You can't get DLC characters without actually owning the DLC.

Ohh :/

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Was kinda hoping they were in the games files

 

[supermariorick]

All right, since there aren't any clear tutorials, is basically what DeathChaos said:

1 - Install NTR CFW 3.3
2 - Choose the folder of the game (FE fates usa) and extract both folders (plugin, castle) on the root of the SD card
3 - Run NTR CFW
4 - And finally, play the game, make sure that you get a "Green screen" before starting the game.

Now, this may fail or not, so you'd want to try it several times until you get it working, you don't have to access "Amiibo" in order to activate it, the units will appear as soon as you enter "My Castle", take advice that these units (Marth, Ike, Lucina, Robin, Anna and that other DLC character) will join you automatically, but you don't get to fight them, a little bit of a bummer, but beggars can't be choosers, they also don't come with their weapons, so no Falchion or Ragnell in here, unless you use a certain cheat program to get them, or you get lucky in that dlc mission (And i'm not sure if those weapons appear in that chapter either...)

Last note, you also have to make sure you are in Ch.16 or beyond, if the "Patched" version doesn't work with you, try to use the original plugin instead.

i am on chapter 27 of invisible kingdom - buried madness. the map before the final battle with invisible dragon Hydra/(Anankos in the US version) and I can't get this working. I already have all the recruitable characters from the main story.

Damn, I actually only wanted their weapons and the battle, I couldnt care less about the units themselves. Sucks to be me I guess, since amiibos are very expensive and constantly out of order in my nearest electronics shop.

 

[yoshimashi]

Can someone link me to NTR 3.3? Last week or so I found NTR 3.3 but i had to wipe my SD card and start everything from scratch and now I can't find it. I used to have the autoboot NTR 3.3.cia

Couple of questions:

1. RainThunder, does your version also require being in chapter 16+?
2. Would it be possible to add Scarlet as well, or make it so her unit doesn't get removed? (3rd route)

Thank you both for all you're doing!

edit: I guess also, Izana and Yukimura while on 3rd route? Though I honestly don't give a crap about either character, lol. But hey, want a complete file!

1. No. You can get amiibo characters right after completing chapter 6.
2. It's possible to add Scarlet, but it doesn't work in Revelation.

I would also love to get scarlet izana and yukimaru

If possible can u make it so we can get scarlet izana yukimaru and possibly: cipher and Minerva dlc?

Here is the new version: https://mega.nz/#!DNs0VJbQ!qHvAdDX_tSASR5Dw5l8C8zPXiYBdt4WjipIa5DyyDQg

What's new:

• Added Anna and tons of capturable unit.
• Scarlet, Izana, Yukimura, Fuga is available in all routes (Scarlet can't join you via castle in Revelation).
• Building requirement was removed.

Only 6 units can join at a time, so you have to do one battle to recruit the next batch of unit.

Thank you RainThunder, you're the best! (*'-')b

Any suggestions on alternative methods for hacking Scarlet in? I was thinking of just doing the method others have been doing for Anna - edit an einherjar character's character ID, then strip the green shield icon. (Alternatively, I thought of just backing up her character block, then reinserting it back in, but that's probably a bit excessive?) Is there any reason why that wouldn't work? (Like there being any kind of anti-measures in the game? Seeing as *something* is blocking your castle method.)

Thanks again! Love your work!

It's possible that just backing up and pasting in her character block would wipe your My Castle/convoy, since that's happened to a few people who've changed character block lengths. I'd recommend either the Einherjar method with a random captured character or buying a logbook Scarlet via Einherjar shop and just removing the shield once she dies.

Alright I updated the OP with all this information! I will continue to update with further developments. An obvious major shoutout to @DeathChaos25 and @RainThunder for not only making this possible, but being major contributors to the topic! Thanks!!

Note to mod (if they see this): This thread was once created as a question but I now feel it would be more appropriate to replace the title with "[FE Fates] Unlocking amiibo units and more through NTR" as it now serves as a hub of information on the topic. Thanks.

 

[julianuf]

Another question: Is there any way to legitimately delete these characters? (casual, so can't just send them to their deaths...)

Also to contribute, I went ahead and edited my save to hack in the 4 weapons for the amiibo characters.

Here's some instructions:

1. Get the modified Fire Emblem Save Tool (modified by RainThunder to work on Fates, see here: https://github.com/RainThunder/FEST/releases )
2. Extract your save by tool of choice.
3. BACK UP!
4. Unpack the save with the FEST (drag ChapterX file onto the save tool to create the ChapterX_dec file)
5. Open the decrypted save file in your hex editor of choice (HxD is pretty popular.)
6. Locate the character block for each of the 4 amiibo characters, and edit their inventory.
7. Encrypt your save, and import it to your 3ds. (Drag the ChapterX_dec file onto the save tool to create a new encrypted ChapterX file.)

To complete step 6, take a look at this image:

The two bytes in black are the character and class bytes. The five inventory slots are the blue bytes.

An easy way to identify the first byte of the inventory is to look about 5~6 lines down below the character/class bytes for the pair of two single FF bytes (FF FF, surrounded by 00's all around). The first byte of the inventory is directly below it. (Look at the picture until it makes sense!)

To find a character block, we're going to search for the Character and Class bytes. (search for the hex below)

Marth: 00 FA 00 7C
Falchion: 53 01 00 40

Ike: 00 FB 00 7D
Ragnell: 54 01 00 40

Lucina: 00 FC 00 7E
Parallel Falchion: 55 01 00 40

Robin: 00 FD 00 7F
Thoron: 56 01 00 40

Then, following the instructions to find the first inventory block, type in the hex over the zero's. (Make sure to enter it on the HEX side)

For example, here is Ike's block from my save:

The black is the character and class ID's we search for, the green is the double FF we look for a couple of lines down, and the blue is the code for Ragnell.

(To those who may be interested, the 40 in the items means the item is equipped. Also, these instructions are for setting these as the first item in their inventory. I suggest cleaning out their inventories before exporting your save, for simplicity's sake. Otherwise, you'll have to modify these directions a little bit.)

And most importantly of all - BACK UP YOUR SAVE BEFORE DOING THIS IN CASE YOU SCREW UP!

Enjoy! And thank you again RainThunder, you're my hero. <3 Also huge shout out to KuroKairaku for figuring out and sharing a ton of this info.

Wow! This is really great. Now we can give the amiibo their respective weapons. The convoy editor just added them in, and none of the amiibo could equip them. Thanks for this contribution, adding it to the OP!

 

[foreveryang]

wait is that new version by RainThunder for HANS??

nvm lol i had a brain fart

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i didn't get the captured bosses? am i supposed to do a challenge/battle first?

 

[Ealcmhar]

I've updated NTR CFW to v3.3, tried extracting the plugin/castle folders provided in every archive file linked in the thread to the root directory, and completed challenge battles just to see if the amiibo characters would show up in my roster, which they didn't.

Is there any way at all to get this to work for the JP Special Edition?

 

[SkittleDash]

I;m getting everyone except Marth, Ike, Lucina and Robin. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[alexlee01]

Does this also work on Birthright or Conquest?

 

[YyAoMmIi]

Does this also work on Birthright or Conquest?

No.

 

[Sonansune]
