How to Beat Bonaparte (Ryube Forest)

Boss Strategy


Equip Healing Items on Everyone

While Bonaparte isn’t a particularly challenging boss, it’s still wise to have each party member carry healing items like Medicine. This ensures that you can heal characters that have sustained too much damage.

Use Fire Attacks

Bonaparte is weak against Fire, so use Fire-based attacks and scrolls like to deal more damage. With Millie in your party, you can make use of her high Fire affinity by equipping her with the right Rune for even greater effectiveness.

Best Runes

Perform Family Attack with Nanami

Suikoden 2 - Bonaparte Family Attack

Perform the Family Attack with Nanami to deal double damage to Bonaparte. While Nanami will be unable to move afterward, you can follow up with a normal attack, adding extra damage.
