Former Friend: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:32, 16 December 2024

Former Friend (かつての友, Katsute no Tomo) is a naval battle that occurs in Suikoden IV. It is the sixth such battle of the game.

Information

This battle saw Snowe Vingerhut, who had surrendered to the Kooluk Empire and had been appointed head of its Anti-Pirate Task Force, sent far outside Razril waters to engage the pirate Kika, who had just agreed to an alliance with the hero and Lino En Kuldes. It would later be speculated that Cray Trading Company orchestrated the attack to try and deal a swift blow to emerging resistance in the region, as opposed to any true anti-piracy motivations.

The two forces would clash near the Nest of Pirates. Before the overwhelming force of the newly dispatched Headquarters Ship and the Grishend, famed throughout the Island Nations, the Task Force was swiftly overwhelmed and forced to retreat to Razril.

Snowe's ship would then be driven from Razril after being attacked by fire arrows from citizens furious at Snowe's surrender and collaboration in the Kooluk occupation. Forced back to the sea, Snowe would swiftly be captured by the crew of the Headquarters Ship, only to refuse their overtures and be released.
