It's been nearly a year since Fire Emblem: Three Houses graced our Switch screens, and many players likely still haven't run out of content. The game brought new life to the 30-year-old Fire Emblem franchise, revamping the battle system with battalions and a new class type, and allowing more control over your units than ever with lectures and monastery activities.

With all this extra content and essentially three games worth of plot, of course there are a few hidden features and sneaky easter eggs that we missed upon the way. Let's take a look at some of the secrets that may have you booting up your copy of Three Houses once again. Spoilers ahead for those who want to discover hidden content for themselves!

10 Anna's Secret Shop

Whether she's acting as a plucky vendor or a guiding hand through tutorials, Anna is certainly a familiar face in the Fire Emblem series. You can purchase items from her before each mission in Three Houses, but some players may have missed her secret shop within the monastery.

After the time skip, you're given greater access to Garreg Mach's marketplace. Hanging out amongst some guards is our pink-haired merchant, and if you speak with Anna you'll have the chance to complete a short quest for her. If you manage to find her and help her out, you'll be given access to a secret shop brimming with rare items, including rings and unlimited Master Seals.

9 Mercurius

If you're playing with an online connection active, occasionally you'll see a glowing tile that will reward you with XP or a random item when a unit steps on it. It won't take long for players to come across rusty weapons amongst these rewards, which may seem like a disappointing find at first.

But don't go throwing away those old weapons just yet. All of them can be reforged into normal equipment, but there's a chance you'll discover some that can be restored into some of the best weapons in the game. One of these is the sword Mercurius, a legendary weapon that has been appearing since the very first Fire Emblem.

8 Quickly Recruiting Sylvain

Sylvain is perhaps one of the best-designed male units in the game, but the most memorable thing about him is probably his flirtatious ways. Sylvain is notorious for his unrelenting attempts to charm women, and his skirt-chasing actually subtly impacts the gameplay.

When playing as male Byleth, if Sylvain isn't in your house you'll need to work on your Charm and Reason stats before you can recruit him, or at least build up his support rank. Things are much easier for female Byleth though - just speak to Sylvain in chapter 2 and he'll be happy to join you regardless of your stats. It seems not even the professor is safe from Sylvain's flirting!

7 Parthia

Mercurius isn't the only secret legendary weapon in Three Houses. Players can count themselves lucky if they find a rusted bow that can be reforged into Parthia, so long as they can afford to give 10 pieces of mythril and 2000G to the blacksmith.

In addition to spawning from the glowing tiles that appear during online connection, these rare rusted weapons can also drop during monster encounters. If players are unsure whether the old weapon they found is anything special, you can always press X while it's selected in the menu. Its description will specify if it can be transformed into a legendary weapon such as Parthia.

6 Secret Support Conversations

The support system has long been a beloved feature of the Fire Emblem series. Bonding your units improves their stats when working alongside each other in battle, making for some unstoppable pairs when used right.

Unless you've played through the game with the same characters a number of times, players will probably overlook certain changes that support ranks can cause. If the Black Eagles win the Battle of the Eagle and Lion, Dorothea will mention she feels left out wished to sneak off with someone to celebrate. Ferdinand will respond by inviting her to tea, and usually, Dorothea will decline. But, if they've already managed to reach B rank in their supports, Dorothea will accept his invitation. There's no telling how many tiny details like this are hidden in Three Houses.

5 Monastery Secret Room

The Garreg Mach Monastery might seem quite the sprawling structure, but it only takes a few hours of item fetching and support building for players to get used to its layout. You wouldn't expect there to be many hidden corners players have overlooked, but that's exactly the case for Amiibo owners.

In the monastery gardens lies the Amiibo Gazebo, where scanning any Fire Emblem Amiibo can net you certain rewards. In the NG+, scanning an Amiibo here also allows you to visit a secret room called the Holy Tomb. Sothis will be there to gift you the Sothis Shield, a spell that grants your entire team +7 to Resistance.

4 Gradivus

The lance amongst the legendary rusted weapons is Gradivus, a powerful weapon with a hit rate of 90%. Each of these legendary weapons requires a Professor rating of A+, which can take hours of fishing, gardening, and faculty training to achieve.

One of these rusted weapons exists for each non-magic weapon type. Players can restore a rusted axe for Hauteclere, which in previous games was the signature weapon of Princess Minerva of Macedon. Rusted gauntlets, a new weapon type introduced in Three Houses, can be reforged into Dragon Claws.

3 Hidden Story In Chapter Illustrations

At the beginning of each chapter, or in-game calendar month, the player is greeted with a unique illustration. These pictures often depict the weather or activities if the month, with flowers in spring and harvests in autumn, and lend the game a magical, storybook quality.

What players may miss is a rather complex story hidden in the details of these illustrations. The story follows the life of a deer and the hunter who orphaned it, including the hunter's eventual conscription into a war. Players should keep an eye on the background and details of these chapter images to learn the ending of this somber tale.

2 Edelgard's Two Paths

Even from its title, Three Houses is centered on the idea that the player must choose from three narrative paths. However, if you choose the Black Eagle route, depending on your actions pre-time skip you may be presented with a fourth path to follow.

The standard route leads you to side with the Church and go to war against Edelgard, but if you have at least a C+ support rank with her, you'll be given another choice.  If you speak to her during Chapter 11, you'll be given the option to go with her and witness her coronation, allowing you to oppose the Church with her for the rest of the game. This dramatically impacts the story and units available to you, so choose wisely!

1 Secret Credits Song

Whether you side with the Blue Lions, the Golden Deer, or the Church, the song 'The Edge of Dawn' plays during the ending credits. In all of these routes, Edelgard's ambitions and goals ultimately fail. The Japanese title 'Girl of Hresvelg' mentions Edelgard's surname, and this along with the lyrics suggests the song expresses Edelgard's sorrow from her perspective.

If you side with Edelgard, though, an otherwise hidden song called 'The Color of Sunrise' instead plays. This song has no lyrics and considering Edelgard's dreams are realized through this path it feels like a more uplifting note for Three Houses to end on.
