|About this Guide |
|-----------------|

    This is (obviously) a guide to the neutral encounters in Ogre Battle
64. If you're reading this, you probably know what Ogre Battle 64 is, and
how to play it, so I won't explain that (unless otherwise convinced). The
purpose of this guide is to inform people all about neutral encounters. I'll
try to complete it as soon as possible, and I'd appreciate if no one e-mails
me about areas I haven't already explored. I'll try to keep it as
spoiler-free as possible, which shouldn't be too hard. But I'm warning you
now.
    What should be in the next update? Well...
Organize the items and encounters sections

|What's a Neutral Encounter? |
|----------------------------|

A neutral encounter is an encounter with a character you can possibly
recruit. While wandering around on the Mission Map, occasionally one of your
moving characters exclaims something to the effect of "A [insert character]
encountered !?" The screen then changes to battle mode, where the neutral
character appears. You can then interrupt the battle by pushing the
interrupt button (X), and select 'Talk'. Now, one of three things can
happen. One, the character will join your group. Two, the character will not
be persuaded and get a free hit. Or three, the character will flee. As David
brought to my attention, to have the greatest chance of recruiting a large
character, let your unit hit
it a few times. To have the greatest chance of recruiting a small character,
try to persuade it without hitting it at all. But be warned, if you kill the
neutral character, or all your characters use all their moves, you won't
recruit the character. But you will get an item.

Neutral encounters are randomly initiated while on the map, although the
chances of them happening are greater when you are revisiting the area.
Neutral encounters don't happen to units that are at strongholds, camping,
or aren't moving. Your unit has to be heading towards a destination for them
to occur. You can only get in neutral encounters with non-human classes
(demi-human, beast, golem, etc). Remember, you CAN'T use your Elem-Pedras in
neutral encounters.

|Neutral Encounters |
|-------------------|

Note: Mature Dragon means any one of the six second stage dragons (Blue,
Black, Earth, Thunder, Platinum, Red). Undead means Skeletons and Ghosts.
Note2: Hawkmen, Ravens, and Vultans can be found on the highways of every
level. Their level is based on the level of the other encounters there.
