Version numbers:
1.0 The finished un-updated version, the first one to 
appear on the Internet.

1.2 I noticed I missed a lot of things, such as locations    
for mini games and such. And I added the suggestion 
box letters to this Castle FAQ.

1.3 More suggestion box letters and another location 
correction.  

1.4 A few more basic corrections and details on how to get 
a couple super secret characters. More SB letters, as 
always. 

1.5 A normal update. Iāve been getting some good e mails 
from people, so Iāve been able to add a bunch of new 
things.  

1.6 Got some old books up and a couple new letters. Not a 
lot, though. 

1.7 Blah! 

-_-_-_-_-_-_-FORWORD-_-_-_-_-_-_-
In Suikoden, you had a castle in the middle of a lake. It 
was comfy and it got the job done. In Suikoden 2, you rule 
over an entire town!! This town is home to more then just 
shops, an Inn, and a couple mini-games, as in Suikoden. 
Rather, it houses about six different mini-games and many, 
many shops, rooms, and people to talk to. This FAQ will 
hopefully make your Suikoden 2 home a little bit less 
confusing. 

-_-_-_-_-_-_-Your Castle-_-_-_-_-_-_-
-Levels-
Your town grows every time you recruit someone, but there 
are certain points in the game where it grows a lot in a 
quick spurt.

~Level 1~
This is, of course, what it starts on. It stays like this 
till you have 

1. Recruited 30 people
2. Join forces with Two River City

~Level 2~
Once itās level 2, it stays level 2 until you  
 
1. Recruit 61 people
2. Recruit Klaus and Kiba

~Level 3~
The castle starts getting very big and confusing at this 
point, with the huge amount of rooms and tunnels that, in 
fact, all join together. If youāre not careful you could 
find yourself lost in your own castle! But, it gets even 
bigger as soon as you

1. Recruit 102 people
3. This level is the final level, and last until you beat 
Suikoden 2            

-Shops-
Of course, certain people you recruit run shops in the town 
and castle. With all 108 characters, youāll have everything 
from an Inn to a Trade Center.

~Item Shop~
Owner: Alex
Alex runs the Item shop in town, and stocks whatever item 
shop youāve visited before stocked. For example, if you 
went to a town and went to an item shop that sold Mega 
Medicine, Mega Medicine will be added to Alexās inventory. 
Outstandingly useful, if you ask me. 

~Armor Shop~
Owner: Hans
Hans, of course, sells Armor. Like Alex, he stocks whatever 
armor shops youāve visited so far.

~Rune Master~
Owner: Jeane
Once Jeane is recruited, youāll have your own Rune Master 
to engrave, remove, or sell Runes. She sells, you guessed 
it, whatever the Rune Masterās shopās sold that youāve 
visited before!

~Magic Scrolls~
Owner: Raura
This special shop is opened after you get Raura to join 
you. She specializes in Magic Scrolls (i.e. Flame Wall). 
This is the only shop of its sort in the game giving it 
special qualities. Not only does she sell Magic Scrolls, 
but also if you bring a Rune to her, sheāll actually change 
it into a Scroll!  


~Trade Center~
Owner: Gordon 
Gordon opens a Trade center, which can make you quite rich. 
You have to know what to trade at what center, of course, 
to get the best results. The following chart should clear 
this up a little. As you can see by looking at it, some 
items are real good investments, while other arenāt as 
good. 

Item to Trade   Best Place to Buy       Best Place to Sell

-Helpful Areas-
Aside from shops, your town includes other helpful areas of 
interest, such as an Inn.

~Blacksmith~
Owner: Tessai
This is pretty basic, but sharpening your weapons is pretty 
darn important. This just go to show you that you shouldnāt 
forget the basics!

~Inn~
Owner: Hilda
Alexās wife, Hilda reopens her old Inn in your 
headquarters! It is, of course, useful to be able to rest 
and save before a major battle or something of that nature 
without having to go to the nearest town and back.

