You have to remember, though; the very thing that makes you a nerd is that your enthusiasms are totally unrelatable and non-marketable to most of the world. For example, anime and celibacy. - Seanbaby

ParticipantChapter 4 – Time to Climb Mt. Hobs, Fabul In the Distance
Now that Rydia has gotten over her fear of fire, you can climb Mt. Hobs. For an early save point, go up and west until you see an opening. Keep going that way until you see a odd marking on the floor. That’s your save point. Save the game, use a tent if necessary. Now back the way you came, go east. You’ll reach another opening, go through it and you’ll be at the summit. Grab the treasure, which is 10 Holy Arrows. Equip them on Rosa. Now head up until you see a bald guy and monsters. That is Yang, monk of Fabul. He’ll destroy the Domovoys with ease, maybe only lose around 100 of his 300 HP. The last one, he’s gonna need your help with, so you do help.
Mombomb
HP: 11,000
My Levels: Rosa 10, Cecil 17, Rydia 11, Gilbert 9
Difficulty: 7
Weakness: None
Steal: None
This is a tough battle, especially if you’re underlevelled, which I appear to be. No matter, we persevere. Have Rydia use Chocobo, Cecil attack, Rosa uses Aim, and Yang uses Build Up/attack. Heal when necessary. Go ahead and let Gilbert die, unless you want him to hide, that’s fine too. I found a way to win it by attacking early, heal when necessary, parry when the Mombomb turns big, thus minimizing the damage done by its explosion. Cecil has to use Dark Wave when it splits into 6. Yang can also use Kick on the multiple bombs to eliminate them faster. Let Gilbert hide, since he does nothing. Rydia joins in the healing process with Cure and potions. Lather, rinse, repeat, until all the bombs are gone.
After your victory, Yang tells you who he is, which you already knew if you were paying attention to me! His men were training and were attacked. His men were killed, Yang was the only one who survived. Rosa tells Yang that Golbeze is going after the Crystals. Yang says that they’ll be coming after Fabul’s Wind Crystal. After a long dialogue, Yang finally joins. Now’s a good time to use potions to heal the party, you have a bit of a trek ahead of you. I suggest using this time to level up big time. When you’re off the mountain, use a tent and SAVE. You have a bit of a ways to go to get to Fabul. Build up a level or two, but don’t be hesitant to run! When you get to Fabul, buy Cecil’s demon equipment, and buy Yang another claw. If you have any unneeded equipment, go ahead and sell it. Personally, I go rest after buying Cecil’s equipment, then go back out and build more levels, because you’re going to need them soon. When you’re done building levels, change the party’s formation, and unequip Rosa’s stuff. When you’re ready, go back to Fabul and talk to the King. Get ready for several fights.
Captain & Marine (2)
HP: 320, 65
Difficulty: 4
My Levels: Cecil 17, Yang 12, Gilbert 11
Steal: None
Weakness: None
Remember the fight you had protecting Rydia? Well, it’s similar to this one, only the Captain and Marines are stronger. Eliminate one of the Marines, then go after the General for more EXP. After the General is eliminated, mop up the last Marine for 466 EXP. Gilbert should gain another level. The Red Wings will bomb, and you’ll escape into Fabul Castle. Now you’re in another battle against a Sahagin, Lacy, and a Domovoy. Mop these up, they’re normal monsters. After that, you retreat another room further, and you face another Captain and Marines. Same strategy for this one, eliminate the captain to get the EXP. Yang should gain a level this time. In the throne room, one of the guards will unlock the door, it’s not a guard, it’s a Gargoyle! Eliminate it, shouldn’t be hard. Another fight with Lacy, Sahagin, and Domovoy will ensue. At this point, Yang will want to retreat to the crystal. Gilbert will trip and fall. You enter one more battle. Again, Captain and Marines. If Gilbert is weak, he will run and hide. This is a blessing in disguise, IMO. Heal immediately, then use Dark Wave to eliminate a Marine. Same tactic = good EXP. In the Crystal Room, someone comes out. It’s Kain! Cecil is happy to see Kain alive. Unfortunately, Kain has gone evil! He attacks!
Kain
HP: A lot
Difficulty: 0
My Levels: Cecil 18
Weaknesses: None
Steal: None
You can’t win this battle. Just let Kain kill you. If you want, get a few hits on Kain. Kain will try to finish Cecil off, but Yang stops him. Rosa and Rydia then run in. After a mini-dialogue, Golbeze makes his presence. Yang and Gilbert try to stop Golbeze, but a simple lightning bolt sends them flying. Kain will get Golbeze the crystal. Golbeze will take Rosa. Rydia will use cure and you’ll all be fine. Rosa has been kidnapped. Rydia says that Rosa will be alright, and that they could get back the crystal. Back in the castle, grab an item from the nearby pot, then go east and open that door to grab 3 treasures, including the Demon Shield for Cecil. The King was injured in the attack and has gone to his room, but don’t think about that yet. You can’t go back outside yet, so go rest at the inn. Before you forget, buy some tents for the upcoming area. Trust me, you’ll need them. Yang and Gilbert wonder if there’s any way to sneak into Baron. Cecil says their navy is weak, so going to Baron by sea is a possibility. They’ll ask the king about a ship tomorrow morning.
The next morning, the King gives Cecil a ship, and gives Cecil the Deathbringer Sword. Equip that on him now, it causes random instant death to enemies!
BEFORE YOU GET ON THE SHIP, unequip everyone’s weapons/armor except for Cecil. You’ll see why. Now get on the ship. If you get into an enounter before you get there, just run. It won’t matter very soon. The ship gets going, but eventually, rumbling. It is the master of the ocean…it’s Leviathan! Rydia gets thrown into the ocean. Yang goes after her. Gilbert gets hurt and falls to the ground. Cecil protects Gilbert as the ship goes crashing. Cecil wakes up alone on a beach.

