Turns out someone already uploaded a video showcasing his quotes when I did the recording of this. Oh, well, did all of that editing so may as well upload it anyway.
Ashnard sure is popular considering more than half of his conversation partners are people who can do absolutely nothing to him.
Man gotta love how the only way to learn Ashnard’s genuinely interesting motivations is to let him kill your dancer. What a well-designed villain
Reyson is a singer, not a dancer

Don't you love how Ashnard doesn't have conversation with his literal son
The best futureshadowing.
I doubt he would recognize him... Considering what kind of person he is.
What are you talking about? Pelleas isn't in this game. He's obviously Ashnard's son. Has good ol' honorable, trustworthy, kind hearted, truthful, reliable, intelligent, and generally swell Izuka ever steered you wrong before?

Glad I'm not the only one to see the obvious similarities.

I get the feeling that Ashnard originally wasn't meant to be invincible to anything that isn't Ragnell or dragon breath. Would certainly make quotes like Tauroneo make more sense.

Wow his quote with Reyson is amazing he should say that regardless of who fights him it really reveals something deeper about his character and intentions. He wasn't born to be a favored heir so his intentions are actually somewhat noble, he even speaks of equality between all (i.e. beorc and laguz) even if his methods are twisted that's a pretty awesome way of putting it.
Agreed. Even though there are hints about his philosophy here and there, I find it weird that the only way to flesh out his motives is to make a stupid mistake, i.e. letting him attack Reyson.
Ashnard is meant to be the extreme foil of Ike's idealogy. Ike to a certain extent also doesn't care about what station you are born into, whether you are a commoner or noble, laguz or beroc. Ashnard however, takes it to an extreme "only the fittest will survive" type of mentality.
Ike may not see people by what class they're born into, but Ike also chooses to let people live as they will. Ashnard wants to protect the weak by enslaving them. There is nothing noble about his intentions. He is like any other dictator that wants to surround himself with power and considers himself above everyone else. Furthermore, he will brutally murder anyone who steps in his way.
@@Henderson711 "Your birth determines your worth." vs "Your strength determines your worth." Ashnard's system may be terrible but at least it offers upwards social mobility, unlike the Beorc system (which will also brutally murder anyone who rebels against it). Hell, Ashnard is just trying to implement the Laguz system that Ike likes so much (but going to extreme lengths in order to implement it). Ashnard isn't competing against Ike's ideology, he's competing against the ideology of Beorc nobility and royalty. If Ike wins, it's the Begnion senators whose ideology is preserved, leaving Ike to merely complain about it. Also, while Ashnard considers himself above others due to his strength, he still believes that if someone is stronger than him that they're above him.
@@ElliotKeaton Yeah, even Sothe mentions this on one chapter. There was a hope during Ashnard's rule that poor people could raise in ranks by virtue of power; he gave that hope to everyone as he didn't care about nobility or titles. It was certainly beneficial to someone in extreme poverty.
Whose bright idea was it to not let Elincia be able to kill Ashnard?
I know, that bothers me to this day. 😭
Ashnard : Hey Elincia, Crimea river!
I hate that I luahged at that xD
I see what you did there!
Bruh
"Are you complaining? Come back some other time, i'm busy." Is so hilariously out of character that I think it hints to a lighter side of Ashnard, also because his first response wasn't to immediately kill Jill. His boss quote with Reyson fleshes him out so well though.....why with Reyson?
Reyson, being a Heron, can gain a certain sense about people. That and Reyson is Reyson, dude's tough for a Heron, and he was bold enough to ask the question of "why?" Honestly surprised Ashnard even bothered to explain it to him, though I think it's because Ashnard was going to honor his own principle; you can either die or submit to the strong. He offered that to Reyson.
He seemed so genuinely annoyed to be wasting time talking to a weakling lmao
Had to give Haar an Iron Axe so he didn't kill Ashnard in 1 blow I see.
I always wanted a prequel of Tellius, how Ashnard was raised, how and when did he turn mad, how did Greil and Zelgius react when they learned Ashnard's motives, Greil and Elena's time in Gallia, Elincia's dad and Renning being pioneers in diplomacy between beorc snd laguz with Caineghis, who were Elena's parents for her to be able to touch the medallion, when did Misaha send Micaiah to Daein to save her from the senate... A prequel has SO MUCH potential for a Fire Emblem game
Tauroneo's lines were probably my favorite
Honestly, I feel like the whole blessed armor thing was a last minute addition. Otherwise, why would they have all these quotes.
Exactly. I think they wanted to avoid players from slapping resolve on anyone and gutting Ashnard with a minor character, they wanted Ike, the kings, or a dragon to kill Ashnard. Imagine resolve, wrath, and a couple energy drops on ellincia hacking the shit out of ashnard.
Garrett Widner if only nihil was a thing
I think Ashnard was probably meant to have some stupid amount of HP like 120 or even 200 with the medallion. Most of your units would barely scratch him, but most of them could survive one hit and not get doubled too. He would have been some sort of Mega Fomortiis without the absolute cheese known as Ephraim. It would have been fun to see Elincia double him for 2 damage or something.
the one thing I like about Ashnard as a unit along with the mount, is that his Laguz stands on 3 of his 4 limbs, where when Ashnard lashes Gurgurant; the laguz also slams his fourth limb down, adding to the momentum of the attack. I really like that effort they put into the attack animation.
I know the video's pretty old, but from what I'd read, in the original maniac mode, he could be harmed the the S tier weapons. They did away with this in localization to make him more difficult.
That would be kinda cool. It would be even cooler if all of the S-rank weapons were actually available in the game, but what can you do
I have played maniac mode and this wasn't a thing. I still had to kill him with Ike and the king-Laguz.
Ashnard kinda looks like Post game FE7 Hector.
A year earlier, when I was playing FE 7 for the first time and didn't know who Ashnard was, you could have showed him to me and said Hector was in PoR and he looked like this and I would have believed you.
so.. Wyvern Knight Hector then?
He's a total Chad compared to most of the other villains in the series.
it's like every other villain wish they were as evil as him.

