Gensou Suikoden 5 - Strategy Guide (Page 05)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Gensou Suikoden 5 - Strategy Guide (Page 05).
--------------------------------
Character: Belcoot
Location: Yashuna Village
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
You'll find Belcoot outside of the Inn in Yashuna (after visiting Lordlake.)
Speak with him and he will not join you without Marina. Now enter the Inn and
watch the scene with Marina.
Note: If Marina does not appear, go a bit farther in the game (after speaking
with Belcoot) and then come back. This should get her to appear.
After the scene, Belcoot and Marina join your cause.
--------------------------------
Marina joins along with Belcoot.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Subala
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Lun in your party
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Head to Raftfleet, and head north of the Save Point with Lun in your party.
Watch a short scene here. Now, speak with Subala to initiate another scene.
Choose "She'll give us, uh...Energy?" and now you need to fish with her.
It is rather easy to win the mini-game, and once you win, she will join you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Alhazred
Location: Yashuna Village
Prerequisite: You MUST have seen the scene with him in Rainwall
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
First, you need to have seen the scene with him in Rainwall.
Next, head to Yashuna Village and go to the second Inn (the far east) and head
upstairs. Up here, enter the room near the stairs for a short scene. You
will recieve the Strange Book.
After recieving this book, head back to your Headquarters, and put it into
Storage (with Chuck.)
After some time (go battle, recruit characters, or go along with a story
event) speak with Chuck and he will give you BACK the book.
Go back to Yashuna Village and head back to the second Inn where you
originally met the man who gave you the Strange Book. Speak to the woman
inside and choose "I want to return a book. . ."
Now, go to Estrise (east of Rainwall) and speak with Alhazred north of the
fountain. Tell him "Actually, now that you mention it. . ." and he will
temporarily join your party.
Head back to Yashuna Village through whichever means, and head upstairs in the
second Inn again. Watch a scene.
You need to fight an optional boss now, the Book of Condemnation.
***************************************************************
Boss: Book of Condemnation
Rewards: Resurrection Piece1 16,500 Potch, 100 Party SP
The Book of Condemnation is quite slow, and tends to attack last, which is a
good thing. Unfortunately, his attacks will hit a large range of characters
(even if not for the larges amount of damage.)
Whenever the book is opened up, he will start castin Dark Based spells. Any
defensive spells work well (especially ones that nullify spells as a whole) to
reduce damage, even though the damage from the spells will not be significant
enough to warrant danger.
Casting defensive spells will help reduce damage all around (such as Clay
Guardian), and if done correctly, you will not need to heal at all. Stick with
physical attacks over magic, since the boss has a high magical defense, and
the boss will die quickly.
***************************************************************
After the battle ask him to join, and he accepts. He will give you the
Condemnation Orb as a reward.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Richard
Location: Waterfall Basin
Prerequisite: Must have Wilhelm and Mueller
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
You need to find him at the end of the Waterfall Basin.
At the end of the basin, speak with Richard. Ask him to join you, and he will
tell you that he can not. Now, head back to your Headquarters (using an Escape
Scroll helps considerably here) and speak with Mueller. Then head back to the
Waterfall Basin and speak with Richard again. He will join you this time.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Genoh
Location: Waterfall Basin
Prerequisite: Alhazred or Levi
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
First, head to Beaver Lodge and speak with the Beaver outside of the Elder's
Hut about the "Boss" multiple times. Now speak to Fulawafuwalu (the Elder) and
he will tell you about the Elder (if you haven't asked him to join you before,
you will need to speak with him multiple times.) Now, head into the Waterfall
Basin with Alhazred or Levi in your party, and with this character one level
below or any level higher than your hero. Head to the far end of the Basin,
and you'll find Genoh (My first thought was Genbu, because of his form). He
will only join you under the condition that the "Old" character is one level
lower or any higher than the hero.
Note: Contrary to popular belief, you do NOT need Zerase or Jeane in your
party to recruit Genoh.

Waterfall Basin
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero, Lyon
Suggested Level: 30
Enemies: Ogre Frog, Vampire Bat, Huge Legs
Boss: None
Mini-Boss: Tarantula (Mega Medicine1, Venom Orb, Eyeball Ring, 8200 Potch, 30
Party SP)
Items: Pale Moon Beads, Resurrection Piece, Stone of Luck, Voice Set 4
Characters: Richard, Genoh
Note: The Vampire Bats in this section drop Drain Pieces, so if you're looking
to make a few Drain Orbs, you should fight them for a bit.
