One has fallen clinging to his fate. One has fallen leaving the fate of the future to his companions. History is riddled with the waves of destruction and rebirth. These waves roll onward far into the future. Much has been destroyed. Many have perished." And so a new chapter opens in the Onimusha series! Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams takes place several years after Nobunaga's demise at the hands of Samanosuke Akechi. Nobunaga's retainer, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, is now gathering cherry trees that he is blossoming from around the land for some unknown purpose with the help of Mitsunari Ishida. Soki, known as the "Oni of the Ash" and also the "Black Oni", travels throughout Japan to stop Hideyoshi and burn his cherry trees every time that he comes across one, but why? What significance do these strange cherry trees hold? While on his journey, Soki will meet with allies who share a struggle of their own that will ultimately involve him. Soki will learn, through his companions, that he has the ability to control a most terrifying power that will help him and his friends greatly in their journey, but will his immediate struggles stand in the way of that which could help him achieve victory? The saga of the Black Oni now begins. This guide will give you a full walkthrough for the main game, revealing every item, puzzle box solution, along with boss strategies. Check the Basics section for a full list of all the characters moves, special attacks, and Oni Awakening powers. In the List section I have layed out all the weapons and items found in the game and be sure to check out the Enemies section for every enemy along with their respective attacks and item drops. As in my other walkthroughs, I have stayed away from anything dealing with the plot, but if you consider boss names a spoiler, then tread carefully. Please enjoy this FAQ and give me an email if you have any questions, comments, or if you find anything that I missed. Any comments, suggestions, questions, etc. are always welcome. Email me at berserker_kev@yahoo.com. Also, if you find any errors in this FAQ (I don't care how little of an error), then please email me about it. Update and Thanks: I would like to thank all the readers that emailed me thus far. I have received over 300 emails so far from the Onimusha community and have enjoyed hearing the thoughts of Onimusha diehards! Thanks to everyone that emailed me and to those that offered their help. This is definitely a FAQ to remember for me! ___________ _________ Section II \_________________________________________________________/ [BSCS00] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ___ _ __ _____ ___ __ / __\ /_\ / _\ \_ \/ __\/ _\ /__\// //_\\ \ \ / /\/ / \ \ / \/ \/ _ \_\ \/\/ /_/ /___ _\ \ \_____/\_/ \_/\__/\____/\____/ \__/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============ = Controls = ============ -- Default Control Setup X: Absorb Souls Square ([]): Attack Triangle (/\): Magic Attack Circle (O): Examine/Kick (While holding R1) L1: Guard L2: Switch Characters R1: Target Lock-on/Strafe R2: Special Attack (Secret Technique) L3 + R3: Oni Awakening Left Analog: Move Character Right Analog: Move Camera Start: Pause Select: Brings up Area Map if Acquired -- Partner Orders D-pad Up: All-out Attack D-pad Left: Special Order (Exclusive to each character) D-pad Right: Follow and Attack D-pad Down: Wait and Recover ===================== = Character Actions = ===================== == == == * Soki * == == == Weapon Variety (Broadsword) --------------------------- -- 5-hit combo ([], [], [], [], []) Soki's quickest weapon variety that combines good recovery with fast swings. The only downside is that the final swing leaves Soki open to attack. -- 4-hit combo ([], [], [], []) The most well rounded of Soki's weapon varieties. The swings cover a large area in front of Soki and have good range per swing. -- 3-hit combo ([], [], []) The most powerful of Soki's weapon varieties, which yields great damage upon his enemies at the cost of a hefty recovery time between swings. The last hit of the 3-hit combo will hit multiple times and Soki cannot be knocked out of the last strike, but will still take damage.

Special Attack - Sword of Purification -------------------------------------- -- Coil (R2) Soki's purifying sword will spin around him and hit any enemies near him. -- Stab (Forward + R2) Soki throws the purfying sword at whatever is directly in front of him. The range is much greater than the other two purifying moves. -- Flight (Back + R2) Soki will spin the purifying sword in front of him just a bit before stabbing it into the ground in front of him. This is mainly for hitting a grounded enemy. Oni Awakening - Onimusha Transformation --------------------------------------- While Soki is transformed, every attack that he inflicts upon the enemy will draw out souls and he will automatically absorb the souls. -- Oni Cutter (/\) The Oni Cutter will take the place of the usual Oni Magic while Soki is transformed. This uppercut attack will hit multiple times. **** Exclusive Partner Special Order - Absorb Souls (D-pad left while controlling another character) Soki will stand and absorb all souls from around the area. = == == = * Jubei * = == == = Weapon Variety (Katana) ----------------------- -- 6-hit Combo ([], [], [], [], [], []) Jubei will slash the blade horizontally in front of her five times then will end with a spinning horizontal strike. -- 5-hit Combo ([], [], [], [], []) Jubei will slash the blade horizontally in front of her four times then end the combination with a jumping sideways slice. -- 4-hit Combo ([], [], [], []) Jubei will quickly unsheath her blade and perform three slashes then end the combination with an upward swing.

Dragon (Back, Forward + []) Jubei will unsheath her blade and quickly leap into the air while attacking with a spinning slash. This move can also be done directly after the Lift move by pressing Forward + [] afterwards. -- Finisher ([] near a grounded enemy) Jubei will plunge her sheath into the enemy and unleash a series of five standing kicks ultimately leading to a punt kick on the grounded enemy. Tap the [] button to keep the full finisher going. -- Moon Blade (Back, Forward + []) Jubei will leap backward and throw three small blades forward. -- Kick (O) Jubei will perform a standing roundhouse kick. -- Cresent ([] as a kick connects) Jubei will kick the enemy and perform an uppercutting somersault kick that will send the enemy flying into the air.

Oni Awakening - Demon Eye ------------------------- While Jubei is transformed, everybody on the screen except for her will move very slowly. -- Shadow Cast (/\) Jubei will quickly slice through the enemy while dashing then stop to sheath her sword.

Four shots can be fired at a time and she can move from side to side while shooting. -- Spread ([]) The most powerful of Ohatsu's weapons yet the range is lacking severly. This will hit a wider range of enemies when compared to the other varieties and Ohatsu will be able to move while firing. -- Slug ([]) These are grenade guns. The shots have some great power, but Ohatsu has some major recovery after each shot. She cannot fire and run with this weapon. -- Laser ([]) Combining good range with a good rate of fire, this gun is the most well balanced in Ohatsu's arsenal. Ohatsu can also move while firing with this weapon. -- Piercing ([]) The longest-range weapon of Ohatsu's arsenal and she can fire while moving. The piercing variety have just as much recovery time as the Slug if you stand still, but Ohatsu can move while firing with this type so it doesn't have to have recovery time.

Tap [] to keep spinning the spear. Special Attack - Art of Purification ------------------------------------ -- Charm (R2) Tenkai will throw a charm at the enemy that will explode and purify the enemy after a few seconds. -- Enchanted Dagger (Forward + R2) Tenkai will stab a dagger into an enemy that will make a purifying explosion and will temporarily make the enemy act as an ally. The full attack must be finished without interupption for the enemy to be charmed. This will only work on a weak enemy. -- Space Warp (Back + R2) Tenkai will stab a dagger into the ground, which will set off a purifying explosion that will damage any nearby enemies. Oni Awakening - Oni Gauntlet ---------------------------- -- Light Arrows (/\) Tenkai will dash directly into the enemy with his spear. If the enemy is a big enemy, then Tenkai will stab him and throw the enemy over his shoulder. **** Exclusive Partner Special Order - Pray (D-pad left while controlling another character) Tenkai will stand and pose while praying.

