How to Beat Harpy (Rakutei Mountain)

Boss Strategy


Heal the Party Often

Suikoden 2 - Harpy Great Blessing

The Harpy has two strong party-wide attacks. Make sure you sustain the party with Medicine and healing skills like the Hero's Great Blessing and Battle Oath.

Defend Against AoE Attacks

Suikoden 2 - Harpy Protection Mist

You can defend against the Harpy's attacks with the Water Rune and Earth Rune. Their defensive spells, Protection Mist and Canopy Defense, respectively, can repel magic attacks.

Watch Out for Unbalance

The Harpy's single-target attack causes Unbalance. If a healer gets affected by this, they will not be able to heal. Put any healer and support characters in the back line.
