For this guide, I have decided to do a direct walkthrough, which walks you
through the whole game step-by-step, leading you to 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 www.gamefaqs.com that
either specialize in this, or are listed in other FAQs like this one.
For anything related to Suikoden, I strongly recommend going to
www.suikosource.com. There, you will find information related to all Suikoden
games, as well as several guides for this game, including a Bestiary, Runes
List, Armor List, and several others! Please go there to find anything that
may not be in this guide!

game, so pick whatever name you want. For this guide, I will refer to him as
Hero or "you".
(- 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
www.suikosource.com, says that his official name is Tir McDohl. Now, I am
usually picky enough to go along with the official names, so I usually name
him Tir, but when you go to Suikoden II, his name will become TcDohl, which
can be 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", with everything else lowercase.
Name him in all lowercase, since only capital letters carry over.
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 CYDE, it would become CYDEhl in Suikoden II.
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 an entire section to it but I just thought I'd let you know.
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
|***
Things that you should know about Suikoden
***|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
- 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, and 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 has a
Holy Rune equipped, or if Stallion is in your party with the True Holy Rune.
Otherwise, 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 a rune crystal. You'll find many runes
throughout the game, but you can only buy runes at Item Shops. Some runes
cannot be removed, and some runes can only be attached to certain
characters.
- You can only save at Inns or Journeyman's Crystals, with an occasional
person who will allow you to do so.
- You MUST visit every Item Shop and Armory you come across; by taking a look
at their items, you will be able to have them in stock later in the game in
your castle. This is VERY important in the beginning at Gregminster.
- Many characters have Unite commands, meaning they can team up with other
members and do a combo in 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 powerful spell! The runes
that you can combine are as follows: 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 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, they're down for the battle. After the battle, just use a
Medicine to replenish their HP. However, when you come across a
Resurrection Rune later in the game, you 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 get all 108 Stars and the good ending.

o----------------------------o
You'll start off in the Emperor's Palace in

Gregminster. Talk to your father, Teo, and
you'll be taken to an audience with Emperor
Barbarossa. After the chat 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.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Yes, Your Highness.
|
| [2] I don't wanna.
|
o-------------------------------------------o
Choose either one, and he'll be happy to hear what you have to say. Commander
Kraze will be assigned to watch over you, then you'll be wished luck. You'll
automatically head back a little ways before you gain control. Head right, all
the way 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, move
right into this room and check the statue in the right corner; you'll find
[_100 BITS_] here. After you've grabbed that, head left and talk to Kraze,
then go back and talk to Teo to 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 skip 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, but leave the house right away. This rune also can be
purchased later in the game at an Item Shop.
- If you want the Prosperity Rune, used for increasing Bits, go upstairs and
talk to Ted, then leave the house right away. This rune can also be acquired
later in the game via an enemy drop, but it's more rare.
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
fewer 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.

| Walk south to Lenankamp, but be careful; if
| Red Soldier Ant
| you run into enemies other than the BonBon
| Wild Boar
| or maybe a Crow or two, run away, as you'll
o----------------------------o probably be decimated. In Lenankamp, go up
the eastern stairs and into the Armory. 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's shop to the north 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 level up and get more 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.
Place a 100 coin bet, then watch where the coin goes. Write down where it ends
up, then repeat about 15 times, keeping track of where it lands. Quit and talk
to Marco again; you have now written down the first 15 places that the coin
ends up every time you restart the game. The trick is that the coin always
follows the same pattern, no matter how much you bet, but only while Marco is
in Rockland. 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. This works wonders if you play it long enough to
get your pattern going to where you'll start rolling!
For these strategies, every game/disc has different patterns, so someone
else's strategy won't always work. So instead of following a pattern that
someone else tells you, follow the previously mentioned method by writing down
what your pattern is and using it from there.
(- NOTE -) 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 www.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 -) The Mosquitoes on the World Map have a chance of dropping a
Holy Crystal, in case you wanted to acquire one early. They can be bought
later.

Follow the path, then grab the [_CIRCLET_] to

your south. Go right to the next screen,
follow the path as it goes up stairs, then
grab the [_MEDICINE_] before going up to the
next area. Move left, down the stairs, then
open the chest to the west 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.
Head left to a fork; to the left is another
chest with a [_WIND RUNE PIECE_], so get
that, 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 as it goes left across the
bridge, then up to the next area. Move right
and up past the locked building to the next
area.
Head up yet another screen, then move 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, then head back and go up the western
stairs. Continue up, but grab the [_1000 BITS_] to your right. Now head north
back out to the World Map, then go north and enter Sarady.

Go into the northeasternmost house and talk

to the man 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!
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.

(- NOTE -) When fighting the Killer Slimes, you may have gotten some Water
Rune Pieces. If so, you should stop at the Blacksmith in Lenankamp and equip
them onto the Hero, as they help recover HP each turn; the more you put on,
the more he'll recover.

