Guides - Sue and Bernie Subplots - Soul Eater



The Sue and Bernie Subplots

At the end of Dr Osto's Research you will get an option of telling Sue your name when she asks. Whether you tell Sue your name or not will result in two different subplots.

If you choose to not tell Sue your name, do the Bernie subplot to get the Soul Eater.

Telling Sue your name will get you the Sue subplot. Complete the Sue subplot to have Kireek appear and accompany you in the Control Tower in the online quest: Seat of the heart. Remember to follow the directions for Sue Subplot (Ragol Ring).

Sue Subplot/If you told Sue your name (non Ragol Ring)
  1. Unsealed Door:
    Talk to Sue again in the first part of Mines 2. Find Bernie in the same quest further into Mines 2. He should show up on your map. Talk to him, and tell him about sure. He will then warn you about sue. Beat this quest.
  2. Waterfall Tears:
    After beating Unsealed Door again, you will find Bernie in this quest. Talk to him. Beat this quest.
  3. Black Paper:
    After beating Waterfall Tears, you will find Bernie in this quest again in Cave 1. Talk to him. He's in a different place than his original position the first time you played Black paper. Look at your map to find his arrow. Beat this quest.
  4. Knowing One's Heart:
    After beating Black Paper, you will find Bernie in this quest again in Mines. Talk to him and beat this quest.
  5. Seek My Master:
    The quest will come to a sudden stop in the hall before the Great Sword Zoke room.

Because you told Bernie about Sue, you will now be able to talk to her and get more information in Waterfall Tears and Black Paper.

Sue Subplot additions for online quest: Seat of the Heart (Ragol Ring)

If you told Sue your name, doing the proper steps will get Kireek to accompany you in this quest through Control Tower. Doing so is a prerequisite in acquiring the Ragol Ring.

Steps:

  • Beat all VR Temple, Spaceship and CCA. Make sure to kill Gal Grphon. Do it all in one difficulty.
  • Beat the followng quests on the same difficulty: Battle Training, Magnitude of Metal, Claiming a Stake, Addicting Food, Lost Bride, Secret Delivery, Grave's Butler, Knowing One's Heart, Dr Ostos's Research, Unsealed Door, Waterfall Tears and Black Paper.
  • You have to tell Sue your name the first time you play Dr. Osto's Research for Kireek to show up in Seat of the heart. Tell her your name at the end of the quest.
    You cannot get Kireek in Seat of the Heart if you have opened all the quests and then re-played for the Sue sub-plot. You must meet the Sue plot requirements as you play through the quests for the first time. Almost all players that can't get rings have unlocked all the quests before doing the Sue plot.
  • In Unsealed door, find Sue in Mines 2 and talk to her. Now go back and find Bernie and talk to him
  • In Waterfall Tears, find Sue on Pioneer 2 and talk to her about Black Paper. Then find Bernie in Caves 1.
  • In Black Paper, find Sue on Pioneer 2 and talk to her. Ask her what her purpose is. Now find Bernie again in Caves 1 and talk to him.

Notes:

  • You must talk to Bernie in any quest you play that he appears in.
    If you play a quest with Bernie in it and don't talk to him until he has nothing else to say, then Kireek won't appear. The one thing most players seem to miss is Retired Hunter (he's by the warp to the principal after you finish the quest). You don't have to play this quest, but if you do you must talk to Bernie.
  • You must talk to any NPC required by the Sue plot until they disappear or repeat themselves. If you don't Kireek will not appear.
  • Remember to talk to each character until they won't talk anymore or will not say anything new to make sure to get the full storyline.

Sue and Kireek will now appear in Seat of the Heart.