Participantsadly though, in the GBA version most of the guys still suck, except yang, his HP and strenth are nice, but you have to sacrifice your only black magic user, your white magic user, a cool ass Dragoon, or a Ninja, and who doesn’t love two sworded ninja’s. Six party members like the original Suikodens would be nice. :D
I’ve always thought someone would hack the game to make Golbez playable, he has a sprite and battle animation plus an avatar. Simliar to General Leo in FF3, he should be playable.

ParticipantChapter 5 – From Piggy to Paladin
You wake up near Mysidia alone. Don’t go in yet, because we’re gonna build some levels for the final challenge as a dark knight. I personally build it up to level 23 to get Cecil over 500 HP, though you can go higher if you so desire.
When you’re done levelling up, go into Mysidia. DO NOT TALK TO THE BLACK MAGES YET. One of them turns you into a frog. In the inn/cafe, one of them will poison you. Go right into the middle building and talk to the elder. The elder will listen to what you have to say. After Cecil says what he has to say, the elder will suggest that you go to Mt. Ordeals to begin the process of saving Rosa. He wants you to be bathed in the purifying light at the summit and receive the power of a holy knight (Paladin). The Elder sends for two magicians to accompany you, Palom and Porom. As you can tell, Porom is the nicer of the two. Palom uses black magic, and Porom uses white magic. They have a nice twin attack that puts the hurt on most enemies. I suggest going to the weapons/armor shops and buying equipment for Palom/Porom, and the paladin equipment. They will be your only means of protection when you go down the mountain. If you have enough money left over, buy Palom a FireRod, and Porom a Healing Staff. Don’t know how much useful their physical attacks will be, but it’s always good to be equipped properly. Now go to Mt. Ordeals, defeating monsters along the way and levelling the wizards up.
When you get to Mt. Ordeals, a wall of fire blocks the way. Palom will remove it with his ice spell. After that, there’s a cutscene in a tower w/Kain and Golbeze. Rosa is tied up. Golbeze sends for an enemy called Scarmiglione. This is the first of the four elemental bosses. Golbeze will send him to Mt. Ordeals to kill you. After a bit more dialogue, the scene will come back to you, where you can continue on. IMO, you should not be fighting the monsters on this mountain yet. Keep running from them as you get the treasures on this part of the mountain. On the next level, the 3rd station, go a bit of a distance and you’ll run into Tella. He’s searching for the spell Meteo. He says that he will find the spell to avenge his daughter, even if it means his life. Tella eventually joins. If you built up levels, Tella will have gained a lot of HP. Even with Tella in the party, you’re not quite ready to fight the monsters of this mountain, so keep running. Get to the summit. You will start hearing a hissing sound. Porom thinks it’s Palom, but it isn’t. There’s a save point here, go there, use a tent, and save the game. When you get to the bridge, Scarmiglione will make his presence. He attacks after a brief dialogue. Eliminate the 4 zombie things he has with him with Twin and some Cure2 magic. It’ll cure Scarmiglion, but you haven’t done much damage to him yet, so that’s fine. When the 4 zombies are eliminated, go after Scarmiglion full blast. Twin magic, Cecil’s main attack, and let Tella cure with Cure2. This ain’t a true bossfight yet, so that’s why I haven’t put his picture here. When you defeat him, WAIT TO CROSS THE BRIDGE. Go back to the save point, change rows, use a tent, and save your game. You’ll thank me later.
Scarmiglion attacks from behind!