Head back to the McDohl residence and go to

the second floor, then to Hero's room on the
left with Ted. Ted will ask to join your
party to pay back the McDohl family for
adopting him when he was an orphan.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Of course.
|
| [2] Gee, I dunno.
|
o-------------------------------------------o
Choose 1, then listen to him asking you

questions about 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 you. 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 you 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. 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.
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
o-------------------------------o
| [1] Northeast of Gregminster. |
| [2] Northwest of Gregminster. |
| [3] Somewhere on this earth. |
o-------------------------------o
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... After climbing on Black's back, you'll fly off to Magician's
Island.

Move north to go into the forest, then follow

the straightforward path to the next area.
Once there, head northwest and grab the
[_MEDICINE_] out of the chest. Make your way
northeast and follow the path to the next
area. Keep following the path until you reach
a fork; take the eastern path north to find a
chest containing a [_LEATHER COAT_]. Go back
and take the western path north, following it
some more to run into a kid named Luc. He'll
summon a Golem to battle you.

| of those runes. Even if you didn't, it
|
| isn't too terribly hard.
|
o-------------------------------------------o
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
will 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 you. Luc will then
transport you back to the shore with Futch, where you'll fly back to
Gregminster after some bickering.

Head into the castle and report to Commander Kraze. 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. To be able to actually use the Fire Rune, you'll need to head
over to Marie's Inn and rest there to replenish your MP; you should be at
least at level 4, so Cleo should have 2 available level 1 MP to use. If you
don't rest, your MP won't be replenished, and you won't be able to use it.
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.

(- NOTE -) Here in Rockland, there's a person

named Marco. If you talk to Marco, you'll be
able to play game where you guess which cup
the coin is under. Place a 100 coin bet, then
watch where the coin goes. Write down where
it ends up, then repeat about 15 times,
keeping track of where it lands. Quit and talk to Marco again; you have now
written down the first 15 places that the coin ends up every time you restart
the game. The trick is that the coin always follows the same pattern, no
matter how much you bet, but only while Marco is in Rockland. 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. This
works wonders if you play it long enough to get your pattern going to where

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 is here to get rid of the bandits
for them. Should we go now?
Pick option 1, because Kanaan will say
that we're going now anyway if you pick
2. Unless you need something, leave
Rockland and head east to Mt. Seifu.

Follow the path until your party has a little

discussion, then keep going until you go into
a cavern. (Fighting the Bandits here, as well
as the Black Wild Boars, with the Prosperity
Rune equipped can get you some easy money!)
Once inside, follow the path to a fork, where
you'll head northeast and get the [_BOOTS_]
and [_MEDICINE_] out of the two chests. Head
west and north from there into the doorway,
and in this room, you'll find many paths to
take! First, move west and southwest into
another area with an [_ANTIQUE_] in a chest,
then go back and take the westernmost path
north, which leads to [_1000 BITS_]!
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 room to
the next room 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 where you'll find the Queen Ant.
It's impossible to win this battle, so have everyone DEFEND until you leave
the battle. At this point, Ted suggests that you let him take care of it.
Pick 1, and he'll head back into battle by
o-----------------------------o
himself. He'll use a strange rune, which
| [1] OK, Ted.
|
wipes out the Queen Ant in one blow. After
| [2] Don't be reckless, Ted. |
the battle, everyone is in awe of how he
o-----------------------------o
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_] to your north. Head south, west,
and south from here to be 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.

| Gremio and Pahn use the Talisman attack, and have Hero and 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.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
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.

the north. Grady will come and take the bandits to the dungeon, as well as a
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.

As soon as you enter, Kanaan will decide to

go report his 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 to find Ted lying on the floor. Everyone else will come in to help,
noticing that Ted's wounds were caused by magic.
Help him, and you'll take him into one of the beds.
After some discussion, Ted 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 wanted the rune on his right hand, but he
o-----------------o
| [1] Help.
|
| [2] Don't help. |
o-----------------o
used 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.
Choose option 1 to take off his glove to reveal one
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
o----------------------o
| [1] What is it, Ted? |
| [2] No.
|
o----------------------o
to protect it from Windy.
Choose to take it, and he will

| [2] No.
|
something happens at the door. Head
o-------------------------------------o
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.
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.
o----------------o
| [1] No.
|
| [2] All right. |
o----------------o
Out in the pouring rain, go behind the house and head 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. Go
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.
Pick either option, and the

are that 'fugitive' McDohl
o--------------------------------------------o
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.
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

| [1] I'm not sure I can trust you. |

o-----------------------------------o
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! Now that we're out, we have a previous arrangement to meet
someone, whom Viktor says is in Lenankamp.
Choose 1, then leave Gregminster. If
you want, you can level up or go to
Rockland and play Marco's game. When
you're finished, head to Lenankamp.

As soon as you enter, Viktor says that he

needs to make some arrangements, and he'll
take off. Before going to the Inn, I'm sure
that you have extra money, so you should
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.
Choose either option to have Cleo try to

behind the grandfather clock. Examine it to
o----------------------------o
move it out of the way, and a woman called
Odessa will then hurry everyone underground. 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?

a lot of their hideouts
o----------------------------------------------o
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.