This is an optional area that you will do to recruit to characters. Though
you can enter it earlier than this point, there is really no need, since you
can not recruit the characters there. The Waterfall Basin is southeast of your
Headquarters and the Beaver Lodge.
Follow the path until you see some rocks over the river to the east. Head
over these rocks, and across the river. Head north and open the chest here
for some PALE MOON BEADS. Now, go south until you reach an intersection.
Continue south, and head west over the rock pathway when you can. On the
other sided of the river, head west and south when you can to open a chest
containing a rare RESURRECTION PIECE. Go back to the Intersection and head
east, where you'll find a well hidden STONE OF LUCK. Now head back north and
over the river. Go back to the intersection and take the western path.
Follow this path until you reach the next intersection, where you should head
east and down the next path over the river. Over here, head down the eastern
path and you'll find a very well hidden chest containing a VOICE SET 4. Head
back to the intersection and go south. Follow this path, and you'll find a
save point. Continue along, and head northwest over the rocks across the
river. Head north here onto the next screen.
Speak to the man on this screen, and ask him to join you. He will not, for
now. His name is Richard, and tells you that Mueller told him to train there.
So head back to the Headquarters and speak with Mueller. Now, head all the
way back through the Waterfall Basin to where Richard is, and speak with him
again.
This time he will join you.
After recruiting Richard, level up a character like Alhazred (or wait until
you get Levi later) until they are one level lower than your main character,
or higher. Now, head to where you found Richard, and you'll meet Genoh, who
with the elder character in your party, will be recruitable. You will need to
speak with the Beavers in Beaver Lodge before this event will happen though.
+++
Lastly, to obtain a character later on you MUST bring Cius and Lorelai to the
Agate Prison at this point. After a short scene in the prison, Killey
leaves. Head back to Headquarters, where you'll find Killey again with Zweig
and Lorelai (near the exit.) You need to choose "Explain what?" and "Very
well. . ." (If you do not at least choose "Very Well" I believe you can miss
Killey. It's just how his personality is).
Head up to the Sealed Room for another scene. This will trigger events later
on when you can find and recruit him.
+++
Note: If you didn't bring Lorelai and Cius to Killey, but instead freed him
when you were in Agate the very first visit (you can do this, but you miss out
on some extra conversation) you can still recruit Killey in the same manner as
if you freed him later. But remember YOU CAN NOT FREE KILLEY AFTER THE
QUEEN'S CAMPAIGN. You will have missed him permanently if you did not.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon
Enemies [World Map]: Killer Tiger, Papa Holly, Huge Legs, Salamandy, Greater
Salamandy, Gray Ulse
Mini-Boss [World Map]: Big Creeper (Baked Cheesecake1, ?Bonsai, Black Warrior
Garb, 16,500 Potch, 50 Party SP), Blue Scissors x2 (Silver Bangle, Fire
Sealing Piece1, Crab, 19,200 Potch, 34 Party SP)
Shops: Depending on characters you have recruited.
Items: None
Characters: None
After you have recruited all of the characters possible at this point (that
was quite a few!) head back to your Headquarters for a new mission. Head to
the War Room on 3F for a scene. You'll also need to have gone to Beaver Lodge
and spoken to Fuwalafuwalu to get this to occur, it seems. So if you haven't
and are having trouble getting this War Room scene to occur, head over to
Beaver Lodge^^
After the scene, head back downstairs and head outside (from 2F) for a scene
with Taylor. You automatically head back to the War Room. Choose "Let's go to
Lelcar!" when you're ready to continue on with the game (you can say you want
to wait if you have things to do still.) Kyle is a required member of your
party for the events in Lelcar. (Gotta love Kyle's outfit!)
Head downstairs and choose the members of your party, and then speak with
Logg, who will take you to Lelcar.