Keep tapping the [] button after doing so to have Roberto deliver a series of left and right hooks to your foe. Also, Roberto has a dash move that can be done out of any sway (left, right, up, or down). Tap the X button while swaying from a guard to perform this. -- Body Blow (Forward + []) This is Roberto's Thrust attack.

Each Exclusive Move is unlocked by upgrading the skill above it to Level 3. Once the move appears, it must be activated by using a point in order to use it. Any attack with 10 slots will only have the first 5 slots available, 5 slots will only have 3 slots available, 3 slots will only have 2 slots available until after Stage 8. Here's a look at the way the skill menu will look after Stage 8: ATTACK CRITICAL _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Attack |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| Critical |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Exclusive Move 1 |_|_|_|_|_| Chain |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Thrust |_|_|_|_|_| Deflect |_|_|_|_|_| _ _ _ _ _ Exclusive Move 2 |_|_|_|_|_| GUARD _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Lift |_|_|_|_|_| Evade |_|_|_| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Exclusive Move 3 |_|_|_|_|_| Roll |_|_|_| _ _ _ _ _ Finisher |_|_|_|_|_| ABSORB _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Exclusive Move 4 |_|_|_|_|_| Vacuum |_|_|_| _ _ _ _ _ Kick |_|_|_|_|_| _ _ _ _ _ Exclusive Move 5 |_|_|_|_|_| _ _ _ _ _ Special Attack |_|_|_|_|_| ============= = Oni Magic = ============= Press /\ to unleash an Oni Magic attack. Different weapons will have different elemental magic attacks. The different elements are Fire, Ice, Light, Dark, Wind, and Earth. Some weapons do not have an element and will not allow you to use Oni Magic. -- High Level Magic Attacks Press and hold /\ to switch to a higher level of magic. The longer you hold the button down, the more powerful the Oni Magic attack will be and the more MP it will consume. You must power up each weapon to a certain level in order to unleash the higher level magic attacks. -- Co-op Magic Attack When you have charged up to a level 3 magic attack, if you have a partner with you, an icon will appear in the upper left hand corner that will tell you to press L2 for a Co-op attack. Press L2 during this time to unleash a combination of two level 3 magic attacks based on the current weapon that each character has. The camera will automatically switch to the partner once the Co-op attack has been initiated to confirm the attack. ================= = Oni Awakening = ================= Press R3+L3 after a certain sequence that takes place after Stage 8 to perform an Oni Awakening once you have collected enough Purple Souls to charge your Overdrive Meter. While the Oni Awakening is initiated, each character will have access to a new variety of moves and abilities, their life will gradually recover, they will take more damage off enemies than usual, and they will be invincible. If a controlled character dies while the Overdrive Meter is charged up enough for an Oni Awakening then the character will automatically perform the Oni Awakening and will be revived. If a partner dies, their Oni Awakening will not activate. * If you have a Charon's Bell equipped, the Charon's Bell will bring you back to life and the Oni Awakening will not be initiated upon your death. ===================================== = Special Attack (Secret Technique) = ===================================== After the same sequence of events that enact the Oni Awakening has taken place, each character will also have access to a Special set of Attacks by using the R2 button. Special Attacks can be done by pressing either R1, Forward + R2, or Back + R2. =========================== = Critical Attack (Issen) = =========================== For Dawn of Dreams, a critical attack can be done in four ways: -- Counter (Attack before an enemy attack ([])) This is the true critical attack of the game and will reward you with the most souls and damage out of all the critical attacks. The timing for the counter will vary depending on the enemy. Sometimes you have to attack right before the enemy attack connects, and sometimes you have to attack a bit early. This type of critical attack is also known as a True Issen. -- Kick out of Guard (Kick (O) the enemy while he is guarding then attack ([])) The Kick will break the enemy's guard, allowing you to perform a critical attack while they stagger. -- Deflect (Attack right after deflecting an attack) While the enemy is staggering from the deflect (L1 right before an attack) press the attack button to perform a critical. -- Oni Magic (Use Oni Magic (/\) then attack ([]) while the enemy staggers) The Oni Magic will stun the enemy and allow you to perform a critical attack. Please note that the enemy must survive the Oni Magic hit in order to hit them with a critical attack. This cannot be done with ice elemental magic. ================== = Critical Chain = ================== From any type of critical attack, you can perform a critical chain that will allow you to slice through multiple enemies, depending on your chain level under the skill menu. Tap [] multiple times after performing a critical attack to chain the critical. =========== = Rapport = =========== This is the friendliness between Soki and his current partner. Look under the "Next LV" display under the current partner's stats in the pause menu to view that partner's current Rapport level. A higher Rapport will lead to the combining of more items, friendlier responses, and more available questions during hideout areas for each of your partners. Having a partner fight alongside Soki will raise that partner's Rapport. ____________ _________ Section III \________________________________________________________/ [WTGH00] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ __ _ __ _____ __ ___ ___ / / /\ \ \/_\ / / /\ /\/__ \/\ /\/__\ /___\/\ /\ / _ \ /\ /\ \ \/ \/ //_\\ / / / //_/ / /\/ /_/ / \// // // / \ \/ /_\// /_/ / \ /\ / _ \/ /___/ __ \ / / / __ / _ \/ \_//\ \_/ / /_\\/ __ / \/ \/\_/ \_/\____/\/ \/ \/ \/ /_/\/ \_/\___/ \___/\____/\/ /_/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the walkthrough, I have listed each stage with a backtrack section that will help you whenever you decide to go back to that specific area. It is best to backtrack to the stages when you have all of your characters together. Ohatsu will not be available for backtracking to earlier stages until after Stage 8. While viewing the puzzle solutions, please note the asterisks (*'s) are the correct stones that you should turn in that grid. /\ /\ [WTST01] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / _____ STAGE 1 ______ \ \____________________________/ Dawn of Nightmares \___________________________/ \____________________/ Plenty of Genma soldiers will ambush you in this first area. Use this chance to get used to the controls of the main character. Hold R1 to lock-on to an enemy and press [] to attack. Right now you can only do a basic four hit combo with your sword and you have two additional attacks that every weapon will share: Thrust (Forward + []) and Uppercut (Back + []). Press X to absorb souls after defeating each enemy. Unlike previous Onimusha's, the O button is now for kicking. Notice that the camera will only show a behind view of your character, tap the right analog down to zoom out and tap it upwards to zoom in. It's best to fight off as many Genma soldiers as you can to get your soul count up. They will eventually stop coming from the purple meteors. Break the pot down the alley to your right at the first turn for a MEDICINE LV.1. Continue down the main path for a cutscene. After the cutscene fight off the Genma soldiers on the rooftop until the Genma Giant destroys the building you're currently on. Soki will jump to the next building so continue your fight there. Eventually the Genma Giant will destroy the second building and Soki will be forced to leap atop another building. Three Genma Soldier elites will ambush you on the third building. They are slightly more aggressive and have more life, but fall prey to your normal sword combo pretty well. Fight them off until the Genma giant interrupts the battle in your favor. Boss - Genma Giant At the beginning of the battle Soki will transform into his Onimusha state. The Genma Giant will start the battle by burying his sword into the building you're currently on - this is the only time you can hit him for the moment. Do normal combos or use the /\ button to do a new uppercut attack (Oni form only) to take off a good chunk of his life per swing. There's no need to worry about absorbing souls at the moment since the Oni form will automatically absorb souls for you. He will eventually lift his sword out of the building and Genma soldiers will attack. Fight off the Genma soldiers until you see the Giant Genma lean his sword back to attack. Block when you see him do this