Hello, fellow RPG fans! Let me introduce myself. My name is Johnathan Sawyer, but feel free to call me 'rhyxx' (sounds like 'ricks', if you were wondering). Welcome to yet another strategy guide I have created, and this time through, it's for a classic RPG for the Playstation, Suikoden. *[.NOTE.]* Konami has decided to re-release this game, along with Suikoden II to the PSP. From what I've read, the games' gameplay and content have not changed much, so this guide should work along with it. The only problem is this; Konami has not announced a release date or even a release for here in the United States. Let's all hope that it does make it over here,
okay? ------Once there was a hero named Barbarossa - 'the Golden Emperor' - hero of the Scarlet Moon Empire. But the sun is now setting on that Empire. The day is silently drawing near. The 108 Star of Destiny are gathering. The son of distinguished soldier Teo McDohl, on of the five Imperial Generals, lives without want for anything, surrounded by his attendant Gremio, his father's servants Cleo and Pahn, and his best friend Ted. One day, Teo makes a trip to the north to protect his Empire. It is then that the boy realizes his place in the Empire and sees the world with his own eyes for the first time. A world filled with resentment toward the Empire awaits... ------My purpose for this guide: To make sure that you are able to get a perfect game, meaning that you can find all items, recruit all of the characters, and see all there is to see. To sum it up; I will leave no stone unturned, meaning that there will be spoilers, so beware. For this guide, I have decided to do a direct walkthrough, which includes the locations of all of the items in the game, the mini-games, recruiting the 108 Stars of Destiny, and any/all side-quests. It won't be an extensive FAQ, so don't expect to find item and armor lists or shop prices. There are FAQs at GameFAQs that either specialize in this, or are listed in other FAQs like this one. I'm 99% sure that I have found everything in the game that can be found. However, if for some reason I have left something out that should be in here, feel free to email me at [email protected] to let me know. I've been working on this guide for years, so I have put a lot of work into this, and I want it to be as complete as possible. I still welcome all contributions!

After you put in the disc, press start, then start a new game. You'll have to choose a name for the Hero of the game. Pick whatever name you want. For this guide, I will refer to him as Hero or "you". I'd use rhyxx, but that'd be confusing for those who don't read this paragraph and just search through the guide like many of you do.
*[.NOTE.]* For those of you who play Suikoden II, or will use this data for Suikoden II, let me tell you something. When you load data to Suikoden II from this game, the name of the Hero of Suikoden I will also carry over. The bad part is that only the uppercase letters carry over to the default name, which is McDohl, the Hero's last name. According to many sources I've read, such as Suikosource.com, says that in the book, his name is Tir McDohl. Now, I am usually picky enough to go along with the books, so I usually name him Tir, but when you go to Suikoden II, his name will become TcDohl, which is annoying. If you're like me, you can do one of four things. 1) 2) 3) 4)
Name him McDohl, thus becoming McDohl McDohl. Use a name that starts with "M". Name him in all lowercase, so it's okay for me, since it's just rhyxx. Name your character in all capitals, AS LONG AS it's as long or longer than 6 letters, otherwise what letters are left will stay on. For me, if I named him RHYXX like I'd like to do, it would become RHYXXl in Suikoden II. You see what I mean?
It's the same with the castle. Its name will be Tora Castle in the history books, so do what you need to when we get to that. Sorry about basically devoting basically an entire section to it but I just thought I'd let you know. Things that you should know about Suikoden :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: % There are 108 characters in this game, with a majority of them usable for battle. % SQUARE is your menu. If you check, your characters have a label with either S, M, or L, meaning Short, Medium, Medium, and Long Long range respectively. Attackers with the S MUST be in the front row. M and L can be in either one, and L attackers can attack the enemies back row. NP means Non Playable. % You CAN run in this game, but only if someone in your immediate party as a Holy Rune Rune equipped, or if Stallion is in your party with the True Holy Rune. Otherwise, you you have to walk all the time. % To be able to use magic, you must equip a rune. To do this, you have to visit a Rune Shop to attach it. You'll find many runes throughout throughout the game, but you can only buy runes at Item Shops. Some runes runes cannot be removed, and some runes can only be attached to certain characters. % You can only save at Inns or Journeyman's Crystals. % You MUST visit every Item Shop and Armory you come across; by taking a look at their items, you will will be able to have them in stock later in the game. Very important in the beginning beginning at Gregminster. % Many characters have Unite commands, meaning they can team up with other members and do a combo combo in in battle. battle. % In addition to the characters' Unite, you can also do combinations with magic! If you cast a level 4 spell on two different runes during the same round, they will cast them together to form a very very powerful spell! The runes that you can combine are these: Fire Fire & Earth, Earth & Wind, Wind & Water, Water & Lightning, and Lightning & Fire. Try it out! % Even if your HP is full, you should rest at an Inn after leveling up some because because it's the only way to replenish your MP. % During a battle, a character has to have a Sacrificial Buddha to be revived; otherwise, otherwise, they're down for the battle. After the battle, just use a Medicine Medicine to replenish their their HP. However, However, when you come across a Resurrection Rune later in the game, you will will be able to use a spell to revive your characters in battle.
% In a Major Battle (a.k.a. a War Battle), if you see a message saying that one of your characters has DIED, RESET your game. If someone's dead, you will not be able to to get all 108 108 Stars and the good ending. My Directions for Suikoden :::::::::::::::::::::::::: N | NW | NE \|/ W----x----E /|\ SW | SE | S

