INTRODUCTION >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi! you may have seen my other faqs, but this time, I will create a new faq for Suikoden II. Anyway, thanks for all support in my previous faqs! You can contact me by E-mail or ICQ now. As always, there are 108 Stars of Destiny in Suikoden II, But, it has many improvement. Such as a character can equip 3 runes and the party have a bag that can carry around 30 items. Oh yeah, some old characters from Suikoden I have been back in Suikoden II also. However, the music, graphic, and the story somehow have been improved. And this game is seems to be the most impressing game for anyone. *I have tried to keep spoilers down in this faq/walkthrough, but im still warning you* E-mail: arsin@indosat.net.id ICQ : 55139575 Site : http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Dragon/3939 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ib.

GAME SYSTEM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Status Menu: ------------ ____________ | | Character Name | | Level | Face | Strength Experience | | Skill Guard |____________| Magic Magic Defense Speed Luck Head Rune R. Hand Rune L. Hand Rune Attack Defense Weapon Name Range Weapon Level Weapon Attack Weapon Rune *Experience is measured in 1000 points per level The character's range is as follows: S (short) : can only fight in front row, attacks front row only M (medium): can attack from front or back, attacks front row only L (long) : can attack from front or back, attacks both rows Normal Battle: -------------- The battle consist the maximum of 6 allies and 6 enemies. First, there are some selection in the upperleft corner: Fight: Fight the enemies manually. Run : Run from the battle, may fail. Bribe: Bribe the enemies. Auto : Let the computer control the attack (normal attack). If Fight was chosen, the menu below will appear: Attack: Attack enemy with weapon. Defend: 1/2 physical damage in the current round. Rune : Uses rune. Item : Uses equipped items (only 3 items/character). You also can draw items from the bag. Unite : 2 or more person combination (you must have certain characters in the battle first). Shift : Changes row (front->back, back->front) Duel Battle: ------------ Seems to be same as the other one in Suikoden I. The commands are perfectly same. Here are the commands: Attack: Normal Attack. Win against "Defend" Defend: Defend from attack. 1/2x damage if enemy attacks. Will counterattack if enemy use Desperate Attack. Wild Attack: x2 damage. Win against "Attack". Lose against "Defend" (counterattacked). Strategy Battle: ---------------- Really, really different from the other one in Suikoden I. It is much more difficult to learn and win. ___________ ___ |MMM|FFF|FFF|A1 | MMM: Mountains |___|___|___|___| FFF: Forest |MMM| |E1 | | A1 : Hero's group (Soldier Type) |___|___|___|___| A2 : Heroine's group (Archer Type) |MMM|A2 | |E2 | E1 : Enemy's group 1 (Magic Type) |___|___|___|___| E2 : Enemy's group 2 (Cavalry Type) See? it is like that. Every group contains 3 characters maximum. The commander of the group will have certain "Attack" and "Defend" skills and the characters supporting him/her give him/her some skills/attacks attribute (such as Atck. +2, Def. +1, Scout ability). There are a lot of combination, just try them. There are 4 types of group: Soldier: Move 1, Attack range 1, will be countered. Archer : Move 1, Attack range 1-2, can be countered by archer/magic. Magic : Move 1, Attack range 1-3, can be countered by archer/magic. Archer Cavalry: Move 2, Attack range 1-2, countered by archer/magic. Cavalry: Move 2, Attack range 1, will be countered. *Every group have HP, mainly in sword slash* So, say if in turn 1, A2 (Archer) attack E2 (remember the attack range of an archer group?) so E2 can't counterattack (E2 is a Cavalry type, but the archers only counterattacked by archer/magic). Then, A1 (Soldier) move downwards 1 block and attack E2 (this will causes A1 will attack and E2 will counterattack). Now, you got it all? now test your ability in the real one! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IV. Walkthrough >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chapter 1, The Kingdom of Highland and The Mercenaries -------------------------------------- (Hero recruited) 1/108 You will start in Highland Camp. With Jowy, your best friend, you can explore the Highland Camp. Now get out of the camp, and head east, east and you will see a mysterious man who will flee. Now go back to your camp and choose to sleep. You'll awake by the sounds of attack. Captain Rowd will tell you to go east. Now head east, east and Jowy will advise you to go back to see Captain Rowd again. Back in the camp, Rowd meets Prince Luca. The ambush is false, the Highland attack its own camp to make an excuse to attack the City-State. Talk to Rowd and some soldiers will attack you. They are easy, just use Hero-Jowy Unite attack (Buddy Attack) and attack the commander. Run to the