Opal can be obtained by defeating Nightmares in Suikoden 1 HD Remaster. Learn where to get an Opal and how to use it in this guide!
List of Contents
Nightmares have a chance to drop an Opal after defeating them. Nightmares can be found inside the Soniere Prison or in Scarleticia Castle.
Nightmare Location and Item Drops
The Opal drops from Nightmares as a distinct item used only for recruiting Esmeralda. It is not an antique, and does not need to be appraised at an Appraisal Shop.
If you receive ??? items from fighting Nightmares in Soniere Prison, these are not Opals. Keep fighting until you receive an Opal directly.
Esmeralda can be found at the second floor of the inn in Antei, and will ask you for an Opal before joining the Liberation Army.
How to Recruit Esmeralda in Antei
Though Esmeralda asks you for an Opal as her recruitment condition, and the item the Nightmares drop is an Opal, upon recruiting her she calls the item an ”Opal Ring”.
This may simply be a typographical error in the script. In any case, any Opal dropped by Nightmares will qualify to recruit Esmeralda.
