26/30

Exertion Rune

-------------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: Kobold Village

Attached To: Hix (Permanent)

Monster Drop: Not Dropped

Guardian Deity: T,R,U,U

Permanent: Hix (Weapon)

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: This weapon rune will allow your attacks to increase

by 50% percent each turn for approximately 4 turns. At the end of

four turns in battle, a 200% increase in attack strength is what

is found to be the limit of the rune.

Fire Lizard Rune

----------------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: Sindar Ruins

Attached To: No oneMonster Drop: Salamander (Sindar Ruins)

Guardian Deity: T,D,D,U

Permanent: Nobody

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: If you embed this rune into your weapon, you

will boost your attack rating to 1 1/2% normal rate adding

with the boost extra fire damage. The drawback of this rune

being that 50% of the damage dealt in the attack is reflected

back upon the user in the form of fire damage.

Friendship Rune

---------------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: South Window (Search the bonsai plant near Gantetsu)

Attached To: No one

Monster Drop: Not Dropped

Guardian Deity: T,T,D,U

Permanent: Nobody

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: The Friendship Rune (Keep in mind, only when equipped)

raises your ATK stat by 1 point for every 2 "friends". While all

Stars of Destiny seem to count, the four non-star squirrels and

having Tir McDohl recruited also possibly increase the potency of

the rune. There has been some speculation as to whether possibly

others increase the Friendship Rune's effect as well. Such asNPC's.

Hunter Rune

-----------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: Kyaro (The tree behind the Dojo, post Beast Rune)

Attached To: No one

Monster Drop: Not Dropped

Guardian Deity: U,T,T,U//U,U,T,U

8/13/2019 Suikoden I1Rune

27/30

Permanent: Nobody

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: This rune is quite special and unique. The rune

lowers your hit% to 5%, and makes your normal attacks do 1

point of damage each. A successful hit however ensures that

an enemy will drop an item 100% of the time.

Kindness Rune

-------------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: Lakewest (In a vegetable basket found in the docks)

Attached To: No one

Monster Drop: Not Dropped

Guardian Deity: T,T,R,U

Permanent: Nobody

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: This rune is rather complicated to explain.

The way it works is that basically all characters have a

private "Kindness factor". If the character is in youractive party when the game clock hits 00 or 30 minutes,

their "Kindness factor" increases by 1. Getting KOed in

battle reduces the character's "kindness factor" by 1,

and this value can go so low as becoming negative. Every

character starts out after recruitment with 0 points.

Once a character's kindness factor reaches "3", which

would require them having been in your party for some

play time, and you put on the Kindness Rune onto that

character, his/her ATK goes up by 3. If you put it on

someone with 0 kindness points, their ATK bonus is 0

from having equipped the Kindness Rune. It only counts

the person's own kindness points, not the entire parties.

However, everyone in the active party gains 1 kindness

point every 30 minutes regardless of whether or not they

have the rune equipped.

The Kindness Rune uses the character's own

"Kindness factor" to determine the ATK bonus. If it is

0 or greater, the attack bonus is equal to the

"Kindness factor". If it is below 0, the game considers

it a very high positive value and the ATK bonus is

incredibly high. However it should be known that

regardless of runic effect, your total ATK is capped

at 999.

Magic Drain Rune----------------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: Sindar Ruins

Attached To: Kahn (Permanent)

Monster Drop: Not Dropped

Guardian Deity: T,T,U,U

Permanent: Nobody

Weapon Embed: Yes

8/13/2019 Suikoden I1Rune

28/30

Description: The Magic Drain Rune works on a percentage

of chance. As far as I know, it's never been fully

explained what that percentage of chance is, but if

successful, it has a chance of restoring one level 1 Spell

for every physical hit you make in battle.

Poison Rune

-----------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: Banner Pass, Two River Sewers

Attached To: Killey, Shilo

Monster Drop: Pest Rat

Guardian Deity: T,D,R,U

Permanent: Nobody

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: The Poison Rune is a rune which lets your

weapon attacks inflict the status upon an enemy with

a 40% chance of success. I didn't find the rune that

helpful, but it can be sold if nothing else for some

extra potch.

Silence Rune

------------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: Highland Camp (Provision Mission)

Attached To: No one

Monster Drop: Highland Garrison Recon Troops

Guardian Deity: T,D,T,U

Permanent: Nobody

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: This rune has a small chance of inflicting

silence upon your enemies with each successful hit. I'm

pretty sure that it equals out to about a 20% chance of

it happening, but it's there for use regardless.

Sleep Rune

----------

Where Sold: Rockaxe

Where Found: Rockaxe, Guardian Deity

Attached To: Karen, Lorelai

Monster Drop: Not Dropped

Guardian Deity: T,U,R,U

Permanent: Nobody

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: The sleep rune is fairly simple to explain.Much like the silence rune, it offers whoever puts it

into their weapon, a 20% chance of inflicting sleep unto

their enemies with each successful strike in battle.

Solitude Rune

-------------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: Gameshark Coding

Attached To: No one

8/13/2019 Suikoden I1Rune

29/30

Monster Drop: Not Dropped

Guardian Deity: No Deity

Permanent: Nobody

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: This rune is only available by way of a

Gameshark coding device. It allows you to hack the rune

into your character, and basically it allows you to gain

more power in your attack as soon as you reduce your

party down by several characters. Meaning, say you take

only Riou and Nanami out for battle or a mission. If

you have this ruin sharked, your attacks will start to

noticably rise until you replace empty party slots.

Technique Rune

--------------

Where Sold: Not Sold

Where Found: Kyaro Area, Merc. Fort Area

Attached To: Hoi (Permanent)

Monster Drop: Cut Rabbit enemies (Kyaro, Merc. Fort)

Guardian Deity: T,D,U,UPermanent: Hoi

Weapon Embed: Yes

Description: The Technique Rune allows you to have a

40% chance of stealing potch from an enemy after you

have made a successful physical attack. Combine this

with a prosperity rune, and it equals out to quite

a large amount of potch being stolen at one throw.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Combo Magic

8/13/2019 Suikoden I1Rune

30/30

List of possible combinations:

Fire\Rage + Earth\Mother Earth Rune = Scorched Earth

(1300 damage on all enemies) - nice high-destructive mass

spell.

Fire\Rage + Lightning\Thunder = Blazing Camp

(2000 damage to one enemy, 1500 damage to all other enemies)

- most powerful spell in whole Suikoden 2! Great for battle

with Beast Rune.

Water\Flowing + Wind\Cyclone = Water Dragon

(800 damage on all enemies, fully heals all allies) -

excellent all-purpose spell, although Shining Wind is more

practical.

Water\Flowing + Lightning\Thunder = Thor (2000 damage to one enemy,

fully heals all allies) - essentially, this is Fogiver Sign.

Wind\Cyclone + Earth\Mother Earth Rune = Storm Fang

(1000 damage on all enemies) - crappy spell in my opinion.Not much difference from Final Flame at the cost of two LV4 MP

- not good at all.
