How to Beat Mist Shade (North Sparrow Pass)

Boss Strategy



Equip Medicine on Everyone

While Mist Shade is not particularly difficult, it's better to be safe than sorry. It's recommended that each member in the party have a Medicine equipped so that you can heal characters that have sustained too much damage.

Use Fire Attacks

Suikoden 2 - Fire Attacks

The Mist Shade is weak against Fire, so take advantage of Bolgan's Fire Breath Rune and Rina's Fire Rune to deal more damage.

You can also use consumable Rune scrolls like Fire Arrow to deal even more damage.

Perform Circus Attack

Suikoden 2 - Circus Attack

Since the Mist Shade is weak to Fire, you can use Rina, Bolgan, and Eilie's Circus Attack to deal double fire damage. However, be mindful that Bolgan will become unbalanced after attacking, so plan your turns carefully.

Beware of Party-Wide Damage

Suikoden 2 - Party Wide Mist Shade Attack

In Mist Shade's female form, it has an attack that can hit all party members. While the damage isn't high, Rina's low HP pool may prove to be an issue and may be in danger after tanking this attack. Be prepared to heal the party in case you take too much damage.