Be the good guy and admit that it's

story, you'll be told by Viktor that o-------------------------------------o
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.

Head up to the mansion as usual, but this

time, talk to the guard blocking the door. He
won't let you through, so Viktor will go
distract him. Watch the events unfold as the
Grady mansion mysteriously bursts into
flames. Viktor will come back, and you'll
regain control. Head into the mansion, and
make your way left to be attacked by some
Empire Soldiers. Once you're done with 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. Head 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, take out 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 he didn't 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.

Head straight to the Inn and examine the

clock 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?

o-----------------------------o
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. Also, the Killer Slimes here drop Water Rune Pieces, which help

As you go through this area, a man named

Choose either one, because either way you'll
decide to stay here anyway. Inside, he'll
offer you some tea before dinner, tea that
your party finds pretty bitter!
Choose 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 and pick your pockets.
o-------------------------o

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.
Head up yet another screen, then move 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, then head back and go up the
western stairs. Continue up, but grab the [_1000 BITS_] to your right. Now
head north back out to the World Map, then go north and enter Sarady.

We're supposed to meet the messenger from the

first enter, and voila! The Inn. Talk to the

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 him, and 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.

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, saying that she chose to be a woman over being a
leader. She'll ask you to come closer, then will ask you to do two things;
1) She wants you to give her earring to a man called Mathiu in the village of
Seika (you'll receive the [_EARRINGS_].) 2) She wants you to throw her body
into the stream down here.
It's her dying wish, so do as she asks. She'll tell
Viktor to 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.
o------------------o

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.

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 100 bits, track where the coin lands, win,
then quit and repeat at the 10,000 bit level.
We're gonna go through Kwaba, so leave after all preparations are made, and

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...
Choose 2 to forgive him, since he was just

he wants to open his own store one day, so

Go up the stairs, into the house, and talk to

Gremio will show him the earring that Odessa
gave to them, telling him that it was her

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

so go inside and see what the deal is.
The soldiers will be giving him the order to return to the Imperial Army for

the battle, go inside 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.
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
would be unable to lead the Liberation Army, but you
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. o--------------------o

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. 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 to Kaku.

Once you're here in Kaku, make sure to SAVE

at the 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.
You don't have any other choice, so choose to do
o-----------------------o
so. Ask him for the rules of Dice (Chinchirorin is | [1] Yes.
|
what it's called in Suikoden II), then play away!
| [2] I don't think so. |
I actually enjoy playing this game, and it's going o-----------------------o
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. He 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 this madness as well. Go to the docks and talk
to Tai Ho, telling him that you're ready to go.

to go with you to fight the monsters inside,

so another one joins your party! Yam Koo also
automatically joins your party, but you
aren't told this; you'll find that you can
put him in your battle party once you capture
this castle.
(- 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 would
always 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 all the
way to the right side of this area, then look
to your lower left to find a chest containing
a [_MEGA MEDICINE_]. Go north into the cave,
where you'll 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_].
Head back to the fork and go south for the [_MEDICINE_] to your left, then
continue south to the next area.
Move 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_]. 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.

Follow the dotted line on the diagram to the left. There

is a hidden path in this area, so head south from where
you're standing until you can't see yourself anymore
(don't go too far down, or you'll pass it), then head
right through the black area, then down through that
black area and you should come into the little room from
from the right side; grab the [_HAZY CRYSTAL_] out of
the chest and head back to the beginning of the area by
o-----------------o
going east, north, west, and north.
Go right to a wall, where you can see another chest; walk through the wall at
the spot where the black part of it seems separated, which is just a step or
two down from the chest. Get the [_WIND CRYSTAL_] out of it, then go back out
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.

o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
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 completely. Refer to the beginning of the Walkthrough if you
are confused on what I'm talking about.

o--------o--------------------------o----------------------------------------o
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. 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 by taking the stairs to the north and exit through
the south, then take the boat out to the World Map and head east to Kaku.

Once you're there, head over to the Tavern.

Talk to Sergei in here; he happens to be an
inventor, and he invented a great device
called an elevator. We have a very tall
castle, and 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 all the way north at Kwaba.

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. Once you have Chandler, leave Kwaba and head over to Seika.

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 to
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, a
know-it-all. By recruiting her, you'll be able to talk to her in your castle,
and if you're lost, she'll tell you what you need to do.
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.

Talk to the man standing beside the flag;

this is Kai, and he is the BEST person to
have in your party when taking on groups of
enemies, thanks to his Unite Attack with
Hero. Anyway, Kai was Hero's stick-fighting
teacher, or his Sensei if you will, 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.

Go to the Blacksmith and talk to Maas; he

says that the world is twisted, and that the
people's minds are as well. He wants to join
the Liberation Army so he can help straighten
them out, so recruit him to get your first of
five Blacksmiths! Don't worry about him
though; he can only sharpen your weapons to
level 5 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.