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.501 -Gregminster-, the Golden Capital... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [1] You'll start off in the Emperor's Palace [Bits] 100 in Gregminster. Talk to your father, Teo, [Save Points] Hero's Desk, Inn and you'll be taken to an audience with [Recruits] (1) Hero (M) Emperor Barbarossa. After the chat Ted (L) between Teo, Barbarossa, and Windy, the Emperor will decide to send Teo to the northern border to protect it from the United City-States of Jowston. He'll give Teo his sword, Prakk, and then he'll ask you if you would like to help the Empire while Teo is away. [1] Yes, Your Highness. [2] I don't wanna.
Choose either one, and he'll be happy to hear what you have to say. Commander Kraze will assigned to watch over you, then you'll be wished luck. You'll automatically head back a little ways before you gain control. Go right, up, then right and down the stairs. Go right and down some more to have Teo tell you to introduce yourself to Kraze. Before you do that, go right into this room and check the statue in the right corner; you'll find [_100 BITS_] here. After you've grabbed that, go left and talk to Kraze. After that, go back and talk to Teo, and you'll head back home. Back at home, Gremio will rush over to you and welcome you back. After a little more discussion with him, he'll tell you that Ted is here to congratulate you, then he'll run back to check on his stew. *[.NOTE.]* Before doing ANYTHING, you have a couple of choices. You can obtain one of two runes now, depending on your choice. The first is the Fortune Rune; this rune will increase the amount of EXP you receive after battle. The second is the Prosperity Rune; this rune will increase the amount of Bits you receive after battle. If you don't want either of these items, just go to the section Back to -Gregminster-. % To get the Fortune Rune, used for increasing EXP, DO NOT go up the stairs and talk to Ted, Ted, but leave the house right away. % If you want the Prosperity Rune, used for increasing Bits, go upstairs and talk to Ted, then leave the house right away. away. Again, this is completely optional and a little difficult. I went by
myself first and gained some levels because you gain levels quicker when there are less people in your party. Then I went and got Ted, because I prefer Bits over EXP, due to the fact that EXP is variable by level. After you leave the house, go to the Inn and save your game. Then leave Gregminster via the south gate out to the World Map. World Map ~~~~~~~~~ Gregminster/Lenankamp/Mt. Gregminster/Lenankamp/ Mt. Tigerwolf/Sarady/Rockland/Mt. Seifu/N.Kwaba Area :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::: [Enemies] BonBon Walk south to Lenankamp, but be careful; if Crow you run into enemies other than the BonBon, or Mosquito maybe a Crow or two, run away. In Lenankamp, Red Soldier Ant go up the eastern stairs and in the Armory. Wild Boar You can only afford one good item in here, so grab the Pointed Hat, then go to the western side of town and go into the Blacksmith and sharpen our weapon to level 2. Don't bother getting Ted armor or sharpening his weapon; he's not a permanent party member. Leave Lenankamp and start walking around and fighting some BonBons to get better and get some money. As you level up, go back and forth from fighting and sharpening your weapons or upgrading your equipment. I stopped with a level 5 Dragon Fang Staff, and Hero at level 12, along with some Brass Armor. *[.NOTE.]* If you want, head east of Gregminster to a town called Rockland. Go to the Inn and save, then talk to the person named Marco outside of the Inn. There's a neat little trick that I found out in my last game for easy money. Place a bet, then choose the right cup. ALMOST ALWAYS, you will win! After you win the first time, quit, then talk to Marco and play again, and repeat as necessary until you have plenty of money! (I stopped at 300,000.) With all this money, you can equip Ted if you feel like it. If that doesn't work for you, try playing the game at the 100 Bit stage, and write down where the coin lands each time. Do that for a while, then quit, then come back and use that information for the 10,000 Bit stage. It's not a guaranteed 100% win rate, but there won't always be one, so just try it out if the other one doesn't seem to be working for you. Thanks goes out to the anonymous gamer who sent it to me. *[.NOTE.]* This following section is dedicated to Marco's cup game; apparently, it's a popular subject! Chris ([email protected]) ([email protected]) let me know of a new pattern for Marco's cup game - instead of just choosing the right one all the time then quitting and repeating, choose the right cup, then the middle cup, and you will win both of them every time, then quit and repeat, choosing the right one, then the middle one. I have tested this myself, and it does work when Marco is in Rockland. Thanks again! Hiryu ([email protected]) also let me know about another variable in Marco's cup game - sometimes, instead of being on the right all the time, sometimes it will be on the left all time, so if that happens to you, just choose the left one all the time! Matt ([email protected]) ([email protected]) sent me a tip on acquiring more money from Marco's cup game in one session. Simply bet the smallest amount you can bet, and watch where the coin goes. Write down where it ends up.
Repeat about 15 times. Quit. Talk to Marco again. You have now written down the first 15 places that the coin ends up. The trick is that the coin always follows the same pattern, no matter how much you bet. If, for example, The coin lands, Right, Left, Right, Middle.. When you bet 100 bits. You can now bet 10,000, and the coin will still land, Right, Left, Right, Middle. Just remember, the coin follows the same pattern, no matter how much you bet. GaToaLe ([email protected]) sent me another strategy for winning more money from Marco's cup game. It was simply this: Right-Middle-Left-Right-Left-Middle-Right-Righ Right-Middle-Left-Righ t-Left-Middle-Right-Right-Right. t-Right. After that, quit and do it again. -- The last three tips are unconfirmed. I have now decided that I will -not accept any more contributions regarding Marco's Cup Game - if what you read here somehow isn't sufficient to you, ANickerson's FAQ at GameFAQs.com has even more detailed patterns regarding this, so check it out it you need to. After resting and preparing, head to the southwest of Gregminster / northwest of Lenankamp to a bridge. Cross it, then go northwest and up the mountain path to Mt. Tigerwolf. *[.NOTE.]* One last note for now - C.A. ([email protected]) let me know that the Mosquitos on the World Map have a chance of dropping a Holy Crystal. Just thought I'd let you know. -Mt. Tigerwolf ::::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [12], Ted [5] [Bits] 1000 [Items] Medicine, Wind Rune Piece, Antique, Medicine [Equipment] Circlet, Gloves [Runes] Clone Crystal Follow the path, then grab the [_CIRCLET_] [Enemies] Giant Snail to your south. Go right to the next screen, Killer Slime follow the path, up the stairs, then grab the Slasher Rabbit [_MEDICINE_] before going up to the next area. Go left, down the stairs, then open the chest to find some [_GLOVES_]. Go up the nearby stairs, then right across the bridge, and up to the next area. Continue up some more to the next area. Go left to a fork; to the left is another chest with a [_WIND RUNE PIECE_], so get it, then go up under the bridge. If you're running out of space, either discard something, or just wait until later to grab it, along with the rest of the items here. Follow the path left across the bridge, then up to the next area. Go right and up past the locked building to the next area. Go up to yet another screen. Go left, up, and right to grab the [_ANTIQUE_] before going up to the next screen. Go up a little, then open the chest to your left for another [_MEDICINE_]. Take the eastern path up, and get the [_CLONE CRYSTAL_] out of the chest here. Go back and go up the western stairs, then continue up, but grab the [_1000 BITS_] to your right. Now go north back out to the World Map, then go north and enter Sarady. -Sarady ::::::
[My Party] Hero [13], Ted [8] Go into the northeasternmost [Save Points] Inn house and talk to the man [Runes] Fortune Crystal OR Prosperity Crystal in here. If you're alone, you'll receive the [_FORTUNE CRYSTAL_], but if Ted is with you, you'll receive the [_PROSPERITY CRYSTAL_]. I always drag Ted along and get the Prosperity Rune, because the EXP in this game is variable depending on levels. Also, DO NOT EQUIP EITHER ONE ON HERO! Wait until Gremio joins your party, then put it on him. Hero will automatically gain a rune of his own through the storyline, and if he has another one equipped at that point, he'll lose it for good! *[.NOTE.]* When fighting the Killer Slimes, you may have gotten some Water Rune Pieces. Once you get back to a Blacksmith, I recommend equipping them onto the Hero, as they help recover HP each turn; the more you put on, the more he'll recover. Buy some Medicine or rest at the Inn if you want, then make your way ALL THE WAY back to Gregminster to your house. Now, we continue the story. Back to -Gregminster::::::::::::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [13], Ted [8] Head back to the McDohl residence and go [Save Points] Hero's Desk, Inn to the second floor, then to Hero's room [Recruits] (2) Gremio (M) on the left. Ted will ask to join your Pahn (S) party to pay back the McDohl family for (3) Cleo (L) adopting him when he was an Ted (L) orphan. Choose 1 then listen [1] Of course. to him asking you questions about [2] Gee, I dunno. your meeting with the Emperor. After that, Ted will start to tell you something, only to be interrupted by Gremio telling you that it's time to eat. Go sit in the chair beside your father, Teo. He tells everyone that he's heading north tomorrow, so he'll leave everything to Hero. It's up to Gremio and two of Teo's other servants, Cleo and Pahn, to take care of him. During the early morning, Teo visits Hero to say goodbye, and a while after he leaves, Gremio wakes you up, telling you that today, you'll be a working member of the Imperial forces. Gremio will then join your party! If you want, you can examine the desk in your room to find Hero's Diary, where you can save your game. Thanks to Troy ([email protected]) for letting me know that this was here. Go back downstairs to have Pahn and Cleo also join your party! Start to leave your house to have Ted rejoin, then leave. Before going to the Imperial Palace, and if you have the money, head to the Armory to the lower right of Gregminster and update Gremio and Cleo's equipment (don't worry about Pahn for now; he's a temporary member at this moment, like Ted). Also, put either the Fortune or Prosperity Rune on Gremio if you have the money. Make SURE that you actually LOOK at the armor here; notice that they have Wing Boots for 10,200 Bits; these are the only place in the game that you can buy them, so just look at them so you'll be able to buy them later in the game. After that, head north and into the Imperial Palace. Once inside, go up a little bit, then left into Kraze's room. He'll scold you for being late, then he'll give you your first assignment; you have to go northeast of Gregminster to a place called Magician's Island to see a woman known as Leknaat the Seer, to retrieve the astrological results.
He'll then ask if you were listening, and where to go. [1] Northeast of Gregminster. [2] Northwest of Gregminster. [3] Somewhere on this earth.
Option 1 is the correct answer, but choose however you like. He'll tell you that a Dragon Knight from the Dragon's Den will take you there, so head back outside of the palace. After listening to the party's opinions on the errand, talk to the Dragon Knight to your far right where the stables are. This kid is Futch, with his Dragon, Black. (This is probably redundant, and a well known fact, but why do the dragons in this game sound like elephants? *sigh*) Futch has a bit of a temper, as does Ted, and the sparks will fly between the two of them every time they talk to each other. Notice that Ted mentions that he happens to be 300-years... (old, maybe?) After climbing on Black's back, you'll fly off to Magician's Island. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.502 -Magician's Island-, the future in the stars... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [1], Pahn [1] Follow the straightforward Cleo [1], Ted [8] path to the next area. Once [Items] Medicine there, head northwest and grab the [Equipment] Leather Coat [_MEDICINE_] out of the chest. Make [Runes] Fire Crystal your way northeast and follow the path [Party Items] Astral Conclusions to the next area. Keep following the [Enemies] FurFur path until you reach a fork; take the Holly Boy eastern north path to find a chest containing a *BOSS*---Golem [_LEATHER COAT_]. Go back and take the western north path. Follow the path some more to run into a kid ________ named Luc. He'll summon a Golem to battle you. |*BOSS*| ********* Have Gremio and Pahn use the Unite command to perform their [ Golem ] Talisman attack, and have Hero, Cleo, and Ted attack. This ********* battle should be really easy if you took the time to travel to Sarady to get one of those runes. Even if you didn't, it [Bits] 1500 isn't too terribly hard. After the battle, Luc is impressed that you beat his magic, recognizing you as the Imperial Guards; he was just testing you to make sure you were the real thing. Follow him into the tower, then follow the path, climbing the stairs to the top. When you reach the top, talk to Leknaat, and she'll ask you to follow her to get the Astral Conclusions. Follow her into the next room, and when she gives them to you, she seems surprised; she can see the future, and she says that she sees you bearing a huge burden in the flow of destiny, and that you'll experience much pain and sorrow, but you'll be able to handle it. You'll finally receive the [_ASTRAL CONCLUSIONS_]. Leave the room and approach your party. As you prepare to leave, Leknaat will come back in and decide to have Luc take you to the shore. Before you leave, Leknaat will give Cleo a [_FIRE CRYSTAL_] to use to protect Hero. Luc will then transport you back to the shore with Futch. You'll then fly back to Gregminster. -Gregminster ::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [5], Pahn [5], Head into the castle and Cleo [5], Ted [9] report to Commander Kraze. [Save Points] Inn He decides that you're not totally
useless, so he gives you another assignment; now we've got to go east of Gregminster to a town called Rockland and find out why they're not paying their taxes. To make it even more fun, we have to take his idiotic assistant, Kanaan, with us to talk to the town's head honcho, Grady. After Kanaan joins you, leave the palace. Head to the lower-right of Gregminster to the Rune Shop and put the Fire Crystal on Cleo. Before going to Rockland, I recommend going south to Lenankamp and upgrading Gremio's and Cleo's weapons and armor, as well as fighting for a little while on the World Map before continuing, if you feel that you need to. When you're ready, head east of Gregminster to Rockland. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.503 -Rockland-, capturing tax thieves... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [7], Pahn [7] *[.NOTE.]* Here in Rockland, Cleo [7], Ted [9] there's a person named Marco. [Save Points] Inn If you talk to Marco, you'll be able to play game where you guess which cup the coin is under. As I told you before, if you have 10,000 Bits, bet that, and choose the cup on the right, and you'll almost always win, and with Chris's tip, try choosing the right one, win, then the middle one, win, then quit, and play again, choosing the right, then the middle! Easy money! Go to the top of the area to the mansion, and go through the left door. After Kanaan yells at the guard here, the guard will go get Grady. Grady knows that they're here about the taxes, so he'll explain; bandits have settled on nearby Mt. Seifu and have been stealing from them, so they can't pay their taxes. Grady's just glad that the Imperial Guard (that's us) is here to get rid of the bandits for them. Should we go now? [1] Of course. [2] We should return home first. -Mt. Seifu :::::::::
Pick option 1, because Kanaan will say that we're going now anyway if you pick pick 2. Now, we've got to go to Mt. Seifu. Leave Rockland unless you need something, then head east to Mt. Seifu.
[My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [7], Pahn [7] Cleo [7], Ted [9] [Save Points] Before Varkas and Sydonia [Bits] 1000 [Items] Medicine, Antique, Defense Rune Piece, Medicine, Escape Talisman Thunder Rune Piece [Equipment] Boots, Leggings Follow the path until your party has a [Enemies] Bandit (A) little discussion. Then keep going until you Bandit (B) go into a cavern. (Fighting the Bandits here, Bandit (C) as well as the Black Wild Boars, with the Soldier Ant Prosperity Rune equipped can get you some Black Wild Boar easy money!) *BOSS*---Queen Ant *BOSS*-|-Varkas Once inside, follow the path, and at the fork, head |-Sydonia northeast and get the [_BOOTS_] and [_MEDICINE_] out of the two chests. Then head west and north into the doorway. In this room, there are a lot of paths to take! First, go west and southwest into another area with an [_ANTIQUE_] in a chest. Go back and take the westernmost path north, which leads to [_1000 BITS_] in a chest!
Back to the large room, take third path from the left (right-middle) up to a chest containing a [_DEFENSE RUNE PIECE_]. Personally, I always use these types of rune pieces on the Hero, since he's the only one in the game who's in your party 100% of the time. Go back and take the path beside the one you just came from (left-middle) to the next area. Keep going through this one to the next one as well. From the center of this room, grab the [_MEDICINE_] to the southwest, the [_LEGGINGS_] to the southeast, and an [_ESCAPE TALISMAN_] to the northwest. Move northeast and follow the path here up to the next room, up a set of stairs, and down to a large room. Follow the spiraling path to face the Queen Ant. ________ |*BOSS*| ************ It's impossible to win this battle, so have everyone [ Queen Ant ] DEFEND until you leave the battle. At this point, Ted [ Soldier Ants ] suggests that you let him take care of it. ************ [1] OK, Ted. [2] Don't be reckless, Ted.
Pick 1, and he'll head back into battle by himself. He'll use a strange rune, which wipes out the Queen Ant in one blow. After the battle, everyone is in awe of how he just did that. After Kanaan mutters something suspicious, head north and follow the path, up the stairs, then east to find a chest with a [_THUNDER RUNE PIECE_]. Head south, west, and south from here back outside. Heal your party, then save at the Journeyman's Crystal. After you save, head up the stairs to the next screen, where you'll meet the bandits Varkas and Sydonia. First, you'll have to fight 5 Bandits, then the leaders themselves. ________ |*BOSS*| Concentrate on Sydonia first, because he has less HP and he ******** can attack your back row. Have Cleo use her Fire Rune, [ Varkas ] Gremio and Pahn use the Talisman attack, and have Hero and [ Sydonia ] Ted attack/heal. Once Sydonia is down, take out Varkas. This ******** battle is easy, and you shouldn't have to worry about losing unless you haven't been leveling up lately. [Bits] 700 After the battle, Kanaan will take the credit for beating them, then you'll capture them and automatically return to the entrance of Mt. Seifu. Leave this place and head back west to Rockland. -Rockland :::::::: [My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [9], Pahn [9] Head right and up towards the Cleo [9], Ted [10] mansion to find some Imperial [Enemies] Empire Soldier (A) Soldiers stomping down a kid. You know Empire Soldier (B) what to do. Choose to fight and beat the Empire Soldier (C) living crap out of those despicable soldiers. After you're finished with them, [1] Fight. head into the mansion to the north. Grady will come and [2] Don't fight. take the bandits to the dungeon, as well as a 10,000 10,000 bit reward! (which Kanaan greedily takes for himself, so no penance for us). Now it's time to head back to Gregminster, but before you enter Gregminster, TAKE EVERYTHING OFF OF TED, as well as anything important off of Pahn; he'll be joining our party later in the game, so feel free to leave unimportant stuff on him, but Ted won't, so don't leave anything on him. When you've done that, head back to
Gregminster. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.504 -Gregminster-, the rain's dark omen... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [9], Pahn [9] As soon as you enter, Kanaan Cleo [9], Ted [10] will decide to go report his [Recruits] (4) Viktor (S) spectacular work to Kraze. Gremio decides to make a great meal for everyone, but Kanaan has to take Ted with him, so Ted will head off to the Palace while we need to head over to the McDohl residence. After you enter, the scene will switch to dinner, with a storm going on outside. When you get the chance, talk to Gremio to hear his worries about Ted, since he was supposed to be right back. Head downstairs and to the front door, only to find Ted lying on the floor. Everyone else will come in to help, noticing that he wasn't physically attacked, since Ted's wounds were caused by magic. Help him, and you'll take [1] Help. him up into one of the beds. After some discussion, Ted [2] Don't help. will come to and he'll tell you what happened. Ted was taken to see Lady Windy, who turns out to be a witch that Ted remembers from 300 years ago; she wants the rune on his right hand, but he uses the power of that rune, the Soul Eater, to escape from them. He'll pass out again, and Pahn will start to wonder if the Imperial Guard would do such a thing. Gremio will argue with Pahn about contacting them about this, then you'll regain control. Talk to Pahn outside of the door, and he'll decide to go wake up the shopkeeper and get some medicine for Ted. Ted will wake up once again, then he'll ask you to do something for him. [1] What What is it, Ted? Ted? Choose option 1 to take off his glove to to reveal one [2] No. of the 27 True Runes, the Soul Eater. If Ted hadn't used the Soul Eater at Mt. Seifu, Windy would have never found out about it, but it's too late now. Ted won't be able to escape from her with his wound, so he will ask you to take the Soul Eater and to protect it from Windy. [1] I'll take it, Ted. Don't worry. Choose to take it, and he will [2] No. bestow the Soul Eater upon your right hand. As soon as you do, something happens at the door. Head to the front door to find that Pahn has brought the Imperial Guard back with him. His excuse; he can't allow any trouble while Master Teo is away. They're here for Ted, but Cleo won't let them enter Master Teo's house without just cause. At this point, Ted will come in. He'll tell you that they think he still has the Soul Eater, so he suggests that everyone should escape while he uses himself as bait. [1] No. [2] All right.
Choose option 2 to agree with him, since we have to protect the Soul Eater at all costs. They will head out through the kitchen door, while Ted stays with the Guard. In 300 years, you were the only true friend he ever had. Out in the pouring rain, go behind the house and go left, then down and into Marie's Inn. Inside, she'll decide to let you hide out in the attic. Talk to Cleo and Gremio, then attempt to head downstairs to have Gremio
scold you. Then head downstairs anyway, and while you're at it, make your way to the exit on the first floor. As you go to leave, members of the Imperial Guard will come crashing through, complaining about you being in the way. [1] Shut up, you fool. [2] (We'd better try to to be inconspicuous.)
Pick either option, and the guard will take a closer look at you. They think that you're that 'fugitive' McDohl kid. Just as Cleo and Gremio get ready to fight them while you escape, a man named Viktor comes over to settle the whole thing. His thoughts; would fugitives still be hanging around here? C'mon, now. The guards buy it, and Viktor will decide to 'kick us out'. As you leave, Marie realizes that guy just left without paying! Outside, Viktor admits to bilking Marie, but thanks you for helping him out as well. Head north and talk to Viktor again. He says that he knows that you're the rebel McDohl, and that he also has an idea to help us all escape if we listen. [1] I'm not sure I can trust you. [2] All right. Help us out.
Choose to let him help, and he will agree on one condition; you must meet someone he knows. Not too bad of a deal. Anyway, Viktor will then join your party! Before doing anything else, go to your menu and select FORMATION, then move Viktor into the front row so he can attack during a battle. Now, head to the southern gate to let Viktor talk to the guard. Once he does that, you'll head outside. As it turns out, Viktor was able to bribe the guard; the whole Empire is corrupt and everything is about to come apart at the seams. Oh, to bribe him, he used Gremio's money! (haha) Now that we're out, we have a previous arrangement to meet someone, whom Viktor says is in Lenankamp.
[1] It's a promise. [2] I've never heard of Lenankamp.
Choose 1, then leave Gregminster. If you want, you can level up, but when you're finished, head to Lenankamp.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.505 -Lenankamp-, meeting a new ally... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [9], Viktor [7] As soon as you enter, Cleo [9] Viktor says that he needs [Save Points] Inn to make some arrangements, and he'll take off. Before going to the Inn, I'm sure that you have extra money. Sharpen all of your weapons to level 5 and get the best equipment you can, if you don't have it already. Once you do that fun stuff, go to the Inn and talk to the innkeeper and choose to stay the night. Gremio doubts that Viktor will come back, but Cleo is still hopeful. He also wonders why Pahn did what he did. You'll suddenly hear crashing at the front door; the Imperial Guard is here now, and Gremio will panic. [1] Let's fight. [2] I'm scared. Let's run.
Choose either option to have Cleo try to think of something. Someone then starts talking from behind the grandfather clock. Examine it to move it out of the way. A woman called Odessa will then hurry everyone underground. So Viktor didn't abandon us, as she knows that we're the new friends that he told her about. Head down, then left to meet the group; this is the Rebel Army that the Imperial Guard is trying to eliminate; the Liberation Army. Odessa
Silverberg is the leader of this army, and the other members are Viktor, Humphrey, Sanchez, and Flik. Viktor thinks that we could be a great asset the Liberation Army, though Gremio doesn't think so. What about you? [1] Who says I'll join? [2] Maybe I should join the Liberation Army.
Choose either option, and Flik says that he doesn't think that we should, since a lot of their hideouts have been discovered recently, and that there's probably a spy among them. In any case, Odessa will let you stay with them until things blow over, then you're free to do what you want. Head right then up to the stairs to find a member of the Liberation Army collapsed by the stairs. Once they're together, he'll tell Odessa that he's one of the Mt. Seifu bandits, who only rob the Imperial scum; his bosses, Varkas and Sydonia were captured, and he needs their help to rescue them, since Grady has strung them up to die. Now it's time for a little judgment call.
[1] It's our fault. [2] This has nothing to do with us.
Be the good guy and admit that it's your fault that they've been captured. After you tell Odessa your story, you'll be told by Viktor that it's up to us to help Varkas and Sydonia. He'll help too, so once you regain control, head back upstairs and leave the Inn. Put Viktor back in the front row of your battle party again, and if you have extra money, upgrade Viktor's equipment and sharpen his weapon. If you still have the Clone Crystal with you that you got at Mt. Tigerwolf, go ahead and put that on him too.
When you're done preparing, leave Lenankamp, then head north and east back to Rockland. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.506 -Rockland-, bandits in need... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [9], Viktor [7] Head up to the mansion as Cleo [9] usual, but this time, talk [Save Points] Inn to the guard blocking the door. He won't [Bits] 700, 1000 let you through, so Viktor will go distract [Items] Medicine him. Watch the events unfold as the Grady [Equipment] Brass Armor mansion mysteriously bursts into flames. [Enemies] Empire Captain (!) Viktor will come back, and you'll Empire Soldier (A) regain control. Head into the mansion, and Empire Soldier (B) make your way left to be attacked by some Empire Soldier (C) Empire Soldiers. Once you're done with Empire Soldier (D) them, grab the [_MEDICINE_] out of the chest in the room above you. Head left and up into another room to be attacked by more of them. Go down through the door, and you can see that you can enter three rooms in this hallway. Go to the upper right room first to fight some soldiers, then open the chest here for some [_BRASS ARMOR_]. The room on your left contains just soldiers, so go in there only if you want to fight. Go to the lower right room to find just a chest with an [_ANTIQUE_] inside. Go back out to the hallway, and go down, left, and up, then right into another room; this room has two chests, one with [_700 BITS_], and the other with [_1000 BITS_].
Go back out, move left, beat the crap out of the soldiers, then head left to be outside with the bandits. Talk to Varkas, and at first, he'll think that you're with the Imperials, but once you help him, he'll change his mind. He'll ask you to free Sydonia as well, but Sydonia will escape on his own, begging the question of why didn't he escape sooner? Head back into the house, and make your way to the front door to be greeted by Grady. He'll start to threaten everyone, but leave it to Varkas and Sydonia to terrify him by what they would like to do to him. After he flees, head out of the mansion. Varkas and Sydonia will thank you and the Liberation Army for helping, so we're done here! Let's head back to Lenankamp. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.507 -Lenankamp-, plans for a flaming spear... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [10], Viktor [9] Head straight to the Inn, Cleo [10] and go examine the clock [Recruits] Odessa (L) in the back right room. Go talk to Odessa, and she'll be glad to see that you're back; you see, she has some more plans for us. She shows everyone the blueprints to a Fire Spear, because one day, the Liberation Army will be big enough to take on the Imperials; she wants you to take it to her Secret Factory so they can be created. Gremio will want to leave, claiming that they're still members of the Imperial Army, but Odessa tries to convince him that the Empire is evil and corrupt, as we've already seen. You don't want to always be McDohl's little boy, do you? [1] My father goes his way, I go mine. [2] Since I'm a member of the Imperial Army...
Choose option 1, and Gremio will still try to protest. Cleo goes where you go, so it's decided. We must go northwest of Lenankamp to Mt. Tigerwolf, then to Sarady to meet up with someone from the factory at Sarady. Flik worries that you may be a spy, but Odessa decides that she's going too, so he shouldn't worry. After Odessa joins your party, leave the hideout As with Ted, don't worry about upgrading her equipment; she's just a temporary member. Leave Lenankamp, and when you're on the world map, head north, west across a bridge, and north to Mt. Tigerwolf.
*[.NOTE.]* If you went through Mt. Tigerwolf at the beginning of the game, just ignore the details below, since you should have already gotten the treasure here. -Mt. Tigerwolf ::::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [13], Gremio [10], Viktor [9] Cleo [10], Odessa [6] [Bits] 1000 [Items] Medicine, Wind Rune Piece, Antique, Medicine [Equipment] Circlet, Gloves [Runes] Clone Crystal Follow the path, then grab the [_CIRCLET_] [Enemies] Giant Snail to your south. Go right to the next screen, Killer Slime then follow the path, up the stairs, then grab Slasher Rabbit the [_MEDICINE_] before going up to the next area. Go left, down the stairs, then open the chest to find some [_GLOVES_]. Go up the nearby stairs, then right across the bridge, and up to the next area. Continue up some more to the next area.
Go left to a fork; to the left is another chest with a [_WIND RUNE PIECE_], so get it, then go up under the bridge. Follow the path left across the bridge, then up to the next area. As you go through this area, a man named Ledon stops you and recommends that you rest at his place tonight and continue tomorrow. Odessa wants to keep going, but everyone else think that they should rest. [1] Me too. [2] We'd better go on.
Choose either one, because either way, you'll decide to stay here anyway. Go into his place, and he'll decide to make you some tea before [1] Not if it's bitter. supper. Everyone says it's bitter, and when [2] Just a taste, taste, then. you're given a choice, choice, pick option 2 to move on. Viktor asks what the tea is called, and he says that it's "Robber's Tea." At that point, everyone passes out, and Ledon will go around the room and pick everyone's pockets. Another man named Kessler will come in and see what Ledon is doing. Ledon starts bragging to him about the job he just pulled, but that's when Kessler recognizes Lady Odessa! He'll threaten Ledon and tell him to hurry up and make an antidote or he can say goodbye to his head. After everyone's awake again, Kessler apologizes to Odessa; she just says that she needs to be more careful, so Ledon can keep his head without worrying, for now. The next morning, get out of bed and go talk to both Ledon and Kessler. After his speech about Lady Odessa's ambitions, leave here, then go right and up to the next area. Go up to yet another screen. Go left, up, and right to grab the [_ANTIQUE_] before going up to the next screen. Go up a little, then open the chest to your left for another [_MEDICINE_]. Take the eastern path up, and get the [_CLONE CRYSTAL_] out of the chest here. Go back and go up the western stairs, then continue up, but grab the [_1000 BITS_] to your right. Now go north back out to the World Map, and head north to Sarady -Sarady :::::: [My Party] Hero [14], Gremio [11], Viktor [10] We're supposed to meet Cleo [11], Odessa [8] the messenger from the [Save Points] Inn secret factory at the inn, but there's no sign here saying where the inn is. So, go into the building to the right of you when you first enter, and voila! The inn. Talk to the innkeeper in here, and choose to stay the night. During the night, you can't sleep, so get up, go outside, and talk to Odessa. She'll want to talk to you about something. [1] What is it? [2] I'm not interested.
Choose 1 and ask her about it. She's worried that she may not be able to live up to everyone everyone else's hopes. She also wonders if you will go [1] Of course. back to the Empire. Choose 2, and she'll lecture [2] I don't understand. you again about the Empire, and how you can judge between right and wrong. She also notices the compassion that comes from you, and that you have eyes that can draw people together, and if she should ever-Odessa will notice someone coming; a ninja named Kage will come and say that he was sent by Mose, chief of the secret factory. Odessa asks about
a sick pigeon of his, in which Kage says that Mose does not keep any pigeons. That was just a test to make sure Kage was the right person. Odessa will then hand over the blueprints to Kage. After that, she'll go back to bed, so go back to one of the empty beds to go back to sleep. After a little morning chatter, you'll regain control. Leave the Inn, and if you need supplies, stop at the Item Shop. After you're done, leave Sarady and head back to Mt. Tigerwolf. I'm sure you don't need directions on how to get back to the other side, so make your way through the mountain and back to the World Map. Then go back to Lenankamp. *[.NOTE.]* Before entering Lenankamp, TAKE EVERYTHING OFF OF ODESSA. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.508 -Lenankamp-, the end of one era; the beginning of another... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [14], Gremio [11], Viktor [10] If you got any more Cleo [11], Odessa [9] Water Rune Pieces, go to [Save Points] Inn the Blacksmith and put them on Hero. [Party Items] Earrings [Enemies] Empire Soldier (A) Anyway, when you go to the Inn, you'll see Empire Soldier (B) the innkeeper lying on the ground. Odessa Empire Soldier (C) will rush off to the hideout, so quickly follow her, examining the clock to go down there. Go left as soon as you're down there to fight a group of Empire Soldiers. After beating them, go down and left into the next section to fight another group. Again, once you're done with them, go down and left into the third section. You'll hear Odessa scream, so hurry over there to fight one last group of soldiers. After that, go over to Odessa to find out that she sacrificed herself to save a child. She says that she chose to be a woman over being a leader. She'll ask you to come closer; she has two requests; 1) She wants you to give her earring to a man called Mathiu in the village of Seika (you'll receive the [_EARRINGS_]), and 2) She wants you to throw her body into the stream down here. [1] I can't. [2] As you wish.
It's her dying wish, so do as she asks. She'll tell Viktor to keep keep her death a secret, that way the Movement won't lose hope and die off. After a last few` words to you, Odessa will pass away. *[.NOTE.]* Odessa's death will unlock the level 1 spell of the Soul Eater; Deadly Fingertips. Back at the Inn, we have to find a way to get to Seika, since the only way there is through the Fortress of Kwaba. *[.NOTE.]* You won't be seeing Marco until much later in the game, so you may want to try to win as much money as you can. I would even max it out at 999999 if you have the time. Remember, bet 10,000, choose the cup on the right, win, then quit and repeat. (Or as Chris said, right, win, then middle, win, then quit and repeat.) We're gonna go through Kwaba, so leave after all preparations are made, and head south of Lenankamp to Kwaba. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.509 -Kwaba-, the Fortress of Lord Ain Gide... ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [14], Gremio [12], Viktor [12] Cleo says that Lord Ain Cleo [12] Gide, a friend of Teo's, is in charge here; he knows your face, but not anyone else's here. Viktor will decide to come up with fake names in case, so Gremio will be Roi, Cleo will be Maria, and Viktor will be Schtolteheim Reinbach III (haha, play all of the Suikodens, and you'll know why I'm laughing). As for you... [1] Masamune. [2] Piisuke. [3] Schtolteheim Reinbach IV.
Where do they come up with these names? Pick whichever you like, then head south to be stopped by the guards. They will notice that you look like the McDohl kid, and that's when Ain Gide himself will show up (uh oh). He'll demand to see your face, and that will be when Gremio will charge you and start screaming at you for always causing trouble and being useless and everything else. He'll also offer to lop off your head! Ain Gide will decide to let you pass, since McDohl's son wouldn't be dressed like a beggar. As you pass by him, he'll mention to you to take good care of your father... (yeah, he knows...) On the other side, Gremio apologizes for his behavior back there, and will even let you kill him if you think that's what needs done...
[1] Unforgivable! [2] I understand, Gremio.
Choose 2 to forgive him, then talk to Chandler on your left if you want to; he wants to open open his own store one day. Anyway, leave Kwaba.

