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!

|
o----------------------------o-----------------------------------------------o
| [ ] Mikumiku

| (For another method of
| it looks like the bottom of a large bird's

o----------------------------o-----------------------------------------------o
Here is CelesDestiny's method of capturing the Flying Squirrels, which may
save you some time and pain! Thanks!
"There has been a lot of debates about them and I tested many hours how to
recruit them fast. You don't have to battle at all. While a free slot is
required, the squirrel joins outside of battles. I'm 100% sure of this.
Actually, the game checks a regular intervals (I believe it is every X minutes
- this is what I am not sure of) every party slot. You'll increase your chance
even more by traveling alone. Plus, you can stand still for that in the
required area. The squirrel joins as soon as you make one more step
afterwards. I tested this once on the PSOne, stand for over 30 minutes at the
same spot (last squirrel), checked the menu ... nothing, made one step, heard
a short loading sound, therefore checked the menu again and ... it was there.
Many people do a lot of battles, which can be very time consuming especially
for the last squirrel. But it is so easy: Wait in the required area, leave
your game alone for some time, make one step and check your party :) If you
want to travel anyway (perhaps the game checks more often then ..?), be sure
to bring Champion's Rune and True Holy Rune along to speed things up a lot!"
It may take a bit of time to do this, so be patient.
o----------------------------o-----------------------------------------------o
| [ ] McDohl
(M)
| You can only recruit McDohl if you loaded
|
|
| Suikoden data at the beginning of the game. |
|
| If you did, you'll have to visit Banner
|
|
| Village after defeating Luca Blight and
|
|
| undertake the McDohl side quest to recruit. |
|
| Once it's complete, you'll have to make a
|

|
| trip to Gregminster each time and talk to him |
|
| in his home to have him temporarily join; if |
|
| you remove him from the party, or if a story |
|
| event kicks him out, you'll have to go back |
|
| once again to temporarily recruit.
|
o----------------------------o-----------------------------------------------o
(- NOTE -) To recruit the two below, you have to use your second Listening
Crystal, and by doing so, you'll forfeit the chance of getting all 108 Stars
of Destiny.
o----------------------------o-----------------------------------------------o
| [ ] Rulodia
(M)
| After recruiting Abizboah, return to the
|
|
| watery area where you recruited him in the
|
|
| Tinto Mine to find his mate, Rulodia in the |
|
| same spot. If you have a Listening Crystal
|
|
| left, you can recruit her, but by doing so, |
|
| you can't obtain all 108 Stars of Destiny, so |
|
| it is unlikely that you'll want to recruit
|
|
| either of them.
|
o----------------------------o-----------------------------------------------o
| [ ] Chuchara
(M)
| After recruiting Abizboah and Rulodia, check |
|
| the docks at your castle to find Chuchara.
|
|
| You will have forfeited recruiting a 108
|
|
| Stars of Destiny by recruiting Rulodia above, |
|
| so it is unlikely that you'll want to recruit |
|
| either of them.

Walkthrough |
o--------o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
After starting a new game, you'll have to choose a name for the Hero of the
game, so pick whatever name you want. For this guide, I will refer to him as
Hero or "you".
(- NOTE -) If you choose "Determine" without entering a name, the game will
automatically come up with a name for you. Try it out; there are quite a few!
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
|***
Things that you should know about Suikoden II
***|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
- There are over 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.
- 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 on either a character's Right Hand,
Left Hand, or Head, whichever may be available. You'll find many runes
throughout the game, but you can only buy runes at Item or Rune 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.
- 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 Jizo 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.
- A returning character from Suikoden, Clive, has a story that is very hard to
view; after recruiting him, there are several events that you must reach by
a certain time, with the first being at or before _11:00:59_. I will detail
each event in the guide as you reach it through the story. Look for
* CLIVE'S STORY * to see these events.

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

Pass. You'll see your friend, Jowy, come in


to your tent to find that you've already
changed out of your uniform. We get to
finally go home tomorrow since Highland and
the City-State have signed a treaty, so Jowy
will ask you if you want to go to sleep now
or if you want to get some fresh air.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Let's go outside....
|
| [2] I'm going to sleep.
|
o-------------------------------------------o

It's completely up to you; if


you go outside, you can go
around the camp and talk to your fellow Youth Brigade members. There's no
significance to it though, as you'll have to come back here and choose option
2 to go to sleep to progress the story.

(- NOTE -) When you do regain control, remove the Boots from Hero and put them
on Jowy. You'll be able to get an extra pair of them soon by doing this.
In the middle of the night, you'll wake up to a surprise attack! Head outside
to have Captain Rowd tell you that the City-State broke the peace agreement
and have them surrounded, and that you should take the mountain path to the
east to save yourselves. You can head east or go north and west; the end
result is essentially the same.
1) If you go east... Keep following the path until Jowy stops you.
Choose either option, and Jowy will tell you
o-----------------------o
that he thinks the enemy knows that this path
| [1] What is it, Jowy? |
is the only escape, so he wants to go back and
| [2] Let's run away. |
report this to Captain Rowd. Head back to the
o-----------------------o
campsite and you'll run into Rowd, and he's
reporting to Prince Luca of Highland that their ambush worked perfectly!!!
By doing this, it looks like the State broke the treaty, and now he can
prove Highland's power by taking the State down! You'll then have a choice.
If
to
2,
of

you choose 1, you can escape


the north, but if you choose
you will have to battle a set
soldiers before escaping.

o--------------------------------------o
| [1] Let's get out of here, Jowy.
|
| [2] Let's talk to the Captain, Jowy. |
o--------------------------------------o

Once you reach the end of the path to the north, the captain will approach
you one last time and order a set of soldiers to kill you.
2) If you go north... Follow the path north and try to climb the rocks to the
north to have Captain Rowd and Prince Luca of Highland approach you! Luca
says that Rowd was supposed to 'leave no one alive'.
Choose either option, it does
not matter which one, as the
Captain will order a set of
soldiers to kill you.

o-----------------------------------------o
| [1] What's going on here, Captain Rowd? |
| [2] Who are you!!!
|
o-----------------------------------------o

During battles, you should have Hero and Jowy use their Unite Attack to damage
all of the enemies, then when they're down to one, have them attack one by
one, and if you run into trouble, use Medicines to stay healed. After Rowd
runs off to get more choice, Jowy will tell you that they'll have to jump.
If you choose option 1

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

3 times, you will be


| [1] Look at that current! We'll never make it! |
asked a fourth time, but
| [2] I guess there's no other way.
|
with the options flipped. o------------------------------------------------o
If you choose option 2
| [1] I guess there's no other way.
|
to refuse once again,
| [2] Look at that current! We'll never make it! |
Rowd will come back with
o------------------------------------------------o
another set of soldiers
for you to fight. I recommend doing this a few times until you have gone up to
at least level 4, preferably level 5 or 6; don't worry, it should only take a
few battles to do so.
(- NOTE -) If you fight 108 of these battles consecutively, the next cut scene
you'll see will be in color rather than black and white. If you want to do
this, you better go to 115 or 120 just to be sure you didn't miscount
somewhere and wind up with only 107 or less.
After you finally accept that there's no other way to escape, Jowy will make
a mark on a nearby rock, recommending that we both return to this spot if we
are to ever get separated.
Choose option 1 to leave
with his, or option 2 to
him leave another of his
as a prayer that they'll
together. They will both
approach the cliff, then

your
have
marks
make it

o-----------------------------------------o
| [1] I promise.
|
| [2] Forget it...we'll make it together. |
o-----------------------------------------o

leap off together, hopefully to safety...

After seeing the cut scene of you and Jowy's past, a familiar face from
Suikoden I will discover you lying beside the river. He will ask your name.
Either option can be
chosen for any of the
first two questions. On
third question, you can
choose either, but the
second option will lead
you to a fourth question.
Even that question can be
answered either way
without change.

|
| [2] No, I'm not.
|
o------------------------------------------------o
| [1] ...................
|
| [2] ......I'm a Highlander.
|
o------------------------------------------------o

After all of the


questioning, the man will
finally introduce himself
as Viktor, leader of the Mercenary Army. Another familiar face, Flik, will
bust Viktor's chops for picking on you, but more importantly will tell Viktor
that they lost sight of Jowy in the river, and hopes that he made it. Viktor
decides to make you their prisoner for now, so you'll head off to his fort.

room against the wall, so push against the


top ones until they're against the north
wall, and against the eastern one until it's
against that wall. After that, pick up the
[_ROPE_] near the doorway, then go back out.
After Pohl's inspection, he'll praise you.
o------------------------------------------o
| [1] Of course!
|
| [2] I'm pretty tired.
|
o------------------------------------------o
After choosing either option, you'll get a
break and a meal. The next morning, Pohl has
an errand for you to run; he wants you to get
2 pairs of Boots, 3 flints, and 2 bags of
flour. First, talk to Barbara on the lower
left side of the floor for Boots.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] 1 pair....I guess.
|
| [2] 2 pairs.
|
| [3] Um...3 pairs.
|
o-------------------------------------------o

If you put the Boots on Jowy


like I recommended, you'll be
able to get some extras here,
so go ahead and get 3 pairs to
start with. Equip two of those pairs on Hero, then talk to her again, and
choose 3 once again, giving you 6 pairs total, four pairs of [_BOOTS_] for you
and two for Pohl! If you didn't put the Boots on Jowy, choose 2, then equip
one pair on Hero so he has 2 pairs equipped, with one in inventory, then talk
to Barbara again and choose 3 to have four left over! Next, talk to the
Blacksmith on the top part of this floor for the Flint.
Choose 2 first to obtain 2 [_FLINT_] stones, then
o----------------------o
ask him against and choose 3 to obtain 3 [_FLINT_]
| [1] Umm....1 please. |
stones, totaling 5, only two of which will be taken | [2] Umm....2 please. |
by Pohl, giving you an extra. Finally, we need some | [3] 3 please.
|
Flour, so go up to the first floor and talk to the
o----------------------o
guy at the Item Shop on the right side to be told
that they're out of flour, and that we'll have to go to Ryube to get some. Go
talk to Pohl and he'll tell you to talk to Leona while he opens the door.
Go back up to the first floor and talk to the lady in red, Leona, and she'll
call for Gengen, a Kobold, who's going to baby-sit you while you go to Ryube.
Just as you go to leave, a boy named Tuta will see that you're going to Ryube,
and will want to go with you. Since he's finished with his chores, Leona will
let him, and Gengen and Tuta will temporarily join your party!
There's not much else to do here, so go ahead and
door. He'll tell you that Ryube is to the
northeast, so head south to the exit, where
Gengen will ask you to call him 'Captain
Gengen'! Choose either option, and you'll head
out to the World Map.

You'll be coming back to Ryube in a little

Inn is to the north, and the Armory, Item
Shop, and Blacksmith are to the south; don't
worry about getting Armor just yet, as
Gengen and Tuta can only have their
Accessories changed at the moment.

Go to the Item Shop and talk to the


shopkeeper to obtain the [_FLOUR_]. That's it
for Ryube for now, so leave the village and make your way back to the fort.

Talk to Pohl at Leona's place to give him the


Flour, then Gengen and Tuta will take off for
the time being. After another good meal, it's
time to clean up a bunch of oil that's been
spilled around the fort. Pohl will give you a
[_RAG_] to wipe it up, so start with the
spill right beside you. Next, wipe up the
spot in front of Barbara's Storehouse, then go up to the first floor and get
the spot by the eastern stairway. Head up to the second floor now and clean
the spill by the western stairs, and finally go into the central room where
Flik is to find the final spill. Once you've cleaned them up, your rag becomes
the [_OILY RAG_], and it'll be time to head back to the basement and report to
Pohl. He's impressed, and says that you've got talent!
Choose either option again, and you'll get to have
yet another meal. During this night, however, you
will hear soldiers saying that someone snuck in,
and you'll hear Jowy calling out to you.

o-----------------------o
| [1] Of course!
|
| [2] It's my talent... |
o-----------------------o

Either choose option 1 once, or option 2 three


times to have Jowy come down to save you. After
he's freed you, head upstairs, only to find
Viktor and Flik waiting for you.

o--------------------------o
| [1] I'm here Jowy!!!
|

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

If you choose 2, you'll quietly surrender but if


you choose 1, Flik will knock you flat on your

up in the cell with Jowy. Jowy will tell you
o-------------------------o
that he woke up in Toto Village where a small
girl and her family helped him get healed, and once he heard that a prisoner
was being held here, he came to save you. After another meal, Jowy wants to
see exactly what you're holding.
He says they're going to try to

it so soon. He'll use the spoon he

|
took from dinner to unlock the door, o-------------------------------------o
then you can head up to the first
floor, where Jowy decides to light the Oily Rag with your Flint as a
distraction to the soldiers! Head upstairs while they take care of that, then
head down and out to the balcony. He'll fix your Rope to it, then you'll climb
down to freedom! As you leave, Jowy wonders if it'll still be safe to go to
Kyaro with all that happened with Rowd and Luca.
If you choose 2, you'll be chased out
of the fort anyway, so just choose 1
to head out to the World Map, then go
northeast to Ryube Village.

Go to the central part of the village, and


you'll see three street performers. One girl,
Eilie, will spot you and choose you to be
part of their act! She'll tie you to the tree
and her brother, Bolgan, will introduce their
main event, the knife-throwing act! Her
sister, Rina, asks you not to move, as she
hasn't been doing well lately. Yikes!
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Don't move.
|
| [2] Move a hair to the right.
|
| [3] Move a hair to the left.
|
o-------------------------------------------o

The choices (and responses)


are the same for all four
objects that Eilie will try
to hit. Choose 1 to NOT MOVE. After the crowd has enjoyed the show, the troupe
will formally introduce themselves to you. Jowy tells them that they're on
their way to Kyaro, and oddly enough the troupe is as well! The only problem
with going there is the Mist Monster at the North Sparrow Pass, so going
together would be much safer. What do you think?
Choose option 1 or 2, because you won't
be able to advance the story until you
let them come with you. If you do choose
3, you'll have to talk to them again and
choose option 1 to have them join your
party. Once they have joined, change
your formation so Bolgan is in the front

row, as he won't be able to attack in


the back as he is an S character.

| [2] Nope.
|
o---------------------------------o

You can't change any of the three's armor, but you can still give them items
and accessories, so head over to the Armory and get Jowy and yourself
prepared, then make sure to get everyone a set of Medicine equipped, and if
you can, attach any and all Scrolls you may have (Angry Blow, Flaming Arrows)
to your team. Bolgan has a Fire Breath Rune equipped, and by using that, he
will be unbalanced the next turn, so letting him be one of your primary item
users would probably be a good idea. Once you have everyone equipped to your
liking, feel free to rest at the Inn or sharpen your weapon at the Blacksmith,
then leave Ryube and head north to the North Sparrow Pass.

if you like, but we'll be passing back
through here in a bit, and we'll have much
stronger party members, so it will be easier
if you can wait.
Soldiers will be blocking your way here at
North Sparrow Pass, saying that the Mayor of
Muse has banned passage. Jowy, Eilie, and
Bolgan will unsuccessfully try to persuade
them to let them pass, then Rina decides to
drag one of the soldiers off to a hidden
area, where she PERSUADES (!) the soldier to
let them pass, given that they keep their
mouths shut!
Head north and follow the path to the next
area, and when you reach the first fork, head
west to find a chest containing a
[_FIRE WALL_] scroll. Make sure to put this
on someone for the upcoming battle. You will
also see a pool of water beside the chest;
examine it to recover all of your HP & MP! I
recommend fighting around this pool until you
can get everyone to at least level 6,
possibly 7, then recover once again and head
back to the fork. Continue northeast and up
to the next area.

Move up a bit to be at a fork; open the chest to your east for an


[_ESCAPE TALISMAN_], then continue north, west, and north to the next area.
The next fork has two paths going north; the eastern one leads to a dead-end
with a [_BRASS ARMOR_], so grab that, then take the other path north and
follow it a while to the next area.
Just to your east is a Journeyman's Crystal; make sure to save! Also make sure
that everyone is healed to the max, then take a few steps north to take on the
Mist Monster that everyone's warned you of!

After you regain control, head north to the next area, then continue to a
fork. Head east to the next area first, where you can open the chest here for
a [_FEATHERED HAT_], then head back and take the northwestern path, following
it to the next area and all the way to the exit. Since we're almost to Kyaro,
that is where we'll part ways with Eilie, Rina, and Bolgan.

When you enter the actual town, the troupe

will decide to head straight home, leaving
you to go visit your sister, Nanami.
There's an Inn to your north and an Item
Shop on the northern part of town; stop there
if you need to see their supplies. Also check
their Rare Finds, as there could be some
Winged Boots waiting (if you have the money).
When you're ready, head to the western end of

large tree overlooking the cliff. Examine it


a total of three times to have a squirrel
with a red cape follow you! He is Mukumuku,
and he will join your party since you found
him! (If you don't get him now, you CAN get
him later, but it takes more work.)
Head inside your house and enter the room on
your left. Walk around the table and examine
the desk to the right to find a '? book',
which is [_OLD BOOK VOL. 1_] once it is
appraised. Head through the doors to the
north and out the back door to find Nanami
praying at your Grandpa Genkaku's grave.

Either option leads to Nanami loving on/tackling you,


o----------------o
then she'll start asking you a million questions, which
| [1] I'm back. |
then makes her remember that everyone thinks that you and | [2] Here I am. |
Jowy are State spies that led to the deaths of everyone
o----------------o
in the Unicorn Brigade! She decides that we need to run
away, and after a run-in with the wall and a quick prayer to Genkaku, Nanami
will join your party! Head back into the house, then examine the set of 3
vases on a set of boxes in the center of the room; Nanami thinks we should
take one with us for good luck. Which one?
You can only take one with you; they are o---------------------------------o
all unidentified ? vases, but they are
| [1] Let's take the big vase.
|
all different. The big vase is a
| [2] Let's take the medium vase. |
[_LARGE VASE_], which sells for 1,500
| [3] Let's take the small vase. |
potch; the medium vase is the
o---------------------------------o
[_FAMOUS VASE_] which sells for 3,000
potch; the small vase is [_NANAMI'S VASE_], which only sells for 5 potch, so
money-wise, you should choose the medium vase, Genkaku's Famous Vase. Now,
head outside and you'll run into some Highland Soldiers; they've come to
arrest you as a spy of the City-State! Take them down (these soldiers can drop
a Hazy Rune; if you're looking for one and don't get one here, another enemy
can drop it in a little bit. After the battle, Captain Rowd will ask you to
come quietly.
If you choose option 2, you can fight Captain
o-------------------------o
Rowd. Technically, I'd consider it a boss battle | [1] Captain....why..... |
(the boss music plays), but it's nearly
| [2] No!!!!!
|
impossible to win unless you've leveled up quite o-------------------------o
a bit. Each attack on Rowd himself only does 1
or 2 damage right now, but if you want to try to beat him, heal with Hero
every other round, as he'll probably take out both Mukumuku and Nanami with
one blow each.
Regardless of which option you chose, Rowd will take you off to prison. At
Jowy's house, Jowy will be taken as well, with his family disowning him for
being a traitor. Everyone will reunite in a cell where Rowd will come in and
explain Luca's plans, and for those plans to work, we need to be executed as
traitors. As you're taken to the scaffold, the Prince's sister, Jillia Blight,
passes you by, sees that you're only children and gives you a chance to speak.
Choose either option, and when Jowy hears the
driver call her 'Princess', he tells her to
remember that they didn't betray Highland, but
that Highland betrayed them.

o--------------------------o
| [1] I'm innocent!
|
| [2] .................... |
o--------------------------o

You'll then be taken to the scaffold and beaten until Rowd asks you if you
have any last words.
Choose either option, then Rowd will look off into
o--------------------o
the distance, reminiscing on how good his life will

be, but when he returns back into reality, Viktor and | [2] You're a jerk. |
Flik have arrived and taken out all of the soldiers!
o--------------------o
You'll be freed and Rowd will run off; Pohl begged
Viktor them to come rescue you, and since you're still their prisoners, they
figured they should. Jowy will then ask you and Flik if we can rescue Nanami.
You should choose option 1. If you choose 2 o------------------------------o
three times, you'll automatically leave

fort, you won't see Nanami (or Mukumuku)
o------------------------------o
again until the events before the White
Deer Inn and Sindar Ruins. By choosing to save her, you'll see her fight off a
bunch of soldiers on her own before running into you, then everyone will leave
Kyaro together. Head back to the entrance, but just before leaving Kyaro for
good, Nanami wonders if we'll ever return.
Choose whichever you like, then you'll be
back on the World Map. Whenever you're
ready, head down and to the North Sparrow
Pass.

o--------------------------------o
| [1] We'll be back some day.
|

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

(- NOTE -) This will be your last chance for a while to fight the CutRabbits
here at North Sparrow Pass, so if you want some more Double-Beat Runes, fight
them now. I moved on after obtaining six of them total. Note that once you
leave North Sparrow Pass to the south, you won't be able to re-enter.

When you enter the fort, Flik and Viktor will

Viktor suggests looking for more recruits to
join them, so let's get started! To begin
with, Gengen is now officially available as
a party member, so go inside and talk to
Leona to be able to add/remove recruits from
your active party; throw Gengen in there to
begin with, if you like. You can also talk to
Pohl in the basement to rest and save, and

the Blacksmith here can sharpen your weapons to level 3.


(- NOTE -) You can now give Barbara items to put in the Storehouse if your
inventory is starting to become full. You should put any extra runes and the
Old Books and such that you can't use just yet in there. You can go to Toto
Village and have anything identified, such as the Old Book you got in Kyaro.
Oh, and just so you know, don't put anything that's critically important that
you may need into the Storehouse; it will be unavailable for some time in a

Now, let's get started on recruiting. Our first stop will be Toto; it's

Choose either option to have him tell you
that he's starving and can't move, and
wants you to give him some food.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Okay....sure....
|
| [2] No way.
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Choose option 1 to go with him to the Inn where he'll eat his way back to good
health. The Innkeeper will tell you that you now owe 3,000 potch for his meal!
Choose 1 to pay the bill and to
recruit Rikimaru! If you choose 2,
you'll have to talk to the Innkeeper
and choose option 1 on the next
question to be able to recruit him.
He'll then head off to the fort to
get some grub.

o------------------------------------o
| [1] Okay.... I'll pay.
|
| [2] Why?
|
o------------------------------------o
| [1] I'll pay it.
|
| [2] Do whatever you want with him. |
o------------------------------------o

(- NOTE -) If you don't get Rikimaru now, you will have another chance when
you reach Coronet later on.
Next, there's a girl in a white hat in the northeastern corner of town; she's
Millie, and she'll ask you if you want something.
Choose 2 to learn that she's lost her pet
Bonaparte, then choose 1 to assist her in finding
poor little Bonaparte. Millie will join your party,
and you'll automatically be in the Ryube Forest.
(- NOTE -) The Woodpeckers here in the forest can
drop the Killer Rune.

o----------------------o
| [1] No. Nothing.
|
| [2] What's wrong.
|
o----------------------o
| [1] Sure I will.
|
| [2] Sorry, I'm busy. |
o----------------------o

Head northeast and follow the path to a fork. Head west first to find a poor
little baby bird that fell out of its nest.
Choose option 1 to put it back in its
o---------------------------------o
nest. Head north to the next area and
| [1] Put baby bird back in nest. |
you should see a fork where the path

goes northwest into some trees; take
o---------------------------------o
this path to find two chests with a
[_GAUNTLET_] and a [_LEATHER CAPE_]. If you go back and continue northeast,
you'll eventually end up at a dead-end with someone's house; there's nothing
here, but you'll be back here a little later.
Make your way back to the fork, then head east to the next area. Continue east
to spot Bonaparte, then continue along the path until you corner him at a
dead-end. You'll then have to fight him.

|
|
| Bonaparte can be difficult, but as long as you stay healed, you should be |

|
| rest of your party attack normally, having any of the remaining 3 healing |

| if someone needs it.


|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Afterward, Bonaparte will finally calm down to where Millie can take him back.
She asks you if you think he's cute!
Choose either option, then Millie will
o--------------------------------o
permanently join your party! Now, follow
| [1] I don't know about that... |
the path back to the baby bird; if no one | [2] I guess so....
|
is here, wander around a different area
o--------------------------------o
of the forest for a while, fighting
random enemies. Come back after a few minutes and you should see a guy and his
dog (if not, go back and fight some more.) Approach them to have him ask you
if you rescued the bird.
Choose option 1 to tell him that it was you. If
you happen to choose 2, you'll have to talk to
him again and admit that it was you to continue.
The guy, Kinnison, will tell you that his dog,
Shiro, knew that you rescued the bird, and that
they're hunters in this forest. He will then ask
you why you're here.
CHOOSE 1, otherwise
they will both leave
you and you won't be
able to recruit them.

o-------------------------o
| [1] That's right.
|
| [2] Not me.
|
o-------------------------o
| [1] Actually it was me. |
| [2] Oh nothing.
|
o-------------------------o

o--------------------------------------------------o
|
[1] We're looking for companions to join us. |
| NO! [2] I can't say....
|
o--------------------------------------------------o

Once you choose 1, he'll then join your party, as will Shiro! He'll then
ask if he should go with you.
I'm taking him with me since
o---------------------------------------o
Millie is terrible, but it's up to | [1] Yes.
|
you. Once you are finished here,
| [2] No, go to where the others are... |
follow the path back to Ryube.
o---------------------------------------o
Shop around and rest if you need
to, then head back out to the World Map. If you have any runes in the
Storehouse that you want to put on someone, I suggest going back to the fort
to get them since we'll be able to attach them momentarily. Whenever you're
ready, head to the far northwest to Toto Village once again.

As you enter the village, a small girl named


Pilika will recognize Jowy! She will run over
to him, and you'll wonder who this little
girl is.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Who is this kid?
|
| [2] A friend of Jowy's?
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Choose either option, and he'll tell you the rest of the story of what

happened to him, and how this girl's family helped him. Pilika will ask if you
are Jowy's friend.
Choose any option, and she'll ask for your
name too. Again, choose either one, then
Pilika will invite you over to her house.
Follow her up there and you'll meet
Pilika's family, and after a few words,
Pilika will ask you to go with her to her
room. There, she'll ask you to go to Muse
to get a wooden amulet that she saw; she
wants to get it for her daddy for his
birthday. She'll then give you [_70 POTCH_]

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

|
o-------------------------------o

for it. Will you get it for her?

Choose either option, and she'll tell you it's at


the big item store. That's all there is to do here,
but before you head off to Muse, check the Item Shop
and see if they have any Rare Finds, and make sure
that you have everything appraised, as you won't be

you have to do is push against the door like you did the boxes at the fort,

pursuing this area until the time actually comes in the game, but if you must

Head into the fort to go straight to Viktor


and Flik. Apple's furious with them since
they didn't keep in touch after the Gate
Rune War, as they went missing in action and
left without ever telling anyone! She tells
them what Luca has planned, since everything
is set up for him now that it looks like the
State broke the peace agreement. They'll plan
on what to do next as you are sent to your
quarters to rest. After getting Pilika to
finally go to sleep, Jowy wonders who he can trust after all that's happened.

but they're rusted over, so he wants you to
find a man called Tsai of the Divine Spear to help restore them.
You have to choose 1 to continue, so do so, and Flik
will give you [_2000 POTCH_] as payment to Tsai for
working on the spears. He's in the Ryube Forest, so

attacked and assumed he'd be needed for the Fire Spears, so he's already
packed and ready to go. He also declines the money, so we get to keep it! Tsai
joins! Make your way back to Ryube, and you'll see a movie of the village
being attacked...

Jowy thinks that you should take him on.

you out to prevent you from being
killed by Luca, and choosing 2

After the battle, Flik will vouch for your ability to fight, and Viktor will
decide to let you fight, and even let you lead a company! Leave their room to
automatically be back at your quarters. Down here, Jowy is trying to think of
a company name, and he likes Orange, but you can enter whatever you like. In
the history books in Suikoden III, your army will be known as the Dunan Army,
so that's what I'm going to name mine. I will usually reference it as 'your
army' or something like that, so it shouldn't be confusing. Afterward, while
you're sleeping, Pohl will run in and tell you that the Highland Army is
coming!
(- NOTE -) This is the last time you can take out from your Storehouse for
quite some time, so make sure to take out whatever you would like to use until
then.
Head all the way out of the fortress to the front where Viktor has gathered
the troops. Viktor will give his speech, Apple will inform you that she laid
some traps for them, and Tsai will tell you the Fire Spears are ready. Muse
will send reinforcements soon, so we must hold them off until then. In the
name of the great... lion (?) on the fort's flag, let's march to victory! You
will then be asked if you're ready.

Viktor says that we've earned a short rest, but this is short lived by the
news that Highland is attacking again! You'll then be asked if you're ready.

yourself. Head into the fort and make your

way to where you usually meet with Viktor
and Flik; you'll have to battle several sets of soldiers along the way before
making it there. Inside, you'll see your friend Pohl at the mercy of Luca
Blight, and after he's finished with Pohl (*sob*), he'll turn his attention to
Pilika. You need to QUICKLY choose option 1 when it comes up to help Jowy save
her, otherwise the option will go away and Jowy will attempt to do it himself.
QUICKLY choose 1, as I said before. You'll both

her, but he'll just laugh and get ready to strike.
o---------------------o
Just as he does, you'll hear several explosions as
Viktor and Flik run in to the rescue! They threw the Fire Spears into the
boiler, and they're starting to explode, so Luca will not get his hands on
Viktor's fort.
You'll then see a movie of everyone fleeing the burning fort, and afterward,
you, Jowy, Nanami, and three other random recruits will be gathered together
(I had Zamza, Hanna, and Gengen. If you don't like your setup, you can reset
and hope for a better party on the next run. I recommend doing so until Zamza
is with you.) Pilika cannot speak now, and Jowy wonders if Luca really did
silence her for good.
Choose either option, then Jowy
will tell you that we need to head
to Muse. On the way to Muse, we're
making a stop in Toto.

there, so keep following her to find a stone
that has writing inscribed on it: "My friend

regret that we could not make them one. -Han, Genkaku"
Jowy notices Genkaku's name on it, and when Hero goes to examine it, you'll be
teleported off to another part of the cave. Leknaat, the holder of the Gate
Rune, will then appear, telling you to go forward to attain your destiny. Go
forward, where you'll then see a sequence of Hero and Jowy's life, from their
first meeting up until escaping Kyaro with Flik, Viktor, and Nanami.
Leknaat will appear again, telling you that the Stars of Destiny are beginning
to gather once again, and that one of the 27 True Runes, the

Rune of the Beginning, has recognized you. If you go forward, you will be
granted the power to alter fate.
Choose option 1, and you'll decide to go

back to Leknaat, where she will tell you to
o-----------------------------o
write your own fates. You'll be back with
your party now, where Jowy confirms that what they just saw was not a dream.
When you regain control, leave the cave and leave Toto to the northwest, then
make your way to Muse.

Try to get into the city, and you'll be told that you need to get an entry
permit to be able to get in, as they're trying to look out for Highland spies.
Nanami will then try to get in her own way, which has no effect on the soldier
(too bad Rina isn't with us, huh? Heh...) and leads to the soldier insulting
her. As she gets ready to go off on him, you'll drag her off and then convince
her that we need to find another way to get in. Head back out to the World
Map.
We need to go to the White Deer Inn to continue, which is only a little bit
east of Muse, but before doing that, we need to get our party prepared as I'm
pretty sure that almost no one got the party that they were hoping for when
you left the fort. Fight around on the World Map and try to get everyone to at
least level 10, then head to Coronet and try to get everyone's weapons leveled
up (they can go to 5). Earn some extra money too, as you'll be able to buy
some items, accessories, and runes at the White Deer Inn.
Whenever you are ready to take on the next area, walk just east of Muse to
find the White Deer Inn.

that he found his way to the treasure, and he

and Jowy up, then you'll go downstairs where


you'll regain control. Talk to the peddler
sitting at the table if you want to buy some
items, and talk to the woman at the other
table if you need a Runemaster's help. If you
can afford it, try to get a Fire Rune for
Nanami, as you'll need it in the ruins here.
Go to leave the Inn and Alex will come
charging in again, saying that no one would
believe him about the treasure so no one
would help him. Nanami will ask him how he
got to talk to the people of Muse, and he'll
tell you about his entry permit, and he'll
offer you a deal; if you go help him find his
treasure, he'll lend you his entry permit!
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Forget about it. It sounds dangerous. |
| [2] Sounds interesting. We'll help.
|
o-------------------------------------------o
Choose 2 to help him out. Alex says that
Pilika has to stay here, which is okay, since
she can play with their son, Pete. Alex will
join your convoy, so get ready here and
after you save, leave the building.
Go right and then up two screens to come to a
door. Alex just learned how to open this door
not too long ago, so he'll open it for you.
He also warns us that there are monsters in
here, so we'll have to be careful. They are
pretty tough! Once inside, head north and
examine the object to the right of the door
to open it, then go through it to enter the
Sindar Ruins.

