There are 108 Starbearers in Suikoden Tierkreis just as there are 108 Stars of Destiny in the other Suikoden‘s. There are some things to be aware of with many of the optional recruits, so if you want all 108 and the best ending, pay attention and make sure you don’t miss out on anyone.
The 108 Starbearers will be listed as they are available in the game.
1. Hero – Automatic recruit.
2. Marica – Automatic recruit. Joins at Citro Village
3. Jale – Automatic recruit. Joins at Citro Village
4. Liu – Automatic recruit. Joins at Citro Village
5. Hotupa – Automatic recruit. Wanderer who joins at Forest Ruins
6. Moana – Automatic recruit. Wanderer who joins at Forest Ruins
7. Logan – Automatic recruit at Grayridge.
8. Erin – Automatic recruit, Logan’s daughter who acts as spy under Macoute.
9. Mubal – Joins Company upon entering the Magedom and stays to learn about the power of Chronicles.
10. Zahra – Doctor found at the Magedom who joins to treat Cougar.
11 Eunice – Nurse for Zahra, who also joins your company after treating Cougar.
12. Wahie – Joins after you get Cougar. Hotupa will attempt to send Cougar to his own world, but he is unable to go. Wahie comes out and tells you some Gateway advice, and joins after this. You can go to him to do your Nintendo Wi-Fi stuff.
13. Sisuca – With 10 characters recruited, head out via the front exit of your HQ and Sisuca will show up. She’ll say ‘wow, you have 10 characters’ and head out. Later, return to Citro Village and go to the Elder’s House. Have her get ready to go to your HQ, and she will join you there.
14. Anya – After returning from the Magedom of Janam, put Erin in your party and go to Grayridge. Check out the mine and go northeast to see Anya. With Erin in your party, you can recruit Anya. Note that earlier as you leave Grayridge you can get extra dialogue with Anya if you have Erin in your party, but it is not required for Anya’s recruitment.
15. Selen – Selen is Jale‘s mom. During the ‘blooming flower’ season, Selen will show up if you enter the Forest Ruins HQ from the front entrance. The first time Selen shows up, you are likely level 16 or so and Selen will not even bother to battle you. Selen seems to show up every other blooming flower season, and the next time you meet her you should be about level 20 or 21 with Jale. With some luck, you can take her down. But if she knocks you down with her Shrike move, you’re in trouble. Even still you’ll be burning through Mega Medicines trying to survive. Two-Way Strike obviously will do the bulk of the damage but it requires Jale to be almost full HP to survive the turn. Hope that Selen wastes turns blocking. If you still have trouble with her, return to fight her after the Coastal Cave – if you bring Jale along for that he will be about level 25, making the battle much easier. Once you beat Selen, she
joins your army.
Recruitment note : After returning from the Magedom of Janam, visit Grayridge Ch Hall to get a scene with Luvais warning you. This is an important event for a recruit later on.
16. Tongatihi – Once you return from the Magedom and have access to the Corridor area, head there and travel east to a new screen. Once you see a young wanderer, talk to him and his name is Tongatihi. Return to Moana and sign up for Window Information. It is a request from Tongatihi and you can send whoever, because it is bound to fail. After reporting on this quest, a new quest should open up called Windows Beyond the Gateway – this too will be a failure so don’t worry. After reporting on Windows Beyond the Gateway just go
to the Corridor and talk to Tongatihi. Ask him to make Windows for you, and Tongatihi will decide to join. Talk to him in the castle to change the color scheme of your Windows.
17. Gadburg – Blacksmith for the Blades of Night’s Veil. Chrodechild decides to station Gadburg at Hero’s Forest Ruins HQ so the Mage Lord can’t steal his services. Gadburg can use the Spark command (appears below ‘run’ in the main battle command menu). Spark instantly kills enemies lower in level than you but you don’t gain items after battle that you otherwise would have. Gadburg also sells you some nice weapons / armor, and gets more options as you trade more goods throughout the game.
18. Muro – After you go through Giney Valley and Tehah Village, return back to your HQ. There should be a new request, Demon Hunting in Gineh. Go to Giney Valley, specifically the west end. Because in this west-most area, just go straight south and west when you can. You should see some Wanderers running out. Enter the southwest area by the waterfall to see Muro, an Auster Folk. If you don’t see him, exit the area, run back east, and then you should see the scene with the Wanderers running (and Muro should have appeared in the southwest waterfall area of Giney Valley). Muro is a useful recruit because he allows you to get Gorno earlier in the game.
19. Luvais – Luvais was mentioned a bit above, but you can recruit him after visiting Tehah Village for the first time. As stated above, you will see Luvais at Fort Arc, Mislato River, and then an optional scene at Grayridge CH Hall. Many people miss Luvais here. If you have met him there, Luvais will then show up after you finish checking out Tehah Village for the first time. Return to your HQ and Luvais should show up as you enter from the front. Luvais tells you the Order is on there way. You will have to repel a weak effort from some Cynas Conscripts and the Captain. After this, Luvais will join your army. *Edit – After playing through again, it seems you need to visit Luvais once more at Grayridge CH Hall. He will stop you there and tell you to be careful and that he’ll watch the Order. Then, once you return to your HQ, he alerts you of their attack and their strategy. He is recruited afterwards (this was after the HQ upgrades, mind you..)
20. Nimni – Joins you initially as you enter the Coastal Cave to retrieve the Porpos-kin beads. After you return, Nimni joins with Niera as the main rep of the Porpos-kin at your HQ.
21. Neira – Priestess Neira joins after you find the Bds of Priestss. She takes a while to come to your HQ but is a very worthwhile member as a magician in battle.
22. Nemne – Pink Porpos-kin who joins with Nimni.
23. Nomno – Dark skinned, sleepy-head Porpos who also joins with Nimni.
Note that Nomno does not officially join until after the Blades join and HQ expands. Nomno will be tired from the battle and sleeping in the west area of 1F. Check Nomno out, then go to the third floor west side room to find the Porpos-kin, and chat with Nemne. She says Nomno is just exhausted. Also in Nomno’s sleeping area is the cook Wustum (who we will have recruited by this point). Talk to Wustum and a scene happens with Nomno – he just needed some food. Nomno is then officially recruited.
24. Wustum – Upon returning from the Coastal Cave / Naineneis storyline sequence, check out Tehah Village Inn during Sprout season. It is said this dialogue can be accessed even outside of Sprout season – but anyway, talk to the Innkeeper (far left behind the counter) and you will have an opportunity to test some soup.
Assuming your leader quests are clear, head back to HQ and sign up for Find the Chef from Shairah. Asad cannot be in your party, if you are doing this later. Go to El-Qaral Imperial Plaza to talk to Asad. After this conversation, head back to Tehah Village and talk to that Innkeeper. She says Wustum went to the mountain. Sure enough, go towards the peak of the Ch’olui Mountains to see some Janam mages encounter Wustum. Wustum beats them down with his bare fists. You will end up ‘failing’ the quest, but this is good since it means you recruit Wustum.
Wustum can be missed if you do not recruit him by the time the desert is here.
25. Semias – You meet this gambler at the Grayridge Mine, where he makes a bet that he will see you again some time. After you finish the ‘Make Allies of the Porpos’ request, you can go to Naineneis and find Semias. He is the peculiar looking red-clad guy as you enter the Inn. He says he’s going off to make the biggest bet he has ever made. Return to your HQ, and go west of Erin and Logan on 1F and you will see Semias. Talk to him to recruit him.
– WHEN HQ UPGRADES
Recruitment note : Now that HQ is upgraded and Neira is at your HQ, Namna will visit Neira on the third floor west room every bud season. Absolutely make sure to stop by and talk to Namna, because Namna will leave but you still need this dialogue to recruit Namna a bit later. Namna is often missed so do not forget.
26. Chrodechild – After serving the Magedom, joins automatically.
27. Meruvis – Another Blade of Knight’s Veil who joins with Chrodechild.
28. Roberto – Blade of Knight’s Veil who joins with Chrodechild.
29. Manaril – Automatically recruited after saving her at the Arcane Academy. Bring Manaril to the 2nd floor Chronicle room and Mubal officially joins also.
30. Asad – After serving the Magedom, Asad joins your company automatically.
31. Zenoa – Once our HQ expands, leave and enter and go to the basement floor (easier to reach from the back entrance). Zenoa is down here and joins with the Tablet of the Starbearers.
32. Yadima – As HQ expands, check out the western exterior. Past the dock where Anya is, you will find Yadima and his fields. One pre-requisite to seeing Yadima here is to visit him at his hamlet southeast of Citro Village, on the plains. If you talked to him there, you will find him at the fields at HQ. After talking to Yadima, go to Moana and sign up for Plowin’ The Field. Send your strongest characters with the highest attack, like Jale, Selen, Muro, Asad, etc. After you succeed you will want to go talk to Yadima and you will then recruit him.
