-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01  Prologue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items:    Medicine x10, Bandana x1, Tunic x1, Leather Helm x1, Chain
          Mail x1, Scale Shield x1, Leather Boots x1
Potch:    200p - begins with it.

You will begin the game with naming your character. I choose "Hero" and
I will be refering it throughout the walkthrough.

Afterwards, you will be allow to adjust the options. Once you are done,
hit the start button to carry on. After some cutscenes, you will engage
in your first battle - a naval battle!

Snowe will provide you with some help.


                   Naval Battle #1 - First Engagement
 ____________________________________________________________________
 You will be given a tutorial from Jewel. Choose the top option and
 Snowe will drop some hints. The objective is to destroy the
 opponent's ship.

 Opponent: ?????
                       Victory conditions:
        Counter the enemy's attack and emerge victorious.

  Crew Members:
  Hero     HP 10 ATK 14 DEF 5 Underlings 12
  Tal      HP 11 ATK 14 DEF 8 Underlings 8
  Paula    HP 10 ATK 12 DEF 5 Underlings 10
  Keneth   HP 10 ATK 13 DEF 5 Underlings 10
  Jewel    HP 10 ATK 13 DEF 5 Underlings 8

  - Listen to the hints: "...can fire lightning & water Rune Shells"
  - Therefore, choose someone with a lightning Rune - Pick Keneth!
  - Place the remaining four members as your fighters
  - Take the maximum number of underlings. You can take a maximum of
    49 underlings if you choose the above setup. You will have more
    "hit points" if you choose less underlings. The opponent has 60
    hit points by the way.
  - Move to the 3rd square and press Left/Right to attack the opponent
    with your Rune Cannon. Counter when the opponent's attack you.
 _____________________________________________________________________

This is shortly follow by your first battle. It will be against a man
and a woman. Just follow the instructions from Snowe and you will be
fine. Seize the opportunity to get use to commands and controls. The
battle will ends once either the man (Glen) or woman (Katarina) is
knocked out. Snowe is equiped with the Water Rune, where Kindness Drops
restores HP. The battle will end if Hero dies. However, if you want to
win the battle, I recommend you to follow Snowe's instructions. You
are bound to use a Medicine in the battle anyway.

There will be some more cutscenes. Glen (the man) will challenge you
to a one-on-one battle. Choose the bottom option. You can view your
status screen. Snowe will be part of your party. There is a save point
in the room which allows you to save your game.

Talk to Katarina or Glen to initiate the combat

  -----------------------------------------------------------------
                  Fencing Battle #1 - Vs. Glen
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  Once you are done, talk to Katarina or Glen. You will be fighting
  a fencing match. There are 3 options - Attack, Guard, Special.

  1st Turn: Attack (Normal)
  2nd Turn: Attack (Special)
  3rd Turn: Attack
  4th turn: Guard
  5th turn: Guard

  And pay attention to his quotes...

  Or you want a sure-win battle?

  Quote                                              Use
  Pay close attention to my swordsmanship         -> Special
  Prepare to get beaten to a pulp                 -> Guard
  Charge at me and don't hold anything back       -> Attack
  Let's see how well you can wield that sword     -> Attack
  Now its my turn                                 -> Special
  My next move will settle this once and for all! -> Guard
  I will strike you with all your might           -> Guard
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

Well after the sparring match, you will be free to roam. You can find
your teammates at the following locations:

  Lower deck: Katarina
  Upper deck: Jewel, Tal and Keneth

Talk to everyone and this will be followed by some more scenes. Talk
to Tal and there will be more cutscenes and well you are starting
the game...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02   Hall of Knights
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items:    Old Book Volume 9, Steamed Bun x1, Water Orb x1

Head for the yellow marker on the map. You will reach the courtyard
area. There is a door that leads to the hallway leading to Audience
Chamber. You can find a chest containing an Old Book Volume 9. Exit
and move to the next door on the right, you will find Hero's room in
this hallway. There is a chest containing a Water Orb and Steamed Bun.
There is also a save point where you can save your game. If you move
up the Spire, you will be able to reach Commander Glen's room.