~Appraiser~
Owner: Lebrante
This is the only Īhelpful areaā Iām not exactly satisfied 
with. At 400p per appraisal, itās actually better to go to 
a town and get it done there.

~Telescope~
An interesting addition, indeed. On top of the castleās 
watchtower, youāll find a telescope thatās used for 
sightseeing. Itās useless, actually, but still pretty 
neat-o.

~Library~
Owner: Emilia
Whenever you get Emilia to join you, youāll get a library. 
Once you do, go get all your ĪOld Booksā from the storeroom 
and give them to her. Sheāll put them on the shelf and you 
can read them, intern, getting some sort of history lesson 
about the game or other information. Itās actually quite 
interesting. However, the old books found throughout the game are 
interesting at the most, they contain information about a number of things you 
wouldnāt normally find out during the game. There are 8 books in all, but these 
are all Iāve found. If youāve gotten all the books, Iām open to contributions. If you 
DO send me one of the books (that is, what the book says), Iāll be sure to put it 
up. Thank ya.

Seeker of Sindar
(Personal note about the book: The Sindar are a very strange addition to 
Suikoden 2. About three of your recruits are people looking for the Sindar 
treasure, and it makes me wonder if theyāll be mentioned anymore throughout the 
Suikodens.)
 
Page 1: I spent my life chasing the secrets of the Sindar, but here in these ruins,    
Page 2: Iāve reached the end of my strength. And so I write some of what Iāve 
learned. 
Page 3: The Sindar are a phantom race. They have become known throughout 
history and yet their true nature is a mystery. 
Page 4: They came from the north and traveled south, leaving mysterious ruins 
behind them.
Page 5: Legends say the clan leader had a cursed rune inscribed in him 
forehead.
Page 6: It granted eternal life but doomed the clan to a life of wondering.
Page 7: They say a secret treasure lies in the heart of the ruins,
Page 8: but there are many traps, and most seekers only find death, like 
myself·

Rare Find List 
(Personal note about the book: One of the more useful books of the game. It 
contains a list of Rare Finds for a lot of the town throughout the game. However, 
once you buy the Rare Finds, this book wonāt do you much good.)

Page 1: Ryube: Leather Coat, Brass Armor. Toto: Feather Hat.
Page 2: Kyaro: Winged Boots. Muse: Sun Badge, Guard Robe, Circuret, Water 
Crystal, Fury Crystal.    
Page 3: Coronet: Tunic, Karate Uniform. Kuskus: Sacrificial Jizo. 
Page 4: South Window: Half Plate, Kite Shield, Water Crystal. Radat: Speed Ring, Sound 
Set #5, Magic Robe.
Page 5: Lakewest: Headgear, Earth Crystal. Two River: Guard Ring, Silver Hat, 
Wizard Crystal.
Page 6: Kobold Village: Gold Emblem, Heavy Necklace. Greenhill: Draining 
Crystal. Forest Village: Scale Mail.
Page 7: Rockaxe: Silverlet, Brass Armor, Thunder God Garb. Highway Village: 
Rabbit Plans #2, Thunder Armlet. 
Page 8: Banner Village: Rose Brooch, Rabbit Plans #3, Full Plate. Gregminster: 
Winged Boots, Mangosh, Mother Earth Crystal, Flowing Crystal.
Page 9: Tinto Town: Skill Ring, Wind Hat, Tunic, Kaikyoku Wear. Crom: Magic 
Ring.

Character List
(Personal note about the book: This doesnāt actually list every recruit in the 
game, but actually just a few. And it doesnāt tell you how to recruit them, it just 
tells you about them and where they can be located.)