33. Rekareka – The mother wanderer who you see at Naineneis as you initially enter. After you make allies of the Porpos-kin, return to Naineneis Trade Shop to see that pair again. The mother is Rekareka and the son Tuhululu. If you have done this you will see a Make My Son a Man request after the HQ expands. Sign up for the request, and go towards the ‘Inn’ type area on floor 1 of the HQ – just west past Semias. Anya normally would be found on the right side of this room, but now you see Tuhululu and Rekareka. Rekareka informs you on the
quest she put up. So, go report on that quest now that you have the information and another quest should show up – I Need Laggart Pelts. Not sure who to send but I figured Hotupa is a good start. Once you succeed at I Need Laggart Pelts, you can report for 30000 potch, Rainbow Thread, Rainbow Cloth and Silk Cloth. Also, Tuhululu and Rekareka will officially join your company after this.
34. Tuhululu – See Rekareka above.
35. Geschutz – Optional, missable recruit from Ritterschild. The first request from him is after you do the 2nd Empress Consort’s mission and have checked out the Arcane Academy. Geschutz and his friends pose as ‘students’ from Ritterschild, but really want to get their hands on a Chronicle. After this first meeting, you don’t hear back from them until after your HQ expands and Asad, Chrodechild, etc join your Company. A new ‘Special Proposal’ appears from Geschutz, so accept and go meet him again at Mislato River. Geschutz has been instructed to join your company in the fight against the Order.
36. Buchse – Recruited with Geschutz.
37. Minen – Recruited with Geschutz.
38. Sotah – Wise sage of Tehah Village. If you speak to him as you enter and check out his Encyclopedia three or four times, you can ask him to join but he won’t join your company quite yet. Come back after your HQ has expanded and ask Sotah to join and he will. He adds to your EXP gained if a support member and has plenty of knowledge for you.
39. Balsam – You first meet Balsam and Yod early on at the Grayridge Mine. It is not until later when your HQ expands that you can go talk to Balsam and ask him to look at the elevator. Back at your Forest Ruins HQ, Yod and Balsam will check out your elevator but determine that they need a pump and will have to take it from Yod. If you remember though from Naineneis, that treasure chest at the Trade Shop had a pump. Go to Naineneis, and tell the Trade Shop owner that the original owner of the pump needs it back – he gladly gives it to you.
Return to Balsam and Yod at your HQ and they will get the Elevator going and both will then join your army (note that it takes 10 days for the elevator to be finished).
40. Yod – Recruited with Balsam, read above.
41. Khemia – Go to Citro Village with the Ritterschild trio (Geschutz, Buchse, and Minen). Khemia seems to have created a decent gun, not perfect but it has potential. Khemia then joins to work further on guns for your company. Also there will be new guns available from your weapon shop at HQ after recruiting Khemia.
42. Nuzhat – Bring Mubal to Salsabil after HQ expands and after you have the lift working. Enter the ‘Residence’ to see that strange woman you saw earlier at the Magedom. This is Nuzhat. She gladly joins and turns the cellar into that same dreambeast room that the Arcane Academy had. You can test it out but you will find the EXP yielded here is quite weak. Still, Nuzhat is recruited and has value in being able to increase magic damage in battle as a support member.
43. Icas – You first meet him at Cynas, flirting with girls. Icas then comes up after you visit Salsabil for the 3rd Empress Consort. After this, there is a request at Forest Ruins HQ detailed ‘Find Somebody‘. Go to the Inn at Salsabil to meet Morrin and Yovel. They are looking for Icas, but he will be hard to find. It is not until a bit later when HQ expands and some new young females join that you can recruit Icas. You need ‘young females’, Selen does not count for example. Marica, Sisuca, Erin, Manaril, Chrodechild and Minen are good choices though. So basically, right after HQ expands and you recruit the latter three. Sent a full group of these females and you will find Icas. Another quest will appear labeled Bring Icas to Me. The Hero has to personally bring Icas to Salsabil. Tell Icas he can join and he will be recruited. Turns out as you go to leave, Morrin is already at HQ with Yovel. As you are out here with those three, an Assassin comes by for Icas. Fend him off (he has about 1000 HP), and he will flee. Yovel and Morrin are now recruited as well.
44. Morrin – Recruited with Icas above.
45. Yovel – Comes with Morrin.
46. Numnu – Rascal Porpos-kin who you first meet at the Entryway of Naineneis, after you return with the Cerulean Flux. Later on you will see an ‘Order Attacks Naineneis‘ request where you will meet the Lonomakua Pirates, and shortly after you will see a ‘Porpos abducted‘ request. The villagers are quiet about it but know that the Porpos is at the Coastal Cave. You have to work your way to the back (all the way north and then the middle spring). Within you will see that Numnu is the abducted Porpos and went willingly. You will fight the Dromon Pirates, a tough yet rewarding battle, and then Numnu will be back at HQ being scolded by the Sea Goddess Ninulneda. Numnu is recruited.
47. Dromon – Dromon is the leader of the Lonomakua Pirates and you will see some scenes with him before you get a chance to recruit him. First, you meet
him after ‘Order attack on Naineneis’ and then again after the Porpos-kin faux abduction (you fight him and his friends after the latter request).
After this, return to the Coastal Cave. At the middle spring that you take, this time it sends you to a third floor. Grab some treasures here like the Godspeed Talisman and the Lazuli Spear, then drop down the hole to level two. You can travel to the back of the cave to find the Lonomakua Pirates. You will chat with them and they wonder why they haven’t built a hideout after all this time. The Porpos-kin then go search Lonomakua to see if anything has changed. Nimni says that a chunk of the Lonomakua Chain Islands disappeared, and then
the party appears back at the end of the Coastal Cave. Dromon, Xebec, and Felecca have the vision too, but Dromon wishes to fight you first before
joining. The battle is the same – hopefully you brought new characters to level up to 31-33, but they must be formidable because the battle is still difficult. Defense Canopy helps a lot as usual. Dromon, Xebec, and Felecca are recruited after this.
48. Felecca – Joins with Dromon.
49. Xebec – Joins with Dromon.
50. Nhazu – Nhazu is first encountered at Tehah Village and through the Ch’olui Mountains. After the HQ upgrades and the west half of the mountain disappears, go to Tehah Village to see Nhazu talking junk about Dogha. But agree to take him up to see Dogha’s hut. Even Dogha has nothing but bad things to say about himself. He has lost his identity without the mountain. Return back to your Headquarters.
A new quest will be up, Search for Nhazu! Sign up and you’ll be at Tehah Village to learn the details. Speak with the townspeople who think Nhazu is up at the mountain. You will then appear at Dogha’s hut, who you should talk to and he eventually gets a lead. Go east of his hut for a ledge which can be used with a rope. Follow the path to see Nhazu in the corner. Talk to him and Dogha and Nhazu will start to remember their past a bit.
Back at Tehah Village you will talk some more, and then head back to Headquarters. Nhazu will beat you to HQ and join.
51. Dogha – Comes to HQ with Nhazu after the above events, but you have to
talk to Dogha, exit, enter HQ and talk to him again to recruit Dogha.
52. Sphiel – The Snow Fairy. She can be recruited after getting Dogha. Sign up for Get Rid of the Snow Fairy, and do not put Dogha in your party. Go to Ch’olui Mountains, towards Dogha’s house. Go northwest of his house to see the Snow Fairy. The Snow Fairy will not be here if you have Dogha. Anyway, she battles you with tough snow magic. Retreat to your base and talk to Dogha. He says to tell her you are full. Return, tell her you are full, and she is recruited.
53. Maybelle – While you are at the Ch’olui Mountains getting Sphiel, you might want to head towards the peak and look for a north route that leads to a
huge statue. This girl here knows about a fight 1000 years ago and this Maybelle was the lover of Ru’ukahthis. Hero runs away at this point.
At HQ, Find my Fated Lover will be available. Sign up and Maybelle comes out to profess her love for Hero. Report on the quest for some potch, and head towards Hero’s room. Once inside, Jale will have to come in and take Maybelle away. Now put Marica in your party (or any young girl) and leave HQ. Maybelle will come by and say something. Say ‘that’s it, I can’t take it anymore’ and the scene will turn to Hero and Maybelle in his room. Have her touch the book and have the vision – she is finally recruited.
54. Nakil – A tricky recruit. It is important to be active using Asad after your HQ expands. Eventually as you enter through the front entrance, Asad will say he has to go off. After a short while (it took 15 days / passed a season for me) Asad will come back with Nakil. This is all you need to do to recruit Nakil.
55. Hafin – After Asad returns from saving Nakil, head to the Mislato River with Asad in your party and you will see a scene with Hafin. He has deserted the Magedom to join your company with Asad and Nakil. Hafin is then recruited. Note that these two recruits can be switched in order, but they both must be finished by the time the desert is here.
56. Diulf – Joins automatically after defending Cragbark from the Order.
57. Servillah – Joins automatically after defending Cragbark from the Order.
58. Lycia – Joins automatically after defending Cragbark from the Order.
59. Gorno – Recruiting Gorno at this point is a slightly risky situation because of the Fanged Silkmoth along the route to Gorno. Gorno is at Mt. Svatgol, and if you don’t take this secret passage in Grayridge Mine, you won’t head there for a long time in the game. But after the HQ expands and you recruit Muro and Balsam, you can begin to make your way to Gorno.