to avoid taking damage from his swing. When he leans back and starts to fire his chest guns, you can avoid the gunfire by blocking. He will eventually sink his sword back into the building allowing you to hit him some more. That same sword slice can hit you so be sure to keep your distance or block. Eventually you will knock away his sword. He will launch purple meteors at you in between attack during this phase. Step to the side to avoid them. When he slams his fist into the building, run up and hit him just like before. He will still have the same horizontal swing as well, only this time without the sword. When he ducks out of site, run to the side to avoid taking damage from his double fist crush - you can't block it. This will also give you another chance to attack him. /\ /\ [WTST02] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / ___ STAGE 2 ____ \ \______________________________/ The Blue Demon \_____________________________/ \________________/ ******************************** Suruga Outpost ******************************* Boss - Danemon This battle is easy since all of the boss' attacks are blockable and slow. Many of his attacks will break your guard after blocking them however so make sure not to get surrounded by him and his minions. Genma Soldiers will try to crowd around as you fight the main boss but they are not too much of a bother because of their limited attacks. Focus on the boss since he will be constantly attacking you. The main attack you need to watch out for is his overhead flame attack since it will take off quite a bit of life. Watch for him to charge this attack then get ready to block. Attack him in between his attacks with a magic attack or normal combo. A magic attack will stun him for a bit. If you want to make this fight really quick, wait for him to strike, then press [] the moment before his attack connects to counter him and take off half of his life. It only takes two to kill him and he is very easy to counter with his slow attacks. After you take his life all the way down be on the lookout for his final sword swing that he will do if you are still next to him - just block it if you're close. HIDEOUT 1 When the battle is over you will enter the Hideout. Take this chance to power up your items with souls and power up your skills with the points you have gained from leveling up. Do all of your leveling up, saving and shopping at the Enchanted Mirror to the side. I would suggest powering up your attack first under the skills menu. When powering up your items (Sword and Armor), remember that powering up your armor will give you a greater defense (enemies won't take off as much) and powering up your sword will give you a greater rate of damage per sword swing and will give you extra bonuses when a certain level is reached per weapon. /\ /\ [WTST03] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / _____ STAGE 3 ______ \ \____________________________/ Jubei Has Arrived! \___________________________/ \____________________/ ******************************* Plains Highway ******************************** = Wrecked Road = Pick up the GRASS in the back of all the wreckage and break the pots near Minokichi to find a MEDICINE LV1. There's nothing useful up the ladder at the moment (you'll have to backtrack for the item there) so enter the door next to Minokichi. = Monster Show = Three Genma soldiers will teleport into the room and attack. Enter the door next to the Enchanted Mirror after the battle. = Wrecked Road (left) = DRUNKARD'S DIARY 1 will be on the ground to the character's right as you exit the building. Continue ahead to where Minokichi appears and grab the ONI MED LV1 from the wooden plate at the stand. Enter the door next to Minokichi. = Behind the Buildings = Soldier Genma will continually teleport into this area. Break the pots near Minokichi to find a MEDICINE LV1 and FANGS. Walk down the steps and grab the MEDICINE LV2 on the left, DRUNKARD'S DIARY 3 between the two boxes in the middle, and you will find a treasure chest with a puzzle on it to the right. For these puzzle boxes you can either solve the puzzle or break the chest and appraise the item later for a fee. If you break it, the item will remain "???" until you appraise it at a shop. PUZZLE BOX #1 - Plains Outpost - Behind the Buildings (1) ----------- (2) ----------- | * * o | | o o o | | | | | | * * o | | * * o | | | | | | o o o | | * * o | ----------- ----------- The chest contains Soki's FIRE DANCE sword. Looking at the three ladders, climb up the ladder on the far left and run across the rooftop to find a FOOTSOLDIER'S CHOKER in the chest on the front rooftop. Climb back down and go through the door behind Minokichi. = Wrecked Road (further left) = Two Genma Archers will teleport into the area. Make sure to stay blocking until they fire an arrow then attack them as they reload. Genma Archers are very weak so always make sure to defeat them first when they are in a crowd. Look near the wreckage to the left to find an ONI MED LV1 on the ground. Enter the door near Minokichi when you're ready. = Back Road = Defeat the archers off to the left first then fight off the Genma Soldiers. Grab the PLAINS OUTPOST MAP off the ground. Check the hole near the map for a cutscene that will lead into a boss fight. Boss - Jubei All of Jubei's moves are blockable, but she will constantly pressure you with weapon strikes and combos that will break your guard. She will usually retreat shortly after breaking your guard. The moment she retreats will be your best time to hit her as she prepares for another wave of attacks. Use you Oni Magic (/\ then tap toward her and []) to quickly put an end to her (2 hits). Make sure to keep her targeted so you'll know where she is. Don't worry about her hits if you're guarding when she moves around you and attacks since you will guard her attacks no matter which way you are facing. As long as you stand and guard she cannot hit you at all. Be on the lookout for her kick, which she will randomly do following a combo. If she keeps trying to kick you, dash backward and attack her during her kick. As long as you don't dash into her, you will avoid damage by blocking. Only move toward her while attacking or walking. ******************************** Plains Town ********************************** = Back Road = Directly after the battle, Genma soldiers will appear and attack you and Jubei. Fight them off and hurry ahead. A cutscene will play which will show a purple meteor raining down from the temple up ahead. The meteors that rain down afterward will spawn Genma every time they hit the ground. The game will explain the partner controls after the cutscene. Always remember that "Wait and Recover" will cause your ally to regain health up to half of their health bar - this will be extremely useful in later stages. If a partner dies then the game is not over. Your partner will revive with a small bit of health eventually after dieing. You cannot switch to control Jubei at the moment. Hurry down the road ahead to find an Enchanted Mirror. Run toward the gate up ahead to start a cutscene that will take you to the next area. = Under the Bridge = Soldier Genma will ambush you and Jubei at the bottom of the bridge. The Genma will continually teleport into the area so be careful when you go to absorb souls. Follow the river to the back and a cutscene will introduce you to the Spear Genma. Be sure to block when the Spear Genma dash toward you to guard their spear then attack them when they stop. This type of Genma can be very annoying in a group with other enemies since you will constantly have to watch for their dashes. There's a puzzle box off to the right side with a TIGER EYE inside. PUZZLE BOX #2 - Plains Town - Under the Bridge (1) ----------- (2) ----------- | o * * | | o o o | | | | | | o * * | | o * * | | | | | | o o o | | o * * | ----------- ----------- Follow the river further down and climb up the ladder at the end. = Front Road = An Axeman Genma will appear and initiate the beginning of TEST OF VALOR #1. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #1 - Plains Town - Front Road Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Axeman Time Left: 1:00 Set your ally on "All-out Attack", equip your most powerful weapon, and try as much as you can to knock the Axeman down (use Oni Magic) then stab him with a finisher while he is on the ground. Be sure to block his attack if he starts to lean his axe back. Gold: Secret Med LV2 Silver: Medicine Lv1 Bronze: Grass >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There is an Enchanted Mirror hidden behind the building next to the bridge (not a savable one). Climb up the ladder next to the gate and grab the MUSHROOMS on the other side of the roof then climb down the next ladder. = Back Road = An Enchanted Mirror will be across from the ladder you just got off of. Check the gate to see where to go next. Climb up the ladder next to the second gate. Directly after climbing it, your partner's path will be cut off due to a Genam meteor. Run to the other side of the rooftop and unfold the ladder by examining it. Climb down to find an Axeman and Acher Genma. Rush toward the bridge and defeat the Archer first then deal with the Axeman. Be sure to block his axe swing if you see him preparing to attack. Unbar the door to find Jubei on the other side with three Axemen. TEST OF VALOR #2 will now start. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Plains Town - Back Road Eradicate the Genma within the time limit! Time Left: 1:00 Just like the last Test of Valor, put your partner on "All-out Attack" and slash away or use Oni Magic with your most powerful weapon. Take out the Archer first with normal slashes, then use a chained Oni Magic attack to knock down all three Axemen at once. Gold: Oni Jewel Silver: Medicine LV1 Bronze: Grass >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Now that you have reunited with Jubei, take her back through the gate with you. Grab the POWER JEWEL from the bridge and climb down the ladder to the side of the building (not the bridge yet). At the bottom you will face the usual Genma soldiers along with a new Door Guardian Genma. The Door Guardians can be a major pain if you do not block their laser attacks. Stand next to the Door Guardian and hit it sparingly with combos. The moment it starts its laser attack, be sure to hold the guard button or you will suffer quite a bit of damage. On higher levels these enemies can kill you if they manage to catch you one time because of the multiple-hitting laser. After the Genma is gone, the door will be ready to open. Drain the Red Soul Altar of its red souls and solve the puzzle box to find a DOJIGIRI blade. PUZZLE BOX #3 - Plains Town - Back Road (1) ----------- (2) ----------- | o o o | | o * * | | | | | | o * * | | o * * | | | | | | o * * | | o o o | ----------- ----------- Leave the room and go down the ladder connected to the bridge. Fight off the next Door Guardian Genma just like the first. = Old Temple = The door to the left side requires a key to open. Run across the bridge and defeat the Archers first. The Genma soldiers will constantly respawn from the purple meteors so run across the bridge until you stumble into a new enemy that will activate TEST OF VALOR #3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #3 - Plains Town - Old Temple Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Gacha Time Left: 3:00 As long as you use your Oni Magic on the Gacha and concentrate solely on him then you will get a good ranking. Be sure to set your partner to "All-out Attack" Gold: Kogarasu Silver: Secret Med LV1 Bronze: Mushrooms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Always make sure to concentrate on the Gacha first when they appear with other enemies. All of their attacks can be blocked, but they get really aggressive and have great distance with each attack. Enter the area where the Gacha came from to find a SWEET HERB and an Enchanted Mirror to the side. Walk down the forest path across from the area with the save point. Collect the TAKEZO CONFESSION file from the ground and continue up the path. = Back Road Entrance = Break the middle pot off to the side to find an ONI MED LV1 and the other two pots inside the building to find an ONI JEWEL. A Gacha will teleport into the area eventually. Climb the ladder next to the gate and run across the rooftop to find the --ANCIENT KEY-- at the end of the roof. Go all the way back to the temple and use the key on the locked door. = Block Room = Ignore the Gacha for now - get rid of the archers on the other side of the bridge first then go after the Gacha. There is an Enchanted Mirror across the bridge (nonsave). The chest contains --TEMPLE GATE KEY R.--. Go back to the old temple and enter the door next to the forest path. = Old Temple = Be sure to save before entering the door. Grab the LANTERN TRICK file and the MEDICINE LV1 from off the ground. In order to get the second gate key you will need to light up each torch by striking each of them three times with your weapon (doesn't matter which weapon). Once all the torches are lit, the left middle torch will slide away to reveal --TEMPLE GATE KEY L.--. Place both of the gate keys on the sealed blue door to trigger a cutscene. Boss - Crab Walker This boss looks frightening, but he is really no problem if you look out for his attacks. This will be your longest battle yet since he has some really good armor. Stay right next to him no matter where he jumps - preferably behind him so he cannot hit you with his front leg. If you are far away, he will try to shoot a purple meteor at you. The purple meteors will spawn Genma soldiers throughout the entire battle. Stay close to him and attack him constantly but make to watch for his front leg swipe. When he raises his left leg back be sure to block and you will not take any damage from his swing. When he jumps straight up, be sure to block as he falls to the ground. He will constantly leap around the area, but if you keep up with him you should be able to take him down easily. When he jumps above the middle door you will just have to wait for him to land. Set Jubei to "All-out Attack" while he is on the ground and she will help you take quite a bit of damage. The boss will most likely kill her, but she will revive shortly. The main thing to remember about this battle is to not get too deeply involved in a combo since he will most likely strike you with his front leg if you do. It's best to avoid performing the final hit of a combo because of the delay. If you can time it just right you can do a magic attack right as he attacks with his front leg and avoid damage to yourself while damaging him. Fight some Genma Soldiers if your life gets too low and one of them will eventually cough up some yellow souls for you. HIDEOUT 2 You now have to option to revisit any of the previous stages you have been to by talking to Minokichi. Choose "Hideout" from any Enchanted Mirror in that area to return to the Hideout. Refer to the backtrack section of each area to find some of the items you may have missed. You can use the backtrack option to level up your character for now as well. There will be a better option for leveling up later though. Some new items are available in the shop. Talk to Jubei and choose "Combine" to mix some of those seemingly useless items that you have collected into some worthwile items. Make sure that you power up Jubei a little as well as Soki. You will need to power up each of your allies throughout the game since you will eventually be in control of them without the help of Soki. Talk to both of the characters to get some extra info about them. Always be sure to talk to them for some interesting dialogue at times. Exit the Hideout when you're ready to depart for the next stage. ************************** Plains Highway (Backtrack) ************************* = Back Road = Switch to Jubei and crawl under the hole to the side of the door across from where you start. = Behind the Buildings = Travel to the right (Jubei's left) and climb the ladder to get on the roof. Rush all the way across the rooftops until you reach another ladder then climb down. Head to the right and unlock the door so Soki can get through. While back in control of Soki, head to the Enchanted Mirror to the left and change your partner to Roberto. Change to Roberto and go down the steps, then push each of the blocks over to the indented area of the ground beside each block. All three blocks will lock into place once you move them into the indented area. You now have access to the rest of the area above thanks to the blocks. Switch your partner back to Jubei. Use the blocks to cross over to the door at the far right end. Don't climb up the ladder just yet. = Destroyed Bridge = Move to the left side of the bridge - there's a path to the side of the railing next to the building. Go down the steps and walk across the drained river to find a treasure chest containing INVENTION NOTES near an Enchanted Mirror. Go back behind the building and climb up the ladder next to the door you come through. = Rooftops = At the top, move around the side of the roof and have Jubei move along the narrow board to reach the puzzle box on the other side. Open it to find Jubei's STONE CUTTER.

Time Left: 5:00 You have five minutes to kill 100 Genma Soldiers. Use chained critical magic attacks anytime that you can. You are bound to run into a Genma that will eventually block your attacks, so kick him and start a critical chain on him to kill the surrounding Genma. Only absorb souls if there are no Genma currently on the screen.

Go back the way you came and head all the way back to where Test of Valor #1 was. Climb down into the ditch then climb up the ladder on the other side. = Front Road = Switch your partner to Ohatsu (there's a Yellow Enchanted Mirror to the side of the bridge) then use her to grapple and swing across the bridge.