There is nothing much to do other than heading for the Training Hall
where you will find Kataronia at the doorway. There will be some
more scenes and some history... (do you hate history classes? ^_^)

Exit the courtyard. Head for the port which is located at the first
area.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.03   Razril (Port)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items:   Mushroom x1, Medicine x1, Stomach Band x1, Sandals x1,
         Tunic x2, Mittens x1, Robe x1, Gloves x1

(S) Save your game

There is a save point here. Since it is night time, there are nothing
much to visit as all shops are close. Ignore the entranceway (yellow
marker) that is on right next to the equipment if you go there, you
will have random battles.

Just move all your way towards north and you will trigger a cutscene
automatically. Eventually, you receives a torch of fire where Hero
could use it as his weapon ^_^ if you visit the Back Street area.

After the cutscene of Hero receiving the torch, you will be back at
the main street leading to the square. There are people in the main
street holding torches. Talk to them to light their torches. There are
a total of 8 torches to light...

Make your way to the Square and it will be followed some cutscenes and
fireworks. Talk to everyone (Paula, Katarina, Glen, Tal, Jewel, Keneth
and Lord Vingerhut). Exit the area via the main walkway not the one
that is leading towards the back street. Just head south off the main
street. Talk to everyone and there will be one man claiming that her
daughter is missing.

There is a cat at the area. Examine it and choose "Pet It" and you
will receive a Medicine! Move forward and you will find a cat-man
loitering around. Talk to it (Chiepoo) and you will get a notfication
from it that a girl has been kidnapped. It is optional on whether you
want to gather your party (you can have a maximum of four members).
I would do so as it will make the party more "balanced".

* Do not take off their equipment or you will have troubles in the
  upcoming training hall session.

I recommend Keneth as his Lightning Rune is extremely useful when
fighting a group of enemies along with another character of your
choice. Remember the walkway? Just use it this time round...

- Back Street -
 ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 Enemies: Shobby Shrew, Thug
 ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

There is nothing much except you will find a empty backyard. Just move
on the pathway and you will encounter random battles there. There is
a chest located along the pathway where you can get a Mushroom.

Proceed to the open area where you find a lot of broken pillars. Look
for a man facing a crate. It is pretty well hidden there. Talk to him
and you will fight...

   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
   Kidnapper                   HP: 100     Potch:
   Kidnapper Underling         HP: 50      160p

   Just make use of Keneth's Lightning Rune if you have him in
   party for a quick finish. Or you may want to use the
   Friendship Attack between Snowe and Hero...
  
   Items: ? Pot (Pot of Razril)
          ? Painting (Grafitti)
   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Search the crate for a Treasure Map item. This is your ONLY chance to
get it! Head for the town entrance and choose to rest your day. You
part ways with your teammates.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.04   Hall of Knights
----------------------------------------------------------------------

(S) Save your game

You will be back at your room again. You can restore your HP and MP by
resting here. Save your game if you haven't do so. Exit the room. You
will meet Funghi in at the kitchen that is next to your room. Make
your way to courtyard. Exit the courtyard to the port and Snowe will
rejoin your party. You will be back at the courtyard. Make your way to
the training hall.

If you talk to the trainee before talking to your friends, you will be
fighting 3x Trainee where you can gain some experience points along
with 30p. This can be done infinite amount of times until you have
talked to your crew.

   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
   Trainee A                   HP:  10            Potch: 30p
   Trainee B                   HP:  10
   Trainee C                   HP:  10

   - This is really simple. Just attack...
   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Talk to one of your crew members (Tal, Keneth, Paula or Jewel) and you
will be able to form a party of four with Hero and Snowe as compulsory
members.

