Is Neclord's invinciblity derived from a rune?
Topic says it all
The game states that it is but I've heard lots of respected people in terms of knowledge state otherwise

I'd say "yes and no". I think the Rune played a factor, but some of it was probably just Neclord's own skill; his abilities were probably being amplified by the Rune. Any vampire with the Blue Moon Rune probably has the capacity for those mad dodging skills, but I don't think that it just automatically GIVES them those skills.

i'm surprised no one has said this but he's only invicible to normal weapons. Remember you have to attack him first with the star dragon sword so that it nullifies the rune and so that it becomes possisble to attack and injure neclord. So he is invincible until he gets hit by the star dragon sword.

thta's because the SDS isnt a weapon. its an incarnation of the Night Rune, a true rune. so, normal weapons and magic dont affect him. True Runes do.

Hmm, I think the Blue Moon Rune may have had a part to play in his near-invincible status. In the first game, he's invincible until Viktor attacks, while in the second, he's not, IIRC, after Sierra took the Rune back. Neclord was obviously powerful considering he managed to steal the Rune in the first place, and the Rune seemed to have definitly amplified it, but not to the point where he couldn't be beaten.

Going back to Neclord having alot of skill remember he has been around for 1000's of years so yeah he's gonna kow a trick or two but it's true that he is only affected when atacked by SDS (reincarnation of Night Rune) because it affects his own rune thiswas stated by Kahn Marley in Suikoden II.

Have we seen any other vampires in the series? I've played Suikoden 1, 2, and 3. I believe there are some encounters with vampires in Suikogaiden; how do they compare to Sierra and Neclord, without any Rune?

the rune was placed in the middle of the Blue Moon Village, so it probably wasn't difficult to steal.Iris wrote:Neclord was obviously powerful considering he managed to steal the Rune in the first place, and the Rune seemed to have definitly amplified it, but not to the point where he couldn't be beaten.

Then Sierra never bore the actual Moon Rune on her body? Not even after she reclaimed it from Neclord? I thought the rune not being usable in Suikoden II was simply gameplay limitation.

Re: Is Neclord's invinciblity derived from a rune?
well we don't know for sure if Sierra never ever bore the rune
but yeah the setup in the village was that the rune was placed somewhere public
i believe that it always followed that the vampires in the village feeds from the rune's power
couldn't exactly imagine it if the rune was on Sierra
at least in a wholesome way ^_^

My understanding was Sierra bore the rune until she could master it and turn it from the blood lust to the compassion side.

Re: Is Neclord's invinciblity derived from a rune?
Didn't Sierra escape to the forests because she bore the rune and can't control it??
........If yes.....then did she remove the rune from her to place it at the center of BLV??? How?