northwest, northwest and you'll meet Rowd again. Some soldiers attack you again. Now you have to choose, jump or not. Just jump and after that, you and Jowy will be separated. --Mercenary Fort-- After some event with the old guys from Suikoden I (I wont tell you). You're taken to their Mercenary Fort and placed in a cell. There are several task for you in order to eat. First, Move the boxes to the wall, and take the rope. Its easy, just hold the arrow button and the boxes will be pushed. Second, you have to get some items; 2 pair of boots, 3 flints, and 2 bags of flour. Go to Barbara (in the southwest corner) to get the boots (you can take 1 more for an extra boots, hehe, you bastard). Now go to the blacksmith (northcenter area) to take the flints. Now go to the item shop upstairs (east area) but they say they out of flours. Go see Pohl again, and now go upstairs and talk to Leona (in the counter) and she will assigns Gengen to follow you, Tuta helps you also. Now head to the world map and go to Ryube village (just northeast of the Fort). (Barbara recruited) 2/108 Automatically join you (Leona recruited) 3/108 Automatically join you (Gengen recruited) 4/108 Automatically join you --Ryube-- In Ryube, you can buy some items/armor/upgrade weapons, but I suggest dont do that now. If you go to the item shop, you will get the flours automatically. Now head back to the Mercenary Fort (try the battle if you like) to give the flours to Pohl. Now the third task; Wipe up the oil! use the rag given by Pohl to clean up the oil in the Fort. Search and clean them all and talk to Pohl again. In the night, Jowy call you, answer him. Now you will be caught by Flik (you can bust or surrender). Now you will be interrogated, answer anything, they are going to the same answer after all. During the night, Jowy finds a way to escapes. And you escape. Now you are free to explore, but I suggest go to Ryube first. Now check the north area of the village and you will see the entertainers in there. They will choose you as a partner of -Knife tossing, just calm down. The entertainers are Rina, Eilie, and Bolgan. Choose 1 to let them join you. Go to the North Sparrow Past (north of Ryube). Past the guard, and go ahead to your first dungeon. --North Sparrow Pass-- Treasures: Fire Wall, Escape Talisman, Brass Armor, Kindness Drops. You'll note the rabbit enemies here, they can give you Double-Beat crystal (very usefull). In your first branch, go left to take the chest (Fire Wall) and check the pool which will restore your HP and MP to full. Go right to the next screen. Now take the right path to get the chest (Escape Talisman) and go back to left path and up to the next screen. Now head right again to get Brass Armor, go back and go left to the next screen. Go up, and dont go north to the path first, go right and save in the save point first. Now go north and face your first boss. BOSS: Mist Shade ---------------- HP: 800, 2000 bits, Kindness Drops This is your first boss, but dont underestimate him. Have Hero and Jowy attack/use medicine. Bolgan, Eilie, and Rina should use their Circus Attack. And while Bolgan is unbalance, have Rina or Eilie use their attack/magic. The boss have 3 times attacks (20hp/atck). Continue up to the next screen. Take the right path to get Feathered Hat. Now go back and up to the world map. --Kyaro-- Treasure: Old Book Vol.1, Famous Vase/Large Vase/?, Hazy Rune In the entrance of Kyaro; Rina,Eilie,and Bolgan will leave your party. Jowy will leave you also (to his home in Kyaro too). Now you may want to save your game. Save in the inn. Now head northwest to your home. Before you enter your home, you can go north to the big tree. (Mukumuku recruited) 5/108 Go to the big tree in the back of Hero's house and check it (2 or 3 times) to get Mukumuku. Go inside you house and check the dresser in the southwest corner room for an ?Book (Old Book Vol.1). Now go to the backdoor to meet Nanami (she is really...), Before you can leave you house, some guards come and try to arrest you. Fight them. There are 5 of them but they are not too difficult (you may want to use Family Attack with Hero-Nanami). You can win Hazy Rune rarely from them. _____________________________________________________________________ JAA's note: Sometimes, in a rare occasions, Family Attack will do something different. Nanami will do something weird while the Hero fighting the enemy (doing more damage) and Nanami is healed. _____________________________________________________________________ (Nanami recruited) 6/108 Automatically join you. You will meet Jowy and will be executed. In the way, you meet Princess Jillia (of Highland). Before you have been executed, Flik and Viktor saves you and Jowy. You now have to save Nanami but... However, now go out of Kyaro to the world map and go back to the North Sparrow Pass. Note that Flik and Viktor have joined you now (temporary). --North Sparrow Pass-- Go all the way to the south and meet the guard. The guard