Suikoden 1 Recruitment Guide

A notable feature of the Suikoden series is the 108 Stars of Destiny (or 108 characters you can enlist), which players can seek out during their journey. Although many characters will join you organically throughout the adventure, uncovering all of them is essential for achieving the game’s optimal endings. This guide will help you locate each character and bring them into your alliance.
