To recruit Nezha in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, players will need to acquire sandworm meat. This essential item can be found through hunting in a challenging desert region or purchased in a specific settlement.
Obtaining Sandworm Meat
There are two primary methods for acquiring sandworm meat. The most straightforward approach is to purchase it in the town of Kira, located in Saveilon, southwest of Aurora's Temple. Each piece costs 300 gold, and up to five pieces can be bought. However, this option may not be available depending on the player's chosen path through the game (Leda's path specifically limits access).
For players unable to access Kira, or those who prefer to hunt, sandworms can be found in the game world. These large creatures appear on certain nodes on the world map, and defeating one rewards the player with a single piece of sandworm meat. The desert area of Nysiades, west of Dagsion, is identified as the prime location for encountering these enemies. Nodes containing sandworms are marked with a sandworm miniature icon.
Navigating the Nysiades desert presents its own challenges, including reduced movement spaces and a lack of posthouses for fast travel. A strategic approach involves focusing on nodes located west of the Kayen Stronghold to minimize travel and a return to regular paths. Players are also advised to check the borders of the desert for sandworm nodes, which are often quicker to reach.
Recruiting Nezha
Regardless of the method chosen, securing sandworm meat is crucial for recruiting Nezha. Players will need to present three pieces of this ingredient to convince him to join their party. Once obtained, this material serves as a key to expanding your roster and advancing through the game's narrative.