will let you go. Now head to the Mercenary Fort. --Mercenary Fort-- Viktor and Flik will leave you now. Now you can freely gain some recruitments out there. You can change your party if you want, just talk to Leona. (Rikimaru recruited) 7/108 Go to Ryube and talk to him near the inn. Just pay his meal (3000 bits) _____________________________________________________________________ SIDE QUEST: SEARCH FOR BONAPARTE Characters gotten: Millie, Shiro, Kinnison. For the other, you must finish a side quest first. First, go to Ryube and talk to Millie in the northeast area of the village. She will ask you to search Bonaparte (her Pet),agree. Now you will be in a dungeon north of Ryube. --Ryube Forest-- Treasure: Leather Cape, Gauntlet. If you go south, you will go back to Ryube and Millie leaves your party, so you must find Bonaparte in order to get her. In the first fork, go left and put the baby bird back in the nest. Now continue to the next screen. Now go left in the fork to take the treasures (Leather Cape, Gauntlet). Go back and go right, and pass the bridge to a house. Check the house, its empty, so go back (you may need to know it). Now go back to the baby bird nest to find Shiro and Kinnison and say the truth (you put the baby bird back) and choose 1 to let them join you. You can put them or one of them in your party, but be sure not to remove Nanami (you need her). Now go back to the very first fork and go right. Millie will find Bonaparte but he run away, after him and fight him. BOSS: Bonaparte --------------- Just use Unite attack (Shiro-Kinnison or Hero-Nanami) and the other just attack/use medicine. This should be not too hard. When you win, Millie finally can use her rune and she will join you. (Shiro recruited) 8/108 Join after above sidequest (finding Bonaparte) (Kinnison recruited) 9/108 Join after above sidequest (finding Bonaparte) (Millie recruited) 10/108 Join after above sidequest (finding Bonaparte) _____________________________________________________________________ Now head back to Ryube and you can sleep at the inn or buy some items or if you have some money, use them to upgrade your weapons at the blacksmith. Now head to Toto (northwest of Ryube, follow the road). --Toto-- In Toto, Pilika, a girl from a family who have saved Jowy in the waterfall event, come to see Jowy. After some events, Pilika wants you to buy her a wooden amulet for her father's birthday. She will give you 70 bits. (Zamza recruited) 11/108 Go to the inn in Toto and talk to Zamza near the counter. Nanami must be in party. Now prepare, and leave Toto village through the west bridge. In the world map, follow the road to northwest (see a little house in the forest near Muse City? it is an inn). _____________________________________________________________________ GLITCH/SECRETS: Submitted by John Case (caser1234@e-mail.msn.com) At a very early point in the game, "before Toto is burned down an hour or two in during the Pilika side-quest" when you go to the Muse area, go north to the Muse-Matilda border, although the guards tell you that you may not enter, you can push the gate right off its hinges. You can keep pushing the gate until you enter the world map:) Once you enter the Matilda area you have full access to towns such as Rockaxe and Highway village. I'm not sure what else you can do here because if you get attacked even once you will be slaughtered, no matter how much you have built up. There is only one problem, the game might lock up. It locked up on me when I tried to advance the Dragon-Knight plot in Highway village. Just open the playstation lid then close it. If you save the game here then reset there doesn't seem to be anymore problems. "I have not used any cheats, like gameshark, or anything else that would result in glitches." I would like to know if this glitch is just localized to my game "which is brand-new" or if this happens on everyone's game. If you have time would you e-mail me, at your convenience, to tell me if you have or have not heard of this before. John Case caser1234@e-mail.msn.com _____________________________________________________________________ --Muse City-- Enter the city, and buy whatever you need. You may want to go to world map and go to Coronet (south of Muse) to upgrade your weapon (you can raise your weapon to level 5). When you ready, buy the wooden amulet in the item shop (it cost 500 bits, but if you choose 2, Jowy will sell his ring for 1500 bits). Now head back to the world map and go back to Toto village. --Toto-- When you cross the bridge, Toto has burned down. Jowy then finds Pilika crying in front of her house. Apple will appear and she asks you to take her to the Mercenary Fort. Pilika and Apple will join you as convoy (non-combat). The cave in Toto now has been opened, but there are not much to do there. (Hanna recruited) 12/108 Talk to her in Toto (after Toto is burned). (Apple recruited) 13/108 Automatically joins you. --Mercenary Fort-- Back to the Mercenary