hardly an accomplishment.
Clive quest needs you to basically get to Highland in under 20 hours anyway.

But i'm one of those players that wants to get everything in the game hehe and end up playing for like 80 hours.
Strategy is the key to victory!

Wow that's scary. I guess I'd try to beat the game by using only the squirrels. Haven't done it yet.

Ways to make Suikoden II more challenging

Post by Black Knight Yuber »

1. Keep the characters with their default armor.
2. Fight Beast Rune alone or with just 2 Krakens.
3. Don't save by a journeyman's crystal before fighting a boss.
4. Use characters once per boss with exception to some characters like Viktor fights Master Sword, Luca Blight, Neclord.
5. Use characters with a theme such as knights, ninja's, people with bandana's, etc.

Beat Luca Blight using no items and only defending with a chance for a counter attack you should beat him in about hmmm....

Stick a Wall Rune on Humphrey, Riou and some other person with high TECH and DEF in the front row (Valeria or maybe Sheena).

Use only the Hero and MukuMuku.
MukuMuku can only Rune scrolls.
Riou can only use Crab Cake food items.

Later on in the game, use magicians like Luc,Viki etc. but you can't use their magic or sharpen their weapons. Don't give yourselves stones, armor and maybe use only medicines....Plus don't use Blinking mirror. ANd you can't use escape talismans to get out from a dungeon.

I'm fully aware of how useful Nanami can be, especially when she forces herself into your party for certain missions, so I say, for an added challenge (and if you want to be a bit on the mean side, hehe) make sure Nanami gets KO'd in every battle, so that you fight with only a group of 5 instead of 6. Just stick the Fire Lizard Rune on her weapon, make sure you don't sharpen her weapon or update her armor, and there you go. And by the way... for an added bonus, whenever she asks if you're mad that she's there, tell her yes.

Well, i didnt trayy any of taht suggestions, but i know this.
When i was at "top shape" (can you be i "shape" to play Suikoden?) :lol: i managed to beat Beast Rune with:
Milie, Gengen, Tuta, Gabocha and who..was it Karen?
So, it was surrelly the HARDEST battle i ever played. I left my soul in tehre to win it. Also, i used Riou "only" to heal aprty, not to atack.
