Over Leveling

[SivartStoneheart]

Over Leveling is very hard in this game but I keep searching for spots(or maybe gimmick).

-Bounty Hill next to the guard(blocking you from high level monsters)

What are some other spots you guys use to over level?

Suikoden is not a game series where you overlevel. Unless you can somehow clip out of bounds and fight enemies way above your level and also manage to win.

The system is designed both so that you can catch your levels up quickly (to make it easier to change parties when there are so many characters) and so that you can't overlevel by much.

I just gained 14 levels. Lets go see what the next boss is like. And we are talking about Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

But you had to over level Pahn if you wanted to get all 108 stars. Old JRPGs used to allow you to go to high level areas or special areas which had high level monsters to gain extra levels. The boss talks ♥♥♥♥ and you one shot him. The power fantasy continues.

This was, and still is, my bare minimum for any game I play. I want to feel powerful. I want bosses to think they are all this, that, and a bag of chips, until I pimp hand them into the ground

Not overleveling perse (seeing as you only bugger yourself out of getting exp rewards from the encounters you'll get in following dungeons) BUT

Dappled Forest (same method as bounty hill; stand close to the guard when triggering an encounter)

here's some weird ones you may or may not count though...

Seaside cavern near Hishan... you don't need to go there when you first reach the hishan continent but man is the exp tasty AND you can get some nice drops too (especially if you picked up the lucky badge)
Old town Hishan.... You'll need to go there for the story but you can go there as soon as you hit the continent. Not AS great as the seaside cavern as the monsters are a bit more tanky AND fast to boot but it IS a great place to farm for pocket money

So it is pretty late Into the game but once you unlock the secret room in the bottom floor of your castle, you can use a setup with heroes challenge where you have all but one of your party members die and barely kill the first batch of 6 mobs, and shoot strait up to anywhere from 70 to 99 depending on how many party members survive, I just gained 30 levels on two different characters this way, but I would assume that if either had died and only one survived I would've just hit 99 based on how exp spreads out. (My team was level 40ish at the time) I'll be further testing this and we shall see if I can make a concrete setup

after bounty hill unlock arena do the first floor and get to level 60, then you'll be overleveled to finish the game (even on hard) without any difficulty (and with arena you get mage and warrior runes which are the most powerful runes in the game)
