How to Beat Silver Wolf (L'Renouille)

Boss Strategy
CheckmarkTake Out the Rune and the Left Leg First
CheckmarkTake Out the Right Leg if It’s Troublesome From the Start
CheckmarkTake Out the Left Head, then the Right Head
CheckmarkHave Multiple Healers in Your Team

Take Out the Rune and the Left Leg First

Suikoden 2 - Silver Wolf Rune Target

Fighting the Silver Wolf is all about prioritizing which parts of it to take out. The Rune and the Left Leg should be your first targets as the former has the lowest HP of all the parts (3,300) and the Left Leg is capable of healing magic. You would not want a situation where you've already spent your most powerful spells, only to see the Left Leg heal the parts you took out.

Take Out the Right Leg if It’s Troublesome From the Start

Suikoden 2 - Silver Wolf Legs

The problem here, however, is the Right Leg, which can inflict various status ailments on your team such as Unbalanced. If you're not careful, you can end up with a team that's still standing, but cannot attack. If it has become troublesome to deal with, instead of focusing on the Rune and the Left Leg, try focusing on the Left and Right Legs.

Still, it would be better if you took out the Rune and Left Leg first, especially since the Rune has a powerful Unite Attack.

Take Out the Left Head, then the Right Head

Both heads are capable of casting powerful spells, but it's the Left Head that's capable of a devastating fire sword attack that damages your entire party. Take it out first, and leave the Right Head for last.

Have Multiple Healers in Your Team

Suikoden 2 - Silver Wolf Heal Party

The Silver Wolf can attack up to three times a turn, and it likes using powerful AoE spells. You'll need at least two or three powerful healers that can heal the entire party's HP with spells like Rain of Kindness or Battle Oath (or Forgiver Sign, if you have all 108 characters before this fight) to keep them alive to the end.

Have Viktor, Flik, and Valeria focus on attacking all the important parts one by one along with Clive. Use the Hero and Rina to heal the party whenever it is attacked, and make sure that all of your members have some kind of item or ability to cure status ailments.
