108 Stars of Destiny (Suikoden) - The Bonus For Recruiting All 108 Stars of Destiny

The Bonus For Recruiting All 108 Stars of Destiny

In each of the games, recruiting all 108 Stars of Destiny has positive effects on the ending of the game which allows for the following certain abilities to be used in the story. Evidently, there is something special about the 108 Stars of Destiny, as their gathering brings forth a miracle strong enough to change the course of destiny (a recurring theme in the Suikoden series).

• In Suikoden, using the combined will of the other 107 Stars of Destiny, Leknaat revives Gremio, Tir McDohl's best friend and bodyguard, after he is killed earlier in the game.
• In Suikoden II, the combined will of the 108 Stars of Destiny unlocks the fourth spell of the Bright Shield Rune, the Forgiver Sign. This will allow the Rune of Beginning to heal Jowy Atriedes, saving him from death. Nanami, who was thought dead, will also reveal herself to be alive if all 108 Stars are found.
• In Suikoden III, gathering all the Stars unlocks the antagonists' point of view and their attempt to change the course of destiny.
• In Suikoden IV, it is by their power that the Rune of Punishment ended its atonement phase and moved into its forgiveness phase.
• In Suikoden V, the will of the 108 Stars allows the Sun Rune to change from destructive to nurturing and brings Lyon back from death.
• In Suikoden Tierkreis usually referred to as the 'Starbearers' (though called the 108 Stars of Destiny towards the end of the game). Finding all 108 Stars unlocks an extra ending cutscene.
