They've made it into the palace, but it's actually the perfect chance to turn the tables on them.
Edelgard
volume_up

Defeating them all will turn the tide of war instantly. Taking a risk on dragging us back from the brink is the only option.
Edelgard
volume_up

Everyone! Prepare for a bitter struggle! Victory to the Adrestian Empire!

Claude

There are more enemies inside the palace than I thought. It's gonna take a lot to bring this situation under control.
Claude

But, if we defeat Edelgard, then victory is ours! Everyone, let's go!

The throne room is tightly locked. But wherever there are locks, there are also keys.

Claude
volume_up

Our bashful little emperor has locked herself up behind the door of the throne room.
Claude
volume_up

The key should be around here somewhere. We need to find whoever's got it and take them out.

Dedue
volume_up

So close... Must press on...

Edelgard
volume_up

I must confess I never imagined that you would be able to pursue me this far.
Edelgard
volume_up

I don't mean to belittle your skills, Professor, but you've far surpassed my expectations.

We'll have to take out one of them if we're going to advance... Petra seems like the shortest route...

I wonder how Dedue's doing... I hope I get to see him again.

Claude
volume_up

We should be able to get through to the throne room now...

Claude
volume_up

This should give us a bit more freedom of movement. Now, how best to attack...
link
Seteth
volume_up

Block off the stairwells! Stop their reinforcements from getting through!
link
Claude
volume_up

Ah, it never ends... How many more reinforcements are they gonna launch at us?
Claude
volume_up

If we don't block up the stairwells, it's never going to stop!
link
Seteth
volume_up

Well done! Their reinforcements are cut off.
Edelgard
volume_up

Clever tactic. It's going to be difficult to turn the tables now.
link
Claude
volume_up

We did it! The enemy won't be able to send any more reinforcements now.
Edelgard
volume_up

Clever tactic. It's going to be difficult to turn the tables now.
link
Claude

Edelgard, give up! We don't want to kill you!
Edelgard
volume_up

But...I must kill you. If I don't, the righteous world I dream of will never see the light.
Edelgard
volume_up

Come at me with everything you have. For one of us, this is the end!

Attack: Byleth - Enemy Units

Edelgard
volume_up

Professor... I suppose you think you can defeat me. Is that right?
Edelgard
volume_up

But I will never give up. Even if my arms and legs failed me, I would still find a way to move forward.
Edelgard
volume_up

I will smash that false goddess and her minion into the ground! I will fight to free this world from her vile grasp!

Attack: Claude - Edelgard

Edelgard
volume_up

Your ideals, I understand they're not so far removed from my own.
Edelgard
volume_up

But without sufficient knowledge of this land's suffering, I can't entrust Fódlan to you!
Claude
volume_up

Perhaps. I daresay it's true that I don't fully understand the history of Fódlan.
Claude
volume_up

Still, I've seen many things in my life. Don't worry. I'll finish the job for you.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Edelgard

Seteth
volume_up

Edelgard! Return Rhea! Release your grip on Fódlan!
Edelgard
volume_up

If you strike me down, they will return. I cannot permit what you desire.
Edelgard
volume_up

You are a child of the goddess. You must not be allowed power over the people!
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Edelgard

Flayn
volume_up

Edelgard! Please! Release Rhea... Release Fódlan!
Edelgard
volume_up

If you strike me down, they will return. I cannot permit what you desire.
Edelgard
volume_up

You are a child of the goddess. You must not be allowed power over the people!

Attack: Enemy Units - Edelgard

Edelgard
volume_up

This has nothing to do with where you were born. That we are fighting now is only a result of the choices you've made.
Edelgard
volume_up

So I'm going to give that the response it deserves. I will crush you with everything I have!
link

Attack: Lysithea - Edelgard

Edelgard
volume_up

Lysithea. You and I are so alike. We could have walked the same path.
Lysithea
volume_up

We're alike? You don't mean to tell me... It can't be!
Edelgard
volume_up

Yet now, we are at a crossroads. There's no turning back. Must we fight each other for the things we believe in?
Lysithea
volume_up

That's exactly what's going to happen. And I will defeat you, Edelgard!
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Edelgard

Edelgard
volume_up

So you're another of the goddess's vanguard. You don't have even a shred of self-awareness, do you?
Edelgard
volume_up

Come at me, so that I may put you out of your misery!
link

Attack: Byleth - Petra

Petra
volume_up

Professor... I have been thinking. About why I came to Fódlan. To the Empire.
Petra
volume_up

I am here to be protecting Edelgard...and to be stopping you.
link

Attack: Byleth - Dorothea

Dorothea
volume_up

If it's our destiny to kill each other, then I cannot— will not—respect the goddess.
Dorothea
volume_up

My only request is that if you win, you'll at least have the decency to kill me quickly.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Petra

Petra
volume_up

I can't be letting you pass. I will defend, and I will be killing all of you.
Petra
volume_up

We must be...must clear the way forward. For every person!
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Dorothea

Dorothea
volume_up

Oh, that face brings back some memories. It's a shame we don't have time to catch up.
link

Talk: Enemy Units - Dedue

Dedue
volume_up

I cannot vanquish her alone.
Dedue
volume_up

So I will join you in this battle. But if I fall, leave me.
Dedue
volume_up

My only wish is for Edelgard's head.
link

Attack: Manuela - Dorothea

Dorothea
volume_up

Manuela? It's not like you to show up anywhere sober. What's the occasion?
Manuela
volume_up

I thought maybe we could talk. I could help you see the error of your ways.
Manuela
volume_up

Or we could just try to kill each other over what we believe in. You ready to do this?
Dorothea
volume_up

No... But let's get to it.
link

Attack: Shamir - Petra

Shamir
volume_up

I cannot bring myself to kill you... You're a princess of Brigid. A hostage of the Empire.
Petra
volume_up

That was the truth in the past, but it is a different truth now, Shamir...
Petra
volume_up

I am...the will of the emperor!
Shamir
volume_up

In that case, I won't hold back.
link

Attack: Constance - Edelgard

Constance
volume_up

What use are words? We are both set on our path.
Edelgard
volume_up

How predictable. But so be it. I will now show you my true power!