Climb the ladder next to the gate and walk over the narrow board on the rooftop while controlling Jubei. Head to the right and pick up the SECRET MED LV2. Keep Jubei with you and climb down the ladder at the other end of the roof. Go through the gate to the broken bridge area ahead. = Back Road = Climb the ladder next to the Archer Genma with Jubei and run to the left end. Cross the narrow board above the gate and let the folding ladder down on the other side. Go back through the gate and change your partner to Tenkai. Open the gate again, and use Tenkai to talk to the dead body up the folding ladder and you will receive a TRUE TIGER EYE. Head to the Old Temple via the ladder on the bridge. = Old Temple = Enter the first gate to your left. = Block Room = Switch to Roberto as your partner and use him to move the block off the side of the bridge. Head back to the Enchanted Mirror and switch to Jubei as your partner then have her crawl through the small hole in the wall across from the block. Open the chest to find a PAWN RING. Keep Jubei with you and go back through the gate. = Old Temple = Head down the path across from the destroyed wall. Climb the ladder to get to the rooftop then walk across the board on top of the gate. Head across the left side of the roof to find a PURPLE RING lying along the rooftop. /\ /\ [WTST04] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / ___ STAGE 4 ____ \ \______________________________/ Ohatsu's Tears \_____________________________/ \________________/ ****************************** Fortress at Suruga ***************************** = Mountain Road = Now we're in control of Jubei. Run up the path ahead until a cutscene plays and Ninja Genma attack you. These enemies love to slip in attacks when you least expect it so make sure to keep an eye on the other Ninja Genma while attacking one. If one of them jumps toward you then get ready to block. Run across the bridge ahead to find some more Genma (Archer and Soldier) on the other side along with a PAWN RING in a chest next to them. The door across from them is locked and you won't find the key until much later in the game. Continue down the path to find a MOUNTAIN FORTRESS MAP lying on the ground. Run up the stairs and fight off the Ninja Genma that appear. The door to the side needs a combination to open, but you need to backtrack to this stage to get it. If you want to know it now then visit the backtrack section for this stage. Walk up to the board at the side of the cliff and examine it twice to walk across it. Jubei's unique aspects allow her to cross narrow spaces or crawl in areas that Soki could normally not get through. On the other side save at the Enchanted Mirror and run down the right path to find a MEDICINE LV2 at the end. Ignore the dead body for now (you will need to backtrack later with a certain character). A Genma Axeman will appear in the path behind you. Defeat him and run back to the Mirror and take the left path. On the bridge a Genma Axeman will appear on each end to block you off. Fight through the Genma Axemen and enter the path to your left on the other side of the bridge. = Cliffside = Run to the character's left and step across the fallen tree that leads to the fortress wall. Run down the ramp. = Inside the Wall = Grab the FANGS and SENTRY'S DIARY 2 to the side and hurry down the path ahead. A cutscene will play and Spider Genma will ambush you. Like the Ninja Genma, Spider Genma love to sneak in attacks when you least expect them as well. Make sure to block if you see a Spider Genma jump into the air and hang from a web. The Spider Genma will jump toward you and slash at you after suspending himself. They will usually remain suspended in their web until you come close enough for them to lunge at you. Try to lure them away from the middle path and fight them at the entrance you just came from since there is an archer in the background. After disposing of them, run down the path (past the Axeman) and defeat the Archer Genma. Grab the ONI MED LV1 off the crate to the side and save your game at the Enchanted Mirror after defeating the enemies. Climb the ladder to trigger a cutscene. = Front of Warehouse = Now you can actually switch between both of the characters at will. Press the L2 button to switch between them. Always remember that if the controlled character dies then you die. TEST OF VALOR #1 will start immediately after the reunion of Soki and Jubei. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #1 - Fortress at Suruga - Front of Warehouse Eradicate the Genma within the time limit. Time Left: 3:00 If you use Magic Attacks here and stay aggressive you will gain an easy gold. Don't worry about the souls! While controlling Soki, use your Oni Magic with Fire Dance to slice through a whole group of Genma at once then attack them while they lay on the ground to finish them off. Gold: Black Sword Silver: Secret Med LV1 Bronze: Mushrooms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After the fight, check the chest near the wagon to find an ACOLYTE'S RING. To the right of the Enchanted Mirror, collect the SENTRY'S DIARY 1. Save your game and enter the path in the middle of the road. = Side of the Warehouse = Many Genma will spawn in this area as you run down the path ahead. Ignore the ladder for now and run down the path ahead. Various Genma will teleport into the area along the way. Grab the POWER JEWEL from the barrels about midways down the path. Run all the way to the end path and use Jubei to crawl under the hole in the gate at the end. = Back of the Warehouse = Carefully fight off the Genma and climb the ladder on the left. Walk across the wall and grab the --CASTLE GATE KEY-- from the other end of the framework. When you climb back down the ladder some Ninja Genma will attack. Crawl back through the side of the gate. = Side of Warehouse = Run back to the door that you passed and use the Castle Gate Key on the door. Climb up the ladder inside the room. = Cliffside = Grab the BLACK BLADE from the left chest and solve the puzzle on the right chest to receive a GEM OF VALOR. PUZZLE BOX #1 - Fortress at Suruga - Cliffside (1) ----------- (2) ----------- | o o o | | o * * | | | | | | * * o | | o * * | | | | | | * * o | | o o o | ----------- ----------- There is nothing else to do here for the moment so go back to the area where you came from. = Side of Warehouse = Climb the first ladder near the front of this area and make sure to have Jubei follow you if you are not controlling her already. Near the ramp of the framework you will find a FRAMEWORK MEMO. Continue up the ramp until you reach a section of boards that blocks the way. Sadly the proud Black Oni cannot cut through wood so you must have Jubei crawl under the wood for him. With Jubei, climb up the ladder on the other side after crawling through the space then pull the lever to move the structure to the side away from the ladder. Examine the folding ladder to let it fold downward and Soki will be able to climb up. Run down the side of the framework ahead to find a puzzle box. Many Genma Soldiers will teleport onto the framework along the way. PUZZLE BOX #2 - Fortress at Suruga - Side of the Warehouse) (1) ----------- (2) ----------- | * * o | | o o o | | | | | | * * o | | o * * | | | | | | o o o | | o * * | ----------- ----------- Soki's GLACIER SONG sword will be inside of the puzzle box. Have one of your characters wait by the first switch then climb up the next ladder with your other character. The second switch on the left needs some oiling, so you can't use the switch yet. Switch to your other character and pull the switch below then switch back to the top character. Lower the ladder at the other end so your bottom character can join you. Run down the path until you get to the switch at the end. Have a character wait by the switch then backtrack to the ladder that you passed and climb down it. Fight off the Genma and run toward the structure that is blocking your way. Have the top character pull the lever then grab the --LUBRICATING OIL-- with the bottom character. Go back to the lever that needs oiling and use the oil on it. Pull the lever and grab the CROW FEATHER from the floor of the framework. Talk to Jubei to learn a little about the crow feather. Before you leave this area, I would recommend that you go back and pull the lever on the first switch so that the wall is on the top. This will make your backtracking a bit easier when you come back later. Climb up the ladder to the side. = Roof of Warehouse = Here you will be introduced to the Genma Crows. Use Soki's uppercut attack (Back + []) while locked on to one of them to easily knock them out of the sky when they fly low. Further ahead an Archer and some Ninja Genma will attack. When you make it to the tree trunk walk over the tree trunk to the other side of the roof to find a SECRET MED LV1. Walk across the tree trunk to the other building and run across the side of the roof to the ladder. A cutscene will play. = Inside Warehouse = Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror to the left and climb down the ladder for a cutscene. Boss - Ohatsu The only aspect that really makes this battle annoying are the Genma trees. Ohatsu will always stand right next to a Genma tree while attacking you. If you try to hit her while she stands next to one, your blade will most likely bounce off of a Genma tree allowing her to attack you. Stand back and block her gunfire then rush toward her as she reloads. Lock on to her and kick her when you get close to knock her away from the Genma trees then attack her with a combo or Oni Magic. She will use her grappling hook to move to another side of the warehouse eventually. You will have to scope her out and perform the same method of attack once again. Every now and then she will sneak in her big burst attack which is unblockable but it is close range - be on the lookout for her to duck and charge her gun then quickly get away. You can use the trees as cover to avoid her shots also instead of blocking. = Roof of Warehouse = Notice the Shadow of Rome music playing in the background? Ah yes, what a fine game that was - such sweet memories...what, you never played Shadow of Rome!? Go play it. NOW! Anyway, climb the ladder to get back on the rooftop. An Axeman and Archer Genma will appear near the tree. Defeat them (archer first) and run across the tree. Run along the roof toward the ladder and some Ninja Genma will attack. Defeat them with Oni Magic since they can be quite deadly when there are more than two then climb down the ladder. = Side of Warehouse = Move across the framework and climb down the second ladder. Climb down the next ladder closest to you for a cutscene. HIDEOUT 3 Now we're back at the hideout once again. Be sure to level up your skills and items before departing. There are also some extra items in the shop. ************************ Fortress at Suruga (Backtrack) *********************** = Front of Warehouse = You'll start in the same area that Soki started after Jubei's little quest from last time. Go ahead and choose Jubei from the start since you'll need her first. Enter the path to the right as you run to the back. = Side of the Warehouse = Climb the first ladder and rush all the way to the next ladder on the framework. You will need to crawl under the wood and raise the wooden platform with Jubei so Soki can get through. After raising the platform, go back down the ladder and run to the very end and go up the ramp to the Enchanted Mirror. Choose Ohatsu as your partner and run all the way back to where you were. Climb to the very top of the framework on the left side and pull the switch at the top. Grapple across the gap at the end with Ohatsu and open the chest on the other side for an ONI JEWEL. If you go up the ladder to the side, you can engage in Test of Valor #2 on the rooftop. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Rooftop - Fortress at Suruga Carry out the technique within the time limit! Technique: Chain Critical X5 Time Left: 3:00 This is one battle where it really helps to have a weak weapon! Equip the weakest weapon you have (Dragon Offer most likely) and use Oni Magic Critical Chains on the Genma Soldiers. Try to move to the correct side of them so that you will slide toward another Genma when you do the first Critical Chain. Only a Critical Chain of two or more enemies will count toward the goal. Gold: Naga Ring Silver: Secret Med LV1 Bronze: Mushrooms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Go back down the ladder and rush to the far right side of the framework and grapple over the gap to find a GOLD NUGGET in a chest. Climb all the way back down and bomb the gate next to the bottom ladder with Ohatsu. = Inside the Wall = Turn right and go up the ladder then rush to the end of the top area to find Tenkai's DRAGONFLY in a chest at the very end. Travel back down the ladder and go back through the door. Enter the door down the path on the right side (where the Ninja Genma appear). = Cliffside = Move across the bridge with Ohatsu and bomb the rock on the other side. Go down the path ahead. = Mountain Road = Turn to the character's left upon entering and use Ohatsu to swing over the gap. You'll find the --MOUNTAIN SHRINE KEY-- on the ground and a WARRIOR'S CODE in the treasure chest. Swing back to the other side and continue down the path ahead. Approach the Enchanted Mirror across the bridge and switch your partner to Tenkai. Talk to the dead body down the path beside you and he will tell you a story, which will help you solve the lock puzzle on the gate ahead. He will only say it once so be sure to listen. Oh wait, I typed it out for you: "One time I faced off against three evil bandits. I cut them all down and left six pieces behind. You should've seen the look on their leader's face." ** The correct code is 1 - 3 - 6 ** Go back to the Enchanted Mirror and change your partner to Jubei. Use her to walk across the fallen tree and get to the locked door on the other side. Enter the code and run down the path ahead for a RARE ANTLER. Travel down the steps to the character's right and use the Mountain Shrine Key on the door at the bottom. Walk to the end of the path beyond the door for a RARE SHELL. /\ /\ [WTST05] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / ___ STAGE 5 ___ \ \______________________________/ The Red Demon \______________________________/ \_______________/ **************************** Sawayama Castle Town ***************************** = Fox Gate = As the stage opens you will be immediately ambushed by Genma Soldiers. Defeat them and run up ahead. A new Genma will be introduced in a cutscene. Like the other Onimusha's, these Soul Absorber Genma will steal all the souls in the area for themselves. Bring them down close to you by using your soul absorber on your Oni gauntlet then attack them. Spear Genma will charge down the path at you after the Soul Absorber cutscene. Block as they dash by, then knock them down or just let them run by. Run to the very back and get rid of the Archer Genma then focus on the rest of the enemies. Grab the S. CASTLE GROUNDS MAP from off the ground next to the second blue sealed door. Walk toward the door at the other end (Exit) near the Enchanted Mirror and grab the --RED PEARL V-- from the fox statue's mouth. This pearl will cause all the red seals to be removed from the surrounding doors. In order to open the exit door, you will need to go through the surrounding doors and find six pearls that can be obtained from the statues inside. The only catch is that you have to collect them in a specific order. Keep in mind that the same group of enemies that you just fought will always respawn in the Fox Gate area every time you reenter. Below is a diagram of all the doors to make this a bit easier to explain. ----------------- | I E I | | I I | | I I | |I 4R) (5B IV| | I I | | I I | | I I | |II 3B) I V| | I I | | I I | | I I | |III 1R) (2R VI| | I I | | I I | | I e I | ----------------- Enter door 2R to start things off. A word of warning: Make sure to set your partner to "Wait and Recover" unless you want your partner to trigger some tough fights behind each door. = 2R Room = Two metal statues (actually Armored Genma) will be inside with spiked maces in their hands. These enemies will be in every room. Usually, they will not attack you unless you hit one of them. They are heavily armored so you will have to stop your combos to block their attacks while hitting them. Once you have stripped them of their armor you'll be able to knock them down. When all there life is gone, MAKE SURE to get away from them since they will die in a quite damaging explosion. Grab the MEDICINE LV2 from the lantern off to the right. Open the doors to your left. = V Room = Grab the PAIR SCARF from the chest between the Armored Genma and examine the fox statue with the pearl in its mouth on the left side. You will gain --BLUE PEARL II--. Now the red doors will be sealed once again and the blue doors will be open. Examine the statue on the right to get the --FOX GEM (GHOST)--. An Axeman and Soldier Genma will attack as you remove the second pearl. Fight them off (away from the Armored Genma) and enter the door that used to be sealed. = 5B Room = Grab the POWER JEWEL from the wagon and TAKUAN'S DIARY 2 from the ground and exit the room. Enter door 3B next. = 3B Room = One of the Armored Genma will attack as you walk toward the fox statue. It is best to fight them without your partner's help since your partner will only get owned with his/her constant attacking without the slightest thought of guarding unless you give the command for him/her to guard. Your partner does make for some good bait however. Use Jubei's "Distract Enemy" command to help out a bit. Examine the fox statue with the pearl to get --RED PEARL VI--. Be sure to grab --FOX GEM (EARTH)-- from the right statue. Three Spear Genma and Archer Genma will teleport into the room. As usual, defeat the archer first. Suck some souls out of the Yellow Soul Altar to the side, but don't drain it. Try to get just a few at a time so you will have some more left over if you need extra life later. Solve the puzzle box in the middle to get Jubie's MIKAZUKI.