Go to the Grayridge Mine with Muro and two other quality members. Take the ‘lift’ to the ‘lowest floor’. This is only recently accessible to you, and it is where all the tough enemies are. Go west and take the first path south, and continue along south a LONG ways, winding left and right a bit until you reach the stairs. Even in the lower 30’s, your party will struggle here with the Fanged Silkmoths. They can do a sleep-all attack on everyone in your party, one of the few really deadly enemies in the game. Just continue to run from them, it’s not worth the risk. Thankfully you will be fighting other enemies too but they are very weak. It’s a long walk but you will eventually come to Mt Svatgol, along the way in the mine you will find a Moonlight Sword, Uncut Emerald, Emerald Ring, and a Spun Silvr Armr. These are the other good reasons for coming along to get Gorno. Once you get to Mt. Svatgol, go east but look for a south path to find Gorno. With Muro in your party, he will be recruited. You have to walk all the way out as the guards won’t let you go further into Mount Svatgol. Gorno is a support character who raises physical attacks and will sell accessories at the HQ.
Maybe the biggest boon you receive from venturing to Mount Svatgol is that the enemies here will level you up to 40-45! This is a double edged sword however as it will eliminate the difficulty of battles for a while (the ‘challenge’ that is hardly in the game as it is). Still, it’s fun to bring characters through the mine to Svatgol to get them from level 10 or 20 to level 40 in no time.
60. Chein – This is a tricky recruit if you don’t know where to look. You have to put Lycia in your party, and go to Cragbark. Travel directly north of it on the Marsinah Plains and you will come across Chein. This battle can be won, but it doesn’t have to be. Chein is tough so you could lose. Head to Cragbark and the Hse of the King
61. Autar – Autar can be recruited right after recruiting Diulf and the Roar Tribe. Talk to Autar at Cragbark and then ‘Gather Animals!’ will appear at your HQ. To succeed in this quest, you need every character with 80 in the speed and luck department. Leveling them up at the Marsinah Plains would be an easy way to get characters close enough in both categories. Just pick characters that are naturally high in both, especially speed. Luck can be augmented big time with Treasure Swords and Noble Shoes, luck raising gear from Pharamond. After completing ‘Gather Animals!’, report on it and then visit Autar at the Town Square and he will be recruited.
62. Guntram – Popular citizen of Pharamond, he joins automatically as you storm back to take Astrasia.
63. Fredegund – Sister of Chrodechild, joins automatically upon taking Astrasia back from the Order.
64. Ouragan – Assassin who you first meet after finishing the Icas and Morrin events. You have to defeat him in battle, and then he leaves. At this point I went and recruited the Dromon Pirates, and by the time I got back Ouragan was at the HQ talking about Icas. Next go to Naineneis to see a scene with the Assassin again. Return to your HQ and the Assassin will be there, and will ask Hero to show him that Icas is still at your HQ. Hero does so, and Assassin leaves again. After returning from recruiting Diulf and the Roar, then talking to Atrie, leave for Cragbark General Store. The Assassin will be here and talks to you a bit more about his motives for following Icas. He doesn’t seem to care much anymore. At this point I took
Pharamond back over and walked around for maybe 15 days / the next season, and Ouragan was back at the HQ. Turns out he wants to join your company so he can continue his adventures.
65. Luo-Tao – After visiting the Scribes with Liu, Luo-Tao will join automatically.
66. Len-Lien – Joins your company with Luo-Tao.
67. Yula – Yula I believe becomes available after returning from the Scribes’ Village. Bring Chrodechild with and talk to Yula along the way to the Pharamond Castle. Chrodechild will be in a duel with Yula. Use your Basic Falcon and Mega Medicine if you need to. Yula should not be too tough for someone as statistically gifted as Chrodechild. Even better, she’ll gain several levels, all the way to 40 for me. By touching the sword, Yula got a vision. She is then recruited after this. You will want to level her up as she will be needed in the near future.
68. Amaralicht – With Fredegund and or Chrodechild in your party, go to the Pharamond Castle to see Amaralicht and Quillard. Quillard will make a comment about the ‘traitor’ Fredegund, and then run off. You have to go find him now, and Quillard has made his way to the Wilds of Veile. Head northeast past where you encountered the Auster Folk. In the next screen you will see some Order soldiers messing with Quillard – they shouldn’t be too hard for you to mop up. Afterwards, Quillard apologizes and both Quillard and Amaralicht will join your army.
69. Quillard – See Amaralicht above.
70. Lathilda – After returning from the Scribe’s Village, talk to Guntram at the Pharamond Castle. He talks about the Woodsland and has a feeling that some lady from Astrasia now lives there. Take out any Scribes in your party, and put in Chrodechild, Fredegund and Guntram into your party.
Go to the Noslaw Woods, and travel east a few screens (from the south end). You will come across Bosche, a wild guy. He runs off a bit further to show you his beautiful wife Lathilda. The Astrasia people you brought with recognize her and is glad to hear that the Order is no longer in control of Pharamond. They then travel to Pharamond with you to see that it is indeed peaceful. In order to keep it that way, they join your army.
71. Bosche – Joins with his wife Lathilda.
Recruitment note : After returning from Scribe’s Village, go through the east entrance to Giney Valley without Liu in your party. In the next screen you should see a dark shrouded figure, asking about the Elder Scribe. Then she walks off, but it is important to see this event right now. You will then see a request from her labeled ‘I want to see the Elder’. Complete this and then you will see her much later.
72. Mourgent – Make sure Yula and Chrodechild are not in your party, and then go to the Blades of Night’s Veil’s area at HQ (2nd floor, west end). Yula and Chrodechild will be talking about a legendary blademaster named Mourgent. Now take Yula over to Noslaw Woods or Wilds of Veile to level up in the low to mid thirties. Sign up for Request from Gadburg, and you will appear at those strange ruins by Citro Village. Gadburg calls for Mourgent who actually walks right up. Yula has been following your party and challenges Mourgent. Use Basic Falcon and it won’t be a long battle, he has but 500-600 HP. Use a Mega Medicine if you need to. Mourgent is then convinced to join your company by Gadburg and Yula, and he does. Mourgent is an elite swordsman in battle with True Falcon. Good candidate for the Evil-Eye Sword as his magic attack and magic defense are already close to 0 as it is.
73. Elder Rajim – After Luo-Tao begins to work on finding where the Chronicles are, go talk to Moana. She says Elder Rajim is by the back entrance, so go there with Hero and Liu. Rajim touches Liu and gets the vision – he is a starbearer as well it seems. Rajim joins your company.
74. Megion – After the Ch’olui Mountains disappear, travel through the peak and down the rope to that northeast end of Marsinah Plains. Try to enter the ruins, and as you do Megion talks to you.
A bit after returning from the Scribe’s Village you should see a request labeled Return of Megion. Level up Diulf and his crew at the Wilds of Veile or Mt Svatgol to get them in the mid 30’s to make this battle easier. Then go to Cragbark to meet two roar friends of Megion, Eusmil and Nictis. Tigre will mention those Decaved Ruins northeast of Cragbark that you have been to. Rest up and head through the Ch’olui Mountains to get to the Mysterious Ruins.
There are some really tough enemies in these ruins and some really easy ones. Take the southwest route and then north for a Lazuli Rod. Now go back a bit and look for a north route going west. You will meet the three Roars led by Megion up ahead. It is imperative you have those Roar Tribe members of your own leveled up and outfitted nice, because this can be a tough battle. Megion in particular can wreak havoc by upping his attack and taking off upwards of 300 damage without a barrier. The other two are a tad weaker than Megion and really don’t have many powerful abilities (the female will poison you). With some underleveled Roars I managed to win with the group leveling up from 25-26 to 34-35. Hero and Diulf have the group touch the Chronicles to get a vision of the One King. They then decide to fight by Diulf’s side. Eusmil, Nictis and Megion are recruited. Megion is a demon in battle, use him.
75. Nictis – Joins with Megion above.
76. Eusmil – Joins with Megion above.
77. Savina – On the second floor of the Inn at Pharamond, you will find Savina. You have to have Icas in your army, and if she won’t show up at the Inn you may need to rest or go through a plot event to get her to appear. She is looking for her lover Darrow (you’ve met them at Cynas before), but Darrow is stuck in Cynas. Savina will be recruited for now.
78. Lubberkin – Sign up for Atrie’s World after returning from the Scribe’s Village. Report on the quest to learn that your participants saw someone from our own world in another world. Now, to the Grayridge Mine. Hotupa and Hero appear at the Grayridge Gateway to see this scrubby man, who is crying. He leaves and thankfully you appear at the Grayridge town. Go to the Inn and put Logan in your party, and then go down the alley to see that man cowering by a wall. Logan recognizes him as Lubberkin, both miners. Lubberkin is sad the town has fallen to the Order, and he decides to join you and Logan at your company.
79. Namna – Namna is the Porpos-kin you have hopefully been visiting for many bud seasons up until now. After you have defeated the Archivists after they turn into Chronicle Monsters (Dirk being the last), you should be able to get a different dialogue from Namna. Both times I’ve played through this is when Namna would join, right after the Dirk battle at the front end of HQ. Namna usually just checks up on Niera and says it’s time to leave, but at this point Neira should stop Namna from leaving and order Namna to join your company. I visited Namna 8-10 times up until this point, not sure if that influences it but make a habit of visiting Namna every Bud season. Otherwise, if you wait too long the dialogue will never change and you won’t be able to recruit Namna.