Scarmiglion – First of the Four Elementals!
HP – 3,523
My Levels: Tella 24, Cecil 23, Porom 13, Palom 12
Difficulty: 6
Weakness: Fire, Holy, Projectiles
Steal: None
His main attacks could cause poison! Keep the twins alive AT ALL COSTS. Attack with Cecil, cure with Tella, and use the Twin Magic attacks. Eventually, after a tough battle, Scarmiglion will go down to defeat! You earn 900 EXP for the victory. Now, before you continue, UNEQUIP Cecil! You’ll want to sell his equipment. Now go into the little cave thing. After some dialogue, a sword will fall out of the sky, and Cecil will catch it and become a Paladin, but first, you must fight your past. Everyone offers their help, but Cecil refuses, saying that this is HIS fight, alone.

Dark Knight
HP: Too many
Levels: Cecil 1
Difficulty: 3
Weakness: N/A
Steal: N/A
Do nothing. DO NOT ATTACK! Use potions if your life gets too low, eventually you’ll get a dialogue, which means you have won. After this, Cecil officially becomes a Paladin!
Tella will remember all the spells that he forgot, and thanks to the light, he will learn Meteo!
Now equip Cecil with all the Paladin stuff that we bought earlier. I told you that you’d thank me later :P
It may sound heartless, but you may want to kill off Palom and Porom right now, so that you can get Cecil to a reasonable level. I think level 15-20 is sufficient. Keep Tella alive so that he can cure you. It’ll be quite awhile before he ever gains another level :P
Now that you’re off the mountain, go south until you reach one of those circular forests. Like I said in chapter 1, they are Chocobo Forests! Catch a Chocobo, and take the easy way back to Mysidia. All the villagers have changed their tune. Go rest at an inn to revive Palom and Porom. Now go back to where you met the elder. A long dialogue begins. Put a pot of coffee on the stove, you might need it :P
After this dialogue, the elder opens up the devil’s road to Baron. Take the Devil’s Road to Baron. When you get to Baron, the villagers are talking about how cruel the king has become. Go to the inn, and head up…there’s Yang, and he’s with 2 soldiers. Yang has been brainwashed! His two soldier friends attack. After you defeat the Baron Guards, Yang attacks! After you do enough damage on him, he passes out, then explains that Baron controlled him. After a night of rest, you’ll be ready to go. If you built Cecil up like I told you to, Yang will have well over 1,000 HP! Way more than you probably need.

