Afterwards, you are given the option of dueling the ships commander,Glen. Duels in Suikoden IV are basically a variation of Paper, Rock, Scissors -using Fight, Defend, Special instead. What your opponent says hints at whathis or her next move will be. Once youve finished the 3 tutorial sequences, youwill gain control of the hero.

youll meet Rachel who will join up if you pay off Cedrics debt (amount varies).After doing so, return to your ship and form a strong party. Make sure you haveat least one Escape Talisman in your inventory then return to Obel and enter theruins.

Note that enemies inside the ruins have become stronger, so make sure yourewell prepared before entering. At this point, your party should be strong enoughto defeat the Angel Hairball in the treasure chest you passed earlier, so go backthere and tackle it now.

TREASURE BOSS >> ANGEL HAIRBALL

Strategy: Like other treasure bosses, physical attacks do less damage thanmagical ones so exploit your runes until the creature tumbles.

Upon defeating the Angel Hairball, youll receive the GOLDEN HAMMER, whichallows Adrienne to sharpen weapons to their highest level. After getting it,navigate through the corridors until you reach the Inner Ruins. The Guard bossyou defeated earlier appears to be blocking the path up ahead but you can avoidconfrontation simply by walking around it.

Move forward to the big tree where you will meet Travis. If you brought an

Escape Talisman, Travis will want you to prove its real. Go ahead and use theTalisman, which transports you to the beginning of the ruins. Return to Travisunder the tree and hell be ready to join you. Complete any other business youhave in Obel then board your ship and sail to Mordo Island.

MORDO ISLAND

Recruit(s): Snowe

If you followed this walkthrough, you should have recruited 107 Stars of Destinyby now. Check the roster on 2F to see if that is true. If so, go to Mordo Island and

speak to the merchant near the spa tent, who mentions having seen a persondrifting in the ocean recently. After getting the information, board your ship andhead west.

While on the open sea, fight a few random battles until a scene takes over. Whengiven a choice, pick the 2nd option (Perhaps we should let him join us) to finallyrecruit Snowe.

ON THE SEA STRONGHOLD / WORLD MAP

Now that you have recruited everyone, its time to tie up any loose ends before

entering the final stage of the game. First, create two well-balanced parties,equip them with the best gear, and sharpen their weapons to the maximum levelyou can afford. Remove any special runes or armor from the remainingcharacters so that youll have these items available in New Game Plus. Next,complete all tasks on board your ship (bath scenes, fishing/cooking, creatingarmor, mini-games, etc.) and then wrap up any outstanding business you have inother parts of the world (treasure hunting, trading, defeating Angel Hairballs,etc.).

In terms of treasure hunting, there are 2 additional islands in the world that arenot marked on your map. One is directly north of Razril and the other is directly

south. If you feel like tackling them, now is the time to do it. Make sure to bringyour primary party members along so that they gain a few more levels whilesearching for the treasures. Skip the next 2 sections if you just want to move onwith the game.

MOUNTAIN MASS ISLAND (OPTIONAL)

Item(s): Silk Shoes, 10000p, Silver Bracers, Mixed Herbs, Diamonds x5,Prosperity Orb

If you sail directly north from Razril, youll eventually reach a cluster of spiky

islands. Dock your ship on the only one with a beach. Rene will appear with herdousing rods as soon as you land, so start searching for buried treasures on thesand. Additionally, there are mountain paths leading to more buried treasure aswell as a few chests.

All of the chests are located on the tips of the mountain paths so follow each oneto their end to acquire SILK SHOES, 10,000p, SILVER BRACERS, and MIXEDHERBS. The 5th chest contains a Golden Hairball, which should be very easy todefeat if youve spent time leveling up.

TREASURE BOSS >> GOLDEN HAIRBALL

Strategy: This guy is a pushover compared to his Angel brethren. A couple ofgood rune hits should kill it.

After defeating the Golden Hairball, youll receive 5 DIAMONDS and aPROPERITY ORB. When finished on the island, board your ship and return toRazril.


35/37

LIMESTONE SHELF ISLAND (OPTIONAL)

Item(s): Treasure Map

If you sail directly south from Razril, youll eventually reach a white island. Dockyour ship and start searching for buried treasures with Rene. There is but onechest on the island and it contains a TREASURE MAP. After finding all of theloot, board your ship.

ON THE SEA STRONGHOLD

Item(s): Wooden Amulet

Go out on deck to trigger a scene involving Ramadas bird then enter the War

Room to hear Elenor brief the group on its final mission. If youd like to hear herexplain it again, pick the 1st option; otherwise tell Elenor youre ready to get onwith the plan. When you regain control, go to your room and rest.

Upon waking, return to the War Room. Speak to Elenor to select a detachmentparty to penetrate El-Eals fort while your main party remains in front to attackKooluks fleet. The 2 parties should consist of the characters you just spent timeleveling up, equipped with the best armor and runes, etc. Put your best healers inas support for both parties (Yu and Rikie, for example). Afterwards, go to yourroom and rest again.