(- NOTE -) The Salamanders here can drop the Fire Lizard Rune, and the
Mr. Venus enemy can drop both the Titan Rune and the Unicorn Rune. Both the
Titan and Unicorn Runes can be purchased in Muse once you're there.
Head north to a fork; go west and north to find two chests containing a
[_MEGA MEDICINE_] and a [_STONE OF MAGIC_]. Go back to the fork, then head
north and follow the path to another fork. South is a dead-end, so head north
and go to the next screen.
You'll come to another fork, so go east, then south to a semi-hidden chest
with an [_ANGRY BLOW_] scroll inside. Go back and head north, then east across
the stairs and bridge to the other side. Go north first and get the
[_GAUNTLET_] out of the chest, then go south, then west and north along the
narrow path beside the river to the next area.
Keep following the path for a while until you come to a dead-end with six
statues. Push the top right statue to the right onto the button to open the
door, then go in and get the [_SHOULDER PADS_], as well as the
[_ROUND PLATE_]. Start making your way back the way you came, and when you
cross the bridge, use the Round Plate in the hole to the north to open up this
door. Go through the newly opened door to a new area.

At the four-way
when you can to
screen, then go
with the [_FIRE

fork, take the western path over the bridge, then go north
get the [_TRIANGLE PLATE_]. Keep going west to the next
through the half-open door when you reach it to find a chest
LIZARD RUNE_]. Go back to the four-way fork.

Go north this time to come to another fork; go east to the next area, then
follow this long path up all of these stairs to come to a place where you can
put the Triangle Plate in. Stick it in there to have all of the water in this
place drain out. Head back to the last fork, then head all the way north to a
chest with some [_CHAIN MAIL_] inside.
Go south and into the river bed, then head west and south to the next area, as
the forks to the west are dead-ends. Go south to yet another fork, but this
time go west to the next screen. Go up the stairs here and grab the
[_SQUARE PLATE_], then go back to the last fork and head south some more. In
this area, take the first path west and go up the stairs, opening the chest
with a [_WATER RUNE_].
Make your way back to land, then go to the fork at the bottom of this screen;
take the eastern path, which leads to a door where you can use the
Square Plate to open it up. Go in here and get [_OLD BOOK VOL. 2_] and the
[_MAGIC DRAIN RUNE_] out of the chests. Go back to the last fork, then go
north to this fork and go west across the bridge. Eventually you'll come to
another door that requires the Square Plate. If you haven't already, make sure
your party is healed to the max, then use the Journeyman's Crystal here. Use
the Square Plate on the door and head in.
Head north, then examine the plate beside the door. "Traveller, all that you
desire, all that you dream for, all that is most dear to you is here if your
heart is true..." What's most important to you?
Choose any option (I choose 1 to agree with Jowy and
Nanami), and Alex will say that it is treasure for him,
then the door will open. When you're ready to take on the
upcoming boss, head through the door to be greeted by a
greeted by a massive two-headed snake! Yikes!

o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, head north and up the stairs to the treasure. Alex will open
the chest, only to find a [_HEALING HERB_]. He's disappointed that this was
all he got, but Nanami tries to cheer him up, then suggests that we return.
Choose either option, because
you're going to head back

anyway. Just follow the path


| [2] Let's look around a little. Maybe.... |
all they way back to the
o-------------------------------------------o
entrance of the Sindar Ruins.
Out here, Alex will toss the Healing Herb off to the side, then you'll regain
control. Head back to the Inn to have the kids come running to you, trying to
tell you something about Hilda. You'll then see her lying on the floor!
Nanami will check on her, then start barking orders to everyone. Jowy will run
off to get a doctor while they get her into a bed. She has a really high
fever, and no one is sure what to do. You'll regain control.
Go back to the entrance to the Sindar Ruins and grab the [_HEALING HERB_] that
Alex tossed beside the door, then go back into the room where Hilda is. Talk
to Nanami to give it to her, then she'll use them to give to Hilda. Soon after
she takes it, she regains consciousness, and her fever is gone as well! After
a moment between Hilda and Alex, Jowy will come sprinting in, saying that he
couldn't find a doctor, but then he sees that she is okay...
Later on, Hilda thanks you for your help and Alex gives you the
[_ENTRY PERMIT_] that he promised you. You are now also allowed to stay here
for free for helping them out! Now, leave the White Deer Inn and head over to
Muse.

Here at Muse, Nanami will decide to come up


with a plan for the permit they got from
Alex. She will be Hilda, you'll be Alex, and
Jowy will be Pete...
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Nanami......
|
| [2] It'll be fine. Come on already.
|
| [3] Let's go, Pete.
|
o-------------------------------------------o
Choose any option, then talk to the guard.
Nanami will perform some horrible acting as
as the soldier asks which one of you is Alex.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Me! Me! Me!
|
| [2] Ahem, I am.
|
| [3] Who's who?
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Choose any option (3 will make Nanami elbow


you to remind you), then she'll elbow Jowy
when it comes his time to play Pete. The soldier won't believe any of it, and
will call for backup to take you all to prison! Once inside, Nanami can't
believe they were caught, since she thought they were perfect! You'll then be
asked who was the better actor.
Again, choose any option and the soldier will
come back in and yell at you, telling you to shut

o------------------------o
| [1] Jowy was better. |

up and go to sleep! After both Nanami and Pilika


fall asleep, something seems to be bothering
Jowy.

| [2] Nanami was better. |


| [3] You both stunk.
|
o------------------------o

Choose either option, and Jowy will point out the


o----------------------o
full moon. He reminisces about what all has
| [1] Can't you sleep? |
happened since they left Highland, and how he was
| [2] What is it?
|
jealous of you when they were kids, since your
o----------------------o
family, even though not related by blood, was
closer than his was. He'll ask you if you think they'll ever go back home.
Choose either option, and Jowy will
o-------------------------------------o
say that they will be able to go
| [1] Don't worry, we'll go back..... |
back once this stupid war is over.
| [2] .......................
|
He then starts beating himself up
o-------------------------------------o
again for not being able to protect
| [1] ..........................
|
Pilika and her family. Choose either | [2] It'll be okay............
|
one, and he'll tell you that he has
o-------------------------------------o
a dream to make this land safe
again, so Pilika and children like her can grow up without war. He'll
accidentally wake her up, so he'll lay her down and you'll go to sleep. The
next morning, Flik and Viktor come in to save you once again! They'll have you
freed, then will ask you to meet at Leona's new tavern, then after that, he
wants you to meet someone at the city hall. Once you have control, head to the
Inn/Tavern, which is the first building to the right. To the upper left is
Leona; talk to her to leave Pilika in her care while you go meet Viktor at
city hall.
(- NOTE -) You can find occasionally find Fury Runes in the Rare Finds at the
Rune Shop here in Muse. You may want to Save at the Inn, then check to see if
it's there. Since you haven't visited this Rune Shop either in a while or at
all, you should be able to reset what runes are available in the Rare Finds
every time you reload. Just make sure to save BEFORE going to look, otherwise
that's what's going to be there every time. Also, since you are free to move
around now, I'd put the Magic Drain Rune on Hero's weapon, as it will readily
keep his level 1 MP replenished, allowing you to use Great Blessing over and
over to keep your party healed.)
(- NOTE -) * CLIVE'S STORY *
Before going to city hall, there is an event that we need to trigger. Please
do this now, as you will not be able to later on once the story has progressed
past Muse. Head east past the Inn, then head up to be beside the Rune Shop. Go
right and up from there to meet a lady named Elza; she'll ask you for a favor.
Choose either option, and she'll ask you to hold on to
[_TWO PACKAGES_] that she'll come back for in a little
bit. Now head north through this passage to run into
another familiar face, Clive. He asks you if you've seen
a tall woman with blond hair around.

o-----------------o
| [1] Eh?
|
| [2] Yeah, sure. |
o-----------------o

Choose either option, and he'll run off looking o--------------------------o


for her. Now make your way back to the entrance | [1] Nope. Never saw her. |
of town. Act as if you're going to leave, and
| [2] I...errr.....
|
Elza will come back and retrieve the packages
o--------------------------o
from you. For helping her out, she will give
you [_SOUND SET #1_]. Clive will then find you with her; he's an officer of
the Howling Voice Guild, and he wants to make sure that she pays for her
crimes. At this point Elza will take out a pair of guns and shoot at Clive
from under your arms! She'll then take off, with Clive following her.

(- NOTE -) There is much more to Clive and Elza's story. I have witnessed
these events a few times, but it's somewhat difficult, as you have to be at
certain points of the game at certain times, and you have to get to the final
point of the game within 20 hours. I believe there's far too much to this game
to try to rush it this fast, but if you want to, you must reach Lakewest's Inn
at or before _11:00:59_ to witness the next event. I will detail it when you
reach that area of the guide.
Now let's head to the city hall, which is all the way to the north at the
center of town. Head up the stairs inside to run into Viktor, and he'll take
you to meet the mayor of Muse City, Anabelle. After she's done dealing with
one of the officials, she'll talk to Viktor about his fort and Luca Blight.
Afterward, Viktor will introduce the three of you, and when he does, Anabelle
recognizes Jowy's name, as well as both you and Nanami's as Genkaku's
children. She'll decide to tell you more about Genkaku later on, then wonders
how he's doing, not knowing that he died before the State could atone for
their crimes against him.
Choose either option, then she'll leave
o--------------------------------o
you in the care of Jess. Viktor will head | [1] Atone for your crimes?
|
over to Leona's, then Jess will let you
| [2] .......................... |
look around the hall. Follow him into the o--------------------------------o
room on the upper right and Jess will
have a request for you; Luca's army is camped out near the border, and he'd
like you to go there in Youth Brigade uniforms to try and see how much
provisions they have with them.
You must choose option 2 to advance the story,
so do so. You'll then receive the
[_HIGHLAND UNIFORM_] x2. Before leaving the city
hall, check the top bookshelf to find a ? book,
which can be identified as [_OLD BOOK VOL. 4_].
Make sure to identify this at the Appraiser! That's
now, so go ahead and head back out into town.

o------------------------o
| [1] Sorry, but no way. |
| [2] We'll do it.
|
o------------------------o
it in the city hall for

Before going to Leona's Tavern, there are a couple of things to take care of
first. Start to head south while looking to your east, and you should see a
little boy walking around a house; it's Tuta! Talk to him, and he'll ask you
about the fort burning down.
Choose either option, and he'll take you inside to
o----------------------o
see Dr. Huan. He's worried about the war starting
| [1] I'm fine.
|
again, so he'll tell Tuta to go and help out
| [2] It was horrible. |
Viktor! Tuta joins your party! Head back inside the o----------------------o
house and talk to Dr. Huan one last time, and he'll
also give you [_RECIPE #3_] as well! (Make sure to get this, it is missable.)
(- NOTE -) If you don't get Tuta now, he will automatically join you later on
once you acquire your Headquarters and name it.
Head back to Leona's Tavern, and Jowy will tell her about Jess's plan. She'll
want you to be careful and to take some of your friends with you. You can talk
to her anytime after this and change them if you like! Just so you know, there
is one more person I want you to recruit, but before doing this, make sure you
have some Antitoxin; if not, go to the Item Store and get some.
After automatically leaving the Tavern, go back in and talk to the lady
sitting at the table below Pilika; this is Anita. She'll ask you to do several
things for her. After each request, you'll have to leave Muse out to the World

Map, then come back in to talk to her to be able to recruit her. Her requests:
1) She'll ask you for a refill of her wine. Talk to Leona to get it filled.
2) She'll say something about
a female swordsman being so
rare. Choose option 2 to
make her happy.

o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] That's true.
|
| [2] But I've never seen one so beautiful. |
| [3] .............................
|
o-------------------------------------------o

3) She'll ask you if you could give her some Antitoxin;


choose option 2 to give her one of yours. If you're out,
you may have to go get some, leave Muse and come back,
then try again.

o-------------o
| [1] No way. |
| [2] Okay. |
o-------------o

After doing these things for her, she'll ask you what you really want.
Choosing 1 or 2 will allow Anita to join
your party!

o--------------------------------o
| [1] C'mon, join our group.
|
| [2] I....I...how about a date? |
| [2] Nothing really.....
|
o--------------------------------o

(- NOTE -) If you don't get Anita now,


you'll be able to recruit her later on in
in Banner Village, either by doing what
she asks, or by having a certain character (Valeria) in your party.

After all of these events, you should be ready to continue on. Talk to Leona
to choose your party (I'm taking Zamza, Shiro and Mukumuku. Animals/Monsters
actually have pretty good ATT/DEF when leveled up, and don't need equipment,
but the only drawback is that they can't use items. They can use magic and
runes though, with my favorite being Double-Beats! I also have a Fire Rune on
Zamza, and the Spark and Water Runes on Nanami. Nanami is fairly quick, and
the Spark Rune will allow all of your other party members to attack
immediately after her!) Take some time to upgrade your party's equipment if
you need to, including any runes you want to use. The Blacksmith on the north
side of town can sharpen your weapon to 4, but you may want to consider a
short trip to Coronet to get them up to 5.
Before going to the Muse-Highland Border, we can recruit one more character.
Leave Muse, go through the remains of Toto, then go to the Mercenary Fortress.

Here, you'll see another familiar face from long ago; Templton the mapmaker is
here, and he wants to look around, seeing as he will have to change his maps
again. He'll go to leave since he can't do anything and will spot you. After
telling him your story, Templton tells you that he needs to change his map.
Choose either option and he'll introduce
himself, then he'll run off since he is in a
rush. Leave here and head to Toto, which is
where he headed.

village; he will ask if the Highland Army is
responsible for these villages being burnt
down like this.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Yeah.........
|
| [2] ....................
|

Choose 1; if you choose 2, you'll
have to talk to him again and
choose 1 on the next question.
Templton will then join you to try
to keep them from ruining
everything he's been mapping! He
then gives you the [_SUIKO MAP_]
which shows the actual World Map!

but just to let you know, you will be able to
buy it when you reach South Window. Also, the
Highlands here can drop the Silence Rune, and
as far as I know, this is the only place to
get it.
At the border, talk to the soldiers to inform
them of the situation to have them let you
pass, and will also show you the way. Talking
to the guy on the right will let you pass by
him and into the woods on the way to the
camp. Go east, then north to the next area,
then you'll be in a wide open area with
several forks. From the entrance to this
area, head all the way east to a different
area, where you'll find a [_CIRCURET_] at a
dead-end.

Head back to the last area, but before going anywhere, look to your northwest
for the second chest here with a [_BELT OF STRENGTH_] inside. Go back to the
entrance of this little alcove, then head a little east, then all the way
north to the next area.

Head north, and keep following the path to the next area, then continue
following to the next area, then head north to have you and Jowy decide that
it's time to go alone from here. You'll change into the uniforms, then will
head into the Highland Camp.
Head into the camp, and Jowy will spot the provisions tent. Head northeast
over to it, and when Jowy tries to think up a plan, a soldier spots you. He
quickly comes up with a story about how they managed to survive the State's
ambush, at which the soldier comments how the State is pure evil!
Choose either option, and you'll be led to
the provisions tent to get some butter. The
other soldier will then recognize something
about you guys!
I would choose option 1, as it will avoid
an extra battle with the Highland soldiers
in a few minutes, but if you choose 2, it
will lead to the next set of questions, to
where you can choose either there, which
eventually leads to them being told that
Rowd was your Captain. Once you're in the
tent, Jowy calculates that they have about
2 weeks worth of provisions, so they're going

to end things quickly.

When you leave the tent, Rowd will discover you (if you had to tell them that
Rowd was your Captain, you'll have to battle a set of soldiers here) and will
run off to get some soldiers. In any case, once you start to run off, head
back to the provisions tent and open the chest outside of it for the
[_FIRE SEALING RUNE_]. After you have that, head west and enter the larger
tent to your left that seems kind of fancy.
Inside, you'll find Princess Jillia! Rowd will come in moments later to check
the tent to see if you're in there, but she will chase him off, allowing you
to be safe for just a little bit. She'll go off to fix some tea while you wait
for things to cool down outside, and once it's ready, she'll remember seeing
you in Kyaro and asks if we have forgiven Highland yet.
Choose either option, and she'll
ask you if you know her brother
Luca. Choose either option, and she
will tell you that he has something
horrible planned, and that she's
afraid not even she can stop him.
She then recommends that you leave.

o--------------------------------------o
| [1] I will....someday I know I will. |
| [2] .....................
|
o--------------------------------------o
| [1] I know him.
|
| [2] .....He's a fiendish monster.
|
o--------------------------------------o

Choose either option again, and you'll be


o----------------------------o
back outside. Head southwest back toward the
| [1] You're right.
|
forest, and Rowd will spot you, knowing that
| [2] The tea was delicious. |
you were in her tent the entire time. After
o----------------------------o
being thrown into a battle with a group of
soldiers, Jowy decides that he'll stay behind and fight so you can escape.
Choose either option, and you'll be forced to leave
while he defends. When you get back to Nanami,
there's not really a chance to talk before you're
spotted. Afterward, Nanami asks where Jowy is.
If you choose option 2, and keep
choosing 2, you'll keep fighting

o----------------------o
| [1] I can't do that. |
| [2] Okay. See ya.
|
o----------------------o

o-----------------------------------------o
| [1] First we have to get out of here... |

battles until you choose 1 to


| [2] .......................

run away. If you're trying to
o-----------------------------------------o
get the Silence Rune, this is
the only way to do it. After you've made it back to the entrance, leave and
make your way back to Muse.

Nanami will wonder if you should report to


Jess, so head all the way up to city hall to
do so. When you go to Anabelle's office,
you'll be told that you can't go in, so leave
and make your way back to Leona's. You'll
find Viktor and Flik here, and they'll be
furious that they sent you on that mission
and that Jowy was captured. They'll join your
convoy, so head back to city hall to see
Viktor's 'good trick' (HAAA!) to get in. He
will then go off on Jess, then you'll be
asked the findings of your investigation.

Pick either option, and Anabelle will

tell you that they won't be able to
| [1] About 2 weeks worth.......
|
save Jowy, as they have their hands
| [2] ............................. |
full protecting the city. Jess and
o-----------------------------------o
Viktor will go back and forth a bit
more, and since mercs like them don't get any say in the matter around here,
it'll be time to let them do their own thing. Everyone will head back to the
tavern, and Nanami will wonder if Jowy's all right.
Choose either option, and Nanami will
decide to go wait for Jowy out by the
gate. After a bit, leave the Tavern and go
outside of Muse to wait for Jowy with
Nanami. When you talk to her, she'll
recommend that you head back and rest while

o-------------------------------o
| [1] It's Jowy. He'll be fine. |
| [2] I don't know........
|
o-------------------------------o
she waits for Jowy to come back.

If you choose 1, you'll sit out


o--------------------------------------o
with her a bit longer before she
| [1] I'll wait with you.
|
asks you again to go back and
| [2] Okay. See you later.
|
rest at Leona's. If you choose 1
o--------------------------------------o
once again, you'll sit out with her | [1] I'm staying with you.
|
even longer, then Pilika will come
| [2] Okay. See you later.
|
out and wait with you. If you
o--------------------------------------o
choose 2 this time, you'll wait
| [1] .....Would you wait in my place? |
with her some more, then Nanami
| [2] He'll come back. He promised... |
will reminisce of a time when you
o--------------------------------------o
were lost and they had to wait for
you. She'll then recommend one last time that you head to Leona's.
Choosing 1 one last time will let you stay
out longer, and Nanami will finish her story,
telling you that Jowy cried the whole time
you were lost. Pilika will fall asleep, and
just a moment later, Nanami leaps up and sees

o----------------------------o
| [1] I'm waiting with you. |
| [2] Okay. See you later. |
o----------------------------o

Jowy coming from the distance! He says he kept his promise to come back.
Choose either option,
fade out and shift to
Nanami waking both of
something is starting

and the scene will


a week later, with
you. She says
at Jowston Hill!

o-----------------------------o
| [1] Welcome home.
|
| [2] I'm tired from waiting. |
o-----------------------------o

(- NOTE -) Jowy will be leaving your party soon. Before doing anything, make
sure that he only has the Black Sword Rune equipped in any rune slots, and
go ahead and remove all of his equipment while you're at it.
Head all the way to the northwestern corner of the city and make your way up
to Jowston Hill, where you'll run into Viktor. He'll tell you that the Hilltop
Conference is getting ready to start, a meeting of all of the City-State's
leaders. Viktor will join your convoy and try to take you in, but since he
has no proof of identity, he won't let Viktor in. Of course, Flik of the Blue
Lightning comes up and is allowed in immediately! Flik will join your convoy
as well, and you'll enter.
Head into the next room and you'll see everyone being introduced, then the
meeting will begin. Anabelle believes that Highland is about to attack, but
others think that Highland is still compliant with the peace agreement, saying
that they heard mountain bandits attacked the villages to the east. Teresa
says that the commander of the Highland Army changed from King Agares to
Prince Luca, so things are now different than they once were. Several of the
leaders refuse to commit their knights, but then a soldier will come in and
Jess will report that the Highland Army is headed for Muse as they speak.
Anabelle orders them once more to gather their armies.
Head back outside, and Nanami comments about how it looked like nothing but a
bunch of old people talking, which Viktor says is his point of view as well!
Head back to Leona's and both Anabelle and Apple will be waiting for you. She
informs you that it will take 7 days to gather the State's forces, so she
wants Viktor to slow them down. It'll take Highland 5 days to get here, so she
needs him to only buy 2 days. They'll agree, then Jowy will ask to fight along
with them. He'll also offer your help as well.
Choose 2, because if you choose 1, you'll be forced
to choose 2 on the next question to be able to
continue. Anabelle will tell you to stay safe, and
that when the battle is over, to come visit and she
will tell you about Genkaku. The next morning,
Nanami will wake you as usual, even though neither
of you slept last night. Head downstairs and, after
the conversation, save your game at the Inn.
Afterward, talk to Viktor, who'll ask if you're ready

o---------------------o
| [1] Well I.....
|
| [2] Of course.
|
o---------------------o
| [1] Well I.....
|
| [2] ..........okay. |
o---------------------o
to fight.

Whenever you're ready, choose option 1 to head into your


third Major Battle!

o--------------o
| [1] Yes.
|
| [2] Not yet. |
o--------------o

o--------o
o------------------------------o
| s1.mb3 |
| Major Battle - Muse City (1) |
o--------o------------------------------------o------------------------------o
|
|
| You'll be up against Solon Jhee once again, as well as Culgan and Seed.
|
| There is also a group of mercenaries hired by Highland, led by Gilbert;
|
| he is our first target, as he is our next recruit! You'll be controlling |
| three units this time, but Viktor and Flik still operate on their own.
|

|
|
| For your first turn, leave Hero where he is, as you'll need to have him
|
| head up to heal Gilbert, then have the State Army units head 1 over to the |
| left. On the next turn, Flik should head over and use the Fire Spear on
|
| Gilbert; this should do one sword's worth of damage, and by doing this,
|
| Gilbert should defect and join your army! If this does not happen, RESET |
| your game and try again! After this happens, try to get Hero up to Gilbert |
| as fast as you can to get within 2 squares so you can use your Bright
|
| Shield Rune to heal him (and anyone else within range) and return him back |
| to undamaged.
|
|
|
| If Gilbert's unit is eliminated, there shouldn't be any need to worry as |
| long as he says "That's it. Fall back." That just means that he's still
|
| alive, just eliminated from the battle. For the following turns, have Hero |
| and both State Army units either attack or stay away from the action; this |
| battle will end after a certain amount of turns anyway.
|
|
|
| On the third turn, Miklotov of Matilda, along with two groups of Matilda |
| soldiers will come in as reinforcements; good for us! Sadly, after a few |
| more turns, Camus will arrive and tell him that Gorudo orders him to
|
| retreat, but don't worry; the following turn, the Highland Army will
|
| retreat as well.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, everyone will rest up. Talk to Nanami when you regain
control, and she'll ask you if she can ask you something.
Choose either option, then she'll decide not to
ask and just let you get some rest too. You'll
also see Jowy talking to the ninja Kage... then
he'll wonder if he's taking the right path...

o------------------------o
| [1] Sure.
|
| [2] I'm kind of tired. |
o------------------------o

The next day, head downstairs to have Viktor tell you to say hi to Anabelle
since we're heading up there to hear about Genkaku. You'll be leaving Muse
soon, so do the last of your shopping while you can. When you're ready, head
back to city hall and talk to Anabelle; when you arrive in her office, you'll
see some more bickering between leaders of the State, which leads to Anabelle
asking you to come back later since they're still in the middle of
negotiations. Before leaving, Jowy asks her why she's fighting, to which she
replies that she just wants to protect her home.
Head back to the Tavern to explain to Flik why you're back, then Jowy will run
off. When you regain control, talk to Nanami; she wants you to get some rest.
Choosing 2 will let you rest now,
but if you choose 1, you'll need
to leave the Inn and head back up
to city hall; you'll see Jowy
talking to Kage again on the right
side of it. Kage will disappear, and

o---------------------------------------o
| [1] I'm kind of...worried about Jowy. |
| [2] Yeah....I know......
|
o---------------------------------------o
you'll wonder what's going on.

Choose either option, and he'll tell you


that the war won't end for a long time,
and that you and Nanami should run away.
Pick either one again, and he'll just
leave. Back in Anabelle's office later
that night, you'll see Viktor and
Anabelle sharing a bottle of wine, talking

o-------------------------------o
| [1] What are you doing?
|
| [2] Who was that person?
|
o-------------------------------o
| [1] What are you going to do? |
| [2] Yeah........
|
o-------------------------------o

about the war, and after that, you'll


regain control back at the Tavern. Make your way up to city hall and go
inside; when you talk to the guard, he tells you that Jowy is already inside!
The scene will switch to him and Anabelle, where Jowy tells her that he's here
for her life! She asks him if there's something he has to do at all costs, and
he must do this and bear the burden to be able to accomplish his goal. After
you gain control, head back to Anabelle's room to see Jowy standing over her.
Choose either option, and Jowy will take
o-------------------------------o
off. As you go to check on her, Jess will
| [1] Jowy! What happened!?
|
come in to report that Highland is
| [2] Jowy....you didn't....... |
attacking, and will see you beside her,
o-------------------------------o
thinking that you've done something to
her! A soldier will come in and report that someone had also let them inside
of the city, so he'll take off while Anabelle tries to speak to you.
Pick either option, and she'll apologize
to you for what she and the State did to
Genkaku, and will ask if you were happy
with your life with him.
Choose either option once more,
and she'll say that she'll finally
be able to rest, and that you
should hurry and escape the city.
As you leave city hall, Nanami
remembers that they must save Pilika

o---------------------------------o
| [1] Try not to talk.
|
| [2] Lady Anabelle, how are you? |
o---------------------------------o

o---------------------------------------o
| [1] Yes..........
|
| [2] Why? Why do you ask such a thing? |
o---------------------------------------o
at the Tavern before they leave!

(- NOTE -) The Highlands here have a chance of dropping the Great Hawk Rune.
This rune can be purchased later on in Radat if you don't want to waste time
here trying to obtain it.
If you feel like fighting around, do so, but to continue on, head to the
Tavern. Leona will tell you that Viktor and Flik went to gather the army to
try to buy some time, but in the mean time, they want everyone to rendezvous
in South Window by taking a boat from Coronet. Pilika will join your convoy,
then after that, leave Muse.
That night, the three will camp out under a large tree somewhere around Muse,
where Nanami wonders if Jowy really did that to Anabelle. She then wants to
know if they can go somewhere far away where they could live a quiet life.
Pick either option to watch her hopes be
dashed, then she'll go to sleep. The
next morning, they decide to head to
Coronet. Go down a bit to enter Coronet.

Once you enter the town, Nanami suggests


taking a boat to get to Kuskus, then going to
South Window from there. Before going to the
docks, head into the Inn on your right, then
go downstairs to the Tavern. If you talk to
the man in the room to the north, he'll give

you [_RECIPE #5_]. Leave the Inn and head


south to the next area of Coronet, then south
to the area after that, then south and west.
If you talk to the Highland soldier at the
westernmost dock to the south, he'll tell you
that Luca ordered that no ships are to leave.
So now we need to find another way...

Make your way back to the start of town and


enter the actual Inn, not through the Tavern
downstairs. When you enter, you'll run into our old friends Eilie, Rina, and
Bolgan! Eilie will barrel through Nanami to get to you, trying to find out why
you're here, then she'll introduce herself as the person who saved your life!
Choose either option, and you will all head
o----------------------------o
down to the Tavern. After some chatter, you
| [1] It's been a long time. |
will tell them about trying to get to South
| [2] Saved my life?
|
Window, which is where they're trying to get
o----------------------------o
to as well. After wondering what they should
do, you'll regain control. Before doing anything, go to the Inn and save your
game; you will be playing a game that will be risking your money in a moment,
and you need to win to continue the story. Also, you need 2,000 potch; if you
don't have that, sell something or go fight outside until you have it.
Once you've saved, head back to the area of town with the docks, then make
your way EAST to the next screen. You'll come up to an old shack, where you'll
find an old Suikoden pal, Sheena, yelling through the door at another old
friend, Tai Ho for not taking his boat out for him. After he leaves, go into
the shack and talk to Tai Ho; he won't want to take anyone across the lake.
Pick option 1, and he'll take a

you or not! Choose option 1 to

|
him until you win, which is
o--------------------------------------o
hopefully soon; if you feel you're
losing too much money, reset and try again. It may take a few tries, but
eventually you will win. Once you have, Tai Ho decides to take you, but Nanami
will want to get the others before going. Head back to the Tavern to let them
know what's going on, then Eilie, Rina, and Bolgan will join your party!
Stop at the Item Shop if you need to, then sharpen everyone's weapons to 5 if
you can, and when you're ready, head back to Tai Ho's shack. He'll comment on
how many friends you have, then everyone will board the boat and take off,
with Sheena trailing behind and missing the boat! After a short trip across
the lake, you'll arrive in Kuskus.

Tai Ho tells you that he's fulfilled his


promise, then will head off. There's really
not much here to do in Kuskus; there's one
item, so let's go get that. Head west from
the docks to the next area, then west some more to the main part of town. Go
into the first door you see to the north, then go to the western side of this
house and check the first bookshelf you come across on the northern wall; you
will find [_RECIPE #9_]. After that, you're pretty much done. I'd sharpen my
weapons, but that'd be about it; you can sharpen them to 6 here for the time
being. Check out the Item Shop too, then when you're done, head to the
southern end of town and out to the World Map.

stronger version of her that you'll encounter later on late in the game in
Greenhill, the TargetGirl. Also, the Flyer can drop the Medicine Rune and a
? vase, which turns out to be the Celadon Urn. You may have already used the
Medicine Rune with Tuta; the user automatically uses a Medicine (if equipped)
on a critically injured ally. As for the Celadon Urn, they sell for a lot of
money, but in addition, you'll need it at some point to recruit a character.
Feel free to fight, but just a warning, these first fights can be tough. You
are better off heading to South Window to get prepared first, then afterward
you can try fighting around.

When you enter South Window, you'll see a
familiar figure in the shadows; it's Viktor!
Eilie will wonder who that is.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Well sort of.....
|
| [2] That's Viktor.
|
| [3] That's Bear.
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Hahaha, please choose 3, just for kicks! In any case, Viktor is glad to see
you, though he's having a hard time finding everyone that escaped from Muse.
He then checks out the new girls with you, then will ask where Jowy is.
Choose either one, but option 1 will let Viktor
o-------------------------o
know that he assassinated Anabelle. Afterward,
| [1] Well actually...... |
he decides to take you to the Inn, since Flik is | [2] .................. |
waiting there for us. Before going to the Inn,
o-------------------------o
there's an item and a few points of interest
here in South Window. (You'll notice that Clive is here near the entrance; you
won't be able to do anything with him yet, though.)
>From the entrance, head south under the arch and make your way to the eastern
side of town. You'll see Gantetsu, a great priest, standing beside a rock
formation; you can't do anything with him, but there's a great item in the
plants to the east of him. Check the second to last one on the right to find
the [_FRIENDSHIP RUNE_]. This rune can be attached to a weapon to increase
your ATT, and the power of it increases when you recruit more Stars of
Destiny! Sweet! You should head back to Kuskus and put this on someone, since
there's no Blacksmith here. (I'm going to put in on Nanami, as I still have
the Magic Drain Rune on Hero, since it will always keep replenishing your
Great Blessing spell.)
Also before going to the Inn, go to the Rune Shop and take Rina's Fire Rune
off and put it on Eilie; Rina will be sitting out for the next area, so it
will give Eilie a rune to work with. Also, if you have any Double-Beat or Fury
Runes, go ahead and put one in Hero's Left Handed rune slot, I'd go for the
Fury and save the Double-Beat for Viktor, if you have one. After you've done
these things, make your way to the Inn on the western side of town.
In here, Viktor says he's got some bad news; he'll tell you the story of what
they went through before they arrived here. Afterward, he'll tell you that it
is time to meet the mayor of the town, Granmeyer, so he and Flik will join
your party! Leave the Inn and head to the eastern side of town where Gantetsu
is standing, then head north up to city hall. Once you're inside, Granmeyer
agrees to hiring Viktor, but he also mentions that Viktor is from North
Window, and will have his assistant Freed tell him what's been going on.
Apparently there have been some young girls being abducted near North Window,
and since Viktor is from that village, Granmeyer wants him to find out what's
been happening there. Freed Y will then join your party to help out!
Nanami wants to know why it's going to be hard for Viktor, but he'll tell her
that they'll find out when they get there. You'll then see a movie of a
vampire playing a massive organ... (no...not again....)
When you regain control, make your way back to the Inn. Viktor will brief
everyone on what's going on, then a party of Hero, Nanami, Viktor, Freed Y,
and Eilie will form, since Bolgan, Pilika, and Rina will stay behind, with
Rina asking for Flik's company. (The poor guy always gets stuck with some
random woman!) Once you regain control, make your rounds to the Rune Shop,
Item Shop, and Armory, getting your party ready. (I upgraded everyone's armor
and also put a Lightning Rune on Freed Y; you'll probably have to fight around
outside for money, as you'll need good equipment, since the monsters in the
following areas are pretty tough.) Also, you may want to head to Kuskus and
sharpen Freed Y's weapon to 6. Once you're ready, make your way out of South
Window and head northwest to North Window.