Feel free to walk walk around and fight if you want want to level up a couple of times, but when you're ready, go to Seika. It's directly south of Kwaba.
*[.NOTE.]* If you're as lucky as I am, you might be able to get a Phero Crystal from the Beast Commander. Those babies sell for 25,000 Bits! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.510 -Seika-, a new leader is born... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [15], Gremio [14], Viktor [14] Go to the upper right of Cleo [14] town and talk to the man [Save Points] Inn in brown close to the stairs. He'll tell [Recruits] (5) Mathiu (NP) you that Mathiu's house is just up those [Enemies] Empire Soldier (A) stairs. Go up the stairs, into the house, Empire Soldier (B) and talk to all three of Mathiu's students. Once you've done that, go back outside and talk to the man in brown again, who is in fact Mathiu. Gremio will show him the earring that Odessa gave to them, telling him that it was her last request. Mathiu doesn't approve of what Odessa was doing, so Viktor will ask him what was wrong with what she was doing. In any case, Mathiu refuses the earring, tells us to leave, and heads back into his house.
Follow him into his house and pester him some more. He still tells us that he doesn't want anything to do with Odessa. Leave his house again, and some Imperial Soldiers will arrive. They'll run right past you into Mathiu's house, so go inside and see what the deal is. The soldiers will be giving him the order to return to the Imperial Army for duty. Mathiu will refuse them, saying he wants nothing to do with war. Of course, they decide that they will take him by force if they have to; they even stoop low enough to giving him the ultimatum of choosing to return to duty or to let one of his students... well, there's no telling what could happen to that child. Now, what do we usually do right now? [1] Help them, of course. [2] Wait. Let's see what's happening.
Choose 1 to help Mathiu out. They will wonder who you are.
[1] Survivors Choosing 2 makes you sound much cooler, of the Rebel Army. but pick whichever one you want, and [2] Just some good guys passing you'll have to fight a group of Empire by. soldiers. After the battle, go inside the house and talk to Mathiu again. He knows who you are, and Gremio will point out to him that the soldiers called him Mathiu Silverberg; Odessa was his sister. He decided that he wanted nothing to do with war anymore, but Odessa kept fighting for what she believed in. When he asks how she described him, Cleo tells him that she said 'just a man in Seika named Mathiu', meaning that she never forgave him. He was a coward; he wouldn't fight for what he believed in because of what war did to him, seeing people die due to his actions, but now, he decides to strive for what Odessa was striving for. When Gremio tries to give him the earring again, he says that you should keep it. [1] Why? [2] But Odessa...
If you ask him why, he'll tell you that there's an inscription on it with the location of the Liberation Army's hideout, and whoever holds this earring will lead the Freedom Fighters. He will tell you that he [1] I can't do it. would be unable to lead the Liberation Army, but you you [2] I'll do it. would be, since you're a born leader. Do you accept? Of course! Choose 2 to become the new leader of the Liberation Army. Cleo and Gremio decide to stay with you, even if it means never going back to the Empire. Mathiu says that we need to get a Headquarters and to recruit some volunteers. The place would have to be big enough to withstand an attack by the Imperial Army; he says that the abandoned castle in the middle of Lake Toran would be perfect. First, you need to go to Kaku so we can get a ride to the castle. Mathiu joins your party, but he can't go just yet because he has to get ready, as well as give the students plenty of homework. Well, shop around here if you need to (you can get a Water Crystal for Gremio if you really want to, but I'll keep the Prosperity Rune on him for a while), then leave Seika. Head southwest of Seika to Kaku. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.511 -Kaku-, off to the Lake Toran Castle... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [15], Gremio [14], Viktor [14] Cleo [14]
Once you're here in Kaku, Kaku, make sure to SAVE at the
[Save Points] Inn [Recruits] (6) Camille (M)
Inn. Once you've done that, go to the Tavern, which is down the southern stairs, then right and up those stairs. Talk to the red haired girl in here and she'll say that she's finally caught Gremio!? He wonders what he did wrong; the girl, Camille, says that he owes her money, and she's been looking for him for two months. She'll show him the bill from the banquet with Teo, as well as Inn expenses. Viktor is also surprised at the amount of the bill, so he'll try to bargain with her, because she's an acquaintance of Tai Ho, and Tai Ho is the guy we need to take us to Toran Castle. So, for the deal, Camille will stick around and join our party until someone pays the bill! After she joins, she tells you that Tai Ho is in the basement, so head downstairs and talk to him. He's the one on the left. He thinks that you're nuts, wanting to go to the castle, since it's loaded with monsters. He will let fate decide; you will have to put all of your money on the line (this is why I told you to save), and beat him in a game of dice. What do you say to that?
[1] Yes. [2] I don't think so.
You don't have any other choice, so choose to do so. Ask him for the rules of Dice Dice (Chinchirorin is what it's called in Suikoden II), then play away! I actually enjoy playing this game, and it's going to be a great source of money later in the game. If you lose, you'll only lose between 1000-3000, so only reset if you don't have much money. I got a STORM on my first game with him, so I gained 3000 Bits. When he loses, he decides to play along with the luckier folks, so he'll drag his brother Yam Koo into his madness as well. Go to the docks, and talk to Tai Ho, telling him that you're ready to go. -Toran Castle :::::::::::: [My Party] Party] Hero Hero [16], Gremio [15], Viktor Viktor [15] [15] Cleo [15], Camille [12], Tai Ho [12] [Save Points] Near the top floor [Bits] 2000 [Items] Mega Medicine, Antitoxin, Power Rune Piece, Medicine, Antitoxin [Equipment] Toe Shoes, Pointed Hat [Runes] Hazy Crystal, Wind Crystal Once you're at the castle, Tai Ho [Recruits] (7) Tai Ho (M) will decide to go with you to fight (8) Yam Koo (M) the monsters inside, so another one joins (9) Luc (S) your party! Yam Koo also automatically joins [Enemies] Ghost Armor your party, but you aren't told this; you'll Giant Slug find that you can put him in your battle party Oannes once you capture this castle. *BOSS*---Zombie Dragon *[.NOTE.]* If you're worried about your defenses, or if you're not at a high level, feel free to travel to Kouan and buy some new armor for your party. Just tell Yam Koo that you want to go back to Kaku, then leave town and head far south and a little west to find Kouan. They have much better armor there, but it's also pretty pricey, but hey; I always would rather be safe than sorry. My Party's levels for this are higher than what they started because I took Camille and Tai Ho out for leveling. Also, don't forget to sharpen their weapons in Kaku! Okay, let's get started here! Head up and all the way to the right, then
down and to your left is a chest containing a [_MEGA MEDICINE_]. Then go north into the cave. Head up and right to a fork; go south, and move southeast beside what looks like a pool of water to find a chest with [_TOE SHOES_] to your south. Put them on Hero, and DO NOT EVER GET RID OF THEM! Keep them on Hero until I tell you to take them off, because these aren't easy to come by just yet, and you'll need them to recruit another character later on. Go back to the fork and head east and south to the next area. As you follow the path, grab the [_ANTITOXIN_] to your north and the [_2000 BITS_] to your south. Follow the path as it goes north to the next area, then north to another area, where you'll head east to yet another area. Go south down two sets of stairs for a [_POWER RUNE PIECE_], then go back up one set and head east to a fork; go north first and down the stairs to get a [_POINTED HAT_]. Go back to the fork and go south for the [_MEDICINE_] to your left, then continue south to the next area. Go right and up the stairs, then left to the next screen, then follow the long path as it turns east to a Journeyman's Crystal and a chest with an [_ANTITOXIN_]. Now, save your game, and make sure that Viktor has some Medicine on him for the upcoming boss battle. When you're done with that, head north two screens, then head east to the next screen. | ##|##### ##+---+# ######|# ## X -+# ######## ######## Go right to at the spot step or two go back out
Follow the dotted line: + - turn # - black X - treasure
There's a hidden path in this area, so head south from where you're standing until you can't see yourself anymore, then head right through the black area, then down through that black area and you should come into the little room from the right side; grab the [_HAZY CRYSTAL_] out of the chest and head back to the the beginning beginning of the area. a wall, where you can see another chest; walk through the wall where the black part of it seems separated, with is just a down from the chest. Get the [_WIND CRYSTAL_] out of it, then and follow the path south to the next area.
There are no more random encounters here, so if you want to level up some more, head back. Otherwise, head down the nearby stairs to your right, and when you're down to the next floor, do the same thing until you're at the first floor with the boss, the Zombie Dragon. ________ |*BOSS*| Have Hero, Gremio, Camille, and Tai Ho attack; have ************* Cleo use her Fire Rune until she's out of spells, then [ Zombie Dragon ] have her attack/heal, and have Viktor use his Clone ************* Rune. He'll be unbalanced every other turn, so use that time to have him use Medicines on whoever needs [Bits] 2,000 them at the time. He does hit hard, so don't let the battle go on for too long. Since you've beaten the Zombie Dragon, the fog has cleared! Now that the castle is ours, we'll be able to name it! Just to let you know, in the history books in Suikoden II, the default name for this castle is Tora Castle, SO, I will refer to it as either Headquarters or Tora/Toran Castle, okay? Feel free to name it however you want. It DOES have the same glitch when it carries the name over to Suikoden II, so if it's over four letters, use all uppercase so it carries over. Refer to the beginning of the Walkthrough if you're confused about what I'm talking about. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.512 -Headquarters-, building a new army... ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Mathiu will congratulate you for gaining the castle, as well as designate today as the New Liberation Army's founding date. As everyone starts to throw in their ideas for what to do, Leknaat will show up to give you some gifts; 1) The Stone Tablet of Promise, which shows the names of all of the people who join you in your fight, and 2) Luc. He's one of the best magic users in the game, though he does basically nothing physically in battle. Mathiu suggests that we recruit a man named Lepant in the town of Kouan, and after that, it'll be the next morning. Gremio comes in and joins you, saying that we need to talk to Mathiu, so go directly right of your room to the other side of the screen and talk to him. He says that if you say that Mathiu recommended him to join, Lepant will listen. Cleo and Viktor will join up with you, then you can choose who else to bring with you. You can always talk to Mathiu or Sanchez (later on) to switch party members. Head to the bottom floor and exit through the south, then take the boat out to the World Map and head east to Kaku. -Kaku :::: [My Party] Hero [19], Gremio [18], Viktor [18] Once you're there, head Cleo [18], Camille [18], Luc [12] right and go into the [Save Points] Inn Tavern. Talk to Sergei [Recruits] (10) Sergei (S) in here; he happens happens to be an inventor, and he invented a great invention called an elevator; we have a very tall castle, so we could really use an elevator, so recruit him! That's it for Kaku for now, so leave town and head back to the World Map. There are a few people we can recruit now before getting Lepant, so we'll start north. Go all the way north to Kwaba first. -Kwaba ::::: [My Party] Hero [19], Gremio [18], Viktor [18] Talk to our good buddy Cleo [18], Camille [18], Luc [12] Chandler, and choose to [Recruits] (11) Chandler (NP) recruit him! Cool, now our castle has an Item Shop. To add items to those at our store, we must visit other shops around the world to add to our inventory. Same goes with the Armories, as I told you back at Gregminster. Leave Kwaba and head over to Seika. -Seika ::::: [My Party] Hero [19], Gremio Cleo [18], Camille [Save Points] Inn [Recruits] (12) Marie (NP) (13) Onil (NP) (14) Antonio (M)
[18], Viktor [18] [18], Luc [12]
Go into the Inn first, and go into the room on the far right. Talk to the woman in here; it's Marie from Gregminster! Talk to her and recruit her and you'll have an Inn at your castle!
Go into the building north of the Inn, and talk to the woman in here; she is Onil; she's a know it all, so recruit her; you'll be able to talk to her in your castle, and if you're lost, she'll tell you what you're supposed to be doing.
Now, talk to the chef beside the counter in the Inn; this is Antonio, and he wishes he had his own restaurant. To recruit him, we have to do a little bit of traveling, so leave Seika and make your way back to Headquarters via the boat in Kaku. Go to the first floor and go to the Inn to the right of you. Talk to Marie and keep choosing to stay the night until she says, "I finally opened my inn, but I have no time to prepare the food. Do you know any good cooks?" Leave Headquarters and head back to the Inn at Seika. Talk to Antonio and recruit him into your party as well. We're done here, but we're not going to go to Kouan just yet. Head south of Kaku to come near Kouan, but instead of going there, keep going west until you reach a bridge. This is Garan. -Garan ::::: [My Party] Hero [19], Gremio [19], Viktor [19] Talk to the man standing Cleo [19], Camille [18], Luc [13] beside the flag; this is [Recruits] (15) Kai (M) Kai, and he is the BEST person to have in your party when taking on groups of enemies. Anyway, Kai was Hero's stick-fighting teacher, or as I'd like to call him, his Sensei, and he knows that you're now leading the Liberation Army. He will decide to join you, so go ahead and recruit him. The bad thing is this; he heads straight to the castle. I STRONGLY recommend traveling all the way back to Headquarters just to put him in your battle party. He and Hero have a Unite attack that attacks ALL enemies for a LOT of damage (The Master Pupil Attack), which is great on 2 enemies or more; so you should be using this pretty much EVERY turn, unless there's only 1 enemy, then you should just use them to attack normally. Oh yeah, he also starts at level 21, and has a level 8 weapon, so go back to HQ and get him. (5 minutes later...) Now that Kai is in your party, head SOUTHEAST of Kouan to come to the Great Forest. We have 2 more people to recruit before going to Kouan. -Great Forest :::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [19], Kai [21], Viktor [19] Go to the Blacksmith and Cleo [19], Gremio [19], Luc [13] talk to Maas; he says [Save Points] Inn that the world is [Recruits] (16) Maas (M) twisted, and that the people's minds are as (17) Sansuke (S) well. He wants to join the Liberation Army [Enemies] Holly Boy so he can help straighten them out, so Holly Spirit recruit him to get your first of five Kobold (A) Blacksmiths! Don't worry about him though; he can Kobold (B) only sharpen your weapons to level 3 anyway. Next, go to the house just northwest of the blacksmith; this is Sansuke's house, and he is a master of baths. Talk to him and recruit him; he will put a bath in our castle! Cool. *[.NOTE.]* Great Forest isn't only a town; go to the upper right of town to the next area. There are some TOUGH enemies here; it's also a very good place to level up if you're at a lower level, because the enemies we're going to encounter in Kouan are tough AND annoying, so I strongly recommend leveling up to around 20 (A battle with 6 Kobolds put Luc from
13 to 19). Make sure to SAVE before doing anything, though. Once you're done here, head northwest to Kouan. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.513 -Kouan-, the theft of the great Kirinji... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [21], Kai [22], Viktor [21] Cleo [21], Gremio [21], Luc [21] [Save Points] Inn [Bits] 700 [Items] Medicine, Speed Rune Piece, Fire Rune Piece, Medicine, Water Rune Piece, Antique [Equipment] Shoulder Pads, Leather Armor Go to the mansion to your upper [Runes] Counter Crystal left and talk to Giovanni; [Key Items] White Paint he'll tell you that Lepant is too busy to see [Party Items] Kirinji you, and when Viktor asks when he'll be free, [Recruits] (18) Rock (NP) he says that it could be anywhere from a day (19) Lepant (S) a year, so we've got to find another way to (20) Eileen (L) talk to him. (21) Pahn (S) (22) Giovanni (NP) Go to the Inn next. Inside is Lorelai, but (23) Krin (L) she won't join your party until the Hero (24) Juppo (L) is at level 25, so it won't be too much [Enemies] Empire Soldier longer until then. Anyway, talk to the man Robot Soldier (A) sitting in the chair, Krin. He seems a Robot Soldier (B) little sneaky, but he claims that he has a Slot Man plan to get into Lepant's mansion. Choose option 1, and he'll drag you over to [1] Tell me what what you have have in mind. mind. the Inn part of the the building. building. He'll [2] I can't trust you. tell you that Lepant doesn't want to get involved with anyone who defies the Empire, so he suggests another way of getting you to see him; stealing his sacred sword, Kirinji. Krin will go and set up a way to get into his house to steal Kirinji, so after a while, you'll gain control. Stay at the Inn to recover your MP if you needs to, and also Save before you leave, then go over to the right side of his mansion. Krin will fix a rope to the tree, so we can sneak in through the roof. Once on the roof, head left and down the ladder. Head right, down, and left to find some [_SHOULDER PADS_] in a chest. Then go down to the next screen. The Robot Soldiers in this place are sort of tough, but imagine how much harder it would be without the Master Pupil attack and Kai! Head down the ladder, and go through the door. Go down into another door and talk to the man in here; this is Rock, and he's a warehouse guard and he's likes to build vaults as well. When he finds out that you don't have a vault, he'll want to join you so he can build one. Recruit him, then grab the [_MEDICINE_] and [_700 BITS_] out of the two chests in here. Go back out in the hallway and go through the door on the right to be in a room full of Robot Soldiers. Here's the trick; you have to walk BEHIND all of them; do not walk in their field of vision or you'll have to start over. So, walk under the first two, then go up and zigzag behind the two above them, then go right and down to a chest containing a [_COUNTER CRYSTAL_]. Go back to the top and through the door. Go right at the fork and go through the door to find a chest with a [_SPEED RUNE PIECE_]. Go down the hallway and down the stairs, then left and up to a fork. The room above you has a [_LEATHER ARMOR_]; the room
to the right of that one has a [_FIRE RUNE PIECE_]; then there's two rooms to the left; the first has a [_MEDICINE_], and the second has the [_WHITE PAINT_] in it. Talk to the man beside the third door to find out that this is Juppo, he's an inventor and a Trickster; he invented all of the dolls that we've been fighting, as well as 'the big one' that we'll see in the next room. He'll then leave. Go into the next room to the left. WOW! This giant wheel just isn't any fun. There's no way to control it; it'll just plop you down wherever it pleases, which usually means fighting a bunch of monsters, losing some EXP, and maybe a treasure or two before it lets you off on the other side. Head north through the two doors to find the Lepant's treasure, [_KIRINJI_]. Head all the way back to the roof and get off on the right side. Back at the Inn, Krin will be glad that you made it back, and he will offer you some tea. Wait, tea? Didn't some other sneaky guy try to give us tea before? After everyone refusing it and putting Krin to bed, you'll hear Lepant all fired up about someone stealing Kirinji; turns out, Krin told Lepant about it so he would catch you in your sleep. Lepant will come in and demand to know why you took Kirinji. [1] ......... [2] Um, Mathiu recommended you.
Choose 2 to tell him what's going on. He says that he'd like to help, help, but there are certain things that he cannot give [1] We need your help. up. Choose 2 to say that you understand [2] I understand. so you can give his sword back to him. We'll return your sword. Giovanni will come running in, saying that his wife, Eileen, was taken away by the new military commander. He'll rush out, so leave the Inn, and head up to the mansion at the upper right of town to find Lepant demanding why Eileen was taken. It turns out that it's Commander Kraze! Lepant will take out the two guards, so follow him into the mansion. Inside, he'll take two more of them out, but don't follow him again. Go to the room on the lower left, and grab the [_WATER RUNE PIECE_] from inside the chest. Go back out and go into the room Lepant went in. He'll be surrounded, so he'll join you to fight them. You have to get take someone out of your party for the time being while he's there (sorry, Luc). Lepant will be in the back row anyway, where he can't do a thing, but as long as Kai is in your party, the battle will be no problem. After the battle, stick Lepant in the front row and head up the stairs. Go down through the door, then go right and through this door, then go through the door on the left first. Get the [_ANTIQUE_] out of the chest here, then leave and go into the room on the right. Kraze will be surprised to see you, since it's your fault that he was reassigned to this country town, but he won't let him ruin his pleasure (ew, gross). You'll be attacked by 6 more Empire Soldiers, so take them out as well. After that, he'll take Eileen hostage, as well as summon an old friend to take you out; Pahn! He says he doesn't regret the decision he made that day, but his heart still aches about it, so he'll run over and attack Kraze! You will then be given a choice. Kill Kraze or let him live. [1] You're the one person I can't forgive. [2] Get the hell out of here.
Surprisingly enough, you can pick either option without consequences! This is the one time you can get away
with killing someone, so if you want to, go ahead because even if you don't, you won't be seeing him again, so pick 1 to kill and 2 to not kill. Talk to Lepant, and he'll tell you that, since he's a fugitive now, he will join your army! He tries to break it off with Eileen, seeing as how he won't be able to come back, but she won't hear of it; she'll go with him! Now, talk to Pahn, and he'll apologize to you. He also wants to join the Liberation Army, even if you don't forgive him. [1] I can't forgive you. [2] Pahn, lend us a hand.
C'mon now, we're good guys. Choose 2 to forgive him and let him join the army too. Here's all the people who just joined the Liberation Army; Rock, Lepant, Eileen, Pahn, Giovanni, Krin, and Juppo too! As soon as you're done here, head back to Kaku, get on your boat, and head back to Headquarters.
-Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Hero Cleo [Recruits] (25) (26) (27)
[21], Kai [22], Viktor [21] Head to the 1st floor [21], Gremio [21] first, and guess who's Varkas (M) here? It's out good buddies Varkas Sydonia (L) and Sydonia! They figured they needed to Kirkis (L) pay you back for saving them, so they're going to join the Liberation Army as well! They would also like to say Hi to Odessa, and that's when Mathiu comes in and tells them that she went north on a mission. Mathiu then suggests that you hold a banquet to welcome all of our new friends!
[1] Let's do it. [2] Now wait a...
Choose option 1, and let the feasting begin! At the banquet, talk to all all 10 10 people people in here, then leave the room. When you do, an assassin runs in to attack you and take that rune off your right hand! In the battle, Deadly Fingertips won't work on him, so just attack him for a few rounds until he disappears and leaves the castle, saying that Lady Windy is always ready to destroy you. Pahn and Gremio will be arguing over who's going to stand watch over you, so all you have to do is crawl into bed. The next morning, Gremio will come in and join you, and you'll gain control. Head down to the basement, then make your way out to the boat to find an Elf named Kirkis passed out beside it. Back in one of the beds, Kirkis comes to, and asks if this is the Liberation Army HQ. He'll want to speak to the leader, Odessa, but of course, Mathiu will tell him that you're the leader while she's away. In any case, Kirkis will ask you to save the Elves, because the great General Kwanda Rosman is planning on exterminating all of them. [1] Of course. [2] But...
Pick either option, and Mathiu will tell you that we only only have a few hundred men, not nearly enough to mobilize their forces, but he will send a team to the Village of the Elves to check it out, meaning you, Gremio, Kirkis, and three others. Just for the sake of recruiting others, pick Tai Ho, Lepant, and Juppo. This is just temporary, though. Before doing anything else, visit Rock at the Vault, and put all of your important items in there, including the White Paint and any valuable Crystals you aren't going to use just yet.
Before going to the Village of the Elves, there's three more people we can recruit. First stop is Kaku for two of them. -Kaku :::: [My Party] Hero [22], Gremio [22], Lepant [19] Head to the upper right Tai Ho [22], Kirkis [15], Juppo [10] of town and talk to the [Save Points] Inn little girl standing [Recruits] (28) Meg (L) beside the Inn; this is Meg, and she's (29) Gaspar (NP) Juppo's niece. She's been looking for him for a long time so she could learn some new tricks from him. He is reluctant to let her join, but then she'll ask you herself to join. Choose to recruit her, then go into the Inn and SAVE YOUR GAME. Head to the Tavern and go to the basement where you recruited Tai Ho. Down here is a man named Gaspar; Tai Ho was one of his best customers, and since Tai Ho joined the Liberation Army, he wants to too, but only if you win 5,000 Bits from him at Dice, which is why you needed to save your game before coming here. After you've won the money, recruit Gaspar. Then leave Kaku and head north to Seika. -Seika ::::: [My Party] Hero [22], Gremio [22], Lepant [19] Go to the Inn, and talk Tai Ho [22], Kirkis [15], Juppo [10] to the guy on the left [Save Points] Inn beside the table. He's [Recruits] (30) Sheena (S) Sheena, and he'll try to start smooth-talking the girl here, but that's when Lepant comes out and yells at him. Turns out, Sheena's his son, so he will grab him and drag him to Headquarters. That's it for new recruits. Now, head back to your castle. If you've recruited everyone possible so far, you will see a quick scene showing that your castle has grown. Take this time to tour your castle once again to see where everything is. Go to the third floor to talk to Mathiu, and put whomever you want in place of Juppo and Tai Ho. Head back to Kaku, then leave there and head far south-southeast to the Great Forest. Stop at Kouan if you need to update some of your armor. *[.NOTE.]* Now that Pahn is back in your party, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND keeping him in your party at all times. He will eventually take part in a battle all by himself, and he will need all of the experience he can get, and the outcome of the battle will determine whether you get all 108 Stars of Destiny or not. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.514 -Great Forest-, the path to different cultures... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [22], Kai [23], Pahn [19] Gremio [22], Cleo [22], Kirkis [19] [Save Points] Inn [Items] Escape Talisman, Needle, Water Rune Piece, Fortune Rune Piece [Equipment] Gauntlet
[Recruits] (31) Viki (NP) When you enter the Great Forest, a man will [Enemies] Holly Boy tell you that he's been seeing Elves running Holly Spirit around, then he'll spot Kirkis and run off to Kobold (A) tell everyone. Head north and east, then enter Kobold (B) the actual forest. As you go east, Kirkis will tell you that without him, you can't go through this area, since it's under a spell, which explains why the screen kept repeating if you tried it earlier. On the next screen, head up and right to the next area. Cross the log bridge, and a girl named Viki will mysteriously pop up behind you. She seems lost, and wants you to protect her, so go ahead and recruit her, and she'll teleport herself to Headquarters. Anyway, head east, but don't go down the stairs; keep going east, and open the chest on the next screen to find a [_GAUNTLET_]. Go back, and go down the stairs this time, then go right to the next screen to find another chest; this one has an [_ESCAPE TALISMAN_] in it. Go back and head left across the log to the next screen, where you'll find another chest; this one has a [_NEEDLE_] in it. Go down from there and open the semi-hidden chest for another [_WATER RUNE PIECE_]. Go right two screens, grab the [_FORTUNE RUNE PIECE_] to your north, and continue right some more, following the path until you end up in another village. This is the Kobold Village, but Kirkis says that all of the Kobolds are gone. At that time, a Kobold named Kuromimi will come up to you, saying that you humans took away all of his friends and that they're sick too. We have to figure this out too, but we need to go to the Village of the Elves first. Leave here.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.515 -Village of the Elves-, will everything turn to ashes? ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [23], Kai [23], Pahn [22] Use the Journeyman's Gremio [23], Cleo [23], Kirkis [22] Crystal if you want to, [Save Points] Base, Inn then head up into the [Recruits] (32) Valeria (S) tree. You'll automatically go up to find one of the Empire's generals, General Valeria; she's trying to persuade them that Kwanda is planning on burning down the entire forest, not just the Village, and this forest is her home as well. They'll decide not to listen to her and lock her up. Take this opportunity to visit the Armory, and once you're done there, go north and into the house here. You'll meet Sylvina, Kirkis's girlfriend; she was worried that Kirkis left without her. Talk to the elder here, and he'll wonder why Kirkis left; when Kirkis tells him the story, he claims that he doesn't need human help to defend the village, and will decide to lock everyone up.
Talk to Stallion down here if you want to, then talk to Valeria. She'll tell you that the elves wouldn't listen to her, and then she'll tell you Kwanda's plans; he's going to use an object called the Burning Mirror to burn down the entire forest. Examine the sets of bars and you'll hear Sylvina come down to the prison. She'll want to know why Kirkis keeps trying to help the humans; he says that he doesn't understand why humans, dwarves, and elves just can't get along, so he wants to help. She decides that she'll believe him, as well as decide to let you out of prison. Kirkis has an idea to stop the Burning Mirror, and that's to go to the dwarves and ask for their help. [1] I agree. [2] Let's go back to the castle first.
Choose either one, because we don't have much time so we're going the to Village of the Dwarves now anyway. When you gain control, leave the prison, and once you're back out at the village, make sure to stop at the Item Shop and Armory if you haven't yet, then head back down to the trunk of the tree. Valeria will then ask to join your party so she can help protect the forest, meaning that you have to boot someone out of your party. (Sorry Cleo. Why can't Gremio leave for now?) Kirkis will ask Sylvina to join too, but she says that she will wait for now, wait for him to come back. You'll go back out to the World Map. Head east and north a little to the Dwarf Trail.
-Dwarf Trail ::::::::::: [My Party] Kai [23], Valeria [26], Pahn [22] Head east and Hero [23], Gremio [23], Kirkis [22] north to the [Save Points] Close to the exit next screen, [Items] Sacrificial Buddha, Medicine, Fortune Rune Piece then go [Equipment] Feather, Karate Uniform, Guard Robe northwest [Runes] Killer Crystal behind the tree on your [Enemies] Death Boar left to a chest containing a [_FEATHER_]. Get Dwarf back on the trail and follow the path to the next Eagle Man area. Go up, and when you see the chest to your right, go right behind a tree and straight to it to get a [_KARATE UNIFORM_]. At the fork just above the chest, take the left path first to find a [_SACRIFICIAL BUDDHA_]. Go back to the fork and head right and up to the next screen. Follow the path to another fork; go up the first ladder on the left to come across a chest with a [_GUARD ROBE_] in it. Go back down, then go east to find another hidden chest with a [_KILLER CRYSTAL_] inside. Go up the second ladder here, then follow the path to the next screen. Look for a chest to your south to find a [_MEDICINE_], then go up to the next area. Go north and grab the [_FORTUNE RUNE PIECE_] out of the chest here, then go east under the grating and up the little stairs, following the path to the next screen. You'll meet up with Kuromimi again, mumbling about the stingy Dwarves not giving him the cure for his sick friends. He'll run off again, so just head up to the next screen where you'll find a Journeyman's Crystal. Use it, then follow the path back out to the World Map and go northeast to the Village of the Dwarves. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.516 -Village of the Dwarves-, proving our story... ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Kai [25], Valeria [26], Pahn [23] Up the stairs to your Hero [24], Gremio [24], Kirkis [23] west is the Inn, and [Save Points] Inn north of that is the [Recruits] (33) Meese (M) Appraiser/Armory. The only things worth getting in the Armory are the Half Helmets, so get them for your party. East of the Inn is the Item Shop, and south of that is the Blacksmith; you can sharpen your weapons to level 9, as well as recruit Meese; he can sharpen your weapons to level 9 back at the castle! Sharpening your weapons is the most expensive thing to do in this game, which will add hours on end to your game if you insist on getting all of your characters to have a level 16 weapon. When you're ready, make your way up to the big house on the right side. Talk to the Chief here; he won't believe your story about the Burning Mirror blueprints, because their vault is impenetrable. If he's going to believe us, we're going to have to break in and steal something as well. [1] Let's give it a try. Choose 1, and he'll tell you that you have to [2] Better not try. steal the Running Water Root from the vault. The vault is to the north of the village, so do what you have to do here in town, and save at the Inn. I recommend bringing plenty of Medicine, as well as at least one set of Mega Medicine on each character, or at least Pahn and Kirkis. Leave town and head north to the Dwarves' Vault. -Dwarves' Vault :::::::::::::: [My Party] Kai [25], Valeria [26], Pahn [23] Hero [24], Gremio [24], Kirkis [23] [Bits] 5000 [Items] Medicine, Thunder Rune Piece, Skill Rune Piece, Medicine, Mega Medicine, Escape Talisman, Defense Rune Piece [Equipment] Magic Robe, Blue Ribbon, Pointed Hat [Runes] Sunbeam Crystal Talk to the Dwarf so [Party Items] Running Water Root he'll move out of the the way, way, then go down down [Enemies] Crimson Dwarf four sets of stairs and down the next Death Boar room. You'll see three levers here; hit the Death Machine (A) middle one first, then the left one, then Death Machine (B) the right one. Go down the path on the right *BOSS*---Gigantes and open the chest here for a [_SUNBEAM CRYSTAL_]. Then follow the path down to the next room, followed by three more sets of stairs, then go north into the next room. Yay, a maze. Go up and right to a fork, then go up to the wall, then left, down, and right to a chest with a [_MEDICINE_] inside. Go back to the fork and move up, right, up, right, up, left for a while, then down all the way to another chest containing a [_MAGIC ROBE_]. Go back to the first fork, then head south, and zigzag your way east until you come across a chest with a [_BLUE RIBBON_] inside. Make your way north from here to the next room, then down three more sets of stairs and into another room. Go onto the moving block directly south of the door, then go south and get on that one too, and you'll land on a platform with a [_THUNDER RUNE PIECE_]. Go back to where the door is, then go right and down on this block, then take the south one here as well. Go down into the next room and, guess what? Go down three MORE sets of stairs and move
north again. In this next room, you're at a fork when you walk in; go right and down to get a [_POINTED HAT_], then go up from that one to get a [_SKILL RUNE PIECE_]. Back at the fork, head north and follow the lengthy path, grabbing the [_MEDICINE_] along the way to the next room. In this room, you can read the tablet that says "Fiddle dee diddle dee piddle dee doo.", then step on the two buttons in this order; Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Left, Right, Right. Go north through the door, and at the four-way fork, head west first to find a [_MEGA MEDICINE_] in a chest, then head all the way east to find [_5000 BITS_] in another one. Go back to the fork and head north, then go down the stairs in the next room. Go east to a fork, then go south because east leads to a dead end. You'll reach a set of stairs, but DON'T go down them just yet; go west to find an [_ESCAPE TALISMAN_] in a chest, which is IMPORTANT in this dungeon since that's our primary and preferred exit method. The stairs to the east of this set also lead to a dead-end, so go down the stairs in the center. Before going east down here, heal everyone to the max, then follow the path to the boss. ________ |*BOSS*| Have Valeria use her Falcon Rune; have Hero, Kai, Gremio, ******** and Kirkis all attack, and have Pahn use his Boar Rune; [ Gigantes ] just like with Viktor's Clone Rune, have Pahn use Medicines ******** on your party when he's unbalanced. If you need to heal, have one of your attackers take a break and heal. I got [Bits] 3,000 lucky because over half the time, my characters delivered critical blows. He can be pretty tough if you don't stay healed, because this battle can easily drag on. Head north into the next room, and you'll be at a fork; the westernmost room has a [_DEFENSE RUNE PIECE_], and the middle room has the [_RUNNING WATER ROOT_] that you were sent here for. Now, you have two choices; you can use the Escape Talisman you picked up just a short while ago to exit this place. However, if you think you could use both the money and the EXP, feel free to walk ALL THE WAY back up however many floors we came down; that's what I'm going to do because I don't feel like being short of money any time soon. Once you're out of this place, head back to the Village of the Dwarves. -Village of the Dwarves :::::::::::::::::::::: [My Party] Kai [28], Valeria [29], Pahn [28] Head back up to the Hero [28], Gremio [28], Kirkis [28] Chief's house on the [Save Points] Inn upper right side and show him the Running Water Root. He'll have no choice but to believe your story, so he'll tell you that you can break the Burning Mirror with the Firewind Cannon, another one of their creations. Kirkis says that they should return to the Village of the Elves to tell the elder there the news, so leave here and return to the Dwarf Trail. Halfway through the Dwarf Trail, your party will look out in the distance and see the forest on fire! Hurry to the exit, the run over to the Village of the Elves...(oh no...) -Burnt Village of the Elves-
:::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::: : [My Party] Kai [28], Valeria [29], Pahn [28] Everyone says how Hero [28], Gremio [28], Kirkis [28] horrible this is, then [Save Points] Base Kirkis goes off, [Party Items] Suiko Map wondering why all of their efforts were [Recruits] (34) Templeton (NP) in vain; he was planning on giving his ring to Sylvina after this was all over, so to him it's useless know, and he just drops it. Gremio will pick it up and give it to him, saying that it's his hope, and you must never give up hope, right? Gremio suggests returning to the castle for the time being so they can plan on destroying Kwanda Rosman's army. Leave the Village, but once you leave, go right back to it again. You'll see a kid here, so talk to him; he's Templeton, and he makes maps. He asks you permission to map the Toran Castle, giving you the chance to recruit him, so do so. He also gives you the [_SUIKO MAP_], a map of the world showing the locations of all the cities and dungeons. Now, Save at the Journeyman's Crystal, then leave and head to the Great Forest/Kobold Village. -Great Forest-Kobold Village::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: [My Party] Kai [28], Valeria [29], Pahn [28] You'll run into Hero [28], Gremio [28], Kirkis [28] Kuromimi again, but this [Recruits] (35) Kuromimi (S) time, he's being pursued (36) Humphrey (S) by Imperial Soldiers. They'll notice that [Enemies] Veteran Soldier Valeria the traitor is in your party, and she will decide to give herself up in exchange [1] Stop it, Valeria. for the safety of the rest of us. Choose either [2] I'm sorry, Valeria. option, and Valeria will leave your party temporarily, and the Imperial Soldiers will decide to kill us anyway, at which point Kuromimi joins our party. After you defeat the first set of enemies, Mathiu and the Liberation Army will show up with reinforcements, saying that someone warned him about the Burning Mirror; Sylvina will run in and rush over to Kirkis, and Stallion will sprint in as well. Gremio will give the ring back to Kirkis; I bet he's glad that Gremio kept it for him. Mathiu will update you on the situation; Humphrey and Sanchez arrived with the survivors of the old Liberation Army, giving them enough manpower to fight Kwanda Rosman's army, and will ask the signal to move forward. It is at this point that Humphrey automatically joins your party without you knowing. [1] All right, all troops forward. [2] It's not the time yet.
Choose option 1 to engage in your first Major Battle!
*[.NOTE.]* Just another reminder; if you see the message that one of your comrades has DIED in battle, RESET your game and start back over from your last save. With them dead, you won't be able to get all 108 Stars.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! s1.mb1 - Major Battle - Battle at Pannu Yakuta Castle ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imperial Army - 9000
Liberation Army - ~6995
After some words between the two sides, the battle will begin. Okay, Major Battles work like a rock, paper, scissors type of game. You have three choices of attacks; Charge, Bow, and Magic, as well as an Others command. % Charge works well against Bow, but is weak against Magic. % Bow works well against Magic, but is weak against Charge. % Magic works well against Charge, but is weak against Bow. As for the Others command, you'll have various skills that you can use; I ALWAYS recommend using the Thieves or Ninjas command first off (though you don't have any Ninjas just yet); they will tell you what the enemy is planning on doing, giving you the edge for the next attack. Now for the battle; use the Thieves command first off to see what they're going to do; if they fail, you'll just have to pick one of the three. I always use a Bow attack in this case, because it WILL do damage no matter what they do. *Kwanda's Attack* is a Charge attack, just to let you know, and it's usually the first attack that they will use in this battle. If your thieves tell you that they're going to do a Bow attack, use the Strategists command under Other to boost your Charge attack power, then use the Charge command with the Commander's Team or the Lepant family. After that turn, use the Thieves command again, then do whichever is strongest, and so on and so forth until you win the battle. Like I said, if you're ever in doubt, or if the Thieves command fails, just use a Bow attack, that way you will be able to inflict damage on them no matter what. Pretty easy, isn't it? Kwanda says that he's going to use the Burning Mirror again, but as he goes to use it, the Mirror will shatter, thanks to the Firewind (or Windfire, as he says here) Cannon that the Dwarves built! At this point, your party will gather together, and no, you don't get to pick who; it's Hero, Gremio, Kirkis, Kuromimi, Valeria, and Viktor. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.517 -Pannu Yakuta-, the rising of the Liberation Army... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Viktor [22], Valeria [29], Kuromimi [27] Head north into the Hero [28], Gremio [28], Kirkis [28] castle. If you go [Items] Medicine, Thunder Rune Piece right and up into [Equipment] Steel Shield, Half Armor, Gauntlet this door, you'll find a [Runes] Gale Crystal woman inside who will let [Key Items] Old Book Vol. 1 you rest. Go back outside and go directly [Recruits] (37) Kwanda (M) left from this room to another room. Grab (38) Sylvina (L) the [_STEEL SHIELD_] inside, then go back (39) Stallion (L) outside and head up through the main door. [Enemies] Devil Armor Follow the red carpet, then go through the Devil Shield door on the left when you see it; there's Veteran Soldier (A) a [_HALF ARMOR_] in the chest in here. Go Veteran Soldier (B) back out to the red carpet, then head east Veteran Soldier (C) and into the room below the door on the *BOSS*---Dragon right. You will find a [_GAUNTLET_] in here. Thanks to Zac ([email protected]) for finding this for me since I missed it. Once you have those items, go back out and follow the red carpet up the stairs to the second floor. Go into the room on the left to find another chest; this one has a
[_MEDICINE_]. Go back out and go into the room on the right to find [_OLD BOOK VOL. 1_]. Go back out again, and you'll see a white room below you; you can enter it from the left side, though it's kind of hard to see. Go in there and open the chest for a [_GALE CRYSTAL_]. After getting those three items, head to the lower left corner of the big room to go outside; grab the [_THUNDER RUNE PIECE_] out here. Now you can go up to the third floor. Don't move; make sure that everyone is at full health. When you're ready, go up through this door, and when you get to the center of the room, you'll meet the next boss! ________ |*BOSS*| Have Valeria use her Falcon Rune; have Hero, Kuromimi, ******** Gremio and Kirkis all attack, and have Viktor use the Clone [ Dragon ] Rune, and when he's unbalanced, have him heal as usual. ******** His single attacks will hit hard, but his all attack isn't as powerful, dealing maybe 60 damage max to your weakest [Bits] 3,500 character. It's a long battle, but not that difficult. Heal Hero, and make sure that he has the best armor possible equipped on him. Go through the door behind the throne, then follow the path to the roof. You'll meet Kwanda here, and he'll challenge you, and with his Black Rune, he thinks that he cannot fail!