80. Hina – At the port area outside of the castle to the west, talk to the Dromon pirates, specifically Xebec. He will spew out several lines about the past of Lonomakua. Speak with him a few times and then go to Moana to see a new request up. Put the Pirate party in and Xebec will recognize the name Hina Aumakua, who has the same blood as the Chief. This quest is a whopping 40 days, so walk around for a while and return to see the pirates have brought Hina back. She may be little but she is a powerful magician and daughter of the Tribal Head Kane Hekili Aumakua.
81. Shams – After the Janam event, go to Salsabil to see things have completely changed. After you talk to Shams and stay at the Inn, he will come by again and tell of what happened and express his desire to join. Shams then joins with the Ancient Covenant Chronicle.
82. Taj – Taj initially comes with Shams as you leave Salsabil, though he does not know what really happened and cannot use the Mark of the Stars. You will fight Dirk with him, and afterwards he will continue to be in your service. However, you have to later go to Shams’ room and talk to Taj there, and it will be time for him to touch the Chronicle and see the truth. Taj is then recruited.
83. Tsaubern – After you have escaped to the castle with Shams and Taj (after defeating Dirk), return back to Salsabil and check out the entire town. After checking each spot, you can try to leave and Tsaubern stops you. He is from Ritterschild but is in a hurry so he leaves, but promises a visit.
Return home to HQ and sign up for ‘Promised Visit’. You will be at the top of your HQ with Tsaubern – turns out he is a rep from Ritterschild. Have him touch the Chronicle and he’ll have those visions of the Magedom. Tsaubern is then recruited.
84. Ramin – Ramin is the Maestro you first come across as you return to Salsabil. Ramin is at the Trade Harbor making music, making everyone mad. Hero chases him off, and then return to HQ to sign up for Discordant Countermeasures which is based in Naineneis. Head to the ‘Street’ to see that same Maestro. Hero can tell that music makes people mad, and he runs Maestro out of there. Go to Cragbark now, the Town Square. Hero won’t let him play music here as the Roar would annihilate Ramin, so Hero drags him out to Marsinah Plains. A battle with Pekklars begins, and everyone is in Fury status. These should be easy to maul and you now know what Ramin does in battle – occassionally provides Fury status upon start of battle. It is less likely than passive Fury Marks but still has some value. Ramin then joins the army.
85. Diadora – Joins automatically after defeating her at the El-Qaral Arcane Academy while looking for a Chronicle with Luo-Tao. Diadora is an elite magician and provides extra scenes at the end of the game if you use her.
86. Misrach – You meet this ‘ruffian’ much earlier in the game, but doesn’t join until after the desert event and immediately after acquiring the Endless Travels Chronicle. Misrach is the leader of the Salsabil Liberation Army, and you fought him during the 3rd Empress Consort mission (and possibly again if you visited that southeast Mislato River area again). Also there was a Salsabil Liberation Army request where you see Misrach too. Anyway, after the battle at the bottom of the Arcane Academy with Diadora, make your way to Salsabil. Go to the royal house to see Misrach. He doesn’t remember fighting you at all since Janam is not around anymore. After returning to Mislato River and then touching a Chronicle, Misrach remembers and has even more reason to join and fight the Order. I was really looking forward to using Misrach but he’s quite mediocre.
87. Nova – After storming the Tower of the Way with Diadora, you will flee and bring Nova along as well. He is passed out but joins automatically after this.
88. Nofret – Once you return with Nova and Diadora from the Tower of the Way, make your way to the El-Qaral ruins, Arcane Academy. As you go down the stairs you will see a new room open to the right at the second to last level. Take this route to meet some bandits led by Nofret. You can fight her by choosing the first option, she isn’t hard.
Go to Salsabil and put Manaril and Shams in your party, then return to Nofret. Nofret trusts that these two are truly royalty. Back at Forest Ruins HQ, there should be a new request to help them dig. Bring strong members – not sure how strong, but your strongest should suffice (check their specific responses to make sure). After succeeding, take your rewards and then put Shams / Manaril back in your party to go visit Nofret. Nofret is recruited after this.
89. Vaslof – Enemy general who turns to the Hero’s side after the failed attack on Fort Arc. Vaslof touches the Chronicle and remembers what happened with Ladzaa Fortress, and joins automatically.
90. Resno – Joins automatically with Vaslof.
91. Gilliam – This is a tough recruit, so read closely. You meet Gilliam at the very beginning when you initially go to Grayridge. After the first failed attack on Fort Arc, go to visit Gilliam at the Grayridge Ch Hall. Valfred is losing the confidence of Grayridge. Ask Gilliam to join, but he can’t yet.
Now please save your game. You have to succeed with flying colors on this upcoming request or else you will not be able to recruit Gilliam. Sign up for ‘Defend Grayridge‘ and send three groups to defeat the sand monsters. Try to load up with strong members, at least over 110+ each and preferably 140+. You need 3 full groups so you might be stretching it a bit, though your army should have sufficient depth at this point for a quest of this nature.
If you succeed completely, you gain 50000 potch. Now there is a semi-complete ending to this too, if you gain 5000 potch and the Order never attacked. This is not the result you want, as you will not be able to recruit Gilliam (at least as far as I know). So, make sure you save and succeed completely with 50000 potch – then go to Grayridge Ch Hall to talk to Gilliam and recruit him.
92. Chief Kashgar – Joins automatically after Ordovic comes.
93. Ordovic – Auster spirit who joins after visiting Lugenik with Vaslof. One of my personal favorites with his high attack power, and really high MP for a front line fighter.
94. Indrik – An Auster oracle who you fight at Lugenik and then joins automatically with the Chief.
95. Diiwica – Another Auster oracle who fights you at Lugenik and then joins automatically with the Chief.
96. Sophia – Joins automatically after finally taking out Dust Sophia at Fort Arc. Another powerful mage.
97. Darrow – Hopefully you recruited Savina from Pharamond Inn (read above). After you storm Fort Arc and take back Sophia, put Savina in your party and head to Fort Arc. Heading from Forest Ruins HQ, go through main street but take the second east passage. Continue east, up the stairs, and after some walking you will run into Darrow. If you brought Savina, she will call out to him and Darrow will join. You do not have to complete ‘Find Darrow’ to recruit him either.
98. Yomi – Put Tsaubern and Yula in your party, and go to Lugenik main street. Some performers are here and they say that they are off to Cynas to perform.
With Tsaubern and Yula still in your party, go towards the Grayridge Ch Hall to see those performers once more. Cynas didn’t like their dances. Ask them to help you, and they will introduce themselves as Yomi and Chihaya. You then recruit them.
99. Chihaya – Joins with Yomi above.
Recruitment note : After Rarohenga appears, go to Scribe’s Village with Liu and talk to Hao-Shi. If you have noticed as you progress, Hao Shi has new things to say to you, and he has more to say. He still will not join, but you will now have to look for a ‘Cleaning up the Woodlands’ request.
100. Tigre – After Rarohenga appears, bring Diulf to Cragbark Town Square. Talk to Tigre and Diulf will convince Tigre to join. He is a decent front line fighter but is adept at being a healer.
101. Keflen – You first can meet Keflen as soon as the desert of Janam appears. You will find him knocked out, and then will venture through these Mysterious Ruins to the west end. Keflen doesn’t remember much, but after Rarohenga appears and you attain the Chronicle of Boundless Amber, talk to Keflen at your HQ. He seems to have remembered some more things and wants to go to those Mysterious Ruins once more.
So go to those Mysterious Ruins just southeast of El-Qaral ruins. Make your way to the back, west end, once more. The Chronicle of Boundless Amber will begin to glow and a strange man appears. Keflen recognizes this man as Belemuel, spirit of the bearer of the Tensyo Star. Keflen gains confidence in his past and decides to fight the One King alongside you and Belemuel. Both Keflen and Belemuel are then recruited.
102. Belemuel – Recruited with Keflen – read above.
103. Kow-Low – You see Kow-Low at the Scribe’s Village (he is the west-most character). After Rarohenga appears and after you see Valfred there, return to your HQ and sign up for Find Someone in Rarohenga.
So go to Rarohenga, and then those Mysterious Ruins in the northwest part of Rarohenga. Within you see that Scribe Man with three Pawn enemies – defeat them and then this Kow-Low guy will follow you. He was reluctant to leave the Woods but had to save a girl.
Continue going east within to find a girl being attacked by a few more pawns. The girl has a way to chase the Pawns off. Her name is Rufa and they both join after this scene.
104. Rufa – Joins with Kow-Low after the ‘Find Someone in Rarohenga’ request. Read above for more details.
105. Enumclaw – If you have been keeping up on requests throughout the game, you have seen ‘Get Rid of Citro Monster’ and ‘Get Rid of Mislato Monster’. After the Mislato one you should have had more dialogue with this Enumclaw fellow who hunts these Formless Demons.