Nanami apologizes to Viktor for asking about

Neclord attacked this village many years ago
while he was away, but he avenged everyone
when he defeated Neclord a few years ago.

To Viktor's surprise, Neclord walks up to him! He'll summon the corpses of all
of the people that Viktor had buried! He also notices the women in your party,
saying that they would make lovely brides for him.

tells you about the Star Dragon Sword, the only
sword that can hurt Neclord, so we're going to have to get it once again. He
then tells you to come with him to go get the sword.
Choose either option, and Viktor will
tell you that he left the Star Dragon
Sword in the deepest part of the Cave of
the Wind to the south of here, so we
need to retrieve it. Head out of North
Window, and when you're ready, head south

Rune and a Wind Hat (the Wind Rune can be
bought at South Window right now, but the
Wind Hat only shows up much later in the game
in the Rare Finds in Tinto, so you may want
to try to get some), the Minos can drop a
Gozz Rune, which you can buy later at both
Rockaxe and Gregminster, and the SunKing can
drop the Wall Rune, and this is the only
place to get that.
After Viktor removes the rock pile blocking
the entrance, save your game at the
Journeyman's Crystal, then head inside.
Follow the path to the next screen, then
continue following along to the screen after
that as well. Head east here, again to
another area, then when the path curves and
you reach a fork, head north and west into
the wall here; it's a hidden passage that'll
take you to a chest with a [_SUN BADGE_].

all the way up to block the first two paths, then move the easternmost rock
left to block the third path, then the southernmost rock left to block the
fourth and final path. Once you've done that, note that you're at a fork.
Check the northern alcove to the west first to find an old man guarding a
chest with [_3000 POTCH_], some [_MEDICINE_], and finally a
[_BLUE GATE RUNE_]. You can talk to the old man here, but I wouldn't; he'll
offer to send you back to the entrance.

go to the next area. Follow the path as it goes north

to the next area, then keep following along to the next
area as well to a room with several forks. At the first one, take the southern
path to the lower level, then make your way west to the next fork. Head
southwest here to yet another fork; heading west from here will lead you to a
[_HALF HELMET_], while heading south and east will take you to a
[_STONE OF DEFENSE_]. I always use these types of Stones on Hero, as he's the
only one who's in your party 100 percent of the time.
Head back to the fork and head northwest, and at this fork, continue west and
to the next area. As you head north here, a figure will come out of the
shadows; his name is Kahn Marley, and he's been waiting for Viktor! He tells
you that the Marley family has been hunting vampires for generations, and he's
been waiting for Viktor to come along to get the Star Dragon Sword. Neclord is
using the Doppelganger Secret to make a double of himself, so the Neclord
Viktor defeated was not the true one. With the Sword this time, he hopes to
cast out his soul and defeat him from there. He then asks to travel with you.

After the battle, Viktor tries to calm him down and apologizes to him, telling
him that he needs his help since Neclord is still alive, and after some more
apologies, the Star Dragon Sword will agree to help once again. When you
regain control, you'll automatically head back to the entrance of the Cave of
the Wind. Before going to North Window, go to either Kuskus or South Window
and rest at the Inn, save, then make your way back to North Window.

After some discussion between your party,


head all the way north and enter the castle.
In this first room, go through the door on
the right first and you'll find a
[_FIRE RUNE_] in the western corner of the
room. Head back and go through the left door,
then north and west to the next screen, then
west to a somewhat large room with a few
different exits. First, go west and down the
stairs to find a chest with a
[_STONE OF MAG-DEF_] inside; use it, then go
back upstairs. In case you're wondering, the
door on the northern wall just takes you down
to the prison, and there's nothing
interesting there (except a hint for a puzzle
we will encounter momentarily), so just take
the western door to the next screen, and keep
following this path a few screens until you
reach a room with five statues.
First, move the statue that is furthest left
to the left some more, and it will open up a
doorway in the middle, so go in there and get
the [_DARKNESS RUNE_] out of the chest, then

go back. Move the statue that is out of place


into the blank spot on the ground to open up a new passageway, then go through
the new passageway, following this path through many screens as well, until
you reach a room with 10 torches.
Do you see the pattern the torches are lit right now (with the fourth one not
lit?) Copy the same pattern onto the bottom row by going up to 1, 2, 3, and 5,
and pressing X. The fourth one in each row shouldn't be lit, and the doorway
in the middle will open, allowing you to go in and get the [_BLUE RIBBON_] out
of the chest in here. Now, go back and the torches should be lit the way they
were when you first came in, so just light the fourth one in the first row to
open the next passageway.
Go through the newly opened door and follow the straightforward path until you
finish crossing a bridge. In the next room, go up the stairs, then open the
chests to your right; there are a [_CHAIN MAIL_] and a [_NECKLACE_] in them,
so grab them, then go up the stairs, following the path all the way to where
Neclord is still playing the organ.
Neclord was expecting Viktor and the Star Dragon Sword, but not Kahn, though
it doesn't really surprise him. Neclord will raise an old friend of Viktor's,
Daisy, to their presence, and Neclord will give him a choice; either give him
the Star Dragon Sword, or he won't let Viktor have Daisy.
Choose either option, and Viktor will
walk up to Daisy, then lop off her
head, saying that the dead are gone
forever, then Nanami gets caught up in
the moment, wanting you to fight too!
Choose either option, then Neclord will
run away, leaving behind the boss!

|
|
| As with the Star Dragon Sword, have Hero and Nanami use their Family
|
| Attack, Kahn use the Charm Arrow spell on his Resurrection Rune, then the |
| Scolding spell or any scrolls he may have equipped, have Viktor attack
|
| normally, and have Freed Y and Eilie use their runes (if they have them
|
| equipped). When Nanami's unbalanced, have her heal, and you may want to
|
| have someone else on healing duty as well; probably Hero and Battle Oath |
| spell first, then his Great Blessing spell. The Abomination has a some
|
| dangerous attacks as well, since he can attack twice in one turn like the |
| Star Dragon Sword. His main one attacks everybody with a pink flare from |
| his mouth, but the other ones are just a hit with two of his arms, which |
| does some damage, and an attack where he jumps on everybody for minor
|
| damage, not nearly as much as the pink flare. Just keep everyone healed
|
| and use Kahn's Yell spell to keep everyone revived, if you need to.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, Freed Y decides that they better go back to South Window and
give a report. Before MOVING, go to your menu and take anything off of Kahn
that you may want, even if it's just a scroll or two, then head south back
outside. Kahn will decide to keep following Neclord, so he'll leave your
party. Make your way back south to the entrance where you'll find Flik,
Apple, Leona, Tsai, Rina, Bolgan, and Pilika, and they bring news with them;
South Window has fallen to Highland, and Lord Granmeyer was killed by Solon
Jhee...

o----------------------------o run around and try to get familiar with it.
Inside the castle, Flik tells you that they were attacked just after we left,
and Granmeyer surrendered unconditionally, and the next morning, his head was
hanging from the castle gate. They were able to escape, and met with Apple,
Tsai and Leona along the way. Now they're sure Highland will be heading here
soon, and no one will be sure what to do.
Choose option 2, because if you choose 1, you
o--------------------------o
will have to run to the surrounding towns just

|
to confirm that you cannot escape. When you
| [2] There must be a way. |
choose 2, everyone will doubt that there's a
o--------------------------o
way, then Apple will tell you that they may be
able to fight the Highland Army with the right strategy. She doesn't have this
strategy, but she knows of a man named Shu from Radat who does. Flik and
Viktor will go round up some soldiers, so you'll be given the task of talking
to Shu, so Apple will go with you. After she joins your convoy, choose the
rest of your party. For the sake of recruiting our next character, take ONLY
Rina, Eilie, and Anita, leaving 1 spot open. (This is just my preference, you
only need to take a party of all women.)
(- NOTE -) Without you being told, Apple and Leona have officially joined your
army now! You can talk to Leona to change your party members as usual.
Leave the Great Hall and head down to the first floor, then head all the way
south to be outside, then head east and south to be back at the World Map.
Radat is all the way on the eastern side of this area, but we need to stop in
Kuskus first for a recruit.

game at the Inn before going to check it out,
then if they're not there, reload and try
again until they are. They also have chances
of having Speed Rings and Magic Robes here,
so try to get some of those if you can.

Before going to find Shu, there's an item to


be found. Head into the Tavern and talk to
the chef in the white hat at the top of the
screen to obtain [_RECIPE #14_]. Once you
have that, leave the Tavern and make your way
east, but stop up at the last house before
the next area; it's Shu's house. After going inside, Shu's assistant will get
him for you. He'll come in and tell you that he already knows why you're here,
but Apple will ask for his help anyway. He'll flat out refuse, telling us that
war is actually good for his business, regardless of who wins. Afterward,
you'll be shown out and be back outside.

to leave, asking Apple if she's lost
o-----------------------------------o
her pride as a disciple of Mathiu,
where she'll answer that HE should be ashamed, saying that she can throw away
her vainful pride for what she believes to be right. After he leaves, she asks
you to help her a little more.
Choose 2 to continue. Leave the Tavern,
then go to the southern part of town
outside of the Appraiser. You'll see a
man in a black coat; he's Richmond, and
he'll know about all three of you! He

o---------------------------------o
| [1] It's no use. Let's go back. |
| [2] Okay. You're right.
|
o---------------------------------o

will even tell you what he knows about yourselves! Impressive!


Pick either option, and he'll tell you that he's
the greatest private eye in Radat, and he'll ask
you for 1,500 potch to try to get some information
on Shu to get him to join you.

o-----------------------o
| [1] No, you're wrong. |
| [2] That's right.

out. He'll tell you to go rest at the Inn
o-----------------------------o
while he works, so make your way back to the
Inn and talk to the Innkeeper to go to sleep. Richmond will show up in the
middle of the night, telling you that it was a success! He'll tell you that
Shu has important trade tomorrow night, and it will be at the port east of
here, so if you wait at the bridge, you'll be able to run into him.
The next morning, you'll decide to head over to the bridge to wait, which
apparently Apple doesn't remember from last night! Head east to the next area
of Radat, then east across there to the port. At the bridge, Nanami will
decide to wait here. It will take a while, but eventually Shu shows up, with
Apple telling him that she's not giving up. Shu goes on about the war, about
how he'll be the one who decides what people are going to do and how they'll
die. He'll then take a coin out and toss it into the river, telling her that
if they can find that coin, he'll join your army.
Choose either option, and he'll
o---------------------------------------o
tell you that he'll keep his
| [1] What! But it's freezing out here! |

he leaves, Apple recommends
o---------------------------------------o
closing the sluice gate so they
have a better chance of finding the coin. Head to the left and talk to the guy
in the white headband above you; he'll ask what you want, telling you that you
shouldn't be hanging around this place.
Pick option 2 to ask to
o---------------------------------------------o
close the gate, where he'll

|
flat out deny you. After

trying to bargain with you,

a man called Amada will come
up, asking what the problem is. Apple will ask him once again to close the
gate, saying that it's critical for the war against Highland. He'll say he
doesn't see a connection.
Choose option 2, and he'll say that he's got a weak
spot for hard working kids like you! He says he'll
fight you for it, and if you win, he'll close the
gate for you.

o----------------------o
| [1] Forget about it. |
| [2] Please.
|

Choose option 2 again, and you'll fight Amada,

|

|
| - Better get ready. Here I go again.
|
| - He he, I'll show ya how to attack!
|

|
| - Way to go, kid!!! But I won't lose that easy!
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After taking Amada down, he'll see that you were serious, and will go ahead
and close the sluice gate, but only for one night. When you regain control, go
a little bit left and head down along the bank, where you'll start digging
through once the water level lowers. Later on, Apple will be looking through
it as she suggests that you go back to the Inn and rest.
Choose either option, as Nanami will
o-----------------------------------o
get ticked and make you help if you
| [1] I'll help too.
|
pick 2. After everyone starts looking, | [2] Okay, we'll see you later.... |
Nanami swears that she saw Shu switch
o-----------------------------------o
the coin with a rock, which is why
they'll never find it. Apple doesn't believe her and keeps looking. She'll ask
you once again to go back to the Inn, but just as they almost give up hope,
there's a glitter! You'll walk over and pick up the coin, and after the other
two look at it, Shu comes and tells you that he will keep his promise. He also
says that even though he inherited Mathiu's brain, Apple inherited his heart,
and that with him on your side, he's worth more than 100,000 soldiers!
Shu then looks at the coin, and by doing so, sees the Bright Shield Rune,
making the connection between you and Genkaku. He says they'll talk about it
after the war, since they need to worry about Solon Jhee first. He thanks you
for saving Apple, and thinks that with you and the Bright Shield Rune, they
have a chance to win this war. Shu joins your party! After looking at the coin

again, he wonders just how you found it... and you'll see Richmond flipping
his coin up on the bridge, saying another job well done...
The next morning, Apple tells us that Shu said to go on ahead, so leave Radat
and make your way back to North Window / Headquarters.

leave. After some more pep talk to the bear
and the blue-boy, he'll decide that their
current soldiers won't be enough to take on
Highland, but if they can get former South
Window soldiers to help, it may be feasible.
He'll send Freed Y to infiltrate the Highland
Army to spread the word to try and get them to switch sides.
He'll then recommend another unit attack Solon Jhee from the rear while he's
trying to surround the castle, which will shake their troops and hopefully
make them switch sides. Shu wants YOU to be the leader of this unit.
You must choose option 2 to continue the o---------------------------------o
story, so do so. The next morning,
| [1] I really don't think so.... |
Nanami will wake you up, wondering once
| [2] Okay.
|
again why they must fight, but she
o---------------------------------o
says that she'll still protect you. When
you regain control, save your game, then make your way back to the Great Hall.
You'll be informed that the Highland Army has surrounded the castle, so Shu
will ask if you're ready.
Choose option 2, and you'll enter your
fourth Major Battle! This time with the
excellent war music! GO!!!

o-----------------------------o
| [1] Just a minute.
|
| [2] Don't worry. I'm ready. |
o-----------------------------o

o--------o
o--------------------------------------------o
| s1.mb4 |
| Major Battle - Headquarters / North Window |
o--------o----------------------o--------------------------------------------o
|
|
| From here on out, Hero's unit will have your army's flag, meaning that if |
| his unit is defeated, the battle is over and you lose! Make sure to heal |
| Hero's Unit if he takes one sword's worth of damage, as the second will
|
| defeat you.
|
|
|
| Culgan mentions at the start of the battle that their flanks are exposed, |
| but since the enemy is on a peninsula, there's nothing to worry about... |
| hehehe...
|
|
|
| The first turn will be just Viktor, Flik, and Gilbert defending at HQ
|
| while the enemy approaches. On the second turn, you'll appear with a group |

| of State Army soldiers; have either Hero's group or the State Army group |
| attack Solon Jhee. Once he's been attacked, Shu's plan will come together |
| as Freed Y spreads the word that Hero is the one who can lead them to
|
| victory! Three sets of the enemy's units will then switch to your side!
|
|
|
| After that happens, just have everyone fight normally, making sure that
|
| Hero is healed. You'd probably be better off having him retreat from the |
| action to keep him from getting killed. After a few more turns of
|
| fighting, the Highland Army will retreat!
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, you'll be greeted by hundreds of your soldiers back at HQ!
Once you're back in the Great Hall, and after being congratulated some more,
Shu recommends gathering more power here at this castle, and that YOU become
the leader of this new army! He wants you to, one because of Genkaku, and two
because of the Bright Shield Rune on your right hand.
Choose either option on all three sets
of questions, and Viktor will say that
you need time to think about it, but
in the mean time, he wants to talk to
you about Genkaku at the Tavern later
tonight. Later that night, Nanami will
join you and you'll need to head down
to the Tavern to meet with Viktor, or
rest for the night. I recommend going
to the Tavern.

o-----------------------------------o
| [1] Me....a leader?
|
| [2] I don't think that...
|
o-----------------------------------o
| [1] But Luca Blight.....
|
| [2] You say 'my power', but.... |
o-----------------------------------o
| [1] But....if I can help out..... |
| [2] That 'power'.....
|
o-----------------------------------o

If you choose to walk over to your

| [2] Yeah, it's been a long day.... |
event. However, I'm going to the
o------------------------------------o
Tavern. Head down to the first floor
and make your way to the Tavern, where you'll find Viktor drinking. He'll be
glad to see you, and will tell you that Genkaku's story is a really long one,
and not a happy one either. Still wanna listen?
Choose option 1 to have Viktor start the
o------------------------------o
story. Anabelle's father, Darell, led the
| [1] I still want to hear it. |
City-State and Han Cunningham led Highland. | [2] Forget about it.
|
Highland looked as though they would win,
o------------------------------o
but that's when Genkaku appeared and helped
fight for the City-State. Genkaku and Han were friends, so over time, they
helped bring peace, but when negotiations broke down over who gets to take
Kyaro, the war started again, which led to a duel between Han and Genkaku to
see who would take it.
Genkaku refused to fight, leading Kyaro to become a Highland territory, and he
was banished from the State for refusing to fight. Years later, it was
discovered that Mayor Darell coated Genkaku's sword in poison, which is why he
didn't fight. By then, he did not want to return to the State, and was happy
raising both Hero and Nanami in Kyaro. After the story, you'll see that Nanami
fell asleep during it, so Viktor will give you some advice, and you'll carry
her to bed. The next morning, go into the Great Hall and talk to Shu. He'll
want to know if you've made up your mind.
Choose option 1 to continue the story.
Everyone pledges their strength to
you, and just as Viktor gets ready to

| [2] There's no way I can do it. |

party, Dr. Huan comes in! He survived


o-----------------------------------o
the attack at Muse, and offers to help
you! Huan joins! You'll then get to name your castle; I'll always refer to it
as Headquarters, so choose whichever name you like; I don't believe there's a
correct name for it, even in the history books of Suikoden III.
After you name your castle, Viktor will want to party again, but this time,
Leknaat appears, telling you that the Stars of Destiny are poised to gather
once again, and will give you the Stone Tablet of Promise, which will show you
the names of the Stars you have recruited so far. She also lends you the
services of her pupil, our old friend Luc! Luc will join your party as well,
then Leknaat will tell you that both you and Jowy have hard roads ahead, but
they must proceed. After she leaves, Luc's surprised to see Viktor and Flik
still alive after what happened in the last war! You'd think they would've let
SOMEONE know what happened to them!
(- NOTE -) Without you being told, Barbara has officially joined your army as
well! If you're like me, you REALLY need to unload a bunch of stuff into her
Storehouse! She's near the main entrance of the castle on the left side if you
need to see her. She's my first stop!
The next morning, make your way all the way outside to the exit; you'll see a
suspicious looking man called Fitcher hanging around. He'll ask you if this is
North Window.
Choose option 2 to continue, then he'll

ask if you if you ever met the hero that | [1] Nope. You're way off.

o---------------------------------o
audience with the leader. Make your way
| [1] He is so unbelievably cool. |
back up to the Great Hall, where Shu
| [2] Eh, he's nothing special. |
will introduce Fitcher to you. Fitcher
| [3] The hero is me.
|
tells you that he's working for the
o---------------------------------o
Mayor of Two River City, and that he's
here to ask you to forge an alliance with Two River to defeat the Highland
Army. He says that it's not a formal request, as he is asking for just
himself. Flik asks what we should do.
Choose option 2, and Fitcher will tell you

that he has no way of getting BACK to Two

|
River, so now we need to find a captain that

can use our boat to take us all to Two River. o----------------------------o
If you talk to everyone, Flik recommends
Tai Ho, and Apple suggests Amada from before. When you're done, make your way
to the Tavern and make a full party, making sure that Freed Y is in it, as
you'll need him for recruiting. After that, leave Headquarters. Our first stop
for recruiting is going to be Kuskus for our boat captain.

the southern end of town, but before exiting
to the south, go to the right, and go as far
down as you can without exiting Radat; you
should be able to go into someone's yard.
Here you will meet Yoshino, Freed Y's wife.
She's been worried about him since no one
told her about what happened. He tells her
that the fighting is more important now, so she decides to go with Freed so
she won't have to be away from him any longer! She asks you if she can join
the army too.
Choose 1 to have her join! If you
choose 2 three times, you'll have to
talk to her again and choose 1 then to

|
|
|
| - C'mon. It's your turn now.
|
| - Dammit!!! I might lose this one!!!
|
| - Damn! Dammit!!! Gotta think!!!!!
|

|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After you've handed it to him, Amada will join your party! That's it for
Radat, so leave here.
We can recruit more people in South Window, but let's go back to Headquarters
first so we can progress the story enough to where we won't have to make a

and switch Amada out with Tai Ho. After you've done that, make your way up to

convoy, and Fitcher will join your convoy as well. After you select your new
party, head down to the first floor, then go through the northern door to the
right of the stairs to the first floor; follow this path straight up as it
takes you to the port. After Tai Ho/Amada sees the boat, go over to the boat
and choose to board to be on the World Map.
Take your boat over to Kuskus, then exit Kuskus and head to South Window.

that he's still chasing Elza,
and that he thinks she fled to Lakewest. Pick 1 again to tell him your story,
and after hearing about it, he'll join your party! He will ONLY join if you
took your boat out on to the World Map.
(- NOTE -)

* CLIVE'S STORY *

I hate to state the obvious, but you must recruit Clive to continue his story.
Next, make your way to the Inn and go to the second floor. If you go into the
eastern room, you'll see Alex, Hilda, and Pete from the White Deer Inn! Talk
to Alex and he'll tell you that he and his wife have a bet going on, wondering
if you're the same person that's leading the new army. He'll be shocked to
find out the truth, then Hilda will ask if they can somehow help.
Choose 1; if you choose 2 or 3,
you'll have to talk to him again
and choose 1 anyway to be able to
recruit them. Once you do, Alex and
Hilda will both join your party!
Your castle now has both an Item
Shop and an Inn! Your Item Shop's
items will depend on the Item Shops
that you have visited so far; if
you've been to them all thus far,
you'll have all their goods!

o--------------------------------------o
| [1] Join up with us.
|
| [2] No thanks...
|

|
|
mixed up in this war...
|
o--------------------------------------o
| [1] Join our group.
|
| [2] Yes.
|
| [3] No.
|
o--------------------------------------o

Now, for the next recruit, we need a Sacrificial Jizo, a Wooden Shield, and a
Wind Rune. If you don't have a Sacrificial Jizo, take the one off of Clive or

Bolgan, or go back to Headquarters and buy one at your Item Shop (one of the
previously visited stores should've had one. You can also wait until you visit
Lakewest, they have them at that Item Shop as well.) If you don't have a
Wooden Shield, go to the Armory here and buy one. If you don't have the
Wind Rune, go to the Rune Shop and buy one. Once you have all three of these
items, go inside the building to the north-northwest of the Armory; this is
the home of Adlai the inventor. He asks what you want.
Choose either option, and he'll say he
o-------------------------------o
needs a Sacrificial Jizo. With it in hand, | [1] Would you join our group? |
talk to him again, and he'll tell you that | [2] I'm not worthy enough to |
he needed a Wooden Shield, not a
|
introduce myself.
|
Sacrificial Jizo. With that in hand, talk
o-------------------------------o
to him once again, and this time, he says
that he needs a Wind Crystal. You have a choice this time.
CHOOSE 2 to throw it at him,
o-----------------------------------o
otherwise, you'll have to do this all
| [1] Hand over the Wind Crystal
|
over again. By throwing it, Adlai says | [2] Throw the Wind Crystal at him |
that it's good to stand up for
o-----------------------------------o
yourself, and will see you at your
castle! Adlai joins! You'll automatically be back at your castle, where Adlai
has installed his greatest work... the elevator! You can now travel up and
down rather than hiking up stairs!
That's it for side jobs, but before heading to Two River, you may want to
prepare your party. I put the Blue Gate and Darkness Runes we acquired on Luc,
so he'll be our magic powerhouse for a while. Everyone else can be your own
preference; I have either Double-Beat or Fury Runes on the other three members
of my party. You may also want to head over to South Window if you think your
party needs some better armor, or to Kuskus if they need better weapons. Once
you are ready, head to your docks and take the boat, making your way north and
west to Lakewest.

Once you land in Lakewest, Fitcher will head


off to Two River to make arrangements, but
before he leaves he'll give you his
[_REFERENCE_], a letter of recommendation
that will allow you to meet with the Mayor of
Two River. Tai Ho/Amada will decide to stay
with the boat. Once you regain control, check
the basket full of vegetables that is on the
dock to your right; inside you will find the
[_KINDNESS RUNE_], an excellent weapon rune
that greatly increases your attack, and seems
to increase in power over time! I strongly
recommend keeping this on Hero for the
remainder of the game, so you should probably
head over to Kuskus to put it on him. Back in
Lakewest, if Clive's with you, make your way
to the Inn.

* CLIVE'S STORY *
(TIME MUST BE AT OR BEFORE _11:00:59_)

If Clive is with you, you can talk to the man beside the counter; he'll tell
you that Elza left a message for him. (If you're too late, the man will tell
you that you're so many days late and the trail will end there.) The note says
that she went to Forest Village west of Greenhill, so Clive's story will pick
back up there. We must reach there by _13:00:59_.
If you wish to view this event, and are past the time, but have a Gameshark,
Codebreaker, or PEC, use this code to bring your time to 10:58:00.

------Now, check in between the top-right and top-middle houses here in Lakewest.
You'll see a jar, a box, and a barrel here; check the barrel to find your
first garden item, a [_CABBAGE SEED_]. Next, head to the northwesternmost
house here in Lakewest; BEFORE talking to Taki in here, check her spice rack
at the top of the room to obtain [_RECIPE #16_]. Once she leaves, you won't be
able to get it. Now, talk to Taki several times until she asks if it was hard
to come all the way here.
Choose either option, and she'll decide
to pack up her things and meet you at
your castle! Taki joins your party!
That's it for Lakewest, so make your way
to the southwestern part of the village
to go out to the World Map.

useful runes on her since she only has two slots.

acquired into the Storehouse. Also, if you need to stock up on anything do it
now; someone's gonna steal your money the second you walk into Two River...
Feel free to explore if you want, but we'll need to go to Two River next. It's

(- NOTE -) You can find Recipe #23 in the


Rare Finds at the Item Shop in the Human
District of Two River... you'll have to wait
until you have money to buy it though. You
can always fight on the World Map for some.
Also, you can buy both the Warrior Rune and
the Wizard Rune in the Rare Finds of the Rune
Shop here; this is the only place in the game
to get them. Lastly, the Winger District's
Item Shop will have Wing Ornaments in their
Rare Finds; these will be great accessories for when you do have two Wingers
in your party, and the Kobold District has Silver Hats in their Rare Finds,
and even though you can buy these later in Tinto, they are great hats now!
A kid will bump into you the second you walk into Two River, leaving you
confused. Before doing anything else, head north into the Inn, then make your
way to the second floor. Talk to the man in the first room; he's Hans, and he
came all the way from Zexen just to open an Armory! However, Two River already
has one, so now he doesn't know what to do. Talk to him again.
Choose 1, and after telling him your
story, he'll ask how much he has to pay to
open a shop. I STRONGLY recommend choosing
1; if you choose the other two, he WILL
gather the money and pay you, but it won't
be until later in the game when he can get
it. Once you choose 1, Hans will join your
party and open an Armory at your HQ! Cool!

Head back outside the Inn, then head west and north up to assembly hall.
They'll ask you if you are allowed in.
If you choose 1, you'll go to get your

letter to find that you don't have it!

o-------------------------------o
north and follow him to the next section
of Two River. Chase the kid until you have him cornered; here, he'll tell you
he won't give your money back.
Choose either option, and he'll fly o--------------------------------------o
up and away, leaving you standing
| [1] Could you at least give me back |
still. If you like, check out the
|
my letter of introduction?
|
Item Shop in the Winger District,
| [2] You little punk, I'll kill you!! |
then head north to the next area
o--------------------------------------o
and check out the Item Shop and
Armory in the Kobold District, then make your way all the way back to assembly
hall. When you get there, you'll see one of Two River's generals, Ridley,
getting ready to hand out punishment to Fitcher for deserting while on a recon
mission!
Choose 1 to intervene, or 2 to let him have it!
It's up to you; I'll choose 1. Ridley will ask
you to show proof of who you are. Choose either
option, and you'll show him the Bright Shield

o------------------------o
| [1] Wait! Stop!
|
| [2] ...............
|
o------------------------o

Rune. You'll then be taken in to meet Lord Makai,


the plenipotentiary of Two River, with Fitcher
in your convoy. Once inside, you'll meet him.
Choose either option, then Makai will
tell you that he'd like to forge an
alliance with your army, and will also
ask about your earlier incident.

| [1] Of course I'm me! |


| [2] Well you see...... |
o------------------------o

o---------------------------------o
| [1] Glad to meet you.
|
| [2] What's a 'plenipotentiary'? |
o---------------------------------o

Pick either option again to have Makai


o--------------------------------o
tell you about how the Wingers came to
| [1] Umm... My wallet...
|
Two River, then he'll tell you to head
| [2] There's no need for worry. |
over to the New Leaf Inn to get some
o--------------------------------o
rest. Make your way to the Inn talk to
the Innkeeper, then head up to the second floor. In your room, you'll find the
boy, Chaco; he had his granny read your letter to him, and will ask if you're
the leader of your army.
Choose either option, and he'll tell you o---------------------------------o
that he ate your dinner and will fly
| [1] Yeah, that's right.
|
off! The next morning, head downstairs
| [2] I don't have to answer you. |
to have Fitcher tell you that Ridley and o---------------------------------o
Makai are fighting. Save your game, then
leave here and head to the assembly hall. Ridley will be accusing Makai of
plotting against them, so he chooses not to fight alongside the humans.
Pick either option, and Ridley will head off back to
the Kobold District, saying he needs to prepare for
the impending attack. Makai apologizes, then asks you
to go find Ridley to find out what happened, as the
Highland Army is on their way here already, and Two
River needs Ridley's his help to defeat them.

o--------------------o
| [1] .............. |
| [2] What happened? |
o--------------------o

Choose option 2 to continue. We need to head to the o----------------------o


Kobold District, so make your way to the Winger

| [2] I understand.
|
District. Kobold soldiers are on guard here, and
o----------------------o
won't let you through, so go back to the Winger
District to run into Chaco once again. This time, he'll steal Fitcher's
wallet! Chase him through the town once again, until he finally goes down into
the sewers below Two River; follow him.

leaving it there; there's a glitch in the


game that has to do with the Recipes that are
dropped by enemies, so we shouldn't give any
to our army chef (we will get him later)
until we have all 5 that are dropped.
Head east to the next area, then follow the
path to the next. You'll see a chest to your
east, so make your way over there and open it
for some [_HEAD GEAR_]. Stay on this side and
head south, east, then north to another
chest; this one has a [_RESURRECTION RUNE_].
Cross the bridge to your south, then head
west and south to the next area.

Follow the path and head down the ladder. It


may not look like it, but you're at a fork;
to the west leads to a very creepy Winger
named Sid, but there's nothing to do there
just yet, so just head south to the next
area. Follow along some more, crossing a bridge along the way, until you reach
a bridge and a chest containing a [_HEALING WIND_] scroll. Cross the bridge
and head north and west to the next area.
Move west to a fork; cross the bridge to the north first, following the path
two chests containing a [_FIRE EMBLEM_] and a [_STONE OF DEFENSE_].
Fire Emblems are one of my personal favorites of all of the accessories in
this game, due to +15 ATT; you'll be able to buy them regularly later on. Go
back to the fork and head south now, crossing the bridge and continuing to the
next screen, then following along some more, up and down a set of ladders, to
a Journeyman's Crystal.
SAVE YOUR GAME! Also, you may want to make sure your party has a combination
of Medicines/Antitoxins, as you'll need both in the following battle. Go into
the doorway to your west... where you'll find a massive, red-eyed rodent!!!

Fitcher will wonder where you are, then


Ridley will spot you, wondering what you're
doing.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] We're chasing a thief.....
|
| [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
|
o-------------------------------------------o
Choose either option, and Ridley will tell
you that they obtained a secret communique
between Makai and General Kiba of Highland,
talking of a secret treaty between Highland
and Two River. He says that he cannot trust
humans, and will then ask you to leave.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] I understand.
|
| [2] That's what the enemy wants!!!
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Pick either option again, and


you'll return to the entrance
of the Kobold District. Fitcher thinks that something's going on, so let's
head back to the Human District. Once there, you'll see Makai meeting with
General Kiba! After they finish talking, Kiba's son, Klaus will approach you,
asking you if you're the new leader, as he looks forward to meeting you in
battle. After they leave, Makai confirms that they're offering a peace treaty,
but Chaco drops in and tells them it's just an enemy plot. Makai will then
invite you back to the assembly hall to discuss your meeting with Ridley, so
go there.
After telling him what happened, Makai still believes that they're going to
have a treaty with Highland, so he dismisses Fitcher and apologizes to you for
not being able to assist your army. You'll have to stay at the Inn again for
the night since Highland is outside, but once you leave, Chaco approaches you
and tells you that his granny wants to meet you. He'll take off again, then
Fitcher mentions something about reinforcements.
Choose option 2 to have him tell you
o-----------------------------------o
that he sent a letter to Shu
| [1] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
requesting reinforcements, so at least | [2] Reinforcements?
|
we'll have that going for us. Let's go o-----------------------------------o
visit Chaco's granny, so head over to
the Winger District, then follow Chaco to her house. Susu will introduce
herself, then will tell you that Chaco will return your money and will be
punished. She then asks to see your right palm.
Choose either option, and she'll tell you that she
o-------------------o
once saw your rune shining from Genkaku's hand from
| [1] Okay.
|
afar; it was actually Genkaku who invited them to live | [2] No way, lady. |
in this new land, but shortly afterward he was
o-------------------o
banished, so they became mistreated. After asking for
your help to save their land, she'll send you on your way. You'll run into
Chaco on your way out, who still refuses to give you your wallet and will run
off. There's nothing left to do, so head back to the New Leaf Inn and talk to
the Innkeeper to rest.