My favorite quote has to be "HA. IDIOT. SHOULD'VE GOTTEN YOUR ARMOR BLESSED BY A GODDESS!"
I wish the newer FE’s had fleshed out boss dialogues like the older games. Sigh
Yea bc it’s so much better to hide the main villain’s entire motivation behind a boss convo with the dancer, who no sane player would ever put within a football field’s distance of the boss, right?
There are some good boss dialogues in Awakening
@@karabirb Part of the reason why it's better that way. The old FE games had the #x chapters to uncover more parts of the story. Sometimes you needed to bring very specific units to get just a couple extra lines of dialogue...Honestly, I like that. It's a major pain in the ass, especially with characters like Sephiran in Radiant Dawn, but I honestly like it. Do something ridiculously tough, complicated, or both and get a reward. Besides, it doesn't make sense that the main Lords get to speak paragraphs at a time in the middle of a fight anyways, so spreading it out makes it more interesting from a gameplay standpoint.
@@karabirb it’s a lot better than not giving the villain a motivation. Pure evil dragons are stupid and lame. Dragon degeneration is stupid and lame. The only fleshed out final boss in modern FE is Edelgard.
A few of these really need to get blessed weapons in a remake. Mist especially could just get a passive flag that allows her to ignore blessed armor entirely in my eyes, considering one could reasonable argue she could get some lasting effect from having had the medallion for a long time. Heck, Yune in the sequel and FEH looks similar to her because of this, so it would not even feel like a fanficy change.
The editing you did with Elincia was beautiful.
Jeeze I didn't even know he had so many convos with so many units, what a boneheaded decision on the devs part to make him invincible against mostly everyone.
How does SMG2 music fit so well
Even if you don't like the game, you HAVE to respect Path of Radiance for having all of these boss quotes! Every time we think "Alright there can't be any more quotes" and another one appears.
It certainly shows that this game was heavily rushed to some degree, as it makes no sense to attack an invulnerable Ashnard with any character other than those who can inflict damages. Assumingly, the developpers had first decided to have Ashnard vulnerable in its first phase, then possibly semi-invulnerable during his second stance. Which is certainly a shame, as most of these quotes are quite fine.
There's certainly precedent for that theory, considering a lot of the unused content for this game.
never seen elincia so angry before o.o
"Wait, did you have 11 minutes---" (Couldn't catch WaddlerD's last words from the Finale I video) And this video is approximately 11 minutes. And there were 11 comments when I came in. 11 seems to be a strangely magical number today.
The amount of likes omg
Wow MK, what a perfect opening and ending. Of course it was Ilyana who explodes, and that trolly outtro.
It's a bummer almost no one in the game is allowed to hurt him
Giffca's quote is so cool
You gotta give credit to Mordecai for tanking at least a hit from Ashnard!
Dude... The Super Mario Bros Game Over theme just kills the mood...
Author Bat That was the intention~
Author Bat hellsing op
arcerus22 Wow, I didn't think someone here would get it that fast.
Author Bat ive seen episodes 1-3 at LEAST 7 times each
arcerus22 Fair enough.
With so many of these quotes being seen on my original playthrough years ago on the GameCube, never have I been happier to have Dolphine Emulator and know the Debug code to remove his cheap ass 'blessing' so that only his stats can protect him, because he has no business being that much of a bastard and getting away from each conversation without a scratch... By the way, he's actually very badly hurt by Wind Tomes and the Sonic Sword like all other flying units, so Mist and Elincia can actually deal some pretty respectable damage to the guy at that point.
Maybe that's why they added the invincibility. Seems like you could cheese him pretty quickly with effective damage then
@@Eltrotraw Er... His army's not exactly a cakewalk though, they'll test you on your way to him. And if you play Hard Mode, he's even stronger with a second form, and the Laguz Noble aid doesn't arrive till then unlike easier modes.