In the morning, return to the War Room and watch a scene that ends out on deckat night. Talk to your shipmates to see various scenes. In particular, speak toNoah in the 2F Saloon to receive a WOODEN AMULET. If you havent done soalready, stock up on health items and Sacrificial Jizos.

After wrapping up all other business you have on board the ship, return to yourroom and rest one last time. The spirit of Leknaat will visit during the night andoffer some insight into your future. Upon walking, go out on deck to trigger ascene. When it ends, you will take control of Elenor and the detachment partyunderneath El-Eal.

EL-EAL

Item(s): Mega-Medicine x2, Heros Helmet, Cape of Darkness, ChaosShield, Goddess Robe, Mixed Herbs x2, Fortune Orb, Stair Room Key,Magic Canceller


36/37

Follow the foggy path until a scene takes over, in which the Kooluk fleet arrives.

NAVAL BATTLE >> FINAL ENGAGEMENT

Strategy: This is your last ship battle so have some fun. The 3 enemy ships youllface wield a variety of rune cannon types so set up your 4 ships for any scenarioyou might run into. Try taking out one of the weaker ships first by moving yourfleet to either the left or right side. Avoid the center ship for as long as you can asit packs a powerful punch. The battle will not be too difficult if you spent sometime leveling up your crewmembers.

Upon victory, youll retake control of Elenor on the foggy path. Follow it up to theforts entrance where you will find a chest containing a MEGA-MEDICINE. Aftergetting the item, enter the fort. On the 1st floor, you will see two sets of stairs.Take the one going down to the basement level first. Follow the corridor past

empty jail cells until you find a chest on the left containing the HEROS HELMET.Check the corpse in the cell at the end of the corridor to receive the CAPE OFDARKNESS then return to the 1st floor and go upstairs. On the 2nd floor, youllfind a locked stairwell door. If you move around to the back, youll reach a chestcontaining another Angel Hairball enemy.

TREASURE BOSS >> ANGEL HAIRBALL

Strategy: At this point, the Angel Hairball should pose little threat. Rune magic isyour best bet for a quick defeat. If your detachment party is having troublebeating it, tackle the boss later when you return with your principle team.

Upon defeating the Angel Hairball, youll receive the CHAOS SHIELD. Now, takethe stairs up to the 3rd floor. Once there, go around back and follow the hallwaysouth to a chest containing the GODDESS ROBE. After equipping the item, goup to the 4th floor.

Again, head south to reach the back hallway. Before entering the Control Room,look to the right for a chest containing MIXED HERBS, MEGA-MEDICINE, and aFORTUNE ORB. Heal up and use the Mixed Herbs to replenish magic if youexhausted your spells while fighting the Angel Hairball earlier. When ready, enterthe control room to meet up with Graham Cray.

BOSS >> GRAHAM CRAY

Strategy: Cray is quick on his feet so party members with low speed ratings mayhave trouble hitting him consistently. His area attacks cause 80-90 damage perperson and his lightning spells cause about 150. When his HP dips low enough,hell start defending himself by erecting a shield that reduces the amount of


37/37

physical and magical damage you inflict. Even so, hes not very difficult to beat.

Once Cray stops the fight, you will take control of the Heros party outside of thefort. Make your way up to the 4F Control Room. Once there, enter the office on

the right and search the desk to acquire the STAIR ROOM KEY. Also, rest on thecouch to replenish the party. Afterwards, return to the 2nd floor and use the keyon the stairwell door to unlock it. Enter.

Open a chest underneath the stairs to receive a MAGIC CANCELLER then startclimbing. The stairs are very, very long and may seem endless, but eventuallyyou will reach another chest containing MIXED HERBS. Keep climbing until youget to the final Save Point in the game. Heal your party and use those MixedHerbs if you need to then enter the door to meet the final boss.

FINAL BOSS >> GIANT TREE / SEED OF LIGHT x 2

Strategy: Use your best area attacks to take out the seeds, as one has the abilityto heal the main tree. They eventually revive but the extra time allows you tofocus on the main boss who is very powerful indeed. Unleash everything youhave while paying close attention to health levels. With patience and good timing,the tree will fall.

After defeating the boss, the fort will start to collapse. Make your way back to thedock where Rakgi is waiting. Before speaking to him, remove any special armoror accessories that your party is wearing. When ready, board the ship.

ON THE SEA THE FINAL VOYAGE

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the ocean Troy appears toengage you in a final duel.

DUEL >> TROY

Strategy: Dueling Troy is more of a formality than a real challenge. His commentsare obvious and one could easily beat him by simply guarding each time.

After defeating Troy, you will have the option of inviting him on board or just

letting him go. Either way, he will leave and the closing scenes begin. Watch allof them, including the end credits. At the very end of the game, you will be askedto save your game. Do so, as a few new things become available to you in NewGame Plus, should you choose to replay Suikoden IV from your cleared datafile.