   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
   Senior Knight               HP:  50            Potch: Nil
   - This is really simple. Just attack...
   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Dowe will suggest changing the party member. Your selected members
will be replaced by ones that are not selected. I will not recommend
Tal before of his weak starting defense. To train Tal, bring in Keneth
and have him using Berserk Blow. Once Tal is level 2, he should be
able to survive on his own.

   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
   Senior Knight A             HP:  50           Potch: Nil
   Senior Knight B             HP:  50

   If you have Keneth, use him to cast Berserk Blow and all
   enemies will be killed.
   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

You will be given 2 options. The 2nd option will ends the whole
practice session.

   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
   Senior Knight A             HP:  50           Potch: Nil
   Senior Knight B             HP:  50           EXP:   200

   If you have Paula, use her to cast Wind of Sleep and attack
   enemies while they sleeping...
   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I supposed my hints are quite direct (^_^). Once you are done, pick
the bottom option "I've decided." You will be allowed to battle once
again with your desired formation. Exit the Hall of Knights and make
your way to Razril.

   ****************************************************************

Port Area
-------------
On the pathway, you will see 3 groups of ladies. Talk to one of them
and you will be prompted to comment on the food. Choose "It was very
delicious!" Do some shopping. The currency used in the game is potch.
For both equipment shop and armor shop, you will find a Bargain item
column where you can get some rare equipment and items (items also
include sealed orbs)

You will meet Chiepoo at the Equipment Shop. Remember the orbs that
you have gotten earlier. You can equip them by visiting Rune Shops.
Equiping and remove Runes requires you to pay 240p per enlightment.
I would recommend you to align the Water Rune you found earlier for
Hero. Search the chair next to bookshelf and you will get a Medicine!

 Random Battles - Back Street
 ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 If you are running out of money or potch, you can get some by
 fighting random battles at the back street area. There is a new
 enemy there. I recommend you to have all players at least level 4.

 Enemies: Hairball, Thug
 ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Town Square
----------------
You will meet Basil at the town square where you will get to play a
mini-game - Top Tossing. Please refer to Mini Games Section for more
details. It will cost you 100 potch per game. I won't recommend playing
it as you are pretty tied up on money.

Talk to the lady at right side of the square and you will get a
Mushroom! You will meet Konrad in the Inn. Search the bookshelf at the
northeast corner and you will get a Treasure Map! The hotel fee is
800p (!) There is nothing much to do other heading back to the port at
the Hall of Knights.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.06  Hall of Knights
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items:    Medicine x5

Well, that's all for your exploration for Dazil. Time to start work...
Proceed to the port area outside the Hall of Knights courtyard. Proceed
to the ship and it will trigger a cutscene. You will get 2 prompts.
Pick "Yes, let's go." and here are the jobs:

- Defeat wild sea creatures 3 times
- Deliver a document to Middleport

Choose the first one. Your objective is encounter 3 random battles.
The ship controls are rather hard to move as you need to twirl it
with the left analog stick to change its direction. Just loither
around area for 3 random battles.

 Random Battles - Sea near Razril
 ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 Enemies: Seaweed, Muddy Fish

 The enemies are pretty weak as you can handle them out easily
 with normal attacks. Just win 3 battles.
 ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

If you activate the main menu, you will find 2 options - Anchor and
Save. Anchor will allows you to enter the ship on board. Inside the
room found in Gaien Training Ship, there is a save point and a chest
containing 5x Medicine! To return back to the World Map, activate
menu and select "Depart".

Upon finishing the 3 battles, Snowe will prompt you where you want to
return back to the port. Choose to return and you will be back at the
port near Knights of Hall automatically. If you did not, you can
return back having your ship making contact with the island.

Return back to your room and heal your wounds (sleeping the inn or
resting in your own room recovers HP and MP). Return back here for
your second mission. Choose to go for the mission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.06   Departing for Middleport
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will be back at the world map and here are the controls

Up       Move ship forward      []             Activate Menu

Right    Turn ship right        Right Analog   Free rotate camera

The ship is a bit hard to control but it takes time for you to adapt
to it. Activate the menu and you will get to save your game or anchor
when you will get to access the ship. Hit the O button.

