Duel Guide

Suikoden II

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs):
1) How many duels in the whole course of the game?

There are 5 enemies but there are 6 duels all in all. You have to fight Amada twice. One is when asking permission to close the sluice gate and the other is during his recruitment.

2) How does duel works?

Riou must figure what proper course of action he has to take in each turn. Duel is like playing rock-paper-scissors. You just need to use the best choice to counter the enemy's move. An enemy's action can be determined by the words he said. It's your only hint to analyze his next move. Just remember this sequence to win a fight:

- Use Attack when the enemy choose to Defend.
- Use Defend when the enemy choose to Wild Attack.
- Use Wild Attack when the enemy choose to Attack.

3) Who is the toughest guy to take in a one-on-one fight?

It's probably Luca Blight. Many players may end up defeated in the fight since they forgot to heal Riou from the previous battles before confronting Luca in a duel. The Highland king's battle quotes are also hard to determine if he's going Attack, Defend or unleash a Wild Attack. It seems like he is always on the go to use Wild Attack because his words are full of insults and demoralizing battle cries.

Tips and Tricks:
1) Heal first before going to a duel. Be sure that Riou's HP is full especially when fighting Luca Blight.

2) Did you know that a sharpened weapon greatly affects the damage of the character in a duel? It is a big factor to win a fight with ease.

3) Sometimes you will see Riou taking the first assault while the enemy follows and vice-versa. This may have something to do with each character's speed and level. The higher the speed status of Riou as compared to the enemy means he'll make the first strike in each turn.

Fun Facts:
1) Luca Blight is considered by many role-playing game fans as one of the best villain ever.

2) In one quote of Amada, he boasted that he is equal to the strength of 100 men. These words are also used by his co-members in the Allied Army, Gantetsu and Chaco.

3) Many wonder what happened to Han Cunningham after his defeat in L'Renouille. Just like Culgan and Seed, he too died during that fateful event. Some prominent members of the Highland Kingdom Army who managed to escape and survive are Leon Silverburg, Yuber, Lucia and Rowd.

Note:
For the purpose of this guide, Riou is the given name for the main protagonist and Allied is for the army. The one-on-one fight are arranged chronologically as they appear in the course of the game.