Go to the mansion to your upper left and talk

to Giovanni; he'll tell you that Lepant is
too busy to see you, and when Viktor asks
when he'll be free, he says that it could be
anywhere from a day to a year, so we've got
to find another way to talk to him.
Go to the Inn next. Inside is Lorelai, but
she won't join your party until the Hero is
at level 25, so it won't be too much longer
until then. Anyway, talk to the man sitting
in the chair, Krin. He seems a little sneaky,
but he claims that he has a plan to get into
Lepant's mansion.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Tell me what you have in mind.
|
| [2] I can't trust you.
|
o-------------------------------------------o
Choose option 1, and he'll drag you over to
the Inn part of the building. He'll 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
need 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 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 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.

Move 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 are 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. Once you've passed it, 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; as it 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.
Choose 2 to tell him what's
o--------------------------------------------o
going on. He says that he'd
| [1] .........
|

| [2] Um, Mathiu recommended you.
|

give his sword back to him.
o--------------------------------------------o
Giovanni will come running
in, saying that Lepant's 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 the new commander is 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
room on the lower left and grab the [_WATER RUNE PIECE_] from
chest. Go back out and go into the room Lepant went in. He'll

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 right and through this door. Take the door on the left first and
get the [_ANTIQUE_] out of the chest, 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.

killing someone, so if you
want to, go ahead because even if you don't, you won't be seeing him again, so

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.
C'mon now, we're good guys. Choose 2 to

Head to the 1st floor first, and guess who's

here? It's our good buddies Varkas and
Sydonia! They figured they needed to pay you
back for saving them, so they're going to
join the Liberation Army as well! They would
also like to say hello 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!
Choose option 1, and let the feasting begin! At the
banquet, talk to all 10 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
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.
Pick either option, and Mathiu will tell you that we only o----------------o
have a few hundred men, not nearly enough to mobilize
| [1] Of course. |
their forces, but he will send a team to the Village of
| [2] But...
|
the elves to check it out, meaning you, Gremio, Kirkis,
o----------------o
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 are three more people we can
recruit. First stop is Kaku for two of them.

Head to the upper right of town and talk to

the little girl standing beside the Inn; this
is Meg, and she's 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. You may need to reset up ahead.
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 as well, but only if you win
5,000 Bits from him at Dice, which is why you needed to save before coming
here. After you've won the money, recruit Gaspar, then leave Kaku and head
north to Seika.

Go to the Inn and talk to the guy on the left

beside the table. He's Sheena, and he'll try
to start smooth-talking the girl here, but
that's when Lepant comes out and yells at
him. As it turns out, Sheena's his son, so he
will grab him and drag him to Headquarters.
That's it for new recruits, so 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 time to tour your castle again to see where everything is.
Go to the third floor to talk to Mathiu and put whomever you want in place of
Lepant, 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 active 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.

When you enter the Great Forest, a man will

tell you that he's been seeing elves running
around, then he'll spot Kirkis and run off to
tell everyone. Head north and east, then
enter 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 to 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 head down the stairs this time, then
go right to the next screen to find another
chest; this one has an [_ESCAPE TALISMAN_] in
it. Head back and head left across the log to
the next screen, where you'll find another
chest; this one has a [_NEEDLE_] inside. Go
down from there and open the semi-hidden
chest for another [_WATER RUNE PIECE_]. Move
right two screens, grab the [_FORTUNE RUNE PIECE_] to your north, then
continue right some more, following the path until you end up in a 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, but also that they're sick. We have to
figure this out too, but the Village of the Elves is first. Leave here.

Use the Journeyman's Crystal if you want to,

then head up into the 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 both 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.
Choose either one, because we

Dwarves now anyway. When you gain o----------------------------------------o
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.
Kirkis will ask Sylvina to join too, but she says that she will wait for now,
and will wait for him to come back. Back out on the World Map, head east and
north a little to the Dwarf Trail.

Head east and north to the next screen, then
go northwest behind the tree on your left to
a chest containing a [_FEATHER_]. Get back on
the trail and follow the path to the next
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, then head back down and move 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 head up to the next
area.
Grab the [_FORTUNE RUNE PIECE_] out of the chest to the north, 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.

Up the stairs to your west is the Inn, and

north of that is the 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 of
town. 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.
Choose 1, and he'll tell you that you have to

but Juppo already has one, so try to get one
for Meg if you like.
Talk to the dwarf so he'll move out of the
way, then go down four sets of stairs and
down the next room. You'll see three levers
here; hit the middle one first, then the left
one, then the right one. Go down the path on
the right 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 head 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
as well to land on a platform with a
[_THUNDER RUNE PIECE_]. Go back to the door,
then go right and down on this block, then
take the southern one here as well. Go down
into the next room and, guess what? Head 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, which will open the door in here. 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 as the eastern path leads to a dead end. You
will 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.

