Starting a Creature Campaign save.
Creature Campaign is a post-game challenge in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
Overview
Upon completing the main story of The Sacred Stones, the player unlocks the Creature Campaign. Available in the Extras menu, select Map, and then select a profile that is at the Epilogue to start a Creature Campaign file.
During the Creature Campaign, the player can save anywhere on the world map, but cannot create permanent saves in the Tower of Valni or Lagdou Ruins.
Mode Basics
In this campaign, the player may traverse the map and battle monsters. No human enemies, other than Thieves, appear.
Similar to the Trial Maps in other titles such as The Binding Blade, the Tower of Valni and Lagdou Ruins yield bonus characters after meeting certain criteria, such as clearing a certain number of floors of the ruins, or completing three runs through the tower. Characters unlocked in the Creature Campaign cannot be used in the Link Arena.
Monsters spawn on the world map, similar to how they spawn during the main story. When the world map is cleared of monster skirmishes, another set of three will spawn. The Creature Campaign has no defined end, and will continue to spawn new monsters perpetually. Players may also visit the Tower of Valni and Lagdou Ruins at any time.
Like all monster encounters in the main game, villages, shops, arenas and armories are inaccessible on the battle maps. Secret Shops can be accessed from the map, but still require the Member Card be in a unit's inventory to access.