You will see the following list of commands:
X          Change Course

 ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 Enemies:  Wild Seaweed, Muddy Fish

As you see from the chart screen or world map, you will find that
Middleport is actually southeast off Razril. Just activate the chart
screen and point the your cursor at Middleport. Once you reach the
sea near Middleport, you will need to manually adjust your ship and
located the port (which is orange in colour). Just choose to dock it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.07   Middleport
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items:  Treasure Map x1, Mushroom x1, Antitoxin x1, Fancy Console x1
Potch:  2500p

Harbor
-----------
You will find a man and a knight at entrance way. Talk to them and you
will need kill a monster in the seas near Middleport. The battle is
quite tough and hence it would be advisible to visit the town first.

Below is the shopping list:

   ***************************************************************

It is rather hard to make shopping list for Suikoden IV as there are
a lot of items that randomly appears. This also applies to the trading
post. The prices of the tradable items varies from time to time. Make
use of buy low and sell high. You may need to reset your PS2 often to
get desired prices.

There is a trading post and appraiser shop in this area. You can
have the appraiser to appraise your ? Pots or Paintings that you
have obtained from battles while in Razril for 200p per appraisal.
Once these items have been uncovered, you sell them for large
amount of money! If you appraise the 2 items - one of them is the Pot
of Razril while other one is Graffiti.

There is nothing much to do other than heading for the Town Square.

Middleport (Centre Square)
-----------------------------
Well, you have saved up a lot of potch up to now. In the left
hand side of the square, you will meet Gunter where you can play
a dice mini-game (please refer to mini-games for more details). You
can play Down-to-One (min. 80p) or Triple Toss (min. 100p)

Head for the pathway behind him and it will leads the backstreet.
The street is a straightforward one and it leads to an empty house.
Search the barrel located on the right of the door and you will get
a Antitoxin. Search the chest nearby and you find another Mushroom.

Retrace your steps and move back to the Square. You can find the
equipment shop, armor shop and smithery on the top left hand corner
of the screen. Pay a visit to the Smithery and you will meet Adrienne
there. I recommend you to upgrading the character's weapon as it will
raise their attack. Upgrade Hero's weapon to level 3. As for attaching
Rune pieces, ignore it for the time being.

You will meet Pecola outside the inn who is being surrounded by a
group of woman. Visit the inn and search the paintings in the inn for
another Treasure Map item. It is in the southeast corner. There is a
spinning game but it requires you to have a Lottery Ticket. You can
save your game by talking to female innkeeper and sleep there for 120p.
Stay in the inn and make sure you some MP for magic casters. You can
earn a Supplementary Ticket by purchasing 500p in Middleport. Once
you got 5 of these, you will earn a lottery ticket. Visit the lottery
corner.

Just rotate the right analog stick and your prize depends on the ball
that drops from the box.

1st place (yellow):  1st time - Pirate King Crown
                     2nd time - Diamond
                     3rd time - 10000 potch
2nd place (red)   :  Sunbeam Orb
3rd place (green) :  Jizo Clock
4th place (blue)  :  Mega Medicine
5th place (white) :  Medicine

Take the central path and head north...

Middleport (Lord's Mansion)
----------------------------
You will find a chest on the right of the gates. It contain a Fancy
Console. There is nothing much to do in the mansion. Return back to the
harbour. Talk to Knight. Hit the ocean.

Loither your ship around Middleport for random battles. Wait until you
have encounter a Damp Hairball (a black flurry object). Once you got
that, prepare for a tough fight.

