Suikoden Milich Domain Gremio
Suikoden Index : Walkthrough / FAQ
Moving west through Milich’s Land : Teien : Rikon : Antei : Soniere Prison : Liukan’s Hermitage
So after returning from the Kwanda Rosman campaign, head to the strategy area to see Flik has returned. He is upset about not finding Odessa and Mathiu tells him and everyone else the truth about what happened. Flik is pissed and leaves to Kaku. Viktor joins, so go visit Flik. A few quick words with him and he’ll join, so return back to headquarters. Save and talk to Flik at the strategy area. He’ll bring up Milich’s Domain and suggest attacking the Fortress of Garan to the southwest, something the Liberation Army should easily be able to do.
This battle is easy, just use your thieves to see what the enemy is doing. If they pick bow attack and you use Mathiu’s ability to increase Charge Attack, you can nearly wipe out the enemy’s 6000 soldiers in one attack (5300 or so for me). Easy battle, you’ll be at the fortress afterwards. Another battle ensues at Milich’s place despite Mathiu’s protests, and you get wiped out by the poisonous flowers. After one turn you flee and decide on having a reconnaissance team after all. Viktor and Flik join, and then Gremio does despite Viktor saying he shouldn’t. Strange, well choose your other two (Pahn should probably be one, need to keep building him up).
Go to Teien to the northwest a little, on the coast. In the Inn you’ll meet Hellion, who will join and give you the Blinking Mirror. Now you can use this to teleport back to your HQ whenever from the World Map, which combined with Viki’s skills will make travel very easy. At Teien you can also sharpen your weapons to level 12. You for sure want to do this with Pahn as he has a very very important duel after the Milich Domain stuff. Also the Item Shop has a Killer Crystal (arguably the best you can buy for your fighters) and a Yellow Seed and Yellow Paint. Don’t worry about those two yet but do at least talk to the Item Shop guy to get Chandler to have these Items in his shop regularly. You can meet Eikei in the very northeast of Teien. He’ll ask you if you’re strong and then say “No, you’re 11 levels (or however many behind level 40 you are) too short”. Quality guy, he’ll be good when we can recruit him.
Rikon is south of Teien and you should probably pay a visit.
The Item Shop has Earth Runes and Blue Flower Seeds / Blue Paint The appraisal shop guy is Jabba and he’d join you if you found the Nameless Urn (randomly dropped outside of Rikon / Teien). The girl in the upstairs room at the Inn will be looking for her cat Mina; use the Blinking Mirror and teleport to Kaku and catch the cat on the east end of town (Holy Rune helps but isn’t necessary). Return it to Lotte in Rikon to recruit her.
Now head west to Soniere, although you can’t enter this prison. Instead go north to Antei. Inside the Inn (if you have Toe Shoes on your hero) you can recruit Mina the dancer. Go to the west now and into the Armor Shop, where you can recruit the owner Chapman. Now go to the Rune Sage and Jeane will join you also! Not much else to do so go to Rikon, board the boat, and south as far south as you can. You are trying to get to Liukan’s Hermitage, although the “rapids” will stop you. Blinking Mirror back to HQ then go to Teien and talk to Gen (house northeast of Inn). He’ll join, as will Kamandol next door. Take those two to Rikon and travel again and you can make it.
At Liukan’s Hermitage, go inside his house and take his Black Paint before talking to him. Then go talk to Liukan and he won’t join, but instead Milich will swoop in and steal him and then lock him up in Soniere Prison. Poor Liukan. Return back and talk to Mathiu, who needs Kimberly and Tesla in Antei. Kimberly will do it but she needs to go on a date with Flik first. They drink and Flik acts nervous. Afterwards she says to go talk to Tesla in the house to the north, so do so, and despite his attempts to lie about his identity he’ll eventually join. Back at HQ, you have some forged documents from those two, allowing you to get into Soniere Prison.
Rest up and be prepared, this can be a tough place although there is no boss. Go north and then east, taking the first path south for a Silver Necklace and then returning back to the west. Get the Old Book Volume 6, hit the switch, and go through. You’ll have to go through a series of long corridors and stairs, but fight all the battles you get in as you’re looking for an Opal (to recruit Esmeralda in the Antei 2nd floor Inn). You’ll eventually get to an Antitoxin and then a path leading east and north and south.
You’ll be in the next room and you’ll have to face a series of guards, who aren’t too difficult. Now you can continue west after the first two sets of guards, but why skip the others? You’d be missing treasures. Starting from the southeast corner, the guards yield a Half Helmet and then Sound Setting 0. Now go to Liukan’s cell at the very end and get him out.
IMPORTANT SPOILER
As you get to the exit where the door switch is, you’ll be stopped by Milich. Gremio sacrifices himself so that the door can be closed off and the rest of the party can leave. The spores eat Gremio alive and Mathiu saves the locked-in army after a long time.
END OF SPOILER
Back at your HQ everyone will try to console you, but now it’s time to attack Scarleticia. Talk to Mathiu and unless the hero’s rage on Milich’s army. This battle can also be tough, as you still only have Giovanni and Krin to help you figure out the enemy’s move.
Be careful of Milich’s Attack, it is not a charge attack but a magic attack and a devastating one at that. Once done, you’ll be inside Milich’s place where you can choose three members (to go along with Flik and Viktor). Go inside, take the left path for Red Paint and the right for a Magic Robe. In the back of the first floor now, the west side has a portrait of Milich. You get a choice, so say that he is a victim and a stairway will open up (otherwise you miss it). Inside is a Magic Rune Piece and Window Setting 1. Go up and then to the east side of this room to meet Ivanov, a painter whom you can recruit after the Milich liberation. Upstairs now, go east to meet Kasios, a singer who you can recruit afterwards by bringing Milich to her. But go to the west side of the second floor to get a valuable Spark Crystal (everyone on your party attacks after the person with that rune). Now go south onto the rooftop (make sure everyone is healed and that Pahn is ready to go).
On the roof you’ll see Milich as you’re about to burn the flowers. Instead, Milich’s Black Rune gets burned and he comes to his senses. Say that he is not at fault and accept his request to join you. The rest of your army won’t understand but you can obviously tell Milich is different without the Black Rune.
Afterwards Stallion will run by to tell you that the Liberation Army is being attacked!