Lelcar
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Kyle
Enemies: Bodyguard, Thug, Godwin Soldier
Boss: Nikea, Thugx5
Shops: Appraisal, Inn x2, Armor, Rune Shop, Trading, Item, Physical Training,
Magical Training
Items: White Rose Brooch, Guardian Casque, Rage Piece, Anklets of Destiny, Tri
Tactic, Sacrificial Jizo, Basic Combat, Raging Lion Epic
Characters: Mohsen, Wasil, Volga, Orok
Watch the scene. Head southwest and open the chest here for the WHITE ROSE
BROOCH. Press southeast against the southern houses and you'll eventually find
a path to a chest containing a GUARDIAN CASQUE. Continue south past the
intersection for a scene. Now head north and you'll find a very (very!) thin
path to the west between two buildings that leads to the Western Islet. Take
it.
In the Western Islet continue west and you'll find some more shops. Head all
the way north here, and when you can, head northeast over the rock path to
small island. Open the chest here for a RAGE PIECE. Head back to the city
and enter the Armor Shop. To recruit a character later on, you will need to
spend around 100,000 (one-hundred thousand) Potch in this shop. Speak with
Moshen in here after buying 100,000 Potch and he will end up joining you
later. If you don't have 100,000 Potch you can wait until later, so don't
worry. Exit the Armor shop, and head all the way south down the screen. There
is a chest down here that contains the ANKLETS OF DESTINY.
Head back to the Central Islet. Here, head all the way south for another
scene. Exit the house,and head all the way south. By the trees on the western
side of the far southern portion of the central islet is an extremely well
hidden chest that contains the TRI TACTIC. Head back north, and when you can
head east to the Eastern Islet.
On the Eastern Islet, head east and watch a scene. Answering "Huh? There's a
Prince here? Where?" gives a more entertaining answer. From where you gain
control, head north all the way, and then west. You'll find a chest
containing a SACRIFICIAL JIZO. Now head into the Inn and go upstairs. There
is a chest in one of the rooms up here that contains the BASIC COMBAT book.
Now, head back over to the Western Islet (through the Central Islet) and head
all the way south to Orok's house.
After the short scene, you are forced into a story battle with three Thugs and
three Bodyguards. This is not a boss battle but you still need to keep your
guard up. Now head west and open the chest for the RAGING LION EPIC. Now head
downstairs for another scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Nikea, Thugx5
Rewards: Baked Cheesecake, Master's Robe, 19,800 Potch, 80 Party SP
Like many boss battles, this battle is fought versus a large number of foes.
Spells will be your very best friend here, especially Fire ones. if you have
gotten every Rage Piece at this point, you will have a Rage Rune in your
possession. Using that will slaughter this boss and her lackeys. Also, the
third level Lightning spell, Soaring Bolt, will work exceedingly well once you
have taken down some of the other enemies on the level (since the damage is
based towards the number of enemies on screen, you want to use it after at
least 2 or three foes are killed so that the bosses take more damage each.)
The hardest part about this battle is the sheer built up amount of damage that
the enemies can cause. Because of this, you need to kill as many enemies as
you possibly can on the first round, which will hopefully be three or four. If
not, you should probably expect a few deaths on the first round if you don't
have the best gear.
So on the first round, cast as many defensive spells as possible as well as
area-of-effect spells to take down all of the Thugs. Alone, Nikea is not a
challenge, but the Thugs are what will cause the damage.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Exit the house and watch the scenes. I HIGHLY suggest going to
save before going to war.
***************************************************************
War Battle 6: -Defending Lelcar-
Rewards: (Victory+) 15,000 Potch, Guardian Chain
Battle Goal: Push enemy ground forces back from Lelcar.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Infantry (HP:120), Spear (HP:150), Archerx2 (HP: 150), Cavalry (HP:150),
Zahhak (HP:200), Rune ArcShp (HP:200), ArcShp (HP:200), ComShip (HP:200), Ram
(HP: 200)
This will be the largest war battle yet, and will be extremely annoying since
you have so many units to control so spread out from each other (both land and
sea units.) If you are having trouble, press select to pause it, and
choose "View Map" to move the cursor while it's paused and then unselect where
you want to control your characters at. This makes it quite a bit easier to
execute commands.
With your ground units, the largest danger is getting stuck on the bridge.
This is a common occurence and will cause both sides to get slaughtered, and
the less deaths the better. The bridge will stop your characters from running,
so make sure that you do not move onto it to intercept the ground army.
