Basic Information

Area

Gaien Ship

Type

Fixed

The Gaien Soldier (ガイエン兵, Gaien-hei) is an enemy in Suikoden IV. They are only encountered a handful of times in the game.

Information

One Gaien Soldier was a fully-fledged Knight of Gaien assigned to the Gaien Ship for an escort mission to Iluya Island. Such knights are better equipped than trainees and their swords usually have some rune attached.

Such knights are usually busy with their assigned duties but this one was able to make time for training during the journey and would spar with the hero and Snowe if requested.

Two Gaien Soldiers would accompany Lord Vingerhut when he tried to reassert control of Razril following its liberation by the Allied Forces. These soldiers were easily dispatched and quickly left with Lord Vingerhut.

Trivia

• I'm pretty sure the Regaining Razril naval battle variant of this enemy cannot be encountered as the Gaien Ship always defects to your army on turn two. Though it might be possible to avert this or engage the ship on turn one somehow.