   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
   Damp Hairball               HP:  ~350          Potch: 500
   It is really hard as your attacks weaken even if Hero's
   weapon has been upgraded to level 3. Damp Hairball's attack
   are generally normal except it could cast a water spell that
   does around 20+ HP damage to all characters. Make use of
   Kindness Drops or Medicine once a character is low on HP.

   Items: ? Pot (Pot of Razril)
   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Upon defeating it, return back to Middleport and you will get another
2000p by talking to the fisherman. Now there is much to do in the
town or you might want to play some dice. Go back to Razril.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.08   Hall of Knights
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items:   Nothing!

You will meet Katarina and there will be an uncoming mission where
both Hero and Snowe has a separate mission. Approach the gates of
the courtyard and your other 2 members will leave the current party.

There will be some cutscenes and you will introduced to Ramada at
the Audience Chamber. There will be another cutscene between Snowe
and Hero. Next you are free to roam. Make your way to the port and
Snowe will part ways with you. Now make your way to Razril. The shops
are selling the same stuff but you will find new items under the
Bargain items hence check it out...

Make your way towards the port area that is outside the enterance
that leads to the main street. You will meet Akaghi and Mizuki and
a cutscene. Once the cutscene is over, return back to the Hall of
Knights. At the entrance of the courtyard, you will find Snowe. Talk
to him. Make your way to Audience Chamber and talk to Ramada. Pick
the first option.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.09   Trip to IIluya

                   Naval Battle #2 - Pirate Brandeau

 Victory conditions:
 Emerge victorious against the 2 enemy pirate ships.

 They are having fire and lightning elements and you are the captain
 too. You will need to pick your elements. Choose them wisely.

 Strategy:
 The enemy will be able to move twice. Once you are done. Move towards
 in range against Pirate Ship A (with a flag). Use Knight of Gaien 2's
 Rune Cannon against it. Lightning is weak against Earth. Once the
 Pirate Ship A attacks you again, counter with Knight of Gaien 2's
 Rune Cannon. The battle is over in a blink of an eye...

 Next handle Pirate Ship B using Knight of Gaien 3's Rune Cannon.
 Congrats as you are victorous!

                   Naval Battle #3 - Retribution
 ____________________________________________________________________
 Pirate Dario vs Knights of Gaien

 Victory conditions:
 Emerge victorious against the enemy pirates!

 There are 2 ships. One of the ship has a Fire Rune while the
 flagship has two Runes - Fire and Wind. On your side, you have Snowe
 commanding another ship.

 Snowe Ship's stats
 -------------------
 Gaien Ship                    
 Explore:     4
 Range:       3
 Endurance:   17
 Captain:     Snowe

 Range:       3                 Range:       3

 Captain:     Dario             Captain:     Pirate Captain
 Rune Cannon: Nalleo (Wind)     Rune Cannon: Pirate (Fire)
              Pirate (Fire)
 Underlings:  80                Underlings:  70

 Tal      Underlings 8     Rune: Earth
 Paula    Underlings 10    Rune: Wind
 Keneth   Underlings 10    Rune: Lightning
 Jewel    Underlings 8     Rune: Water

 Since both the ships have Fire Rune on their side. Jewel is an obvious
 choice as Water is strong against Fire. Choose Tal or Kneneth as your
 second Rune ability. For my case I opt for Tal as I haven't been using
 him for my previous missions and he is in a low level.

 Have Snowe to fight the main flagship while your crew focus on Pirate
 Ship B. Attack with your Water Rune Cannon. While Snowe and Dario are
 wrecking the hell out of each other. Get into range and fire with your
 Water Rune Cannon. This is quite an easy naval battle.
 ____________________________________________________________________

This is followed by some more cutscenes... and you will be given the
following prompts:

a) We've got to help Snowe. Hurry!
b) I guess we have no choice...

Pick the top option. This is followed by some more cutscenes. Both
Hero and Snowe has been summoned to Glen's room. You will have some
cutscenes. Exit the room and there will be a cutscene between Snowe
and Hero. Make your way to the room and examine your bed. Pick the
bottom option to sleep.