Grab --RED PEARL I-- from the left statue and --FOX GEM (HELL)-- from the right statue. After grabbing both pearls TEST OF VALOR #1 will start. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR # 1 - Sawayama Castle Town - 2R Room Carry out the technique within the time limit! Technique: Critical X 5 Time Left: 3:00 The best way to approach this battle is to have a high Critical Chain level with your skills. Chained attacks using Oni Magic will give you a critical per chain. You can get three chains right off the bat with the Gacha that will teleport into the room with two Genma Soldiers. Chain them with one Oni Magic Critical attack then hit the Gacha with another Magic Attack as he gets up. Run over to the archer and the soldier to the side and use an Oni Magic attack to gain the gold! Gold: Ice Rifle Silver: Medicine LV2 Bronze: Grass >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Leave this room and travel over to door 4R. = 4R Room = The left Armored Genma will attack as you walk up to the fox statue. After defeating him, examine the left fox statue to gain --RED PEARL III-- from its mouth then grab --FOX GEM (HEAVEN)-- from the right statue. Like clockwork, three Genma will teleport into the room near the entrance. Fight off the Ninja Genma and Axeman then exit. Room 1R is the next destination. = 1R Room = Grab the SECRET MED LV1 from the well off to the side and suck the Red Soul Altar dry. Do the usual fox statue examining to get --BLUE PEARL IV-- and -- FOX GEM (TITAN)--. Spider Genma and an Archer will teleport into the room. Both of the types are just as bad, so try to knock the Spiders down then rush toward the Archer and defeat him. The next destination is Room 5B. You will have to enter room 3B to the side to get there though. = 5B Room = Both of the Armored Genma will assault you as you run toward the statues. Give Jubei the order to "Distract Enemy" so you can fight one at a time. Hit them carefully while remembering to block their attacks! Grab --FOX GEM (ANIMAL)-- from the right statue after placing Blue Pearl IV in the left statue's mouth. Crows and an Archer will teleport into the room. Use uppercut attacks to defeat the crows easily. Go back out to the Fox Gate. = Fox Gate = Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror and place all six gems on the middle door to enter. Boss - Tenkai Tenkai is an extremely easy boss if you take advantage of him when he blocks. Stand back while blocking and wait for him to move into you. He will most likely do his full combo then block. Kick him while he blocks and unleash a critical hit by pressing toward him and the [] button. Attack him while he falls. You will defeat him in no time with the constant critical attacks that you can get on him. His combos can be easily sidestepped as well and he has some lag after performing a combo so you can easily hit him after blocking one. The only move that is unblockable is his magic attack, which is short range so it shouldn't cause you too much trouble. Beware his great distance with the spear - if you allow him to hit you then you may fall victim to his entire combo. Boss - Genma Bug Stay to one of the sides (near a door) when the Genma starts to shoot a shockwave of electricity along the ground. He only opens up right after an attack. When he stops moving after performing his electric shockwave (the razors will stop) or whenever he buries his razor blade sphere into the ground give Tenkai the order to "Go All-out" and run over to the boss and attack. After about two combos you will need to retreat to the nearest door and tell Tenkai to "Wait and Recover" since the boss will retaliate with an attack. If he buries his razor sphere into the ground, he will bring it up from the ground and perform a pendulum-type swing with the razor sphere. If you stand in front of the Genma Bug at any time he will try to swing his razor sphere at you as well. Keep to the sides and only attack the boss when he stops. Keep in mind that the first hit of any razor from his sphere will break your guard so you can't very well just stand underneath him while the razors are moving. When he sticks his sphere in the ground it is best to run behind him since he will have electric shots spread along the path in front of him. You will sometimes have to block his razor sphere as he scurries down the path since it will move from the side to side but it will not hit you if you remain blocking. Sadly you can't switch over to Tenkai during this battle, but you can equip him with an accessory to boost his attack a bit. Always have him "Wait and Recover" while the Genma performs its attacks then issue the "Go All-out" command when the boss is open to attack. This shouldn't be too long of a battle if have Tenkai help you when the boss staggers. When the Genma Bug nears his last bit of life he will start to shoot out more electric shockwaves than usual per attack. HIDEOUT 4 Some new items are now available in the shop. Be sure to power up Tenkai a bit since you will need him the most on the next stage. His skills can also be powered up dramatically at the moment in order to keep him on the same level with the other characters. *********************** Sawayama Castle Town (Backtrack) ********************** The only reason to backtrack to this area is for Test of Valor #2. = 4R Room = As you walk into the back of the room Test of Valor #2 will start. Recognize the two guys in the cutscene? They're the same two that assaulted Jubei at the beginning of the game. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Sawayama Castle Town (Backtrack) - 4R Room Protect the target! Time Left: 3:00 This is a hard one to get a gold rank on. You must protect the two guards from the Genma. Genma Soldiers and Gachas will constantly enter the area. Set your partner to guard so that he will not take any extra damage that will lower your rank. Make sure to take out the Gacha as soon as he teleport into the area. He will always teleport into the area near the entrance. Use an Oni Magic Critical to defeat him quickly or he will spin his club straight toward the two guards. Make sure to watch for the Gacha and kill him every time one of them teleport into the area. Don't worry about the Soldier Genma that much. Very minimal damage must be suffered in order to get a gold rank. Here's some helpful strategy that I have received from an email: "I have found that for all the 'Protect the Target!' TOVs, having Jubei as a partner and commanding her to 'Distract Enemy' seems to greatly improve one's chances at getting a Gold Ranking, simply because the enemies will be focused on Jubei rather than the two hapless samurais. Then, it will simply be a matter of protecting Jubei and making sure she doesn't take damage." (Thanks to Boone) Gold: Horin Silver: Purple Ring Bronze: Mushrooms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> /\ /\ [WTST06] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / _____ STAGE 6 _____ \ \____________________________/ A Child's Revenge \____________________________/ \___________________/ ****************************** Sawayama Dungeon ******************************* = Cave Entrance = From the start of the area, switch to Tenkai and run up to the dead body in the background. Use O to talk to the dead spirit inside of the body and you will receive an ANTIDOTE. In order to proceed down the path to the right you will need to find a gear to lower the bridge. Run down the left path and a new Genma will teleport into the area. These Mushroom Genma will constantly spawn other Genma while they remain alive. Always focus your attacks on these whenever they appear. As they start to shake they will release a poison gas that will cause a poison state if it touches you. The Mushroom Genma are heavily armored so you will spend quite a bit of time hitting them. Be sure to back off when you see them shake to avoid the gas cloud. The first Mushroom Genma will summon Soldier Genma and the second will summon Spear Genma. Axeman Genma will teleport into the room when you try to leave. Grab the S. CASTLE DUNGEON MAP to the side of the elevator shaft before going further into the cave. = Stone Pillar Room 1 = Grab the ONI JEWEL from the side of the wall and save your game at the Enchanted Mirror. Walk across the two bridges up ahead and talk to the dead body near the second bridge. He will tell you how to work the lift. Position one of your characters on the dark square in front of the switch with the blue glow and tell him to wait. Switch to your other