Appearance(s)

Three Houses

The Garreg Mach Monastery (pronounced /⁠ˌgɛɹɛg ˈmɑk⁠/[key], Japanese: ガルグ=マク大修道院 Garreg Mach Monastery) is a large structure situated in the mountain range at the center of Fódlan. It houses a cathedral dedicated to the Church of Seiros and facilities for the Officers Academy. At the Officers Academy there are three houses, the Black Eagles, Blue Lions, and Golden Deer. Students from Adrestia, Faerghus, and Leicester attend the academy.

History

Prior to the games' events

Garreg Mach Monastery was established on the 25th of Ethereal Moon in the year 185. In celebration of the monastery's completion, Saint Seiros held a ritual in an attempt to resurrect Sothis. This ritual would be known as the "Rite of Rising", and would involve the Four Apostles filling their blood—and thus their crests—into the Chalice of Beginnings. The ritual failed, and the four apostles left the monastery.

The monastery would then become the base of the Chentral Church and Fódlan's primary religious institution. Politically, it is neutral territory in the centre of Fódlan. Somewhere around 980, following an invasion by the forces of Almyra, the officer's academy would be founded at Garreg Mach Monastery in an effort to train Fódlan's youth to resist future invasions.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Academy Phase

In the year 1180, when Fire Emblem: Three Houses takes place, it is the residence of archbishop Rhea. Byleth and Jeralt are brought to the monastery after they are found by Alois and Byleth is offered a teaching position at the officer's academy. During Chapter 4, the monastery is raided by soldiers of the Western Church, who Byleth and their class are encountered by at the Holy Mausoleum. After the battle, their leader finds the Sword of the Creator in the coffin dedicated to Saint Seiros. After his defeat, Byleth is given the sword.

Two months later, during Chapter 6, Flayn is kidnapped. While searching for her, Byleth and their class find a hidden passage in Jeritza's room that reveals an underground room complex. There, they find the Death Knight as well as Flayn and Monica. They manage to drive off the Death Knight, but due to those events, Seteth considers leaving the monastery as he no longer thinks it is safe for him and his sister to stay there. Flayn and Byleth convince him that the knights and professors at the monastery are the safest environment for the two, and Flayn joins Byleth's class. For a short time, life at the monastery returns to normal, with the traditional Battle of the Eagle and Lion and the White Heron Cup alongside as well as a big ball being held as usual.

During an attack by Demonic Beasts on the monastery, Monica kills Jeralt from behind. When giving chase to his murderer, Byleth is seperated from their class as Solon sends them off to Zahras. To escape, Sothis grants Byleth her power, changing their hair and eye colour and returning the true power of the Sword of the Creator in the process. Because of this, Rhea wishes for Byleth to sit on Sothis's throne at the Holy Mausoleum to receive a revelation from the goddess.

As they try to hold ceremony, Rhea, Byleth, and their class are attacked by the imperial army led by the Flame Emperor and Metodey who attempt to steal as many Crest stones as possible from the Holy Mausoleum. Their attempt fails, but during the battle (or if the Black Eagles were chosen, before the battle), the Flame Emperor's identity is revealed to be Edelgard. As her identity is no longer a secret, she now openly declares war on the Church of Seiros and leads an attack on the monastery in the following month. Her attack succeeds, and the monastery is taken over by the Adrestian Empire.

Silver Snow

Five years later, the Black Eagles students meet at the monastery due to a promise they made to Byleth. Byleth, who only just awakened after five years of unconsciousness, runs into Edelgard first. Edelgard attempts to persuade Byleth to join her cause once again, but they refuse. They briefly fight each other before Edelgard leaves to return to the Empire. Seteth, who returned to the monastery along with the Knights of Seiros after they failed to find Rhea, finds Byleth at the monastery. Together, they decide to fight back against the bandits who have been using the monastery as a hideout. During the battle, the remaining Black Eagles students – with the exception of Hubert – also arrive and assist them in driving back the bandits.

Led by Randolph, the imperial army attempts to take back the monastery, but when their attempt fails and Randolph dies, they are forced to give up the monastery. In the following months, the monastery becomes the newly founded Resistance army's base of operations and the students make an attempt to do some repair work at the monastery.