At a loss, are you? But I'll show you no mercy! Damn! I underestimated you. Ha ha! You'll have to do better than that! Heh, now it's my turn. Taste the sharpness of my blade! That's nothing!

I'll get you! I'll show you how it's done. Impossible! You can't avoid my blows! Interesting. How about another round? Take that! The next one won't be so easy! Victory is near! I strike with all my might! We're getting nowhere. Here I come! Well done. You're a worthy opponent. Now it's my turn!
After the battle, the Black Rune on Kwanda's hand destroy itself. Talk to him again, and he'll be acting like he doesn't know what's going on. You will then have a choice. NO! [1] Vengeance! Your time is up! [2] Something's wrong.
Make sure to choose option 2, because if you don't, you can't get all 108 Stars. They will all notice that Kwanda isn't the same as he was a moment ago. He says it's the Black Rune NO! [1] You're right. that Lady Windy gave him; she can't be [2] I want you to join us. trusted, and since he failed, he thinks that he should die. Choose 2 to have him join your party, or else, he'll die. He'll agree to join you, since the Emperor isn't the same person that he knew 7 years ago. Back at the entrance, Mathiu congratulates you on your victory. Kuromimi's mom and bro will come running in to find Kuromimi, so that means that the Black Rune's spell was broken over the Kobolds. Kirkis will decide to join the Liberation Army for good, as will Sylvina, Stallion, Kuromimi, and Valeria. He'll ask you if you're ready to go back to the castle. [1] Let's go, then! [2] Wait. I have some unfinished business.
Choose option 2, since we can stop at a couple of places on the way back to recruit people. Leave Pannu Yakuta and go to the Great Forest.
-Great Forest-Kobold Village::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: [My Party] Viktor [27], Valeria [31], Kuromimi [29] Go into into the Inn, and Hero [30], Gremio [30], Kirkis [30] talk to the big man [Recruits] (40) Fu Su Lu (S) on the left; he is (41) Gon (S) Fu Su Lu, and he claims he's as strong as 100 men. If you want him to join your party, you have to pay 10,000 bits for all of the food that he's eaten! You should have at least that much, if not, go to the Dwarf Trail and fight for 5 minutes or so and get it. Once you pay for it, he'll join you! Go into the house on the bottom of the screen and talk to the Kobold named Gon; he'll want to join the Liberation Army too since big brother Kuromimi is in it, so recruit him as well! Head back through the Great Forest to get to the west side, then go to the World Map. Before going back to the castle, head northwest to Kouan. -Kouan ::::: [My Party] Viktor [27], Valeria [31], Kuromimi [29] Go into the Inn and Hero [30], Gremio [30], Kirkis [30] talk to Lorelai [Recruits] (42) Lorelai (L) again. Since you're over level 25 this time, she'll decide to
join your party! Leave Kouan and head east and north to Seika. -Seika ::::: [My Party] Viktor [27], Valeria [31], Kuromimi [29] Go into Mathiu's Hero [30], Gremio [30], Kirkis [30] house, and talk to [Recruits] (43) Apple (NP) the little girl here; she's Apple, and she's accusing you of taking Master Mathiu away! She knows that he was fed up with war, and that we forced him to come with us, and she wants to know why. [1] Because Mathiu wanted to. Choose any of the three options. She [2] This is not not just just another another war. will decide to ask Mathiu himself, and [3] ......... will head off to Headquarters. Apple has joined your party! Leave Seika and head back to HQ. Enter the first part of the castle. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.518 -Headquarters-, three months later... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [30] [Save Points] Inn
Three months after defeating Kwanda Rosman's army...
You'll wake up in your room; leave here and make your way down to the third floor; go into the big room on the right to meet up with Flik! He's angry, wanting to know where Odessa is. Mathiu will come in an introduce himself as Odessa's brother, and when Flik asks him where she is, he flat out tells her that she's dead. [1] But Odessa's last request... Choose either one, and Mathiu will tell [2] You're right. him that she was killed at the hideout in Lenankamp. Flik doesn't believe that it happened, and he doesn't think that a guy like you should be the leader of the New Liberation Army. He'll decide to leave, and stay at the Inn in Kaku. Viktor says that he needs to talk to him, so he'll join your party. Leave Headquarters and sail to Kaku. He's not actually at the Inn, rather at the house to the left of the steps. Go in and talk to him, and he'll seem to blame himself for not showing Odessa how he could be a leader. He says that he can't accept you as a leader, but he will want to join forces with you. Will you? [1] No. [2] Of course.
Choose option 2, and he'll decide to move his troops in at the castle as well. Get back in your boat and sail back to Headquarters. Go to the first floor and save first, then go up to the third floor, and enter the big room on the right (known as the War Room from here on out). Talk to Flik, and he'll say that his comrades were captured my Milich Oppenheimer's forces, so we need to go and free them by taking the Fortress of Garan, then take Milich's domain. [1] Prepare to depart. [2] It is not yet time for battle.
Choose option 1 and you'll be in your second Major Battle. Flik also joins your army for this battle.

If you don't know, just use a Bow attack. After the battle, Pahn will get big-headed and say that we should attack Milich now, and Flik wants to go with it as well. Without having time to think, you'll be thrown into the next major battle.

