“They follow the Black Fang due south. Although the trail vanishes, Lyn uses her tracking skills, and the pursuit continues. The path leads up into Bern's impassable mountains. The peaks know no seasons, and the snow covers all in a bright blanket. In this land of blinding reflections, an ancient castle appears.”

Pale Flower of Darkness is Chapter 25 of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade in Eliwood mode and 27 in Hector mode.
- Like Chapter 23, this chapter also has two different maps. You'll get Kenneth's map if the sum of Priscilla, Serra, Lucius, and Erk's levels are higher than the sum of Dorcas, Guy, Bartre, and Raven's levels, and you'll get Jerme's map if it's the other way around.
- Jerme's Map: To get Harken, you must NOT open more than 3 doors by the end of turn 9; to get Karel, you must open more than 3 doors by the end of the turn 9. You can recruit Harken with his lover Isadora, his lord Eliwood, Marcus, Lowen, Hector and Oswin while you can recruit Karel with your main lord or Lyn, depending on whether you are playing Hector's story or Eliwood's story. Both are decent units, if only for the Brave sword Harken wields or the Wo Dao that Karel wields. There are many reinforcements regardless of which version of the chapter you access so make sure to guard your weaker units.
- Kenneth's Map: To get Harken, you must defeat LESS THAN two promoted enemies by the end of turn 9. To get Karel, you must defeat 2 or more promoted enemies by the end of turn 9. You can recruit them with the same people as mentioned in the above paragraph. They will also hold the same items as the other map.