ParticipantChapter 6 – The Demise of the Twins
Before you go into the locked doors, leave Baron. I like to go to Mist at this point, same way you took in chapter 1, because there are some nice items (Dancing Knife, GoldBand Helmet, Apparition Rod) there. Don’t waste your time in the shops, their weapons/armor are dreadful. After you’re done grabbing their items, go back to Baron, and use the Baron Key that Yang had to open the doors to the shop and waterway. When you’re done shopping in Baron’s weapon/armor shop, go to the building to the far left, the Baron Waterway awaits.
Follow the paths until you get to the waterfall things. When you enter the part with the water that you walk on, go east, then a bit northeast until you’re in the biggest part of this section of the cave. There are 4 rocks to the east. Go there and through that passageway. It’s a shortcut. Follow the next few paths until you get to a room with a door. Go through that door, you’ll see a save point. Save your game and use a tent. There’s a bit of an opening if you go up and right a bit. You’ll find a treasure chest, with the Ancient Sword. I usually sell it, since it isn’t any good. Save your game again (always be very careful at this point), because you got a boss battle coming up. Go east and north, you’ll find an exit. You are now in Baron. You can go to your old room and rest. If you want to gain some more levels, then you can leave the castle and go back into the waterway, and sorta’ use your room as a base until you feel ready to go on. I like to make sure that Cecil is over 1,000 HP before going on, but you could manage if he isn’t. When you get to floor 1 of the castle, go a bit down and right, and someone will call out to you. It’s Beigan, who apparantly isn’t controlled by Golbeze. He’ll join, but there’s a problem! You already have 5 members! Something’s fishy…Palom and Porom will sense some shenanigans, and then Beigan will reveal himself to be serving Golbeze. He attacks.
Beigan
HP: 4,444 (Arms: 444)
Difficulty: 6
Steal: None
Weakness: None
My Levels: Tella 25, Yang 24, Cecil 17, Palom 16, Porom 16
This battle is tough. Use Ice 3 on the body right off the bat. DO NOT ATTACK THE ARMS, Beigan will just revive them. Keep using the twins’ twin magic attack, and cure when necessary. Beigan will go down eventually.
Now that Beigan is defeated, go east, and get treasure that you couldn’t get before. Open the door that is there and get treasure. The treasures are just healing items, but it’s all good. Go back to your room and rest if you want, maybe go back to the Waterway cave and save, because you have a big battle coming up. Go into the throne room, talk to the "King". He’ll turn into Cagnazzo, one of the four elements! Before you fight Cagnazzo, unequip Palom and Porom. Don’t worry about them dying.
Cagnazzo
HP: 5,313
Difficulty: 4
Weakness: Bolt
Steal: Nothing
My Levels: Tella 25, Yang 24, Cecil 17, Palom 16, Porom 17
Cagnazzo is a water element, so he’s weak to Bolt, but fire should do pretty good against him. A few lightning bolts, and it’s all over.
After you beat him, Cid comes rushing in, shouting. Cid will show you the new model airship, but Cagnazzo’s not done with his tricks yet. He makes the walls come in. Both doors are locked, so it looks like the end of our adventure, right? WRONG. Palom and Porom make like they’re about to sacrifice themselves. They cast break, and turn themselves to stone! Tella tries to bring them back using Esuna. No effect, as they have turned to stone by their own will. Tella vows vengeance.
Meanwhile, Golbeze is watching…and lamenting the fact that Cecil has gotten stronger. Kain suggests that Cecil get it for him, in an exchange deal. Rosa for the Crystal.
Back to Baron, Cid shows you where he’s hidden his airship, and starts her up. Kain’s ship shows up, waiving a white flag. Kain calls Rosa a whore, and demands the crystal of Earth from Cecil. Cecil then tells Cid to take the ship to Toroia in the Northwest. We won’t go there just yet. Let’s have a little fun. Fly around until you see a big tower. There’s a castle near there, land near the castle. It’s Eblana Castle, and it has some treasures for you! In the left tower, DO NOT get the chest on the right yet, there’s monsters in it. In the right tower, on the 2nd floor, there is a treasure chest that you can’t get to due to a pit, above the pit, there is a fake wall, go around it. Unfortunately, there are monsters in the chest! A Lamia and Kuar block your way towards getting the weapon in this chest. If you win, there’s a blood spear for you. Unfortunately, you can’t use it yet. Leave the castle for now not grabbing anymore treasures. Fly around again until you find a town on an island. That is Mithril Town, where you can buy some Mithril weapons and armor. When you’re done flying around, go to Toroia. Toroia will be covered next time.

I WASN’T LYING! HOORAY FOR THE TRUTH
Chapter 7 – Here We Come Rosa!
After you’ve done some exploring with your new airship, go to Toroia. Go get yourself some non-metal weapons and armor. You’ll thank me later, I promise. Now go to Toroia castle, and go to your left. There’s an injured patient here. *gasp* It’s Gilbert! Unfortunately, he’s injured…pretty badly. Gilbert blames himself for Anna’s death. Yang laments that he couldn’t save Rydia. Gilbert gives you the Echoer, which you will use against Dark Elf…eventually.
Leave Toroia and head north to a small forest area. We’re gonna get ourselves a black chocobo! They look blue though, so we’re gonna call them Blue Chocobos from now on ;). Catch one, and head a bit east to a cave. That’s the Dark Elf’s cave. Hang around though, since the tune rules :P
Next time: I’ll guide you through the Elf cave!