To win this battle, all you need to do is severly damage Zahhak's unit, but if
you do that, you'll miss out on all sorts of other goodies. Also note that you
actually don't even HAVE to deal with the ship part of the battle if you
finish the ground portion quickly enough, since the ships are far enough away
that it takes quite some time for your opponents to reach them. That is your
choice though, since you get goodies for killing the ships.
Remember to effectively use skills like Charge and your Rune Magic to make
your enemies run. Also, play defensive. DO NOT approach the second bridge
unless you want to die, since you will get caught and slaughtered on it. The
Dawn Rune will be especially helpful when the enemies are clustered together
on the bridge, so don't be afraid to use that.
***************************************************************
Watch the scene. Back in town you're going to need to deal with the soldiers.
This will be a really nasty battle if you don't have some good gear, so make
sure to use spells effectively.
When you gain control, head west and then north. Watch a scene up here.
Wasil, Volga, and Orok join you as Stars of Destiny.
Now, you are supposed to head back to Headquarters, but once again. Make sure
to stop by Mohsen on the way out though!
--------------------------------
Character: Mohsen
Location: Lelcar/Doratt
Prerequisite: Must have spent 100,000 Potch at his store.
Time to Recruit: Lelcar, after the battle, or after the battle in Doratt
How to Recruit:
Before the battle in Lelcar, buy around 100,000 Potch worth of armor from
Mohsen and speak with him. Finish the events around Lelcar, and speak with
him again. Choose "I'm sorry to have failed you. . ." and then you MUST not
tell him to (hypothetically) "suck it up" and instead ask him to join you (Why
don't you open a shop at my castle?). If you tell him that it will be all
right, he will NEVER join you, so make sure that you ask him to join your
cause. If you did not buy 100,000 Potch worth of armor from him before the
battle of Lelcar, you will have to wait until Doratt to recruit him.
If you wait until Doratt, you need to buy 100,000 Potch worth of armor from
him there, and then speak with him and ask him to join. He will then accept
your proposal.

Characters: Taylor, Jeane, Murad, Linfa, Nikea
--------------------------------
Character: Taylor
Location: Headquarters
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
Head to the Inn and you'll find Taylor outside. Allow him to look around the
castle and he'll move on.
You'll find Taylor again by the Sealed Room. Allow him to check it out and
he'll move once again.
Taylor's last location is by Georg's room (by where Kyle usually stands.)
Speak with him and let him check that out. Now he joins your army.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Jeane
Location: Lelcar
Prerequisite: Speaking with the Guard in "Big Hole."
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
First, speak with the Guard in the "Big Hole" northwest of Rainwall (go to the
Eastern Wharf and head north to get there easily.)
After speaking with him, head to Lelcar and find Jeane in the Rune Shop. Watch
a scene. If you bring Kyle, you'll get some extra text (it's worth it!).
After the scene, speak with her again and ask her to join you. Tell her that
you will "Gladly" help her. Jeane temporarily joins your party.
Head back to the "Big Hole" with Jeane.
Follow the path to the end and you'll find a new dungeon.
Note: In this dungeon enemies drop Magic Absorb Pieces, an excellent Rune that
you should use for all mages who can equip it. You may want to spend some
time farming it while you're here.
In here, follow the western path along until you reach an intersection, where
you should go west to obtain some ANKLETS OF DESTINY. Head back east and
you'll eventually reach a new intersection. Here, head south and then east
across the small platform. Continue southeast and follow the east path until
you reach another intersection. Go east and open the chest for some DEVIL
BEADS, and head back. Follow the intersection west then follow the path until
you reach the two chests at the end. These contain a HOLY AMULET and a
PROSPERITY TUNIC. Head back to the intersection and take the north fork and
follow the path until you reach a large statue.
From the large statue head north and into the large building. In here, there
are two paths. Head up the stairs to the east and go up the stairs directly
west of those on the next screen for a chest containing a MOTHER EARTH PIECE.
Head back to the main room and go up the stairs to the west. In here, head up
the stairs directly to the east and open the chest for the SORCERY TACTIC.
Head back downstairs and follow the path north and through the northern door.
In here, watch a scene. Choose "Will you join us now?" and Jeane joins you as
a Star of Destiny.