Page 1: Clive: From the Howling Voice Guild is chasing a ćwoman.ä Be careful of 
his gun.
Page 2: Oulan: Trying to rid Kuskus of a thief who preys on all female parties. 
Page 3: Zamza: Seen in South Window. A master a magic and fists, he can also 
be seen in Toto.
Page 4: Killy: Hunts for the secrets of the Sindar. Seems to be exploring in South 
Window.  
Page 5: Hoi: A thief who goes in and out of Radat.
Page 6: Simone Vedricci: Staying in Radat while he studies away from home.
Page 7: Pesmerga: Black Knight seens in Toran as well as the Cave of the 
Winds.
Page 8: Jeane: Rune master from Toran. Opened a shop in Two River.  
Page 9: Meg, Gadget: Apprentice to a machination. Seen traveling from Greenhill 
to Muse. 
Page 10: Genshu: Seen at the inn in Coronet. Travels the world to improve his 
swordsmanship.        

The Gate Rune War
(personal note about the book: If you, for some reason, didnāt play the first 
Suikoden, this will possibly shed some light on the Toran Republic. If you DID 
play the first game, you will have lived the book, and then some. So, aside from 
getting to read about yourself, the book is rather useless.)

Page 1: The war in which the Toran Republic defeated the Scarlet Moon Empire 
is known as the ćGate Rune Warä or the ćLiberation War.ä
Page 2: The first leader of the victorious Liberation Army was a woman named 
Odessa Silverburg. 
Page 3: She was originally emperial nobility, but her lover was killed by the 
Empire and
Page 4: so she joined the Resistance and formed the Liberation Army. 
Page 5: The original members were Flik, Humphery and Sanchez, but according 
to another member, Viktor, 
Page 6: the later victorys were due to the intervention of McDohl, the son of the 
6th emperial general.  
Page 7: During the war, Odessa was killed and McDohl took over leadership over 
the Liberation Army. 
Page 8: McDohl followed the advice of General Mathiu and set up Hora Castle as 
the new Liberation Army base.
Page 9: After many battles, they succeeded in over throwing emperor Barbossa.
Page 10: However after helping form a new nation McDohl journeyed off 
somewhere without seeing the fruits of his long labors.  

The Grasslands
(personal note on the book: Iāve heard rumors that the Grasslands are where the 
next game may take place. If that turns out to be true, then this will be 
enlightened a little bit. This book is very short, one of the shortest books you find, 
and it doesnāt give much info on the actual Grasslands. It just tells you its location 
(north of Tinto), and who live there, etc. Anyway, this really makes me want 
Suikoden 3 to hurry up to see if this is where it takes place· Itās ever so 
mysterious·  

Page 1: The Grasslands are a grassy plain stretching from the western part of 
Tinto to the north. 
Page 2: Many different peoples live there, and are trying to take control of it. 
Page 3: Tinto plans on more raids in the future, but theyāre hindered by the 
Grasslanders, 
Page 4: particularly the Karaya and Chisya clans, as well as the Free Knights of 
Camaro. 
Page 5: Recently, border attacks by a group of thieves called the ćKeeper of the 
Flameä have increased.   
Page 6: (blank)

~Storeroom~
Owner: Barbara
This is outstandingly useful, and best of all, you get it 
at near the start of the game. This is used for storing 
items that you might not need at the moment, or when you 
have to make some quick room in your inventory. With the 
Storeroom, you wonāt have to drop items nearly as much as 
you WOULD have to.

~Cartographer~
Owner: Templeton
Otherwise known as a mapmaker, Templeton has made a map of 
the whole State area. Not only does he give you one when 
you recruit him, but he also posts one on the wall of your 
castle. This huge map simply list towns, locations, 
buildings, and pictures of every town featured in the game 
(except Greminster, I think).

~The Bar~
Owner: Leona
Now, this may sound a bit useless, but itās actually not. 
Aside from running the bar, Leona also manages your party 
members. Of course, this is anything but useless!

