Wave 2 of the Expansion Pass DLC adds five additional Auxiliary Battles (Battle at Lake Teutates, Battle in the Forest, Battle at Gronder Field, Battle at the Sealed Forest, and Battle at Conand Tower) and new Auxiliary Battle background music (titled “Corridor of the Tempest”).
Additionally, four valuable items with stat boosts can be picked up by Byleth’s bed in their Personal Quarters; each save file can receive these supplies: Sacred Galewind Shoes (Movement +1), Sacred Floral Robe (HP +7), Sacred Snowmelt Drop (Strength +3), Sacred Moonstone (Speed +3).
Lastly, one new type of attire (House Loungewear) has been added for most students, as well a pair of glasses for Byleth that can be worn with any outfit.
The new “Maddening Mode” difficulty setting, meanwhile, adds a “greater challenge” to the game, and players that beat a save file in the mode without carrying over previous cleared save data will receive a “slightly” altered title screen.
Those looking for a greater challenge in #FireEmblem: Three Houses, Maddening Mode is available now via a free software update. If you finish a game in this mode without carrying over your previous cleared save data, the title screen will slightly change. Good luck, professor! pic.twitter.com/L30WyxGc0u
