Land Shell

Basic Information

Area

Sea outside Middleport (late game)

Type

Normal

The Land Shell (大陸貝, Tairikukai) is an enemy in Suikoden IV. It is fought alongside four tentacles.

Information

This giant monster earned its name as those who saw it compared it to the size of a continent. This creature was rarely encountered but seemed to hide in the waters near Middleport.

Extremely powerful, the Land Shell could attack anyone on deck with its tentacles and by spraying ink. It would also ram the ship with its body, shaking the entire vessel violently. No mean feat, considering the size of the Headquarters Ship itself. This foe was also immune to all manner of status affecting magics.

Due to its size and relative distance from the ship, short ranged fighters cannot engage the Land Shell. Instead, ranged fighters and magicians are recommended for this encounter. In battle, removing its tentacles is imperative so as to remove the powerful fire attack from its arsenal.
