Recruiting Zegai

Post by Alisamakora »

ok~ so, i tried to recruit zegai after gaining the dawn rune and all that. according to all guides i should be able to, but he said "no".
which is odd, 'cause i was nice to him and all that. did i screw something up?

You know, there was one time I'm not nice at all and still be able to recruit him. I chose to capture him and not wanting to call off the execution.

At what point in the game are you :?:

just got the dawn rune and the groups still in raftfleet. i heard you could recruit him then. i'll try again after i get my HQ, but i realllly wanna make sure i didnt lose a recruit this early in the game. that'd suck if i kept going and ended up not getting everyone. not to mention i really like zegai for the spearmen option in seiges.

Perhaps you lack recruits? But i guess he shouldn't even turn up then... And you did say the right answer to him, yes?

On the character recruitment at gamefaqs by yangxu
If you have enough SoDs, he will join; otherwise, come back later when you've recruited a large number of companions.

i'm very sure that each time you are friendly to Zegai, you boost your affinity with him, and you can ask him each time you advance the story just like with Oboro and Murad.

The guides say you can recruit him at a certain point because in their playthrough, they talked to Zegai enough times in the beginning of the game to boost the affinity level.

so once you've finally raised the affinity level high enough, he will join. keep returning and asking him after each story event just like you do with Oboro and Murad.

Are the dialogue choices listed anywhere for characters that you're supposed to build "affinity" with?

I'm currently replaying Suikoden 5 right now, and the options I got so far were to either capture zegai or chase the Armes spies. I chose to run after the spies, showing that I didn't think badly of Zegai.

But then after that, Eurum tells you he knew nothing of the Armes plot and asks if you believe him. The options are either "..." or "I believe you". If you choose "..." does that mean you're suspicious of Zegai and it will hurt your relationship with him later on?

thanks for the link, i thought I had seen something like that before but couldn't remember where.

Hmm so telling Euram you believe him only affects Euram and not Zegai.

I'm not quite sure about Murad's "liking" points though... There were times I always asked him to join and he would not join for ages. Does it make any difference if I talk to him while he's in the arena infirmary?

I've tested them all and there were no problems. It's just that I forgot to recruit Alhazred when I was using that guide
