Before Awakening is a free DLC map for Fire Emblem Fates. It features a crossover battle where the player teams up with Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick—main characters from Fire Emblem Awakening. The map becomes available early in the game and offers unique dialogue depending on whether you're playing Birthright, Conquest, or Revelation.
Completing the map rewards the player with a Breath of Life 1 skill scroll, which can be used to grant a healing aura ability to any unit.
