Campaigns
The standard (retail or digital) versions of the game only allow you to play one campaign (Birthright or Conquest ). However if you desire a broader experience, you can purchase the other campaign as DLC for a discounted price.
To do so, you must choose the “Explore Paths” option, which is the bottom-left option in the main menu (before loading a save file). This same option also allows you to purchase the third campaign, Revelation.
| DLC | Price (Yen) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Birthright (Hoshido) | 2000 | Birthright campaign for Fire Emblem Fates Conquest or the digital version |
| Conquest (Nohr) | 2000 | Conquest campaign for Fire Emblem Fates Birthright or the digital version |
| Revelation (3rd route) | 2000 | Third campaign for Fire Emblem Fates Conquest/Birthright or the digital version |
Once you own more than one campaign, during the “Branch of Fate” in Chapter 6, you will be able to select which campaign you wish to play, from the ones you own.
(Having experienced the “Branch of Fate” at least once, you can skip ahead to the “Branch of Fate” at any time, by selecting the option directly above “Explore Paths” in the main menu.)
Bonuses: Those who own multiple campaigns can receive item presents by interacting with the Crystal Ball in My Castle and going to the “Bonuses” option (2nd column, 3rd row).
Of note, you can redeem two Dread Scrolls (for the Dread Fighter class) when you own two or more campaigns and two Ebon Wings (for the Dark Falcon class) when you own three campaigns.
Maps
Besides full-length campaigns, you can enjoy bite-size maps similar to Awakening’s DLC maps.
Gotta love the Elibe reference!
When they are available, you can access them via the “Dragon’s Gate” on the world map (available upon completion of Chapter 6).
To play your maps, pick the first option “Play DLC”.
If you want to purchase maps, pick the second option “Purchase DLC” and then the top option “Purchase DLC”.

Characters
Like the previous game, Awakening, Fates features downloadable guest characters, although the method to obtain them is slightly different.
Included within special packs of the Fire Emblem Cipher TCG are exclusive download codes for characters based on their TCG artwork.
| Product | Price (Yen) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| “Shadow Dragon Chapter” Starter Deck | 1404 | 50 preset cards, DLC: Marth, Prince of Altea |
| “Awakening Chapter” Starter Deck | 1404 | 50 preset cards, DLC: Lucina, the Swordsman who claims to be Marth |
| “Blade of Heroes” Booster Box | 6048 | 16 booster packs (10 random cards each), Fire Emblem if Promo card, DLC: Pegasus Knight Minerva |
To redeem these codes, you must navigate to the “Dragon’s Gate” on the world map (it will always be the second option, below the current chapter) and select the second option “Purchase DLC”.
Next, select the bottom option, “Input Download Code”. If successful, return to the previous menu and select the first option “Play DLC” and then select the character you wish to recruit.
(Different versions of Marth and Lucina, as well as Robin and Ike, can be unlocked by scanning their Amiibo.)