After the war with the empire has ended and Those who slither in the dark are defeated, Rhea can no longer control her anger and transforms into the Immaculate One. The monastery becomes the battlefield for the fight against her and the cardinals of the Church of Seiros who have accepted blood from Rhea. After she is defeated, she lands at the cathedral and transforms back into her human form.

Azure Moon

Like the Black Eagles in their route, the Blue Lions students meet at the monastery due to a promise they made to Byleth. Byleth, who only just awakened after five years of unconsciousness, meets Dimitri at the monastery. Dimitri, now posessed by his hatred, immediately decides to hunt down the Bandits who have used the mastery as a hideout. Byleth accompanies him. During the battle, the remaining Blue Lions students – with the exception of Dedue – also arrive and assist them in driving back the bandits.

Led by Randolph, the imperial army attempts to take back the monastery, but when their attempt fails and Randolph is killed by Byleth, they are forced to give up the monastery. In the following months, the monastery becomes the Kingdom army's new base of operations and the students make an attempt to do some repair work at the monastery.

Verdant Wind

Like the other two houses, the Golden Deer students meet at the monastery due to a promise they made to Byleth. Byleth, who only just awakened after five years of unconsciousness, meets Claude at the monastery. Claude then decides to pass the time by hunting down the bandits who have been using the monastery as a hideout for the past five years. During the following battle, the remaining Golden Deer students arrive at the monastery and help Claude and Byleth to defeat Pallardó and his men. After the battle, the Knights of Seiros also arrive at the monastery after searching for the missing Archbishop Rhea for the past five years. Together, the Alliance army and the Knights of Seiros decide to resist against the monastery under the banner of a new resistance army, and choose to use the monastery as their base of operations due to it being neutral ground while the Leicester Alliance is split between those who support the Empire and those who want to resist against it.

Led by Randolph, the imperial army attempts to take back the monastery, but when their attempt fails and Randolph dies, they are forced to give up the monastery. In the following months, the monastery remains the Resistance army's base of operations and the students make an attempt to do some repair work at the monastery.

Crimson Flower

Unlike in the other routes, in the Crimson Flower route, the Imperial army does not abandon Garreg Mach Monastery. Instead, Edelgard and her former classmates – who are now united under the banner of the Black Eagle Strike Force – are at the monastery when Byleth – who had gone missing during the initial attack on the monastery five years prior – reappears. Following Byleth's reappearance, the Adrestian Empire makes progress towards the Leicester Alliance, but while they are busy with subduing the Alliance, the Church of Seiros – who have fled to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus – is preparing an attack on the monastery. Byleth, Edelgard, and their army return to the monastery in time, but they now have to defend it against a force led by Seteth. In the following battle, depending on player actions, Seteth and Flayn are either killed or forced to retreat and go into hiding. While Byleth and their army are fighting Seteth's forces, the rest of the Imperial army is defending the monastery against a force led by Rhea and Catherine. This force is also driven back, but notable commanders, including Randolph and Ladislava, fall in battle. The monastery remains in the posession of the Imperial army for the remainder of the route.

Cindered Shadows

In the Cindered Shadows side story, it is revealed that a secret underground city exists below the monastery. This city, known as Abyss, is a refuge for those who have been shunned on the surface and is also home to an unofficial fourth house, known as the Ashen Wolves house. Byleth and their students decide to help the Ashen Wolves to defend against those who seek to destroy Abyss, and end up finding the Chalice of Beginnings hidden beneath the monastery. After they escape from its guardians, they find that Aelfric—the cardinal who has been responsible for Abyss—has been abducted. Byleth, the Ashen Wolves, and the remaining students attempt to rescue him, but after they defeat the bandits, Yuri steals the chalice from Byleth. Aelfric then reveals that he wishes to obtain the chalice as well as the blood of the Four Apostles to perform a ritual. He attempts to perform the ritual at the Holy Tomb, but it fails and he transforms into an Umbral Beast. Byleth and their students end up fighting the Umbral Beast at the cathedral, and after they succeed in taking it down, the Ashen Wolves house is officially disbanded by Rhea. However, she decides to keep Abyss as a refuge for those in need.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes

Similar to Fire Emblem: Three Houses, in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Shez, the game's protagonist, is taken to the monastery after they assisted Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude to defend themselves against Kostas and his bandits. Shez is then allowed to join one of the three houses as a student, with Jeritza becoming their new professor. However, due to the ongoing conflicts in all three nations of Fódlan, Rhea decides to close the Officer's Academy, allowing the students to return to their homes.

