So you guys also did the same? This game seems very hard to me compared to other games on the series :( It seems as if I didn't upgrade to the latest equipment every single time, I simply have no chance fighting against normal encounters

That's why I always ended up grinding for a long time to the point I can let go of the enemy :?

The hardest point of the game are some bosses and the first time you leave Gregminster. After that, I don't feel that challenged. But yeah, it's one of the harder games of the series.

I've always thought that the Zombie Dragon was the toughest battle. After that I found the game gradually become easier. By the end of the game, I don't find there's much challenge to it. Obviously it depends on what level you are, but by the end of the game, most regular characters are around 55-60 and if not, it is only a few fights until they're around the same level.

Zombie Dragon, however, tough cookie.

Oh yes, the Zombie Dragon is maybe the toughest battle in Suikoden history. I remember that most of the time I end up with maybe 1-2 characters barely alive at the end of the battle.

I agree, S1 is harder on some arcs making I have to grind first. S2 and S3 lol, early games you already have party members with decent unites or attacks/runes plus you have more than 1 rune slots that make you WTF...

The wheel in the Lepant mansion indeed is annoying. The robots aren't too tough to deal with though. I did find some of the mobs in Crystal Valley to pack a punch and getting Mace wasn't entirely the easiest of tasks either.

Same here with me. Always grind until my party can let go of the enemy and all my party have the best eq available and their weapon sharpened to the most high available. Thats why I only finished each game 2 or max 5 times.

I never really grinded at all In Suikoden except to recruit Elkei. To this day I'll boot up my old save and try fighting the Golden Hydra with different combonation's of characters and all I have to do is go through the palace and keep the week guys in the back. By the time Im at the Emperor there at about Level 50-60

If you don't wish to fight random enemies,try to make money from Chinchichorin (Gaspar's game) and bribe every random enemy.

Yes,it's very difficult because your party is limited,and you don't have any runes available,except that fire rune that Leknaat gave you in the beggining of the game.


Funny thing is that the final boss is very much easier,besides being the "final" one.

He is not that difficult...i remember except the main party,i have used Hellion and Flik,the first time i played it,and i have equipped a flowing rune to Cleo,to do her healing job.

Just keep in mind to use only Viktor in the first turn,in order to strike him with the S.D. sword,to be vulnarable,and then use your best magic moves (offensive and defensive)

Like some of you, I always upgrade my armor and weapons to their max as soon as I'm able to before continuing the story. Not because of the game's difficulty, but because I'm a little OCD about details like armor and weapons. I can't go on with inferior equipment.

As for the hardest boss, I always had the most touble with Sonya. The enemies in Shasarazade were strong and you had to fight her right after fighting another boss.

Its not that I can't defeat Neclord, after playing this game as many times as I have, its no where near as difficult. Its just that he above most other boss's in the game was one I had to actually watch myself against, cuz he could and would kill me

The difficulty spike in this game is incredibly steep at some points.

For example, the enemies around the Gregminster area are a cakewalk compared to the enemies around Kaku and Seika when you first get there.

Also, the enemies in the Castle on Toran Lake are even more difficult. Then there's the trick enemies in Lepant's mansion.

I am a little OCD with grinding sometimes, so I have been making sure to get the best equipment for all my party members before moving on in the game.