~Fast Transportation~
Owner: Viki
Viki is a pretty messed up girl, but she can get you around 
very fast nonetheless. Once you recruit her, youāll be able 
to teleport to any single city youāve already visited 
(except Greminster). Something you should know, also. The 
more you use Viki to get around, the better chance you have 
of getting accidentally teleported to a secret room in the 
game! Youāll know if Viki says ćHuh?ä instead of ćShazam!ä 
then youāre on your way to the secret room. If you DO get 
to the room, WALK, donāt run, take every treasure you see 
(its really good stuff) and soon someone will run up the 
stairs, find you, and throw you out.

-Other Interesting Things and Places-
Interesting things and places are things like the 
Suggestion Box, or the Bronze Statue you get sometime in 
the game.

~Suggestion Box~
This appears outside the Main Hall. People write things and 
leave them in the box for you to read. Of course, there 
isnāt always something in there, but the more people you 
get, the more letters you get as well. 

This isnāt a necessary section of the game, or the guide, 
but I found a lot of these letters interesting and funny. 
These are, by the way, in alphabetical order, but since I 
donāt have many up yet it just seems like I just typed them 
up. But I didnāt! Alphabetical all the way! If you have any 
letters youād like to submit, go for it! Send them to 
jook@ignmail.com!

ARE YOU GOOD?
From Captain Gengen Jonathan, are you good? Gengen is

pee on it. But I stopped him. 
Tee hee hee.

youād read this. Hee hee hee. See

nice day.

Emilia

LIFE LESSON!

I hope to be someday.

Connell

I've gotten used to your lovely castle, but the more I'm 
here the more I wish I realize I 
belong in Greenhill.

Teresa Wisemail

Lord Hero, forgive me. I mistakenly put a letter to my 
family into this box

Gilbert

~Troop Placement~
This is quite nifty, but not really necessary for beating 
the game. Still, you can tinker around with your units (the 
ones that are used in major battles). The possibilities are 
simply endless! I suggest you experiment with this a bit, 
you may find something you like. When you want to mess with 
your troops, talk to Apple in the Main Hall.

~Boat~
The boat, which rests at the docks, can be used to sail 
anywhere in the lake, but youāll probably just start using 
Viki for your main sort of transportation once you have 
her.

~Window Settings~
Once you have Tenkou, give him the Window Sets that youāve 
found for new window setting options! Useless, but neat-o!!

~Bronze Statue~
When your castle is finally level 4 a statue will appear on 
the fourth floor telling you who has been the most useful 
in the battles of the game to that point.

~Sound Settings~
When youāve recruited Connell, give all your Sound Sets to 
him and youāll be able to change the gameās menu sound 
effects.

~Guardian Deity Statue~
Jude, who you recruit during the game, builds this statue. 
But you also need to collect all the 16 plans scattered 
over the world. You can build a Dragon, a Bunny, a Unicorn 
or a Turtle. Or you can mix them up, which can get· sort of 
interesting. The first time you build a statue, youāll 
receive some sort of gift. Below is a list of what you can 
get. Iāve used abbreviations so it wonāt take as long to 
type (Iām lazy!!!). The abbreviations are as follows:
D = Dragon
R = Rabbit
T = Turtle
U = Unicorn
1 = Plan 1
2 = Plan 2
3 = Plan 3
4 = Plan 4
  
Body    Tail    Legs    Head    Item you receive 
D3      D2      D1      D4      Dragon Incense
U3      U2      D1      D4      Rage Rune

T3      T2      D1      D4      Gold Bar
T3      U2      R1      D4      Wall Rune

U4      T1      T2      T3      Goddess Statue
U4      R1      R2      R3      Fortune Rune

~Ranch~
The ranch is where Yuzu hangs out. Whenever you find a farm 
animal, catch it and sheāll take care of it for you. Of 
course, this really increases the food supply of the 
restaurant in your castle quite a bit.  

~Farm~
Right next to the ranch is this farm. Bring Tony seeds to 
plant and youāll have a garden in no time at all.

