Guardian Deity statue

The Guardian Deity statue (守護神像, Shugoshin-zō) is a sculpture that appears in Suikoden II. By selecting plans for the four segments of the Guardian Deity, items can be awarded to the player.

Information
"I'm thinking about sculpting a 'Guardian Deity' for this castle. Right now I'm looking for blueprints."

- Jude

This guardian deity was built in the main hallway on the ground floor of New State Army Headquarters during the Dunan Unification War. It was created by the sculptor Jude based on a series of exclusive blueprints provided to him by the hero.

When completed, the New State Army held a ceremony to celebrate its completion. The Guardian Deity spirit awoke and gave an item to the hero as a sign of its blessing.

Rewards
The form the player's Guardian Deity statue takes depends on which blueprints the player selects. There are four different categories (Head, Body, Legs, and Tail) and four different blueprints for each area (Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, and Rabbit). There are 256 potential combinations (4 x 4 x 4 x 4).

Players can only obtain one of the rewards listed from their initial Guardian Deity Statue. Changing the plans later will not yield additional items. Some combinations of plans yield the same items as other combinations.

The Prosperity Rune and Fortune Rune are the only unique rewards from the Guardian Deity statue. Plans Rabbit, Turtle, Rabbit, Turtle as Head, Body, Legs, and Tail respectively will award the player with both these runes.

The Phero Rune can only be attained prior to defeating the final boss by using the statue also. It is available in Sajah Village afterwards.
