Chris Chapter 3
Nash and Chris Lightfellow are in Duck Village, where Nash suggests finding a guide. Maximillian Knight Fred and Rico will meet you as soon as you get there, so just pick the first choices to get them to join you. Go to the Tutor and improve Rico’s Water magic and get rid of Nash’s. Personally, I had a Mother Earth laying around (or you can buy a regular Earth upstairs) and gave that to Nash instead, since he can get that up to a B at least. Outside of the Tutor/Rune shop is Rhett and Wilder, who will be your guides if you can find the village chief. He’s the one outside the Trading Post so talk to him and report back to the two guides. They’ll happily join you and you’ll be pleased with the entertainment they provide. Rhett also comes with Fried Ice Cream, Mashed Potatoes, and Butter Cake.
Chisha Village and Caleria open up now. First though I usually go to Lake Castle, stopping at Mt. Hei Tou if I need the potch. Remember, you can’t pass through the center of Brass Castle or into the council guild in her chapter 3. Build up these new five characters at Budehuc and get their weapons to level 12. At Chisha, you’ll meet Yumi and Yun, with Yun being the one able to see the future and knows about your dad. The mantors will attack shortly after you arrive, and you’ll be prompted to switch one of your characters for Yumi (who has the earth rune 4th level to her credit), so you may wish to do that for one of the ducks. The battle against Franz is rather easy though, and you can rest and leave for Duck Village shortly afterwards.
Tune up your magic skills at the Tutor Shop when you get here, then go to the Inn to get Caesar and Apple to come to Chisha. Upon getting there you’ll be in the middle of a Harmonian invasion. Unlike Hugo though you’ll be in a war battle here and you can change your ranks if you’d like. I generally put Fred alone and spread the four optional characters between Nash and Chris. With a little luck you should be able to take out Dios and Sasarai, if you’re aggressive enough that is. The mantors will appear in the back but the Chisha Clan uses smoke to get rid of them. Shortly after Hugo and friends appear and the enemy retreats. An Earth Chain Mail is the gift for a Major Victory.
Talk to the Alma Kinan girls and you’ll then go to Alma Kinan, which is through the Kuput Forest. You’ll go through a magic barrier that Yuber will penetrate. You’ll have to fight him but he’s alone so that’s not too bad. Your rewards are slim as well. After this you’ll be in Alma Kinan.
There are a Bujutsu and Tutor here, so take advantage of both with your new characters. You’ll get some Melon Seeds in the Item Shop from a girl and the duck outside has an Orange Kennel. Go to the elders house to have Chris talk with the Alma Kinan girls. She’ll get upset so take her north through the trail for more scenes. It’ll be night shortly after this and more scenes with Yun being involved in a ritual. The three “destructive forces” will attack you (Masked Bishop, Sarah and Yuber). This is a very, very difficult battle. I’d suggest using Rico’s Kindness Rain on the first turn, as these three will deal some heavy damage. My entire party was wiped out in the first turn a few times. If you can survive that first turn and take out Sarah or the Bishop, you have a chance. Either way, the story ends up the same; Yun completes the sacrifice and the bad people leave.
Go back to the ritual site the next morning. Chris will want to look for the Flame Champion now. Exit Alma Kinan and go through the scenes and then come back. Talk to Rody outside of the Inn, and then the pink-haired lady named Estella inside the Inn. She’ll ask you to search for Gordius (all-male village in Suikoden V), so go north to the ritual area where a little girl will give you an answer regarding Gordius. Return to Estella and she’ll join you with Rody. Estella is one of the best magicians in the game and I’d advise you give her a Lightning Rune or something and build up her Lightning Magic (you’ll have to go to Sana in Chisha to change your party). When you are ready go to the Flame Champion’s Hideaway (usually with Watari and Estella, although Rody or Ayame work too).
Assuming you’ve been here twice, just go to the Azzodess. This time around it’ll be vital to have a Yellow Scarf on Rico and Estella. Remember, the Azzodess takes no damage on Lightning so try to use Estella’s fourth level Rage Rune spell to do some critical damage. When you’re done, go to the yellow dot in the west path in the third screen to get Chris to meet Sana again. She’ll be the first there and it’ll be time for Chapter 4.