~The Band~
When youāve gotten Albert, Pico and Annallee to join, you 
can talk to them and theyāll play you any background music 
you want to hear from the game. Oh, by the way, be sure to 
listen to the neat-o morning music (nicely titled Beautiful 
Morning)!!!

~Richmond~
Richmond can give you nice hints on where to find new 
recruits, and how to get them. He also tells you secrets 
about the people in your army! 

-Mini Games-
~The Old Whack-A-Mole Game~
Location: The Farm
Owner: Tony
Tonyās garden has a lot of moles that need to be beaten, 
and so you can beat them for him! Alright!! There are about 
four difficulty levels, beat the four of them and youāll 
get some Mole armor.

~Fishing~
Location: The Docks
Owner: Yam Koo
Fishing is probably the easiest mini game. Simply keep the 
power gauge in the big bar going up and down; and youāll 
have a fish, or a boot. The list goes on. The best fish is 
Salmon, which can be sold for over 4000p. 

~Dancing~
Location: The room behind the stage
Owner: Karen
This can get kinda tough, for me especially cause my 
reflexes arenāt that great. This game has five levels of 
hardness, and stages four and five are random when it comes 
to the dance! However, levels one two and three have set 
dance steps to follow.

Level 1: 
Triangle       
Square 
Circle

Level 2:

Level 4:
Random, but watch out for the use of the L1 and R1 buttons.

Level 5: 
Same as Level four.

As you can plainly see, it gets much hardy each dance. You 
can win some nice stuff from this, though, so good luck!

~The Climbing Game~
Location: Through the door above the restaurant 
Owner: The owner of this mini game has no name
This is pretty interesting, I must say. There are three 
leagues; they all have their own prizes and prices to play. 
Itās pretty much just a big board game, really. But even 
so, there are some really nice prizes to be won! To make it 
really annoying though, the prizes are chosen at random and 
depend on if you came in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.  

The Expert 10000p League:
3rd                    2nd                 1st

                                          Rose Bouquet 

And thatās about it! Even though this game can be 
frustrating, itās also fun, sometimes. ?  

~Chinchirorin~
Location: Barracks
Owner: Shilo
Once you get Shilo, you can have the pleasure of playing 
this outstandingly annoying and frustrating game any time 
you want!!! YEAH!!!!

~Cooking~
Location: Restraint 
Owner: None
This is probably the most popular mini game in Suikoden 2. 
But it would be a waste of my time to write an ingredients 
list or something, since there are several on the Internet! 
When you recruit Hai Yo, strange chefs will appear and 
challenge him all the time. Be sure to visit the restaurant 
often to see if a new chef is there.

-Anything I Might Have Missed-
This section is always open for people to send me anything 
they want me to put up about the castle that I missed. I 
only have one thing at the moment, and that is this list of 
things to do in your bath. And Iāve only heard of these 
things, Iāve never bothered to do any of them yet. So if 
you want to tell me any more things to do for bath time 
fun, or want to tell me what some of these combos do, feel 
free.

First you have to get all the flying squirrels. Now you 
need all the character that show up on the stone tablet, 
then you have to have access to all towns, finish all the 
cooking contest then when you have done all of the above go 
to where your dock is in your castle. Characara will appear 
near Yam Koo, chase him until his friends appear (Ruladia, 
and the other one) then they are yours to control.

There are several hammers hidden throughout the world. 
Bring these hammers to Tessai and you can automatically 
jump one of your weapons to a very nice level.

Bring Viktor and Flik into the cypress bath.  
     
Bring Viktor and Flik into the jungle bath.
 
With any party, put six Blue Dragon Vases around the bath 
and two Landscape Paintings. 
 
Enter the bath 20 times once your castle reaches level 
four.

Put six Vases and two Flower Paintings Around the bath.

If you put 6 hex dolls and 2 Graffitiās in the bath, The 
Hex dolls' eyes begin to shine, and the Graffitiās eyes 
begin to bleed.

Put six Hex Dolls around the bath.

Put six Chinese Dishes all around the bath.
