Geddoe Chapter 2
Another precious Geddoe chapter. Go to the bar and talk to Aila and Ace to get them to join and then go up the stairs between the Rune Shop and the Item Shop. Geddoe will get some fruit, and then head back to the Inn for some more scenes. Sasarai and the Harmonian Army are on their way to Grassland to suppress the Fire Bringer. Meanwhile your party decides what to do; Geddoe says to go to Le Buque despite everyone else racing to the Grassland area.
Actually though you should go to the Grasslands before you go to Le Buque. Geddoe has the “hardest” of the trinity sight system choices, so being prepared is a must. Now as you make your way to where you fought the Twin-headed Snake, you’ll see a Rock Golem, whom you must fight if you are going to Grassland (but can avoid if you are going to Le Buque). He can be tough and is certainly annoying at the very least with his physical defense. Melee attacks and Geddoe’s Lightning are the way to get it done, but again it’ll take awhile. You can increase your attack by chanting Battle Oath, or upgrade your magic power with Battlefield. Careful of his Explosion fire spell, and getting all your characters close to him is dangerous due to his proximity-attack. Be patient and you’ll have another treasure to raid before you go to Grassland. 10,000 Potch, Stone of Magic, Goss Rune, Blessed Helm/Casque, Blood Armor, Premier Leather, Fine Chainmail, Beautiful Kennel, ? Statue. Many of those are quality so be sure to equip when necessary. Leave the Mountain Path and check out Grassland.
Defeat the Blue Mantix and the Chimera at Mt. Hei Tou and the North Cavern respectively. Neither will yield too much item-wise for Geddoe’s group, but the potch is nice and the ability points are nice. Check out Vinay del Zexay to appraise anything or upgrade armor, and then set off for Le Buque.
The Rock Golem may or may not be there. If he is there let’s hope your runes are replenished. Anyway, at Le Buque… Franz, Ruby and two other pairs of Mantor Trainers/Mantors will await you. Nothing too tough to defeat, just focus on Franz and then Ruby. The masked bishop will walk by now and you can ask him something; doesn’t matter what though.
Enter town to see another Franz scene and then head towards the Trade shop to the east part of town. Aila will see Sarah and chase after her; you can do so too or you can go elsewhere. Iku and Franz will be arguing outside of the house on the north part of town, and after talking to them there will be another scene in the center with the masked bishop telling the Le Buque Mantor Trainers that they can be second class citizens should they prove victorious in the upcoming war. Back west where you were spying on Sarah is Edge and the Star Dragon Sword (from Suikoden 1 and Suikoden II, Viktor had it). Pay him 1000 potch and you can duel him; wasn’t hard for me, he was very defensive and Geddoe is a pretty solid duel character. Afterwards he’ll rescind his offer to give you the sword and just join the 108 Stars of Destiny instead. Iku and Franz will be outside again and you can see another scene after the masked bishop sends off the Harmonian Army after the 2nd-class-citizen guarantee. Inside Iku’s place, you can listen to her or look into the bishop some more. I chose to spy on the bishop, so head past the Armor Shop and towards the ladder. A scene will be triggered with Joker spying on the masked bishop, who is getting rid of the altar protection for some reason. Geddoe finds this strange so talk to Iku at her house again. Iku will join you and take you to Mt. Senai, where the Flame Champion altar is. Before you go you get one more scene with the masked bishop, Sarah, Franz and the rest of the mantor trainers. You can finally leave (or explore the rest of the town freely now).
As far as treasures in Le Buque, there is the Script #4 from a little girl at the Inn. A kid outside of the Inn has the Herb Seeds, and a guy outside of where Franz was arguing has the Arabian Kennel.
On the World Map, Mt. Senai appears. Mt. Senai has some tough monsters but the path isn’t too difficult; just continue north, taking either the left or right passage, whichever isn’t cut off. As you pass a few screens you’ll see an intersection with Sarah and the bishop walking in front of you. Ace will bring up the issue of what will happen should you try something against the bishop and his friends. Note that if you go to the east (where the bishop and Sarah were leaving) you’ll reach a cliff that is a dead end (for now). Instead continue north and when you see an exit to the north, you’ll have a scene and Duke’s group will have caught up to you.
You have some options here. If you choose the last one you won’t fight; if you choose the first one you’ll fight Duke’s group and then the bishop’s group. For the sake of challenge, I’m picking the first one. The battle against Duke isn’t too bad. Be sure to conserve your magic; notably your healing and Lightning magic. You want it for the Bishop. Using the Ace/Joker unite helps start things off and be conservative towards the end; the next battle is immediately afterwards so make sure you are at full strength. Also, be wary of Nicolas‘ ability to block your attacks; lower-level Lightning spells or the Joker/Ace unite will do him in.
Afterwards your party will walk through Duke and his party and confront the bishop and Sarah. Geddoe is very upfront with the bishop regarding the Fire Bringer search. The masked bishop will finally tell you what he’s been up to…or actually he’ll just fight you with Sarah. These two can do some silly things against you. Sarah used Kindness Drops in her first turn but also tends to use Breathe of Ice. She died right away however. The masked bishop on the other hand either uses the Pale Gate Rune or the third-level Wind spell, which will basically kill your entire party. He did this the first turn and only Geddoe survived. The next turn he repeated and I couldn’t do anything. If you’re loaded up on Sacrificial Jizo’s, now is when you put them in your character’s accessory slots. If you don’t win, so be it, the game continues. You do get some nice levels and skills points for winning though. Even if you do win, he uses some magic to hold you back.
Walk back and exit (Escape Scroll does not work). Return immediately and then go to the back of the cave (all the way north, farther north than you were with the Duke and bishop battles). Nemesis the treasure boss is here and he’s hard to see. By the time you see him you’ll be fighting him, so be healed as you cross the bridge. Geddoe’s Lightning Rune helps, but casting Great Blessing and just attacking should do the trick. Use the Water Rune when necessary and he should be gone in a few turns. Your reward? 70,000 potch, Stone of Skill, Script #6 (if Suikoden II data is loaded), Hunter Rune, Custom Casque, Silver Hat, Custom Leather, Custom Tunic, Mangosh, ? Statue.
Head back to the Mountain Path to end the chapter (a scene starts before the treasure boss on the way to Caleria).