There's still some more chests in the dungeon. One is on the upper level above
the entrance. It contains a MYSTIC RING. Another is in the northwestern
corner, and this one contains the DRAGON INCENSE. There is a very well hidden
(impossible to see) chest in the northwestern corner (up at the very top of
the stairs) behind that wall that changes the camera angle. This hidden chest
contains a CHAMPION'S ORB. The last chest is in the northeastern corner, and
this one contains a MAGIC RING.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Murad
Location: Lelcar
Prerequisite: Having spoken to him twice before.
Time to Recruit: After the battle of Lelcar, or after the second events at
Beaver Lodge
How to Recruit:
You need to speak to Murad in a few cities before he will actually join you.
You'll find him first in Rainwall during your time there. After that he goes
to Raftfleet where you should speak with him there. Note that the windows of
times in these towns that he remains is quite short, so the moment you see him
you need to speak with him. After the battle in Lelcar you'll find him on the
Western Islet tending to the wounded. Speak with him there and he will join
if you spoke to him before. If he does not join now, you'll need to speak
with him later on after the second series of events in the Beaver Lodge.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Linfa
Location: Estrise, Yashuna, Raftfleet
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
Recruiting Linfa is a three step process. Note that the first two steps can
actually be completed before the battle of Lelcar, but the last step can not
be completed until after.
First, you'll find Linfa in the Inn of Estrise. Speak with her here and she
challenged you to a game. Play her, and don't even try to win. Linfa cheats,
so don't expect to win this. After you lose 2,000 Potch, she leaves.
Now, head to Yashuna village where you'll find her again (near the water).
This time she gives you back your 2,000 Potch and leaves.
The last place you'll find Linfa is in Raftfleet, where you can recruit her.
If you don't find her there the first time, you may need to wait until a few
in-game events have passed. To get Linfa to join, ask her, and then accept her
challenge. She will join you if you win or lose, but if you lose you need to
pay 5,000 Potch.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Nikea
Location: Estrise
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
You'll find Nikea at the Inn in Estrise. After a short scene with her, she
demands to duel if you want to recruit her.
---------------------------------------
Optional Duel: -Hero vs Nikea-
Attack: Okay, here I go.
Attack: I'm telling you, that wont work on me!
Attack: Special move, ouch owie ouch...Sorry guess I cant do that one. . .
Special: I'll start off with a special move right away, Kabaluph(sp?)
Landslside!
Special: Special Move, Demba Avalanche!
Special: Special Move, Kabaluph(sp?) Landslside!
Defense: Okay, come at me!
Defense: Hey not bad, guess I better keep my eyes open.
Near the end of the duel, Nikea starts using her special move over and over
again, so if you just defend every round it should be an easy win. She does
not have the largest array of attacks, either. I didn't head that one word
well in her special, but you'll know it when you hear it. . .
---------------------------------------
After beating Nikea, she will join your army.

Sable
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Sialeeds
Enemies [World Map]: Avolo Pestis, Killer Bald Eagle, Rockadillo
Shops: Inn, Item, Armor, Rune, Trading Post, Appraisal, Physical Training,
Magical Training, Blacksmith (Level 10)
Items: Fate Control Epic, Elementary Magic, Silver Hammer, Crown of Destiny,
Old Book 8
Characters: Dongo
Sable is a long walk from your Headquarters. First, you need to
Blink/Teleport over to Lordlake. Outside of Lordlake, follow the road
southeast and you'll find the Sable. West Checkpoint. Enter this and watch a
scene. You are pitted against four Sable Patrol Guards in a story battle. Boz
and Dinn join your party. Now, head through the Checkpoint to the World Map.
On the World Map, follow the path southeast until you reach Sable. Watch the
scenes. Boz leaves your party, though Dinn stays. Now head south and enter
the storage room and you'll find the FATE CONTROL EPIC. Now head back north
and into the courtyard. In here, you'll find the ELEMENTARY MAGIC. Exit
Solis' house.
In the main town, head north until you reach the armor shop. From here, head
west and up the stairs. You'll find the important SILVER HAMMER in the chest
up here. Head back down the stairs. With the Silver Hammer in your possession
you can recruit another character in the Dwarf Camp.