Head north into the next room and you'll be at a fork; the westernmost room

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

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

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

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

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

attacks; Charge, Bow, and Magic, as well as an
|

| Bow works well against Magic, but is weak against Charge. Magic works well |

|
|
|
| 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, even though if they charge, you'll take a bigger hit.
|
| Kwanda's Attack is a Charge attack, so use a Magic attack to counter it, |
| 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,

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; it's Hero, Gremio, Kirkis,
Kuromimi, Valeria, and Viktor.

and up into this door, you'll find a woman

inside who will let you rest. Go back outside
and go directly left from this room to
another room. Grab the [_STEEL SHIELD_]
inside, then go back outside and head up
through the main door. Follow the red carpet,
then go through the door on the left when you
see it; there's a [_HALF ARMOR_] in the chest
in here. Go back out to the red carpet, then
head east and into the room below the door on

Once you have those items, go back out and

Go into the room on the left to find another
chest; this one has a [_MEDICINE_]. Head 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 out of the lower left
door of the big room to go outside; grab the
[_THUNDER RUNE PIECE_] out here. Now you can
go back in and up to the third floor.
Don't move; make sure that everyone is at

full health, and make sure Viktor has some

get to the center of the room, you'll meet the next boss!

that Kwanda isn't the same as he was o-------------------------------------o
a moment ago. He says it's the Black
Rune that Lady Windy gave him; she can't be 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.
o--------------------------------o
| NO! [1] You're right.
|
|
[2] I want you to join us. |
o--------------------------------o
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.

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 his meal, he'll join you! Go into the house on the
lower end of town and talk to the Kobold named Gon; he'll want to join the
Liberation Army since big brother Kuromimi is in it, so recruit him as well!

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 and introduce himself as
Odessa's brother, and when Flik asks him where she is, he flat out tells her
that she's dead.

it happened, and he doesn't think that
o----------------------------------o
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.
Choose option 2, and he'll decide to move his troops in

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 by taking Milich's domain.
Choose option 1 and you'll be in your
second Major Battle. Flik also joins
your army for this battle. We can use
all the help we can get!

|

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.

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.
You'll eventually have to choose 2 to take him,
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.

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, okay? 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.

Go into the Inn here and talk to the elderly

woman on the right side, Hellion; she knows
all about you, and she would like to lend you
her powers. Recruit 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 tour your castle again to see where everything 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 fourth 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, but 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 Fairy on
the World Map hold the Nameless Urn, which we need to recruit Jabba. 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 to 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 that kept you from
beating Milich earlier. 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.

First off, go to the Armory, which is the

second building on the left. Talk to the
Armorer; he is Chapman, and he's tired of
working in this run down Armory. He'll ask to
join your party, so recruit him to give your
castle an Armory! Make sure to go back in and
look at the wares so you'll have them at your
castle. Leave here and go to the Rune Shop,
which is just up and right from the Armory;
talk to Jeane, and since you 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, having a high defense and giving the wearer a speed
boost.
If you have kept the Toe Shoes on Hero this whole time, I applaud you! If not,
you can buy them at the Armory here in Antei; I just wanted to save you money.
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. If not, fight the Holly Fairy on
the World Map outside of Rikon, then once you have it, go to Rikon.

and talk to Jabba; he'll be surprised that he
can't identify this, and with it, he'll join!
Your castle now has 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 below to have level 12 weapons, and have all
6 of them outfitted with the best armor, including Head Gear, Ninja Suits, a
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.

challenge you to fight.
o-------------------------------------------o

|

Choose 1 to fight them. Here's what you do;

have 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. You must beat them within 5 rounds
to be able to recruit them, but 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 I 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.

haven't, do that now.
There are two houses that are at 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 Army.

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.

You'll automatically drop it off at the 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.

Head up the stairs on the right and talk 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 the
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.

Mathiu's Letter. She can't read, 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 joins!
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! Head
back out to the World Map and use the Blinking Mirror to go back to HQ.

You'll run into four sets of Veteran Soldiers

examine the cells to the right of Liukan to

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

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
anything on Gremio, it has been put in your Vault, so check with Rock to get
it out.

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. (If Hero doesn't have it, talk to Sanchez to put that person who had
it in your party. If Pahn, Cleo, Camille, Viktor, or Flik had it, talk to
Mathiu first, but refuse to go to the next battle, THEN come back and take
them with you to Antei.)

Mathiu suggests breaking in so that you can

Head north through this door and walk up to

given a choice...
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Milich, too, is a victim...
|
| [2] What a creep.

o-------------------------------------------o
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_].
Kasios is in the room on the right side of
this floor, but won't join you yet either.
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.
Choose 2! If you don't, you will not

o-----------------------------------o

| NO! [1] Gremio must be avenged. |
you will never be able to revive
|
[2] This man is not at fault! |
Gremio! 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.
Choose 2 as usual, because there are consequences
as I've told you before. At this point, Stallion
will come running to tell you that the Imperial
Army is coming! You'll return to the castle.

Afterward, head up to the fourth floor and
talk 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.
Now is the time that we finally must face General Teo McDohl in battle. Gen
will report that Teo's Army has reached the far shore, so Mathiu recommends
engaging them in a brief skirmish to test their power.

