Secrets

Getting Domingo

In Manarina , go to the lab. See that weird-looking thing there with big teeth and long arms on the screenshot? Search it! There you will find Domingo Egg. And then to hatch the Domingo egg, you need to wait until you arrive at Poa (revisited) after you defeat Elliot in the field battle. Talk to the merchat that Max is next to. He will put the Domingo Egg on something warm to hatch out Domingo! He's one of my favorite characters in the game. Domingo is the only flying character that can use magic. He kicks butt! If you train him right, he can become the character with the most HP, most MP, and best defense!

Getting Kokochi

In Bustoke , speak to Kokochi in that room shown in the screenshot. He will show you his invention, which will end in a crash. Later in the game, his flying machine is repaired and he'll join you. When Poa (the moving town) leaves in the next chapter, Kokochi will fly down and join the Shining Force. Surprisingly, after properly leaving up Kokochi, he can become one of your strongest characters!

Getting sexy clothing for Tao and Anri

When you complete the first battle of Chapter 3 in Bustoke Quarry , you will be allowed to walk freely on the map. You'll see an entrance to a cave. Enter the cave to find the Lunar Dew for Zylo. Search the walls of the cave and you'll find the “Sugoi Mizugi”, which is a bikini swim suit for Tao. Put it in her inventory; the next time you see Tao battle, you'll see her wearing the sexy new outfit.

During the Lazer Eye battle in Chapter 3 , search the spot next to the three Dark Elves. There you will find the “Kitui Huku” dress for Anri. Put it in your inventory and check out her new look next time she battles. Note that this item can only be obtained during battle. The game doesn't give you the opportunity to freely walk around after you defeat Laser Eye.

Unfortunately, these sexy new clothes don't change the way they look in the animated battle sequences. They only change the way they look on the battlefield.

Getting Jogurt

When you're in Pao for the first time, visit the priest's home. If you stand near the priest, you will spot Yogurt against the foot of the mountain. He wakes up from his nap going crazy (as seen in the animated gif up there) and making weird whistling sounds. When this happens, he automatically joins the Shining Force. The game won't present you with the usual “This character joined” prompt.

Jogurt is a joke character. If you manage to make him gain a level, he gets the Yogurt Ring. All that this item does is make whoever has it look like Jogurt. Aside from that, Jogurt is a useless character.

Getting Musashi

When you're in Prompt , search the note shown on the screenshot. It's pinned to a house in Prompt. You read that Musashi, a samurai, will help you fight against evil.

This note is available to read after you've been imprisoned. Musashi will automatically join your army after reading the note. If you try to read the note before you're imprisoned, nothing will be there. As a secret character, Musashi is one of the most strongest characters in the game!

Getting Hanzou

Near the town entrance in Runefaust , you will notice a bush with flowers. Search the bushes and you will find Hanzou. This ninja is the last hidden character in the game. As a secret character, Hanzou is one of the strongest characters in the game! His defense is weaker than that of Musashi. He makes up for the lack of defense by having a nice selection of spells (or rather, ninjutsu). Personally, I normally don't recruit Hanzou since he joins you too far towards the end of the game. At this point, only five battles remain.