Scarlet Blaze

Two years later, Edelgard declares war on the Church of Seiros. The first step in this war is an attack on the monastery. The attack succeeds, and Rhea, Seteth, Flayn, and the Knights of Seiros are forced to abandon the monastery and escape to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. Garreg Mach Monastery then becomes the new residence for Count Varley, the bishop of the newly restored Southern Church. The monastery remains in the posession of the Imperial army for the rest of the war, and is sometimes used as a base for its military forces. However, the Central Church launches multiple attempts to retake the monastery. During the final chapter, the monastery is besieged by both the Central Church's forces and Those who slither in the dark, and the Imperial army has to fight against both armies at once to maintain their control over the monastery. It is possible for Count Varley to die during this battle, but if this happens, Hubert simply installs a new bishop in his place. At the end of the battle, Shez, Edelgard and their allies fight against both Rhea and Thales, and, at the end of this battle, claim victory over both. Rhea and Thales die as the bridge that connects the Cathedral to the rest of the monastery collapses beneath them. After this battle, the monastery remains under control of the Adrestian Empire.

Azure Gleam

Edelgard declares war on the Church of Seiros and attacks the monastery, forcing the Central Church to abandon it and escape to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. The Adrestian Empire then installs the bishop of the southern church, Count Varley, in Garreg Mach Monastery. The monastery remains in posession of the Adrestian Empire for most of the war until the Kingdom, the Church of Seiros, and the Leicester Alliance join forces against the Empire. In their final mission, they manage to kill Count Varley and Thales-who has seized control over the empire after Edelgard's defeat at Arianrhod-and take back the monastery.

Golden Wildfire

Due to houses Gloucester and Phlegethon's support, the Adrestian Empire marches toward Garreg Mach Monastery and seizes of it. After taking the monastery, they continue their conquest into the Leicester Alliance. The monastery remains in posession of the Adrestian Empire. After the Alliance and the Empire form a pact, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and the Central Church attempt to take back the monastery. The Alliance forces aid Edelgard and her forces to defend against the attackers, forcing both Dimitri and Rhea to retreat. Dimitri retreats to Fhirdiad, while Rhea attempts to make a last attempt to defeat the Alliance army at Tailtean Plains. The monastery remains under the control of the Adrestian Empire.

Mechanics

In Three Houses, Garreg Mach Monastery acts as the game's hub. It can be explored freely, similar to later locations like the Base Camp from Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes or the Somniel from Fire Emblem Engage. As game's structure is built around the monastery, it features many different mechanics.

Lessons

Main article: Lesson

Lessons take place on most Mondays. They allow the player to instruct their units in various different skills, including weapons, movement types, and authority. During Part I, lessons take place in the respective class's classroom, but during Part II, they will instead take place in the Cardinal's Room on the first floor of the monastery.

Exams

Main article: Class change/Nintendo Switch games § Fire Emblem: Three Houses

On Byleth's free days or on a mission day, they can send their unit to take a class exam. If a unit passes that exam, they will unlock a new class. Each unit can only take one exam per day, regardless of whether they succeeded or not.

Calendar

Main article: Calendar

The Calendar dictates life at the monastery. On certain days, special events – such as a character's birthday take place. On most Mondays, Byleth will be able to teach their students. On most Sundays, Byleth will have a free day and the player will be presented four choices:

  • Explore
  • Fight
  • Seminar
  • Rest

Choosing "Fight" will allow the player to attempt Auxiliary battles and paralogues, while "Rest" will slightly restore all students' motivation as well as 5 points of durability on the Sword of the Creator. The Mechanics of "Explore" and "Seminar" are covered on this page.