Sign up for ‘Get Rid of Woodland Monster’ which appears after Rarohenga. Make your way to Noslaw Woods and you will see Enumclaw after entering. Enumclaw can sense when the worlds become unstable and a Formless Demon is about to come. Hero will go with Enumclaw and eventually you run across this demon. Fight it for a while and then Enumclaw interferes to send the monster away. Enumclaw afterward admits he is the Teni Star and Hero then recruits Enumclaw.
106. Hao-Shi – As stated in the Recruitment note above, Hao-Shi is the ugly, grouchy Scribe you meet at the village. After certain story events, Hao-Shi will have added dialogue including after Rarohenga appears. Talk to him then, and he’ll still be opposed to leaving the village.
After seeing Valfred at Rarohenga, a bunch of quests open up including ‘Clean up the Woodlands’. The party will appear at Noslaw Woods after signing up for the quest. Beat a few Pawns and then Hero and Liu go to the Woodlands Village. Hao-Shi is still not willing to help until Liu convinces him. Hao Shi will follow you as you defeat some more Pawns, and then the village is safe. Afterwards, Hao Shi can finally be recruited.
107. Zayin – Strange cyborg found at the deepest part of the Rarohenga Mysterious Ruins. You can visit him initially as you enter Rarohenga, but you will have to bring Balsam and Yod. They realize that Zayin is an android like Yod.
Balsam gets Zayin going, and he has a dangerous arsenal of attack magic marks, not to mention a natural back-row regular attack (not that you’d ever use it).
108. Mun-Tsang – She is mentioned in a Recruitment note above, because you need to meet her at Giney Valley (towards the east end) without Liu in your party. ‘I Want to See the Elder’ appears, a request by this strange woman. She sees Liu at Flesaria Forest and is recognized as a banished Scribe.
After searching Rarohenga, put Liu in your party and go through Fort Arc. Mun-Tsang will be recruited here, which should be the last Starbearer for you.
108
Got them all (108 stars) thanks to your guide! I’ve already written one comment here, but it’s never enough to thank you for your great job!!! :D
I’m before the final battle now, can’t wait to finish this amazing game! <3
Greetings,
Laura ^.^
Glad you enjoyed the guide and the game for that matter. I’m just happy to help and I have a lot of fun adding to the site and bringing people in so it’s a good situation.
Careful at the end of the game :) Get your Canopy’s up, One King can be tough.
For me I expanded my castle real quick (at about 20 starbearers) but I couldn’t get Gorno to talk to me at all (just said to stop interrupting his work), anyway I just recruited Tsaubern and my hero mentions needing the lift allowing me to recruit Gorno (probably becuase they talked on the roof). I was stuck like this for awhile and google wasn’t helping so I thought it might be worth posting here.
sorry meant Balsim not Gorno. I got them mixed up sorry lol
Yea the Castle expands when you get back with Chrodechild, Asad, Manaril, etc (I think).
If you have Tsaubern you definitely can get Balsam and Yod. Just talk to them at the Grayridge Mine after going up to the roof and the Hero will mention that it is a long walk to go all the way to the top. Return to Balsam and Yod and they will come to look at the ‘lift’. But they need that pump at Naineneis Trade Shop – just talk to the Trade Shop owner.
By far the best Walkthrough for this game. I only used it on occasion to find some missing characters, but it really helped me to get all 108 Stars of Destiny. Thanks for all the hard work, and the Character guide is great! Now if they will only come out with another Suikoden For XBox360 or PS3 :-)
Thank you for the kind words :) Yea most of the recruits are pretty simple, it’s just nice to know the ones that are harder / missable to ensure you get all 108.
As fun as Tierkreis is, Suikoden VI on PS3 would be so much better. Hopefully some day that will happen
I missed the 1st quest from geschutz is there another way to get him?
I missed the 1st quest from geschutz. does that mean i missed him?
i have all of them except for gorno….he keeps on saying ill blah blah blah even though i have muro with me…
you must also have balsam with you
you don’t need balsam i got him with resno vaslof and muro…
bring muro
Piet – I don’t know if you can still recruit Geschutz and his friends if you missed the first mission. They seem to be some of the ‘missable’ characters. I would just keep looking for the request often and hope it comes eventually (either the 1st one again, or the 2nd one to recruit them).
mishka – About Gorno…He still won’t be recruited and you have every other Starbearer? That’s weird. Try bringing more than one Auster Folk. I know I waited until I had Vaslof and visited Gorno with Vaslof on the way to the Auster Folk village Lugenik. He should join, there are no other pre-requisites to my knowledge.
hehehe u did it again yuanshu!
I already used your place for suiko 5
thanks for the guide!
I stoped playing the game when i readed i had lost one of asad minions when the desert apeared, now i can restart and enjoy again.
btw lubberkin, vaslof wife and choerchild sister party for the win
haha John Locke! I remember you! That’s one thing I enjoy most about this site, the people like you who were coming back back in the day in 2005-2006 when I first started with Suikoden V. Glad to see you decided to stop back, anytime there is a new Suikoden it’s a good bet I’ll have a guide up real quick.
A lot of people are missing Asad’s minions or the cook Wustum when the desert appears. That’s definitely why I stress to do recruits as early as possible.
LOL lubberkin! Lubberkin is funny. Fredegund and Vaslof’s wife are powerful, for sure.
For me, I love Zayin and Sphiel. Powerful magicians :)
Here is a txt file with some prices of trade goods in 4 places. There you can see where to buy and sell to make a lot of money. Hope it helps :)
http://rapidshare.de/files/46990595/Trade.rtf.html
Didn’t post the link in the earlier comment sorry ;)
Hey cool, Nivis. You do that yourself?
I didn’t do much trading but next time through I probably will try more.
Yeah, I did it on my own. Took me some time but it’s quite convenient to have something like that. Couldn’t find anything like it on the web. I modified it a bit now, added 2 more places and some more trade goods worth buying and selling. Hope it helps someone :)
http://rapidshare.de/files/46994224/Trade.rtf.html
is there a bonus star like other suikoden games?
that might be fun… um can you help me find another taboo sword? i got it from fort arc
Wtf this faq is really somethin, im impressed. For balsam recruitment i just ask him to join when i had my hq upgraded and after i took 25 people i conviced to join. Oh yes i almost forgot when you want 2 get yomi to join forces to u all u need is get tsaubern and yula also you must gather around 95 people to make quest appears, and after that bring tsaubern to yula room and then go to that giant main camp with tsaubern and yula in party
Tis game is sucks, only 4 member in battle, no runes, no true runes, no map&solo battle, no detailed sod info. Id regret after i play this worth 4 nothing game but at least tis game had great story. For my rating 3 star is enough for lazy programers
haha Lord luca blight…you must like the old Suikoden’s. To be honest, I love them too. I would have much rather they did a new 2D suikoden like I or II, in the same world with the true runes, etc. That said, Tierkreis was better than I thought it would be, though it’s main problem was being way too easy. I’d give it a 7.5 out of 10 about, mostly propped up by a decent story and keeping it flowing well. I know most Suikoden’s are easy but there were at least hard parts in those games, even the One King didn’t seem to be too much of an issue for me at the end.
uhm can i ask something? cause im trying to speak with namna just after the front arc siege and when i asked her to join..she always decline, even though i was keeping track of her even before the 3 chronicles where used by the archivists
Hmm strange. From what I have gathered, we don’t know exactly what triggers Namna joining as a Starbearer. Couple things to keep in mind though – visit Namna often, every season that Namna shows up. I had visited her up to 10+ times once Namna finally joined (after defeating Dirk, Fergus and Conon as their Chronicle forms).
But, are you talking about the failed Fort Arc Siege, or when you finally push through Fort Arc? Just keep checking with Namna and hopefully Namna will join before you go to Cynas (which is the last time you can recruit anyone).
im referring on the fort arc mission saving sophia
after that i saved the game nd asked namna again but stil she declines.i asked her again but the dialoge wont recruit her anymore
Jeez, I don’t know what to say then. You’re having bad luck. How many times total do you think you’ve visited her? Sounds like you should be able to recruit her at that point, but I know a lot of people are having that same exact issue. Just have to visit Namna early and often and eventually Namna is recruited. You can start visiting Namna at HQ a little after the Naineneis / Coastal Cave events, once Niera is at HQ
Hey Nivis – I put up your trade guide on the main site to get it some more exposure. Mentioned you at the top, hope you don’t mind.
http://www.lordyuanshu.com/suikoden-tierkreis-trade-guide-walkthrough-faq
Not at all ;) It’s fine with me.
Well thanks again man. It didn’t convert quite perfectly but I think it’ll suffice. I know I’ll be using it next time around since I didn’t trade much the first time.
Why don’t you put a download link to a txt file then? Btw I envy You to have so much determination to make all those guids to 1 serie of games ;) Respect ;) If you’ll need some help just write me an email pio19_88@o2.pl and I’ll be glad to help You in improving your website ;)
Well I wanted to put all the information on a web page of it’s own so Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc pick up all the content in the guide.
Thanks for the respect :) I’ve enjoyed making all those walkthroughs, though I lack the time to do as much as I used to on lordyuanshu.com. Still, Suikoden is a series I will always cover. I hope to see Suikoden VI on PS3 :)
Anything you wish to contribute for a Suikoden game or anything other game, you can just post it up here or on the forum for the time being. That said sometime in the future we’ll probably open up lordyuanshu.com in a wiki-type format so that other users can contribute their own strategies, images, guides, maps, and so on.
