This glitch involves some simple calculations,use the following example as a guide to see how it is done. Equipone character with Dragon Armor (23,000 potch), and make surethat at least two other characters have no armor equipped, butcan wear Draqon Armor. You should also have 23,000 to 30,000 potch.Talk to the armorer, go to buy, then choose to purchase DragonArmor. When prompted to place it in the bag or to equip it, chooseto equip it on the character already wearing Dragon Armor. Whenprompted to sell the old armor or put it in the bag, cancel theaction. You should still be in buying mode for the armor. Simplypurchase the two armorless characters Dragon Armor. The potchmeter will reset to somewhere around 999,999.

Hint: McDohl appearance:
McDohl, the Hero from Suikoden, appears in thegame if you have collected all 108 characters from the first Suikoden.Load your previous Suikoden game data when prompted afterstarting a game. Play through the game until you have gone overto Gregminster and have met their leader. Then, go to Banner Villageand talk to Ko, the boy who is dressed similarly to you. After,go over to the east side of Banner where the dock is located.There will be a man, Gremio, blocking your path (if not him, itwill be Ellie). Return to Ko, and he will help you get past theman. That should lead to McDohl. McDohl and Viktor, like others,will make their second appearance in the series.
Hint: Go to Mitilda early:

Hint: Before fighting Beast Rune:
At the end of the game before you fight the Beast Rune,go to the place of Sworn Reunion between you and Jowy. You willsee him one more time. Note: Go prepared to fight.
Hint: Defeating Luca:
Just before you fight Luca, equip the characters (eighteento be exact) that you will bring to the battle with two SacrificialJizos. (bought at Alex's store at the castle), the best armor(from Hans at the castle), and Runes (from Jeane at the castle)for those who do not have any.
Hint: Ted's picture:
Go to the capital of the first Suikoden and enter thehouse where the hero began. Go into the main character's room.You will see a picture of Ted, the main character's best friend.
Glitch: McDohl misspelling:
To get McDohl in your party, you do not need all 108characters from the first game. However, when you get him dueto a text parsing error in the game, the first letter in McDohlwill be the first letter of his name in the first game (for instance,my character was named Daros, so in the second game, his nameis DcDohl). This has nothing to do with the number of characters.
When you load your saved data and see Mcdohl, he will not be calledMcdohl due to a glitch in the name. For example, if you namedhim Jim the name will appear as Jcdohl. The game will take thecapital letters in his name from the first game you uploaded andoverwrite the Mcdohl entry. So, if you had JIM, his name wouldbe JIMohl.
To resolve this error with the spelling, have your name in theoriginal Suikoden something that starts with "M",such as Max or Matthew.
If you name McDohl anything you wish in all capital letters, andhave it six letters, the name will carry over. If you name themain character in the second game the same name, Gremio will makea reference to how strange it is that both of the main charactershave the same name.
Glitch: Door:
When you go to the gate that leads to Matilda, justpush up on the door to make it slide back. It is exactly the sameas with people and boxes. When you go in, you can get to level30 or higher early in the game -- just as long as you are strongenough to defeat the monsters. Do not recruit the people in thevillage, because it will glitch the game and require that youfight a very difficult Boss to get them in your group permanently.
An easy way to level up at the Matilda area is kill off everyenemy except one. Then, kill off everyone in your group exceptHumphrey and the character that is leveling up. Try doing thisin a group of six Phantoms.
Recruiting Futch and Humphrey using the door trick will not glitchthe game. You can even get them as soon as you return to Mercenary'sFortress from Kyaro.
Glitch: Easy level up:
As soon as the Hero and Jowy gets their runes, go toMuse-Matilda gate. You can push away the door and enter an areayou are not supposed to at this point of the game. Try to getto Highway village without getting into random battles, as youwill probably get killed at your current level. At this point,recruiting Futch and Humphrey will not glitch the game -- youcan even complete their sub-quest. Get them in your party, usethem to reach at least level 35, and buy some good equipment atMatilda's castle. You can then go to Mt. Rakutei to save Kent.The Boss there will be very easy, as Jowy should have very powerfulspells for the Black Sword rune, as well as for the Hero and theBright Shield. Once you have saved the boy, you can use Futchand Humphrey as permanent members.
Glitch: Push people:
Use the following trick to get someone out of the waywhen a path is blocked. Walk up to someone and keep walking. Inabout three seconds the Hero moves into a pushing form and startsto push. This only works on people that walk around freely. Itdoes not work on people who are standing there, waiting for youto enter the room (when a conversation automatically happens),for example when a battle is about to happen and Shu is waitingfor you in the hall.