Exploring

Choosing the "Explore" option on a free day will allow the player to freely explore the monastery. Not all parts of the monastery are available to the player initially, but at the start of Part II, the player will be able to visit all areas in a single exploration session. Exploring allows the player to take quests, do Faculty Training or use one of the monastery's many facilities that are covered below.

Additionally, if Byleth has any support conversations available, they may run into that unit at the monastery. If they do so, they are given the ability to watch the conversation immediately. If the player chooses "No", they will not be able to watch that conversation during that exploration session, but the conversation can be watched like normal on any future date. The locations where a unit will request to have a support conversation are marked on the map with a blue speech bubble.

If Byleth has no Activity Points remaining and waits for ten minutes, the skybox will turn orange, representing a change of time. This does not have an impact on gameplay, and time will not progress any further.

Activity Points

Most activities at the monastery will consume Activity points. The player will start out each exploration session with their current maximum amount of Activity points, with no way to increase the amount mid-exploration. The amount of activity points the player has is determined by Byleth's Professor level. If Byleth's Professor level increases during an exploration session, their maximum activity points will increase, however, they will not gain any additional activity points for the current session.

The number of available activity points with each professor level is as listed below:

Available activity points
Professor level Activity points
E 1
E+ 2
D 3
D+ 4
C 5
C+ 6
B 7
B+ 8
A 9
A+ 10

The following faculties require activity points:

  • Faculty Training/Peer Training
  • Choir Practice
  • Share a Meal
  • Cooking Together
  • Tournaments

Bulletin Board

Bulletin Boards are found at different places at the monastery. They will inform the player about ongoing events or about new monastery features such as whether the Western and Eastern Merchants are unlocked. They also inform the player about available quests at the monastery.

Quests

Main article: List of quests in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Sometimes, NPCs at the monastery will make specific requests. Usually, quests include obtaining an item and giving it to a certain unit. Depending on the quest, the player will be rewarded with items, gold, or renown. The completion of certain quests is also required to unlock some monastery facilities.

Recruiting Characters

While exploring the monastery, it is possible to recruit characters from other houses as well as faculty members into Byleth's class. Not every character can be recruited at all times, as certain characters are restricted by route or only become available after a certain chapter. To recruit a character, Byleth has to ask them to join their house and fulfill that character's recruitment requirements:

  • Students from other houses require Byleth to be proficient in a specific skill level and meet a certain threshold in a specific stat.
  • Faculty members require Byleth to meet a specific level threshold. They also require the player to have advanced enough in the story to recruit them.
  • Anna can be recruited at any point in the game if the player owns the expansion pass.
  • The Ashen Wolves can be recruited after the player has completed a certain chapter of the Cindered Shadows side story.

Note that certain characters are unavailable on some routes (e.g. Edelgard cannot be recruited into the Blue Lion house). Additionally, with the exception of Anna, chracters can only be recruited at the monastery during Part I of the game.

Professor level

Main article: Professor level

Professor level is a mechanic at the monastery that determines the amount of gold the player gets at the start of each month, the amount of Activity points they get per free day, how often they can teach their students, and more. Professor experience is gained by using various monastery activities, such as Fishing or the Greenhouse.

Faculty at the Garreg Mach Monastery

Seminars and Faculty Training

Seminars are unlocked in Chapter 2 as an option for free days. Opting to participate in a seminar allows three to six recruited characters to receive training in two specific skills from a member of the church faculty. The six units that participate in the seminar are selected automatically based on their skill goals, and Byleth is always one of the units if they are not hosting the seminar. Every character who attends a seminar receives 50 motivation.

Faculty Training becomes available in Chapter 3 after clearing the quest Learning from the Best as an option when exploring the Monastery. Undertaking Faculty Training allows Byleth to receive training in a select skill from any member of the church faculty; which skills are available depend on who is providing the training. A character can only provide faculty training once per free day. Byleth receives 20 points towards the selected skill, an additional 10 if they possess a boon in that skill, and an additional 2 if the relevant bonus from the saint statues has been unlocked. Receiving Faculty Training consumes one activity point.

Seminars and Faculty Training are unavailable in Chapter 12 if Byleth sided with Edelgard in Chapter 11.

