Three house games

Byleth and the students agree to help defend Abyss. Aelfric, the Church's liaison to Abyss, arrives and warns Byleth that factions within the Church would like to see Abyss purged.

He also theorizes that the mercenaries are looking for the Chalice of Beginnings, the primary component of the Rite of Rising. The Ashen Wolves decide to look for the Chalice on their own and manage to obtain it, but Aelfric is captured by the mercenaries and held ransom for the Chalice.

Rhea agrees to allow the Ashen Wolves to trade the Chalice for Aelfric, concluding nobody knows how to recreate the Rite of Rising. The Ashen Wolves also privately admit to Byleth that they are the descendants of the Four Apostles, ordered by the Church to keep their identities secret. Byleth and the Ashen Wolves head out to rescue Aelfric, but it is revealed he is the mastermind behind the attacks on Abyss, kidnapping the Ashen Wolves escaping with the Chalice.

Rhea then arrives and warns Byleth that Aelfric intends to sacrifice the Ashen Wolves to activate the Chalice and revive Byleth's mother, Sitri. Byleth manages rescue the Ashen Wolves but Aelfric continues with the ritual regardless, mutating into an Umbral Beast as a result; forcing Byleth and the Ashen Wolves to slay him. In recognition of their deeds, Rhea disbands the Ashen Wolves and allows them to return to the surface world.

They all decide to go their separate ways while promising to return to help each other and Byleth if needed. Byleth reunites with their students and learns that Rhea has gone missing and the Church has lost much of its strength. First, they retake Garreg Mach and use it as a base to launch attacks against the Empire. The Church receives assistance from Claude and learns that Rhea has been captured by the Empire. Dimitri takes the opportunity to attack the Empire as well.

As the Church builds up its forces, the Empire, Kingdom, and Alliance engage in a three way battle, with all sides suffering heavy casualties. Dimitri is apparently killed and Claude goes missing. Byleth and their students attempt to capitalize on the moment to seize a strategic fort, but it is destroyed by a rain of missiles, forcing them to withdraw. Byleth changes tactics, and instead infiltrates troops into the Empire capital. Byleth defeats and executes Edelgard, and rescues Rhea.

They then learn of the threat from "those who slither in the dark" from a posthumous letter written by Hubert. Byleth and their forces head to the main base of "those that slither in the dark", where they learn that they are the remnants of the nation of Agartha , a technologically advanced civilization that was wiped out by Seiros' kindred in ancient times. Defeated, the Agarthan leader Thales calls down numerous javelins of light to destroy his own base.

Rhea turns into her dragon form to protect Byleth and the others but is gravely wounded. After conquering Shambhala , Rhea reveals that Byleth's mother was her twelfth failed attempt to create a vessel capable of housing Sothis ' consciousness; she conceived Byleth with Jeralt, but was forced to order Rhea to transfer the Crest Stone in her heart into Byleth to save them after they were stillborn.

Rhea is suddenly driven mad by the power she used saving Byleth at Shambhala, and Byleth is forced to defeat her in a final battle. Byleth reunites with their students and Edelgard, and finds out that the Kingdom has allied with the Church while the Alliance remains nominally neutral. Edelgard plans to eliminate the Alliance before moving on to the Kingdom.

Byleth is able to quickly seize the Alliance capital and eliminate Claude from the war, either through killing or exiling him. They then advance into the Kingdom, taking a vital fortress. However, Edelgard's uncle Arundel , an ally of "those who slither in the dark", arranges for the fortress to be destroyed as revenge for Edelgard interrupting his own plans. Edelgard keeps Arundel's treachery a secret and tells the others that the fortress was destroyed by Church weaponry.

Undeterred, Edelgard continues to lead her armies to the Kingdom's capital. Dimitri meets Edelgard in battle, but is defeated and killed. The Kingdom army is routed and Rhea withdraws to the Kingdom capital with her Knights. In her increasing madness, Rhea sets fire to the city, forcing Edelgard to attack to put a stop to her. Working together, Byleth and Edelgard are able to kill Rhea. Byleth nearly dies, but Sothis's Crest Stone embedded in their heart dissolves, reviving them.

She then turns her attention to "those who slither in the dark". Byleth reunites with Dimitri, who has been ousted from the Kingdom due to a coup from pro-Empire nobles. In the time since, Dimitri has become bitter, disillusioned, and dangerously unstable as he is haunted by visions of his deceased family and driven to get revenge on Edelgard at any cost.

Byleth's students and the remnants of the Church ally with Dimitri and they decide to use Garreg Mach as their base to attack the Empire. Dimitri eventually forces a massive battle between his own army, the Empire, and the Alliance, resulting in heavy losses on all sides. One of Dimitri's trusted vassals sacrifices himself to protect him from an assassin, which in combination with Byleth's guidance causes Dimitri to abandon his desire for revenge.

With his own lands secure, Dimitri rescues Claude from imperial forces. Dimitri then marches for the Empire capital itself.

Wanting to make peace with Edelgard, Dimitri arranges a meeting with her and suggest they join forces to realize their goals. Edelgard refuses, however, forcing his invasion into Adrestia. Dimitri is able to defeat Edelgard and once again offers her mercy, but is forced to kill her when she attempts to attack him. Byleth reunites with Claude, who has been waiting for their return. They then occupy Garreg Mach and rally their students and the remnants of the Church to stand against the Empire.

Gathering additional allies and support, Byleth and Claude directly invade the Empire. However, as they confront Edelgard and her forces, a Kingdom army led by Dimitri also arrives, resulting in a massive battle. Edelgard is forced to retreat while Dimitri is killed attempting to pursue her. Byleth and Claude press on towards a strategic Empire fort, and receive aid from the foreign nation of Almyra.