Just want to thank everyone for making this page the most visited page on lordyuanshu.com in 2009 :) You wouldn’t believe how much Google traffic this page yields…
Hey, I’m having trouble getting Nhazu to say the dialoge that I need to recruit him. I just got the Furious Roar on my side and I have talked to Nhazu often, ever since my HQ upgraded, but all he says is “Am I crazy, is there something weird going on?” or something like that. Do I need to go visit Dogha’s hut or something?
Hey Kira ; ) Hmm, so the Marsinah Plains have been around for a while if you have recruited the Furious Roar…it should be good to go to do the side quest with Dogha and Nhazu. Seems like you are stuck at the point where Nhazu talks a bit but doesn’t offer to go to Dogha’s hut.
One big variable, is did you go through Ch’olui Mountains all the way to the peak? You have to go through to see it disappeared – might even have to exit out with the rope to that part of Marsinah Plains with the temple. Check Dogha’s house as you exit Ch’olui Mountains on the way back. Then talk to Nhazu at Tehah Village. That should be enough to get his quest to progress – he should offer to go to Ch’olui Mountains to see Dogha, and you can then recruit Dogha and recruit Nhazu
Let me know how that works….
Thanks! That worked like a charm! Well, off to defend Pharamond.
Ow, Awoooo!
Foxwolf out.
Awesome Kira…glad to hear it. Have fun…
How come I can’t see a quest for Geschutz and the others, im already at the quest before the the magedom turns into a dessert
ive also been with adel for very long but the scene wherein i can recruit nakil doesnt occur, any help?
If you have visited the Arcane Academy / finished the 2nd Empress Consort’s Mission, the Geschutz Mission should be there to start from Moana. If it is not there, maybe you have to finish up a plot mission / storyline sequence so that you can open up missions like Geschutz’s. Sometimes this is the case with Suikoden’s as you try to recruit characters.
As for Nakil and Asad. Put Asad in your party often and come back to the Castle, I think from the north end. You should get a message about something and Asad will go off. He will return with Nakil a bit later. After this (or maybe even before) you can go through Mislato River towards the Magedom and Hafin will show up to be recruited. Usually this is after Asad brings Nakil back to Headquarters.
Hey, I think I found something that could save a lot of people stress with Namna. First, as long as you speak to Namna for every bud season after first seeing him, he should join you after defeating the Chronicle Beasts. That’s how I got him. Then, if he does’nt join you after the Chronicle Beasts, rumor has it that you can get him after you successfully storm Fort Arc. Just find him in your HQ during bud season and talk to him. I haven’t tested this, but supposedly it works. Hope this helps!
??????
numbah 68 isnt working…. iv borught both sisters and and each singly.. not working
ok.. never mind it worked
hey im trying to get Nuzhat , i have mubal with me, HQ expanded the lift(elevator) is done, she keeps saying something like “i'”ll help you but if only i have a room” whats the deal?
antismurf – That’s pretty much what I observed about Namna as well. If you keep up with Namna, Namna should join after you defeat Conon, Fergus and Dirk’s monster forms. Maybe if you started talking to Namna later, you have to wait until finishing the Siege at Fort Ark.
Tisso – I think what you need to do is go to your HQ, and then ride the elevator to the bottom floor. Once you see the place, then go to Nuzhat with Mubal in your party. You will talk to Nuzhat for a bit, and then return back at your HQ in that basement floor.
Im gonna to take Cynas to fight One King, but i missed many missable characters, Like the Chef, and Hafin; Nakil.
Is there another way to recruit them?
I love this game is amazing and the history… amazing, like Okami.
Yea, the three you mentioned are ‘missable’ characters. Meaning that if you don’t get them before the Magedom of Janam events (the desert). You cannot recruit them any longer unfortunately.
If you want details on how to recruit them for a later playthrough, just ctrl+f …’Nakil’….’Hafin’….and ‘Wustum’…(Wustum is the cook)
It is an amazing game, I enjoyed it. It sounded different from other Suikoden’s but had enough of the Suikoden atmosphere.
I can’t recruit Nhazu! When i talk to him, he only says “I feel something strange” or something like that.
My HQ is already updated but i can’t recruit him. What should i do?
i read your comment about Nhazu problem, so forget my problem xd
Hehe good. Yea, you should just have to go visit Dogha’s house at the Ch’olui Mountains, and then return to Nhazu. He might say something different then.
About recruiting Namna…
If after you beat those Archivist who turned into monsters… if Namna won’t join you at that time…
Then it’s Ok to get Namna later after successfull attack at Fort Arc.. It works n I have tried this many times (no, just 2 times). ^^
Also, i want to ask about the real name of the Hero, i mean like Riou, Tir, frey… anyone knows his real name?? Tq ^^
Hey AvaRenn. That’s about what I observed – if you are late to talking to Namna throughout the game, it is likely Namna will join after the Fort Arc Siege (if you are not able to recruit Namna earlier after the Chronicle Beast Battles.
Not sure about the real name for the Hero in Tierkreis. Maybe someone else knows? I could search a little bit and try to find – I really think we haven’t been given a name for him, but maybe.
Tir McDohl is the best though.
I cant recruit Tigre!
He says “Hero and King Diulf, i will pray and bla bla bla…”
The first time he said That had to defend the village.
What i can do?
Hi, i just want to say that i’m one of the biggest fan of suikoden series. I really really like this series. My own personal favourite is Suikoden II and Suikoden Tierkreis.
Thank you for providing me the best info, hints, walkthrough, and character guide.
Just want to give additional info about Namna.
When your HQ expands, make sure you talk with Namna (whatever season you’re at). And then stop by and talk with her EVERY BUD SEASON. Do not miss any of this period.
I got Namna after visiting her 10 times.
Good Luck!
Ew.. Lord Yuan Shu, Tir is a name for First Suikoden Hero right? ^^
hahaha.. maybe my name is the best (Suikoden Tierkreis Hero real name>AvaRenn) hehehe…
Peters from Furious Roar Tribe> Of course Tigre won’t join, because Tigre join after successfull siege at Fort Arc (if I’m not mistaken but I tried to recruit Tigre at that time) ^^
Peters from Furious Roar Tribe – AvaRenn is right, Tigre is one of the last characters you can recruit in the game. You have to push through Fort Arc (and the Sophia battle) and then you can bring Diulf to the Furious Roar Tribe and Tigre will join. I actually like Tigre in battle, he has great healing abilities while still doing decent damage from the front-line.
Thabotie – I think with Namna that most people have problems because they visit Namna too late. Like you say, people need to start talking to Namna every bud season starting from when HQ expands (Namna appears once HQ expands and Niera comes to your castle).
Suikoden Tierkreis is your favorite along with Suikoden II? I like Tierkeis, but Suikoden I and Suikoden II are my favorites – but I’m old, I like the old PSX classics :)
Ow yeah, i always late visiting Namna… I don’t know what’s wrong with my brain, maybe it crush something when I was young?? But I can’t get all 108 starbearers without a guide…
Suikoden II is my fav Suikoden because the story is very very great! And I can get all 108 SoDs without a guide. hahaha… ^^ (it because I have finished this game 10 times already…)
Okay, tq for this and that (i mean this forum and guide), It helps me soo much ^^
Arigatou… (I’m not from Japan though..)
How about “Terima Kasih” (It means Thank You in Indonesian) ^^
Terima Kasih, AvaRenn. Thank you for stopping in to lordyuanshu.com and teaching me some Indonesian :)
Suikoden II is my favorite as well. I have played through it many times as well. Best story of all the Suikoden’s and I like the 2d PS1 graphics. Gameplay is good, some battles / bosses are hard but not too hard. Battles in Tierkreis are really really easy – recruiting all 108 Starbearers of Destiny is not though :)
It’s okay about Namna. Everyone forgets to visit Namna early on. Just try to remember next time you play through :)
Hi there, thanks for your guide! It helped me a lot :D
Uhm, like everybody else, I’m having a problem recruiting Namna. I’ve seen Namna twice, First is after the archivists event, and then after beating Sophia, but he still won’t join me! :( Am I too late? :(
hey guys! im finally on my last recruit but i can’t seem to find mun-tsang. i’ve finished ‘i want to meet the elder’ and i’ve gone through the storyline and went through Rarohenga. i’ve been walking around for fort arc for hours with liu but i still can’t find mun-tsang! :(
any ideas why? thanks alot!
and dey:
i’ve talked to namna around 5/6 times and he has about 3 different things to say to you and i think twice isn’t enough. i could be absolutely wrong though! sorry im not much of a help
oh man :( so by that point I can’t recruit him anymore? pretty sad…
anyway,thanks timmy :)
have you tried entering fort arc from cynas’ side?
how come when i try to get tigre(after rarohenga appears and i have diulf with me)he says something is not right and i need to stay here to protect cragbark (well,something like that).anyone know what to do?
Oh whoops I haven’t answered these questions in a while.
Dey – you’re probably screwed with Namna. I had to talk to Namna 10+ times (all before Fort Arc siege) and Namna eventually joined after defeating the Chronicle Beasts (Dirk, Fergus, Conon). The key is to talk to Namna early and often (as soon as your HQ expands).
