Suikoda 1 HD: Beginner tips and tricks

Getting started in the suicode can be a bit overwhelming, so this guide will cover some useful things to know and ways to get strong early.

How to prepare for the duel with General Teo in Suikoda 1

To make sure you are ready to fight General Teo as Pahn, you will want to make sure he is leveled as high as possible, equipped with the best armor and accessories you can get, and that his weapons are planned as high as possible.

To go into more detail, you will ideally get Pahn to level 30 to the least. This should not be too difficult at this point in the game, especially if Pahn has been in your active party, but if you have problems, you should put him in a party with as few other members as possible to penetrate more expe into him. You can grind against enemies in areas such as Scarleticia Castle or Soniere prison to get good results here (and choosing the latter gives you a chance to find the opal needed to recruit a different character).

When it comes to armor, Pahn should wear ninja garments, headgear and two protective rings. Fortunately, all this can be purchased from the armor shop in Antei or the armor shop in your castle if you have ever visited Armor Shop in Antei. With Pahn Armored Up and Leveled Up, the last thing you want to do is level up his weapons. You should be able to get his weapon to level 12 with the blacksmith available at this stage in the story (Go to the teian and see the blacksmith there), which helps a lot.

How to read General Theo's attacks in Suikoden 1

General Teo McDohl is a formidable opponent, especially at this time in the game, but fortunately he suffers from the same weakness as all other duel opponents: to call his attacks. If you know how to interpret his lines before each turn begins, you can consistently predict exactly what action he will takeAnd then counteract.

Here is a division of all his quotes and the actions associated with them:

Attack	Defend	Special
Is that all you have? Now it's my turn!	This next will not pass me!	I'll end this with a strike!
Now it's my turn.	It seems that you are not to be underestimated …	Impossible … Take this then!
Looked through my attack, right?	Impressive, Pahn, looks through my attack like that. I have to be more careful.	You have shown me your techniques … now I will show you mine!
Impressive, Pahn.	What is it, Pahn? Will come to me again?	My most powerful technology …
Forever on the defensive, Pahn? I'm not going to hold back!	It seems like I lost my cool. I have to be more careful.	Let's see if you can read my attack, Pahn.
My sword is still as sharp as ever!	Come on me, Pahn.	This one will hit its brand!
This feeling in my hands … this is true battle!	Very wise, Pahn.

By using this table you can plan your features. Attack when defending, use special when he attacks and defends when using his special. With this, plus state bonuses from Pahn's weapons, equipment and level, you should be able to take General Teo down.

As a reward to beat General Teo, Pahn will survive and continue to be part of the liberation army, which is crucial if you want to get the game's real end (or just like having Pahn in your party).