Imperial Army - 12000 Liberation Army - ~8115 ______________________________________________ ______________________ _________________________________________________ ___________________________ __ | Charge beats Bow | Bow beats Magic | Magic beats Charge | It doesn't matter what you do here, because he'll use his Poisonous Pollen attack, which will take a HUGE chunk out of your troops. At this point, Mathiu will order the retreat. -Garan ::::: [My Party] Pahn [28], Viktor [27], Flik [34] Apparently, the Pollen is Hero [30], Gremio [30], Kai [28] being caused by some [Recruits] (44) Flik (S) strange roses of Milich's. Viktor thinks that we should send a recon team, so he'll join your party, and Flik will also decide to come. Now, Gremio will want to come too, but Viktor advises against it; he has a bad feeling about this, so Gremio will plead his case with you. [1] Stay here, Gremio. [2] Okay. Come with us.
Even if you choose 1, you'll eventually have to choose 2 to bring him with you, so do it now. Talk to Mathiu to bring 2 more people with you (I chose Pahn and Kai), then head west to a new area of the World Map.
World Map ~~~~~~~~~ Rikon/Teien/Soniere/N.Lorimar/Antei/Scarletici Rikon/Teien/Soniere/N. Lorimar/Antei/Scarleticia a Castle/E.Dragon's Den Area S.Northern Checkpoint :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::: [Enemies] Creeper Holly Fairy Mad Ivy -Rikon :::::
First things first; I know you're tired of running around everywhere, so we're going to get a nifty little item that'll teleport us back to Headquarters! But before we do that, head a little west of Garan and a little south to enter Rikon.
[My Party] Pahn [28], Viktor [27], Flik [34] Visit the Item Shop here Hero [30], Gremio [30], Kai [28] and purchase the Blue [Save Points] Inn Flower Seeds as well as the Blue Paint. If you visit the Appraiser, you'll meet a man named Jabba; he says that if you can find anything that he can't
appraise, he'll do anything you ask; that item is called the Nameless Urn, and we'll come back to it in a few minutes. Go to the Inn and go upstairs. Talk to the girl up here; she's Lotte, and she's lost her poor kitten. Note to self; if we catch her cat, she'll join our party, mmmkay? Now, since we're already here, go to the south end of town and hop into the boat here. On the World Map, follow the river south as far as you can, and when you see a whirlpool to your west/northwest, go over and TOUCH IT with your boat for a message that says 'rapids'. Once you've touched it, take the boat back to Rikon, and your party will wonder what to do, since you can't get past them with a normal boat. Now, leave Rikon head north to Teien. -Teien ::::: [My Party] Pahn [28], Viktor [27], Flik [34] Go into the Inn here, and Hero [30], Gremio [30], Kai [28] talk to the elderly woman [Save Points] Inn on the right side; this [Items] Mega Medicine is Hellion; she knows all about you, and she [Key Items] Blinking Mirror would like to lend you her powers. Recruit [Recruits] (45) Hellion (S) her, and she'll tell you about the Blinking Mirror; it will teleport you to your base from the World Map at any time, so open the chest on the right to obtain the [_BLINKING MIRROR_], then open the one on the left for a [_MEGA MEDICINE_]. Talk to the guy at the Item Shop, and buy the Yellow Flower Seeds, as well as the Yellow Paint. Now, leave Teien, and use your Blinking Mirror to go back to Headquarters. MAKE SURE THAT THE BLINKING MIRROR IS ALWAYS ON HERO, AND NEVER DISCARD IT! At HQ, if you leave by boat, then come back in, you'll notice that your castle has grown yet again, so check everything out to see where it is now. Go to the second floor and put the Blue and Yellow Paint/Seeds in Rock's vault, then talk to Mathiu or Sanchez on the third floor, and put Tai Ho and Yam Koo in your two available slots. If you want to, you can play Dice with Gaspar to get some money so we can upgrade weapons; it's by far the fastest way to earn an unholy amount of money; just be sure to save before playing. Head down to B1 of your castle, and talk to Viki; have her teleport you back to Teien. Once in Teien, go to the Blacksmith and sharpen all of your weapons as high as you can; up to 12 if you have the money. If you don't, don't worry about it; we're going to be fighting on the World Map for a while. The Holly Fairies on the World Map hold the Nameless Urn, which we need to recruit Jabba. So fight around on the World Map for a bit if you want to, but we need to go to Antei as well, so leave Teien. Here's a list of things to do while fighting for the Nameless Urn; first, go southwest of Teien and stop in at a place called the Soniere Prison, so we can teleport there later instead of walking it. After that, head west to Lorimar and visit there. Go north of Lorimar and visit Scarleticia Castle as well, and you'll see the giant rose with the weird pollen. Head northeast to Antei, but head northeast PAST it first, all the way to the Northern Checkpoint. Finally from there, head all the way west and enter the Dragon's Den. Once you've visited all of those places, head over to Antei.
-Antei ::::: [My Party] Hero [31], Viktor [28], Flik [34] First off, go to the Gremio [31], Tai Ho [28], Yam Koo [28] Armory, which is on [Save Points] Inn the second building [Recruits] (46) Chapman (NP) on the left. Talk to the Armorer; he is (47) Jeane (NP) Chapman, and he's tired of working in this (48) Mina (S) run down Armory; he'll ask to join your party, so recruit him to give your castle an Armory! Leave here and go to the Rune Shop, which is just up and right from the Armory; talk to the beautiful Jeane, and since you now have over 45 stars, she will join your party as well! *[.NOTE.]* Now that you have an Armory in your castle, you will be able to buy Wing Boots. The only way they will be in your inventory is if you LOOKED at the items at the Armory in Gregminster at the beginning of the game. These Boots are very useful. If you have kept the Toe Shoes on Hero this whole time, I applaud you! With them equipped for the last time, head over to the Inn, and talk to the dancer on the right; she's Mina, and yes, she's heard of you too. To recruit her, you have to dance with her, and you can only dance well if you have those Toe Shoes on. After the dance if over, Mina will join your party! If you talk to Esmerelda on the second floor, she'll tell you that she'll join your party if you bring her an Opal, which we can't get until we break into Soniere Prison. That's all for Antei, so leave here. If you've gotten the Nameless Urn by now, head over to Rikon. Well, even if you haven't, go to Rikon anyway. -Rikon ::::: [My Party] Hero [31], Viktor [28], Flik [34] With the Nameless Urn, Gremio [31], Tai Ho [28], Yam Koo [28] go to the Appraiser [Save Points] Inn and talk to Jabba; [Recruits] (49) Jabba (NP) he'll be surprised that he can't identify (50) Lotte (S) this; recruit him to get an Appraiser! Go back to the second floor of the Inn, and talk to Lotte a second time; this time, she'll flat out tell you that if you find her cat, she'll join your party. To find her cat, head over to Kaku, and chase the cat on the right side. Once you've caught it, come back to Rikon and give it to her, and she'll join your entourage as well. Now, we've got three more characters to recruit before continuing on, and they are pretty tough, so here's what you do; play Dice with Gaspar, and have all 6 of the people listed in My Party to have level 12 weapons, and have all 6 of them outfitted with the best armor, including Head Gear, Ninja Suits, Steel Shield for Flik, and Guard Rings for everyone; if you have good luck, it should only take a few minutes of Dice to get around 500,000 or more Bits to do this. You'll also want to have them at level 28 or 29 and higher, and have Mega Medicines on Viktor, Tai Ho, and Yam Koo. Stay and Save at the Inn, and when you're ready, leave Headquarters BY BOAT. If you look on your map, you'll see a dot on an island
west-northwest of your castle. That's our next destination. -Pirates' Fortress ::::::::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [31], Viktor [28], Flik [34] Head up into the Gremio [31], Tai Ho [28], Yam Koo [28] Pirates' hut. Talk to [Recruits] (51) Anji (M) Anji, the one in blue; (52) Leonardo (M) Tai Ho will insult him for just wasting (53) Kanak (M) away instead of helping them out. Anji will take it personally and challenge you to fight. [1] Fight. Choose 1 to fight them. Here's what you do; have [2] Refuse to fight. Tai Ho and Yam Koo use their Fisherman Attack on Leonardo, and heal while they're unbalanced; have Viktor use his Clone Rune on Anji and heal while he's unbalanced; have Flik use his Lightning Rune on Leonardo, then Anji, and have Hero and Gremio just attack Anji normally. If you've prepared well enough, this battle should be a breeze. I know for a fact that we're not supposed to be fighting these guys just yet, considering my levels jumped 2-3 levels! After the battle, Anji, Leonardo, and Kanak will join your party! Leave the Pirates' Fortress, and head back to Headquarters. Switch out Tai Ho and Yam Koo for whomever you want. Since the game doesn't exactly spell it out unless you talk to every single person, I'm going to let you in on what's going on; we need to find a man named Liukan, who can help us out by making an antidote for the Pollen that Milich's roses let out. Liukan lives beyond those rapids that we couldn't get past, so we've got to find a way to get past them. The answer is in Teien, so head there now. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.519 -Teien-, looking for an antidote... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Pahn [28], Viktor [32], Flik [35] For this next paragraph, to Hero [33], Gremio [33], Kai [28] work out, you MUST have [Save Points] Inn taken the boat from Rikon [Party Items] Prodigy and encountered the rapids at the south/ [Recruits] (54) Gen (S) southwestern end of the river. If you (55) Kamandol (S) haven't, do that now. There are two houses that the top of Teien; go into the one on the left and talk to the guy in here; his name is Gen, and he's very interested in boats, but not the Liberation Army. [1] We have no business with you. [2] We need a boat that can beat the rapids.
Choose 2, and he will decide to help help you, but he can't do it alone; he needs the help of the old man next door, Kamandol. Gen will join your party, so you have to kick someone out of it temporarily. Leave his house and go next door to have Kamandol come out to talk to you; Gen will make fun of him for being so old, but Kamandol says that he can do anything, depending on the time and money.
Go inside his house, and he'll show you a machine that moves by burning oil; by attaching this to the boat, we can navigate the Dunan Rapids. He tells us to be careful with it, meaning that... we have to carry it? Kamandol will join your party, thus kicking out your other party member. You'll obtain the engine, which is listed as the [_PRODIGY_] in your Party Items.
Leave Teien, and head south to Rikon. -Rikon ::::: [My Party] Viktor [32], Flik [35], Gen [23] You'll automatically Hero [33], Gremio [33], Kamandol [22] drop it off at the [Save Points] Inn south end of town, so the two of them will start to work on it while we get some rest. In the middle of the night, Gremio will check up on you, saying that he doesn't think that you need him to protect you anymore... The next morning, leave the Inn and you'll go talk to them; they worked throughout the night and completed it, so they'll rejoin you. Now, hop on the boat, and follow the river to the blinking dot to your south to arrive at Liukan's Hermitage. -Liukan's Hermitage :::::::::::::::::: [My Party] Viktor [32], Flik [35], Gen [23] Head up the stairs on Hero [33], Gremio [33], Kamandol [22] the right, and talk [Key Items] Black Paint to Liukan; he says that he moved here to try to get away from everyone, and from making medicine. When Gremio mentions that we need him to make an antidote for Milich's roses, Milich will come flying in on a dragon; after some very strong (-grin-) words from Milich, he will decide to take Liukan to his impenetrable Soniere Prison. Head into his house and grab the [_BLACK PAINT_] out of the chest. Now we need to head back to Headquarters, so get on your boat, then use your Blinking Mirror to head back. -Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Viktor [32], Flik [35], Gen [23] Head up to the fourth Hero [33], Gremio [33], Kamandol [22] floor and talk to [Save Points] Inn Mathiu. He has an [Party Items] Mathiu's Letter idea; he knows a counterfeiter in Antei named Kimberly, as well as a scrivener named Tesla; he wrote you a letter to give to Kimberly, but he won't tell us his idea just yet. You'll receive [_MATHIU'S LETTER_]. Talk to Sanchez to put the two people back in your party that you want to, then head over to Antei. -Antei ::::: [My Party] Pahn [28], Viktor [32], Flik [35] Enter the house just to the Hero [33], Gremio [33], Kai [28] upper right of the Inn. [Save Points] Inn Talk to Kimberly in here to [Recruits] (56) Kimberly (S) give her Mathiu's Letter. She can't read, (57) Tesla (NP) so Gremio will read it to her; she thinks about joining you, then after looking at who you're with, she'll decide that she'll only join after she gets a date with Flik. After that fun-filled date, she'll decide to head over to Headquarters.
She'll tell you that Tesla is in this town, but he's going by the name of Albert. Kimberly will join your party! Leave this house and go to the one northwest of it. Talk to "Albert" here, and Viktor will start interrogating him; Viktor will trick him into saying that he is in fact Tesla the Scrivener. He really doesn't want to go back to his life of crime, but he doesn't have any choice here. Tesla joins the party! Use the Blinking Mirror on the World Map and go back to Headquarters. -Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Pahn [28], Viktor [32], Flik [35] Go back to the fourth floor Hero [33], Gremio [33], Kai [28] once again, and talk to [Save Points] Inn Mathiu. He'll tell you that he had Kimberly and Tesla make forged Imperial papers that will allow you to walk into Soniere Prison. You'll receive the [_FAKE ORDERS_]. Now, prepare for a tough road ahead, and SAVE your game at the Inn. When you're ready, teleport over to Soniere Prison. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.520 -Soniere-, the sacrifice... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Pahn [28], Viktor [32], Flik [35] *[.NOTE.]* You'll see Hero [33], Gremio [33], Kai [28] enemies called Nightmares [Save Points] First screen inside here; fight them [Items] Antitoxin over and over again until [Equipment] Silver Necklace, Half Helmet you receive an Opal from [Key Items] Old Book Vol. 6, Sound Setting 0 them. It's crucial to get [Enemies] Delf this to recruit Esmerelda. Nightmare Red Slime Walk up to the soldiers, and you'll show Veteran Soldier (A) them the papers, which will let you go Veteran Soldier (B) inside. Go north through two doors, and Viperman you'll be at a fork; to your right is a Journeyman's Crystal, so save at it, then grab the [_SILVER NECKLACE_] out of the chest in the room south of it. Go back up and head left, following the path through two doors, then get the [_OLD BOOK VOL. 6_] out of the chest beside that second door. Go left and up, and walk up to the big door to use the lever to open it. Then continue north and down the stairs, and keep following the path down four more sets. Go south, and open the chest here for an [_ANTITOXIN_], then follow the path past all of the empty cells and down the stairs. You'll run into four sets of Veteran Soldiers down here, so take care of them, then examine the cells to the right of Liukan to obtain a [_HALF HELMET_] and [_SOUND SETTING 0_]. Examine the third cell and free Liukan. If you haven't obtained the Opal just yet, stay down here and fight Nightmares until you get it. Once you have the Opal, TAKE ANYTHING IMPORTANT OFF OF GREMIO! Then start to make your way back to the entrance. When you reach the room with the lever, Milich will use it to trap you in the room with him. Instead of fighting you, he decides that he will
release a bottle filled with the Spores of Agony; these spores eat men alive. He'll smash it on the ground, then run out of the room, locking the door behind him. In a brave effort, Gremio will use the lever again and throw everyone behind that door, then shut the door back with him still in the room! Gremio says that the spores are spreading quickly, and that this is the only way for the rest of us to survive. [1] Open the door, Gremio! [2] This is an an order, order, Gremio!
Choose either option, but Gremio will refuse to comply. He apologizes apologizes for not being able to protect you any more, but you've become strong enough to where you don't need him. He will then say goodbye... Later on in the day, Mathiu and the troops will come along and free you, and after you grieve over Gremio's remnants, you'll leave. Viktor will go back in, then come back out, and the next thing you know, you'll be in bed back at Headquarters. *[.NOTE.]* With Gremio's death, you have unlocked the level 2 spell to the Soul Eater; Black Shadow, which is a pretty good attack. If you did leave stuff on Gremio, it has been put in your Vault. Check with Rock to get it out. You will be able to revive Gremio, but only if no one else permanently dies, and if you recruit all of the other 107 Stars. -Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [34] [Save Points] Inn
Leave your room, and talk to everyone along the way, but don't talk to Mathiu just yet; we should recruit one more person before we go to the next Major Battle. Make sure that someone in your party has the Opal and teleport to Antei. -Antei ::::: [My Party] Hero [34] [Save Points] Inn [Recruits] (58) Esmerelda (NP)
Go to the second floor of the Inn, and give the Opal that you got in Soniere to Esmerelda. She will then join your party! Now, leave Antei and head back to HQ.
-Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [34] [Save Points] Inn [Recruits] (59) Liukan (S)
Save your game at the Inn. Now, I strongly recommend making sure that Pahn has THE BEST equipment and a level 12 weapon; his moment to shine is coming soon. When you're ready, go to the War Room and talk to Mathiu. He advises that we attack Scarleticia now, since Liukan has made the antitoxin. Liukan will then join your party! Mathiu will then ask if you're ready.
[1] All right. Let's begin assembling the troops. [2] I just don't feel like it right now.
If you need to Save your game, choose option 2 and go to the Inn and save. When you've done that, come back and tell him to assemble. Here we go!

Imperial Army - 12000 Liberation Army - ~10295 ______________________________________________ ______________________ _________________________________________________ ___________________________ __ | Charge beats Bow | Bow beats Magic | Magic beats Charge | As usual, you're outnumbered, but it shouldn't be a problem. Use your Also as usual, use the Thieves ability to see what they're going to do, and if they are going to use the Bow attack, make sure to have the Strategists boost the Charge attack power. *Milich's Attack* is a Magic attack, just to let you know. (I swore, in my first game, Milich's Attack was a Charge attack, but in my second game, it was a Magic attack. Hmm...) Your most powerful team is now the Lepant Family, considering that you lost an important part of the Commander's Team in Gremio. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.521 -Scarleticia-, avenging an ally... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Pahn [32], Viktor [33], Flik [35] Mathiu suggests breaking in Hero [34], Cleo [28], Kai [32] so that you can set fire to [Items] Magic Rune Piece the roses. Flik and Viktor [Key Items] Red Paint, Window Setting 1 will join you, then pick the [Recruits] (60) Milich (S) rest of your party. Head into [Enemies] Creeper the castle, and go into the upper left Nightmare room first to find the [_RED PAINT_]. Head north through this door and walk up [1] Milich, too, is a victim... to the the dresser dresser and portrait of Milich Milich to [2] What a creep. be given a choice... Choose option 1 and a secret passage will open. Go down the stairs and collect the [_WINDOW SETTING 1_] and a [_MAGIC RUNE PIECE_]. Head back upstairs, and go into the room on the right side for another chest; this one has a [_MAGIC ROBE_] inside. Go back up and talk to the man here if you want; he's Ivanov, but he won't join your party just yet. Make your way up to the second floor. Go into the lower left room and open the chest for a [_SPARK CRYSTAL_]. Go into the room on the right side of this floor and talk to Kasios if you want. BEFORE going out on the balcony, make sure Pahn is at a decent level; around 32 should be just great. When you're ready, go out to the balcony. They will get ready to set fire to the roses, and Milich will come out. He'll start to freak out, then the Black Rune on his hand will melt away in the same fashion as Kwanda Rosman's did. He will admit that Windy gave him one of the Black Runes, but he doesn't remember anything. You'll be given your second crucial choice of the game. NO! [1] Gremio must be avenged. [2] This man is not at fault!
Choose 2! If you don't, you will not be able to collect all 108 Stars, and you will never be able to revive Gremio, okay!? Flik will tell everyone to cool down and obey the leader's orders. Milich will decide that he would like to join the Liberation Army, because the Emperor has fallen for Windy, only because of the resemblance between Windy and his late Empress, Lady Claudia, and Windy's intentions are nothing but evil.
NO! [1] I can't. [2] I understand.
Choose 2 as usual, because there are consequences as I've told you many times before. At this point,
Stallion will come running to tell you that the Imperial Army is coming! You'll automatically be taken back to the castle. -Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Pahn [32], Viktor [33], Flik [35] HEAD TO THE INN AND SAVE Hero [34], Cleo [30], Kai [32] YOUR GAME! Then head up to [Save Points] Inn the fourth floor and talk [Recruits] (61) Kasumi (L) to Mathiu. He says that this girl here, Kasumi, is a Ninja from the hideout at Rokkaku. Talk to her, and she'll tell you that Rokkaku has finally fallen to Teo McDohl's forces. She also says that she would like to join your party to help out. Now is the time that we finally must face General Teo McDohl in battle. Gen will report that Teo's Army have reached the far shore, so Mathiu recommends engaging them in a brief skirmish to test their power. [1] Fine. [2] But I'd rather not fight my father.
Choose option 1 to be thrown into another Major Battle.

Just do whatever you want until you're wiped out. Everyone will flee, and will be pursued by Teo and his top officers, Alen and Grenseal. Ahead, Pahn decides that he'll hold them off. [1] Pahn, I'll see you later. Choose either one, and you'll head off [2] Good luck. while Pahn stays behind and fights Teo. Teo will come up and meet Pahn, and try to get him to move out of the way; Pahn refuses, and challenges Master Teo. En garde!

"I'll show no mercy, Pahn. Here I come!" Be extremely careful here, because Teo is very powerful! You MUST win this battle if you want to get all 108 Stars! When Teo says "___", he will Attack. Choose to use a Desperate Attack. % % % % %
All you can do is defend, Pahn? No mercy! Did you see me coming? Do you see how we're mismatched? Get serious, Pahn. This is how it's done. Is that all you've got? Now it's my turn!
% % % % %
My sword's not rusty yet. Pretty good, Pahn. That was a good one, Pahn. Now it's my turn. The numbness in my hands, it's real. We're getting nowhere. Here I come!