Fort, go to the meeting room (2nd floor) after an event. Viktor asks you to find Tsai to fix the fire spears. Flik then gives you money for Tsai's payment (2000 bits). Tsai lives in Ryube forest (you may guess it). Go to Ryube village and go to Ryube forest. --Ryube Forest-- Go through the forest to where the cabin is (you know it, see above if you forgot). No one is in the cabin yet, but just wait and Tsai will appear and join you (he wont take your 2000 bits). Now head back to Ryube village. (Tsai recruited) 14/108 Automatically joins you. --Ryube-- As you are leaving the forest, Ryube is under attack. The villagers are killed by Luca Blight mercilessly. Just when you try to attack them, Tsai knock you out to save you. Now go back to the Fort. --Mercenary Fort-- Go meet Flik and the others in the meeting room. They tell you to go to Muse City and leave the rest to them. Offer to join them instead. Flik will test your ability. DUEL: Flik ---------- It is easy, you just have to do 50 damage to win this duel. Now you will be back in your room. Decide your company name (this will also creates your country name). The next morning, Apple will tell you the battle plan. Choose 2 to start the battle. ---Strategy Battle (1)----------------------------------------------- Winning condition: Defeat enemy commander. Turn 3-Enemy retreats. This battle is not hard. Listen to Apple for the tutorial. Use the fire spears to make it more easy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, the opponents attack again. ---Strategy Battle (2)----------------------------------------------- Winning condition: Turn 3-Enemy reinforcements appear Losing condition: Enemy enters the fort You will lose in this battle, so dont even care. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Once the enemy enter the fort, Viktor and Flik asks the Hero and Jowy to run. But you have to save Pilika first. Go to the meeting room (after fighting several Highland Soldiers on your way). You notice there are Pohl, Nanami and Luca in the room. Pohl is died protecting Pilika. Flik and Viktor come to rescue. You run while Viktor and Flik blow away all the remaining Fire Spears. Note the party now consist Hero, Jowy, Nanami, and 3 random picked members. Now go to Toto village. Chapter 2, The Beginning of a Destiny --------------------------------------- --Toto-- In Toto, Pilika goes to the cave, follow her. The Hero and Jowy will be teleported into the inner area of the cave and they will meet Leknaat. You and Jowy will get a new rune. The Hero will get the Bright Shield rune. And Jowy will get the Black Sword rune. Take the power and you will get them. Now you will be teleported back to the outer cave area by Leknaat. Now go back out of Toto and go to Muse City. --Muse City-- In Muse, the guards will not let you go in. So go back out to the world map and go to the inn (just east of Muse). --White Deer Inn-- When you enter the inn, you'll be welcomed by Hilda. As you want to rent, Alex, Hilda's husband appears and says he has found a way to open the ruin's gate. The party then sleep for a night. In the morning, Alex rushes out. He will lend his Entry Permit if you want to help him explore the Sindar ruins. Now head to the ruin. --Sindar Ruin-- Treasures: Stone of Magic, Mega Medicine, Angry Blow, Gauntlet, Shoulder Pads, Fire Lizard Crystal, Chain Mail, Water Crystal, Old Book Vol.2, Magic Drain Crystal, Spark Crystal. After Alex has opened the door, go straight and left to get the chests (Stone of Magic, Mega Medicine). Next, go north to the next area. At the next intersection go north (south is a dead-end). Go upstairs to cross over the stream. Also, pick up the Angry Blow from the path south, next to the stream. On the other side, you can find a Gauntlet. Now head up to the next section. There is a door which you cant open yet right now, so head left and push a statue back to its place to open the door in north to find a chest (Shoulder Pads) and a Round plate. Place the Round Plate near the locked door to open it. In the area with a snake statue, go left across the bridge to find a Triangle Plate. Go further left to find a broken door (just enter it, you can) to find a chest (Fire Lizard Crystal). Now head back to the statue and go up. Now go left across the bridge to find another statue, a save point and a door needing a Square Plate to be opened. Head back right across the bridge and go right and up some stairs. Now drop the Triangle Plate to close the water system. Head back to the intersection (without the statue) and go up, up through a broken bridge to find a chest (Chain Mail). Go back to the broken bridge and go down into the canal. Go down all the way and find a chest (Water Crystal) go back and up and left and take the Square Plate. Go back to the intersection (with the snake statue) and go to the right. Open the door and find 2 chests (Old Book Vol.2) and (Magic Drain Crystal). Now go to the save point area and open the door.