Once you are awaken, proceed to Kitchen and talk to Funghi. You will
recieve the Commander's Meal again. Make your way to the commander's
room. There will be another cutscene and a piece of bad news... Exit
the room.

   Wild Crab B                 HP: 90

   Destroy the wild crabs first and attack the Giant Crab with
   your normal attacks.

   Items: N/A
   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

This is followed by a cutscene and you will be given the following
prompt:

a) "I'll try using the power of the Rune!"
b) "I can't use the power of this Rune!"

Pick the top option. The boss will become exposed and 6 more wild
crabs appear on the map.

   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
   Wild Crab A                 HP: 90               Potch: 3280
   Wild Crab B                 HP: 90
   Wild Crab C                 HP: 90
   Boss Crab                   HP: 1300
   Wild Crab D                 HP: 90
   Wild Crab E                 HP: 90
   Wild Crab F                 HP: 90

   Start off by casting Berserk Blow which should eliminate all
   the wild crabs with 1 blow. While the remaining 2 characters
   attack the boss. The crab has two main attacks - a breath
   attack that does around 45 HP damage to a single character
   while breath type attack that does around 30 HP damage to all
   allies. By this time, Hero should have a Kindness Rain if his
   level is around level 24. Use it when your party's HP is
   critical low. As like before Chiepoo does not have any Rune,
   thus have him use items to heal the wounds. Focus all your
   attacks and make use of attack spells especially Hero's
   Punishment Rune.

   Items: Crab Bun, Giant Crab's Shell, Seashell, Shell
   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

another boss fight:

   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
   Killer Ray                  HP: 900              Potch: 1600
   Killer Ray                  HP: 900

   The killer ray looks like sting ray to me. They have a
   combined attack that does 60+ HP damage to all allies.
   Therefore it is highly recommend that you killed one of them
   off first. The laser beam attack does around 40+ HP to one
   ally. When one of the Rays' HP is low, they can cast a
   restorative spell that cures around 40+ HP. That is the
   signal that one of the Rays is dying. Go for the killer.
   Attack spells are extremely useful. Use Hero's Eternal Ordeal
   if you have it.

   Items: Water Rune Piece, Jizo Clock, Mega Medicine
   =-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Talk to everyone and your team will be saved by another ship. You will

left hand and you will meet Flare. Make your way to the cabin. There
is a save point where you can save your game. Search the desk behind
the princess for another Treasure Map. Talk to the princess. Talk to
everyone and lastly talk to Desmond. It will be continued with another

and Desmond. You will also meet the King of Obel - Lino En Kludes and
you will receive the Ruins Entry Permit, which allows you to access
the ruins. Next Lino will tell Desmond to bring you to your new "home".

Talk to the path heading northwest.

- Cliff Path -
 ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 Enemies: Killer Rodent
 - Be careful as the Rodents are able to perform a suicide attack
   that could instantly kill a character!
 ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Just move north up the cliff path and you will reach a cave. Well it
turns out to be a base. You will meet Louise who will be guarding the
saloon of yoru base. She will join you along with Tov and Chadli.
From now onwards, you can start recruiting 108 stars of destiny, a
tradition that has been present in the Suikoden series. One of the
old Knights of Gaien member will talk to Hero and you will be given
the following prompt:

a) You're right. Let's do our best
b) Living on this island might be fun too.

Pick the top option and your members will left your party. Talk to
Louise and you can choose to stay in the inn or save your game. Talk
to her and you can setup your party members. You can even have Louise
as a support character. Now make your way up the stairs and proceed to
Hero's room. Go and rest... You will have another cutscenes. Go down
the stairs and talk to Desmond and you will find out that you can use
the patrol ship. If you have added Louise as your support member, you
can talk to Desmond to reform your party. Head for the Saloon and talk
to Louise to form your party.