The next morning, head back outside and you'll automatically run to the exit,
where you'll find Kiba here, not to sign a treaty, but to attack Two River!
The fighting will begin, and Fitcher worries since our army hasn't arrived
yet. You will have to take on a group of Highland soldiers, then afterward,
Fitcher recommends going to talk to Ridley again.
I recommend that you keep o------------------------------------------------o
choosing 1, as you'll

case, Two River looks as
| [2] There's always a chance. Always.
|
though it's about to
o------------------------------------------------o
fall, but then the
Wingers will come and attack! And after that, the Kobolds will join in! After
fighting once more group of Highland soldiers, Klaus reports that your army,
as well as volunteers from the Kobold Village to the south, have appeared!
They'll then order the retreat, leaving us victorious!
You'll then see a scene with Solon Jhee and Luca Blight; Solon Jhee has failed
him once again, so Luca will give the order to have his head cut off! Jowy
will then volunteer to take his place, telling Luca that he can take Greenhill
with only 5,000 men, not even an entire company, and that he won't fail. The
next morning, Fitcher will wake you up in bed.
Pick either one to have Fitcher tell you
o-------------------------------o
that you just passed out after the last
| [1] Huh?
|
battle. In any case, leave the Inn and
| [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
make your way to the assembly hall. After
o-------------------------------o
meeting with Makai, Ridley, Viktor, and
Shu, Fitcher will be fired, but only because he will be working with us!
Fitcher joins! Also, Ridley has joined without us being told. Viktor and Shu
will head back, so start to make your way out of town to run into Chaco once
again. He'll ask you if you're leaving.
Choose either option, and
he'll ask you if he can come
with you. Choose 1, or 3,
then 1 to have Chaco join
your party! He'll return your
money, but sadly,
he spent all of Fitcher's, so
Fitcher will go chasing after
him! You'll then
automatically be back on the
World Map.

o--------------------------------------------o
| [1] That's right.
|
| [2] I guess so.
|
o--------------------------------------------o
| [1] Sure. Okay.
|
| [2] Absolutely not!!
|
| [3] You're not going to stay in this town? |
o--------------------------------------------o
| [1] Yeah, you're right.
|
| [2] Hmm, I wonder.
|
o--------------------------------------------o

There's even more to do now than there was before, so first, let's head back
into Two River; we need to get an item, as well as buy an item we can use to
recruit someone. Go to the Winger District first and make your way back into
Chaco's granny Susu's house; she'll give you a [_SPINACH SEEDLING_] for your
garden. Next, head to the Kobold District's Item Shop and buy some Fried Tacos
that you'll need to recruit a fellow named Tetsu later on. Leave Two River to
the east, then head over to Lakewest.

If you take a look around, you should notice


that your castle has expanded! Your castle is
now level 2, meaning that is has a 4th floor,
as well as several new rooms! You'll
definitely want to take a tour around to see
where everything is. It also means that we
can recruit several more characters! First, let's get one right here in the
castle. From the dock, head out to the main room where the Stone Tablet is,
then head east from the top of the screen, and through the hall here to the
next screen. Go down here, then right past Tetsu's bath and up the stairs,
then go down into one of the two entrances to the room below you, followed by
going all the way south out to the patio. Out here, you'll meet Hai Yo, who
will ask you to hire him as the army chef.
CHOOSE 1; if you choose 2, he says that he'll
be back, but I didn't run right back into him,
so just choose 1. Hai Yo will join your party,
and your castle will now have a kitchen!

o---------------------------o
|
[1] Really?
|
| NO! [2] I don't need you. |
o---------------------------o

------(- NOTE -) With Hai Yo in your party, you'll be able to participate in


Cook-offs! This is a fun little mini-game that you should definitely take part
in, as you'll be able to acquire more Recipes. Make sure to SAVE each time
before doing so, as you won't be able to continue on with them if you lose!
Just to be safe, hold off on doing these contests for a little while,
1) because by doing some of these cook-offs, there's a chance that you won't
be able to get one of the recipes dropped by enemies in the game, 2) so you
can get more recipes, and 3) if you take on and beat Lester before completing

the McDohl side quest, he won't mention Gremio's Special Stew, and you won't
be able to get Recipe #39 from him (assuming that you loaded Suikoden data at
the beginning of the game, AND assuming that you did so with Gremio still
alive.) As for being able to make recipes to take with you, you will need to
gather Farm Animals, Seedlings, Fish (from fishing at your docks with
Yam Koo), as well as 5 different ingredients that you can buy at
Trading Posts.
When it comes to giving Hai Yo Recipes, I would keep all Recipes that you get
via an enemy drop in the Storehouse until you get all five of them; there is a
funny glitch in the game that may keep you from acquiring the other Recipes
that are dropped. These Recipes include Recipe #12, Recipe #21, Recipe #29,
Recipe #34, and Recipe #36. If you want to know more about his Recipes or the
Cook-offs, search for "Cook-offs" to find the section near the end of the
guide relating to Hai Yo.

someone from Suikoden is with you, they'll come out and talk to them too. In
any case, Hix is on his ritual journey of manhood, so they'll have to go to
the Kobold Village next to continue it. We'll catch up with them in a bit,

really wants to fight alongside Gengen. He's
okay with it right now, but as soon as you leave, Gabocha will 'sneak' into

Choose either option, then Sid will introduce

She also seems to have a 'barrel' with her,
which she'll end up explaining that she's a

people like the Highland soldiers! Also, her
uncle Juppo made Gadget (her barrel) for her,
and when she asks Gadget to beat them up, he just ignores her. After she has
failed, Gadget explains to her that he isn't a tool for fighting. She then

that's she's adventuring, then Gadget will
analyze you, telling Meg who you are. She
then decides that they'll join your army!
Pick either option once again, and both
Meg and Gadget will join your party!
Next, we have two more people to
recruit; leave here, then head to the
far northwestern corner of the area.
Before going inside, make sure Hero is at
you're ready, enter Forest Village.

* CLIVE'S STORY *
(TIME MUST BE AT OR BEFORE _13:00:59_)
If Clive is with you, and you witnessed the
event in Lakewest leading you here, he'll
tell you to come with him to find her for a
moment. (If you're too late, he'll say that
it took to long to get here, and the trail
will end.) Head all the way north, then go
north between the Trading Post and the house,

| [ ] Tony
(NP) [# 51] |
| [ ] Wakaba
(S) [# 52] |
o----------------------------o

and you will find Elza... or so it seems.


It's actually a look-alike, one who was hired
by Elza to stand there waiting for him. She
then tells him that Elza is to be heading to
Matilda next, so Clive's story will pick back up there. We must reach there by
_14:00:59_.
If you wish to view this event, and are past the time, but have a Gameshark,
Codebreaker, or PEC, use this code to bring your time to 12:58:00.

------Next, stop in at the Trading Post; talk to the old man in here on the right
and he will give you [_OLD BOOK VOL. 6_]. Also, check the Post for Sugar and
Salt for Hai Yo's kitchen; you'll be able to make better dishes with them once
you've given them to him. Go into the house beside the Trading Post now, then
go to the bottom right room and talk to the man here; he's Tony, and he works
for the mayor here. Talk to him again and he'll say that he'd like another
field to work in someday.
Choose option 1 to tell him your
o------------------------------------o
story, then the mayor will come in
| [1] Then come to (_____) Castle. |
and tell him to go with you to help
| [2] Don't worry, someday you will. |
end the war quicker. Tony joins your
o------------------------------------o
party, and with that, your castle
will have a garden! After Tony heads off, talk to the mayor here once again,
and he'll give you a [_SPINACH SEEDLING_] to give to Tony.
Head over to the outside of the Armory near the entrance of the village and
talk to the girl here; she's Wakaba, and she's looking for strong people.
Choose 1 (if you choose 3, you'll have to go
o---------------------------o
in a house, then come back out and talk to her | [1] What about me?
|
again) and you'll show her just how strong you | [2] I dunno...
|
are! If you are level 30 or higher, she'll
| [3] How 'bout that guy... |
recognize your strength, and will join your
o---------------------------o
party! Now all we have to do is find her
master, whom she says is in Matilda right now, though we won't find him until
we reach Crom. That's it for Forest Village, so let's leave here.
Now that everyone else has been recruited, let's get the last set of
characters before continuing with the story. Head to the Kobold Village south
of Two River.

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

again, then they'll head off to the Chief's


house. Before meeting up with them, head to
the Trading Post and check for either Sugar
or Mayonnaise for Hai Yo, if you don't have
them yet. Head up to the top of the village
now, and you'll see them head into the
Chief's tent so follow them inside.
They'll have explained their journey to the Chief, and he'll tell them that
they don't really do that custom anymore, and that it's very dangerous in the
forest here. He'll then invite all of you to stay the night, thinking that you
are with them. Tengaar will then mention the Warriors' Village, sparking the
Chief's interest! Later that night, Hix apologizes to you for dragging you
into his fun mess.
Choose either option, and he'll tell
o------------------------------------o
you about how his village, the
| [1] She seems really angry...
|
Warriors' Village, requires them to
| [2] What's the point of this trip? |
pass a test that allows him to become o------------------------------------o
a man, which is why Tengaar is so
excited. He has doubts about whether he can do it or not, but he doesn't want
to disappoint her. The next day, Hix will be freaking out because Tengaar
can't wake up!
Pick either option, and you'll find out
o--------------------------------o
that she has the 'Curse of the Unicorn',
| [1] What happened?
|
since she spoke too freely about the
| [2] It's too early for this... |
Unicorn Test. After 'checking' on
o--------------------------------o
Tengaar, the Chief tells Hix that they
need to find the Blue Stone, the Red Flower, and the Green Bell and take them
to the Unicorn's tree in the forest. First, he'll tell you to get the
Blue Stone, which is at the Item Shop in South Window, and Hix will ask you to
come with you.
Choose either option, and Hix will join your
party! Head out of Kobold Village and make
your way through Lakewest and Kuskus by
boat, then go to South Window.

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

When you get to the Item Shop, you'll see a Kobold run past you... Anyway,
head inside and talk to the Shopkeeper; she'll give Hix the Blue Stone that
you're looking for. That's it, so leave South Window and head back to the
Kobold Village.

Head back and talk to the Chief, and after Tengaar 'sneezes', he'll tell you
that the Red Flower is in the Cave of the Wind, so that's our next target.

Choose either option, then leave the Kobold


Village and head back to Headquarters, then
make your way south and enter the Cave of
the Wind.

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

Again, as you arrive, you'll see a Kobold leaving just as you go to enter.
Head inside anyway, and you'll find the Red Flower.
Pick either option, and all that will be
left will be the Green Bell. Leave the Cave
of the Wind, then make your way back to the
Kobold Village.

When you enter the Chief's house this time, you'll see Tengaar sitting at the
table! She'll quickly run back to bed before Hix sees her. The Chief will
comment on how quickly you retrieved the Red Flower, then will tell you that
the Green Bell is in the Two River Sewers.
Choose either option, then leave the
village once again and head to the
Winger District of Two River, then
head down into the Sewers.

o-------------------------------------o
| [1] Okay, I'll help too!

Follow the path down here for a while, past where you just recruited Sid. You
will eventually come to a corner, where you'll see a Kobold drop a bell, which
Hix hears and gets really excited!
Pick either one, then Hix will pick up
the Green Bell. Make your way back
out of the Sewers, then head back to
the Kobold Village for the last time.

When you go in the Chief's House this time,


he'll tell you that Tengaar is gone, and that
you'll have to take all three items deep into
the Unicorn Woods and fight the Unicorn to
save her. Before leaving his house, talk to
the Kobold on the far right of the screen;
he'll give you his Meat Pie recipe,
[_RECIPE #13_]. Head just outside of his
house; check the large mortar to the left of
the entrance to find an [_EXERTION RUNE_].
When you're ready, enter the Unicorn Woods.
(- NOTE -) There's something that I'm going
to ask you NOT TO DO while in the Unicorn
Woods. For the first chest that you will run
into, I'm going to advise to you NOT to open
it. All it contains is a Necklace, but if you
choose not to open it, you'll be able to
obtain another farm animal in its place later
on in the game.

(- NOTE -) The Mirage in here can drop the


Fire Emblem, and the EagleMan can drop both
Recipe #12 and the Double-Strike Rune. The
Fire Emblems are great, try to get some if
you like! You'll be able to buy them a little
later in the Highway Village. The
Double-Strike Rune will only be found one
more time in a chest later on, so you'll want
to get some of them here. As for Recipe #12, I mentioned before that there's a
funny glitch involving Recipes dropped by enemies; sometimes when you give a
Recipe to Hai Yo, you may not get one of the others to drop. These Recipes are
Recipe #12, Recipe #21, Recipe #29, Recipe #34, and Recipe #36. Tips that I
have read around the internet included just Recipe #12 and Recipe #34, but I
have had problems with Recipe #21 as well as the other two. When you get this,
make sure to just keep it in your Storehouse until you get all 5.
Head north again to the next screen, then you'll reach a fork. Do NOT go east
and north; this leads to the chest that I want you to ignore. (again, it only
contains a [_NECKLACE_]; it will be worth it if you wait until later to get
your extra farm animal.) Go west instead, following the path to the next fork.
Head west, then south to find another [_NECKLACE_], then head all the way
north past the fork we came from, then head east to another. There's another
[_NECKLACE_] at a dead-end to the north, so grab that, then go back and head
east to the next area.
Follow the path for a while to the next area, then you'll be at a fork. Take
the northern east path first to find yet another [_NECKLACE_], then take the
southern east path to the next area. Follow along to the next area, then
continue a bit more to arrive at the aforementioned tree. The Chief, Tengaar,
and some of the villagers will be waiting for you here, making Hix wonder if
this was all a ruse.
Choose either option, and Tengaar
o------------------------------------o
will apologize. The Chief tells you
| [1] This was all a ruse!?
|
that the Holy Warrior Klift who
| [2] How could you be so selfish... |
founded the Warriors' Village is a
o------------------------------------o
legend here, so he decided to help
Tengaar. He'll also say that the Test of the Unicorn is a very old fairy tale,

but that's when the Unicorn will come out and prove him wrong! Hix will then
stand up to the Unicorn, wondering if he has a chance to win, but he doesn't
care, as long as he protects Tengaar. Because he does this, the Unicorn
disappears and recognizes him as a warrior!
Back at the Chief's house, Hix says that he can finally go back to the
village, but Tengaar thinks they should join our army since we helped them.
Choose either option, and Hix and Tengaar will both join
o---------------o
your party! They'll head to your castle ahead of you, but
| [1] Of course |
before we head back there ourselves, there's one more item | [2] Well. . . |
we can get in the Unicorn Woods, so head back in. Make
o---------------o
your way all the way to the tree where the Unicorn came
out; if you check behind the tree, you should find two chests; one contains a
[_MANGOSH_], and the other has a [_GUARD RING_]. You can BARELY see one of
them on the lower right part of the branches, but if you can't, just wander
around up there looking for them.
Once you have this, you're finished here for now, so leave the village and
make your way back to Headquarters.

Make your way to the Great Hall to meet with Shu; he has something to tell
you, but will wait until tomorrow to do so. The next morning, make your way
back to the Great Hall and talk to Shu; he'll inform you that Highland has
taken Greenhill. He also tells you that Solon's replacement took it with only
5,000 soldiers, and that they must have had brilliant tactics. We can't try to
re-take Greenhill now, but we do need to rescue its Mayor, Teresa Wisemail.
Since Greenhill is a college town, Shu wants a group of college-age kids to go
there to try to rescue her, with Flik as their guardian. Choose your party,
and once you have done that, make sure they're prepare by taking them to the
Item Shop and Armory, as well as suiting them with Runes. (I'm taking Hix,
Tengaar, and Luc. Flik has Lightning and Double-Beat, Hix has Double-Beat,
Tengaar has Resurrection, and as before, Luc has Blue Gate, Wind, and
Darkness.) When you're completely ready, make your way back to your boat, then
take it to Lakewest. Head to Two River from there, then go through it to be
out on the World Map near Greenhill.
(- NOTE -) Again, don't forget about the Chick and Turtle Plans #2 dropped by
the RaggedOne if you haven't gotten it yet. The RaggedOnes won't be here
forever.
Before going to Greenhill, head to the far northwest to go back to the Forest
Village.

out! There's not much here, but you'll want


to add it to your inventory back at HQ, and
there's a chance you could get some good
armor in the Rare Finds. While you are in the
Armory, go behind the counter and talk to the
guy on the right; he will give you the Iron Hammer if you pay him 2,000 potch.
It will come in handy once we have a
Blacksmith, so go ahead and choose option
1 to obtain the [_IRON HAMMER_]. Once you
have the Iron Hammer, head back out to the

the city from the south to finally arrive at

(- NOTE -) You can find Recipe #25 in the


Rare Finds of the Item Shop here; save at the
Inn, then try and get it, reloading if
needed. Also, in the Academy's Rune Class,
you can talk to a student there to shop, and
he has a chance of having the Draining Rune
in his Rare Finds.
As you arrive, Fitcher will approach you and
give you all of the papers you'll need to
enroll in school here. He'll try to get word
to us as soon as he can about the whereabouts
to Teresa, so we'll just have to wait until
then. He also recommends coming up with fake
names; choose whichever name you like for
yourself, then for Nanami (who likes Beth),
then after everyone chooses theirs, you can
recommend one for Flik.

|
o-------------------------------------------o
Haha! Choose whatever you like (choose 3 for
old times' sake), then you can go up and talk
to the guard. Flik will give him the papers
for your enrollment, and after finally being
granted permission, you'll be inside the
city. Make your way to the Inn first, then
talk to the cook in the kitchen on the left;
she'll give you [_RECIPE #20_]. As I
mentioned above, make sure to stop by the
Item Shop, then leave and make your way
north. You'll see a Highland soldier picking
on a student. Flik wonders what to do.

Choose either option, and either way, the

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

soldier will end up in a scuffle with Flik, in


| [1] Let's save her!
|
which the soldier will end up backing down.
| [2] I didn't see a thing |
Once you regain control, head north to the next o--------------------------o
area, then continue north to the Academy. The
lady at the front desk, Emilia, will take your papers and introduce you to the
academy, and will tell you about the dorms and orientation, and that you need
to be good, since students who aren't are expelled!
Pick any option, then Emilia will show you around.
o-------------------o
Before following her, stop in at the Rune Class on
| [1] I understand. |
your right and talk to one of the students to see his
| [2] Yes, ma'am!! |
runes; you may want some Resurrection Runes (and
| [3] Eh...
|
possibly Draining Runes) while you're here. Next, go
o-------------------o
into the study room on the top-left side on the first
floor, then check the right side of the bookcase on the left side to find
[_OLD BOOK VOL. 5_]. Now, head to the top of the area and talk to Emilia
again; she'll tell you more about the school, then ask if you understand.
Choose any option again, then you'll see a man called
Shin; Emilia said that he used to be the mayor's
assistant, but Teresa has been missing since Highland
invaded. She'll ask you to go to the dorms when you're
finished. Go back to Emilia's desk to talk to her.

o------------------o
| [1] Yes, ma'am. |
| [2] Yes, ma'am!! |
| [3] Yeah.
|
o------------------o

Pick option 1, then she'll wonder


o--------------------------------------o
why you're asking; choose either
| [1] Uh, about that guy named Shin... |
option, and she'll tell you that
| [2] Um, is school really difficult? |
she noticed Flik nosing around a
| [3] You sure are beautiful.
|
lot. Choose to tell her who you
o--------------------------------------o
actually are, and she'll tell you
| [1] We're searching for Teresa...
|
that she'll help you if you can.
| [2] Uh, uh, no reason...
|
Even though you're not physically
o--------------------------------------o
told, Emilia has joined your army!
| [1] Well... actually, we're...
|
Leave the Academy to find Nina
| [2] No!! We're just regular...
|
talking to her friend about Flik
o--------------------------------------o
fighting for her, then she'll run
up to Flik, asking for his name; he doesn't say anything, but Nanami will let
his name slip, so she'll grab him and give him HER tour of the Academy! Since
he's gone, let's just head to the dorms and rest; they're just to the west of
where you are now.
Talk to the clerk to have her tell you that your rooms are ready, so head up
to the second floor to your rooms, where Nanami will ask if you want to rest.
Choose option 2 to rest up. After dinner, o--------------------------------o
Nina will approach you, checking Nanami
| [1] Let's walk around a while. |
out to see what her competition is! The
| [2] Yeah, I'm tired.
|
next morning, leave the dorms to find
o--------------------------------o
Flik cautiously waiting for you. He tells
you that he's going to try to find Shin since he thinks Shin knows where
Teresa is, and he wants you to try to find clues as well. He'll run off, then
Nina will pop up, looking for him.
Once you regain control, head east, then start to go south toward the first
part of town to run into Emilia. She'll tell you that the soldiers have been
more active this morning, so be careful. Head south to the first area, then
make your way to the Inn. The Highland soldiers have information that Teresa
is holed up in the Inn, and will fight the citizens if needed.
Choose either option, then Rowd will show

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

up, threatening to burn the Inn to the


| [1] Let's help them.
|
ground. Shin will show up as well, asking | [2] We'd be too conspicuous... |
why Rowd plans on doing such a thing, but o--------------------------------o
since the Lord Commander promised them
that no more violence will take place, they won't go as far to do such a
thing. After they search the Inn, Shin apologizes to the citizens, then runs
off again. Follow him to the northern part of town, but you'll lose him as
soon as you get there. Let's go back to the dorms and our rooms for now, where
Nanami suggests resting.
Choose 2 to rest up until dinner.
o--------------------------------------o
After dinner, Nina will run into
| [1] Let's keep looking a bit longer. |
you again, asking what Flik likes,
| [2] G'night!!
|
since she wants to make him dinner. o--------------------------------------o
After Nanami gives her some advice,
Nina will then warn you about the wandering ghost that comes out at night!
Nanami starts freaking out, asking you if there are such things as ghosts.
Hehe, pick either option, then after a
rough night's sleep, you'll regain
control. Head outside to see that Flik
is nowhere to be found, so head east,
then north into the Academy. Check the
far left once you're inside to find Nina;

o----------------------------------o
| [1] Of course not.
|
| [2] At the stroke of midnight... |
o----------------------------------o
she'll be surprised to see you.

Choose any option, then Nanami will ask her o------------------------------o


if the wandering ghost is real; of course
| [1] Uh, where is... Flik?
|
she'll tell her that it's not, but then
| [2] I dunno.
|
she'll go off on her, thinking that Nanami
| [3] I was looking for you... |
is his lover, since she said she heard Flik o------------------------------o
saying that he has someone he loves always
with him (referring to Odessa). After she leaves, Nanami is royally confused.
Pick either option again, then
o------------------------------------------o
leave the Academy to find Flik

tell Flik about what Nina said, o------------------------------------------o
then Flik tells you that he got
instructions yesterday to wait for Fitcher, so once Flik rejoins your party,
head to the southern part of Greenhill. You'll see a mob surrounding Fitcher,
calling him a traitor since he's from Muse; Flik will head down there to help
him out. After finding out that Muse and Greenhill really aren't allies any
more, Flik offers his sword to punish Fitcher, then will decide to punish him
himself! The mob will flee, allowing you to finally talk to Fitcher privately.
Fitcher tells you that Teresa cannot be found, so we'll have to find more
information. After what just happened though, Fitcher decides he won't be able
to help any further. He does tell you that the general who took Greenhill will
be back in a few days, and knows 'what time it is', so we'll need to be even
more careful. For now, let's head back to the dorms where Nina will find Flik,
and he'll just run off! Head up to your rooms now, where Nanami wonders what
they'll get to eat tonight.
Choose 2 or 3 to rest up, and once
again after dinner, Nina and Nanami
will clash once again. Choose
either option for Nina, and she'll
decide to reminisce while we all go
to bed. This time, Nanami will wake
up during the night, hearing the

o--------------------------------------o
| [1] Let's look around a bit more.
|
| [2] Should be fun.
|
| [3] Yeah, maybe you're right.
|
o--------------------------------------o
| [1] Why are you after Flik, anyway? |
| [2] Um, is there a misunderstanding? |

ghost. Go to look for it, then she


o--------------------------------------o
will run up to you and rejoin you.
You'll see it run up to the third floor, so head up there, then go far east or
far south to see the ghost run back downstairs behind you. Head down to the
first floor to see the ghost run into the basement, so follow it down there.
It looks like a dead-end down here, but if you check the lamp on the wall that
is not lit, lighting it will open a secret passage. Follow this passage all
the way to the other side, where you'll be inside the Academy. You'll see the
ghost run off again once you leave the basement room here, so head west to see
a shadow; Nanami will go all gung-ho to attack it, so you'll get the jump on
him, only to find out that it's Flik! He's been following Shin, but just lost
him. He'll rejoin, so rearrange your party for battle, then go left. Flik says
there's got to be a mechanism, so check the statue there to open another
secret passage. Head north into the Greenhill Forest.
(- NOTE -) The HollyElf can drop the Dryad Rune, if you didn't get it earlier
from the TargetGirl.
Head north to the next area, then to a fork; to the northeast is a chest with
a [_PROTECT MIST_] scroll, so grab that, then head back and go northwest to
the next area. Continue following along here to the next area, then north to
an open area. You'll find a cabin here, and Shin will come out to meet you; he
says that Teresa needs more time here, and says he'll fight you to make sure
she does.
Choose option 1, then just as
o-----------------------------------o
everything's about to break loose,
| [1] We are your allies!
|
Pilika will start crying and Teresa
| [2] We cannot forgive you, ghost! |
will come out. She asks Shin to stop,
o-----------------------------------o
then Flik will introduce themselves.
After going into her cabin, she believes that you are indeed who you say you
are, and asks why you've come to see her.
Pick option 1 (if you choose 2, you'll have
o-----------------------------o
to eventually choose 1), and Flik will tell
| [1] We've come to save you. |
her that they need her strength, but she'll
| [2] Uh...
|
say that she won't be of any help, and will
o-----------------------------o
ask you to leave. Choose either option, then | [2] Well...
|
Teresa will tell you the story of how
o-----------------------------o
Greenhill was defeated. Highland had
| [2] Actually...
|
released all of the Muse prisoners into
o-----------------------------o
Greenhill, which they thought was great at
| [1] Why is that?
|
first, but once the Highland Army arrived,
| [2] . . . . .
|
they did not attack. Instead, inside the
o-----------------------------o
city, they eventually began running low on
supplies and food, and eventually fought with each other, leading Highland to
take Greenhill without them even having to fight.
She tells us once again that she cannot help us, and will ask us to leave, so
after leaving her cabin, Flik says that we'll leave Greenhill tomorrow. The
next morning, leave the dorms, BUT BEFORE MEETING WITH FLIK, head north of him
and head into the Academy, then visit the Blacksmith. There's FINALLY someone
in here who can sharpen your weapons, so make sure to do so; you can sharpen
them to 8 here. After you're done in here, head back out and meet up with Flik
near the entry of the Academy, where he'll ask if you're ready.
Choose 1 (if you choose 2, you'll have
to come back and choose 1 to continue),
then head south to the first area of

o----------------------------------o
| [1] I'm ready.
|
| [2] Wait a minute...
|

Greenhill. Here, you'll see a gathering o----------------------------------o


of citizens, where you'll see Rowd
| [1] Okay.
|
telling them that if Teresa is
| [2] Wait just a little longer... |
captured, the person who turns her in
o----------------------------------o
will receive 20,000 potch. You'll then
see the general who took Greenhill, Jowy! He says that the parties responsible
for the unlawful investigation from yesterday are already being punished, and
that he swears on his own life that the promise will be kept, as long as
Teresa is delivered alive. Pilika will then run over to Jowy, giving us a
choice.
Choose either option, and Rowd will recognize o----------------------------o
your party! You/Nanami can ask Jowy why he's
| [1] We have to follow her! |
doing this, but before something happens,
| [2] We can't be found out! |
Fitcher causes a frenzy within the crowd,
o----------------------------o
which allows you to escape. You'll have to
| [1] Jowy... Why are you... |
fight several groups of Highland soldiers
| [2] . . . . .
|
during your escape, and Flik mentions the
o----------------------------o
front gate is going to be well guarded, so
you'll need to escape through the woods by Teresa's shack. Make your way into
the Academy, then head to the northwestern corner and examine the statue again
to go into the woods.
After Flik realizes that the commander that 'knows what time it is' was Jowy,
you'll regain control. Make your way north and northwest through the woods,
following the path all the way to Teresa's cabin. Inside, you'll find Nina
trying to persuade Teresa to escape! Flik informs Teresa of what's happening,
saying that she needs to escape now. She'll refuse, and tell you that if you
try to take her, she'll take her own life. She'll leave, then Nina says that
she can't let her go, since she cares so much about her people, and didn't
even wish ill on the Muse soldiers.
Make your way back to the northern part of Greenhill. Just as the soldiers go
to grab her, Shin will step up, not allowing them to take her, even though it
is her wish. Nanami then says we need to go help.
Choose option 1 to save her, then you'll have
o--------------------------o
to take on some Highland soldiers. After taking | [1] We have to save her! |
on a second set, Teresa keeps begging for
| [2] But...
|
everyone to stop, but that's when Nina and the
o--------------------------o
townspeople come, saying that they believe in
her, and want her to escape so she can come back someday and re-take her city!
Once you escape to the forest, head north and follow the path, battling
Highland soldiers along the way. Once you reach Shin again, Rowd will catch up
with you. Shin will step up once again to fight Rowd, since his loyalties lie
with Teresa, not just the house of Wisemail, allowing you to escape with her
safely.
Once you regain control in this new part of the forest, head north to the next
area, then continue to a fork. Open the chest to your southeast for some
[_TOE SHOES_], then go back and head east to another fork. Head north here,
where you'll find a [_SILVER HAT_], then head back and go southeast and east
to the next area. Head east, then south, and after the path turns southeast,
you'll be at a fork. To the northeast is the last treasure here, a
[_CHIMERA RUNE_]. Head south to the next area, where you'll take a moment to
find your bearings, then Pilika will find Jowy waiting for you.
Choose either option, then Jowy will advise you
to relinquish leadership of your army and run
away, since the victor in this war is already

o--------------------------o
| [1] Jowy, why are you... |
| [2] . . . . .
|

decided. He also tells you that he won't allow


o--------------------------o
Luca to have is way with Highland and the
City-State, telling you that you do not have a reason to fight.
Pick either option again, then Pilika will
start crying, and Jowy will tell you to start
running, since pursuers are starting to come.
Nanami can't believe what all is happening,
and that Jowy can't be following orders from
Luca Blight.

o----------------------------o
| [1] I can't just run away. |
| [2] . . . . .
|
o----------------------------o

You can either choose 2 three times, or choose 1


o-----------------------o
once to move on. (I'd choose 2 three times; it
| [1] Let's go, Nanami. |
seems more dramatic with Flik dragging Nanami away | [2] . . . . .
|
while you and Jowy stand there alone, before he
o-----------------------o
tells you to go on.) Once you regain control, head
south, following the path all the way to the exit. Back with Jowy, Rowd
catches up to him, saying that you came this way. When Jowy denies it, Rowd
says that one of his men saw him come this way, and that Luca asked him to
keep an eye on Jowy. Luckily, Seed and Culgan come in, telling Rowd that they
were here too and didn't see anything, then will send Rowd back to Greenhill
to attend to the riots there. Seed and Culgan then pledge their loyalty to
Jowy, saying that they love Highland, and that Luca Blight only wants nothing
but ruin.
Out here on the World Map, if you haven't gotten Turtle Plans #2 or the Chick
yet from the RaggedOnes, do so now. When you're ready, head to Two River for
our next recruit.

That's it for Kobold Village, so let's leave it and head back to Headquarters.