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 while we escape.
Choose 2, and you'll head off while Pahn
stays behind to fight. Teo will come up
and try to get him to move out of the way;

|
| - 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...
|

|
| - That's...no good.

After the battle, Teo orders the retreat, and Pahn is glad to be alive.

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 how you
feel, but you must go on.
Pick either option, and she will tell about her

older sister, Windy. She also carries a True Rune

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.

and talk to Sanchez. Put Tai Ho in your party as well as four others you want.
Ideally for now, I'd take Tai Ho, Yam Koo, Kai, Kirkis, and Stallion, but
before I do, 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.

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 whomever 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, then head north of the Pirates' Fortress to
sail over the maelstrom that was once blocking our way. Head north and dock at

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

to 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. 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!
(- NOTE -) The Item Shop here has the Fortune Crystal, the same crystal you
may have chosen to get at the very beginning of the game if you traveled to
Sarady without Ted.
Now that those tasks are done, head north and leave Kirov.

o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Yes.

Choose either option (HA!), then when Tai Ho

asks if you know them, you can choose either
option there as well. Ronnie Bell will
notice that you're the leader of the Liberation Army, so she'll go tell 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 doing; 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.

will tell you 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

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, 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!

Once you're there, Kasumi will scout the area

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.

Once you're in the Warrior's Village, you'll

meet Hix and Tengaar, as well as Zorak, the
Village Chief; he will mention Neclord, a
name that Viktor recognizes very well. He
will demand to know more information about
Neclord while Hix backs away from Viktor the
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; bet
100 bits, see where the coin lands, then quit, bet 10,000 bits, and pick the
same cup 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 with you (you'll need them to recruit someone), then
switch Maas, Meese, and Mose out for a better party. (I chose Flik, Kirkis,
and Stallion.) Sharpen your weapons to 15 using Moose if you can afford it,
and after you've done that, teleport back to Warrior's Village.
Go into the Chief's house and talk to him 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 you'll
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 Neclord 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. Viktor will then go up and challenge him.
(- NOTE -) You can't win this battle, so don't bother using any magic or
items; just attack or defend until everyone in your party 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.

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 against groups
of enemies in here.
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. Head 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. Move 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.

into a room or east to the next screen, go north into the room and grab the

Go back out and head east, then follow the path the rest 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.
Pick either one, then Ted will be called by his
grandpa. Cleo will notice that his grandpa called him
Ted and will wonder if it's the same Ted that they
know.

the upper right and talk to the Village

some woman, but after Viktor insists
that you weren't he'll tell you that
you should leave. Go into the house here

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.
Choose either option, because in any case,

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 12 or higher,
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. However, 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 to 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. It's time to do some more

Resurrection Rune. This is the only rune in the game that can be used to
revive fallen characters in battle.

On the left side of Garan is someone named

With Kirkis still in your party, teleport over to the Burnt Village of the

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.

Ignore what's going on just above you, and

head over to the Item Shop. Go into the upper
right 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, and will join your
party if you give it to him! You can talk to him at HQ to change your window
settings depending on which Window Settings you have obtained.
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.

Go to the front of the castle and you'll see

the villagers getting ready to go into the
castle, then Neclord will come out; he tells
you that you are the guest of honor, and if
you don't make it to the top before sunset,
Tengaar will 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.
o-------------------------------------------o

|

o-------------------------------------------o
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

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. Don't bother wasting your money
since I'm free! If you want to save your
game, go through the door to the left of the
main stairs and go downstairs to the
Journeyman's Crystal. When you're ready, 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
paintings; 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; doing so will open a door out
to the balcony. Go out there and head right and down back inside.
Go into the room below you for some [_EARTH BOOTS_]. Go into the westernmost
room and get the [_GREEN PAINT_], then go through the center 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
down 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!

|
| FIRST OFF, BEFORE WASTING ANY OF YOUR SPELLS, have Viktor attack with the |
| Star Dragon Sword while everyone else 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 MP,
|
| just have them attack/heal. Have Hix use the Clone rune, 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.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
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 Star Dragon Sword and 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, so 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 brought to safety. 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.
Choose 2 to let him leave. Tengaar says
that she would like to join the
Liberation Army with Hix, so when Viktor
leaves, Tengaar joins your party, taking
his spot in your battle party. Now, leave
here and, unless you need something around
o--------------------------------o
| [1] That could be a problem. |
| [2] All right. Come back soon. |
o--------------------------------o
here, head back to Headquarters.
o----------------o
| -Headquarters- |
o-----------------------------------------------------------o----------------o
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.
Choose option 2, and Flik and

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, and I also put that
Rage Crystal on Cleo. Before we go talk to the Dragon Knights, we have a few
more people we can recruit. First, head to Rikon.

have seen it already, so just keep on exiting and entering until he shows up.
Once he's here, talk to him; this is Clive. Just talk to him and will join

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. Leon joins! Leave

Head south from the entrance of the big room and

then follow the diagram to your left to get to

I shouldn't really have to give you

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 who resembles 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 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 good 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 even more. It's very helpful for the
slow guys like Pesmerga and Humphrey! I also put Killer Runes on Pesmerga and
Humphrey, and a Water Rune on Liukan so he can heal. If you need to prepare
for anything else, go ahead, then warp to or travel west-northwest of Antei to
the Dragon's Den.