--------------------------------
Character: Dongo
Location: Dwarf Camp
Prerequisite: Have given Dongo the Iron Hammer (found in Lordlake)
Time to Recruit: After gaining access to Sable
How to Recruit:
You need to give Dongo the Iron and Silver Hammers to recruit him. The Iron
Hammer is found in a chest in Lordlake, while the Silver Hammer is found in a
chest in Sable. After giving him both of these, and sharpening a few weapons,
he will join your army.
Something some people do here is that they do not give Dongo the Iron Hammer
before they have the Silver Hammer. In this case, you will need to wait until
you get a higher level Hammer (such as the Gold Hammer) to recuit him. Dongo
needs to have two hammer types given to him before you can recruit him.
--------------------------------
Back at the Sable Armor Shop, head all the way to the northeastern corner of
the town. Its a rather long walk, but you'll eventually find a chest
containing a CROWN OF DESTINY. Now, head back to the Inn and enter. Go
upstairs, and you'll find a way to get outside (to the south of the screen.)
Follow the eastern wall to a new screen and open the chest to the north for
the OLD BOOK 8.
After obtaining all of the items, exit Sable.

Ranro Mountain
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Sialeeds, Dinn
Suggested Level: 35
Enemies: Killer Bald Eagle, Bandit (Sword), Bandit (Bow), Avolo Pestis,
Rockadillo
Mini-Boss: Salamander
Boss: Female Bandit, Male Bandit, Bandit (Sword) x2, Bandit (Bow) x2
Items: Pale Moon Gloves, Circle Tactic, Swift Foot Epic, Window Set 4, Taira
Armor, Wind Ring, Cyclone Piece
Characters: None
Note: The mini-boss here is the same one that I mentioned earlier on the path
of Lunas. It drops a great piece of armor with high defense, if you can
defeat it.
Head north from Sable, and hug the mountains until you can go east. You'll
eventually find Ranro Mountain.
Once you have entered the mountain, watch a scene. When you regain control,
head very slightly east and press the X button near that large vine on the
wall. You'll climb up the vine. At the top of the vine, open the chest and
you'll recieve the PALE MOON GLOVES. Go back down, and head all the way west.
Head up the vine to the far west.
On the second level, head east and head up the vine to the third level. On the
third floor, head all the way west and up the vine. Up here, continue west
and up another vine. The chest up here contains the CIRCLE TACTIC. Head down
the two vines back to the third level. Down here, head all the way east and
there are two vines. Take the southern vine going down and follow this vine
up the next one. Up here you'll find the SWIFT FOOT EPIC. Head back down the
vine, and back up the previous vine to the intersection. Now, take the
northeastern vine going up to reach the fourth level.
On the fourth level, head west up the next vine, and then head all the way
east and up the vine up here. Open the chest here for the WINDOW SET 4. Head
back down the vine. Back down here, head all the way west to the far end and
go up the vine to the next level. Take the western vine to the next level
after this.
There's a Save point up here. Save now, and then head all the way east.
Watch a scene.

This is another battle where area of effect attacks will work to your
advantage. Once again, higher level Fire spells, or spells like Soaring Bolt
or Earthquake will do some good damage to all enemies. The goal is to take
down as many of the foes on the screen as quickly as you possibly can. If you
do not, they will attack you, and quite possibly overwhelm you if you do not
have the best gear possible.
The Bandits are quite fast, especialy if you are low levelled, so you may want
to cast protective spells (from the Earth Rune) on your first round.
Otherwise, this battle is not too difficult, it is more like a mid-boss than a
true boss.
***************************************************************
After the battle, head north and into the Bandit's Hideout.
There are a few more treasures in here to obtain before finding "Roy." Enter
the first door you see (to the east) and open the chest in here for the TAIRA
ARMOR. Exit this room, and head all the way north (ignoring the door to the
west for now.) Head through the door and open the chest in here for the WIND
RING. Head back south, and enter that door to the West.
Watch a scene.

Duel 4: Doppelanger -Hero vs Roy-
Attack: Is that the best you can do? Well, guess it's my turn now!
Attack: Well, I'm not going to hit you with my best moves right away am I?
Attack: Damn you! That really hurt!
Special: Hmm...maybe I'll hit you with my best moves right away!
Special: All right, this one is gonna put you outta your misery!
Special: You got me....I gotta take a break...haha! Did you really believe me?