Make your way to the Great Hall to meet with


Shu; he'll welcome Teresa, then just as she
leaves to have some time to herself, Shin
will enter! She's glad to see that he's safe,
but he's not the only one who came back...
Nina will run in as well! She says that she
needs to be with Flik, then will drag him off
to eat the soup she made! In any case, Shu
recommends getting some rest. Also, without you being told, Teresa, Shin, and
Nina have all joined your army!
That night, if you attempt to leave the room, Nanami will shove you back in
and tell you to go to sleep, so head to bed. In Highland, Luca will be
impressed with how Jowy took Greenhill, so he'll keep his word and grant Jowy
whatever he wants. He asks Luca for Jillia's hand in marriage, making Luca
want to remove his head from his shoulders with his blade, but Jowy also tells
him that he has another idea, so he'll talk to Luca about it later.
Nanami wakes you up the next morning, so make your way to the Great Hall when
you regain control. After Flik runs in, complaining that Nina took his bandana
and washed it so he couldn't find it, Shu will tell you that you need to forge
another alliance, and since South Window, Muse, Greenhill, and Tinto are
unavailable to help us, we must go to the Knightdom of Matilda to try to get
their help. He'll ask you if you agree.
Choose either option, then Shu will ask you to
form a party to go to Matilda. Clive's next
event is in Matilda, so if that's still

| [1] Yeah...

available to you, bring him with you. (I'm


o---------------------------o
taking Flik, Viktor, Clive, Nanami, and Luc.)
If you choose not to take Nanami, she'll stop you as you leave, saying she's
going.
If you choose 2 three times, she'll join your
convoy, otherwise, she'll just join your party.
Once she's in your convoy, you won't be able to
use her until later on, so I'd put her in.

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

(- NOTE -) If your Storehouse is getting full, you should pass on any Farm
Animals, Seedlings, and Old Books to Yuzu, Tony, and Emilia, respectively, and
if you have a lot of rare runes you're holding onto, you may want to put them
on random party members you won't use to make room. Remember to leave the
Recipes dropped by enemies in the Storehouse until you have all five.
(Recipe #12, Recipe #21, Recipe #29, Recipe #34, and Recipe #36.)
(- NOTE -) The Blacksmith in Kuskus can now sharpen your weapons to level 11,
so you may want to make a trip over there.
There's actually no one extra to recruit right now, so prepare your party at
the Armory, Item Shop, and Rune Shop, then leave Headquarters and make your
way to the Greenhill area through Lakewest and Two River. Once you're there,
head north of Greenhill to the Path to Matilda.

Choose either option, then head up to have
the guards let you pass into the forest. Once
you enter, head north to find a man called
Badeaux; you can't recruit him yet, so ignore
him, but head east and north of him all the
way to a chest containing a [_GUARD RING_].
Head west from there, then north to the next
area. Continue heading north along the path
to the next area as well, then take a few
steps north; you should see a chest to the
northwest, so navigate through the trees to
your west until you can open it; it contains
a [_MEGA MEDICINE_].

Just to the east is a fork; head north, then east on the raised area here

until you reach a chest containing a [_DRAGON ARMOR_]. Go back down to the
fork and head east now, and you'll run into our old friend Viki! She seems to
have teleported herself off somewhere once again, and she asks if she could
stay with you for a while.
Choose 1 or 2 to recruit her (if
you choose 3, you'll have to come
back through this forest after you
leave Rockaxe to have her pop back
up.) Viki joins your party! She
then asks if she should go ahead
or go with us.

o--------------------------------------o
| [1] Uh... sure, okay.
|
| [2] A cute girl like you? Of course. |
| [3] Absolutely not!!
|
o--------------------------------------o

If you choose 2, she'll go on ahead of you,

but if you choose 1, she'll join your party,

then teleport you BACK to Headquarters! If you | [2] Go on ahead.

need to do anything at HQ, you may want to do
o---------------------------o
so, as you can talk to her and she can
teleport you back to this forest once you're done. In any case, head east to
the next area, and you'll be welcomed by Miklotov, the captain of the Blue
Knights of Matilda! He'll escort you to Rockaxe Castle.

Once you enter the actual castle, head north
into his room to meet with Gorudo, leader of
Matilda; he sees you, commenting that you're
just a little boy, and that you beating the
Highland Army must be exaggerations!

Choose either option, then he'll say o-------------------------------------o


that the Muse Army were pathetic

| [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
Matilda's reinforcements even

and he'll tell you that you're just

futilely battling Highland, and will o-------------------------------------o
probably meet the same fate. He'll
have you escorted out, since he is finished with you. No alliance, I guess.
Once you're in your room, Nanami suggests going to sleep.
There's nothing to do, so just choose
o-----------------------------------o
1. During the night, Leknaat will come | [1] Let's get some sleep.
|
and visit once again, telling you that | [2] Let's look around a bit more. |
you mustn't turn your back on the

fight, as so many hopes and dreams
rest within you, and that your rune will guide you to the final battle. The
next morning, head north out of the room and down the stairs, then go to the
main room, where you'll see Miklotov run in. Go in to find out that Muse
refugees are trying to get to Matilda, and the Highland Army is pursuing them.
They'll mobilize their troops, then Camus will ask what you intend to do.

If I were you, I'd choose option 3; that way, you


won't have to partake in the upcoming major
battle. There's nothing you can do in the next
battle anyway. After you choose, the next battle
will start.

Back in Rockaxe, Camus, Miklotov, and Gorudo will leave, and you'll regain
control. Head south to find Miklotov livid, saying that he has to see what
they're doing in Muse, and will take off. Camus can't go because of Gorudo,
but he will ask you to protect Miklotov. Leave the castle, then head down the
stairs to the second part of Rockaxe. Check out the Appraiser's shop first;
go into its back room and check the cabinet in the northeastern corner to find
a [_VIOLENCE RUNE_]. Once you have that, leave the Appraiser, then head out
the southwestern corner of the area to be back in the first part of Rockaxe.
You'll see Miklotov telling his troops that they can't go with him, then he'll
take off.

will tell you that she was going to Radat next, so Clive's story will pick
back up there. We must reach there by _15:00:59_.

Thunder God Garbs at the Armory if you can), then once you're ready, head out
to the World Map.
(- NOTE -) The Down Rune found here in Rockaxe is about one of the best Weapon
Runes you can have on a normal fighter; scoring a Knockdown on an enemy
prevents them from attacking for a short period of time, and that short period
can sometimes make or break battles!

Kent asks him about his life as a Dragon Knight, which he's not allowed to

to him mom, the same scale that once belonged to his dragon, Black, who died
protecting him. But now, he and Humphrey are looking for a new dragon so he
can go back, and Kent asks him if Futch will let him fly once he becomes a
Dragon Knight again, to which Futch will agree. Back at the Inn, it's a lively
conversation with Humphrey.
Over the next three sets of
questions, choose any option you
like, and after the last set,
Humphrey will leave, and the
Innkeeper will tell you that he had

o--------------------------------------o
| [1] So, uh... Where are you from?
|
| [2] Weather sure is nice today, huh? |
| [3] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
o--------------------------------------o

a nice chat with you, and paid for


you to stay here tonight! The next
morning, talk to Humphrey, and
choose either option, then leave
the Inn. Head south just a bit, and
you'll see a villager telling Kent
that he heard there was a dragon on
Rakutei Mountain! Kent will then
run off to go find it. Go back into
the Inn and talk to Humphrey again
he wonders if Kent left.

| [1] Where are you going?


|
| [2] My, what a big sword!
|
| [3] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
o--------------------------------------o
| [1] Why Harmonia?
|
| [2] Think it'll be nice tomorrow?
|

o--------------------------------------o
| [1] Thank you for last night.
|
| [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
o--------------------------------------o

Choose either option again, and Futch will


o-----------------------------o
come in, wondering where he is, then will go | [1] I'm a little worried... |
to bed and see if he can find him tomorrow.
| [2] Yeah... Let's go.
|
Talk to the Innkeeper again, and you'll rest o-----------------------------o
until the next day. Head downstairs to find
the townspeople up in arms since he didn't come home last night.
Choose either option to learn from
the guy that told Kent about the
dragon that he went to Rakutei
Mountain. Futch blames himself,
since he told Kent that he'd give
him a ride if he got a new dragon, so

o-------------------------------------o
| [1] Um... That kid...
|
| [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
o-------------------------------------o
Humphrey says they should go save him.

Choose 1, because if you choose 2,

Mountain and meet up with them again | [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
to be able to continue. Futch and
o-------------------------------------o
Humphrey will then join your party,
so make room for them. (sorry Flik and Viktor...) I'd head to the Item Shop
and equip them with Fire Emblems, since that's all you can change on them.
Once you're ready, save your game, then leave Highway Village and head all the
way north to Rakutei Mountain.

don't think you can get this one anywhere
else, so you'll want to get some ? vases,
then go back to Highway Village and appraise
them until you get one. If you're trying to
get all items, then you'll need this one.
Head north a bit to have the mist be cleared
up by the Bright Shield Rune, then head north
two screens, where you'll end up at a fork.
Go northwest first to find a [_FUR CAPE_],
then go back and head northeast to another
fork. Just to your east is a

go back and head north to the next area.


You'll be at another fork, so head northeast
first, following it to the next area, which
is a dead-end with a [_THUNDER AMULET_]. Go
back to the previous fork on the last screen,
then head northwest and north to the next
area. Again, you'll be at a fork, so head
northwest this time, following the winding
path to a dead-end with a [_STONE OF POWER_].
Head back to the fork and go northeast to the
next area, where you'll be at yet another
fork. Head east/southeast as far as you can,
and you should end up finding a chest
containing [_UNICORN PLANS #2_].

Go back from that chest just a bit to be at a


somewhat open area/fork. Head north, then all
the way east from here to go to a new area,
which is a dead-end with a [_SKILL RING_]. Go
back to the last area, then turn north at
your first opportunity to be at yet another
fork. First, grab the [_MEDICINE RUNE_] to
your northeast, then head northwest,
continuing all the way west/northwest to find another chest; this one has
[_DRAGON PLANS #2_] inside. Head just a bit east, turning south when you can,
and at the fork you'll find [_2000 POTCH_] on the right.
All that's left to do is to find Kent, so you may want to level up a bit
before attempting this next boss; it's tough! When you're ready, go to the
northernmost part of this area, then head all the way east to the next area,
then continue northeast to the next area, then north to the next, where you'll
find a Journeyman's Crystal to your west. Use it, then head north to find Kent
lying on the ground. You'll then be attacked by the Harpy.

|
| As I said before, this boss is TOUGH! It's single attacks hit for a decent |

| make matters worse, it will also attack twice per round! Make sure you
|
| have Hero heal every round, starting with Battle Oath (hopefully
|

|
| cast the strongest spells on his Darkness and/or Blue Gate Rune (if he
|

| have Futch and Humphrey in our party, they aren't really customized to our |

| to stay healed.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, Futch tells Kent that the dragon rumor is bull, but Kent
says that he actually heard the dragon! He says he's okay now though.
Choose either one, but if you choose 1, Kent
will tell you that he prayed on Black's scale
and the mist lifted for him! He's positive
there's a dragon here, so Humphrey will decide
that they should look. Head north when you

o---------------------------o
| [1] How did you get here? |
| [2] Let's hurry back.
|
o---------------------------o

regain control, and you'll find a big dragon egg! Dragons are only supposed to
lay eggs in Dragon Caves, but every once in a while, a wild dragon can appear
and lay one. Futch says that he really doesn't even want a new dragon, that
Black was the only dragon for him. Humphrey then approaches the egg with his
sword, saying that Futch doesn't need the egg or the dragon.
Choose either option, and Humphrey will
o-----------------------------o
explain why it has to be done. Before he
| [1] What!? WHY?
|
does anything, Futch will stop him; just as
| [2] ...Maybe that's best... |
he does, the egg hatches! It's a tiny white
o-----------------------------o
dragon, and Humphrey has never seen a white
one before. Futch then says he'll have fond memories of Black, but he has to
keep his door to the future open, so he'll take this dragon and christen him
'Bright'! At the entrance, Humphrey asks if there's anything they can do for
you.
If you choose 1, you'll have to go
back to Highway Village and talk to
Humphrey there to recruit them, so
just choose 1 to ask them to help.

Everyone will say their goodbyes back at


Highway Village, where Futch gives Black's
scale to Kent as a promise that he'll one day
return as a Dragon Knight! Now both Humphrey
and Futch will officially join your army!
Before you leave though, go into Kent's
house, the one between the Inn and Item Shop.
If you talk to his mom, she'll now give you
[_RECIPE #32_] That's it for this here, so
leave Highway Village.

We need to head to the Muse-Matilda Border next, but if you don't like having
Futch and Humphrey in your party, you may want to go back to HQ. There are no
bosses or anything in the next section, so I'm just going to continue on. You
can now put armor on them so you may want to go to Rockaxe to do that. In any
case, once you're ready, head to the Muse-Matilda Border.

You'll run into Miklotov here, who thinks that he needs to travel with you,
since they know his face here.
Choose option 2 to continue, and he'll join you; I'd choose
to have him join your convoy. Head south through the gate,
to have the guards warn you about what's going on, then
Miklotov will be discovered.

o--------------o
| [1] I can't. |

Choose either option, as Camus let them know already


that Miklotov would be coming through, so they won't

so make the most of it now. The WhiteTiger can drop the Double-Beat Rune, so
if you need more of them, take the time now to do so. You can rest at Coronet
if you start to get low on HP/MP.
Once you're ready, head to the entrance of Muse. Just as you're about to
enter, you'll see a movie of some bizarre ritual going on, with a huge silver
wolf appearing above Muse! You'll see Luca and Jowy in Muse, with Luca
watching everyone's souls being sucked into oblivion with pleasure. Back with
you, you'll regain control on the World Map, so enter Muse.

When you enter the city, Miklotov says that


there's no signs of life. Head to the
northwestern corner, as if you're going to
Jowston Hill, and a man will run in followed
by a Highland soldier. After fighting that
group off, the man will tell you that his
whole family was eaten alive by a sliver
monster. After he passes, Miklotov says that
he wants to go back to Rockaxe and get reinforcements to fight Luca. After you
regain control, fight around in the city a bit to level up a bit, then when
you're done, leave Muse and head back to the Muse-Matilda Border. After some
discussion there, head back to Rockaxe.

Back in Rockaxe, Miklotov says that Gorudo


should understand when we inform him of what
happened, so head to the northwestern part
of this area to get to the northern part of
Rockaxe, then enter Rockaxe Castle to the
north beside the Appraiser.

You'll run into Camus when you first enter, then Miklotov will run in to talk

to Gorudo. Head inside, and he will inform Gorudo of what Luca is doing, and
to let him take some knights to Muse. Gorudo refuses, asking if Miklotov saw
the massacre he's talking about with his own eyes, and since he didn't, Gorudo
has no reason to act. Miklotov will then tear off his emblem, saying that he
is a human first and a knight second, resigning from the knights. Gorudo
orders Camus to arrest him, but he too will tear off his emblem, since he can
not obey. Both Miklotov and Camus will then officially join your army!
Afterward, all of the Blue and Red Knights in the room will break their oaths
as well so they can join you!
Gorudo will then leave, and Miklotov says that it's not safe to stay in
Rockaxe any longer, so once they start to leave, Camus says he'll stay behind
for a bit to try to rally some more troops to go with them. Miklotov will
join again; throw him in your convoy for now. You'll then escape to the Path
to Matilda on the way to Greenhill. Here, you'll run into Shu, who has come to
escort you back, and Camus will soon follow along with about half of the Red
and Blue Knights! Afterward, you'll automatically be back at Headquarters.

Head to the Great Hall to have Shu tell you that the Highland Army is going to
come at them again, so we'll need to rest tonight. That night, head to the
third floor and enter your room to find Pilika, who missed us while we were
gone. The scene will switch to Highland, where Luca says that some of their
army is more loyal to King Agares than to Luca himself, but Jowy has a plan
to solve that as well, and introduces Leon Silverberg to Luca.
The next morning, make your way to the Great Hall again to find Nanami
waiting. Enter the Great Hall to have Shu tell you that Highland is in Radat
now, so he'll send you and Viktor to go check out the situation. Before
leaving, head to the Tavern and form a party if you like, then talk to Viki
and have her teleport you to Radat.

telling the Radat citizens that the rumors of a

name of the King that nothing like that happened. Afterward, Klaus will spot
you again.
Choose either option, but if you choose 2, Klaus
will approach you and tell you that Jowy is getting
married to Jillia Blight at L'Renouille, and that
even though Klaus lost to you at Two River, he's
ready this time. After he leaves, it's time to head

|
|
| In this battle, do whatever you like. On your second turn, Ridley
|
| questions Shu's decision of putting the Kobold Units on the front lines. |
| After a couple more turns, Ridley decides that he and the Kobold Units
|
| are going to retreat, since he can't trust the humans with their lives.
|
| After that, Rowd's group will start to attack as well, so try to avoid
|
| battles and keep healed until Shu orders the retreat.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, Shu will ask everyone to get some rest while he determines a
strategy to weaken Kiba. There's nothing else to do right now, so head to the
third floor and go to your room; Eilie will be there waiting for you, telling
you that she heard about the battle, but to not worry about it, since the last
one standing wins.
In Highland, you'll see the wedding between Jillia and Jowy going on. After
Agares gives his blessing, Jillia will leave, and Jowy will give his blood
oath to Agares... except his blood is laced with poison, so when Agares drinks
it, he will collapse! Luca tells him that he was hard to get to, but he's
finally rid of the last obstacle in his plan. Jowy will collapse as well,
while Luca congratulates him on his brilliant idea of drinking antitoxin
daily, then poisoning his own blood! Agares will die, but Jowy will live to
see another day.
Back at Headquarters, someone will wake you up. When you regain control, head
over to the Great Hall; Shu will describe his plan to you, and will ask you
to deploy.
Choose 1 to have him wait a minute, then talk to
Apple to rearrange your units. Send everyone to
the reserve, then move your cursor down past the
setup to set your units up as follows:
Having the Heavy Armor ability
on a unit allows you to take a

o--------o
o--------------------------------o
| s1.mb7 |
| Major Battle - Battle vs. Kiba |
o--------o----------------------------------o--------------------------------o
|
|
| This is the first battle where you can actually control EVERYONE! At the |
| start of the battle, Klaus notices Shu's strategy and tells Kiba to just |
| head straight in and attack your unit. Until all of your reinforcements
|
| arrive, keep choosing to wait. Once they have arrived, have Teresa's and |
| Luc's units use the Bombard ability and Wind/Lightning Runes from afar on |
| the other units, NOT Kiba's unit, have Flik use Tsai's Fire Spear on the |
| other units as well (as many as he can target), then have everyone else
|
| just attack. If the options are still available, keep repeating them.
|
| After a couple more turns, it will look like Kiba's about to prevail,
|
| then Ridley and the Two River will appear on their flanks! From here,
|
| it's just a matter of taking out enough Highland groups to have Kiba and |
| Klaus notice that they're getting slaughtered. At this point, he asks for |
| help from the 4th company, but Leon Silverberg comes in and tells them
|
| that King Luca has ordered them to retreat, leaving Kiba and Klaus no
|
| choice but to surrender.

| rather die than to join the enemy and
o----------------------------o disgrace himself.
Even if you wanted them dead, you
can't, so choose option 2 until a
messenger brings a letter from Leon
Silverberg. Klaus tells his father
that Luca killed Agares and became
King, and because of what's happened,
both Kiba and Klaus will decide to join

o------------------------------------o
| [1] Cut off their heads.
|
| [2] General Kiba, join forces with |
|
us. We need your strength.
|
o------------------------------------o
your party!

(- NOTE -) Now that Kiba has joined your army, you need to go talk to Richmond
and have him do investigations on Ridley (3), Kiba (4), and Nanami (4). You
won't have a chance to do this later in the game, so try to get them out of
the way as soon as you can, Ridley first, Kiba second, and Nanami last.
The next morning, make your way to the ground entrance of the castle, where
you'll find a girl looking for some 'jerk', and after she leaves, you'll see
Sheena appear, then run off to see Viktor. Make your way back up to the Great
Hall to have Shu chide you for not letting them know where you went, then will
proceed to tell you that you still need more allies. Greenhill is still
occupied, Matilda won't help, and Tinto is ignoring us, so our old friend
Sheena will come in, suggesting that we contact his old man for help!
Ridley will try to drag him off, but Apple will tell him to wait, and Sheena

will tell him that his dad, Lepant, is the president of the Toran Republic!
You'll get a quick history run-down of the Toran Republic, and Shu thinks that
they should ally with them. Freed Y gets all bent out of shape, saying that
they're still an enemy of the State, but Sheena tries to convince him that
that's the reason why the Scarlet Moon Empire was destroyed and the Toran
Republic was established. Shu will ask what you think.
Choose option 2 to continue, then
o-----------------------------------o
Freed Y will recommend taking a boat
| [1] Let's consider other options. |
from Radat to get there, but doesn't
| [2] Let's form an alliance.
|
want to go along with it. Shu yells at o-----------------------------------o
him for being so stubborn, saying that
South Window might be destroyed if they don't ally with them. Freed will then
change his mind, and will accompany you as a guide. Sheena will also join you;
once again, I'm going to put him in my convoy, but the choice is up to you, as
he is a really good fighter as well. Afterward, choose the remainder of your
party, then leave the Great Hall. (Clive's next event is in Radat, so be sure
to take him with you if you can.) As you leave, Freed asks you to stop in
South Window before going, so let's do that. Once your party is prepared, have
Viki teleport you to South Window. (If you need to sharpen your weapons, go to
Kuskus and do that first, THEN go to South Window.)
(- NOTE -) After leaving your castle and returning, you should notice that it
is now level 3, as long as you have recruited everyone I've mentioned so far;
you can now have the 3rd level of bath here, and there are also five floors to
your castle now, with your bedroom on the fifth floor. There are also several
new/different areas, so make sure to check them out. Also, it is CRUCIAL that
you leave and come right back to see this change; we'll be recruiting people
in Gregminster and on the way back from there, and we must have witnessed the
change to a level 3 castle to be able to recruit them. There are also more
characters we can recruit right now, but we'll get a very handy tool in
Gregminster that will allow us to do so much quicker and much easier, so we'll
do that later!
(- NOTE -) Also, along the same lines as above, there's a character that we're
going to try to recruit in Gregminster, but only if our castle is level 3.
This guy is easily the most annoying character in Suikoden history to recruit,
as you need to get 50,000 potch worth of profit by way of the Trading Post
before he will join you. I, for one, hate trading. So I always go a second
route; Celadon Urns. They are one of the highest selling items in Gregminster,
so we need to get at least 3, possibly 4 of them. (2, possibly 3 for actual
trading, 1 to recruit a character BEFORE going to Gregminster.) You can get
them one of two ways; 1) I find it extremely easy to win them at the
Rope Climbing game just north of Hai Yo's kitchen. Just talk to the soldier
here, and wait for the Celadon Urn to show up at a prize for the (Army) League
(the most expensive league.) I find this game fairly easy to win, and within a
few minutes, you should have a few Celadon Urns. 2) The Flyers around South
Window can drop them; if you seem to have better luck that way, try it.
(Sometimes it only takes 2 Celadon Urns in Gregminster, sometimes it can take
3 or 4, depending on the price at Gregminster. You can save at the Inn there,
then check the Trading Post, and if it's not to your liking, reload to have it
change.) All in all, try to get at least 2 of the Celadon Urns to take with
you to Gregminster.

The only thing you need to do here in South Window is to head toward the city
hall. Once you're there, Freed Y will reminisce for a few moments, then you'll
regain control. Make sure to check out the Armory here now; they have much
better equipment than what they used to since you've returned from Matilda!
You can buy both Magic Robes and Dragon Armor here now!!! (For some reason,
even once you visit here, it doesn't show up at your HQ Armory just yet...)
Also, at the Rune Shop, you can buy Fire, Earth, and Darkness Runes that were
not here before. Once you're done here, leave South Window, then head east to
Radat.
(- NOTE -) If you haven't seen your castle change to level 3, go back and do
so now! We need to do that so we can recruit people in Gregminster.

* CLIVE'S STORY *
(TIME MUST BE AT OR BEFORE _15:00:59_)

Go to the Pub and Clive will ask about Elza.


(If you're too late, the guy will tell you that she was here so many days ago,
and the trail will end there.) He says that she's sitting right over there;
Elza will finally meet Clive once again, and Clive is ready to execute her.
They'll talk back and forth a few times, but in the end, both draw their guns,
with Clive getting shot twice. Elza then leaves him there.
You'll then be at Headquarters, when Dr. Huan is working on Clive, and he's
lucky to be alive! You're not told where the next event is going to take
place, but luckily there's no time limit for this one... although the last
event must be reached by _20:00:59_. Clive's story will pick back up in Muse,
after we liberate Rockaxe, so it'll be a while.
If you wish to view this event, and are past the time, but have a Gameshark,
Codebreaker, or PEC, use this code to bring your time to 14:58:00.

to get all three; the Rose Brooch will be
used to recruit someone once we return. You
can also find a Full Plate here, but only a
few characters can equip it; Miklotov is the
only one right now.

When you arrive, check the set of three


barrels next to the Item Shop; the lowest one
has an [_ALERT RUNE_] inside. Next, go into
the house to the right of the Inn; the lady
in here will give you a [_SEED POTATO_]. Now,
BEFORE continuing into the forest, make sure that you have both one
Celadon Urn and one Rose Brooch in your inventory. (The Rose Brooch is in the
Rare Finds here as I mentioned above; the Celadon Urn can be dropped by the
Flyer outside of Radat OR by winning 1st Prize at the highest level of the
Rope Climbing game at your castle above Hai Yo's kitchen.) Once you have both
of these, take the boat back to Radat.

(- NOTE -) The Tiger in the forest here can


drop Window Set #1, RinRin can drop the
Barrier Rune, and TenTen can drop
Ninja Suits. This is the only place to get
the Barrier Rune, and the only other place to
get Ninja Suits is in the Rope-Climbing Game
in your castle. Regarding Window Set #1,
there sometimes is a glitch between Window
Sets #1 and #2, so get this one immediately.
Make sure to get Window Set #2 immediately
when you get to it as well, since you can get
both before recruiting the window maker.
Head north and northeast to a fork; go north
first, following the path to a
[_MEGA MEDICINE_], then go back and head east
to the next area. Continue along the path to
another fork; you'll want to go northeast
first, as it'll take you to a
[_FULL HELMET_]. Head south now, then east to
an area that has several ladders. Go up the
westernmost one first so you can get to a
chest containing a [_STONE OF LUCK_], then
head back down and take the eastern one up.
For the first ladder fork, take the western
ladder to the second ladder fork. Go up the
eastern one first to find a
[_WING ORNAMENT_], then go back down and take
the western one up to a plateau. Go down the
ladder to your west to find another chest;
this one contains a [_MAGIC RING_].

Make your way back to the first ladder fork now and take the eastern ladder
up. Get the [_POISON RUNE_] out of the chest here, then go up this ladder and
continue along the path to the next area. Go north, and just as you start
heading east, look to your south for a hidden area under the trees; once you
pass through, it will lead you to the hidden ninja town of Rokkaku, but once
you enter, you'll be immediately kicked out. We'll come back here in a bit.
Back at the fork with the hidden path, continue east to the next area, then
follow this winding path to the next area.
You'll be standing at a fork; you can see a Journeyman's Crystal to your east,
but before using it, take the northeastern path to a [_SILVER SHIELD_], then
take the southeastern path to the [_SILVERLET_]. Use the Journeyman's Crystal
now, the head east to the next area, where you will encounter the boss here.

You'll be in the palace in Gregminster,


waiting to see Lepant. After a few moments,
you'll then be taken in to see him, where he
asks what you would like to discuss.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Forging an State with you.
|
| [2] Um...
|
o-------------------------------------------o
(Whoever was in charge of changing names
obviously used the Find/Replace function to
change all/most instances of the word
'alliance' with the word 'state'....) Choose
option 1, and Freed Y will explain the
situation. He will then ask why you continue
to fight.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] To defeat Luca Blight...
|
| [2] To put an end to this war...
|
| [3] I don't know...
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Choose any option, and Lepant tells you that


you remind him of the Hero of the Gate Rune
War, Young Master McDohl. He then asks Tesla
how many soldiers are ready to be deployed,
to which he'll reply 5,000. After some discussion between them, Lepant offers
one of two generals to lead these soldiers, so he will have both Valeria and
Kasumi enter. You'll will get to choose.
Choose option 3 to have Sheena offer to
see his notes, then choose whichever
options you like to see both Valeria's and
Kasumi's notes. For recruiting purposes, I

o-------------------------------o
| [1] Valeria, please...
|
| [2] Kasumi, please...
|
| [3] Uh... Give me a minute... |

strongly recommend recruiting Kasumi, as


it will allow you to visit Rokkaku on the
way back from Gregminster (given that your
castle is level 3, and you witnessed the
change to level 3 by going back after you
last left it), and you'll be able to
recruit more people sooner than later. That,

o-------------------------------o
| [1] See Valeria's notes.
|
| [2] See Kasumi's notes.
|
| [3] Never mind.
|
o-------------------------------o
and I like ninjas; they're fast!

After you've chosen, Lepant will then give you the [_BLINKING MIRROR_], which
will allow you to teleport back to your Headquarters on the World Map! Sweet!
Sheena says that he'll stay here, but Lepant will grab him and ask you to take
his idiot son with you, making Sheena join your party as well! Put them in
your convoy (or your party, whatever you like. You'll still be able to get
those recruits with Kasumi in your convoy), then you'll be back at the border.
Before going anywhere, talk to Varkas again to go back to Gregminster.
(- NOTE -) You can buy Recipe #28 and Winged Boots in the Rare Finds of the
Item Shop here, you can also get the Mangosh in the Rare Finds of the Armory,
and lastly, you can find both the Mother Earth Rune and the Flowing Rune in
the Rare Finds of the Rune Shop here. All of these items are must haves!
Head north into the palace first, then go into the room on the right and talk
to the soldier to obtain the [_COPPER HAMMER_]. Next, head just a bit north,
then check the room on the left; [_OLD BOOK VOL. 7_] will be on the bookshelf
in here.
Head back to the city of Gregminster, then head down to the golden statue,
then left from there. You'll run into our old friend, Lorelai! She'll ask if
you if you're the boy who met with Lepant.
Choose option 1 and she'll examine
o-----------------------------------o
you. If your castle is level 3 (which
| [1] Yes... Will you come with us? |
it should be, had you visited it again | [2] Um, I guess so...
|
before you left after recruiting
o-----------------------------------o
Kiba), then she will join your party,
since she knows of some Sindar ruins near Muse. She'll then ask you if you
want her to join you right now.
I'd choose 2 to send her to your
castle. Afterward, head down from
where you are standing; above the
Trading Post should be a
brown-haired guy in a green jacket
who'll offer to sell you some Tomato

o--------------------------------------o
| [1] Yes, please.
|
| [2] If you could go to the castle... |
o--------------------------------------o
Seeds for 700 potch.

C'mon, it's only 700 potch; fork it over to obtain the


[_TOMATO SEEDLING_]. Next, make your way to the Inn,
which is the southernmost building just off to the left
of the central path. Go up to the second floor and talk
to Sarah in the top room; after a bit of talking, she'll
give you a [_CYCLONE RUNE_]! Make sure to put this on Luc's
before you leave, SAVE.

o----------------o
| [1] Sure.
|
| [2] No thanks. |
o----------------o
RH slot! Also,

Our last stop is the Trading Post to the left of Marie's Inn; talk to Gordon
in here.
Choose option 2. After telling him your
situation, he'll decide that if you can make
50,000 potch worth of profit from just buying /
selling at the Trading Posts around the world,

o-------------------------o
| [1] I've come to trade. |
| [2] Please join us.
|
o-------------------------o

he will join your party! If you followed my note


from earlier, you should have brought 2-3 Celadon Urns with you. (If you did
not, you can get them by winning the Rope Climbing game in your castle above
Hai Yo's kitchen, or by having them dropped by the Flyers outside of South
Window.) Since you didn't pay for them to begin with, it is all profit! Check
the price here; if by selling them you don't reach 50,000 potch, reload your
save and try again, as the price will fluctuate if you haven't looked at the
prices yet. In any case, once you have the 50,000 potch profit, Gordon will
join your party! Before leaving, make sure to buy both the Soy Sauce and
Red Pepper from here so Hai Yo can complete his ingredient collection!
That's it for Gregminster for now, so go talk to Varkas beside the entrance to
the palace to have him take you back to the Banner Pass. From here, head to
Rokkaku; if you don't remember how to get there, there's a hidden path on the
screen before you reach the ladders (or if you're going from Banner to
Gregminster, it's on the screen AFTER the ladders.)
(- NOTE -) If your castle is level 3 AND Kasumi is with you, you'll be able
to enter. If Kasumi is not with you, you'll be escorted out after arriving.
You won't be able to enter on your own until your castle is level 4.

You'll automatically be taken straight to the

she will come out and greet Hanzo. After
telling him about being ordered to join your
army, Hanzo decides that he will lend you two
more soldiers to help you fight, Mondo and
Sasuke! Mondo immediately joins you, but
Sasuke will vanish after being picked on.
Mondo will ask if he should come with you.

Apple says that she knows you're exhausted, but before you do anything else,
you need to go to the Great Hall. Before doing anything, we have several
things to do, now that our castle is level 3, and since we have both Viki and
the Blinking Mirror! First, go to the Tavern and pick out a party you like,
but make sure that either Shiro or Mukumuku is in it, as well as a maiden
(someone who is 'pure', like Nanami or Tengaar). Also, make sure that you have
one Sound Set with you (it doesn't matter which one.) Once you've done that,
teleport to the Forest Path to Matilda.

two Hearing-Ear/Listening Crystals ([_MINDFULNESS CRYSTAL_] x2) that you will
be able to use to recruit two animals into your party. After he heads off to
your castle, go back out to the World Map, use the Blinking Mirror in your

First, go into the house on the left above

brought a Sound Set with you like I told you
to, he'll tell you he can make sounds with
them. Talk to him a second time.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Please join us.
|
| [2] Of course...
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Choose option 1, and he'll decide to join you


as well! You can now change your menu sounds!
Next, make your way north to the Trading Post
area to find a girl and a Griffin, with some
of the townspeople telling her to stop protecting it since her parents were

killed by those beasts. The girl, Ayda, tells them that she can't allow a
weak, injured creature to be killed. The townspeople will then move in to kill
it.
Choose either option, then three more Griffins
will arrive, but these three aren't friendly
ones! CHOOSE 1! Otherwise, you won't be able to
recruit either of them. You'll then take on
three Griffins, which shouldn't be any trouble.
After the battle, one of your Listening Crystals
will start to shine.