Have Jowy uses his Black Sword rune and have the Hero uses his Bright Shield rune when your party's hp is critical. Other than that, just use Unites and spells or normal attack. Climb the stairs and take the treasure. At the exit, Alex drop the treasure. Now go back to the inn. Pilika and Pete (their son) will rushes in and tell you that Hilda has fallen ill. Jowy is sent to search a doctor. Now head back to the Ruin's gate and take the "Herb". Now go to the inn and bring the Herb to Nanami. Hilda will be recovered after taking the Herb. The next morning, Alex will give his Entry Permit. You also can stay at the inn for free. Now head to Muse City with Alex's Entry Permit. --Muse City (revisited)-- Treasures: Old Book Vol.4, Recipe #3, Sound Set #1. When you enter the city, the Hero will act like Alex, Nanami as Hilda and Jowy as Pete. All is going well until Jowy is recognized. You will be thrown into the prison. In the night you see an event and you will be saved by Viktor and others. They tell you to go to Leona's bar (in the inn) and meet them in the city hall (north end). At the bar, Leona will take care of Pilika while you go to the meeting hall. Viktor meets you in the hallway and will meets Annabelle (mayor of Muse city and the leader of Jowston City-State Alliance). Annabelle then know Jowy, and Hero and Nanami as the adopted children of Genkaku. She will tell about that later. Now you'll left and taken care by Jess. Now talk to Jess.

Inside the Highland Camp, go to the northeast corner and enter the camp (the guard, luckily, will let you in). Check the tent and you will notice, there is only 2 weeks of food. As you exit, Rowd will notice you. Now take the chest near the provisions tent (Fire Sealing Crystal) and then enter the big tent to meet Princess Jillia. Afterwards, its time to escape, Rowd capture you again and you have to fight some soldiers. Jowy then hold them up while you run. Jowy then uses his Black Sword rune... You and your party then flee and go back to Muse City. --Muse City-- Go see Jess and go to the meeting hall. You cant go in now. Nanami suggests to seek Flik and others. Go to the bar to meet them. Nanami then will explains what has been happened to Jowy. They go with you to the meeting hall to see Annabelle once again. Annabelle apologizes, but she cant do anything to it. Nanami will wait Jowy in the front gate of Muse. Join her. Pilika will come to wait Jowy too. After a long wait, Jowy's finally back. A week passes. And you will notice there is some event in Jowston Hill. Go to there (just go to the northwest corner and through the windy way). You'll meet Viktor in there, but the guard wont let you in.

Go to the docks, in the dock, go to the east area and talk to Tai Ho and Yam Koo. You can use Yam Koo's fishing rod, but you must pay 100 bits for the bait. Anyway, here's how to fish. Just cast out with your rod. Once you have cast out your line, just wait for a fish to strike. If you get tired of waiting and want to quit, press triangle button to reel in your line. But you will have to change the bait. When you have got a fish on the line, press the cross button quickly to increase your pulling power. The green gauge on the right is your Pulling Power. You have to match this with the fish's Pulling Power. As it struggles, it's Pulling Power will change, so be careful to keep them in sync. If the gauge turns red, it means you're pulling too hard and if you keep it up, you will pull the hook right out of its mouth. On the other hand, if it turns blue, you're not pulling hard enough and the fish will soon tear the hook off. There are 8 err...7 types of fish, plus a err...extraordinary fish (+_+). Here they are: 1.Salmon : For cooking. Expensive, rare fish. 2.Shrimp : For cooking. 3.Shelfish : For cooking. 4.Whitefish : For cooking. 5.BlowFish : Not for eat. 6.StoneFish : Not for eat. 7.Squid : Not for eat. 8.Boots : Hey! you want to eat this!? _____________________________________________________________________ After those fun event, go to the meeting room and talk to Shu. Shu will asks the Hero to rest first. Meanwhile, in Highland camp, Leon will reveal his strategy; surround the castle. The next morning, in the meeting room, Shu informs you that Ridley has been sent to check the enemy situation. A soldier appears and tell Shu that Ridley's troops has been surrounded by the enemy. Help him. ---Strategy Battle (8)----------------------------------------------- Winning condition: ??? Turn 2- Alliance troops appears Ridley defeated- Alliance retreats Well, do your best. If you lucky, Ridley will be saved, but Ridley will be defeated more likely than saved. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in the meeting room, Luc appears and he say he will take care Sasarai. Outside the Hero's room, Tsai asks you to bring him back to his house. (Tomo recruited) 80/108 Ryube Forest. Tsai's house. Tsai must be in party. After Tsai asks to bring him back to his house. Castle must be level 3. In the Highland Camp, Luca asks Ridley to surrender, he doesnt. Luca send him away and wait for the execution. Leon tell Luca his next battle strategy. The next morning, in the meeting room, Shu will explains the next battle plan. Choose 2 to begin. ---Strategy Battle (9)----------------------------------------------- Winning Condition: Luca defeated. Turn 5- Alliance reinforcements appear. Turn 6- Enemy reinforcements appear. Turn 7- Luc appears. Sasarai and Luc retreats. Luca damaged- Luca teleports, all alliance troops damaged. Alliance troops retreat. Just try to injure Luca once with all your strength. Once he is injured, he will teleport and use his power to damage all your troops. Your troops will retreat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Back at your castle, go to the stone tablet room and meet Ridley. He was saved by Mondo and Sasuke. Ridley also has message for Shu, it is from Leon Silverburg. He tell Shu that Luca will do a night attack. Shu asks you to make three parties to attack Luca personaly. Flik will lead the first group, Viktor the second one, and the Hero will lead the final group. _____________________________________________________________________ JAA's note: This is it. Be serious. He is very strong, believe me! You have to defeat him in 3 battles. In the 1st and 2nd battle, you dont have to win, but in the 3rd battle (lead by Hero), you have to win. So, the 1st and 2nd battle is for reducing his HP as much as possible. The three parties is your choice, but be sure to level up your characters to enough level and upgrade their weapon level to at least level 9. I think this is the best parties: *1st party: (lead by Flik) Fr- Flik Miklotov Camus Ba- Nina Tengaar Rina *2nd party: (lead by Viktor) Fr- Viktor Anita Mondo Ba- Eilie Sasuke Kasumi *3rd party: (lead by Hero) Fr- Oulan Humphrey Gadget Ba- Hero Clive Nanami But remember, attach their rune first. You must have at least one character/party as a main healer (area healer). You can change the party positions or members if you want to input several combos or rune combination. You may want to equip some fire-defense equipments, as most of Luca's attack is fire-element attack (Fire Sealing rune works best). _____________________________________________________________________ BOSS: Luca and 5 White Wolves ----------------------------- HP: 6500, 15000 bits HP: Less than 300 Luca have a really, really high defense, even against magic. And he have a really, really high attack power. Even more, he attack more than 2 times a round (commonly 3 times a round). He have some nasty attacks. One is a triple slash that hit you for around 50 damage per hit (around 150 damage). Another is a fire-element slash attack for all your front row characters (around 200 damage). Another is a thrust attack that damage a column (around 100 damage). And the last one is an attack that damage the front character (around 100 damage). Remember, he attack THREE times a round. And most of his attack damage the frontline greatly. Use your best attack and combo. Cast Clay Guardian to your frontline if you have them. After some damage, Luca will run to the 2nd party. After some more damage, Luca will run to the final party lead by the Hero. In this round, use all your power and have the Hero do the healing job. Well, if you equip Nanami with a Balance rune, she cant be unbalanced, so you can use Family Atk. To do more damage, cast Battle Oath (Bright Shield rune) to heal your party plus cast berserk on some characters. If Hero and Nanami is in berserk status and do Family Atk, they will do huge damage to Luca. In Hero's party (if you follow my strategy), the frontline have high defense (Oulan, Humphrey, Gadget) so I think you will not have any trouble as long as you keep your HP high. After you finally beat him, he will run away. After him (heal first). Some Highland soldiers will attack. Luca then check the wooden amulet with a fireflies inside it. The archers will hit him. After some conversation, he will face you on a duel. DUEL: Luca ---------- This is pretty easy. Luca is strong. But since his HP is really critical, you shouldn't have much trouble beating him. You must win, well, if you lose, you have to face Luca once more (*_*) After he died, Jowy and Leon is having a conversation. Jowy's plan is going well, too well.