In Part II, Faculty Training changes to the name "Advanced Drills", and a unit must have been recruited in order to host seminars or Advanced Drills; additionally, students become able to host seminars and Advanced Drills. Students function identically to faculty for seminars, but to drill Byleth in a skill, the student must have a higher level in that skill than Byleth.

Facilities and locations

amiibo Gazebo

The amiibo Gazebo at the monastery.

The amiibo Gazebo allows the player to utilize their amiibo. Scanning any amiibo once will cause a variety of items to spawn around the gazebo, which refresh every week. Scanning any Fire Emblem character amiibo will unlock an exclusive music track to play during auxiliary battles, detailed below. Additionally, this will unlock a unique area, the Holy Tomb, which can be accessed during New Game +. Rarer items will spawn there, also refreshing every week. If spoken to Sothis (or after Chapter 10, the opposing Byleth), Byleth will be granted the Sothis Shield, a team-wide Ward ability that can be used once per battle.

Cathedral

At the cathedral, the player can choose up to two of their units to participate in choir practice with. Doing so will consume an activity point, but will also increase both Byleth's and the students' faith level as well as Byleth's authority level. On certain days, such as Saint Cichol Day, the player will also be asked if they want to participate in choir practice. Doing so does not consume any resources, but the player will also be unable to choose which students they will participate in choir practice with.

Counselor

Main article: Garreg Mach Monastery/Counselor

Byleth can give advice to students that place anonymous notes in the advice box. They will be shown a page displaying a silhouette of the character who asked the question alongside a brief description of their problem. They will then be asked to pick one of three possible answers. After doing so, the character who asked the question will be revealed and, if the player picked the correct option, their support points with that student will increase.

Saint Statues

Main article: Renown § Three Houses 2

Dining Hall

Share A Meal

Byleth can invite two additional characters to have meals together. If possible, this increases the units' support with each other. Additionally, if the units are in the player's army, they will gain some motivation. Each free day, there is one daily special that can be used once. Unlike other meals, it does not consume ingredients from the player's inventory. However, when this is used, the support gain is halved. Either way, Share A Meal consumes an activity point.

Additionally, during certain weekends, the effects of a specific category of meals will be boosted. The following table shows which categories are boosted by which event. Which meals belong to which category can be seen in the list of dishes below:

Dining Hall Events
Event Boosted Category
Sweet-Tooth Week Sweets
Hunting Festival Meat
Harvest Festival Vegetables
Fish Bounty Festival Fish
Spice Festival Spicy
Bitter Eats Bitter

If a unit likes a meal, the support point gain is increased. Additionally, the student will gain more motivation. The following table shows how much motivation a student gains for liked, neutral, and disliked meals:

Normal Weekends Events

Meal Preference Motivation gained

Dining Hall Events

Occasionally, there will be special events at the dining hall which will be marked on the calendar. On these days, specific units specified in the event description will receive increased bonuses. For these events, the shared meal is set, and the player will not have to provide their own ingredients. The following table lists all events at the Dining Hall:

Cooking Together

Cooking Together is unlocked after completing the Creative Cuisines quest, available from Chapter 2. It allows the player to choose one other unit to cook a meal together. In Part I, that character does not have to be recruited into the player's army, though they have to be at the monastery at that time (e.g. Catherine will not be available during Chapter 10). In Part II, the character has to be recruited into the player's army. They will then be prompted to choose a dish to cook. Cooking Together consumes one activity point and can only be done once per free day.

Cooking Together will increase Byleth's support points with the other student, and will also provide a small stat boost for the rest of the chapter (including auxiliary battles), with the stat boost being determined by the chosen dish. The stat boosts can stack with each other. The player will also need to provide the ingredients themself. Ingredients can be obtained through monastery quests, auxiliary battles, gardening or fishing.

Some characters are better at cooking than others. Wether a character is good at cooking or not is shown through two arrows that either point up or down when selecting them. If the character Byleth is cooking with is good at cooking, the support points gained from cooking are doubled. If they are bad at cooking, the support points gained are halved. The stat gains from cooking are not affected by cooking prowess.