Now you have 2 choices. The first one is go and wreck the ruins, which
is unadvisable as the enemies are really tough there or do some
exploration using the patrol ship, which is at the harbour. Hence,
let's do some side quests, gains some levels and upgrade your
equipment!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Town of Obel
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items:   Seashell
SOD:     Ornan (#64) - Wool Loincloth, Shin Guards

Exit your base and there will be some cutscenes. Visit the palace and
talk to the granny at the antechamber for a Seashell. You will find
Noah and you can play a card game ranging from 500 to 5000 and it is
a tough one unless you know the rules. Exit the antechamber and you
will find Ema and Gary at the courtyard. Head for the washing area
and talk to Ornan.

All right
That would be a little...

Choose the top option and he will join your party.

    LV 11                              Notes:
    Ornan               STR   29       You cannot disarm the Waking
    HP:   130/130       SKL   34       Rune from Ornan. He starts off
    MP:   LV 1:  3/3    MAG   30       in Sleep status and can only be
          LV 2:  1/1    EVA   22       awaken once he was hit by a
          LV 3:  0/0    PDF   30       physical attack.
          LV 4:  0/0    MDF   33
                        SPD   40
    ATK   49   DEF  30  LUC   42

   Initial Equipment:
   Wool Loincloth, Shin Guards
   Runes:  Waking Rune
   Weapon: Sheep's Horn
   WPN LVL    1
   WPN PWR    20

(If you want him in your party, go to your base and talk to Louise or
 Desmond to change your members)

Proceed to the harbour and talk to the guard. Don't bother to head
anchor your ship as there is nothing to take. Do not head too far off
Obel otherwise your character will be in trouble if you encounter
enemies that are too strong for your party. I would recommend you to
get everyone's weapon level for your current party to level 6 and best
defensive equipment for everyone in your current party. Bring Louise
as your support party.

 ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 Around in the World

 The world of Suikoden is bound by endless seas and surprisingly when
 you reach the "borders" of the map, your ship will automatically
 U-turn. As your party isn't quite strong at the moment, I suggest
 you to travel within the area where you find Obel, Mordo Island, Nay
 Island and Na-Nal.

 Please note that HP are based on my estimations. Apparently, enemies'
 HP will gain as Hero and his parties level up.

 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 Enemies: Speckled Ray, Jellyfish Man, Poison Lizard (near Obel),
          Giant Bat (near Obel), Fly Lizard (near Na-Nal), Damp
          Hairball (near Na-Nal), Demon Hairball (east of Obel)
          Spiny Grecko (east of Obel), Leviathan (rare)

 - Most of the time in the ocean, you will encounter Speckled Ray or
   Jellyman Fish. Avoid heading east of Obel at this point of time
   as your party are considered weak and you may encounter enemies
   that are beyond your reach and you may end up anchoring after a
   battle is over. Once you encounter the Leviathan, I recommend you
   to escape as it has a whooping 7000+ HP...
  ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mordo Island
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items:   Treasure Map, Window Set 4

The small pointed hilly island is located a bit northwest off Obel.
Sail until you find a brown pointy island. Board it and you have
reached Mordo Island. If you observe carefully on the map, there is
a pitch of brown colour surrounding that region. If you still have
problem in getting the world, please refer to the world map that can
be found at GameFAQs <http://www.gamefaqs.com>

 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 Enemies: Killer Rodent, Paradise Bee, Blue Rodent, Yellow Rodent,
          Red Rodent, Rodent Leader

 - Killer Rodents has a high possibility to inflict a suicide attack
   that kills one character and itself. Hence, take note.

 - Paradise Bee's attack can cause Poison.

 - The Rodents could inflict the balloon status on your characters.
   They will normally appear in gangs of either one of these 2
   formations:

 Formation #1
 Rodent Leader x2 & Yellow Rodent x2
 Items: Stone of Speed, Wind Rune Piece, 1360p
 This is more common formation that you will like to encounter while
 on Mordo Island. Just attack the Rodent Leaders first and finish off
 the remaining Rodents.

