Side quests, aka «Paralogues,» have been a staple of the tactical role-playing series Fire Emblem for years. While the Paralogue name was not used until Fire Emblem Awakening, side quests showed up all the way back in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. Recent musou-style spinoff Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes was no slacker when it came to Paralogues, adding over a dozen new side quests throughout its three routes. However, some Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Paralogues are top tier, and others are doomed to be forgotten.
Paralogues appear in each of the game's three branching paths, and can only be accessed if the player has recruited all characters involved. They are optional, but typically provide valuable rewards such as battalions, weapons, or stat-increasing items. Paralogues are also used to showcase interactions between characters who might not otherwise get to bond due to the game's large playable cast. A few even reveal more about the lore and history of the land of Fodlan, the goddess Sothis and the Four Saints, and the activities of the villainous Those Who Slither in the Dark. Almost every playable character in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is given focus in at least one Paralogue, with some appearing in multiple.