All right, do it again! Come on, Pahn. See if you can kill me. Do you give up? I'll see that coming next time! I'm losing my cool. Better be careful. Good work, Pahn. I'll have to be more careful. Strike me, Pahn! What's the matter, Pahn? How about another round? You're a smart one, Pahn. You're better than I thought.
When Teo says "___", he will use a Desperate Attack. Choose to Defend. % % % % % % % % % %
Can you dodge my blade, Pahn? Excellent, Pahn. You're a real fighter. Here's another! Finish me with a single blow! Hmmm. Here I come again! If you don't attack, I will! Impossible! Take that! My killer blade... Now that I've seen what you've got, I'll show you what I can do. That's...no good. The next one will be more painful.
After the battle, Teo will order the retreat, and Pahn will be glad to be alive. -Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [34] [Save Points] Inn
Head up to the fourth floor, and head west into your room, then go to bed. In the middle of the night, Leknaat will show up, saying that she knows [1] Why must I? how you feel, but you must go on. Pick either [2] Perhaps, but... option, and she will tell about her older sister, Windy. She also carries a True Rune with her sister, which is the Gate Rune; Windy wants to have the power of two True Runes, and if she can do this, she'll become too powerful and will probably bring the world to ruin. She also says that you're the only one who can stop her. The next morning, head to the War Room and talk to Flik; he remembers about the Fire Spears! With them, we should be able to defeat Teo's armored cavalry! Go down to the basement and head out to your boat; you'll see Gen and Kamandol here; they've put a more powerful engine on this boat as well! With it, you'll be able to cross the maelstrom (a whirlpool similar to the one near Liukan's) to get to the next town, the town of Kirov. [1] Yes, I'll take a test ride. [2] Correction Maybe later.
Choose either one, but to take this boat, we need someone who's experienced
with boats, and the only other guy we know who knows about boats is good old Tai Ho. Head back up to the fourth floor and talk to Sanchez. Put Tai Ho in your party, as well as four others you would like. Ideally for now, I'd take Tai Ho, Yam Koo, Kai, Kirkis, and Stallion, but there are three others I'd like to recruit before moving on. (I strongly recommend taking Kirkis that way you won't have to spend extra time trying to level him up so you can recruit Rubi) To get these recruits, you must have Milich in your party. Once you have Tai Ho and Milich in your party, go back to the boat and choose to take a test ride. Once you're on the World Map, use the Blinking Mirror, then have Viki teleport you to Scarleticia. -Scarleticia ::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [34], Milich [32], Kai [32] Go inside, then go up Tai Ho [31], Kirkis [30], Stallion [16] and right through [Recruits] (62) Ivanov (NP) this room to the next (63) Kasios (NP) room, and talk to Ivanov once again. Since [Enemies] Creeper you've beaten Milich, he will join your Nightmare party so he can be free as well! Head up to the second floor, and go into the room on the right and talk to Kasios. Since Milich is in your party, she will want to be by his side, and will join your party as well! Leave Scarleticia and head to Antei. -Antei ::::: [My Party] Hero [34], Milich [32], Kai [32] Talk to the kid on Tai Ho [32], Kirkis [31], Stallion [28] the left who has been [Save Points] Inn greeting people. Now [Recruits] (64) Qlon (NP) that the name of the town is changed back to Antei, he says that he will join your party since it was because of you that you can call it Antei once again. Qlon joins! Now, head back to Headquarters. -Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [34], Milich [32], Kai [32] Now that Ivanov has Tai Ho [32], Kirkis [31], Stallion [28] joined our party, [Save Points] Inn we can give him all of the Paints that we've been holding on to. Go to the Vault and get the Blue, Yellow, White, and Black Paint out of there, then go to the third floor and go to the lower right corner and give it to him; he will start to put together a colorful collage, which still needs some work. Go to the fourth floor and kick Milich out of your party and put whoever you want in there (I used Yam Koo). Make sure to stop at the Blacksmith and Armory to get the party properly equipped, and even go to Teien to sharpen their weapons, if you have the money. Once you're ready, save your game and hop on the boat! Head northwest of Headquarters, and head north of the Pirates' Fortress to sail over the maelstrom that was once blocking our way. Head north and dock at Kirov.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.522 -Kirov-, retrieving our final gift... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [34], Tai Ho Yam Koo [31], Kirkis [Save Points] Inn [Items] Soap [Recruits] (65) Georges (NP) (66) Lester (M) (67) Sarah (L)
[32], Kai [32] [31], Stallion [28]
There are three people to recruit here in Kirov, as well as some new armor to get. First off, let's recruit Georges; go to the Inn and talk to him; he's the guy directly up from the door. He has a pretty fun card game to play, and if you beat one of his records, he'll join you! It's pretty simple; all cards are face down and you have to match pairs of your recruits, as well as memorize where they were when you flipped them over. Ask Georges for details. Next, we'll recruit Lester; go into the house on the left of the woman washing clothes, and taste the stew cooking on the stove. Then leave this house and go into the one to your right. Taste the stew cooking on this stove as well. Now, leave this house and go into the house that's right beside the docks and your boat. Talk to the chef in here; he's Lester, and he's happy to hear that you like his stews, and when he learns that you're the leader of the Liberation Army, he'll decide to join you! Finally, there's Sarah; she's a chore to recruit, so follow along carefully. Talk to Sarah, the woman who's washing clothes, and choose to recruit her; she'll agree to join, but only if you get her some soap. Go talk to the man walking between the Inn and the Armory, and he says that he'll give you some Soap if you get him some Soy Sauce. Then go talk to the guy that's close to the house below the Inn; he'll give you some Soy Sauce if you give him some Salt. Go to the southeast end of town and talk to the person here; they will give you some Salt, but only if you give them a Yardstick. Go to the Inn and talk to the guy in the room on the right; he'll give you a Yardstick if you can get him some Sugar. SO after you talk to ALL of them... Go to the Item Shop and buy some Sugar, then go to the Inn and give it to the man here to get the Yardstick.
Go to the southeast end of town and give the Yardstick to the person here to get the Salt. Talk to the guy between the Item Shop and building beside Sarah and give him the Salt to get the Soy Sauce. Talk to the guy between the Inn and the Armory and give him the Soy Sauce and he'll give you the [_SOAP_]. Finally, go over to Sarah and give her the Soap, only to find out that she had some all along (ARGH!). She will then join your party! Now that those tasks are done, head north and leave Kirov. World Map ~~~~~~~~~ Kirov/Kalekka/Secret Factory Area :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[Enemies] Dagon Grizzly Bear Siren
Fight around on the World Map if you want to, but when you're finished doing that, head north to Kalekka.
-Kalekka ::::::: [My Party] Hero [35], Tai Ho [33], Kai [33] Go into the first Yam Koo [33], Kirkis [33], Stallion [32] building here and [Items] Earth Rune Piece talk to Leon [Key Items] Old Book Vol. 8 Silverberg; all he'll do is give you some [Recruits] (68) Blackman (M) advice for now. Leave the building and [Enemies] Demon Hound head east to the next building; there's an Hawk Man [_EARTH RUNE PIECE_]. Head back out and go through Shadow the path between the two buildings. In the next building, talk to the guy in here if you want, then grab the [_OLD BOOK VOL. 8_] out of the chest in here. Go out through the door on the left, then go left into this building; there's an [_ANTIQUE_] in here, so grab it. Go around the back of this building, then head east and into this last one; get the [_SOUND CRYSTAL_], then leave. As you go to leave here, DO NOT STEP ON THE PLANTS! Go around and talk to Blackman here, and if you didn't step on them, he will join your party! Head north and leave Kalekka, then head north to the Secret Factory. -Secret Factory :::::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [37], Tai Ho [37], Kai [37] Yam Koo [37], Kirkis [37], Stallion [37] [Key Items] Window Setting 0 [Party Items] Fire Spear When you enter, you'll see a giant woman [Recruits] (69) Kessler (M) named Ronnie Bell yelling at two of our old (70) Ledon (NP) friends; Ledon and Kessler. You'll get to (71) Kage (L) put your two cents in... [1] Hey, it's Ledon and Kessler. [2] Hey, giant woman.
Pick either option (HAHA), then when Tai Ho asks if you know them, choose either option as well. Ronnie Bell will [1] Yes. notice that you're the leader of the [2] I've never seen them before. Liberation Army, so she'll go tell tell Mose Mose that you're here. Talk to Kessler and Ledon here, and they will both join your party! Go inside the Factory. Ronnie Bell will ask you what to you so long, then tell you that Mose is in the back. First, go to the upper left and talk to Kage; if you pay him 20,000 Bits, he will join your party too! If you don't have 20,000, just go back outside or to Kalekka and fight for 5 minutes. Go to the lower right and open the chest for the [_WINDOW SETTING 0_]. Talk to Mose here, and he will ask how Odessa is going, you'll have to tell him that she's gone. He says that the Fire Spears are ready, but he can't transport them without a boat. Tai Ho says that a friend of his named Kun To might be able to help him. He's in Kirov too, so after you receive the [_FIRE SPEARS_], leave here and head back to Kirov. -Kirov :::::
[My Party] Hero [37], Tai Ho [37], Kai [37] Go straight down Yam Koo [37], Kirkis [37], Stallion [37] from the exit and [Save Points] Inn talk to the person [Recruits] (72) Melodye (NP) standing beside the house and river; this (73) Kun To (NP) is Melodye, who will want the Sound Rune (74) Mose (M) that you just got, and will join if you (75) Ronnie Bell (S) give it up, so give it to Melodye. Now, go into the large house beside the docks, talk to Kun To in here, and he says that he still works with boats. Tai Ho asks to borrow 10 of his boats, and Kun To will let him do so, which also means that Kun To will join your party! Back outside, Ronnie Bell will be loading the rest of the Fire Spears on the boats. After all is said and done here, Mose and Ronnie Bell will also join your party! All that's left now is to hop on your boat and go back to Headquarters! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.523 -Headquarters-, a son surpasses his father... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [37], Tai Ho [37], Kai [37] When you enter your Yam Koo [37], Kirkis [37], Stallion [37] castle, Tai Ho will [Save Points] Inn say that he needs to [Recruits] (76) Alen (S) get some rest, and after that, you'll be in (77) Grenseal (S) your bed. Before going to the War Room as usual, head down to the 1st floor and Save at the Inn. After that, go back up and talk to Mathiu. He thinks that we can now defeat the Armored Cavalry with the Fire Spears, and asks you to give the order to advance. [1] Order all troops to advance.

Did you see that coming? Do you see how much better I am? Here I come, my son. Is defending yourself all you can do? You'll never win that way. That was nothing. Now it's my turn.

After the battle, Teo will tell you that he's proud of you, and to keep fighting for what you believe in. He will then ask Alen and Grenseal to join the Liberation Army and serve his son. He'll say his last words to you, and then the Soul Eater will gain its level 3 spell, Hell, due to the death of Teo... Back at Headquarters, go into the War Room and talk to Lepant; he says that the Empire is in disarray since the defeat of Kwanda, Milich, and now Teo, and now would be a good time to take the Fortress of Lorimar! [1] Let's attack the Fortress of Lorimar! [2] Let's wait a little longer.

Once you're there, Kasumi will scout the area because no one seems to be here. She'll open the door from the other side, so head through. You'll see a bunch of graves that looks as though they were emptied recently. Viktor and Cleo will join your party to scout the area, so pick
three others to come with you (for now, choose Maas, Meese, and Mose so you can recruit Moose in the next town. When you regain control, leave Lorimar to the south, and once you're on the World Map, go right back to Lorimar. Go up and left beside the graves and talk to the man named Kirke, he says that all he can do is cut off heads, but recruit him anyway, and Kirke will join your party! Leave Lorimar. World Map ~~~~~~~~~ S.Lorimar/Warrior's Village/Qlon/Neclord's Castle Area :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [Enemies] Grave Master Hell Hound Sorcerer Whip Wolf
According to C.A. ([email protected]), the Sorcerer's in this area drop Master Robe's; I just thought I'd mention it, because I think I remember them dropping it as well. In any case, to to the south is Warrior's Village, so go there.
-Warrior's Village ::::::::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [38], Maas [24], [Save Points] Inn [Recruits] (79) Moose (80) Marco
Viktor [36], Cleo [34] Meese [26], Mose [29]
Once you're in the Warrior's Village, you'll meet Hix and Tengaar, as (M) well as Zorak, the Village Chief; he will (NP) mention Neclord, a name that Viktor recognizes very well. He will demand to know more information about Neclord, and Hix will call Viktor a bear (haha). The Chief invites you to his house to talk about Neclord. When you regain control, head to the northeastern part of town and go into the house here. Talk to the Blacksmith, Moose, and since Maas, Meese and Mose are in your party, he will decide to join you as well! Now, talk to the person between this house and the one south of it; it's Marco from Rockland! If you can win 5,000 Bits, Marco will join your party too! To recruit Marco, just use the trick I told you at the beginning of the game; choose the 10,000 Bit bet, and pick the cup on the right and voila! Marco will join your party! Stop at the Armory if you like, then go to the Item Shop. Buy the Red Flower Seeds and any other thing you like. Now, leave the Warrior's Village for the time being and head back to your castle. Once you're there, get the Blue and Yellow Flower Seeds out of the Vault so you have all three colors, then switch Maas, Meese, and Mose out for a better party. Sharpen your weapons to 15 if you can afford it, After you've done that, teleport back to Warrior's Village.
[My Party] Hero [39], Viktor [38], Flik [38] Go into the Chief's Cleo [38], Kirkis [38], Stallion [38] house and talk to him [Save Points] Inn about Neclord. He'll say that he came here as a general of some Imperial Troops, which he turned into zombies. He demanded that the villages send women, and the girl from this village would have to be Tengaar, and the women would become his brides. He will then begin his very long talk about the history of the Warrior's Village.
After that, he says that he's prepared a room for you. Go over and talk to Tengaar; she wonders about Cleo, since she's talking to Hix, then listen in on Cleo and Hix's conversation. After that, Hix will run off to bed, so go in the room and talk to Viktor. He says that Neclord misused a rune and turned himself into a vampire, and that he also destroyed the Village where Viktor was born. He vows to destroy him with his own hands. The next morning, head outside, and at the front of the Village, Neclord will be waiting! He's come to take Tengaar, and when a group of warriors try to attack him, they'll be blown away. Then Viktor will go up and challenge him. ________ |*BOSS*| You can't win this battle, so don't bother using any magic ********* or items; just attack or defend until everyone in your party [ Neclord ] has been knocked out. ********* After the battle, Hix will attempt to defend Tengaar, but she will agree to go just so Hix can live. Shortly after, you'll regain consciousness. Viktor says that we need a special weapon to beat him. Go and talk to Zorak, and he will tell you that if you go to the Temple of Qlon west of this village, we should find what we're looking for. Leave the Warrior's Village, and head west of here to get to Qlon. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.525 -Qlon-, where the Star Dragon Sword sleeps... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [39], Viktor [38], Flik [38] Cleo [38], Kirkis [38], Stallion [38] [Save Points] First area of cave [Bits] 5000 [Items] Medicine, Escape Talisman, Medicine, Mega Medicine, Skill Rune Piece, Mega Medicine [Equipment] Crimson Cape, Head Gear, Silverlet [Runes] Flowing Crystal, Boar Crystal, Champion's Crystal [Key Items] Old Book Vol. 3, Window Crystal, Old Book Vol. 2, War Scroll [Recruits] (81) Zen (NP) (82) Morgan (S) Don't go into the actual temple just yet; go (83) Fukien (S) to the upper right part of the screen and (84) Hugo (NP) talk to the man named Zen; you'll [Enemies] Banshee automatically give him the Red, Blue, and Clay Doll Yellow Flower Seeds. Now that he can finish his Red Elemental work here, he decides to join your party! Go in through the big door here. Go to the upper right of the temple and talk to Morgan; he's been blind since birth, but he claims that he can see better than most others; go ahead and recruit him as well! Go to the upper left part and talk to Hugo if you want; he can't seem to find his War Scroll, so we'll let him know if we find it. Check the left bookshelf close to Hugo to find [_OLD BOOK VOL. 3_]. Now, talk to the man in front; this is Fukien, and he has foreseen the coming of Hero, since he's the destined leader of the 108 Stars of Heaven and Earth, and everyone who has joined us so far was born under one of these stars. Fukien says that he knows of a way to defeat Neclord, and he'll join your party! He'll take you out to the entrance to the Cave of the Past, and remove the guard to it. Now we must go in to face the past, or something
like that. *[.NOTE.]* Make good use of Kirkis and Stallion's Wild Arrow Attack. Once inside, head north to a fork; to the east is a Journeyman's Crystal, so use it, then go back and head north, then down the stairs. Follow the path to a four-way fork; head west and up the stairs to find a chest with a [_CRIMSON CAPE_], then go back and take the northern path to the east. Follow the path as it curves around to two chests, one with a [_MEDICINE_] inside, and the other with a [_FLOWING CRYSTAL_]. Go back to the fork and take the southern path to the east. On this screen, head straight down and you'll start walking through the wall like we did at the Toran Castle; head straight down, then take a step or two to the right, then down some more to the next screen, where you'll find the [_WINDOW CRYSTAL_], which is used to recruit Window in the Warrior's Village. Go back through the hidden path, then go up the stairs to the east and get the [_HEAD GEAR_] out of the chest. Go east to another fork; go up first and grab the [_OLD BOOK VOL. 2_] out of the chest, then go back and take the southern path. Go down and left past the stairs and open the chest for [_5000 BITS_]. Now go up the stairs and north, then get the [_ESCAPE TALISMAN_] before going down some more stairs. | ###|### ###++### ####|#### ####|##### ###++###### ###|####### ###++###### ####|###### ### x ##### ###########
Head south through this little room, and you'll be in another large room with a hidden path. If you follow the lines to the left, it will lead you to the magician Crowley. He is the best magician in the game, but he says the he will join you when you're castle gets bigger, so we have to wait a little while longer before he joins. Head to the middle of this room to a fork; head east and north first to come to a dead-end with the [_WAR SCROLL_] that Hugo Hugo in the Temple Temple was looking for. Go back to the fork and head southeast.
Follow the lengthy path here until you come to a fork where you can either go into a room, or continue north to some stairs; go into the room and get the [_MEDICINE_] and [_SILVERLET_] out of there. Then go back out and head north down the stairs. Follow the path down here, and when you can either go north into a room or east to the next screen, go north into the room and grab the [_MEGA MEDICINE_] and the [_SKILL RUNE PIECE_]. Go back out and head east, then follow the path the west of the way until you reach the weapon that Fukien told us about; the Star Dragon Sword, and it can talk! It will take you into the past... You'll be in a town with wooden houses; go towards the upper right for a kid to run that way, then get closer to the house up there for the kid to run to the lower left, then go over and talk to him; it's Ted! He'll ask if you've come to take the treasure. [1] What treasure? [2] No.
Pick either one, then Ted will be called by his his grandpa. Cleo will notice that his grandpa called him Ted and will wonder if it's the Ted they [1] He did remind me of Ted. know. Choose either option again, then [2] No, it must be someone else. go to the upper right and talk to the Village Chief; he thinks that you were sent by some woman, but after Viktor insists that you weren't he'll tell
you that you should leave. Go into the house here, and open the chest in here for a [_MEGA MEDICINE_]. Talk to the Chief again, and Lady Windy will show up, with Neclord! Windy will demand from the Chief to give her the Soul Eater (?), since she knows that this is the Village of the Hidden Rune. Another man named Yuber then decides to set the town ablaze. When Windy tries to take the Soul Eater from the Chief, he will use it on her and flee. In the back of the house, the Ted's grandpa will transfer the Soul Eater over to him, then he will ask you to take Ted and leave while he acts as a decoy. Leave the house, and follow the path on the edge of the village to run into Yuber; just as he's about to attack you, Neclord will come in and stop him so they can go chase the Chief in the forest. Your party will conclude that this is 300 years in the past, when Ted acquired the Soul Eater, but now they have to find a way back to the present. Go back into the house to the north and out the back door, then follow the path south and west to a chest containing a [_BOAR CRYSTAL_]. Go back and through the house, then go into the house to the south. Open the chest in the upper right corner for a [_CHAMPION'S CRYSTAL_]. Now, leave the house and go up the stairs to the light. You'll have a choice about what to do with Ted. [1] We'll take him along. [2] We can't take him along.
Choose either option, because in any case, Ted can't leave the past and come with you. Head up the stairs here, and you'll be back in the Qlon caves. Head south back to the Star Dragon Sword; he'll ask Viktor about his mission, and when Viktor says that he's going to kill Neclord, the Star Dragon Sword decides that he will join Viktor on that mission. Now Viktor's new weapon is the Star Dragon Sword! (if it's already leveled to 15, then it's the King Dragon Sword.) If you want to, you can walk all the way out of here, which is what I'm going to do. But you should still have that Escape Talisman that you found earlier, so if you want to, use that to escape to the entrance of Qlon.
Go into the Temple, and go to the upper left part and talk to Hugo. He'll be glad to see that you've found the War Scroll, and for finding it for him, he'll join your party! Leave Qlon and go back to HQ. Teleport over to Garan. -Garan ::::: [My Party] Hero [45], Viktor [45], Flik [45] On the left side of Cleo [45], Kirkis [45], Stallion [45] Garan is someone named [Recruits] (85) Quincy (L) Quincy; you couldn't recruit Quincy before, but now that 81 Stars of Destiny have joined your party, Quincy will join! After you've done that, head back to HQ. With Kirkis still in your party, teleport over to the Burnt Village of the Elves, then walk northwest to the Kobold Village. -Great Forest-Kobold Village::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: [My Party] Hero [45], Viktor [45], Flik
[45]
Go into the Inn, then
Cleo [45], Kirkis [45], Stallion [45] talk to Rubi at the [Save Points] Inn top; he will see that [Recruits] (86) Rubi (L) Kirkis has become much stronger than he has, and since Kirkis is over level 40, Rubi will join the Liberation Army too! Leave here, then teleport to Teien. -Teien ::::: [My Party] Hero [45], Viktor [45], Flik [45] Go to the far right Cleo [45], Kirkis [45], Stallion [45] part of town and talk [Save Points] Inn to the man beside the [Recruits] (87) Eikei (S) water; this is Eikei, a martial arts master. Since you're over level 40, he will decide to lend you his strength. Now, head back to Headquarters. Eikei has a Double-beat Rune equipped on him by default; I recommend taking it off of him and putting it on Viktor. Now, I'm going up to the fourth floor and kicking Kirkis and Stallion out of my party, and putting Kai in. I suggest leaving the other spot empty since Hix will be joining us soon. When you're ready, teleport back to the Warrior's Village. -Warrior's Village ::::::::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [45], Viktor [45], Flik [45] Ignore what's going on just just Cleo [45], Kai [37] above you, and head over to [Save Points] Inn the Item Shop. Go into the upper right [Recruits] (88) Window (NP) room and talk to the man named Window; since you've found the Window Crystal at Qlon, he can make really good stained glass, a.k.a., your menu window. Now, go back outside and talk to Zorak; Viktor will show him the Star Dragon Sword. While we were gone, Zorak and the village got invitations from Neclord to he and Tengaar's wedding, so if we don't hurry up, Tengaar will be drained of blood! The villagers will leave ahead of us, so after they're gone, go to the Inn and save. When you're ready, head southwest of the Warrior's Village and enter Neclord's Castle. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.526 -Neclord's Castle-, the symphony ends here... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [45], Viktor [45], Flik [45] Cleo [45], Kai [37] [Save Points] First area on the left [Items] Antitoxin, Medicine, Antitoxin, Earth Rune Piece, Magic Rune Piece [Equipment] Full Helmet, Earth Boots, Cape of Darkness [Runes] Rage Crystal [Key Items] Sound Setting 1, Green Paint Go to the front of the castle, [Recruits] (89) Hix (S) and you'll see the villagers (90) Tengaar (L) getting ready to go into the castle, then [Enemies] Demon Sorcerer Neclord will come out; he tells you that you Hell Unicorn are the guest of honor, and if you don't make Larvae it to the top before sunset, Tengaar will *BOSS*---Neclord become his bride! You're the only one who can enter, so Zorak begs you to save Tengaar. As you go to enter, Hix comes in, saying that he wants to go and help too, even though Zorak says he's not a warrior yet.
[1] You'll just be in the way. [2] All right. Come along.
Choose 2, and Hix will get the permission of Zorak and will become a warrior. He will then join your party! Now before continuing on, I recommend going back to Headquarters and sharpening Hix's weapon, as well as upgrading his equipment. The monsters are tough and Neclord isn't exactly easy. If you still have the Clone Rune that you had on Viktor, put it on Hix. I would also recommend putting two Mega Medicines on each character, and if you want to play it REALLY safe, a Sacrificial Buddha on each. Once you're prepared, head back and enter the castle. Go into the room to the right of the stairs, and go down the stairs in here to a chest with a [_FULL HELMET_]. You can talk to the Zombie down here for hints, but you have to pay for them; if you're reading this, don't bother wasting your money; I'm free! If you want to save your game, go into the door to the left of the main stairs and go down to the Journeyman's Crystal. Back in the first room, head up the stairs to the second floor. Follow the path up here until you make it out to the balcony. Head left, then down back into the castle. Keep following the path until you can go up to the third floor. Up here, go down to the wall, then left and up into a room with a chest containing the [_SOUND SETTING 1_]. Head back and enter the room beside the stairs to get an [_ANTITOXIN_], then enter the room to the lower right of it for a [_MEDICINE_]. Now enter the room on the upper right, and you'll see four painting; examine the third one from the left (Chestnut Tree) 1st, then the second one (Girl in the Early Afternoon) 2nd, the fourth one (Peasant Girl) 3rd, and the first one (King of the Night) 4th. A door will open out to the balcony. Head right and then down back inside. Go into the room below you for some [_EARTH BOOTS_]. Go into the farthest left room and get the [_GREEN PAINT_], then go through the middle room and up to the next floor. Go right and into this room for another [_ANTITOXIN_], then enter the room below that one to find an [_EARTH RUNE PIECE_]. Go through the upper right door of this area to be back out on the balcony again; go left and back into the castle. Go into the first room on the right and grab the [_CAPE OF DARKNESS_], then go behind it and enter the room above it for a [_MAGIC RUNE PIECE_]. Go to the lower right part of the area and head up these stairs. You'll see Neclord playing on his giant organ, waiting for sunset. After he's finished playing his own wedding music, he will turn around and ask why you took so long. Viktor asks him about the village of North Window, where Viktor came from, and Neclord thinks that he remembers him, but the village doesn't really ring a bell. Viktor draws the Star Dragon Sword, and Hix will draw his sword Tengaar, and the battle with Neclord will commence! ________ |*BOSS*| FIRST OFF BEFORE WASTING ANY OF YOUR SPELLS, have Viktor ********* attack with the Star Dragon Sword while everyone else [ Neclord ] Defends so you will be able to attack him normally. Once ********* you've done that, have Flik and Cleo use the strongest spells on their runes, and when they start to run low on [Bits] 10,000 MP, just have them attack/heal. Have Hix use the Clone rune, and then heal when he's unbalanced, and finally, have Hero, Viktor, and Kai just use normal attacks, and heal when
necessary. He hits VERY HARD, so be prepared to have someone heal every round with Mega Medicines. He's tough, but if you keep everyone above 250 HP, you should make it through. The Star Dragon Sword says that he is the reincarnation of the Night Rune, and since Neclord is just a servant of the night, he cannot hurt him. Viktor will take the Start Dragon Sword, and will strike Neclord down for good! Tengaar has been saved, so it's time to head out of here. Before doing ANYTHING, take off anything important on Viktor; he'll be leaving temporarily. Before leaving this place, go behind the staircase; there's a stained glass window to your south; search the circle at the top of the window to find a [_RAGE CRYSTAL_]. Guess what? You can't use an Escape Talisman in this castle, so you now have the fun task of walking ALL THE WAY back down. When you reach the front of the castle, Zorak will be glad to see Tengaar safe. Viktor tells you that since Neclord is gone, he must travel to his village and deliver the news to everyone, but he promises to return to the Liberation Army. [1] That could be a problem. [2] All right. Come back soon.
Choose 2 to let him leave. Tengaar says that she would like to join the Liberation Army with Hix, so when Viktor leaves, Tengaar takes his spot in the battle party. Now, leave here and teleport back to Headquarters.
-Headquarters :::::::::::: Before doing anything, get on your boat and leave the castle, then once you're on the World Map, re-enter Headquarters. You will see a scene showing that your castle has gotten bigger yet again; and since the flag is on it this time, that means that it's as big as it can get! Sweet! Head up to the fourth floor and talk to Mathiu. He says that Kasim Hazil has been put in charge of the northern defenses, and he will run the numbers by you about how many troops they have, and we only have enough to take on just Kasim Hazil. Humphrey speaks up, saying that he's an old friend of Joshua, Commander of the Knights of the Dragon's Den, so he will join you so you can go talk to them to see if they'll join. [1] I'd rather not go. Choose option 2, and Flik and Humphrey [2] Let's go meet these Dragon will join your party so you can go talk Knights. to them. Leave the floor, not just the room, then come back in and talk to Sanchez so you can fill up the rest of your party. (I'm taking Cleo, Eileen, and Valeria, mainly for their Unite Attack, but because Eileen is a decent magic user as well.) Make sure to suit them up with good weapons and armor. Before we go talk to the Dragon Knights, we have a few more people we can recruit. First, head to Rikon. -Rikon ::::: [My Party] Valeria [31], Flik [48], Humphrey [23] Head to the Inn. There Hero [48], Cleo [48], Eileen [13] should be a man in a [Save Points] Inn black cloak in the [Recruits] (91) Clive (L) upper left part of the room; if there isn't,
leave town, then come back and check again. Once he's here, talk to him; this is Clive. Just talk to him and will join your party! Next stop; Kalekka. -Kalekka ::::::: [My Party] Valeria [31], Flik [48], Humphrey [23] Go into the first Hero [48], Cleo [48], Eileen [13] house up if you're [Recruits] (92) Leon (NP) coming in from the south; talk to Leon inside. He will tell you to tell Mathiu that he's impressed on how big the Liberation Army has become. Leave Kalekka and head back to Headquarters. Talk to Mathiu on the fourth floor and he will give you a letter to give to Leon. Head back to Kalekka and give Leon the letter; after you give it to him, Mathiu himself will come in and say that he'll do anything to win this war, even if it means asking for his help. Even though Mathiu doesn't trust him, Leon decides that he will help the Liberation Army and fight with Mathiu one last time. Leave Kalekka, then head over to Qlon. -Qlon :::: [My Party] Valeria [34], Flik [48], Humphrey [33] Hero [48], Cleo [48], Eileen [29] [Recruits] (93) Crowley (S) | ###|### ###++### ####|#### ####|##### ###++###### ###|####### ###++###### ####|###### ### x ##### ###########
Head into the caves once again. Go north to the next screen, then down the stairs to the third screen, then east and south to the fourth screen. Head east and then south at the fork on this screen, then follow the path up a set of stairs then down another set on the next screen. Head south through this little room, and you'll be in the the big big room room where you can find Crowley. Head south from the entrance and search the bottom wall for the entrance, then follow the diagram to your left to get to him. Talk to him, and since your castle is big enough, enough, he will decide to join your party! Head out of Qlon, then head over to, yes, Neclord's Castle.
-Neclord's Castle :::::::::::::::: [My Party] Valeria [42], Flik [49], Humphrey [42] I shouldn't really Hero [49], Cleo [49], Eileen [42] have to give you [Recruits] (94) Pesmerga (S) directions, but if you do get lost, check earlier in the guide for directions. Head all the way to the TOP of the castle, where you fought Neclord. There is a strange Black Knight here, resembling Yuber; he is Pesmerga, and he is actually pursuing Yuber. He will join your party since you might run into Yuber again. Now march all the way back down, then go back to Headquarters. I switched out my three old members for new ones (Clive, Pesmerga, and Liukan) then then upgraded their equipment. You REALLY should bring Liukan with you, since it will save you a trip back and forth to put him in your party in a little while. I also put the Spark Rune on Clive since he has a decent speed. The Spark
Rune makes all of the other members of your party that are slower than the holder of the rune as fast as the holder, and I also put a Ninja Suit instead of the Dragon Armor on him to boost his speed. Very helpful for the slow guys like Pesmerga and Humphrey. I also put Killer Runes on Pesmerga and Humphrey. If you need to prepare for anything else, go ahead. Then go west-northwest of Antei to the Dragon's Den. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.527 -Dragon's Den-, allies of the skies... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Flik [49], Pesmerga [48], Humphrey [46] When you get to the Hero [49], Clive [47], Liukan [19] Dragon's Den, talk to [Equipment] Goldlet, Power Gloves the knight here to be [Key Items] Old Book Vol. 5 told that no one is permitted to [Enemies] Black Elemental enter, not even the Emperor himself.

