, players will obtain the Middle Sister Catria’s Card, which allows them to recruit Catria (art by Shinnosuke Hino). |

Another Story: Harvest of BondsThe Outrealm is bustling as the annual harvest festival enters full swing. Chrom steps up to drive away a pack of Revenants who suddenly appeared to wreck the festival. Difficulty: 1 star |
| This map features a lot of conversations between same-gendered characters, ranging from conversations about the festival to things more unexpected.

Another Story: Border between Life and DeathDeep within an underground temple in the Outrealm, a foul sorcerer has created strange and twisted soldiers. Difficulty: 5 star |
This map is geared towards expert players, pitting them against a floor of dangerous tiles that reduce friendly and enemy units’ HP to 1 at the start of each turn. How do you fight when everyone is at 1 HP? Do you heal or do you pair up? In any case, it’s definitely not safe fighting at 1 HP all the time, especially when you’re up against “special” enemies. If Algol (the boss) is defeated within 10 turns, players will obtain the Little Sister Est’s Card, which allows them to recruit Est (art by Kinu Nishimura of Street Fighter fame). |