As for Mun Tsang, hmm. I’m trying to figure out your problem Timmy. So you met her at Giney Valley, and then did the ‘I want to see the Scribe leader quest’. So you fought Mun Tsang. That should be all you need to do – just check the far north end of Fort Arc after your successful siege. Keep checking it – Mun Tsang will eventually show up BEFORE you go to Cynas. If you go to Cynas first, it won’t work. Maybe clear your quests with Moana, that could help (sometimes helps for other recruits at least).
Johnson Liu – Rarohenga has appeared and Tigre still won’t join? Maybe you need more characters recruited or something – Tigre is one of the last 8-10 characters you recruit. Maybe go into Rarohenga and do some things there and then return to Cragbark. Eventually Tigre will join you if you have Diulf in your party, he seems to be making it harder for you I guess.
Hi there Lord Yuan Shu, back again, I’ve finished this game! Yay! With complete starbearers. Thanks for your help! The ending wasn’t as cool as I thought lol.
Oh yeah, the last chance to recruit Namna is before the attack to Cynas. I did it after the ‘Grand Hall’ scene. We still have some sparetime after the scene! And yes, I’ve done what you said. I talk to him whenever he visits me (Just walking around until it’s sprout season and then check the porpos’ room). And voila.
Once again, thanks! Sorry for my broken english.
i know how to get tigre!first you have to recruit chein,ouragen and roberto.after you recruit those three you should get a request from tigre saying order troops are near cragbark.after that when rarohenga appears and valfred gets the chronicle go to cragbark and put diulf in your party.talk to tigre and he should be recruited.
hope this helps!
i got them all even wahie but he doesnt show up in my tabel?
so its saying i need 1 more
Hmm…Wahie should be on the tablet. You just have to go talk to him in the portal area (online play), near where Tongatihi is. Just talking to him should be all you need to do to recruit him – and you might not even have to talk to him to have him join. Are you sure he’s not already one of the starbearers? I could have sworn he is an automatic join when you try to send Cougar back to his own world, Wahie comes out and talks to you about teleporting.
Hmmm…..I only needed to talk to Namna about four times. And the ‘Defend Grayridge’ quest where you get Gilliam actually appears twice. If you fail the first time [after sophia becomes dust sophia] it appears again after Rarohenga has been cleared.
hey yuanshu im having trouble recruiting nhazu I talked to him after the ch’ouli mts. disappeared but he didnt ask me to take him to the mountains. did I miss something?
Suikoden Tierkreis is the first and only Suikoden game I have played, I hadn’t heard of these games before.
The first time I played this game, I only got 60 of the characters XD…I got Namna after the third time I spoke to him/her (i’m not really sure what gender Namna is, and with Nimni)
I’ve just started a new game to try and get all 108 characters using your guide so i’ll say thanks in advance.
Aeroden – Thanks for the info on Gilliam’s quest re-appearing.
frank – Hmm…I think maybe you need to go up to the house at the snow mountains, then return to Nhazu. He’ll then ask to come up there again, so go back up there.
Aeroblader – Yea I’m not sure what gender Namna is either. That’s good that you recruited Namna easily though since Namna seems to be one of the hardest recruits, or the recruit that is missed most often. Follow the guide this time and you should have no trouble recruiting all 108 :)
frank- i had this same problem, you must go all the way through the mountain, to where the rock and rope is. then return to nhazu. you might wanna add this in the guide since im sure we arent the only two who had the problem
Gotta cath ’em all!
Haha, yea…well…I know Pokemon has been around for a while but Suikoden has too. Plus, the theme was stolen from Destiny of an Emperor anyway.
finally got them all, after getting to the end game and seeing this guide and starting over lol
well beat it with all 108, wish something came after one king, like new game+
Wait, there isn’t a New Game+ with Suikoden Tierkreis? I thought there was but maybe I’m mistaken.
The One King is cool at least in that it’s somewhat of a challenge, unlike the vast majority of the game. If you are unlucky with your speed and can’t heal in time for example, you may die. That was my problem with Tierkreis though. Besides that last fight, it was just too easy. You can say this about many Suikoden’s but the other one’s weren’t this easy.
thanks 4 the guide now i can start new game and complete all 108 character in this game
ur amazing man thanks………………………..luv u so much…………….now i know ow to complete it…………………
Wow, you luv me huh, I’m flattered. Not sure if I’ve heard that one before. But the guide won’t let you down – follow it carefully and you will recruit all 108 Stars of Destiny and get all the important treasures. :)
i have a quest luvais outfngs , any body want t help me solve thiz???n whay the quest from hao shi didn;t come to my quest list after rarohenga appears??
Hiya! ^^
Your walkthrough was mighty useful, thanks~!
Oh, something to add on to the hero’s name, his name is actually Sieg. (Found out from a Tierkreis fanart entry on DA) I am quite sure his name is Sieg, I’ve asked around!
Ugh, I love this game to bits. Porbably my 2nd favourite game, and it can possibly beat my all time fav., Okami~ <33
ahahaha..
i did not complete all the starbearers because
when my HQ expanded ide never come back to
the other starbearers to recruit them.. well the game is very nice..
love it.. thanks for the guide.. i hope there are still suikoden
that will appear.. god bless
help me ,i cant recruit Maybelle…..
help me again==. i had recruited Maybelle ,but i don’t know how to recruit Yomi and Chihaya .i had brought Yula and Tsaubern in party, but when i get Lugenik Main Street ,nothing happen there…what should i do?
I can’t get tsaubern. any help
what if you don’t have some of the characters from janam and the desert already comes. Is it too late to recruit those characters?
uhm you cant get tigre if u havent get chein i was trying to get tigre but he wouldnt join but after i got chein he joined and the guide is very helpfull
Hey guys, is it normal to get from lvl 28 to lvl 41 in one hour and only 2 fights who gave exp ôo? xD when the quest abducted poporos came, i forgot to add ppl to my party so i was just with marcia and hero fighting the pirates o.o after that i got like 8500 exp and they were lvl 37 ôo then i back at HQ i added jale and muro and was on my way to gorno. there at the are where u recruit him, i fighted one mob ôo with that mob, they got from 37 to 41 O.o i couldnt really believe it ôo two fights and voila u got big lvl O.ô
Hey Teite. I actually had the same thing happen today as I am right where you are (after the HQ expands and you can go to Mount Svatgol).
That’s the thing about Suikoden – you can fight 50 battles in an area where there are weak enemies and you won’t gain a level….. but once you reach a new area you gain levels extremely fast. When I first got to Svatgol, all of my level 33-34 characters went up to 40-41 in one battle.
You’re also right about the Dromon Pirates battle too. You fight them twice and it’s good to use a party in the mid to high 20’s in level so that they can level up to 33-35 or so.
hey, is it possible to recruit after the appearance of the 12th world ??
i’m having trouble recruiting Mourgent because “Request from Gadburg” isn’t available. I’m not sure if there’s more that I need to do or if I failed the quest before I found this guide. Any help would be great.
Just got a quick question. About the Oracle solidiers. (1st time playing through.) Do they join at the exact same time, or do you have to talk about attacking Fort Arc a second time. I’m asking because I have Gorno, Muro, Ordovic, Vaslof, Resno, all the Auster Folk except those two. I’m just not sure. Thanks for your time!
Yes Smarty, Indrik and Diiwica join at the same time after the Auster stuff at Lugenik.
As four Mourgent, I believe you have to visit with Yula on the 2nd floor – west end? She might mention something about him, and then the quest opens up.
I recruited Anya without Erin in my party. Does that affect her role in the game?
Doubt it will matter J-boi. No worries.
uhh…sorry to bother ya’ but i have like 105 of them…but idk who the chikai,chichin,chima,chikie and the chisou stars are…could ya’ please help…thx :)
Hmm, I don’t know ’em by what name their star is :P Just check above and see which three characters you don’t have.
opps i mean i have 103 stars…lol
i need help to recruit the old man from the mountain, i got the boy, but i cant find the old man anywhere. i need help :(
Well if you recruited the boy, Nhazu, then Dogha (old man) should have came to HQ as well. He should be outside at the southeast end (headed towards Janam / Citro). You will see him there, so talk him, exit HQ, then talk to him again. That should be good if you are having problems recruiting Dogha.
The other problem that I have is Namna, she just keeps saying the same think about the princess, the dialogue hasn’t changed
Try this if you’re having trouble recruiting Namna. After telling everyone that you will not use the option where all the stars unite (next scene after fighting Valfred the first time, when the whole castle is empty) try to recruit him. He will be the only one in the castle at the time, but he’ll be there in bud month like usual and even though Neira isn’t there the dialogue should still work.
i talked to namna more than 20 times but the dialogue did not change. why?
Continue to check back after every story event. Namna should join after you have defeated the Chronicle bosses (I believe after Dirk). I have went through the game three times and this is when I recruited Namna each time.
Hey thanks for the guide :) I think this suikoden story is so atheist. lol.
lol, nice sumone. Down with the One King!
I don’t think so. It’s still got morales and values. But still, Down with the One King!
I think Atrie is the real name of the hero in this game. :D
:P I would have much rather it of been Atrie than the annoying Hero we got.