Special: Hmph, what if I really get serious?
Special: Hmph, you think that hurts? you gotta do something more like this!
Special: Grr, you really piss me off, you know that!?!
Defense: Damn you...You really got me!
Defense: What are you waiting for? Come at me!
Defense: Okay, here comes another one. . . Nah, changed my mind!
Roy uses specials most of the time. Also, he has a fake guard with that
special, so don't play into it, make sure you read the entire text before
actually selecting the command (which is not neccessary all the time.) Roy
tends to special most of the time in this battle (seeing as his most of his
attacks are specials) though sometimes determining which are specials and
which are attacks is tricky.
---------------------------------------
Note: if you lose to Roy, you will see one of the premature bad endings.
Watch the scene. Answer "I'll do no such thing!" (this is important!!!) during
the scene. Faylen, Faylon, and Roy join your party. Open the chest in this
room for the CYCLONE PIECE. Now you need to leave the mountain, which you can
either walk down, or use an Escape Tailsman to do. Head back to Sable.

Once again, this is a battle that you need to use area of effect spells with.
This one will probably be a bit harder than the previous battle though,
because of your limited party. You are required to have your Hero, Lyon,
Faylen, Faylon, and Sialeeds in your party in this battle.
Sialeeds should use her Wind Rune while Faylen and Faylon use their Co-Op
attack, Brotherly Love, targeted on Euram. Have your Hero and Lyon use their
strongest area attacks on the foes (depending on equipped runes.)
Unfortunately, the enemies are extremely quick, so you need to act fast as
well. Fortunately though, they have quite low HP and will die in only a few
attacks. As long as you are decently levelled (around 35-38) this battle
should be easily winnable, even if you are severly limited.
***************************************************************
Watch the scene. Enter Solis' manor again. Watch another scene. It is very
important to choose "All I did was clear my good name." during this scene.
Dinn and Roy join your party. If you chose "I'll do no such thing!" during
the previous scene, and "All I did was clear my good name." during this scene,
lastly, choose "All right, it's a deal!" Faylen and Faylon will also join
you. If you messed up, you can still recruit them later.
Head back to Headquarters.
--------------------------------
Character: Faylen
Location: Ranro Mountain
Prerequisite: Must have Roy.
Time to Recruit: After the bandit events in Sable
How to Recruit:
With Roy in your party, head to the top of Ranro mountain and speak with
Faylen and Faylon. They will say that they are bringing the stolen goods back
to Sable. If you agree to help them, and bring down the three boxes worth of
goods then they will join your party.
You can ONLY do this event if they did not join you along with Roy. To get
them to join along with Roy, answer "I'll do no such thing!", "All I did was
clear my good name." and "All right! It's a deal!" during the scenes in Sable.
Faylen and Faylon ARE missable characters, and if you wait too long to recruit
them, they will be missed permanently.
--------------------------------
Faylon joins along with Faylen.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Sialeeds, Dinn, Boz, Roy
Shops: Depending on characters you have recruited.
Items: None
Characters: Nakula, Sagiri
Head to the War Room on 3F for a scene. When you gain control, there is
another character you can recruit before continuing. This character has a
rather short window for recruitment, so I suggest going to get him right now.
--------------------------------
Character: Nakula
Location: Sable
Prerequisite: Must have Oboro.
Time to Recruit: After the bandit events in Sable, but before the events of
the Queen's Campaign.
How to Recruit:
First, speak with the Maid in the Inn. This needs to be done before heading
much further. She'll mention the warrior on the bed is quite the fighter. Now,
wait a while, and head back upstairs to Inn at Sable, and speak with Nakula on
the bed. He will be awake and angry. Speak with him, and try to befriend him
for a scene.
When you regain control, head to Oboro's ship in Raftfleet. Speak with Oboro
for another scene. Now head back to Sable and speak with Nakula again. After
the scene (its really good!) Nakula joins your party.
There is a very short time period for getting Nakula, so right after you get
back to headquarters and see the scene in the War Room head back to Sable to
begin the series of events to recruit him.
The problem most people have with Nakula is that they don't have Oboro by the
time that you can recruit him. Yes, you do need Oboro, and you only have
until the Queen's Campaign before you've lost access to Nakula for good.
--------------------------------
Sagiri joins along with Nakula.