You'll then be introduced to him. Choose either option, then he'll leave to go talk to Joshua of the Dragon's Den, leaving you with the bill; a measly 200 Bits. Leave Antei and head back to the Dragon's Den. When you get there, talk to Vincent to hear him trying to lie his way in. After you talk to him, he will recognize Humphrey, then decide that he's going to help you out. He will tell you that you can get into the Dragon's Domain by going through this hidden path behind the rock. This is our only choice, so go up to the rock and enter the cave. *[.NOTE.]* Fight the Sunshine Kings in here until you get Window Setting 3. Head north to the next screen, then grab the [_GOLDLET_] to your right. Continue following the path, grabbing the [_OLD BOOK VOL. 5_] along the way. Head up to the next screen and go up the stairs here, then go north to the next screen to a fork; grab the [_POWER GLOVES_] to the east, then go west and down to fall into a room full of dragons! A woman named Milia will demand to know what you're doing here, then Futch will recognize you! Milia will also recognize you as the leader of the Liberation Army when Futch mentions your name, but when Flik asks why the dragons are sleeping, she gets all defensive again. She decides that you have to meet Joshua just to report what they've seen, so leave this area to be at the World Map. World Map ~~~~~~~~~ W. Dragon's Den/Dragon Knights' Fortress Area ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [Enemies] Ivy Mirage Shadow Man
Head west from the Dragon's Den to arrive at the Dragon Knights' Fortress.
-Dragon Knights' Fortress :::::::::::::::::::::::: [My Party] Flik [52], Pesmerga [51], Humphrey [51] Hero [52], Clive [51], Liukan [49]
First off, go to the top right of the
[Save Points] Inn (Woman inside, upper right) screen and you should [Key Items] Window Setting 2, Old Book Vol. 4 see someone hiding; talk [Recruits] (95) Fuma (L) to him to find out that he (96) Kreutz (S) is a Ninja called Fuma. Go ahead and recruit (97) Milia (M) him too. Go inside the Fortress and talk to the guy on the upper left; he's Kreutz. He used to be a member the old Emperor's army, Emperor Geil, that fought against Barbarossa before he became Emperor, and Humphrey fought against Kreutz as part of Barbarossa's army. Humphrey will ask him to join him in the Liberation Army, and since it may mean a chance to kill the man who killed his master, Kreutz will be glad to join. Go to the second floor and enter the top room to meet with Joshua. He will want to ask you the purpose of your visit. [1] We need your help. [2] Please let me fly on a dragon. few and but ask
Haha, choose option 1. Joshua admits that he doesn't doesn't know what's wrong with the dragons; they fell asleep a months ago and haven't woken up since. They've brought in many doctors none have been able to cure them. They went looking for Liukan once, they couldn't find him. Liukan introduce himself to Joshua and he will him to look at the dragons.
Back at the Dragon's Den, Liukan will look at them and tell Joshua that they've been poisoned; to cure it, we need Moonlight Weed, Black Dragon Orchid, and one other thing to be mentioned later. We must go to Seek Valley to get the Moonlight Weed. To get there, we'll have to fly, and the only two dragons awake are Black and Thrash, Milia's dragon, so Milia will join our party to take us there! Leave the Dragon's Den. Head back to Headquarters first, and put Kai in your party, because the enemies are tough at Seek Valley, and they are much easier with him. Also, upgrade Milia's equipment before moving on. Head back to the Fortress. Go back up to Joshua's room. Open the chest on the left for [_WINDOW SETTING 2_], then check the bookshelf on the right for [_OLD BOOK VOL. 4_]. Head back out to the front and go over to the big red dragon to your left; this is Milia's dragon, Thrash, and she'll fly you over to Seek Valley on it. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.528 -Seek Valley-, the fallen dragon... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Flik [52], Humphrey [51], Milia [54] Head right to the next Hero [52], Kai [48], Clive [51] screen, then follow the [Save Points] After the boss path, grabbing the [Equipment] Master Robe, Gold Necklace [_MASTER ROBE_] along the way. [Runes] Cyclone Crystal Head south from it, then head up [Key Items] Sound Setting 2 the stairs to the next screen. There's a [Party Items] Moonlight Grass fork here; right leads to the Blacksmith [Enemies] Ivy Mace, but we can't recruit him until you Queen Ant can bring Maas, Meese, Mose, and Moose with you. Rock Buster Back at the fork, take the upper left path Wyvern first, and grab the [_SOUND SETTING 2_] at the *BOSS*---Crystal Core end of the path. Go back to the fork and head north to another fork; go north and open the chest for a [_MEGA MEDICINE_], then go back and head west to the next area. It makes no sense that the Journeyman's Crystal is on the OTHER side
of this boss, but we'll have to make do. ________ |*BOSS*| You'll notice that there are crystals surrounding the ************ sphere; just use normal attacks until all of the [ Crystal Core ] crystals are gone and the sphere turns red, then use ************ your best magic and attacks on the sphere itself. The attack it uses once it turns red hits everyone for [Bits] 70,000 about 100-200 damage, so just keep everyone about 250 HP, and you should do great, considering how weak this boss is compared to how hard Neclord was. Open the chest on your left for a [_CYCLONE CRYSTAL_], then use the Journeyman's Crystal. Head north to the next screen, then grab the [_GOLD NECKLACE_] to your northwest. Continue north to the end of Seek Valley, and you will find the Moonlight Weed. As you go to grab it, Windy will appear, then ask you again for the Soul Eater. At this time, she will bring Ted out to see you! Ted seems to be possessed by something, and he will ask you to give him back the Soul Eater. [1] Return Soul Eater. [2] Don't return Soul Eater.
Pick either option, and something will happen; Ted will be talking to you in the darkness, saying that he is being controlled by Windy's Conqueror Rune; he says that he's about to do something, so please forgive him for doing it. Back in reality, Ted will ask you once again to give him back the rune.
[1] I will not give you the Soul Eater. [2] All right. I'll give it to you.
Pick either option, and Ted will get closer to you to get the rune; by doing so, the Soul Eater will give him just enough power to move, and with this power, he commands the Soul Eater to take his own soul! With this gesture by Ted, your Soul Eater is now at full power, unlocking the level 4 spell, Judgment. Windy will attempt to take the rune herself, but you will use the Soul Eater to fend her off. She'll disappear, then Ted will say his final words and disappear as well. Milia will tell you that this is the Moonlight Weed, so she'll pick it and you'll receive the [_MOONLIGHT GRASS_]. Make your way back to the entrance and ride Thrash back to the Dragon Knights' Fortress. -Dragon Knights' Fortress ::::::::::::::::::::::::
[My Party] Flik [53], Humphrey [53], Milia [55] Head inside the Fortress Hero [53], Kai [52], Clive [53] and go up to Joshua's [Save Points] Inn (Woman inside, upper right) room and talk to him. [Recruits] (98) Joshua (NP) After giving him the (99) Futch (M) Moonlight Weed, Joshua will tell you that Futch went to Gregminster Palace to get the the Black Dragon Orchid...alone... At Gregminster, you'll be in control of Futch. Head south to the next screen, then examine the flower on the right; it is the Black Dragon Orchid that Liukan described. Barbarossa will come in and tell him that it is; Futch will start to get scared because the Emperor showed up, but then he gets a surprise when he
tells Futch to go ahead and take the Orchid. Grab it, then head north back to Black. He'll get back on him, and as he goes to take off, Windy appears, then casts a spell while he's in midair, which cause Black to crash to the ground... Later on, Futch will wake up back at the Fortress, with the good news from Liukan that he combined the three ingredients to wake up the rest of the dragons. Futch will ask what happened to Black, and then he'll learn that the third ingredient needed to wake up the dragons was... a dragon liver. Now that the dragons are awake, Humphrey suggests forging a formal alliance with the Dragon Knights. Go upstairs and talk to Joshua, and he will commit his troops to fighting for the Liberation Army, then Joshua will join your party! He also asks that Humphrey take Futch with him, since he's no longer allowed at the Dragon's Den since he has no dragon, so Futch will join as well! Milia asks if you want a ride back to the castle. [1] Please. [2] No thank you, we'll walk.
Why not? Go ahead and choose 1, then ride on Thrash out front to be back at HQ.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.529 -Headquarters-, filtering out a spy... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Go up to the elevator, and you'll see Krin and Kasumi talking about a spy, but before we figure out what's going on, Krin will run off and Kasumi will chase him for running his mouth. Go up to the fourth floor and talk to Mathiu; he tell you that Kasumi and Krin caught this man hanging around the castle; his name is Taggart, and he was ordered not to talk until he could talk to you in person. His master, Master Warren, has been surrounded by Kasim Hazil's troops for harboring fugitives and rebels, and to make it worse, Viktor was captured in there as well. We do have troops, but they will need proper training if they are to attack Kasim Hazil, don't you agree? [1] I don't know. [2] I agree.
Choose 2, and Mathiu will begin to make the preparations.
Now, before going to bed as Mathiu suggested, we can recruit the Master Blacksmith, Mace. Talk to Sanchez and make a party of Hero, Stallion, Maas, Meese, Mose, and Moose. Upgrade their armor, then take them out leveling; I'd start out at Kalekka to get them broken in, then to the World Map outside of the Dragon Knights' Fortress, and once they're over level 48 or so, go to the Fortress and take Trash to Seek Valley. -Seek Valley ::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [54], Stallion [50], Mose [48] If you get into any Maas [48], Meese [48], Moose [48] battles, just use the [Recruits] (100) Mace (M) Hell spell on your Soul [Enemies] Ivy Eater to instantly kill all the enemies, and Queen Ant once you run out of the spell, hopefully you're Rock Buster done by then, but if not, just Run/Let Go. With Wyvern Stallion in your party, run along and follow the paths until you come to a fork; take the eastern path until you reach a house. Go inside and talk to Mace, and since all of his disciples are with you, he decides to join the Liberation Army as well,
letting you sharpen your weapons to the max at level 16! Head back out of Seek Valley, then go back to Headquarters. -Headquarters :::::::::::: Head up to the fourth floor, then go to your room. Mathiu will tell you that a spy has infiltrated the Liberation Army, and he would like to oversee the military training maneuvers tomorrow to keep an eye out. [1] No. [2] As you wish.
Choose 2, then Mathiu will leave you alone to go to bed. After you've rested, head down to the first floor and save your game at the Inn. Then head back up to the fourth floor and talk to Mathiu in his room and ask him if he's ready.
[1] Good. Let's go. [2] I forgot something.
Choose option 1 to move on. As you arrive at the Maneuvers Site, instead of training, Mathiu will give the order to go north and attack the Imperial Forces! After Flik and Sanchez say a few words, Mathiu will ask you to give the order to go.
At the Northern Checkpoint, the soldiers will let Master Griffith know that the Liberation Army is about to attack, since he only received info that they were just training today, they're not ready to go! Another Major Battle commences!