When you get to the Dragon's Den, talk to the

permitted to enter, not even the Emperor
himself. Flik suggests heading over to Antei
so we can gather some information, so do so.
Once you're there, talk to the man named

that he tried to eat and run, and he got
caught. You'll then be introduced to him.
o-------------------------------------------o

o-------------------------------------------o
Choose either option, then he'll leave to go

talk to Joshua of the Dragon's Den, leaving
you with the bill of 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 Knights' 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.
The Sunshine Kings can also drop Cyclone Crystals, and the Magic Shields can
drop Earth Shields. Earth Shields can also be purchased later on.
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 head 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 the
west, then south to be at the World Map.

First off, go to the top right of the screen

and you should see someone hiding; talk to
him to find out that he is a Ninja called
Fuma. Recruit him as well, then head 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.
Haha, choose either option, and

Joshua admits that he doesn't know
what's wrong with the dragons; they
fell asleep a few months ago and have
not woken up since. They've brought
in many doctors and none have been able
o------------------------------------o
| [1] We need your help.
|
| [2] Please let me fly on a dragon. |
o------------------------------------o
to cure them. They went looking for
Liukan once, but they couldn't find him. Liukan introduce himself to Joshua
and he will ask him to look at the dragons. (If you didn't bring him with you,
you need to go back to HQ and bring him back.)
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 in place of Liukan
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
Dragon Knights' 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.

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.

Head inside the Fortress and go up to

Joshua's room and talk to him. After giving
him the Moonlight Weed, Joshua will tell you
that Futch went to Gregminster Palace to get
the Black Dragon Orchid, and he went all by
himself...
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 confirm this, and 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.
Why not? Unless you have a need to go
elsewhere, go ahead and choose 1, then
ride on Thrash out front to be back at
Headquarters.

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 a man hanging around the castle. His name
is Taggart, and he was ordered not to talk to anyone 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?
Choose 2, and Mathiu will begin to make the
o-------------------o
preparations. Now, before going to bed as Mathiu
| [1] I don't know. |
suggested, we can recruit the Master Blacksmith, Mace. | [2] I agree.
|
Before doing anything, make sure you don't have
o-------------------o
anything important on Humphrey or Lepant; they'll be
unavailable for a little bit for the next mission. When you're ready, 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.

talk to Mace, and since all of his disciples
are with you, he decides to join the

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.
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
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, and since he only received info that
they were just training today, they're not ready to go! Another Major Battle
commences!

|
|
From now on, these battles are almost IMPOSSIBLE to |
| lose! Just use these commands for the rest of the Major Battles in the
|
| game to win with flying colors:
|
|
|
| Turn 1: Use the Dragons Knights under Others, and hope they don't use a
|
|
Bow attack. Even if they do, you don't lose any troops.
|
| Turn 2: Use Kage to spy, then counter (use Strategists if necessary).
|
| Turn 3: Use Kasumi to spy, then counter.
|
| Turn 4: Use Fuma to spy, then counter.
|
| Turn 5: Use the Merchants command to try to get the some of them to join. |
| Turn 6: Use Krin to spy, then counter.
|
| Turn 7: Use Ledon to spy, then counter.
|
| Turn 8: Use Giovanni to spy, then counter.

|
|
|
| Griffith's Charge is a normal Charge attack, so counter with Magic. Most |
| of the time, you will never even have to worry about getting past turn 4, |
| since you'll have beaten them already.

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.

(- NOTE -) The Elite Soldiers here can drop

the Rage Rune.
You'll see a battalion of troops leave to
defend Rakan, giving us a chance to sneak in.
Head up to the castle and Griffith will do
his part in pretending that they've caught
Mathiu, so they'll let you inside. Mathiu and
Griffith will head off to the waiting room,
so you have to free Viktor and Warren. Grab
the [_PINK PAINT_] to the east, then talk to
the soldier in the upper right corner; you
can rest and save here, so do both of those,
then head down and west to the next screen.
Go west and grab the [_TAIKIOKU WEAR_], then
move north three screens, then go left and
down two more. Head 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. (You must enter it from the north!)

Maximilian of the late lamented Maximilian

lend a hand to the Liberation Army. Accept his proposal to have both Max and

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.

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.

Back
to the first floor and save at the Inn, then go out to your boat. You
see that Mathiu has met his quota of 500 boats, and they're all made of
Mathiu had Thrash use its breath to freeze and create all of the boats.

Go over toward Mathiu, and he will command

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,

will ask you why you betrayed your father and the Empire.

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.

Head down to B1 where Viki is hanging around.