I am having trouble with an unusual one. Maybelle won’t come to my hero’s room. I saw her on the mountain and did the fated lover quest but i haven’t seen her since.
Hey omandy,
Hmm, only thing I can think of is to put a group of young females in your party and then leave the castle. Trying leaving on the back side and the front side, but I think one of them triggers a scene where Maybelle talks to you on the World Map. Then she should meet you in the room. Let me know.
nvd.I took everyone but the hero out of my party and cleared all my quests that seemed to do the trick.
I saw Wustum at Tehah but a quest isn’t showing up in Moana’s list. This is right after hq expands.
Might have to do what omandy did, and clear quests or do plot events. It might just take a bit for the quest to pop up.
Please help me! I wan to do the Special Proposal quest to get the trio characters but I’m in the part where the hero and the others decide to take the stolen Chronicles back! I’m about to talk to Luo-Tao to progress the story but I’m still collecting characters I may still recruit. Please, help me! Is there any possible way I could do that quest? It didn’t seem to appear when I was in the part the lake appeared… Please, help!
Sorry Rxtr, but Geschutz and his group is missable. I believe if you don’t do the Special Proposal quest before the desert land disappears that you are screwed. Sorry again.
ok how the hell do u get to trade inside your castle which person is it please tell me someone
This guide has been a huge help. Thank you. I’ve one question, though, if you could help me. The guide says that if you use Diadora, extra scenes will become available at the end of the game. Do I unlock those scenes by regularly having Diadora in my party, or by having her in my party for the final battle?
Thanks for the kind words lthuar. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Anyway, not entirely sure how these Diadora scenes come about. I want to say that you just have to use her towards the end through the One King for her extra dialogue.
if i missed the opportunity to get some star bearer can i get them later at the game?
Hey vis. It depends. If the starbearer is miss-able, I definitely mention it above in the 108 Stars list. And I do the list in order of being able to recruit so you won’t miss anyone so long as you bookmark it and follow as you go town to town. So it’s in your best interest to recruit these characters as soon as they are possible to recruit.
Ouragon you meet at HQ, Nainenis, HQ then Cragbark, then you get Pharmound and then you can get him, For Lathilda, you only need Fredegund
this guide is bombb
you are
Nurin Seira
This guide is the best and I love all the comments on here for extra opinion basically, not that the guide leaves things out but I like hearing when other people are recruiting characters. Cheers
I have recruited Anya in Grayridge alley later in the game, and Erin is’t required to recruit her. :)
Thanks Abel, I will amend the guide.
By the way, classic Suikoden fans should rejoice. Suikoden Gaiden ahem, Suikogaiden, is almost translated to english and soon we will have a Suikogaiden english rom patch for it.
If you want to help the project in any way ( like with what’s left of the translation, but probably mostly playing the game and giving feedback on the english / script) go to that translation website and visit their forum.
My life has a meaning again, got to 99 the first time.

i cant get namma i have tryed 50+ times still no luck could you give me some advise
How far are you? You beat the Chronicle bosses (Dirk and the other two library lackeys)?
Every time I went through it was after defeating Dirk that Namna finally joined during that season after talking in the HQ.
and whats with the weird monster thing over
<—– there
<—–
oh i get it you drew those right?
haha, nah dude…they’re randomly generated based on your email.
This guide is the shit pardon my french
lmao…
Love it
Fucking stud lordyuanshu Suikoden 2 Walkthrough
:) I love my fans
Owh man, this guide is asome~. But i still doesn’t get’it about wustum Recruit @@
Great work bro, I got all 108 Stars of Destiny in this Suikoden thanks to you.
oke, i’ve lost asad ‘s friend -,- it’s mean i can’t got all of the starbearer huh? huweeee! it must be a BAD ending! nooo!! i don’t wanna to replay this game again :'(
if i don’t get all the starbearer it always bad ending huh?
Well Titan, it is not a big deal if you don’t have all Starbearers. The ‘special’ ending is not that great.
So if you don’t want to go through again, I wouldn’t worry. Just enjoy the rest of your way through the game.
Who’d you miss out on? Nakil or Hafin?
well, my friend said if i didn’t get all of the starbearer i’ll have bad ending , ” the game over” it is true?
i’ve passed when attack fort arc, and i haven’t get the pirates, is still possible?
i’ve lost both of them :(
Is it possible to miss out on the banished scribe? I think that I did -_-
Disregard that last question-i gots her. (Just had to do a little exploring :3) A better question is, Who is the chimi star and how do i get him or her!!!
Hmm, not sure bro. Is it one of the last characters on this list that you are missing?
Or maybe it’s Hafin or Nakil, Asad’s buddies that a lot of people miss. Or Namna.
I have asads people AND namna. Im right before I storm Cynas
How about Hao-Shi (scribe) + Zayin (cyborg in Rarohenga)?
And earlier, the cook Wustum? He is missed often too…
I don’t know, just trying to think of most-missed characters. Check the list above, all 108 are in there, a name you won’t recognize has to be in there :)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT WAS NAMNA!!! Now I remember…..I was leveling up my teams up to at least lvl 50 and I was overconfident and got everyone killed by a stupid whale!! I had namna,but forgot to save -__-
Namna has been recovered safe and sound,my tablet is full,and I have made Chuck Norris laugh with a funny joke. All is right with the world and its all thanks to you! ^_^
lol, glad you got that figured out. Had a feeling it would be Namna :P Like 90% of the people that email me can’t get Namna or one of Asad’s cronies.
Could you please tell me whether “Marica?” can be recruited or not? I followed your guide, and I believe I don’t miss a thing. But I still can’t get “Sorry to Keep Bugging You!” quest.
Sorry if I posted this on the wrong page. I’m looking forward to your answer.
Best Regards,
Asinankurus
Hey Asinankurus.
To my knowledge, we cannot recruit other-world Marica. She’s certainly not a starbearer at least. As for the quest, I’m not sure why that is not opening up for you, I’ll think about it (though I don’t think you’re missing much from that quest).
Ah, thank you very much for the fast reply. :D
Fortunately, I got the quest right after the HQ upgraded.
Not sure why, though. Maybe the season does matter?
Also, about recruiting Nakil… Asad did left the HQ.
But I’m not quite sure as to how long he’ll go.
I’ve spent 30 days but he hasn’t back yet.
Maybe I should just wait for another season?
All the best. :)
Oh~ Nakil is found! XDDDD
I loaded the last save point and tried traveling again.
This time I traveled about 18 days and went back to HQ.
And I entered from the Front Entrance, just in case that will help.
It seems I took too much time traveling around before? lol
Oh, and recruiting Hafin was easy afterwards.
Thank you very much for the awesome guide. :D
Probably I’ll need your help again. :)
Thank you.
Asinankurus
Hm :l i am at the point where i just broke out of the perpetual day (yes, almost at the end) and i stil miss:
nofret
yomi
chihaya
Hao-Shi
can i still get them? :(
when i go to lugenik with Tsaubern and Yula, nothing happens, and when i go to the ruins of arcane academy, all the doors are closed. Haven’t tried hao-shi yet though.
Hey, Why not add alternatives to trigger the Maybelle recruitment event? I triggered the event by entering the Hero’s room alone. While, I searched and found there are people saying not to have Jale in your party, as Jale is part of the event?
-Not having Jale in your party.
-Not having Marica in your party? as she is part of the event as well, if the usual way doesn’t trigger the event?
-Enter the room alone without any party members.
HELP! I’m stuck at Defend Grayridge. I can confirm that after getting Sophia, you can’t get Gilliam anymore. I’ve already tried all possible combos of having people with Sand Crumbler and any Water-affinity spell in all 3 parties but it still doesn’t work! I’ve been stumped for some time now so this is driving me crazy already.
What teams did you guys use to succeed on this quest? I really want to complete all the Stars… :(
its not about the moves Ange, its about the attackpower :P
110+ and preferably 140+
I was playin my game again in forever and I checked this website to see if I missed any… I have a perfect 90/90 so far without looking it up (surprisingly). And then I recruited the rest using your guide. Thanks for posting to get my 108!
Man I met Balsam and Yod after the HQ expanded and now all they say is; ” Can’t you see I’m working? Leave us alone!”
Can I still get them?
yes you can still get them… as of now im still trying to recruit other star member.. waiting for the dessert before heading to MAGEDOM… whew…
Yeah goy em just after I sent message, now I’m stuck on Anya… Any Help?
Stuck on Mung-tsang any tips?
the doors to the academy will remain closed if you bring shams / manaril ,
you must remove them from the party , then go inside and you will find the door are open , bring shams & manaril after that
hello I think I’m having a problem here. Nuzhat does not come with me even though there is already a lift working in my castle. why is that? please and thank you :)
ok sorry. you have to chechk out the cellar first before going to meet up with Nuzhat. my mistake :)
hi can anyone help me? I’m stuck on Nhazu, he just keep saying “Am I going crazy?…..” Is there anything else I need to do for him to ask me to go the mountains? please and thank you. :)
thanks for this walkthrough! :P i’m close to 108 stars, tho i think it’s impossible for me to get Tigre (i already triggered his event w/o Diulf in my party) Thanks again!