Feather, will thank you both for

then come right back out to find that they left, but also that a guy and a
Lamb are where they just were; talk to him, since he's selling his little lamb
for 4,000 potch.
Choose one to get yet another

(- NOTE -) Just so you know, there are


actually two more animals that you can choose
from to recruit; Sigfried the Unicorn, or
Abizboah the Kraken. You can recruit
Sigfried now, or wait until later to get
Abizboah. Getting Sigfried now will allow you
to recruit Bob in Two River just after this, otherwise you will have to wait
until after you recruit Tomo later on before you can do so. I did not tell you
this before recruiting Feather because if you do not recruit Feather, you
could not recruit Ayda, and therefore you would be unable to recruit all 108
Stars of Destiny. (Also, by recruiting Abizboah, you can recruit two more of
his Kraken friends, but to do so, you'd have to use your other Listening
Crystal, and therefore, once again, forfeit getting all 108 Stars of Destiny,
so I will not recommend doing that.)
Make your way all the way to the tree in the deepest part of the Unicorn
Woods. Walk up to the tree to have the other Listening Crystal start to shine.
Choose to hold it up, and Sigfried will
appear! If you have a maiden with you (Nanami
in my case), Sigfried will want to betroth
himself to her!

Make your way up to the Great Hall, where Shu will be glad to see that allying
with the Toran Republic was a success. Apple says that Highland is making
their way here now, along with reinforcements from Harmonia, numbering a total
of 50,000 troops, compared to our 20,000. Shu will tell you to go ahead and
rest for the night. At night, you can talk to one of many sets of people to
continue on; Nanami and Pilika in your room, Shu in his room, or Rina, Eilie,
and Bolgan on the first floor; all of them relate to you fighting against

Jowy. There's even a scene between Flik and Nina on the roof if you care to
see. After you're done talking, head back up to your room and go to bed.
In Highland, Leon recommends taking the surrounding cities in our area, but
Luca just wants to go straight at our hearts at HQ. You'll also see Sasarai
from Harmonia (who looks a LOT like Luc...); he's leading the soldiers from
Harmonia. The next morning after you wake up, make your way to the Great Hall
again, where you'll learn that the Highland Army has appeared in Radat, so Shu
sent Ridley to check out the enemy's numbers. You'll then be notified that he
has been ambushed, so Shu asks you to send reinforcements right away.
Choose option 2 to head into your eighth
Major Battle!

o--------------------------------o
| [1] Wait a minute.
|
| [2] I understand. Let's hurry. |
o--------------------------------o

o--------o
o-----------------------------------o
| s1.mb8 |
| Major Battle - Saving Lord Ridley |
o--------o-------------------------------o-----------------------------------o
|
|
| The battle starts with just Ridley surrounded by several Highland troops. |
| I actually recommend doing as little as possible to end the battle as
|
| quickly as you can. If Ridley's unit falls, the battle is over, and there |
| is no penalty for losing this battle. It also keeps your other troops
|
| from getting damaged and having some of your allies possibly killed for
|
| good. However, if you like a challenge, try to get Huan in someone's unit |
| and see if you can get Ridley healed before he falls, then see if you can |
| defeat Highland from there! I'm just going to let him fall though, it's
|
| really easy to do so. It actually only took Highland two attacks to take |
| him down for me.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, Luc will appear, telling you that he knows Sasarai of
Harmonia very well, and that he'll take care of him during the next battle.
Shu will then tell you that he has a strategy, so head to bed and we'll go
over it tomorrow. Go up to your room, and Tsai will come in, wanting to talk.
Choose option 1, and he'll tell you that he left his tools
at his house in Ryube, and would like to go get them. If
you told him you were busy, you can still take him to his
house, so form a party with him in it, then go to Ryube.

| [1] Yes.

Tomo! After some talking between them and
hearing what her dad is now doing, Tomo will
decide to join your army as well! That's actually it, so head back to HQ.
(- NOTE -) If you chose not to recruit Sigfried in the Kobold Village, you
should now be able to recruit Bob in Two River since you should now have 80

Stars of Destiny, but only if you recruited Kasumi, Mondo, and Sasuke.

Head up to your room and go to sleep. In Highland, you'll see Luca and Ridley,
with Ridley defending your honor. Afterward, Leon mentions a new bright, young
general, so there won't be need for worry. The next morning, you'll be woke
up (I actually had Sigfried wake me up... that would scare the hell out of me
if I woke up staring a Unicorn in the face, but that's just me...), then you
need to head down to the Great Hall. Shu will tell you that they can't beat a
force of 50,000, so he wants to surround Luca himself with all that we have,
and to take him down like that. Once he's down, the Highland Army should be
finished. You'll use Kiba as bait, since Luca should chase him down after
defecting to our side. He'll then ask you to give the signal to deploy.
Choose option 1 first, then talk to
Apple to rearrange your units. I'm going
to set them up as follows:

o---------------------------------o
| [1] ....I'm not quite ready.... |
| [2] Okay......let's deploy.
|
o---------------------------------o

Luc's unit won't actually be


o----------o----------o----------o----------o
available in this battle, as
| Hero
| Viktor | Kasumi | Kiba
|
he'll show up only momentarily | Shu
| Apple
| Jeane
| Hanna
|
to attack Sasarai, then will
| Humphrey | Miklotov | Klaus
| Huan
|
disappear once again, so we
o----------o----------o----------o----------o
will have everyone else except | Gilbert | Flik
| Teresa | Ayda
|
him set up accordingly. With
| Shin
| Tsai
| Nanami | Yam Koo |
this setup, everyone except
| Chaco
| Tai Ho | Camus
| Lorelai |
for Hero, Ayda, and Luc should o----------o----------o----------o----------o
be able to move two squares,
| Luc
|
and since Jeane is with
| Freed Y |
Kasumi, there's a chance that
| Templton |
you could use her Lightning
o----------o
Rune on Luca's unit and
possibly end the battle very early on. Also with this setup, everyone should
have at least 8 DEF, so I find it pretty well rounded. Once you have your army
set up, talk to Shu again and choose option 2 to go into battle. He will also
ask Apple to call for Mondo and Sasuke... (or Chaco, if you did not recruit
them yet.)
o--------o
o---------------------------------------------------o
| s1.mb9 |
| Major Battle - Our last stand against Luca Blight |
o--------o---------------o---------------------------------------------------o
|
|
| This battle will end if you do one sword's worth of damage to Luca's
|
| unit, or just after SEVERAL turns of not being able to do anything. In
|
| either case, make sure that you do not get a report that says that
|
| someone was KILLED, otherwise you'll have to reset and try again, because |
| once they're dead, you won't be able to get all 108 Stars and the good
|
| ending.
|
|
|
| The battle will start with Luca chasing Kiba, and after he gets far
|
| enough in, the rest of your army will appear. Start with having Kasumi's |
| unit use Jeane's Lightning Rune on Luca, then continue on using Tsai's
|
| Fire Spear, then Teresa's bombard ability, then by having all of your
|

| Archers attack, and if Luca still hasn't taken damage, move your Infantry |
| units in to attack. After a while, Yuber and Sasarai will show up with
|
| their armies, and after that, Luc will appear, using his True Wind Rune
|
| to take out Sasarai and the Harmonian troops, but will then disappear
|
| again.
|
|
|
| After you've done some damage to Luca, he'll teleport off, damaging ALL
|
| of your troops along the way, hopefully not killing any! That should be
|
| the end of that battle. Or if you drag it on long enough, you'll just
|
| retreat. In my experience, Tsai's Fire Spear is usually what gives the
|
| damage to Luca.

After the battle, you'll regain control. Head


down to the first floor, and make your way
toward Viki, and you'll see Ridley with Mondo
and Sasuke (or Chaco)! They were able to
rescue him, and Ridley says that it was
pretty foolish of him to fall into the
enemy's trap.

Choose either option, then Ridley says that he o---------------------------o


has a message for Shu, so you will

automatically go back to the Great Hall, where | [2] Yeah.
|
everyone is overjoyed to see Ridley back safe. o---------------------------o
He then gives Shu his message from Leon
Silverberg; Luca Blight is planning on a night raid, so this is our last
chance. We'll lay an ambush for him and kill him. He'll then ask you what you
want to do.

set of battles in the entire game, and we | [2] Okay, let's deploy.
|
need to prepare for it. I'll tell you now o--------------------------------o
what it will be; there will be three
battles, the first led by Flik, the second led by Viktor, and the last battle
led by you. So in addition to those three, we need to get fifteen others
prepared for the upcoming battle. I recommend using these teams.
Make sure that each person in these teams o----------o----------o----------o
are at least level 35, preferably 37 or
| Flik
| Viktor | Hero
|
38, which can easily be done at the
| Miklotov | Shin
| Humphrey |
Banner Pass after a few minutes. Make
| Camus
| Sheena | Oulan
|
sure to also make trips back and forth to | Eilie
| Lorelai | Tengaar |
Kuskus, trying to get everyone's weapons
| Yoshino | Nanami | Rina
|
sharpened to level 11. Once you've done
| Nina
| Viki
| Luc
|
both of those, try to suit everyone up
o----------o----------o----------o
with the best armor you can buy, and give
everyone runes that you will find useful for the battles ahead.
For my setup, I am trying to have my parties be mainly magic oriented for two
reasons; 1) You need to whittle away his HP in as big of chunks as you can, as

every minute longer you have to fight him, the better chances of him winning,
and 2) He will counterattack most of your physical attacks, making someone
like Viktor very vulnerable. For the first two groups, you will only be able
to inflict so much damage before the battle is over and Luca will move on to
the next group, that is, if he doesn't kill everyone first. For the first two
groups, I strongly recommend suiting everyone with Lightning Runes, with Water
Runes in their second slots if they have them; your only target is Luca, so
you should either ignore the WhiteWolves, or use a Fire Rune to start out with
to wipe them out. The Lightning Rune is best for single targets, so those are
the ones you'll want on everyone. As for the Hero's group, here's my setup:

With the Fire Sealing Rune on Hero, he won't take any damage from Luca's fire
sword attacks. I also recommend keeping a Mother Earth Rune on him, casting
Guardian Earth to start with, then Revenge Earth on himself, making him
temporarily invincible, as long as he isn't counterattacked by Luca. Humphrey
and Oulan are mainly there to take as much of the damage as they can, while
Luc does the majority of the magic damage, with Rina and Tengaar healing and
casting the strongest Lightning spells they have. However, with the Fury Rune
on Oulan, she'll be able to use her Angry Dragon Rune every turn without worry
of being countered while doing decent damage!
Once you're prepared, go back to Shu once more and choose to deploy to have
him ask you to set up your parties (as I've broken down above). After you've
chosen them, he asks if you're okay with the groups.
Once you're ready, choose 2 to start the chain

o--------------------------------o--------------------------------o----------o
|
|
| (- NOTE -) See above for my preparation for this fight if you haven't
|
| already; this battle takes much preparation!
|
|
|
| Flik's Group:
|
|
|
| Start off by having Camus use his Rage Rune to clear out the WhiteWolves, |
| then have everyone use their Lightning Runes on Luca. After you use up
|
| all of the spells on your Lightning Runes, have Flik, Miklotov, and Camus |
| use their Pretty Boy attack, while having the others attack / heal until |
| Luca moves onto Viktor's group, or until you die trying.
|
|
|
| Viktor's Group:
|
|
|
| As with Flik's group, have someone use a Fire Rune to clear out the
|
| WhiteWolves (if you have one), then focus all of your Lightning Runes on |
| Luca. After you use up all of the spells on your Lightning Runes, just
|
| have everyone attack / heal until Luca moves on to Hero's group, or until |
| you're spent.
|
|
|
| Hero's Group:
|
|
|
| Have Hero start the battle by casting Guardian Earth on the Mother Earth |
| Rune, then by casting Revenge Earth on himself, basically making himself |
| invincible to Luca's attacks (unless you are counterattacked by him). Hero |
| should be the primary healer with Battle Oath / Great Blessing to start
|
| out with, and let Rina and Tengaar take over or help out if needed. Have |
| Humphrey attack normally, since he can't do anything except that and take |
| damage, and have Oulan use her Angry Dragon Rune every turn, given that
|
| she is Berserk and will be able to. Have Rina, Tengaar, and Luc all use
|
| the strongest spells on their Lightning Runes, healing if needed. If you |
| were able to breeze through Flik and Viktor's groups, then you shouldn't |
| have a problem here. If however Luca seems to be getting the best of you, |
| just keep casting Revenge Earth on Hero and try to take him out with just |
| Hero, since Luca won't be able to hurt him unless he counterattacks. Just |
| try to keep everyone healed!
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, Luca will run off. Flik and Viktor will join you (see ya,
Humphrey and Oulan), then you will regain control. Head north, following the
path as you take on two sets of WhiteWolves. When you reach the area after
that, you'll see Luca, babbling on about why he can't die here and why he has
to lose. He'll then find a wooden amulet with some fireflies inside, and when
he opens it, they'll fly around him, making your archers aware of his
location, so they'll let loose on him! You'll then approach him; several more
groups of his soldiers try to defend him before he decides to take you on
himself, one-on-one!

Luca Blight will then finally fall, wondering why you still fight.
Choose either option, and he'll tell

you that even though he lost, Highland

will be screaming for his vengeance!
| [2] ............................ |
He'll then start laughing maniacally,
o----------------------------------o
saying that his thirst for blood is
finally gone, and that even though it took hundreds to kill him, he killed
others by the thousands! He'll finally breathe his last breath and collapse,
making us wonder if we've finally won... You'll then see Jowy and Leon
Silverberg in the distance, with Jowy finally getting what he always hoped
for.
Back at Headquarters, everyone will start to celebrate, then you'll collapse!
Luckily you just fainted from exhaustion, so you'll be taken to your room. In
Highland, you'll see Jowy pledging to serve Jillia and vice versa, then Jowy
will become the new King of Highland!!!

The next morning, Nanami will join you, telling you that you should be feeling
better since a week has passed. If you talk to everyone in the Great Hall and
then leave, Nanami notes that there shouldn't be any battles for a while, she

wants to go walk around South Window and Kuskus. Let's stop at South Window
first.
(- NOTE -) Now that Luca has been defeated, another side quest has opened up.
If you loaded your data from Suikoden I, you can go to Banner Village and
start the quest to recruit McDohl by talking to the little boy that looks like
you. I will detail this later in the guide, since I know not everyone was able
to load data from I to II. It's not relative to the story at all, and will
actually slow everyone down who is working on Clive's Story. If you're
interested in doing this quest now, go to s1.sq2 to do so.

Make your way to the Tavern to find a guy


named Hoi, who just happens to be
impersonating YOU!
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] You......
|
| [2] Hey, you.....

|
| [2] C'mon now.....

|
| [2] How dare you interrupt....

Choose either option, then


pick either one again as his
story goes on, then do so once
again for the third set of
options. One of them asks to
see his Bright Shield Rune,
but it will start to melt
away, making them realize he's
an imposter. They knew that
you couldn't actually be that small! HA! He'll start to run off, but will be
cornered by another group at the exit, claiming that he was doing the same
thing in South Window, Two River, and Rockaxe!
Pick either option, then the entire
room will turn on both him and you,
seeing that you use the same type of
weapon! After getting beaten up and
thrown out of the Tavern, Hoi will
then join your party! You can go back to

comment on how it would be bad if he ran into the real Hero here... but then

make your way to Kuskus.
(- NOTE -) Hoi is one of several characters that can possibly join your party
at level 99. If he has, don't worry; it's just a glitch, and it happens. It
happened to me just now! There are several others this can happen to as the
game progresses... three of which are just AWESOME! Two fighters and a mage!

(M) [# 87] |
o----------------------------o

The story will continue here in Kuskus, but


we can recruit someone before continuing on.
Go to the Inn first and talk to the dancer on
the left; she's Karen. She'll ask what your
business is.

Choose option 1, then when she says she's


not of any use, choose 1 again, and she'll
tell you that there is one thing. Choose
either option here, and she'll tell you that
if you can keep up with her dancing, she'll
join your party! Choose 1 to dance with her.
To recruit her, you need to hit the
following button sequence before time runs
out:
TRIANGLE, SQUARE, O, X, TRIANGLE, X, O,
SQUARE.

o-----------------------------o
| [1] Join our group.
|
| [2] You're beautiful.

|
| [2] You got some complaint? |
o-----------------------------o
| [1] Okay, I'll do it!
|
| [2] Forget it, sister!
|
o-----------------------------o

If you do it successfully, Karen will then


join your party! That's it for recruits for
now, so let's continue the story. Try to walk past the Blacksmith in town to
have the townspeople tell you that a Highland ship just arrived, and will ask
you to follow them. Head over to the dock, where you will find Culgan! He says
that he brings a message from Jowy Blight, King of Highland; Jowy sent Culgan
to make a peace treaty between Highland and the State! Culgan then asks to go
with you back to your Headquarters, that way the formal peace offer seems more
formal than there. Culgan will then join your convoy! Make your way out of
Kuskus and go back to Headquarters.
(- NOTE -) Karen comes equipped with a Master Robe; I recommend taking it off
her and putting it on Luc.

Start to head to the Great Hall to have Culgan comment on how amazing the
castle is, then meet up with Shu in the Great Hall. Everyone will be on edge
at first, but Culgan will tell them about the peace agreement and Jowy
becoming King, then will officially deliver the letter. He then asks both you

and Teresa Wisemail to go to Muse to sign the treaty. After he leaves, Klaus
believes that it might be a trap, considering that Leon Silverberg is their
strategist. Ridley thinks that they should take back Muse and Greenhill now
with Luca gone, but Teresa will ask you what you think we should do.
Choose 2 to continue the story. Teresa will

(- NOTE -) Out here on the World Map, this is your second and last opportunity
to fight the WhiteTigers here; they can drop the Double-Beat Runes, which you
can never seem to have enough of. If you want any more of them, get them now.
At the end of the game, you'll have one more chance to get them by revisiting
the CutRabbits at the North Sparrow Pass.

Highland soldier here will tell you that you
need to go to Jowston Hill to meet with Jowy.
Go inside, then Chaco will leave your party
to check out the city. Make your way up
Jowston Hill, then once you're inside, head
east to see Jowy, who'll ask how you are.

preparations have been made for the

peace conference, at which Leon will

surrender to Highland right now... otherwise, they will all die right here and
now. He then asks you once again to surrender.

Viktor will come running in, with Pilika in tow! | [1] I can't do that.

Pilika will run over to Jowy, giving you just

enough time to run away, since Jowy doesn't want o-------------------------o

first words in a very long time, saying that she was so lonely without him...

Back outside, Viktor is trying to hurry you out.


Choose either option to have Viktor drag you
o--------------------------o
out, since he won't listen to your orders if
| [1] Wait, Pilika is..... |
you defy. He'll then convoy join you (I put him | [2] Yeah................ |
in my front row once again), so head back
o--------------------------o
toward the entrance of the city, where you'll
be attacked by a group of Highland soldiers. Fight around for a while after if
you want to gain some quick levels in the 40's, then go to the entrance,
where you'll find Chaco messing with the guards, taking a lever that would've
closed the gate and sealed you within the city. Leave the city to have Chaco
rejoin, then Viktor will tell you that Shu knew that this was all going to
happen. After automatically meeting up with Flik in Toto, you'll automatically
be back at Headquarters.

Start to make your way up to the Great Hall to run into Shu and Apple near the
Stone Tablet. Nanami will ask him why he had to involve Pilika into this; he
says that it was necessary, and then tells you that you can hate him if you
like, but you must be protected by any means necessary. After he leaves, you
should head up to your bedroom and check on Nanami; she'll say that she'll be
okay. Once you've done that, start to make your way to the castle's exit. Once
you get there, you'll see a boy named Koyu, who's looking for you, or at
least, he thinks it's you.
You can deny it all you want, and he'll even ask

Once you're prepared, teleport to the Kobold Village, then head southwest of
there to Drakemouth Village.

leading inside). Once inside, check the row of four crates on the upper right
that has a bag on top of the first one; this bag has a [_CABBAGE SEED_].
Now talk to the guard in the northwestern corner; he won't let you pass, but
Koyu reminds him that he lent him money when his mom was pregnant. He also
suggests that he 'takes a little break', so you'll then be able to pass
through.

Window Set #2 and the Firefly Rune. As I said
before, make sure you get this immediately so
you have both Window Set #1 and Window Set #2
so the glitch doesn't keep you from getting
one or the other.

This is easily the most straightforward area


in the game. Head west until you reach a
split, where Koyu will tell you that to the
left is Tinto, but we need to take the path
above to get to his brothers. Take the upper path and when you reach the fork
here, head up to the east and open the chest for a [_MASTER ROBE_]. Take the
western path up now, and you'll find Koyu's brother, Gijimu. He says that they
had to burn their barricade and destroy their roads and bridges so their
pursuers couldn't follow. They're not sure what happened to their sister
though, but she's tough so she should be okay. He then says that we should

fight together with Gustav from Tinto, so that's where we need to head.
Head back down to the first fork, then continue west, following this path all
the way to Tigermouth Village, ignoring the last fork along the way.

the guard station, so he wants to hurry to
Tinto. Before going, head all the way south,
past the well, and you should see a little
[_CHICK_] wandering around; make sure to pick
it up! After you get it, talk to the guy in
the brown coat around the well; he'll give
you a [_TOMATO SEEDLING_]. Next, go into the
house to the southwest of the well and check
the skinny part of the bookshelf above the
archway to get [_OLD BOOK VOL. 8_]. That's
it for Tigermouth Village, so head west out to a new area of the World Map.

With Wakaba with you, try to head into the


Inn here in Tinto to find Wakaba's master,
L.C.Chan! Before you can do anything though,
he'll run off, with the Innkeeper chasing
after him since he decided to dine and dash!
Go behind the Item Shop to find him; after
some more talking and avoiding the Innkeeper,
she'll introduce you to him. He'll act like
he will attack you, but since you're on your guard he sees that even he cannot

get past your guard, and will decide to join your army!
After the Innkeeper chases him off, head down the stairs to the north to that
side of town, then enter the northeastern house. Inside is Tenkou; if you did
bring a Window Set with you, he'll ask if he can buy it off of you.

Tinto.

checks with Gustav, he'll let you in. Go down the hall and enter the door on
the left to talk to Gustav, and Viktor will tell him about all that's been

going on, and Gustav now believes joining forces would be a good idea, since
he knows you're serious since you defeated Luca Blight. He'll then ask for
your help.

to sleep or not.

| [1] I'm not strong at all.
|
| [2] You're not up to the job. |

Pick 1, since you can't leave the building


o-----------------------------o
anyway. Viktor will let you guys go to
| [1] Yeah.
|
sleep, telling Nanami not to wet the bed!
| [2] Hmmm, it's still early. |
HA! The next morning, Viktor will come in
o-----------------------------o
and wake you, telling you that Ridley and
Klaus arrived this morning. After Nanami comes in, head back downstairs and
into Gustav's room, and after everyone is together in the room, Gustav's
daughter, Lilly, comes running in, telling you that scary goblins have come!
Leave here and go to the entrance of town.
Neclord's here, and he wants to turn Tinto into his new zombie kingdom! Viktor
will try to attack him, but he'll just leave for the time being. Afterward, go
back to the guild hall to talk to Gustav, and you'll see Jess and Hauser of
Muse come in! Jess questions why Gustav is asking for your help, since he
thinks YOU were the one who killed Lady Anabelle! He wants you to explain.
Choose either option, and Ridley will tell Jess
o-------------------------o
to stop; Jess wants nothing to do with you, so
| [1] ..............
|
he and Hauser will leave. Go out into the hall
| [2] I.... Jowy was..... |
to see Jess telling his people to be ready so
o-------------------------o
they can fight any time. He'll then tell you
that he doesn't trust you, and that he thinks that people from the State
should save the City-State. Go back and talk to Gustav again, and he'll tell
you not to worry about Jess, and to focus on facing Neclord.
You may want to choose 2 and go to the Inn and save;
o--------------------o
you have an important choice coming up. Once you've
| [1] Sure...
|
done that, head back and talk to him again, then
| [2] No, not yet... |
choose option 1, and afterward it'll be time to go to o--------------------o
bed. Talk to Lilly in the hall, then make your way
upstairs and to your room on the left. Go in and crawl into your bed, and
Leknaat will appear once again, telling you that the future she sees can
easily change, and that the runes you and Jowy possess are calling to each
other, but above all, the fate of many people and their hearts are gathered in
you. After she disappears, go over to Nanami's room and talk to her. She
starts wondering about what Jess said, if they really belong there... then
she'll ask you to run away, saying that many other people could be up to the
job, and if we keep up, we'll end up fighting Jowy.

| everyone out to the entrance to town, where
| Skeleton (B)
| Jess says that he was given reliable
| Unicombie
| information as to where Neclord has been
| Zombie (A)
| hiding. He will then order Hauser to proceed,
| Zombie (B)
| who will obey because Jess is the acting
o----------------------------o mayor of Muse.
Klaus will come in, telling you that you must go into battle as well, because
if we don't, Jess's army will be defeated and will become part of Neclord's
army. He'll ask you and Viktor to stay behind to protect Tinto while he
follows Jess's troops.
Once you regain control, leave the building and head east toward the mine. You
will see a group of people gathered, and they'll tell you that a mine
collapsed, and several people went inside, but never returned, so let's check
it out. Go inside, then follow the path to take an elevator down, then
continue following the path, ignoring the fork to the east. You'll eventually
run into Neclord, who tells you that he had some spies infiltrate the Muse
army, so Jess's troops are on their way to doom. He'll then attack you; just
like the first battle with Neclord in North Window, it cannot be won. Just let
him attack you until the battle ends.
After the battle, he then tries to use the Moon Rune on you to complete his
curse, but luckily your Bright Shield Rune defends it, giving you a chance to
escape. Before moving, heal both you and Nanami to the max, and be careful in
the battles on the way back. Once you do get back in town, you'll see that it
has already fallen to the zombies. Before you can escape, you'll start to
faint again, so Nanami will pick you up and run away to safety. In Muse, you
will see a scene between Jowy and Pilika, then you'll wake up in Crom Village.

Choose either option, and you'll be told that you o------------------------o


were asleep for two days. You'll also find out
| [1] What's this place? |
that Tinto has fallen, and Jess and Hauser are
| [2] .............
|
missing, as is Gustav's daughter, Lilly, but
o------------------------o
luckily Klaus and Ridley managed to escape. Head
downstairs to find, among others, Leona! Talk to her to put your preferred
party back together, then head outside and start to make your way to the exit
of the village to the south to run into Kahn Marley! He is still after
Neclord, but this time, he's looking for a way to seal Neclord's soul. He says
that the person who can do it is also after Neclord, and is in Tigermouth
Village, so Kahn will join you. I'd put him in your convoy, since you probably
have someone better prepared and suited than he. Once he joins, then you can
head off to Tigermouth Village.

Head east just a bit, and you'll see the


woman you're looking for, Sierra, surrounded
by the townspeople, since they think she's
with Neclord. After some insults from
everyone toward her, she starts to get
ticked, saying that they will have to make up
for her sleep getting disturbed! They'll all
run off, leaving just her. Kahn will approach
her, introducing himself and asking her if
she is chasing Neclord as well; she is,
because Neclord stole her Moon Rune! She says that they can't join forces
though, as we humans would just get in the way. The
Star Dragon Sword will make his presence known, which o--------------------o
changes Sierra's mind, so she'll challenge you to see | [1] Let's do it. |

and rest yourself, or you can go talk to both Kahn and Sierra to find out more
about why they're after Neclord; it's up to you.

I'm taking Kahn to change things up. Once you're downstairs, everyone will be
gathered together and be ready to depart. You'll learn that both Koyu's
sister, Lo Wen, and Gustav's daughter, Lilly, have been taken by Neclord.
Gustav tells you that you should take the Tinto Mine to the east to sneak into
Tinto. Kahn and Sierra will then join your party; put them wherever you like.
Make sure to rest up at the Inn if needed, then leave Crom and head east to
the mine.

Koyu, who tells you that Tinto suffered a
surprise attack. He then asks the village
chief to let you use the room for the night
to get some rest. Once you're in the room, Nanami decides that they should try
sneaking out again once it's night.
Head downstairs when you regain control to find that Marlowe was able to make
it safely here as well. After some discussion between them, you'll find out

that Lo Wen and Gustav's daughter Lilly was taken by Neclord. Talk to them if
you want, then you'll have to go back upstairs for the night, since we can't
get away. The next morning, leave the chief's house to find that zombies have
already made it to Crom!

for everything that has happened, and will tell you that it was selfish of her
to ask for you to run away from everything. You'll then hear some commotion
outside, so Nanami will run out there, only to find Flik, Apple, and Shu. Shu
will ask if you've had enough, telling you that many people still need you.
If you keep choosing 2, you'll learn that
Ridley was killed during the surprise attack on
Tinto. Shu will then slap you, telling you that
you should think of that as the pain of the
people who believed in you. He'll ask you one
last time to come back to the army. If you
chose 2 all the way through, everyone will head
back to Crom, telling you that they have a plan
waiting if you decide to return. If you chose 1,
way back to Crom.

bad about Ridley, as he was a soldier, and
soldiers die in battle all the time. He also
tells you that only he, Klaus, Shu, Flik, and Apple know that you ran off, so
you are not to tell anyone what happened. After he leaves you, head back to
your room and go to sleep.
The next morning, head downstairs to find everyone waiting for you, ready to
take on Neclord. You'll see Kahn once again, along with the elder of the
vampires, Miss Sierra. Gustav will tell you that you should enter Tinto
through the mines to the east of Crom, so we'll do that. Both Kahn and Sierra
will then join you; I recommend putting Sierra in your convoy, but Kahn will
be up to you; his Resurrection Rune will come in handy. Whenever you're ready,
make sure to rest up at the Inn if needed, then leave Crom and head east into
the Tinto Mine.

Master Garbs, easily one of the best pieces
of armor in the game. Also, the Zombies here
in the Tinto Mine (the ones with hair, not
the bald ones) can drop Power Gloves. You'll
probably end up with a lot of ? vases while
trying to get them, as I had a lot of trouble
at first, but you should eventually get some!
Head north following the path to a fork;
north leads to a dead-end, so head
east to the next area. There are several
forks in this area, but since there's no
treasure, head north at the first fork you
come to, then all the way east and north to
the next area. Go north some more to a fork,
taking the eastern path to the next area with
a [_DANCING FLAMES_] scroll. Go back and head
west now, following the path through four
screens.
On this fifth screen, you should come up to a
fork with water on both sides of you. Open
the chests to the northeast for a
[_FULL HELMET_] and a [_STONE OF MAG-DEF_],
then continue north, following the path as
it goes west to the next area, then north to
the next. Head north to be at a fork; take
the path up the hill to a chest containing a
[_MASTER GARB_]. Slide down here, then go
east to the next area, then north to the
next, then north even more to another fork.
The path north is actually blocked, so
continue west to the next area, following the
path as it curves around and heads north
under a bridge to a fork. Go north under the
second bridge to find two chests containing
[_OLD BOOK VOL. 9_] and [_WINDOW SET #5_].

Head east at the fork now to end up at


another fork; west leads to a dead-end, so
head east to the next area, and yet another
fork. This is actually north of the blocked path from earlier, so continue
east to the next area. Here's another room with several forks; head south
first, then west to a [_SILVER NECKLACE_]. To the east of this chest is
another chest; this one has a [_MEGA MEDICINE_] in it. Head back toward the
entrance to this area, then head east to find two slippery slopes. Take the
eastern one down, then you'll come to two more; again, take the eastern one.
You're at a fork now; go southwest and slide down here, then open the chest
for a [_DOUBLE-STRIKE RUNE_]. Go to the left and around to the right, passing

the magician, Mazus, along the way. He won't join you until you have a level 4
castle, just so you know. Slide down the small path here to be back where you
were, then head east, then northeast up the ramps here to a Journeyman's
Crystal. Head north first, then slide down the ramp to the left to find the
[_STAR EARRINGS_], then make your way back to the Journeyman's Crystal by
going down the ramps below you and making your way back up.
There's one more chest to get; head east and take the far slope down, then get
the [_WIND HAT_]. Go down this slope and make your way back to the
Journeyman's Crystal, saving this time. Just know that when you go down the
slope just to the east of it, there's no way back up. When you're ready, go
down it and enter the cave here. Follow the path through two screens to an
open area / fork. You can also see a crate to your east; move it west, then
north until it's between the two ledges so it will form a bridge. Once you've
done that, leave the room via the western exit, then follow the path as it
goes back to the next area, across the newly formed bridge, then north to the
area after. Keep on following the path until you reach an open area, where a
massive Stone Golem will appear!

| This boss is weak against Lightning, so I hope you put a Lightning Rune on |
| Luc earlier when I mentioned it. If you do, this battle will go much
|
| easier. You should only use one of Luc's level 4 spells if needed, as we |
| will need the rest for Neclord (level 3 should work as well if you're
|
| stronger). Try to have everyone just attack normally, with Hero healing
|
| with Battle Oath / Great Blessing when needed. One Thor Shot from Luc
|
| should get you pretty well on your way to taking this guy out; just stay |
| healed, because this guy does hit pretty hard.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, head north and keep following the path until you end up
outside crossing the bridge. Once you get into the second part of the mines,
head east and south to the next area, then head east from there to an elevator
going down. Head west from here, across the bridge, then north into a dark
area under a bridge above you. Go just a bit further north to the start of the
tracks up here, then head south, following along the tracks to the next area.
You should recognize the next fork here; it's the fork we passed just before
facing Neclord earlier, if you chose to stay and fight. Head east this time
until you reach a chest containing a [_CAPE OF DARKNESS_]. Go back to the
fork, then head south to the next area, then follow the path back to the
elevator, that'll take you up; head east and south from there to be back in
Tinto.

