As in previous games in the franchise, players can unlock Anna's shop in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes to buy some of the more uncommon items in the game. Fire Emblem Warriors is the newest hack-and-slash game from Koei Tecmo. Set within the Fire Emblem world, Three Hopes focuses on the story and setting of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes allows players to explore the continent of Fódlan a year before the events of Three Hopes, similarly to how Koei Tecmo created the hack-and-slash game Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity to give players more insight into the story that led to Breath of the Wild.
Anna has been part of the Fire Emblem franchise since the first game in the series and serves as a guide, mentor, and merchant for the heroes. Once Anna is unlocked in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, she will appear on players' War Map at the beginning of new chapters. Her icon will show players where she can be found, and will move around the map every time players fight in a battle.
Anna's shop in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes sells class promotion Seals, Smithing Stones, and stat-boosting items, so unlocking it should be a priority. These items can help boost Shez, the protagonist of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, in whichever class players choose for them. Her shop will not stay in one place for long, so players should take advantage of it when they see her on the War Map. Once unlocked, players can buy items only found in her shop to make their characters stronger.
How to Unlock Anna's Shop in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
Players can unlock Anna's shop in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes around chapter 15 by heading back to where the blacksmith is in town. If players have unlocked the Eastern and Southern merchants, it is in the same area. This is where players will find Anna, one of the merchants that can give gifts in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes alongside other important items. She gives players a mission called "The Secret Shop," where she asks players to find the "Secret Thingy" she's looking for in return for opening up her shop.
The item Anna is looking for is near the sauna, north of the dorm in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. There will be a blue sparkly item on the floor next to the well, "Anna's Secret Thingy." The item is described as being "too incredible to behold," and players never find out what it actually is. Pick it up, bring it back to Anna, and her shop will be open for the player for the rest of the game.
Anna's shop will contain a master Seal, stat-boosting items, rings, shields, potions, and more. Having access to this shop will be helpful for players looking to upgrade characters in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes and progress throughout the game, so players should complete this mission once Anna appears in the town.
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is available on the Nintendo Switch.