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, and she will wonder if you're going to execute her.
Choose option 2, and she'll say that
she still hates you, but wonders if
you want her to join anyway. Choose

will join you, not to help you fight
but to watch you die. Sonya joins! Now,

gather all of the forces to march on Gregminster.

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 finally Kuromimi, then you'll be back in
the War Room.

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, and level them up as well. You will
also want to level up all of the characters who will be returning to
Suikoden II, and will fight then, not just open up a shop or something.
These people are...
o-------------------------o----------o----------o------------o-----------o
| YOU, the Hero (McDohl) | Viktor | Tai Ho | Valeria | Lorelai |
o------------o------------o----------o----------o------------o-----------o
| Stallion | Humphrey | Sheena | Hix
| Meg
| Luc
|
o------------o------------o----------o----------o------------o-----------o
| Clive
| Flik
| Futch | Kasumi | Pesmerga | Tengaar |
o------------o------------o----------o----------o------------------------o
I recommend getting them all to level 52 or higher, which is quite easy at
Moravia Castle. You will also want to get all of their weapons to level 16;
again, fight at Moravia Castle for money, as it's a sure thing compared to
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
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 you really want
to, but only Level and
Weapon Level really
matter. It won't carry
over at these levels,
but they will give them
a boost in Suikoden II
so they're higher than
they would be. The
character who has the
highest level when you complete the game will also get a 5 level boost in
Suikoden II. Don't bother sharpening any magic user's weapon if they're an
S because they're too weak to fight in the front row anyway, unless you
really want to. 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.

Save your game at the Inn and when you're
ready, talk to Mathiu and choose option 2 to
begin your march on Gregminster. Almost to the
final battle!
o--------------------------o
| [1] Wait a minute.
|
| [2] All right. Let's go! |
o--------------------------o
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.
Choose either option, and Joshua will come in and
help her get rid of them with his Dragon Rune.
o-----------------------o
| [1] The Soul Eater... |
With all of the monsters gone, you will begin the

Last Battle against the Empire!
| [2] Then what...

o--------o----------------------------------o--------------------------------o

|
| Bow beats Magic
| We don't have the advantage in numbers here, but
|
| Magic beats Charge | we're the Liberation Army! We don't need the
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yuber's Charge is a normal Charge attack, so counter with Magic.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
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...
o--------o
o------------------------------------------------------o

| -Gregminster-, the end of the Scarlet Moon Empire... |
o--------o------------o------------------------------------------------------o
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.

All right. Here's the party I will be using in Gregminster. Truthfully, it
would make more sense to take Gremio, Cleo, and Pahn, but this setup is much
more useful. (Strategy wise, and for Suikoden II.)

If you have the spare

Crimson Capes are better than the Earth Boots
in case you wanted better accessories, but
the Earth Boots can only be equipped by men.
Head north toward the palace and you will run
into Ain Gide. He's the one who let us
through at Kwaba, so Viktor says that he owes
him one, and would hate to have to hurt him.
Nonetheless, Ain Gide is an Imperial General,
and he will fight you to protect the Emperor.

|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
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, which is the best in that game as well. 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!!!

o----------------------o After you save, go back to the fork and head east,
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!
o--------------------------------o
o----------------o
| Golden Hydra
|
| * FINAL BOSS * |
o--------------------------------o--------------------------o----------------o
|
|
| The Golden Hydra has three different heads to attack. Between Luc and
|
| Tengaar, you should have about 10 level 4 spells, so have them both cast |
| Storm each round, but if your party has taken damage, have one of them
|
| cast Shining Wind, alternating between who casts Shining Wind each time, |
| and your party should stay well healed throughout the battle. Note that
|
| the first head (his left, our right) will not take any damage from the
|
| Fire/Rage Runes, the second head (his middle) will not take any damage
|
| from the Lightning/Thunder Runes, and the third head (his right, our left) |
| will not take any damage from the Wind/Cyclone Runes. Concentrate all of |
| your attacks on the third head; use Judgment and Thunder God on it, and
|
| when you run out of those, use Black Shadow and Ball of Lightning while
|
| having Kai and Viktor attack the third head as well. Once the third head |
| is gone, concentrate all attacks on the first 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 alternating with Shining Wind on their Cyclone Runes, you |
| should be pretty safe. Just hope that you get rid of the third head before |
| it starts to heal itself and/or resurrect the other heads as well.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
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 and
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.
Choose option 2 to let him fight,
because he's going to stay anyway. Keep
going toward the exit and you'll run
into another group. Flik can't let you
die, since Odessa chose you to rebuild
the country, so he'll stay behind to
fight as well. Choose option 2 to go
on without him, and you'll exit the
Palace while Viktor meets up with Flik to
Soldiers together!
o----------------------------------o
| [1] Don't be ridiculous, Viktor. |
| [2] Hurry.
|
o----------------------------------o
| [1] I can't leave you here.
|
| [2] Stay alive, Flik.
|
o----------------------------------o
fight the rest of the Imperial
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...
