No, you just cannot recruit Euram if you recruited Eresh. You can still get Isabel and Mathias if you got Eresh. Sorry for the confusion.

Can't recruit Nikea

Post by Shigure »

I have NO idea why but I can't/haven't been able to recruit Nikea.

I've been trying since the Lelcar war battle and have visited just about every inn in the game so far. PLUS I've visited EVERY building in Estrise after recruit each new characters. (So I've spent FOREVER in Estrise)

This is my second playthrough, so I'm playing new game+. The first play through I recruited all 108 characters. I chose the stay in Falena ending.

But no Nikea.. I've recruited all the other characters so far...

I even went with just Lyon and the Hero. And I've gone with just Lyon, the Hero, and Kyle... and I've gone with a full party, a party missing one slot..

Heh, I'm at my wits end. Anyone have ANY tips? I've search all over the internet and found nothing beside "Duel in Eltrise after Lelcar"

Oh and right now, I just finished recruiting Yahr and Nelis. So I've been checking VERY frequently and even tried forwarding a couple events like the other characters.

ALSO, Oboro doesn't have her up as an investigation choice either, so that routes out.. (Don't ask me why, he just doesn't)

Please help.
Guh, I posted all that?

Nikea? Wow, I didn't realize she was difficult to recruit. She should be in the inn at Estrise (where you first find Linfa). If she's not there right now, then wait a little longer and come back.

To be honest. I didn't expect it either. I knew about Oboro and all them and you've got to be REALLY careful with quite a handful... but Nikea is like pulling teeth this time around...

I thought if anywhere had ANY tips it was here, at Suikosource.

Well, I'll keep going. I'll be back with my final verdict when I finish this playthrough.

Nikea? Ah you don't have to choose correct answers. Just visit the Tavern in Estrise and talk to her. Then beat the crap out of her in a duel outside the tavern and she's yours :)

just my 2 potch

you can opt to lose as well, the requirement is the duel itself.

Maybe you were trying to recruit her at the wrong times? Usually the game doesn't allow for recruitment during certain stages of the game.

Oh yeah, and Gavaya can also be recruited with the Kiss Goodbye girls Sialeeds, Nelis and Jeane. I imagine he can also be recruited with Sharmista after Sialeeds leaves.

My disc's wonky now, but when I get the chance I will try the earliest combination possible (Viki, Sialeeds, Faylen).


Ugh... oh shoot, I deleted my earlier save to make way for Kingdom Hearts. Won't be able to do this till the next playthrough sorry. :(

Latest point for Mohsen to recruit is the Harbor Town of Hershville. If you still don't have him after retaking Stormfist, he will be gone. Ah yes, if you want him to join you after the battle of Lelcar, then make sure you choose the correct answers. When you talk to Mohsen, choose the first answer and then the second one.

Im having trouble finding Mueller, wilhelm, meroon, and Moroon.

Mueller and Wilhelm im in dorat after winning only lost 400 soldiers in battle, have feylon, viki and Norma in my party but they vanished from the bar. Do you need Lyon in your party as well.

Also is there some trick for the last two beavers?