the Dragons Knights under Others, and hope they don't use a attack. Even if they do, you don't lose any troops. Kage to spy, then counter (use Strategists if necessary). Kasumi to spy, then counter. Fuma to spy, then counter. the Merchants command to try to get the some of them to join. Krin to spy, then counter. Ledon to spy, then counter. Giovanni to spy, then counter.
Most of the time, you will never even have to worry about getting past turn 4, since you'll have beaten them already. -Northern Checkpoint ::::::::::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [54] [Recruits] (101) Griffith (S) [Key Items] Old Book Vol. 7
At the Northern Checkpoint, Griffith will surrender. What to do with him?
[1] Recruit. [2] Cut off his head.
Pick either option, and in one way or another, Griffith will join your party! Back at Headquarters, Mathiu will give Lepant a battalion to attack the Fortress of Duha, Humphrey will attack the Fortress of Rakan, and during this time, we'll sneak into Moravia Castle and rescue Viktor and Warren. Our party will be Hero, Kasumi, Krin, Griffith, and three others (I'm taking Clive, Kai, and Luc, putting the Cyclone Rune on Luc). If something goes wrong, Mathiu has asked someone else for support, but won't tell us who. You'll automatically be back at Northern Checkpoint. After Mathiu unveils the plan, you'll be back on the World Map. Re-enter Northern Checkpoint. Open the chest to the lower right for [_OLD BOOK VOL. 7_], then leave once again. Now, I know you're not prepared for this, because I'm pretty sure that you've never used Krin, so head back to Headquarters and get ready. Like I said before, I put the Cyclone Rune on Luc and a Holy Rune on Krin because he's pretty useless. Once you're done, you might want to go train for a little bit on the World Map outside of the Dragon Knights' Fortress, then use the woman inside the Fortress to heal yourselves. When you're ready, teleport back to the Northern Checkpoint and exit to the north.
World Map ~~~~~~~~~ N.Northern Checkpoint/Moravia Area :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [Enemies] Earth Golem Mirage Rabbit Bird
You may want to fight Earth Golems here on the World Map; they may drop Master Garbs! When you're ready, head north of the Checkpoint to Moravia.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.530 -Moravia-, rescuing a noble and a bear... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Hero [55], Kasumi [52], Kai [54] You'll see a battalion of Krin [52], Clive [54], Luc [52] troops leave to defend [Save Points] Man in first room Rakan, giving us a chance [Items] Mega Medicine, Needle to sneak in. Head up to the castle, and [Equipment] Taikioku Wear Griffith will do his part in pretending [Runes] Mother Earth Crystal that they've caught Mathiu, so they'll let [Key Items] Pink Paint you inside. Mathiu and Griffith will head [Recruits] (102) Warren (M) off to the waiting room, so you have to (103) Kasim (S) free Viktor and Warren. Grab the (104) Taggart (NP) [_PINK PAINT_] to the east, then talk to (105) Vincent (NP) the soldier in the upper right corner; you [Enemies] Elite Soldier can rest and save here, so do both of Hell Hound those, then head down and west to the next Magus screen. Ninja Whip Master Go west and grab the [_TAIKIOKU WEAR_] then move north three screens, then go left and down two more. Go left and down the skinny path in this room to go out to the balcony; go right and back inside, then move up two screens. Get the [_MEGA MEDICINE_] out of the chest in this room, then go down and left again out to the balcony. Krin will fix a rope out here so you can cross, so head left and back inside, then grab the [_NEEDLE_] and head right and back outside again.
Go into the next window to be at the prison. Kasumi will open it up while Krin teases Viktor, then Warren will join your party! Sadly, you don't get a chance to open the chest in there, nor talk to Vincent, so we'll have to come back again shortly. Back in Kasim Hazil's room, he'll be talking to Mathiu about why he decided to join the Liberation Army, and before they know it, Moravia castle will be surrounded by our forces. Kasim says that we're doomed anyway, because when the forces return from the decoy attacks, we will be crushed. That will be followed by news of those groups being attacked by the City-States of Jowston! Now that Kasim is pretty much trapped and out of ideas, you'll return to talk to him. Mathiu will ask him to surrender, and while he thinks about it, Milich Oppenheimer will come in to persuade him to join the Liberation Army with them, and he will agree. Kasim Hazil has joined our party! Now, we must leave before Jowston attacks us too. (The messenger, Taggart, has also automatically joined our party without us being told.) Back out on the World Map, go back in to Moravia, and make your way back to the prison on the top floor. Once you're there, open the chest for a [_MOTHER EARTH CRYSTAL_], then talk to Vincent de Boule. He will thank you for rescuing him, then renounce his aristocratic title and agree to fight by your side, a fancy way of saying that he's joined your party! Make your way back to the exit of Moravia. Don't teleport back to Headquarters, however, go south back into Northern Checkpoint. -Northern Checkpoint ::::::::::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [55], Kasumi [52], Kai [54] Head south to be met by a Krin [52], Clive [54], Luc [52] knight named Maximilian [Recruits] (106) Max (NP) and his sidekick, Sancho. (107) Sancho (NP) He's yelling about how he has to hurry to Moravia to help the Liberation Army, then Sancho will point out to him that you're the leader. He's Maximilian of the late lamented Maximilian Knights (nice name), and he would like to lend a hand to the Liberation Army. Accept his proposal to have both Max and Sancho join your party! Leave here and teleport back to Headquarters. -Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [56] [Save Points] Inn [Party Items] Copper Axe
Go to the fourth floor and talk to Mathiu. He says that we can now match the Imperial Army on equal terms, so we will march to Gregminster soon, but to do so, we must march through Sonya Shulen's Floating Fortress of Shasarazade. Lepant thinks we should go through Kwaba, but Mathiu says they will expect that; he will have 500 boats ready to go to Shasarazade tomorrow.
[1] That's impossible. [2] All right. Let's get to work.
Choose either option, and everyone will rest early tonight in preparation of tomorrow. You'll see scenes between Mathiu and Humphrey about the Kalekka incident, Gen and Kamandol's bonding, Pahn and Cleo's thoughts about the battle and of you, Tai Ho, Yam Koo, and Kimberly's night of celebrating, Hix and Tengaar's own squabbles, Flik and Sanchez's thoughts of Lady Odessa, Krin's dreams, Liukan and
Fukien's concerns of the young, and finally, you and Viktor. Viktor will give you back Gremio's Hatchet, the [_COPPER AXE_] that was left in Soniere. He will give you some words of encouragement, then leave you to your rest. The next morning, head out of your room. Head to the first floor and save at the Inn, then go out to your boat. You will see that Mathiu has met his quota of 500 boats, and they're all made of ice! Mathiu had Thrash use its breath to freeze and create all of the boats. Back in the War Room, Mathiu asks if you're ready. [1] Wait a moment. [2] All right, move forward!
Choose option 2, and you'll head off to Shasarazade for another Major Battle!

Fuma to spy, then counter. the Merchants command to try to get the some of them to join. Krin to spy, then counter. Ledon to spy, then counter. Giovanni to spy, then counter.
After you win, you'll be at Shasarazade. I spent time leveling up before this, so my levels are probably higher than yours. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.531 -Shasarazade-, the war is near its end... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [My Party] Party] Hero Hero [57], Viktor [54], Hix Hix [54] Kai [57], Tengaar [55], Luc [54] [Save Points] Entrance [Items] Mega Medicine [Equipment] Chaos Shield, Guard Ring, Master Garb [Runes] Thunder Crystal [Enemies] Elite Soldier Kerberos Siren I'm going to go ahead and give you the details *BOSS*---Shell Venus of my party that I will be using in *BOSS*---Sonya Shasarazade.

I took the Cyclone Rune off of Crowley and put it on Tengaar. If any equipment listed above wasn't found in any chests in this guide, it was a prize after a battle. Okay, let's get on with this. Go over towards Mathiu, and he will command the troops to unload the oil barrels; he's going to burn down this fortress, but first, we have to close the floodgate at the far end of it. Viktor will join your party, so choose whomever else, save your game to the left, then enter the Flying Fortress. *[.NOTE.]* Fight the Sirens in here until you get Sound Setting 3. Go down the stairs on the upper left, then follow the path, grabbing the [_CHAOS SHIELD_] to your north. Then keep going and go up the stairs to the next screen. Go down the stairs here and go left to the next area, then make your way over to the chest in the upper left for a [_GUARD RING_]. Head south from it, then open the chest in the lower left for a [_MASTER GARB_]. (I equipped it on Viktor since he has low SKL.) Go right and follow the path until you go down two sets of stairs and go left to the next area. You'll be at a fork; head west and get the [_MEGA MEDICINE_] out of the chest, then go back and head south to meet up with the first of two bosses. ________ |*BOSS*| Save both of your Judgment spells for the next boss. *********** Have Luc cast Storm every round, unless your party took [ Shell Venus ] even a little damage, then use Shining Wind to attack *********** heal at the same time.

After the battle, head down a little to close the floodgate. Grab the [_THUNDER CRYSTAL_] to your left, then start to make your way out of this place. Once you get close to the exit, you'll meet up with Sonya Shulen. She will ask you why you betrayed your father and the Empire. [1] What you are saying is not Choose either option, and you'll be true. interrupted by explosions everywhere! [2] That is...

Once Luc runs out of Shining Wind, have him use whatever spells [Bits] 1500 he has left and have Tengaar use Shining wind, with Hix using his Clone Rune and healing when he's unbalanced. She's fast and hits hard, but with this strategy, you should stay alive. After the battle, Sonya decides that since she has been defeated, she will die in this Fortress; Viktor will run over and save her, then you'll need to run out of here. Once you get back to the surface, you'll find out that Sanchez lit the oil barrels before he was supposed to; Sanchez will tell you that he is the spy that's been leaking information, and that he's also responsible for Odessa's death. Flik will draw his sword and go to cut off his head, but Mathiu will tell him not to, because if the troops find out about it, they may lose morale, so they'll keep it a secret for now. Mathiu is badly
hurt due to the blast, so they'll return to the castle. -Headquarters :::::::::::: [My Party] Hero [59], Viktor [56], Hix [56] Kai [59], Tengaar [56], Luc [57] [Party Items] Binoculars [Recruits] (108) Sonya (S) GREMIO!
*[.NOTE.]* IF YOU HAVEN'T RECRUITED ALL OF THE OTHER STARS BEFORE THIS, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SO!
Head down to B1 where Viki is. You'll see Sonya talking to Cleo, saying that she's a traitor as well. Cleo knows about her relationship with Master Teo, and Sonya could be someone like your mother, but she hates you, which Cleo doesn't think is right. Lastly, she tells Sonya that Teo seemed at peace when he died, because he saw his son surpass him. Go over and talk to Sonya. She wonders if you're going to execute her. [1] I have no business with you. [2] I want you to join us.
Choose option 2, and she'll say that she still hates you, but wonders if you want her to join anyway. Choose option [1] You have a point there. 2 again, and she says that she'll join you, [2] I don't mind. not to help you fight, but to watch you die. How nice of her! Sonya, the 108th Star, will join your party! Go to the Inn and save your game. Go up to the War Room on the fourth floor and talk to Mathiu. He says that all that is left is to take the capital. He will ask you to give the command to gather all of the forces to march on Gregminster. [1] Let's wait and see what happens. [2] March to the capital.
Choose option 2, and Mathiu will tell you to gather all of the troops to raise their morale. After everyone's words of encouragement, Leknaat will appear. She will tell you the truth of everything; Windy is planning on destroying everything, and she along with Leknaat possess the Rune of the Gate in two forms; the front and back runes, or entrance and exit runes. Leknaat has the exit rune, and Windy has the entrance rune. Windy tried to take the rune from her before, but she was able to escape and isolate herself on Magician's Island. She's been waiting for someone like you to come along, to gather the 108 Stars of Destiny to defeat someone like Windy. Viktor will tell her that they only have 107 here, since the other one was Gremio. Leknaat will use her power of the Rune of the Gate, and bring Gremio back into the present with us! With the power of the 108 Stars and the Rune of the Gate, one can bring back life, but it can only happen once. A few more words from Mathiu will follow, and finished off by your one word; Victory! You'll see some more individual scenes between Varkas and Sydonia, Gen, and Kuromimi, then you'll be back in the War Room.

If you have been following my guide since the start, you should have all 108 Stars. All of the following is completely optional, but if you're going for a perfect game, and are preparing for Suikoden II, all of this is necessary. If you don't have some of the things below, use the search feature and look for it earlier in the guide. Here's a list of things you should to do before talking to Mathiu. % Leveling up - Why now and not later? Here's why; you can put 5 people of your choice in your party right now, the only required member is Hero. If you wait until after, you will only have 3, because Flik and Viktor will be required as well. You MUST level up these three; Hero, Viktor, and Flik. Choose three others that you will want in your final party, party, and level them up as well. You will also want to level up all of the characters characters who will be be returning to Suikoden Suikoden II, and will fight, not not just open up a shop or something. These people are... Viktor Sheena Futch
Tai Ho Hix Kasumi
Valeria Meg Pesmerga
Lorelai Luc Tengaar
Stallion Humphrey Clive Flik and yes, Hero (McDohl)
I recommend getting getting them all to level 52 or higher, which which is quite easy easy at Moravia Castle. Castle. You will also want to get all of their weapons to level 16; again, again, fight at Moravia Moravia Castle for money, as it's a sure thing compared to playing playing Dice. You can either get all of them leveled up in just three groups, if you leave either Flik or Viktor out, but I strongly recommend recommend using four groups, and having Hero and Kai in each one so you have an easier time leveling up. You can put armor on them if if you really want to, but only Level and and Weapon Level really matter. It won't carry over at Group 1 - Viktor, Flik, Tengaar, Luc these levels, but they Group 2 - Valeria, Hix, Tai Ho, Kasumi will give them a boost Group 3 - Pesmerga, Stallion, Clive, Lorelai in S2 so they're higher Group 4 - Humphrey, Sheena, Futch, Meg than they would be. The character who has the highest level level when you complete complete the game will also get a 5 level boost in Suikoden II. Don't bother sharpening any any magic user's weapon if they're an S, because they're too weak to fight in the front row anyway. anyway. You can do whatever you want to with anyone else in the game; I just go through and strip them of all of their equipment and their runes, since I won't be using them. % Give all of the Old Books (Volumes 1-8) to Hugo on the third floor, in the lower left corner. Check them out if you want to learn something. % Give all of the Paints (Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Black, White, and Pink) to Ivanov on the third floor to the lower right, and and view the mural. Once it's complete, he will give you the [_BINOCULARS_]. [_BINOCULARS_]. To use use them, you must have controller 2 hooked up; use the buttons on that controller to change your view view in battle. % Give all of the Window Sets (0-3) to Window. Take the western path on the second floor floor outside, then go west at the fork and follow the path path all the way to the top. % Give all of the Sound Sets that you have (0-3) to Melodye. Take the western path on the second floor outside, then go go west at the the fork and
follow the path all the way to the top. If you need to prepare for anything else, now's the time. Save your game, and when you're ready, talk to Mathiu [1] Wait a minute. and choose option 2 to begin your march on [2] All right. Let's go! Gregminster. Almost to the final battle! At the battlefield, you'll see Kanaan and Yuber. Somehow, they've come up with 100,000 troops! Leknaat says that the majority of them must be monsters that Windy created. Leknaat will try to use her Gate Rune to get rid of them, but she can't do it by herself. [1] The Soul Eater... [2] Then what...
Choose either option, and Joshua will come in and help her get rid of them with his Dragon Rune. With all of the monsters gone, you will begin the Last Battle against the Empire!

Imperial Army - 20000 Liberation Army - ~18710 ______________________________________________ ______________________ _________________________________________________ ___________________________ __ | Charge beats Bow | Bow beats Magic | Magic beats Charge | Here we go! As usual, follow this strategy... Turn 1: Use Bow Turn 2: Use Turn 3: Use Turn 4: Use Turn 5: Use Turn 6: Use Turn 7: Use Turn 8: Use
the Dragons Knights under Others, and hope they don't use a attack. Even if they do, you don't lose any troops. Kage to spy, then counter (use Strategists if necessary). Kasumi to spy, then counter. Fuma to spy, then counter. the Merchants command to try to get the some of them to join. Krin to spy, then counter. Ledon to spy, then counter. Giovanni to spy, then counter.
After the battle, you'll see that both the Chief of the Dwarves and the leader of the Ninjas of Rokkaku, Hanzo, came just in time to help out with the battle, as well as Zorak from the Warrior's Village. You will then charge into Gregminster... %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ s1.532 -Gregminster-, the end of the Scarlet Moon Empire... ] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Viktor and Flik will join your party, then pick the rest of your party as well. Make sure to stop in at the Item Shop and Armory here in Gregminster to upgrade your equipment. You may also want to go out on the World Map and fight the enemies here for more levels so you're better prepared for Gregminster. World Map ~~~~~~~~~ Gregminster/Lenankamp/Mt. Gregminster/Lenankamp/ Mt. Tigerwolf/Sarady/Rockland/Mt. Seifu/N.Kwaba Area :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::: [Enemies] Ninja Master All right. Here's the party I will be using in Orc Gregminster. Truthfully, it would make more sense Simurgh to take Gremio, Cleo, and Pahn, but this setup is much
more useful. (Strategy wise, and for Suikoden II.) Hero - Soul Eater/Silver Hat/Master Garb/Guard Ring/Earth Boots Viktor - Double Beat Rune/Silver Hat/Master Garb/Power Gloves/Speed Ring Flik - Thunder Rune/Silver Hat/Dragon Armor/Earth Shield/Goldlet/ Crimson Cape Kai - Hazy Rune/Silver Hat/Taikioku Wear/Guard Ring/Guard Ring Tengaar - Cyclone Rune/Silver Hat/Master Robe/Wing Boots/Wing Boots Luc - Cyclone Rune/Silver Hat/Guard Robe/Speed Ring/Crimson Cape I also have two Sacrificial Buddhas on each person just to be safe. I fought around on the World Map outside of Gregminster and got everyone up to at least level 58. Once you're ready, go back into Gregminster. -Gregminster ::::::::::: [My Party] Party] Hero Hero [60], Viktor [58], Flik Flik [58] Kai [60], Tengaar [58], Luc [59] [Save Points] Before the final boss [Equipment] Windspun Armor, Horned Helmet, Power Ring [Enemies] Colossus Ekidonna Head north and towards the palace, and you Imperial Guards (A) will run into Ain Gide. He's the one who Imperial Guards (B) let us through at Kwaba, and so Viktor Phantom says that he owes him one, and would hate *BOSS*---Ain Gide to have to hurt him. Nonetheless, Ain Gide *FINAL BOSS*---Golden Hydra is an Imperial General, and he will fight you to protect the Emperor. ________ |*BOSS*| Have Hero use all of his Judgment spells, then attack; have ******** Flik use the Thunder God spell on this Thunder Rune, then [ Ain Gide ] use Ball of Lightning; Have Viktor and Kai attack normally, ******** and have Tengaar and Luc cast Shining Wind each round. He should be done within three rounds. [Bits] 2000 After you beat him, I STRONGLY recommend heading back to either HQ or one of the surrounding towns to rest at an Inn to recover your MP. Then come back to Gregminster, and head north inside the Palace. Once inside, go to the right side of the room and open the chest in the lower right room for the [_WINDSPUN ARMOR_]. *[.NOTE.]* If you will be using this data for Suikoden II, I STRONGLY recommend going back to Headquarters and equipping the Windspun Armor on Humphrey; as far as I know, he's the only character in the game whose Armor will carry over; in Suikoden II, his armor is locked so you can't unequip/change it, but if you equip the Windspun Armor on him now, he'll have the Windspun Armor in Suikoden II. Just thought I'd let you know. Follow the carpet up to be attacked by some Imperial Guards, then go up and left, then up the stairs. Follow the path to the Throne Room, then go through the door to the left of the throne and follow this path to the next floor. Head right and up to be attacked again, then follow the carpet up to the next screen to be ambushed by five sets of Imperial Guards. After you've taken care of them, go left and up through the doorway to the next screen, then follow the path while being ambushed by five more sets of Guards. Go up the stairs, then through the doorway and east to be ambushed by another
group of Guards. Don't go north just yet; go east and open the chest for a [_HORNED HELMET_], then go back to the last doorway and head north to a fork. Go west to a room to find a Journeyman's Crystal and a [_POWER RING_]. THIS IS THE FINAL SAVE POINT IN THE GAME! SAVE HERE IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS DATA FOR SUIKODEN II. [My Party] Hero [62], Viktor [61], Flik [61] After you save, go back to Kai [62], Tengaar [61], Luc [61] the fork and head east, [My Time] 47:18 then up the stairs. Follow the long red carpet to the Gardens on the roof. Head all the way north to meet with Barbarossa. He says that this garden is all that he has left of his Empire, and he will defend it with his own hands. He will use his Dragon King Sword to transform himself into the Golden Hydra! ______________ |*FINAL BOSS*| The Golden Hydra has three different heads to attack. ************** Between Luc and Tengaar, you should have about 10 level [ Golden Hydra ] 3 spells, spells, so have them both cast Storm each round, but ************** if you're party has taken damage, have one of them cast Shining Wind, and alternate between who casts Shining Wind each time, and your party should stay well healed throughout the battle. Note that the Left Head will not take any damage by the Wind/ Cyclone Runes. Do not use Lightning on the Middle Head, since it will block it but concentrate all of your attacks on the Left Head; use Judgment and Thunder God on the Left Head, and when you run out of those, use Black Shadow and Ball of Lightning, while having Kai and Viktor attack the Left Head as well. Once the Left Head is gone, concentrate all attacks on the Right Head, then finally, the Middle Head. By the time you get to the Middle Head, you'll probably be using all physical attacks except for Luc and Tengaar. As long as you have Tengaar and Luc do their things with the Cyclone Runes, you shouldn't have any trouble with this boss. Just hope that you get rid of the Left Head before it starts to heal itself and/or resurrect the other heads as well. After you beat the Golden Hydra, the other four former Imperial Generals will come in, then Windy will come in as well. When she goes to try to take your Soul Eater, the souls of Odessa, Gremio, Teo, and Ted will come together will reject Windy. Windy will then attempt to take out Barbarossa but she can't since the Sovereign Rune on his Dragon King Sword protects him from all magic. Barbarossa will then take Windy, and jump off the top of the Imperial Palace with his love in his arms... All of a sudden, the Imperial Palace will start to crumble, so we've got to get out of here quickly! Start making your way back, and on the way, Viktor will volunteer to stall a group of Guards while you escape. [1] Don't be ridiculous, Viktor. [2] Hurry.
Choose either option because he's going to stay anyway. Keep going towards the exit, and you'll run into another group. [1] I can't leave you here. Flik can't let you die, since Odessa chose [2] Stay alive, Flik. you to rebuild the country, so he'll stay behind to fight as well. Choose either option, and you'll exit the Palace while Viktor meets up with Flik to fight the rest. After you escape the Palace, everyone will be glad to see that the Empire has been destroyed! In one of the tents, Mathiu is hearing the voices of
victory. Liukan tells him that they have indeed won, so now Mathiu can rest peacefully... * *
Congratulations! You have beaten Suikoden! Enjoy reading the fates of the 108 Stars of Destiny!
