|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*CHARACTERS (THE STARS OF DESTINY) [CHTR]*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| |============================================================================| - 1. Hero (Tenkai Star) Automatically recruited. - 2. Lino En Kuldes (Tengou Star) Automatically recruited. - 3. Elenor (Tenki Star) Automatically recruited. - 4. Ted (Tenkan Star) Once you have around 60 or 70 characters, enter the War Room and there will be a cutscene where a mysterious ship crashes into yours. Lino En Kuldes and the Hero decide to check it out, along with one other person. Choose your strongest character to be the third, as the enemies inside the Fog Ship are quite difficult. --- ~LOCATION: DUNGEON; FOG SHIP~ Items: King Pirate Vest Enemies: Dead Blade, Prophet Characters: Ted (4) Suikoden IV has a trend of unnecessarily long, linear dungeons, doesn't it? Well, this one is the quintissential Suikoden IV dungeon. Just keep heading down the path, being stupped by the mysterious man occasionally (what you say in response to him has no effect) and you'll reach... --- ~BOSS BATTLE: Fog Ship Guide~ HP: 7000 Potch: 8000 Items: Silk, Diamond 7000 HP... wow. This guy takes a long time to kill, but hes not overly difficult. His main attack has a chance to cause instant death to one character, but it rarely succeeds. His other attack drains 150 or so HP from one character, and heals him for that amount. His biggest attack hits every party member for 100-120 damage, but he doesn't use it that often. Healing is not a problem since Ted joins you for this battle, and his Water Rune has many options for healing available. Use your strongets attacks against the Fog Ship Guide, and he'll go down sooner or later. --- After the battle, good ol' Ted (from Suikoden I...) joins you. Be sure to grab the chest with the 'King Pirate Vest' from the room after you defeat the Fog Ship Guide. - 5.

Make your way to where Travis is standing, and he'll demand that you use an Escape Talisman. Do so. Unfortunately, you have to make your way all the way BACK up to Travis through the ruins. Once you do, talk to him again and he joins. Well now, that wasn't so hard, was it? - 17. Snowe (Tenan Star) At two points in the game, you are given the option of either killing Snowe or exiling him (if you ask him to join you at these two points, he will refuse and be exiled anyway). Choose both times to exile him, DO NOT execute him. To get Snowe you must have first recruited all of the other 107 stars of destiny.

After that's done, pound Gau with your hardest hitting spells and attack. Gau uses exclusively normal attacks, but they are quite powerful, easily capable of doing more than 250 damage in a round. You might want to keep one or two dedicated healers to make up this damage while the rest of your characters go on the offensive.
