The Shining Force: Randolf

Name: Randolf
Japanese: Dongo (translated: Dongo)
Race: Dwarf
Class: Warrior (WARR)
Promotion: Gladiator (GLDT) / Baron (BRN)

After you’ve spoken to Creed and Evil Spirit, you can choose one of 4 characters to aid you in your quest. Randolf the Warrior is one of these, he was also the leader of the people on Floor World. If you don’t pick him, you can recruit him later by going back to Creed’s mansion after Frayja has opened the gate at Moun. His promotion item is the Warrior Pride.

While Karna is usually considered the best to choose of the four, Randolf should not be underestimated, he is a strong warrior and a valuable asset to your Force. If promoted to Baron (using the Warrior Pride) he gains +1 to his movement.

Randolf’s Headquarters Quote:
“I’m face any devil, any time! Bring ’em on!”

Statistics & Growth

The graphs below show the growth rate of Randolf’s statistics throughout the game, starting at level 1 (level 1 stats are based on growth rate if the character joined at any other level). These are adapted from the ASCII/Famitsu Shining Force II Guide Book, and so should be pretty accurate! However, please note that the charts are based on a standard game, in which no extra training is given to any characters. The growth may vary with extra training, and even from game to game, due to the random level-ups.