so many of these confrontation quotes would've been so much cooler if ashnard wasn't immune to damage from anyone not named ike, nasir, ena, tibarn, giffca, or naesala.
You had fun with this. Illyana was of course the nameless generic to be killed. Too bad for Haar and the others who just couldn't hack it. Is it even remotely possible for Tauroneo to damage Ashnard and become a Kingkiller?
Greenlord075 Tauroneo cannot math.
nope, Tauroneo cannot physically kill ashnard. doesn't matter what his stats are, he's not a Dragon, Laguz Royal, not can he wield Ragnell, so Ashnard is invincible to him
@@gypsysprite4824 Japanese, Maniac mode, S Tier weapons can hurt Ashnard.
Yet he's never seen with Stun, even on Maniac and the trial maps, so there's one more unused animation for the pile. A shame too, it's awesome and practically the Bowser Bomb.
ashnard is the kind of guy that gives you his political ideology while having brunch or something
Hey Look, It's Mad King Hector... Ok, Bs Aside, Y Does He Look Like An Evil Hector? With A Dragon?
I thought to seek for the Ashnard’s conversation with soren
I feel like Edelgard's goal is a mix between Ashnard's and Arvis's.
true, but edelgard will never be as straightforward as ashnard despite of similar motive. it's like edelgard wish to be as evil as ashnard, but it will never happened.
@@henryford4241 Ashnard is a perfect “mad king” type villain. Most villains turn into the “mad” part by getting possessed by whichever dark god there is. Ashnard is just naturally insane, and that’s what I love about him. Edelgard is off brand Ashnard and a lot less badass. She isn’t like “oh yeah kill me please in the most grotesque way as possible”.
@@ikecampbell2221 kek, that's so true, sometimes making antagonist a morally grey does not necessarily making them a good antagonist/villain. meanwhile ashnard while being a pure evil, he's a also chad enough to not agonizing if he's losing against ike, because that's part of his ideology as a pure social darwinist.
@@henryford4241 Edelgard is also, unlike Arvis and Ashnard, entirely delusional about her goal. While she shows glimmers of recognition that what shes doing is wrong, its more like she acknowledges how harsh her deeds are, without understanding or realizing how stupid and hypocritical her whole war even is. Her motives are fueled by half-truths and even outright lies about the church and Fodland, especially since she was spoonfed that propaganda by Those Who Slither, and while her goals are fairly reasonable, bringing about a better age of equality to Fodland and trying to stamp out any corruption the church has...her methods and war goals are entirely unjustified. There is no good reason to respond to Fodland's corruption with a massive fuck-you war that caused countless pointless deaths, and if she were to just sit down and talk with the other house leaders and even Rhea, she'd probably be fine. At least Arvis came to the realization his treachery and conquest was overall wrong, and Ashnard has no shame and doesn't hide what hes doing, he knows what he's doing and his only remote justification is making a typical "strong dominates the weak" world. Edelgard, in contrast, has no self awareness, and she has by far one of the least justified causes in the whole franchise. She acts like she's this great liberator against the church, when Rhea isn't even close to evil and, though she has made mistakes, is ultimately still working on preserving the mostly cleaner world she's created. Many of Edelgard's fans only defend her because, in my opinion, they are most likely atheists who ride off the high of "religion bad religion bad". Not all atheists are like that of course, but some are. In short, Edelgards fans are often the right mixture to really make discussing Edelgard's sins a grand old game of annoyance to deal with. Good job making our first big female villain that isnt a divine entity some hypocritical self-righteous twit that divided the fandom, IS, that doesn't make me detest her stans or anything -_-
@@ikecampbell2221 wasn't that because of the same blood that affected his two children? I think how Ashnard turned insane was explained somewhere, but I forgot the details about it.

And after playing Radiant Dawn you technically gave Ashnard what he wanted because humanity and laguz defeated a goddess.
O shit taureneo hit ashnard with the smack
I would like you do a replay of radiant dawn and do the same concept, use underrated units. Unless you hate the game too much to really do it :3
He doesn't like Radiant Dawn at all. He sold his game to someone else. He doesn't have it anymore.
It is sad that Ike is the only person who can fight this man... Since anybody else doing is just you sacrificing them to maybe save Ike so he can get to healing ^^'

My battle quotes against Ashnard (as the Divine One from Legends of Arkensius) Ashnard: And who may you be, Dragon? The Divine One: I am no ordinary Dragon. I am none other than the Divine One, Arkensius' Long-Lost Legend of the Past! Ashnard: A Legend of the Past...from Arkensius? Hee hee ha! Nee hee ha! Tremble before the might of the Mad King! The Divine One: I am not afraid of Mortals like you, Mad King! I shall never tremble before your might! Ashnard: If you do not tremble before me, then you are not worthy of the mighty and strong! The Divine One: Nonsense! Might and strenght do not come only with courage, but also with the will of aiding our nation! You have no dignity of being a King, with your selfishness and cowardice! Ashnard: Oh, so you want to die? In that case, I shall strike you with my blade! I will make your dragon blood sink! The Divine One: Silence, Mortal! Your reign of tyranny has caused a War! But today is the end of Daein's Mad King, YOUR end! *Divine Roar*

...By not using her? (This was from a run where I focused on lesser units)
MageKnight404 I see. It's just weird considering how OP Jill is and how there's no reason to not abuse her. Props for not doing it though
@@levobertus I admit, I never used her once in all my time playing this game. There are so many characters that just pulled me in more than her, and since the list for combat units was always so limited, it was easy to forgo her.
TO CHALLENGE ASHNARD You had one job :'(
Ost name?
Look at 0:07
A white dragon! No offense -my dude- assnard but that sounds racist af
So i dont get it. Ena is supposed to be one of the Legendary undefeatable Dragons in this Game. While Ashnard almost kills her? This is so stupid because Ashnard isnt that strong even with his Dragon beast. The Black Knight is the strongest Enemy in this Game so did they just overpowered Ashnard at his Final Level? I still dont get it
It was made _very_ clear throughout the game that Ashnard is no ordinary man or knight. There is a reason he's able to keep pace with dragon laguz - he _is_ that intimidating. Also Ena's rep as a dragon is overstated, and she even admits it when you compare her to the Feral Red Dragons at the end of the game. Really she's kind of nothing thanks to her mixed blood.
Shame on you for not training Jill, She's one of the best units in any fire emblem game!
upchuck42 I'm afraid the playthrough I had going had to ban her use...
MageKnight404 Then that's no playthrough at all, my friend.
+upchuck42 It was a "units that nobody uses" playthrough.
One of the best units in *any* Fire Emblem? She's good but she's not *that* good. She has RD Haar, Seth, Fe7 Marcus, Oifey, Sigurd, Corrin, Camilla, Morgan, Robin, and Perceval to compete with. She's most definitely not one of the best. She's good, but they beat her by miles.
Morgan. That is all.
Mad King Ashnard. Aka Edelgard mk 1 All the Edelgard simps be hating on this man but both of them literally the same.
Rudolph is MK1, Ashnard is MK 2
Bruh. Edelgard is at least sane enough to not make her new world a never ending bloodbath and a state of constant fear. Ashnard wouldn’t care if you had to fight for your position everyday, the only rule in his world is that if you got weak, you’d be DEAD.
