Experienced Suikoden Player Facepalm

[zqrahll]

I didn't know that thing about the Hidden Rune Village water until reading this today. The main thing I missed earlier though was I didn't figure out how to trigger the child knight side quest in Hugo chapter 1 until my second time through.

I had Georg in my party when I liberated Greenhill from Yuber, looking forward to unleashing him against the Bone dragon boss. I had a lightning rune embedded in Georg's sword. The bone dragon boss is immune to lightning.
Insert facepalm/jerk-off gesture here.

First time I fought that boss I brought Sierra with me and had the same problem.

This was not my first time.

First time I had Flik in my party. Go me!

That will teach you to use Sierra, with Rina and a Rage Rune I wiped out this pile of bones in a couple rounds

I just had a facepalm as I finished SII and had the last image after the credits being Jowy waiting for me at the cross-marked stone... Oh so that's why I had a feeling I forgot something!

I had another S2 facepalm this week - why the f#ck did i save Nanami?? I already told her I don't want to go back to Kyaro, I wanna stay at the castle and rule the country with Viktor and Flik as my bitches.

He's weak against wind magic

So glad I am not the only one who has geared up on the lightning magic for this...

I prefer to see things this way: I will rule the United Soviet Socialist Republics of Highland, Dunan, and Toran from its capital Kyaro where, as President of the Praesidium of the Supreme Soviet, I will leave a cosy life in the former residence of Jilia Blight while Nanami (who is the only person I trust anymore because I have become a paranoid tyran at that stage) will be the real ruler of the land while I'm being Rina's bitch.

This isn't really a facepalm, but I just started a new game of Suikoden 5 today, and in the scene where Miakis twists Euram's arm and says "that's more than enough of THAT" I thought the text box said "That's more than enough you TWAT" I was obviously thinking of something else at the time. Maybe we should start another thread of dialogue we've got mistaken?

In Suikoden I, where Runes do not have explanations on what they do, and with little experience on RPG concepts, I kept casting Deadly Fingertips on the Zombie dragon, thinking it would do some sort of damage.
I still beat him, but it made the fight unnecessarily more difficult. A boss which is considered to be one of the toughest in the entire series.

Ha! Fool.

Couldn't get past the painting puzzle in Neclord's castle in Suikoden I, due to lack of understanding the English language at the time. I was about 13 years old, or something.

Yeah, Suikoden 1 was the only game I played with a dictionary at hand. It was like: Playing - getting frustrated - reading dictionary - facepalm.
Back then I didn't know it was possible to beat Teo with Pahn, so if Pahn didn't appear in the character list after losing the duel I reloaded until he did. Basically I was waiting for the glitch to trigger, and I still don't know what made it trigger.

In Suikoden 2 I remember the first time at the mercenary fort, where you had to do these stupid tasks, was full of facepalms (forgot a box, a blot, or the rope etc.).
