How to Save Pahn in Suikoden 1 HD

by

Overcoming General Teo when playing as Pahn is quite challenging in the game Suikoden. This is particularly difficult if you’re not expecting it and haven’t adequately prepared Pahn beforehand. If you can’t defeat Teo, unfortunately, Pahn will perish and you’ll lose a Star of Destiny forever. This loss will also prevent you from reaching the true ending in the game.

To conquer General Teo in Suikoden, it’s crucial to master recognizing his moves and reacting with well-timed counters. It’s also essential to boost Pahn’s experience points and equip him with the finest armor available at this stage of the game. Furthermore, enhancing his weapon to its maximum level (level 12) will help ensure he deals a substantial amount of damage during the battle.

How to Prepare for the Duel with General Teo in Suikoden 1

To ensure you’re fully prepared for a battle against General Teo as Pahn, aim to maximize his level, arm him with the most advanced armor and accessories available, and upgrade his weapon to its highest potential.

For a better understanding, aim to advance Pahn up to level 30 at least. Given your progress so far, this shouldn’t be overly challenging, though if you’re facing difficulties, try placing Pahn in a party with only a few other characters for him to gain more experience quickly. You can do this by battling enemies in locations such as Scarleticia Castle or Soniere Prison, which offer favorable results. Opting for Soniere Prison will also give you an opportunity to discover the Opal necessary to recruit another character.

Regarding Pahn’s attire, he needs to don Ninja-like garments, a headpiece, and two protective rings as accessories. You can acquire these items at the Armor Shop in Antei, or if you’ve previously visited the Armor Shop in Antei, you can get them from your Castle’s shop too. Once Pahn is armed and leveled up, it would be best not to focus on enhancing his weapon any further. At this point in the story, you should be able to upgrade his weapon to level 12 using the blacksmiths available (Visit Teian and consult the blacksmith there). This enhancement will greatly benefit him.

How to Read General Teo’s Attacks in Suikoden 1

Teo McDohl is a tough adversary, particularly at this stage of the game, but luckily, he shares a common flaw with all other duel opponents: Predictable Attack patterns. By understanding his cues before each round begins, you can consistently anticipate his moves, and respond effectively.

Here’s a breakdown of all his quotes and the actions associated with them:

Attack Defend Special
Is that all you’ve got? Now it’s my turn! This next one will not get past me! I shall finish this with one strike!
Now it’s my turn. It seems you are not to be underestimated… Impossible… Take this then!
Saw through my attack, did you? Impressive, Pahn, seeing through my attack like that. I must be more cautious. You have shown me your techniques… Now, I shall show you mine!
Impressive, Pahn. What’s the matter, Pahn? Going to come at me again? My most powerful technique…
Forever on the Defensive, Pahn? I shall not hold back! It seems I lost my cool. I must be more careful. Let us see if you can read my attack, Pahn.
My Sword is still as sharp as ever! Come at me, Pahn. This one will hit its mark!
This feeling in my hands… This is true combat! Very wise, Pahn.

Utilizing this table, you can strategize your actions. When he chooses Defense, go for an Attack; when he opts for an Attack, employ Special abilities; and when he activates his Special, opt for Defense. Additionally, the stat boosts from Pahn’s weapon, gear, and level will help you defeat General Teo effectively.

Defeating General Teo ensures Pahn’s survival within the Liberation Army, an essential aspect if you aim to uncover the game’s genuine ending. Alternatively, keeping Pahn as a party member appeals to many players.