Now to find Neclord; head west from here to


take on some Zombies, then to the west side
of the guild hall to take on another set. Go
up the wooden stairs to your left until
you're on the outside of the church here;
Sierra senses the Moon Rune here, so go
inside, then check the door on the left side.
Viktor asks if you're ready.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Okay, let's go.
|
| [2] I'm not mentally prepared yet...
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Make sure you're party is healed to the max,


then once you're ready, choose 1 to go
inside. You'll see both Lilly and Lo Wen
arguing with Neclord, then one of two things will happen, depending on whether
or not you chose to fight or run earlier.
1) If you chose to fight... you will enter; Neclord wonders how
you got past the Stone Golem, then Viktor will go off on him, and does he
ever! Easily the best set of lines in the game!!! Neclord seems pretty
confident, but that's before he realizes that Viktor was just buying time to
where Kahn could set up a sacred barrier that would prevent Neclord from using
his phase magic.
2) If you chose to run away... Koyu and Marlowe will enter the room, coming to
save both Lilly and Lo Wen. Viktor will wonder what we should do.
If you choose 2, you'll wait a bit before
o------------------------o
charging, as you'll get to see Neclord scare them | [1] Let's help.
|
a bit; if you choose 1, you'll go right ahead.
| [2] Let's take a look. |
Neclord will see you, then remind you that he has o------------------------o
two hostages. Just as he goes to do something,
he'll be blocked by a barrier. Koyu and Marlowe's performance gave Kahn enough
time to set up a sacred barrier that would prevent Neclord from using his
phase magic.
He still seems pretty confident because he has the Moon Rune, but just as he
goes to use it, Sierra will seal the power from being used! Now it's time to
finally take out Neclord once and for all!

|
o--------------------------------o Start off by having Hero casting the
|
|
Guardian Earth spell on his Mother
|
| Earth Rune, if he still has it equipped, followed by healing with Battle |
| Oath / Great Blessing every round after. Have Luc cast his strongest
|
| magic, have Kahn use his Charm Arrow spell on his Resurrection Rune, if
|
| you have either him or someone with a Resurrection Rune equipped, then
|
| have everyone else attack normally. His attacks hit EVERYONE, VERY hard, |
| and he attacks twice per round, so you will definitely need Hero on
|
| healing duty after the first round. He can also instantly kill one party |
| member with an attack, so be careful. Viktor, Sheena, and Killey should
|
| prove to be a pretty lethal combo if they still have the Double-Beat /
|
| Fury Rune combo.
|
|
|

o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Seeing that he can't escape, he'll give the Moon Rune back to Sierra. After
that, after over 400 years, Neclord's life (or is it death...?) will end at
Viktor's hand by the Star Dragon Sword! Now that Neclord is gone, head south
out of the room, the back outside and toward the entrance of town. Lilly will
be reunited with Gustav, and everyone else has returned safely, including Jess
and Hauser. Jess will ask you why you defeated Neclord and saved Tinto.
Choose either option, then Jess
will tell Hauser that he's
resigning as the mayor of Muse,
and will ask Hauser to join you.

o-----------------------------------------o
| [1] I don't want to run away anymore... |

|

Jess tells you that Anabelle liked

you a lot, and will ask you if you

are betraying her faith. Choose

|
either option (1 is better, as

|
Nanami will have to jump in and

persuade Jess if you choose 2), then
Jess will apologize to you and ask to join your army! You're not told, but the
following people have joined your army: Hauser, Sierra, Jess, Gijimu, Lo Wen,
Koyu, Marlowe, and Kahn!
Before leaving Tinto, head back to the guild hall one last time and talk to
Gustav in his room on the right; he will give you the [_MOTHER EARTH RUNE_] as
proof of their friendship. That's it for Tinto, so leave here and head west to
Crom for another rune.

(- NOTE -) If you still have one Listening Crystal left, and you want to
recruit Abizboah, follow this next section. Otherwise, skip just the Tinto
Mine section below and go to the Drakemouth-Tigermouth Pass.

the screen after the two sets of ramps going
down), and approach the large body of water
near the lower peninsula, not the upper part

near the ramps. Once you do, the Listening


Crystal will start to shine.

Choose 1, and a Kraken will appear! Choose


1 again, and you'll recruit Abizboah!
Remember, you can ONLY recruit Abizboah if
you did not recruit Sigfried earlier and
still have one Listening Crystal left.

(- NOTE -) If for some bizarre reason you


chose not to recruit Feather and Ayda, you
can recruit Abizboah's mate, Rulodia, in this exact spot. Bring Abizboah with
you to this spot later, and use your second Listening Crystal. If you have
both of them, you can also recruit their baby, Chuchara. It's at the dock in
your castle, if you want to complete the Kraken Family.
That's it for here, so leave the Tinto Mine and make your way back to the
Drakemouth-Tigermouth Pass.

Head east to the fork you passed a while ago,


and take the lower eastern path this time,
and you'll see a man overlooking a cliff (if
you ran away earlier, you'll meet up with him
again); this is Georg, formerly of both the
Knights of the Queendom of Falena and the
Scarlet Moon Empire. He'll ask what's bothering you.
Choose either option, then he'll offer to
be hired for your army, since he's pretty
strong. Choose either option 1 or 2 and
Georg will tell you money is no object; all
he asks for is that you never give up in
this fight. Georg Prime joins! We have one
last recruit, so go back to Headquarters
and teleport to South Window.

(- NOTE -) Like Hoi and L.C.Chan, Georg can join at level 99 as well. He's one
of the strongest people in the game to begin with, and if he joins at 99, he
WILL be the strongest, along with the most HP! Excellent! (Sadly, he will only
ever get one rune slot, meaning that others such as Killey and Sheena, even
Viktor, can become stronger through the use of runes.)

Make your way up to toward the Great Hall; if


Sheena's with you, nothing will happen, but
if he isn't, Sheena will stop you, telling
you that he thinks Shu came up with a plan.
He'll join you, if he's not with you already.
Head to the Great Hall, where you'll find out
that you received an official offer of
assistance from Tinto, and along with Jess's
Muse army, we've gained about 7,000 more men.
(If you chose to run away earlier, you'll
then be introduced to Boris Wizen, Ridley's son. He has taken Ridley's place
including his Star of Destiny. Boris joins!)
Shu tells you that you can now compete with Highland on equal terms, so the
time has come to re-take Greenhill since the Highland Army is gathered in
Muse. Yuber is in command of the Highland Army in Greenhill; Apple says he has
taken part in several major wars on this continent, coming from nowhere and
disappearing just as mysteriously. Sheena recommends making himself a
vice-general and attacking Greenhill.
Choose any option, then Shu will

be. That night when you regain control, o----------------------------------o
you'll need to head around your castle
and talk to some of your allies before heading back to bed; just viewing one
scene will be enough, but there are several. You can view the second part of
Nina and Flik's meeting on the roof if you saw the first one; you can also
talk to Chaco on the stairway from the second to first floor, as well as Rina,
Eilie, and Bolgan near your Stone Tablet on the first floor. Gengen and
Gabocha are gathering Kobolds near the exit to the southern part of the
castle, and Freed and Yoshino are talking to each other about the battle at
your Inn. Tsai and Tomo will be in the same spot Gengen and Gabocha were after
seeing Freed, if you want to check that out too.
After you're done viewing these events, make your way back up to your room,
where a strange woman will be waiting for you, wondering if you're the leader
of your army.
Choose either option, and the woman, Lucia, will

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

attempt to assassinate you!

that security be increased so this
doesn't happen again. He also tells you that the preparations for liberating
Greenhill are complete. Hauser, Viktor, and Flik are going to slow down any
enemy forces coming from Muse while Kiba and Klaus liberate Greenhill. He'll
ask for your order to deploy.
Choose option 2, then he'll ask who
you'd like to accompany. If you
choose 1, go to s1.mb10a to
continue. If you choose 2, go to
s1.mb10b to continue. If you choose
3, go to s1.mb10c to continue.
Personally, I love the war battles,
especially the music, so I'm going
with Kiba to take Greenhill! But if
you are on a limited time schedule, or
your army gets killed, choose option 3

o-------------------------------------o
| [1] Wait a minute.
|
| [2] Okay, let's go.

|

|
| trying to keep you from entering. Once you defeat the three front units, |
| or if you just get tired of doing that, send everyone in at once, making |
| sure to get rid of the magic unit as soon as you can, since they can make |
| it difficult, attacking anyone within 3 squares of them. Once you either |
| get rid of their bow unit or their magic unit, you should be able head

|

|
|
|
| Pick option 2 again. Next, you'll
o-----------------------------------o |
| hear that Yuber and Lucia, the

(- NOTE -) Once you regain control, go back


to Headquarters, saving if you like. To make
the next boss battle easier, buy Wind Runes
from Jeane, then take them over to Raura and
have her turn them into scrolls. The next
boss is weak against Wind, so once you've
turned the runes into scrolls, equip 1 scroll
of The Shredding to each character. This
should help make quick work of the upcoming
boss!
The gate here at Greenhill is barricaded
pretty well, so we can't enter the city.
Teresa will decide to take you into the city
through the secret forest paths. Shin will
think that it's too dangerous, and will want
to go with her.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Sure.
|
| [2] Nope.
|
o-------------------------------------------o
I recommend choosing 2 to leave Shin behind,
as he will become an irremovable part of your
party if you do, but you can put him in your
convoy if you want to, if you choose 1. In
any case, choose your remaining party, then
you'll head off to the forest. (I'm taking
Flik, Viktor, Sheena, Killey, and Luc.) Make
sure to read my note above for preparing for
the next boss!
-------

(- NOTE -) The TargetGirl here can drop the


Waking Rune and the Nymph Rune, the
HollyFairy can drop the Dryad Rune, and the groups of Highlands here can
possibly drop the Iron Boots; this is the only place in the game to get more
Iron Boots (Pesmerga comes equipped with them, but they cannot be removed.
Even though you can revisit the forest later, the Highland soldiers are no
longer here once you can). Most importantly of all, the DoremiElf (any color)
can drop Recipe #34, the acclaimed Recipe that is very hard to get. As with
the other dropped Recipes (Recipe #12, Recipe #21, Recipe #29, Recipe #34, and
Recipe #36), once you get it, make sure it says in your Storehouse until you
get all five. You can come back here later to fight the regular enemies, but
like I said, the Highlands will disappear, giving you limited time if you
wanted any extra Iron Boots.
If you still didn't get the Recipe after following everything I recommended,
I apologize. If you have a Gameshark, Codebreaker, or PEC, you can use a code
to get this Recipe; see www.suikosource.com for this code.
-------

In the forest, head east and follow the path to the next area, where you'll
run into some Highland soldiers. Take them out, then continue north to the
next area. You'll be in an open area / fork; take the eastern path as it goes
north first, and you should come across two chests containing [_WINGED BOOTS_]
and a [_DREAM ROBE_]. Go back, then take the western path as it heads north.
Get the [_STONE OF SKILL_] off to the west and north first, then continue
northeast to the next area. There are no more items, so keep following the
path until you run into another set of Highlands, then after that, Lucia and
some Karayans will challenge you.

o--------------------------------o a strong 'all' spell such as Earthquake |
|
or The Shredding to take out the
|
| Karayans, then concentrate on attacking just Lucia with your strongest
|
| attacks and magic. Use Great Blessing / Battle Oath with Hero to stay
|
| healed, and she should fall very quickly; she's fairly easy compared to
|
| what we're up against next.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, you'll learn from Lucia that Gorudo and Teresa's father Alec
had poisoned Lucia's father at a peace conference, and have always oppressed
the Karaya tribe. Teresa then tries to console her, telling her that we're
different than the past leaders, and she'll look into it once the war is over.
She'll let you pass, so continue following the path here as it turns west and
south to a group of Highlands, then eventually into the cabin that Teresa once
hid in. Once you're past that, you'll only have to take on one more group of
Highlands before you reach the Academy.
Make your way through the Academy and exit to the south, but before going to
the next screen, talk to the student on the right to completely recover, then
talk to the soldier on the left to save your game. Once you're ready, head all
the way south to the entrance of town, fighting groups of Highland soldiers
along the way. Eventually, you'll find Yuber, who'll demonically appear before
you. He'll summon a dark creature to take you on!
o--------------------------------o
o----------o
| Bone Dragon
Potch: 100,000 |
| * BOSS * |
o--------------------------------o--------------------------------o----------o
|
|
| This guy is tough! If you prepared for this boss as I recommended, turning |
| several Wind Runes into scrolls and equipping The Shredding onto each of |
| your party members, this battle should go much smoother, since the big guy |
| is weak against Wind. Start off by having Hero cast Guardian Earth on his |
| Mother Earth Rune to help protect you, then have EVERYONE cast The
|
| Shredding. On your second turn, have Hero heal with Battle Oath, then cast |
| an entire second turn of The Shredding. If Luc is with you and he has the |
| Cyclone Rune equipped, don't have Hero heal; have everyone but Luc use The |
| Shredding, then have Luc cast Shining Wind on the second turn to heal
|
| everyone. Your level should be high enough to where Luc has two level 4
|
| spells, so you could do this two turns in a row. If you follow this
|
| strategy, he should take only two turns to fall. If not, just attack with |
| what you have and have Hero heal every round. The Bone Dragon has two
|
| different attacks that hit your entire party for MAJOR damage, but luckily |

| he will only attack once per round.


|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, Yuber and the rest of the Highland Army will retreat, and
Greenhill will be yours once again! The citizens then rejoice, as their Lady
Teresa has come back and kept her promise just like she said she would!
Fitcher will then give you an urgent message from Shu, saying that you need to
return to the castle as soon as possible. Kiba recommends leaving some troops
here just in case, then he will join your convoy.
o----------------o
| -Headquarters- |
o-----------------------------------------------------------o----------------o
You'll learn from Klaus that the Matilda Knights have surrendered to Highland.
While we were attacking Greenhill, all of the enemy leaders made appearances
in the battle, but all of the soldiers themselves headed for the Matilda
territory, and Gorudo surrendered almost immediately, making them puppets
under Highland's control. Apple will then suggest attacking Muse.
Before continuing on, we can finish

With Viktor in tow, go to the Blacksmith and


talk to the man in blue; he is Tessai, and
he's looking for a sword that will inspire
him, like the Star Dragon Sword or the Dragon
King Sword, at which point he'll notice our
sharp little buddy, though Viktor fails to
see the brilliance in it, calling it a junky old sword. The sword will
unsheathe and start to act like he's going to punish Viktor, but Tessai will
plead with the Star Dragon Sword enough to keep him from doing anything.
He'll then ask to join your group.
Choose 1 to finally recruit a Blacksmith for your castle!
(Best line of the game; when the Sword comments to Viktor
about swinging him too violently, at which point he
replies "What?!!! If I don't thump an enemy hard enough,
he won't go down. It's your fault! Your fault!!!" Haha...
You don't thump people with a legendary sword like the Star

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

Now that you have recruited your 101st Star of Destiny, your castle should be
at level 4, allowing us to recruit 4 more characters that we couldn't until
now (the last 4). To check, go back to Headquarters and enter your bath; if
the Jungle Bath is available, it's level 4!

(- NOTE -) If you recruited Valeria instead of Kasumi earlier, you can now go
to Rokkaku and recruit both Mondo and Sasuke, but only if your castle is level
4.

joins! Next, make your way to the northern area of Greenhill, then head to the
area north of the dorms, where you'll find a boy and a [_PIGLET_] running
around; examine the Piglet to obtain it. Next, go into the dorms and head down
to the basement. Talk to the old man here and he'll give you
[_OLD BOOK VOL. 10_]. Next, go into the Academy and visit the Rune Class; the
Runemaster here will give you a [_RAGE RUNE_]. The Blacksmith Class is next;
talk to the boy on the right, and he'll give you the [_SILVER HAMMER_] that we
can give to Tessai (but only if we recruited him first; otherwise you'll need
to go recruit him before it's offered to you)! This will let him sharpen our
weapons to level 15!
Talk to Jude in the top right corner of the Blacksmith Class; he'll mention
that he's run out of clay. Let's make a quick trip to Forest Village so we can
recruit him.

tells you that he forgot to grab

That's it for Forest Village, so let's go back and recruit Jude now.

Now that you have the Clay, make your way

the Clay, and will ask what he can do for you
in return.

Choose 1, and Jude will join your party! All right,

doing that, head out to the World Map outside of

look for his lost companions, Annallee and
Pico.

CHOOSE 1, otherwise Alberto will run


off, and even after a quick search of

path is pretty straightforward though.) Once
you get to that room, head down the
easternmost slide, then to the one to the
right of that as well. Head left from there, going down that slide, then going
up the hill to your left and back over to Mazus; he'll tell you that he's not
taking any apprentices at the moment.
Choose 1, and Mazus, the arch enemy of Crowley, will o---------------------o

characters that can join you at level 99. If he does...... wow. You've got

does!

Make your way to the very end of the Cave (if


you need directions for some reason, refer
back earlier in the guide, the path is pretty
straightforward though). Once you reach the
place where you found the Star Dragon Sword,
you will find our old friend Pesmerga
waiting. Just as it was the last time we recruited him, he's still looking for
Yuber, then he'll recognize you.
Choose 1 to recruit Pesmerga
(you can keep choosing 2, but

o--------------------------------------------o
| [1] Ummm....would you join us?
|

you'll eventually have to


choose 2 to continue). His
true goal is to find Yuber,
but he can join you while he
is looking for him. Pesmerga
joins! He'll then ask if you
want him to come with you
right now; choose either
option. That's it for this
area, so head teleport back
to Headquarters.

| [2] Did you say Yuber?


|
o--------------------------------------------o

(- NOTE -) Like Hoi, L.C.Chan, Georg, and Mazus, Pesmerga is the last
character that can join your party at level 99. If he does, he is STRONG.
To get our last recruit, someone in our party's weapon must be at least level
14; to do this, either give the Silver Hammer to Tessai and sharpen Hero's or
anyone in your active party's weapon to at least 14, or bring Pesmerga with
you, as his weapon should be enough to convince him. Once you're ready, take
your boat out and head over to Coronet.

here and he'll examine it; if
your weapon, or someone else in your party's weapon is at level 14 or above,
he'll say that you're serious about war, and that your strength has been
forged through hard battle. Genshu will then join your army! You should now
have all 108 Stars of Destiny!!! That is all for recruiting, so leave here and

to follow her. Head into the Academy, then make your way to the exit to the
secret path, and once you're out there, head to the next area to find Jowy!
Nanami will wonder why he's here, and he'll ask you once again to leave the
army and run away, as he doesn't want to fight you.
Choose either option, then Nanami will ask
o---------------------------o
Jowy to just leave Highland, then she'll ask
| [1] I'm sorry....I can't. |
him to just take his troops out of Muse, since | [2] ..................... |
he's the King of Highland now, but he can't do o---------------------------o
that either. Since you and Jowy both obtained
your runes, you've been destined to fight each other, and as King of Highland,
he's going to fight to bring a new order to this land, then will leave.
Make your way back to the dorms now, where you'll find that the preparations
for invading Muse are complete. Ready?
Once you're ready, choose 1 to

In Muse, Klaus and Hauser both think that


something seems wrong, so Viktor decides that
you should look around. He'll convoy join
you, then you'll regain control. Head into
the city and make your way to city hall. The
soldier mentions that he thought he saw a
shadow inside, so go inside to find a huge Golden Wolf!

Head out of the city hall to see several of the beasts throughout Muse! Don't
bother trying to fight them; they respawn every time. Once you make it to the
outside of the city, you'll learn from Luc that the wolves are servants of the
Beast Rune, the rune that was passed down to Highland when it was divided from
Harmonia. Luca sacrificed the people of Muse to that rune... the Beast Rune
can only be awakened with a blood sacrifice. Luckily, Luc thinks the rune has
been moved somewhere else, as he does not sense it here.
Fitcher will come running in, telling you that you are now under attack from
the north and east, and since Apple thinks that it's an ambush to the south
and west, she'll order everyone to attack to the north and try to escape.

Luckily, everyone will make it back to Headquarters in one piece. Everyone's
tired right now, so we'll have to come up with some ideas tomorrow about what
to do.
(- NOTE -) Before doing ANYTHING, SAVE YOUR GAME! Once you've done that, do
NOT overwrite it; you should have all 108 Stars of Destiny now, and we're
getting near the end of the game. This game save may be needed to access
momentarily if Leknaat does not unlock your level 4 spell, Forgiver Sign. To
be able to have this spell unlocked, you must have all 108 Stars of Destiny
before the next meeting that Shu arranges. IF YOU HAVEN'T RECRUITED ALL OF THE
OTHER STARS BEFORE THIS, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SO!
(- NOTE -) Make sure to finish both Kiba and Nanami's investigations through
Richmond, if you haven't done so already.
When you regain control, head up to Shu's room on the fourth floor. You will
see Kiba and Shu talking; Shu tells him that the next battle will determine
the outcome of the war, and he wants Kiba to attack Viktor's old fort, which
should help split the Highland Army away from Matilda so they can attack. Kiba
decides that he will take only the soldiers who followed him from Highland,
and will ask Shu to take care of his son for him...
Go in and talk to Shu; he tells you that he's formed a new strategy, and will
tell you it will be their hardest battle yet, but they must do it to succeed.
He'll then await your orders.
Unless you need to do something else first,
o---------------------------o
choose 1 to continue. Shu will ask everyone to | [1] We'll fight...
|
meet in the Great Hall. Once there, Shu will
| [2] I can't... Not yet... |
give everyone the battle plan, with Kiba
o---------------------------o
trying to split part of the army with his
attack on Viktor's old fort while we take Matilda. You'll then hear inspiring

words from several members of your army, you'll look around and say...
Leknaat will then appear, telling
o--------------------------------------o
you that the 108 Stars of Destiny
| [1] Everyone, loan me your strength! |
and the bearer of the Bright Shield o--------------------------------------o
Rune have been assembled, so she
will break the seal on your rune, unlocking your level 4 spell, Forgiver Sign.
Nanami will wake you up the next morning, telling you that Kiba's army is
about to leave, so we must see them off. You'll automatically go to the
entrance, where Kiba and Klaus will with each other fortune in the next battle
before Kiba departs. You'll then regain control.
(- NOTE -) Make sure that Nanami does not have any important equipment or
runes before continuing. However, make sure that she has the strongest
equipment you can buy, meaning a Silver Hat, a Magic Robe, and three Capes of
Darkness. Also make sure that you spend time fighting in the next area to
where she's at a decent level, somewhat near you. To be able to obtain the
good ending, she must have a high enough DEF when the time is right, among
other things, and with this setup, you will have enough.
Before continuing on, pick a party of six that you want to have while invading
Matilda; Nanami must be a part of it, so read my note above to make sure she
is prepared. Once you have your party picked out and customized to your liking
(upgraded weapons, armor, and runes), make your way up to the Great Hall. Shu
will tell you that they're going to Greenhill first, then to Matilda.
If you want to rearrange your army units,
choose 1 first to rearrange them. (I won't
just yet, as the next battle is timed for a
Highland retreat anyway.) When you are
ready, choose 1 to engage the Highland Army
at Matilda.

|
| The Highland Army will retreat at the end of their third turn, so make
|

|
| turns. At the end of your second turn, Culgan's army will show up to your |
| southeast, but luckily for us, we'll get some reinforcements after the end |
| of their third turn, making Jowy think he's been outmaneuvered, and he'll |
| order the retreat.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, you'll find out that our reinforcements were just the
regular castle folk! You'll then go to Greenhill, where Shu will unveil the
last part of his plan for Matilda; while our army engages Highland away from
Rockaxe, we're going to infiltrate it. During the last battle, some of our
soldiers were able to sneak into Gorudo's army, and they will be able to let
us enter the castle, where we will burn the Highland flag and raise our own,
leading the Matilda Knights to believe that we've taken Rockaxe so they'll
turn on Highland. Shu will ask you to pick your group; Nanami wants to go too.
Choose 1 once, or 2 three times to continue;
Nanami has to come. After that, choose the rest
of your party, then Shu will ask if you're ready
to go.

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

If you still need to get your party ready,

you have them all, give them to Hai Yo now.
After being let into Rockaxe, you'll learn
that General Kiba was mortally wounded at
Viktor's fort... When you regain control
inside of the castle, head north to the next
area, then west to find a ladder and a chest
containing a [_STONE OF SPEED_]. Climb the
ladder to be at a fork; head east first to a
dead-end with an [_ESCAPE TALISMAN_]. Go back
and head west now, following the path as it
goes up another ladder, then west through
another area to a small room with a downward
ladder and a door. Head north through the
door first to find two chests containing a
[_CRIMSON CAPE_] and a [_STONE OF DEFENSE_].

Go back to the last fork and descend the


ladder, then head north, following the path
as it goes up another ladder, then across the
outside of the castle, then to another fork
with a downward ladder and a door. The ladder
actually leads to a dead-end, so continue
north through the door, following the path
through this hall to another fork. Head east
first, where you'll find an [_EARTH SHIELD_],
then go back and descend the ladder to be at
yet another fork. Heading south will net you
the [_POWER GLOVES_] at the dead-end, so grab
those, then go back and head east, then south two screens to be on the outside
of the castle.
Head east, then inside the castle once again; once you go through the next set
of doors, you'll be at another fork. Go all the way north, then west first to
find a chest with a [_FLAME HELMET_] in the corner, then check the two rooms
below you to find a [_GOLD NECKLACE_] and a [_MEGA MEDICINE_] with M-Knights
getting in your way. Once you have the treasures, leave the rooms to the
south, then continue west and north to the next area, fighting M-Knights along
the way.

At the fork here on the second floor, south leads to a dead-end, so make your
way east, then south to another fork. Ignore the stairs for now, following the
path south for more annoying M-Knights, as well as two more chests in a room;
[_DRAGON PLANS #4_] and [_UNICORN PLANS #4_]. Now head back and make your way
up to the next floor.
USE THE SAVE POINT HERE, AND DO NOT OVERWRITE THIS SAVE! I can't stress this
enough; if something goes wrong in the next few minutes, and chances are that
it will at first, you'll need to reload your save and try again, as your
chances of getting the good ending can be dashed! Once you save, head south
out to the balcony, take care of more M-Knights, then go back in through the
other side. Just as you go ascend the stairs to the next floor, you'll hear
the White Knights start approaching, so your party will stay behind to fight
as you go to find the flag.
Go inside the door up here, and you and Nanami will walk along a hall a bit
before running into Jowy once again. This time, he tells you that he can't let
you pass.
Choose either option to have Nanami
o----------------------------------o
throw a fit, wondering why you must
| [1] It seems we must fight...
|
fight each other. Jowy tells you that
| [2] I don't want to fight you... |
both you and he have many people with
o----------------------------------o
their hopes resting in each of them,
and that the land isn't big enough for both Highland and the City-State. He
wants to establish one mighty nation in the land that has nothing to do with
Highland or the State, so peace can be at hand.
Once again, pick either option, and
o-------------------------------------o
Jowy will decide that they must
| [1] That's why... Why I fight...
|
settle this. Before anything happens | [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
though, Gorudo and his knights will
o-------------------------------------o
show up, and he'll be happy to see
you two fighting so he can kill us both and take the land for Matilda! For the
next choice, it doesn't matter what you pick, JUST HIT X AS QUICKLY AS YOU
CAN! Failure to do so will result in you not getting the good ending!
JUST HIT X AS FAST AS YOU CAN! If the choice goes by and
Hero doesn't whip out his weapon, you cannot get the good
ending. After you and Nanami both prepare yourself for the
attack, she'll block the first three arrows, but the
fourth will strike her, wounding her... Gorudo must pay...

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

|
and his pathetic group of M-Knights are |

|
| Black Sword Rune; cast Forgiver Sign with Hero and Hungry Friend with
|
| Jowy, then after the first turn, cast Hungry Friend or Piercing One once |
| more, or attack him normally to take him out. You should be strong enough |
| to not have to worry, but if you have to, have Hero cast Battle Oath the |
| second turn to heal yourselves.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

After Gorudo has fallen, you'll check on Nanami; she'll be happy to see the
gentle face of Jowy once again, then Jowy will take off, asking you to take
care of her. She tells you that she'll be okay, but she wants to hear you call
her 'Big Sister' just once.
Choose either option, then she'll
o-------------------------------------o
tell you that even though you aren't | [1] Big Sister...
|
related, you're really a family, and | [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
she's glad to be Genkaku's child,
o-------------------------------------o
your sister, and Jowy's friend...
She'll then pass out. Shu comes in and sees you with her, and will order the
troops to burn the flag while the others go find a doctor. You'll then see the
flag burning, as well as Hauser and Ridley convincing the Matilda Knights to
rebel against Highland. Jowy will come in and ask everyone to retreat,
hopefully giving you time to help Nanami. Huan will take a look at her, and
since she's still breathing, he'll recommend getting her back to Headquarters
as quickly as possible.
Back at
waiting
to have
to save

Headquarters, several of your friends will be gathered around you,


to hear news about Nanami. Talk to a few of them to pass enough time
Dr. Huan come out... and he'll tell you that he wasn't strong enough
her.

(- NOTE -) After everyone's initial reaction, Dr. Huan SHOULD ask Shu to speak
with him inside of the room. If he does not do this, something was done wrong
and you will not get the good ending! If this is the case, reload your game,
making sure that you DID unlock Forgiver Sign, and you did choose an option
very quickly when Nanami is about to defend the arrows! If you did that and
this still happened, then she probably needs to have a higher defense; equip
her with better armor and level her up so it's high enough. This is all
assuming that you unlocked Forgiver Sign to begin with; it's impossible to get
the good ending if you did not.

There are several things to do now that Highland has retreated back to their
own land. First, put a party together (including Clive), then make your way to
the Muse area.

* CLIVE'S STORY *

There's no time limit for this event, but you


must've seen the previous event in Radat to
see this one. Make your way up to Jowston
Hill, where you'll find Elza waiting for
Clive. He'll ask her one last time why she killed his brother; she tells him
that she started to grow to hate the people in the Howling Voice Guild due to
their lust for power, and so she took care of that in Clive's friend Kelley
with her guns, Moon and Star. As she goes to leave, Clive will threaten her
with his gun, telling her that she can't destroy the only thing he has left in
this world, the Guild. She somehow prevents Clive's gun, Storm, from firing
though, then she'll tell you to meet her in a small village west of Highland's
capital, L'Renouille, so Clive's story will pick back up in Sajah Village. We
must reach there by _20:00:59_.
------Pretty much everyone that used to be here is now gone... Make a stop at the
Armory above the Item Shop; the shopkeeper will give you some
[_SILVER ARMOR_]. Next, go to the second floor of the Rune Shop and talk to
the Runemaster here to obtain a [_FLOWING RUNE_]. Lastly, stop at the Tavern
and talk to the guy sitting at the table here to have him give you
[_OLD BOOK VOL. 12_]. That's it for Muse, so leave here, then make your way
to Matilda area.

(- NOTE -) As before, you can find


Thunder God Garbs in the Rare Finds of the
Armory, but now you can also find both the
Goldlet and Robe of the Mist here in the Rare
Finds as well.
Stop in at the Armory / Item Shop first; the
Armory has some new armor available, so be
sure to check that out. Also, you can now go
down to the basement of the shops here, so
head down there and check the bookshelf to
find [_OLD BOOK VOL. 11_]. Once you're ready,
head into the castle itself through the
entrance near the Rune Shop.

Head all the way to the area where Nanami fell and you fought Gorudo, then
continue east past this hallway to the next area. Talk to the Blue Knight
here, and he'll give you a [_THUNDER RUNE_] that he found in Gorudo's office.
Head up the stairs here, then follow the path to Gorudo's office, where you'll
find a chest containing an [_EARTH ARMOR_]. Also, make sure to check his
bookshelf for [_RECIPE #37_]. That's it for Rockaxe, so leave here and go back
out to the World Map.
If you bring Futch and Humphrey with you, you can return to Rakutei Mountain
if you wish. You'll want to if you missed Turtle Plans #3 earlier.

The SkyKnight will drop Turtle Plans #3 in
place of the HawkMan, in case you missed it
earlier in the game. As for the other
enemies, they really don't drop anything
notable. This is a good place to level up,
but you must bring Humphrey and Futch along.

That's it for extras, so let's go back to Headquarters and continue the story.

