RPG Review FAQ

Castle of Toran
First of all, before you go to the meeting room to see the ninja, make sure Pahn is level 12 weapon, fully healed, with the best armor possible. And save.

At the meeting room, you will meet the Ninja Kasumi. She is from Rokkaku, an all-ninja village. Kasumi joins you, but you learn that Teo's huge army has returned from the northern expedition and is on it's way to take you out.

The fight is coming, as Gen sees the enemy on their way.

Battle with Teo
The battle with Teo begins. He has his armored cavalry, and they cannot be defeated. Just do a few attacks and the battle will be over. Teo wins, and he pursues you with Alen and Grenseal.

As you retreat, Pahn feels it is his destiny to encounter General Teo. Sure enough, he gets his wish. This is the hardest battle on the game. General Teo vs. Pahn duel

Problem is, Pahn's defense just gets shredded by Teo if you get hit by a Desperate Attack. Try to just defend the entire time, Teo is pretty aggressive in general. It's rare that Teo will nickel and dime you to death with a regular attack, he'll eventually use a few desperate attacks. If Pahn loses, well...let's just say despite the difficulty of this battle it is imperative Pahn wins for the secret ending.

Castle of Toran
Despite Pahn's victory, the party is demoralized from the Armored Cavalry. Rest with McDohl.

Leknaat wakes you up. She knows you have gone through a stressful time. She tells you about the Gate Clan and the 27 True Runes.

Next day at the meeting room, Flik remembers the Fire Spears! They should be finished at the Liberation Army Secret Base. Back by the port, Kamandol and Gen are working on a high speed boat. You need either Gen or Tai Ho in your party to use it since they are the ones who are good with boats around here.

Kirov
North of the Pirate's Fortress is another rapid that you could not pass until now, with this high speed boat. Kirov is an interesting town with even more interesting music.

Check the two little buildings north of where you enter. Search the chimney areas to check out the stew. You need to find two of these stews, then go to that big building in the south. Lester is in here and he knows that you were testing his stews. He joins you, you could always use a second cook.

Try to recruit the maid Sarah here. She needs Soap though. Talk to the guy north of her who can give you Soap, but he needs Soy Sauce. The guy west of him has Soy Sauce, but needs Salt. The lady in the southeast has Salt but needs a Yardstick. The guy at the east part of the Inn has a Yardstick but needs Sugar. Thankfully, you can buy Sugar at the Item Shop. Then follow that list above, giving each character what they need until you have the Soap for Sarah. She joins your entourage.

At the Inn is a guy named Georges, who plays a card game with you. You have to win his game for him to join. Not a tough game to win, just get a match in the center of the cards and watch it open up real quick.

Kalekka
North of Kirov is Kalekka. If you have listened to any of the history of the Scarlet Moon Empire, you remember an important battle took place here. The town is destroyed.

The first building has Leon Silverberg. He is an old strategist but is not going to join you right now. The broken down item shop in the southeast has an Earth Rune Piece.

The bar in the center has the last living resident in the town. Grab the Old Book Volume 8 here. West of this bar is another building with an antique ? painting.

Speak with Blackman the farmer without stepping on his crops first. The building east of this has the Sound Crystal.

Secret Factory
North of Kalekka is the Secret Factory. Those goof-balls Kessler and Ledon are here, with a strong woman named Ronnie Bell. Step up and calm the three, then have Ledon and Kessler join up. Enter the Secret Factory and pay Kage 20000 Bits to join up for the rest of the war.

Take the Window Setting 0 here, and talk to Mose. You need plenty of boats to transport these but thankfully there is a guy named Kun To in Kirov that Tai Ho knows. Teleport back and use the Blinking Mirror, or go through Kalekka for EXP and bits.

Kirov
Talk to Melodye in the southwest part, now that you have the Sound Crystal from Kalekka. Melodye joins. Give Melodye your Sound Settings (at HQ) and you can change the sound effects in Suikoden.

At that southern building, you see Kun To. Tai Ho asks for 10 boats from him. Kunto joins you and Ronnie Bell loads the boats up with Fire Spears.

Castle of Toran
As you return, Tai Ho goes and gets some rest. McDohl does too.

When you wake up, go save, then to the meeting room. It is now time to see how Teo's Army responds to the Fire Spears.

Army Battle vs. Teo
Teo thinks you are wasting his time again. To attack with the Fire Spears, just use your Strategist Mathiu to build up your Charge strength, then use your best Charge Attacks (Lepant's Family, Pirates, Hero, etc). Just straight up attack, Teo's forces have no choice.

Teo is in a bad way. But he challenges his son to a duel. You cannot refuse. He is just as tough as he was in the Pahn fight, but Teo has only half of his HP. Again, being defensive is best here.

After the victory, Teo is down. Soul Eater reaches level 3.