 Formation #2
 Rodent Leader, Yellow Rodent x2, Blue Rodent x2, Red Rodent x2
 Items: Stone of Magic, Wind Rune Piece, 2520p
 If you saw this combination of enemies, start to use an attack
 spell especially Hero's Double-Edged Swd if you have it. Since the
 purpose of battling in Mordo Island is to gain levels and training.
 You can also use Rush attack (when the yellow bar below the character
 status is maxed out)
 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

You will encounter random battles while on the island and they aren't
easy unless your members are around level 25 and above. There are 2
tents on the harbour planks. One of them leads to a hot springs where
you can go for a dip to restore your lost HP and MP while other one
is a trading post. There is an informant who will offer you some
information when you paid him 100p. Search the baskets behind the
Hot Spring Tent and you will get another Treasure Map. There is a
chest behind the trading post and you can get Window Set 4 item.

the time being. Go to the town instead.

- Town -
You will find the smithery at the lower right end of the map.
Northeast from the smithery, you will find a chest and it contains
another Treasure Map. Visit the Village Chief's house. Search the
bookshelf there for another Treasure Map. Now take the path heading
northeast leading from here and you will reach the High Ground area.

 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 Enemies: Golden Wolf, Killer Fly, Savage Sprout

 - Golden Wolf has an attack that could cause your character turn
   into stone (counter it with Kindness Drops)
 - Killer Fly has an attack that could cause poison
 - Savage Sprout has a lot of HP (around 500HP) and has an attack
   that could gobble 3 members of the party for damage and
   ocassionally causing poison.
 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Make your way down the pathway and you will reach Suspension Bridge.
Move past the yellow marker and you will reach Nay-Kobold Settlement.
Oh boy, it looks a circus to me ^_^

There is a lottery post and you will meet Bang there. I almost miss it
^_^). It is on right side of the path that leads to the upper area of
settlement. On the left side of the path, you will find the trading
post. There is a merchant who will give you information when you pay
him 100p. Gold ore could fetch a good price in Obel. You will meet
Perrault who is on the left of the counter. Talk to him.

Pick the top option and choose the top option again for the
subsequent prompt. Pick any of the following options and he will join
you!

There is a chest containing a Lightning Orb in the northeast corner
of the area. The chest is located behind the appraiser. Move up the
walkway that contours around the building behind the lottery shop and
you will find a pathway leading a lone resisdence house where you will
meet Bartholomew. Move up the swirling path within his house and it
will lead you to a chest containing Old Book Volume 3!

Take a turn off the right of his house and you will reach a large purple
building where you find the hotspring. Search the tree behind the
hotspring building (you need to go to the back from the left side and
you will find another Treasure Map) Now, there is nothing much to do
except for hitting seas for more exploration.

SOD:     Mitsuba (13) - Iron Helm, Iron Mail, Iron Boots
         Reinhold (14) - Iron Mail, Iron Boots, Lightning Rune
         Rita (15) - Chain Mail, Gauntlet, Shin Guards, Star Earrings

Head east off from Nay and you will find Na-Nal. It is a large island
hence it is hard to miss it in my opinion.

 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
 Enemies: Paradise Bee
 - Like Killer Flies, they could also cause Poison
 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

  Power. This scenario appears to happen only if Hero is slightly
  wounded in the battle.

  You're dead!!                                       -> Guard
  Hahaha not yet, not yet!                                     -> Special

* I got these stats when I return back to the base in Obel.

The path on the most right hand corner leads to an empty jail with a
treasure that you can't access it at the momment. The northeast path
leads to the Gorge where you will have some storyline event The
lefthand most path leads to the Chief's house. Visit it and you
will find a chest containing Stone of Strength, which adds +1 to a
character's attack permanently. I would normally opt this for the main
lead. Use it on Hero.

It is time to make your way back to Obel...
