Problems recruiting Sairoh

[Sasarai10]

I've started the New Game+,and now i'm at the point after defending Raftfleet,but i haven't recruited Sairoh yet....i've been checking rumors from the begining of the game,but i haven't found the rumor about the salt price yet...i even have 10 salts in my inventory...did i lost him? Because i remember in the previous game i recruited him,it was at the point after meeting Boz Wilde.

No, you haven't lost him. By the time he becomes a missable character, most other characters will also be unavailable for recruitment

The only one you should worry about is Killey, do get him away from the prison. And don't mess up with the dialogue choices. He's so hard to recruit

Step1) Buy 7 salts. Seven. Seven salts. Seven is the magic number. More is good but seven works perfectly
Step2) Talk to Sairoh. He's in Raftfleet. Don't talk to the trader there, don't start any stupid trade rumours. You don't need them to recruit Sairoh. Talk to Sairoh himself, and he might mention salt prices going up. If he doesn't then leave for about half an hour or so and talk to Sairoh again. Repeat this step until he mentions the price of salt going up
Step3) Sell all of the salt to the trader. Don't do anything else but sell the salt
Step4) Talk to Sairoh again

Actually i didn't have any problems recruiting Killey,i have let him go out from the prison,then i met him in HQ...and last,during the mission in the Twilight Ruins,i've just asked him to join and he accepted.

Btw,if you bring Killey with you at Ashtwal Ruins,you'll get an extra dialogue....

Hmm i see....i'll try buying 7 salts...hope it works

i would always get him with 6, whether firstplay or new game+
it was always random..whenever i finish a main/side mission, i stopped by
never really took too long

[KFCrispy]

i think it just depends on how much profit you make from selling them.

[Sasarai10]

Ok it worked this time with the 7 salts.


Although i think the most difficult character to recruit is Oboro. Because if you lose him,you will also lose his company and Nakula & Raven too,because those 2 in order to recruit them,you should have recruited Oboro first.


I lost him this time and i have to wait till Beaver's Lodge event

oboro isn't that difficult
just stick with the investigation all the way through

but the importance of oboro cannot be understated
you need to get him to get 6 SoD (oboro, shigure, fuyo, sagiri, nakula, raven)
i gots to have sagiri
one of my favorite characters..story-wise and battle-wise
i think she's the best long range attacker in the game

Well... not just that.

You have to also be nice and not make any smart ass comments during the investigation (such as not making fun of the mouse). I learned that the hard way.

i went through every possible dialogue arc
as long as i tagged along to the end, i got oboro
...weird

Recruiting Sairoh is a piece of cake. Here is what has to be done in order to recruit him.

- prchase 6 or 7 units of salt at a CHEAP PRICE!!!!
- talk to him from time to time in Raftfleet until he tells you that the prices of salt have gone sky high
- sell the cheap purchased salt to high prices right next to him.
- a dialogue will be triggered and here he is.

piece of cake

just always check rumors in every village you visit and then buy salt even 6+ will do , once the salt price has rumors go immediately at raftfleet then sell all salts then after the scene will trigger

i recruited him just after we leave rainwall , so you can recruit him at later point just check the rumors

[bookwormbabe29]

Ok, I am having a HUGE pain with this. I have been trying to recruit him for the last 8 hours, doing nothing else but trying to get this guy, and I keep coming up empty. I keep talking to Sairoh, and get no where. I save the game, check the trader, and the rumors are stuck on 'sugar is low' for like, 6 hours now. I reset game so as not to have talked to the traders, but I have sat here for hours and haven't made any progress. I have 30 things of salt on me at this point, and I'm getting quite frustrated at this point. I'm supposed to be talking to Raja (right after first war battle, before returning to lordlake) if that matters. I'm open to ideas, as I'm about to look into cheat codes at this point.

Come back later, it can not be helped. You are just wasting your time