Make your way to the Great Hall and talk to Shu; he'll tell you that Highland
has retreated back to their own territory, and recommends that you attack
Highland and eliminate the root to the whole war.
Choose either option and he'll tell
o-----------------------------------o
you that both Highland and the
| [1] The root of the war?....
|
City-State haven't gotten too big, so
| [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
war is inevitable. He'll then ask for
o-----------------------------------o
your permission to invade Highland.
| [1] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
Whenever you're ready to continue,
| [2] I can't.......
|
choose option 3. Go out to the hall,
| [3] Okay, let's do it.....
|
where you'll just collapse. Freed Y
o-----------------------------------o
will find you after a few moments,
then the scene will switch to Highland, where you'll find Jowy inspiring his
troops by providing his wife Jillia as a sacrifice to the Beast Rune! Luckily,
it's just a doll they're using to carry the plan out. You'll also see Jowy
start to collapse just like you did.
Back at Headquarters, some of your friends will be surrounding you, freaked
out that something happened to you. They'll decide to let you get some rest
since you're getting ready to invade Highland. When you regain control that
night, go down to Shu's room on the fourth floor to find Apple going inside.
Shu tells her that he knew the plan for attacking Muse was going to fail,
with her only having a 50-50 chance of succeeding, but either way it would've
worked for him, as his plans would be disguised if she lost. He'll then ask
her to choose one of the three cards on the table; she will choose the fire
card, then will go to sleep. Make your way back up to your room and rest.
After you regain control the next morning, go to the Great Hall to have
everyone gathered once again. Shu will ask you to deploy the troops to
L'Renouille.
Choose option 2 to hear some cheers from your
friends, then you'll get to say...
o------------------------------------o
| [1] We're off!!! To L'Renouille!!! |
o------------------------------------o

o--------------------------o
| [1] Hold on a minute.... |
| [2] Okay.
|
o--------------------------o

After seeing your troops move out, you'll be in the forest near the Highland
Border, where you'll learn that the Highland Army, led by Leon Silverberg, is
approaching. Shu lets you know of the plan, and after everyone departs, Shu
and Viktor will commence their own plan, then you'll enter your second to last
major battle.
o---------o
o------------------------------o
| s1.mb13 |
| Major Battle - The Fire Card |
o---------o-----------------------------------o------------------------------o
|
|
| There's absolutely nothing to do in this battle; just watch the action as |
| it unfolds until both Shu and Leon Silverberg are surrounded by a wall of |
| fire.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

In the forest, Shu will meet with Leon; they'll bicker back and forth several
times, with Shu wondering why Leon helped destroy the Scarlet Moon Empire
three years ago, but is helping Highland now. The fire will grow more out of
control, then you'll be back to you and Apple; she now realizes that it's
because she drew the fire card that this is how Shu was going to go. But
before she can run in after him to try to find him, Viktor will show up, with
Shu! He claims that he was supposed to die here, but Viktor wouldn't let him.
He then orders you to head to L'Renouille to take Highland, and will leave
Apple in charge.
At the Muse-Highland Border, you'll take a break. Take this time to talk to
Hilda first to rest and save your game, then talk to Apple once again.
Choose option 3 to rearrange your units for the
final battle. Listed below is the setup I'm going
to be using:

o----------------------o
| [1] Not yet.
|
| [2] Let's go.
|
| [3] Rearrange units. |
o----------------------o

This is my personal setup; you o----------o----------o----------o----------o


don't have to use it, but with | Hero
| Viktor | Ridley | Kasumi |
it, you'll have 6 main groups
| Hanna
| Tai Ho | Shu
| Humphrey |
that you'll want to attack
| Oulan
| Shin
| Chaco
| Miklotov |
with; Viktor, Ridley, Hauser,
o----------o----------o----------o----------o
Georg, Max, and Gilbert. All
| Hauser | Georg
| Max
| Gilbert |
of them have over 10 attack,
| Yam Koo | Apple
| Gijimu | Pesmerga |
as well as 8 defense (except
| Huan
| Camus
| Lo Wen | Tuta
|
Max's 7), so you'll want to
o----------o----------o----------o----------o
use them as the main force. Of | Flik
| Teresa | Ayda
| Luc
|
all of those, Viktor is the
| Tsai
| Jess
| Freed Y | Klaus
|
only one who cannot move 2
| Koyu
| Lorelai | Emilia | Annallee |
squares. Everyone else is just o----------o----------o----------o----------o
put wherever there's room,
| Mazus
|
except for Luc and Mazus, who
| Jeane
|
you'll be using to attack from | Adlai
|
afar before engaging them up
o----------o
close. Hero's unit is one of
the ones furthest back, so the rest of your army will probably already be at
L'Renouille before he even gets to do anything. Ridley and Georg will be your
two strongest units here, so make good use of them.
Once you're ready, pick option 2 to head into the final battle.
o---------o
o----------------------------o
| s1.mb14 |
| Major Battle - L'Renouille |
o---------o-------------------------------------o----------------------------o
|
|
| You'll be up against Seed, Culgan, Yuber, Lucia, and Han Cunningham,
|
| Genkaku's old friend. To win this battle, all we need to do is step foot |
| in L'Renouille. To start with, try to get your archers and mages out front |
| so you can attack them before you get to meet. If you want to take a more |
| direct path, send Viktor, Ridley, Hauser, Georg, Max, and Gilbert
|
| directly into the fray; they should crush the normal troops along the way |
| until you run into Seed, Culgan, Lucia, or Han. After your third turn,
|
| Yuber decides that this battle is not worth it, and will just leave,
|
| making your chances that much better! Try to save your special attacks
|
| such as the Wind / Fire / Lightning Runes, Fire Spear, etc. for Seed,
|
| Culgan, and Lucia for when you get close to the city; all you have to do |
| is get them to either move away from the city entrance or destroy that
|

| unit, then enter the city with any of your units to end the battle.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Once you are done with the battle, you'll be in L'Renouille, and will have to
choose your party. Now, before going through L'Renouille, we need to stop at
Sajah Village to the northwest; bring Clive with you.

nowhere else to put this, but you can access Kyaro and the North Sparrow Pass
once again; if you'd like to get some more Double-Beat Runes, head over to the
North Sparrow Pass and take out some CutRabbits to try to get them. Lastly,
you can visit Tenzan Pass now, but there's really no reason to; the enemies
there are pretty tough, and they don't have any notable item drops that you
can't get somewhere else easier, unless you're into Paintings.

* CLIVE'S STORY *

(TIME MUST BE AT OR BEFORE _20:00:59_)

If Clive is with you, as soon as you walk in the village, he will walk up to
Elza, who says that it's time to finish this. There will be a duel between
Gunners, so he'll have to put Storm down, as he won't shoot her. She'll ask
him to pick between Star, which represents trust, and Moon, which represents
betrayal. Clive will choose Star, then the duel will begin... and after
shouting some phrases at each other, the duel will end just as quickly as it
begun, with Elza lying on the ground, wounded.
She'll then tell him that there weren't any bullets in her gun, and that she
wishes she would've died with pride as a Gunner the day she shot Kelley.
Clive's gun, Storm, is the only gun in the world with a soul in it, and it
was supposed to go to Kelley, but it chose her instead, so they had to settle
the matter with a duel, in which she killed Kelley. The guns were loaded the
same as they were today, and knowing that there were no bullets inside, he
chose Moon anyway. Just as Clive goes up to her, she'll tell him that she was
just messing with him, and will fire Moon up into the air, and will ask him
to take care of Storm, as he's its keeper now. Clive will then fall to her
side as she passes on...

Codebreaker, or PEC, use this code to bring your time to 19:58:00.

Got your attention? Good.


If you have been following my guide since the start, you should have all 108
Stars, as you would not have gained the Forgiver Sign had you not. All of the
following is completely optional, but if you're going for a perfect game, or
are preparing for Suikoden III, 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 finishing L'Renouille.
- Leveling up. This should be really easy to do in either Rockaxe or
L'Renouille. You will want to level up the party you'll be using in the
final battle, and you will also want to level up all of the characters who
will be returning to Suikoden III, and will fight then, not just open up a
shop or something. There are only a very select few that will be returning
in Suikoden III; these people are Viki, Futch, Meg (through her daughter
Belle), and Gadget (through Gadget Z).
I recommend getting them all to level 52 or higher, which is quite easy at

Rockaxe. You will also want to get all of their weapons to level 16; again,
fight at Rockaxe for money. You can either get all of them leveled up in
just one group if you like, bringing along someone strong to help out as
they level.
You can put armor on them if you really want to, but only Level matters. It
won't carry over at these levels, but they will give them a boost in
Suikoden III so they're higher than they would be. You can do whatever you
want to with anyone else in the game.
- Give all of the Hammers (Iron, Copper, Silver, and Golden) to Tessai in his
shop at the top right area of the main entrance to your castle.

Silver Hammer - Given to you by a student in the Blacksmith Class after
Greenhill has been liberated. Tessai must have been

Golden Hammer - Found in the Rare Finds of the Item Shop in Sajah Village.

neighbor in the right house will give you this.

Unicorn Plans #3 - There is a set of neighbors near the armory in Tinto; the
neighbor in the left house will give you this.
Unicorn Plans #4 - Found in a chest in Rockaxe during its liberation.
In addition to giving him these plans, you can also come up with a Guardian
Deity for your castle. There are several combinations, with the result
giving you an item. I have listed a few combinations below, as these items
can either only be gotten this way, or they won't be available until the
very end of the game (except the Friendship Rune). If you would like to see
more combinations, check out the Guardian Deity List by Sir Aronar at
www.gamefaqs.com. I personally recommend either the Friendship Rune, as it
is easily the second most useful weapon rune in the game (second to the
Kindness Rune), or if you like to farm for items, the Hunter Rune, as you
cannot get this until after you've beaten the final boss.
Item Received - Head / Body / Legs / Tail
Hunter Rune - Unicorn / Unicorn / Turtle / Unicorn
Friendship Rune - Turtle / Turtle / Dragon / Unicorn
Prosperity Rune AND Fortune Rune - Rabbit / Turtle / Rabbit / Turtle
Dragon Incense AND Fortune Rune - Dragon / Rabbit / Dragon / Rabbit
Dragon Incense AND Blue Gate Rune - Dragon / Turtle / Dragon / Unicorn
The Prosperity Rune doubles the amount of money gained after battle, the
Fortune Rune doubles the amount of EXP gained after battle, the Dragon
Incense will recover 50 HP of all party members when equipped and used in
battle (with infinite uses), the Hunter Rune will make an enemy drop an
item 100% of the time if the hit connects, and the Friendship Rune boosts
your ATT when attached to your weapon; the more Stars of Destiny you have,
the higher the ATT.
- There are several mini-games, two of which have already been gone into
detail with Yam Koo's Fishing and Hai Yo's Cook-offs. There are four more:
Chinchirorin - This can be played with Shilo in the westernmost room on the
first floor of your castle. The only prize here is money.
Whack-A-Mole - This can be played with Tony at his garden at the easternmost
area of the castle on the first floor. The prizes here are
Mole Helmets, Mole Shields, and Mole Suits.
Dancing with Karen - This can be played with Karen in the back room of the
Stage, the first room on the right on your second floor
after exiting the elevator. You can hold the SELECT
button down the whole time to be able see which buttons
you have to hit next. You'll receive different Statues
and Paintings of Karen as prizes here. Good luck!
Rope Climbing Game - This can be played with a soldier above Hai Yo's
kitchen. Notable prizes include Turtle Plans #4,
Celadon Urns, Goldlets, and Taikyoku Wear.
- There are hundreds of investigations to be done by Richmond; by no stretch
of the imagination that I think you should uncover every little secret to
every character in the game, but it is there for those of you who wanna try.
- You can unlock a fifth level of Bath by entering the Jungle Bath 20 times;

the Open-Air Bath.


- There are 2 side quests to do, if you haven't done so already; recruiting
all four of Mukumuku's friends, and recruiting McDohl. Check out sections
s1.sq1 and s1.sq2 respectively after the walkthrough section to do them.
- Lastly, there is the matter of the room in the Item Shop of Radat; you
cannot get up there... unless Viki accidentally sends you up there. IF you
are able to get in there, you will obtain a [_DRAGON ARMOR_], a
[_MOLE SUIT_], a [_MEGA MEDICINE_] that has 9 uses, a [_BLUE GATE RUNE_],
and a [_GOLD EMBLEM_]! Try to get sent there!
- If you need to prepare for anything else, do it now before continuing on.
There are several other small things that you can do; check out
www.suikosource.com for them.

|
| You'll be able to go back and recover, so |
| unload on her with Forgiver Sign and your |
| strongest magic attacks. She doesn't
|
| attack very hard, but she does attack
|
| three times per round, so stay healed if |
| she starts racking up the damage. I was |
| able to cast Thunder Storm with Flik,
|
| Forgiver Sign with Hero, and Blazing Camp |
| (Fire & Thunder combo) with Luc, as well |
| as an attack from Killey to take her out. |
|
|
o-------------------------------------------o
After the battle, Teresa and Shin will come
in, and she'll tell Lucia once again that she
plans on looking into her father's murder to
make things right; she'll turn around, giving
Lucia the chance to attack her, but she will
let her, as she knows Lucia won't hurt her
because she trusts her. Lucia will then drop
her knife and allow you to pass.

When you regain control, head back to


Headquarters and rest to replenish your MP,
then come back to continue. Head east first,
following the path as it turns north. You'll
eventually run into some Highlands; take them
out, then at this fork, head west into a
large room with several sections. The
southernmost section here has a chest with a
[_ROBE OF MIST_] inside, and the northernmost
section here has a chest containing a
[_BOLT OF WRATH_]. Grab it, then head back to the fork with the Highland
soldiers that you took out.
Head north now, running into another group of soldiers, then pass them, going
south and west to the next area. You'll be at another fork with a group of
Highlands; take them out, then head west, following the path as it goes north,
then around and south to another fork. Go east first to another area with
several sections similar to the eastern side. Get rid of the soldiers to the
north, then open the chest in that section for a [_FURY RUNE_]. Head back to
the last fork.
You can head south if you like; all it leads to is one more set of soldiers,
and the path back to the entrance, so just head back north and along that path
until you reach the room with the Highlands you previously defeated. Make your
way north through the double doors now, and you'll run into Han Cunningham. He
tells you that he and Genkaku couldn't stop the Bright Shield Rune and Black
Sword Rune from fighting after all, but they did buy it some time.
Choose either option, and the duel

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

that began between Han and Genkaku so


many years ago will continue here and
now!

| When Han says "___", he will Attack. Choose to use a Wild Attack.
|
|
|
| - And now it's my turn.
|
| - Foolish boy!!!
|
| - Ho ho ho.... You taught him well, Genkaku my friend....
|
| - I can't let you past here, son.
|
| - I may be old, but I haven't lost my sword arm.
|
| - Unf..... Your father would have been proud to see you today...
|
| - Very good, boy.
|
| - You can't defend yourself forever.
|
| - You can't win like that, boy.
|
| - You're a tough one....
|
|
|
| When Han says "___", he will Defend. Choose to Attack.
|
|
|
| - Genkaku............. You raised a good son....
|
| - I should have avoided that cheap little shot...
|
| - Let me see your power, Genkaku's son!!!
|
| - The leader of the (_____) Army is cautious I see....
|
| - Try that again, boy.
|
| - Unf...you like to take risks, eh.
|
| - Well struck.... It seems I should be more careful....
|
| - What will you do now, boy?
|
| - What's wrong? Want to try again?
|
| - You think you can beat me, boy?
|
|
|
| When Han says "___", he will use a Wild Attack. Choose to Defend.
|
|
|
| - Can you take this?
|
| - Let's bury our past here, boy!!
|
| - Let's see if you can withstand another of my blows!
|
| - Now feel my deadly sword.
|
| - Watch and learn, boy. Here's how to wield a sword!!!
|
| - Watch closely, boy!!
|
| - Yes, but can you defend against my sword!!!
|
| - You think my sword has lost it's bite!!!
|
| - You'll have to do better than that.
|
| - You've got spirit...
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After being defeated in the duel, Han will ask you what your name is.
Pick either option, and he will apologize
o-------------------------------o
to all of you and tell you that they
| [1] Hero.....
|
sealed their runes 25 years ago. He also
| [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
tells you that they were once one, but
o-------------------------------o
before he can tell you how they become
one, he'll fall to the ground, telling you that you're strong while he and
Genkaku weren't, and you'll walk past him as he speaks his last words.
Head up the stairs here, then turn around and head down two screens to a
four-way fork. West is a dead-end, and you came from the north, so let's head
east first. Take out the Highland soldiers at the first door you come to, then

take the other northern door, ignoring the path to the south as it leads to a
dead-end. Continue following the path through several doors until you reach a
fork; head west first, taking on more Highlands, until you reach a larger room
with two chests, one with the [_CHAMPION'S RUNE_] and the other with a
[_WIND AMULET_]. The north and bottom left doors both lead to dead-ends, so
return to the fork.
Continue north now, following this path as it goes
north, again ignoring the southern path that leads
a dead-end to the north to, but at least there are
[_STONE OF POWER_] and a [_STONE OF DEFENSE_]. Now
back to the four-way fork.

up more stairs, then head


to a dead-end. You'll reach
two chests in here; a
make your way all the way

Head south, and you'll be immediately attacked by more soldiers. After taking
them out, since east is a dead-end, head west to another fork; you can head
south and go outside if you like, there's just another group to fight out
there, but no treasure. Head north, following the path to another room with
two doors; the right is locked, so take the left and fight another group of
Highlands, then continue on to yet another fork. East is a dead-end again,
so continue north and up the stairs here to a fork, then head north, ignoring
the south once again. Fight off the next group of Highlands, ignore the room
to the north, then head west to the next area.
After following along, you should come to another fork; the room to the north
is empty, so head west and south to be outside. Take out the soldiers here as
well, then continue along to be back inside. Move east, wasting the soldiers
along the way, until you reach the next screen and turn to the north to face
even more of them. Head north past them to wind up in a carpeted hallway. The
westernmost room to the north has nothing in it, but the second has a
Journeyman's Crystal; you can save if you like, but you'll have another chance
to before the next boss battle. The room to the east of it has an
[_ESCAPE TALISMAN_], so be sure to grab that as well.
To the east is a fork; head south first, as the path will lead you a dead-end
outside that has a [_GOLDLET_] in a chest you may have seen earlier. Make your
way north now, and once you're up on the next floor, head south while stopping
at the second room on your right; the last chest here in L'Renouille is in
this room, and it contains [_WINDOW SET #7_].
Head south to the next area, then south and west to another fork. South will
lead to the platform where Jowy 'sacrificed' Jillia, so make your way north
instead. Keep following the path here until you go up another set of steps to
the next floor. Head north a bit to find another Journeyman's Crystal; make
sure to examine this one, even if you don't need to save, as it will heal you
as well! You should use it, as Culgan and Seed will be waiting for you ahead.
Take a few steps forward to meet them; they won't let you past them.
Choose 2 three times, or 1 once to take on
Culgan and Seed.

Thunder Rune (rare) | Start out by having Hero cast Guardian |
|
Rage Rune (rare) | Guardian Earth on his Mother Earth
|
o--------------------------------o Rune, then have Luc cast the strongest |
|
spells he has on them; Culgan does not |

| take as much damage from Lightning compared to the others, and Seed is
|
| strong against Fire, so I'd start out with Flik's and Luc's Thunder Runes |
| and the rest of your party's physical attacks on Seed, since he's not
|
| strong against Lightning like Culgan. Once Seed has been taken out, focus |
| the rest of your strongest attacks on Culgan, having Hero heal every
|
| round after the first with Battle Oath. Culgan can use his Water Rune to |
| heal, but he doesn't heal nearly enough to make that big of a difference, |
| and Seed will sometimes use his Water Rune to put a Magic Seal on
|
| everyone for the battle, which actually works in our favor, since we have |
| three strong fighters in Viktor, Sheena, and Killey.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Choose either option, then you'll
o--------------------------------------o
walk past a fallen Culgan and Seed, | [1] The outcome's already decided... |
who say their goodbyes to each
| [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
|
other; they had fun while it
o--------------------------------------o
lasted. You'll then see a scene
between Jowy, Pilika, and Jillia, where Jowy says goodbye to Pilika, and
will ask Jillia to take Pilika and run away to Harmonia, where they can start
new with new identities. Jowy will apologize for all that has happened, but
Jillia knew all along that he was just using her father and brother, but she
still loved him for what he was fighting for. After their tearful goodbye, you
will regain control. Head south back to the last screen, and use the
Journeyman's Crystal once again to recover and save.
(- NOTE -) If there's anything else you want to do in the game with complete
freedom, now is the time to do it. Also, if you want to use your save data for
Suikoden III, this is NOT the place for it; you'll have a chance to save after
defeating the Beast Rune, and that save will be used for the next game.

| Right Head
|

| Left Leg
| To defeat the final boss, we must take |
| Right Leg
| out the Rune itself and just the two
|
o--------------------------------o heads of the Beast Rune. First, cast
|
|
Guardian Earth on Hero's Mother Earth |
| Rune, then unleash your strongest magic and attacks on the Rune itself to |
| start with, since it is protecting the rest of its parts with a magic
|
| barrier. Once the Rune is gone, focus your attacks on the Right Leg, as it |
| will heal AND revive other parts of its body. After that, work on the Left |
| Leg, as it will cause some pretty bad status effects on us; Battle Oath / |
| Great Blessing should cure some of them. Once the Rune and Legs are out, |
| take out the heads while staying healed. He has several attacks, all of
|
| which hit pretty hard, so one turn may deplete your party's HP. If you
|
| have Sacrificial Jizos equipped (as shown in my setup earlier), you should |

| be able to make it through without dying. Just be careful of the attacks |


| from the Left Leg; the status I had most of a problem with was Silence
|
| on Hero and Luc, which can cripple your party's chances of taking him
|
| down. Stay healed throughout the battle with Battle Oath / Great Blessing, |
| and you should be able to tame the beast.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After defeating the Beast Rune, you'll head north to the throne room, where
you'll find Jowy's coat lying on the throne. The castle will then start to
crumble, so you'll need to head out.
Choose either option, as you'll be
o---------------------------------o
forced to escape if you don't want to

|
anyway. You'll see yourself running
| [2] No. We've got to find Jowy! |
through the castle to escape, then
o---------------------------------o
you'll see everyone outside worrying,
but you'll make a heroic run to safety in the nick of time! Everyone's happy
to see you, of course, then the screen will fade to white, and you'll be back
at Headquarters.

at either the Inn or the Journeyman's
Crystal beside the Great Hall; you can now
use this save in Suikoden III, if you like.
Now go to the Great Hall; everyone will be
here waiting for you, praising you for our
victory over Highland and they will want you to become the new leader of a
single, unified country, and everyone seems to be for it!
Choose option 3 to continue. If you want to see
the default ending for the game, choose option 1
to become the new leader and watch the credits
roll. If you do this, you'll see the ending, the

After entering town, go toward your house,


but before going inside, head all the way
north on the right side of your house to the
large tree where you found Mukumuku near the
start of the game. Examine the tree to find
the [_HUNTER RUNE_], the [_TRIO PAINTING_],
and [_30 POTCH_]. That's it for Kyaro, unless
you want to check the Rare Finds of the Item
Shop or something, so leave here, then head
northwest of Kyaro to the Tenzan Pass, where
it all began...

o--------o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
Head west when you enter, then continue following along to the next screen,
where you'll find a fork to your north; continue west, and you should start
to see some familiar territory from the beginning of the game. Continue along
the path until you reach the place where you jumped, and Jowy will be waiting,
just like you both promised.
He tells you that he has no regrets, but if he did, it would've been that he
had to betray the City-State and assassinate Anabelle. You both were a lot
alike, and you both walked along the same path and aimed for the same things,
but he admired Luca Blight for his strength even though he hated him, and he
wanted that power so he could protect everyone. However, none of that matters
now; this is a battle between the King of Highland and the leader of your
army.
Choose either option, and you'll have to
fight Jowy, one-on-one. When fighting him,
make sure to DEFEND every time!

After just a few turns, Jowy will ask you why you won't fight.
Depending on your actions in battle, o-------------------------------------o
you'll have one of two choices here; | [1] ......I know....
|
you can still choose either option,

some bizarre reason, you CAN hit
o-------------------------------------o
Jowy, but as long as you don't end
the battle by depleting his HP, and proceed to choose the correct choices, you
can still see the good ending, but I'd still defend to be safe. Once you have
lost so much HP, the battle will end. Jowy tells you that he was always
jealous of you, since there was something about you that made everyone like
you. He'll then collapse to his knees.
Pick either option, and he'll tell
o-------------------------------------o
you that he used too much of his
| [1] JOWY!!!!!
|
power using the Black Sword Rune to
| [2] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
stop the Beast Rune. He also says
o-------------------------------------o
that both of our runes together make
a True Rune, but using it by itself slowly takes your life, and since he says
he's going to die anyway, he wants you to take his rune to make yours
complete.
KEEP CHOOSING 1. If you keep choosing 1
o-------------------------------o
over and over, and after three times the
|

|
option doesn't change to the next one,
| NO! [2] Okay...Jowy.

o-------------------------------o
must pick a choice when Nanami goes to
defend you VERY QUICKLY. You'll know you did it right if you whip out your
weapons, and when you get back to Headquarters and Huan will ask Shu to come
in and speak with him. If that didn't work, make sure she had a high enough
DEF value.
Once you've chosen 1 on the second prompt, your runes will start to resonate
together, and Leknaat will appear, saying that the Rune of the Beginning only
appears when the holders of the two runes face each other in combat. Even

though you decided not to fight, your spirit, along with the spirits of the
108 Stars of Destiny, called forth the power of the Rune of the Beginning to
heal both of you. She wants them to live their lives now, and see the world,
but Jowy doesn't know what to do, since he has many sins to account for, but
he decides that he can forget his name and his past and move on.
Choose either option, and Jowy
start your new journey. As you
down the pass, you'll have one
waiting for you; you will have
ending yourself to see it!

Here is CelesDestiny's method of capturing the Flying Squirrels, which may


save you some time and pain! Thanks!
"There has been a lot of debates about them and I tested many hours how to
recruit them fast. You don't have to battle at all. While a free slot is

required, the squirrel joins outside of battles. I'm 100% sure of this.
Actually, the game checks a regular intervals (I believe it is every X minutes
- this is what I am not sure of) every party slot. You'll increase your chance
even more by traveling alone. Plus, you can stand still for that in the
required area. The squirrel joins as soon as you make one more step
afterwards. I tested this once on the PSOne, stand for over 30 minutes at the
same spot (last squirrel), checked the menu ... nothing, made one step, heard
a short loading sound, therefore checked the menu again and ... it was there.
Many people do a lot of battles, which can be very time consuming especially
for the last squirrel. But it is so easy: Wait in the required area, leave
your game alone for some time, make one step and check your party :) If you
want to travel anyway (perhaps the game checks more often then ..?), be sure
to bring Champion's Rune and True Holy Rune along to speed things up a lot!"
It may take a bit of time to do this, so be patient. Once you have all of the
flying squirrels, head back to Headquarters.

(- NOTE -) To undertake this side quest, you


must have loaded data from Suikoden at the
beginning of the game.

Once you're in Banner Village, head east past


the Inn to run into Gremio blocking your
path; he'll ask you not to come through here right now. Go back and talk to
Ko, the little boy that is dressed up like you; if you talked to him before,
he would've told you that he thinks that the leader of your army is back
fishing in the pond, not realizing that you're the general he loves. He'll ask
you if you want to meet him.
Choose 1, and he'll decide to run up the hill and o------------------------o

|
him. Run back over and talk to Gremio once again, | [2] Huh? Not really... |
and he'll take off once Ko starts yelling. Go up
o------------------------o
and talk to McDohl; if you brought anyone from
Suikoden, such as Flik, Viktor, or Luc, they'll come out and say something
first.
Choose either option, and after
o-------------------------------------o
you're in the Inn, you'll learn from | [1] Can I talk to you for a minute? |
Gremio that Ko is in trouble in the

Gremio will want McDohl to help. The | [1] Uh, are you SURE about that?

|
start to react, making him kneel to
o-------------------------------------o
the ground, but Gremio will convince
him that Ted and his grandfather both fought to protect the Soul Eater. He
doesn't think that the rune itself is evil, and will ask him once more to help
out; McDohl will come over to you, putting his hand on your shoulder.
Choosing 1 will allow McDohl to join you right now;
if you choose 2, you'll have to wait to meet up with
them in the Banner Pass. Once you choose 1, McDohl
will join your party! Go up to the Banner Pass.

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

Once you're here, you'll see a set of three
bandits, asking if you're here to get the kid
back.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Let Ko go!!
|
| [2] I didn't say that.
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Choose either option, then the leader will


continue to roll on along, although his
buddies seem pretty speechless, as they
recognize you as the leader of the State's
army, and they recognize McDohl as the leader of the Liberation Army that took
down the Scarlet Moon Empire! The other two will flee, leaving the leader
cowering; he says that they had to ditch the kid when a monster attacked, so
we have to save him! Head east to the next area, then east and north to find
Ko lying on the ground. You'll then have to fight the Worm, once again.

You shouldn't really have to worry
|
| about this boss. If you're strong enough, you'll wipe the floor with him, |
| and here's the best part; if you lose, there's nothing to worry about,
|
| since you and McDohl will double team him in a separate battle. In that
|
| battle, you'll use the Forgiver Sign spell on your Bright Shield Rune, and |
| McDohl will use the Judgment spell on his Soul Eater to take him out for |
| good. It's up to you if you want to waste the effort; if so, just use your |
| strongest attacks and stay healed. Either way, you'll get the rewards of |
| winning the battle.
|
|
|
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, McDohl will suggest to Gremio that we take Ko to see Dr.
Liukan in Gregminster, so when you regain control, head north and follow the
path until you reach Varkas, who'll take you to go see him.
Once there, Liukan will tell you that he's all right, then Lepant will talk to
McDohl, offering him the seat of President that is rightfully his. McDohl will
back away, refusing to do so, and Lepant's wife Eileen will tell her husband
that he's still just a boy and he probably still has much to do in his life.
After that meeting, leave the palace, and you'll meet up with even more of our
old Suikoden friends! After dinner at the McDohl residence, head downstairs to
run into Cleo, who'll ask if you're going to rest.
If you choose 1 or 2, she'll want
to talk to you some more, asking
you what you will gain personally

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

to Pahn, then back to Gremio and

McDohl. Once everyone is ready,

|
Gremio will tell you that Ko is in
o--------------------------------------o
better shape, so let's go get him
at the castle. Head inside and Ko will finally realize who you and McDohl
really are, and will be super excited that he got to meet two great heroes!
Varkas will then ask you if you're ready to be escorted back to the village.
Pick 1 to be taken back to the entrance to Banner
o---------------------o
Village. Head south from where they leave you, and
| [1] Yes, thank you. |
Gremio will tell you that he knows that you'll

succeed, as you have the same hope in your eyes that o---------------------o
McDohl's did. He also tells you that they'll be
staying in Gregminster for a while, so if we need their help, to feel free to
come visit! Now that we've finished with the McDohl side quest, two things can
now happen;
1) You can travel ALL THE WAY back to Gregminster (I wish there were a
shortcut), and if you talk to McDohl at his house to the upper-right of the
golden statue, he will join your party! He will stay in your party as long as
he is not replaced, or as long as a story event doesn't kick him out. To put
him back in your party, you'll have to travel the long path to Gregminster
once again.
2) If you haven't faced Lester yet, good; when you beat him after doing the
McDohl side quest, not only does he give you his Recipe, he'll also tell you
about Gremio's Special Stew. You must beat Lester and have him tell you about
the stew before you can get it. Once you do, travel to Gregminster.

As I said before, if you beat Lester AFTER


completing the McDohl side quest, he will
mention Gremio's Special Stew, which is why
you're here. Talk to Gremio in the kitchen
of McDohl's house; he says he's in the most
important part of making his stew.
o-------------------------------------------o
| [1] Pull his ears.
|
| [2] Tickle him.
|
| [3] Leave him alone.
|
o-------------------------------------------o

Haha, choose any option, then


talk to him again, and he'll
give you the recipe for his
Special Stew, [_RECIPE #39_]. Now, if you want McDohl to come with you, go up
to his room and talk to him.
Pick 1, and McDohl will temporarily join your
party, as I mentioned before. Too bad we
can't just add him like everyone else...
always a long trip. He's worth it though! His
Unite with Hero is excellent against groups
of enemies, and the Soul Eater... what is there

o----------------------------o
| [1] Please, fight with us. |
| [2] Hey, howya doin'?
|
o----------------------------o
to say about that? It's just

AWESOME! That's it for the McDohl side quest!

o--------o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
- Thanks to CelesDestiny for all of the help and tips; being able to go back
to Rakutei Mountain later in the game, the glitch between the Recipes, the
glitch between the Window Sets, the extra Flints at the beginning of the
game, the Black Urn on your first visit to Rakutei Mountain, the enemies at
Tenzan Pass late in the game, trying to sell your Window Set to Tenkou which
results in him not giving you Window Set #4, and her strategy on recruiting
Mukumuku's friends. I can't thank you enough!
- Thanks to Lars for correcting the correct results of equipping the
Prosperity and Fortune Runes, as well as providing a new option in the
commanding of the Greenhill battle, and correcting the wrong location of the
Alert Rune in Banner Village.
- Thanks to YOU, the reader of this guide, for playing along.