Dormitory

The dormitory is devided in two seperate floors. The dormitory does not house any faculty, but will allow the player to visit the individual students' rooms. Notably, Bernadetta's room will be locked for most of the game, only being open for specific chapters. Although Seteth claims that the second floor is reserved for the nobles, some nobles—such as Bernadetta or Lysithea have their room in the first floor. The northernmost room of the first floor is Byleth's room.

Byleth's Room

Every free day starts in Byleth's room.

Journal

Byleth's journal is available at their room. It grants the player access to a variety of features, though most of them are only available through New Game +.

Unit Appearance

The Unit Appearance submenu is the only one that is available to the player on a non-New Game + playthrough. It allows them to change the appearance of their units both at the monastery and on the battlefield. As of version 1.2.0, it can also be accessed by pressing the L button on the activity selection screen.

As part of the Expansion Pass, new costumes were added to the game. However, most of them are only available to Byleth and their students. Flayn and Cyril are treated as students for the purposes of choosing their outfits.

At the monastery, the following outfits are available:

In battle, the player can choose between two options: They may either use the unit's battle outfit – using an outfit based on the unit's class – or their monastery outfit, using whatever outfit they chose for that unit at the monastery. Mounted units do not allow the player to use the unit's monastery outfits.

The Commoner and Noble classes will always use a unit's monastery outfit.

New Game + features
See also: New Game + § Fire Emblem: Three Houses
The Support Level menu, accessed through Byleth's journal.

Through New Game +, the following options become available to the player:

Professor Level
This option allows the player to instantly raise Byleth's Professor level by spending renown. It can be increased up until the highest professor level that was achieved on the same New Game + file. Each level costs 500 renown to obtain, with the total price being determined by the difference between Byleth's current professor level and the level the player is purchasing.
Support Levels
This option allows to player to instantly increase Byleth's support levels with other units by spending renown. Since recruitment requirements vary based on support level, this allows the player to recruit units from other houses much faster. Each support level costs 400 renown to purchase ("+" supports do not cost extra). Support ranks can only be increased up until the highest rank that was achieved on the same New Game + file, though it is possible to obtain S supports that haven't been unlocked yet due to an oversight.
Notably, this is the only way to obtain multiple S support levels on one playthrough, and also the only way to make use of the benefits of an S support in battle as otherwise, S supports are only obtained after the final battle. However, it is only possible to buy S support levels with characters that can S support the current version of Byleth (e.g. male Byleth cannot buy an S support with Dimitri).
Support levels between other units cannot be bought in this way.
Skill Levels
This option allows the player to instantly increase the skill ranks of any unit in their current army by spending renown. It can be increased up until the highest skill level that was achieved on the same New Game + file. Each level costs 500 renown to obtain, with the total price being determined by the difference between the unit's current skill level and the level the player is purchasing.
Class Abilities
This option allows the player to purchase class abilities that were unlocked on a previous playthrough using the same New Game + file. The player can buy these abilities regardless of wether they would be able to certify for the corresponding class, so even if a unit's level or skill level is not sufficient, this option can grant them those classes' mastery abilities. The corresponding class will be marked as mastered.
Notably, this allows the player to transfer gender-exclusive skills such as Quick Riposte to a Byleth whose gender would otherwise prohibit them from obtaining those skills.
Crest Items
This option allows the player to purchase Crest items that allow them to use crest abilities a unit would not be able to use otherwise. However, the crest abilities are weaker than even a minor crest, with the exclusive combat arts from Heroes' Relics now costing 5 durability instead of 4 for a minor crest or 3 for a major one. Additionally, the crest's trigger rate is reduced, with the amount being dependent on the specific crest. A unit who bears the corresponding crest can also use the crest items to increase the odds of their crests activating during combat.
Depending on the route the player has finished last using that same New Game + file, certain crest items will be stored in their convoy automatically and do not have to be purchased again. The following table lists the crest items and which routes they are available on:
Crest items
Crest item Corresponding Crest Starting availability

The following DLC items can be picked up at Byleth's bed:

Sacred Items Set
If the player has purchased the Season Pass, they will have access to the following items. They can be picked up at any time, though they can only be picked up once per playthrough (New Game + counts as a new playthrough) and only as a set.

