Obel Ruins Annoyance
Is it just me or is that place insanely annoying. A while ago it took me like 3hrs or so to get to the 5th/6th floor and then someone died. So there goes hrs of my life for nothing because i had to reset the game. Now, i tried it again tonight thinking ill be ok this time. Nope, another 3-4hrs gone because of 1 stupid attack. My normal members never EVER withdraw, they always die. And I personally don't like the immortal members all too much because i have other people lvled up. -_- does anyone else have this problem?

lol yep
I hate that about suikoden tactics, many many times ive wasted days leveling up and trying to get ancient recipe's and on 1 occasion I actually got the ancient recipee in a random spot on the 4th or 5th level{cant remember which} and then my BEST character jeremy DIES! from 1 attack...
it was then that I decided to stop playing the game for a while...then I eventually came back to it to resume the main story, still havent beaten it though

Well I'm really pumped about Suikoden V so I wanted to play this and beat it before it comes out. It's just so frustrating c_c. The last time i played the game was back in December, i quit because of the Ruins Annoyance. So i figured id give it another try but I'm STILL getting my ass handed to me lol. So I doubt I'll play it again for another 3 months lol.

if you're just there for leveling then so be it.
But if you're there for treasure, you should have used story-line characters (listed elsewhere in this forum) who are immune to death.
If you want to blow through the ruins, you should use Lazlo and a strong party of mages and archers. Regular fighters are almost useless here since most of the enemies will hit you as hard if not harder. Fighters with special weapon runes like Kyril and Kika on the other hand can deliver a one-hit kill.
If you have problems with Golems, you can read my strategy in the Obel Ruins sticky thread. Lazlo or a strong lightning mage with Extra Move will do the trick.

Are you saying it's required to get this "ancient recipe" (don't know what that is by the way) to finish the game? I'm currently at about 14hours and I was under the impression that I was about 1/2th throughout the game (thought it was around 25-30 hours).Rhin wrote:Well I'm really pumped about Suikoden V so I wanted to play this and beat it before it comes out.

What level is recommended for the lower levels of the Obel ruins?

Ancient Recipe is one of Laracle's quests. Those quests are optional. You can finish the game without doing them. Therefore, ancient recipe is NOT required to finish the game.
I don't know why people are giving up on the game cause of the Obel Ruins. You can finish the game without entering it. The enemies in the Obel Ruins will more or less match Kyril's current level in the game. So it is good to have some people above Kyril's level in the game if you want to play the Obel Ruins.
Also, the story battles are MUCH easier than the battles in the Obel Ruins.
Basically, if you're past Fort El-Eal you're just about half way through the game.

Tell me. You are aware that they made the Start -> Retry command avaliable for this sort of thing?
Resets current dungeon level to how it was pre-battle?
I've done it at least a dozen times for treasure hunting related deaths and finding out where the treasure is? You DIDN'T have to reset your game or waste the work of those previous floors?

what...havent played obel ruins in a while so I guess I forgot
then there must be some other reason why I never retry in obel ruins *thinks*
I know! the reason is because the battles take FOREVER to finish and I dont like leving my system on all night when I dont feel like playing anymore so I just shut it off in frustration
thats gotta be the reason....

yeah that's a major tip for anyone playing this game. i learned about it pretty late as well. my first couple times at obel sucked and i restarted the game if something horrible happened..
with the restart ability, you can be pretty reckless trying to get through the first 4 stages quickly, hoping for good results. if something bad happens i just restart and plot a little, but i don't bother to set up too much for those stages.
