Eike Theory.......*Spoilers*

[Jorge Prima]

He is a very scary charater in suikoden III. A lot of people wonder how he got in the last floor without an Elvator. I have a simple explaination how he got there. Eike is a zoombie!

Just look at the clues he sleeps with one eye open while he talks in his sleep in a "starnge language"(according to kidd), he's very starnge for a libarian and just look at him he looks like a zoombie! Doesn't it just make since that he used his zoombie powers to dig underground and read?


If you can remember in suikoden I there was a zoombie who seemed to have a will of his own in Neclord's castle. It is even possible that zoombie is Eike. Maybe he since somehow he had his own will power he escaped when Neclord "died". He had to go somewhere close and he went to the Olan temple where he meet Hugo(S1) and thought "Hey this is what I want to do"

He probably knew that Necolord wasn't dead, so he escaped to the grassland thus finding a nice ugly castle just like the one he used to live in. That's probably why he likes the last floor so much.


Now, I know your just waiting to tell me how worng I am and what a stupid theory this is. I know my theory is kind of out there. But Think, really just think....

Okay, done thinking? Let the flamming begin.... :(

That was humerous to read and you have made a lot of plausible connections, but I doubt Konami will ever do anything else to explain the guy. It just doesn't seem to matter that much. He might be a zombie, but that wouldn't really mean much unless they brought him back.

I'm thinking that the elevator shaft might have been used to get down there, or maybe there's another enterance to the bottom floor.

Eike will never be explained. He was put into the game to add a little comic relief. Of course it is all unintentional on his part, and he is genuinely creepy to the other characters in the game. We'll never get any explanation for his odd mannerisms and behavior.

It's funny, Georg, but I thought the same thing first time through the game. I was convinced that Eike was undead.

I always assumed that he was a ghost of some kind. Phasing through walls would allow him to get to that secret level very easily. He was also on the roof at night one time and there is no apparent way to get there either. As a zombie I could understand him going under ground but going up just seems like a bad choice for something with mass that can fall. He also seems to be familiar with Geddoe and was probably around during the first fire bringer war. He just seemed so ghostly to me.

Zombies in Suikoden are blueish purple, though, aren't they? All the enemy zombies (or "zoombies" - hee, fast acting zombies?) are in Suikoden I and II, I think. (FINALLY, the portion of the games with NEclord is actually good for something. :o)

...When did Eike get on the roof? *doesn't remember that*

*cough* I liked Eike as a character. Yes, he has all the social skills of a rock, but he loves books, and how can argue with a man who knows "books...are friends for life"? ;)

...I think there's probably a whole bunch of secret passageways in Budehuc castle. I figure he just walked down one one day and found it, and kept going down there for when he desired peace and quiet.

There must be some way to get there for most people; doesn't Eike start a silent book club down there at the end of the game?

The zombie color continuity could've been lost in III, though. I mean, they started spelling "Sindar" differently. >.> Though that was probably just a translation error.

Still. :lol:

Yeah, Eike said he recognized his name from a document. And I think he said there was a picture in the book of Geddoe too?

I don't remember him going to the roof either. I don't even think you can go to the roof. But I'm sure Eike does makes it up there somehow! So he can be alone with the voices in his head. Er, I mean his books.