Cindered Shadows Reward
Additionally, the Cindered Shadows Reward can be obtained by completing Chapter 7 of the Cindered Shadows side story. Like the Sacred Items set, it can only be obtained only once, at any point in a playthrough. It can be collected seperately from the Sacred Items Set, though like the Sacred Items Set, the contents are not obtainable seperately.

Fishing Spot

At the Fishing Spot, the player can use their bait to fish. The Fishing Spot becomes available upon completing the Fresh Catch quest in Chapter 1 or by reaching Part II.

Unlike most other monastery activities, fishing does not consume any activity points. However, fishing requires bait, which can be found randomly around the monastery, through quests, or at the Eastern Merchant at the marketplace. By using baits of higher quality, the player can catch rarer fish.

Baits
Bait Rating Notes
Insect Larva Cost: 10 G
Pond Snail ★★ Cost: 20 G
Earthworm ★★★ Cost: 30 G
Blowfly ★★★★ Cost: 40 G
Herring Bait ★★★★★ Cost: 50 G
Tournament Bait ★★★ Exclusively used during the fishing tournament.
Flayn's Bait Exclusively used during the Fresh Catch quest.

After selecting a bait, the player will have to wait for a fish to bite. If a fish bites, the player will be prompted to press the A button to pull the fish. At the same time, a silhouette will be displayed. The colour of this silhouette corresponds to the rarity of the catch. If the player fails to press the A button within a certain time limit, the fish will slip away. Two times per bait, they will be given another chance with another fish. The rarity of this fish is independent from the previous ones, and therefore can be higher, lower, or the same.

On certain weekends, special events will occur. These events will be marked on the calendar. During certain fishing events, the rarity of certain fish will change.

If the player presses the A button, Byleth will attempt to pull the fish in. To do so, the player must complete a minigame where they have to press the A button at the correct time in a rhytm-style minigame. In this minigame, circles will appear and the player has to press the button when the circle fits exactly within a specific area. If the player manages to press the button at the right time, they will be given a rating of "Excellent!".

With each button press, both Byleth's and the fish's stamina – which is displayed at the bottom of the screen – will decrease. An Excellent rating will both decrease the stamina cost for Byleth and increase the stamina cost for the fish. If the fish's stamina runs out before Byleth's, the minigame is won and the fish will be caught, rewarding the player with a fish and some professor experience. If Byleth's stamina runs out before the fish's, the bait will be lost and Byleth will be rewarded a smaller amount of professor experience. Byleth's stamina increases with their Professor level.

The reward for fishing depends on three factors:

  • The bait used
  • The fish silhouette
  • Wether the player receives a "perfect" or not

Possible Rewards

The rewards the player obtains are based on both the fish silhouette they caught and the bait they used. Each bait and silhouette combination has its own set of three possible rewards, with the reward the player obtains being determined randomly. Better rewards can be obtained by using bait of higher quality and by obtaining a Perfect rating.[1]

Greenhouse

The greenhouse allows the player to plant their seed-type items in one exploration session and then obtain new items the next time they explore the monastery. This can include stat boosters, gifts, and new seeds. Using the greenhouse does not consume activity points, but the greenhouse can only be used once per free day.

The player can only plant a limited amount of seeds per free day, with the specific amount being determined by their professor level:

Available seeds
Professor level Available seeds
E, E+ 1
D, D+ 2
C, C+ 3
B, B+ 4
A, A+ 5

They may also choose to cultivate their seeds by spending some gold in exchange for better rewards. The available cultivation methods increase based on Byleth's professor level. More expensive cultivation methods may yield better rewards.

Available seeds
Professor level Cultivation Method Price
E Infuse with magic Free
E+ Airmid water 300G
D Prune 500G
C Scatter Bonemeal 1,000G
B Caledonian soil 1,500G
A Pegasus Blessings 2,000G

The game will display a predicted quality of the yield by displaying one to three stalks, with more stalks meaning better quality. Predicted yield does not affect the amount of the rewards, but it does affect the types of items the player will be rewarded with. The game also assigns each yield a quality that can be either "good" or "bad", though this is not shown to the player.

The resulting items are determined by the quality of the yield and the seeds used. The following table lists the possible items for each sead and quality combination:
