Solo Prince challenge

Post by gildedtalon »

I'm trying to use only Prince to finish the game, therefore I won't recruit any characters at all. Of course, during the Queen's campaign I will have to use other characters like Kyle and Roy. Same with the final dungeon, I will probably only level up Lyon and Zweig. Let's see if I can get through all this. It's possible, I think :mrgreen:

If for some reason I have full entourage, I'll just have to make those other persons die

Pretty sure it's close to impossible, without cheats.

Why? So far so good, I've reached Rainwall. I have to say the Prince is really good at evading attacks

Sometimes, I have Sialeeds join the battle(full entourage) but I always keep her dead if I want to win the battle or simply retreat. Everyone else has no experience lol :D

Dolph and Childerich are pretty easy also, equip lightning rune and 2 Berserk Blow scroll 3x along with mega medicine 3x and sacrificial jizo. Yeah, that means I used 9 berserk blow on that battle since you can use Berserk Blow 3x from Lightning

it's been tried, but most people gave up at the Dawn Temple ruins boss fight (2 tough enemies together that dish out a fair amt of damage each). you're doing this from a fresh game, not New Game+ right? New Game+ would make it way easier, obviously.

Yep, a new save file from a fresh new game. You mean the ruins at Ceras Lake, huh?

Okay, that was pretty easy actually. They can only deal 20 damage at most, all their attacks are magic-based so I just boost my magic defense lol. In fact, most of the time their attack only deal 3 damage haha

I equipped him with Water and Lightning Rune, Prince was lvl 35

Start the battle with Furious Blow to the boss on the right, then cast berserk blow till you run out of it. After that, just normal attack till he falls. Once he falls, cast Soaring Bolt 2 times on the remaining one then normal attack till you beat him

Just equip the hero with all the equipment that boosts magic defense, I only used 2 Kindness Drops throughout the battle and that's only because they keep stunning me

On war battles up to Lelcar, I have only used the predetermined units. I have not used additional units/lieutenant/support

The battle on Lelcar is really fun actually, you're basically playing cat and mouse game with their cavalry unit. Our goal is to get Prince/Kyle safely to the bridge where Zahhak starts at while Volga buys us some time by distracting the cavalry. This proves just how easy the war battles are

I'll be looking forward to those battles where we must defend Lordlake/Lelcar for 10 minutes.
Let's see if I can win every war battle with this sort of handicap :D

And also the walkthrough saying you only have to severely damage Zahhak's unit to win the battle on Lelcar is a lie

I have won the war battle of Queen's campaign with those 100 soldiers, Roy got trashed by Alenia though. Will have to waste a lot of time gathering money to buy equipments for Kyle and Roy. I finally win against Alenia, had to abuse true men tactic and a few sacrificial buddha

I made it, I've defended Lelcar succesfully haha. Straight of the bat, aim for Bahram while prince rushes towards the shore near Bahram. Meanwhile, Wasil distracts one of the cavalry and kills it. The only way to win this battle is reduce half of Bahram's HP :mrgreen:

Defending the castle is much easier since Childerich's ComShip is weak to Dahak

And that's it, the war battles on Stormfist and Sol-Falena is a joke. I've won all the war battles using only predetermined units (no additional unit/lieutenant/support) :wink:

No, I can only try the PS2 Suikoden games since all my PS1 broke :oops:

And I really don't think it's possible to win those games solo. Facing the final boss on Suikoden III is simply too much, I don't think I'll ever manage to solo those runes :? About Suikoden IV, I think I vaguely remember some bosses where I simply can not win alone

That's why I'm leaning towards Suikoden Tactics, if only there's some kind of challenge I can try

Mh I think Suikoden IV had some fairly difficult bosses. I think the endboss is quite heavy (for a Suikoden game).

Only use Kyril+Support Characters? That would be funny, at least.

If you have your PS1 discs, you should be able to play them on PS2.

Weaken them with opposing elements and equip Kyril with a Poison Rune, so he poisons the enemies on attack so they only die because of the poison?

Ok, I admit, it might be impossible.