character and step on the switch to raise your other character to the area above. Switch back to your other character and have him stand on the square to the right of him. Switch back to the top character and step on the purple switch to raise your other character to the top. Switch back once again and have your other character step on the final switch to move the block in front of him downward revealing a door. Position one of your characters on that stone pillar that you just lowered and then step on the switch once again to make it rise into the air. Switch to the character on the pillar to find a POWER JEWEL on a lantern at the very top. Solve the puzzle box to the side before leaving to get Soki's CUTTING WIND sword. Go through the door when you're finished. PUZZLE BOX #1 - Sawayama Dungeon - Lift Room 1 (1) ----------- (2) ----------- (3) ----------- | * * o | | o * * | | o o o | | | | | | | | * * o | | o * * | | * * o | | | | | | | | o o o | | o o o | | * * o | ----------- ----------- ----------- = Stone Pillar Room 2 = Step into the cave and grab the STONE PILLARS file. Take both characters down the ladder then position Tenkai on the blue stone pillar and step on the blue switch with Soki so Tenkai is lifted upward. With Tenkai, talk to the dead body next to the second stone pillar to get the --CAVE DOOR KEY--. Have Soki run all the way to the end of the bottom section to grab the MEDICINE LV2 off the ground. Step on the second blue switch so Tenkai can cross all the way over to the other side on the top. Lower the second blue stone pillar then stand on it with Soki and have Tenkai step on the top switch to bring Soki up to the second level. Now you can leave this room by unlocking the door at the end. Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror next to the door before leaving. = Cave Entrance = Lower the folding ladder to the side and tell Soki to wait while you climb down the ladder with Tenkai. Fight off the enemies that appear then stand on the stone pillar in between the shaft across from the ladder you just climbed down. Switch back to Soki and have him step on the switch to raise Tenkai upward. Talk to the dead body to get Tenkai's YAMA spear. Talk to the other dead body next to the shrine at the end of the path to engage in a Genma battle. An Invisible Genma will attack you. Use your Soul Absorption to make the Genma reveal itself then attack it when it appears. The Genma is totally invincible otherwise. Grab the COPPER GEAR from near the dead body after the fight. Stand on the stone pillar and have Soki lower it for you. Bring Soki down the ladder then head back to the very beginning. Take the right path this time, next to the very first dead body, and place the Copper Gear on the device to lower the bridge. An Axeman Genma will try to stop you. Open the door across from the bridge. = Cave Lake = Two Ninja Genma will attack as soon as you enter and an Archer will be shooting arrows from the other side of the hole in front of you. Defeat the Archer first then go after the Ninja Genma. Use Tenkai to talk to the spirit of the dead body afterward for a bit of info about the Westerner. You'll need Jubei to get to the treasure chest next to the dead body (you'll need to backtrack). Another gear is needed for the bridge off to the left side of the cave. Enter the path directly across from the door you just came through. The Mushroom Genma down the path will summon Axeman Genma. Use Oni Magic to make quick work of them all, then grab the ONI MED LV2 off the crate to the right. Enter the doorway up ahead to find TAKUAN'S DIARY 3 off to the side and an Enchanted Mirror further down the path. The small door is shut so enter the large door. = Westerner's Cell = Boss - Roberto Roberto is a bit harder than the other character bosses that you have fought mainly because his combo will cause you to stagger. Stay locked on to him and wait for him to step toward you. Step back as soon as he steps forward then move to either side of him as he starts to unleash a series of jabs. Attack him with a combo or Oni Magic from the side while he is open. The attacks will not cause him to stagger until about the second hit so be sure to start early. One good thing about this battle is that you will only have to look out for his combo since that's all that he will do, but the straight punch after the series of jabs will always cause you to stagger and allow him to hit you with the rest of the combo so you will have to dodge it, counter it, or deflect it. Thankfully, he will always step forward before doing the combo so you can use that as a warning. If he ever stands and blocks, kick him and unleash a counter just like you did with Tenkai. After the battle Soldier Genma will attack. Kill them and be sure to absorb the souls quickly since this sequence will not last too long. Boss - Sakon Rule #1: DO NOT hit Sakon from the front since he will always have a fire shield in front of him unless you can manage to stun him with the help of Tenkai. Rule #2: DO NOT let Sakon corner you. If he manages to work you into a corner, you are dead. His flames will murder you as you try to escape. With those two rules in mind Sakon is actually not that hard of a boss since his attacks are limited for the moment. He will walk around the room and stab at you three times. Run around the area without locking on to avoid them or block (last hit only). After the third stab, circle around him and hit him from the back with one combo. You may be able to sneak in two more hits after the combo, but don't do any more than that. He will turn around and start to walk toward you once again. Get far away from him and wait for him to do his three stabs again. Get behind him once again after the third stab and hit him. Sometimes you can circle Sakon and hit him from the back even if he doesn't attack you. Don't do a full combo if he hasn't attacked since he will recover faster. If you tell Tenkai to "Go All-out" while Sakon is trying to hit you with spear thrust then Tenkai may be able to stun Sakon momentarily. Run up and hit Sakon while he is stunned since he will lose his shield, but back off as he summons another flame shield. You can also order Tenkai to "Pray" so your attacks will take off more. The only bad thing about fighting Sakon aggressively with the help Tenkai is that he will start to do his horizontal spear attack that is likely to murder you in such a small room. = Above the Prison = Grab the MEDICINE LEVEL 2 from behind you and continue up ahead with your new partner. In order to get past the barricade, switch to Ohatsu and use her special ability (O) to grapple across the barricade. On the other side, open the double doors. Grab TAKUAN'S DIARY 4 and go through the next set of doors ahead. = Castle Courtyard = Head off to the right side and unlock the door to let Soki through. Spear Genma and Soldier Genma will attack. Take control of Ohatsu and shoot the Archer Genma at the top of the building in the back to start things off, then switch back to Soki and set Ohatsu to "Cover Fire" and she will help you greatly. Grab the FOSSILIZED BONE from near the tree and enter through the double doors in the middle (the door down the ramp is locked). = Outer Gate = The chest contains a WARRIOR'S CODE. Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror and use it to power up Ohatsu. Enter the next door when you're ready. = Castle Entrance = This room can be deadly with the Door Guardian's wide range laser. Defeat the Spider Genma first then concentrate on the Door Guardian. It's best to use Oni Magic to chop through all three enemies to speed up the battle. ELEVATOR NOTES are laying on the ground to the left. Enter the door up ahead since the others are locked. Enter the door on the left and go up the ladder then use Ohatsu's grapple ability to swing over the spikes and get the --1F EAST DOOR KEY-- on the other side of the room. Go back down the ladder and enter the middle room. = Folding Screen Room = Solve the puzzle box to the side to get Ohatsu's DECADENCE and save your game at the Enchanted Mirror. PUZZLE BOX #2 - Sawayama Dungeon - Folding Screen Room (1) ------------------- (2) ------------------- (3) ------------------- | * * o o o | | o o o o o | | o o o o o | | | | | | | | * * o o o | | o * * o o | | o o * * o | | | | | | | | o o o o o | | o * * o o | | o o * * o | ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- (4) ------------------- | o o o * * | | | | o o o * * | | | | o o o o o | ------------------- Grab the --1F MACHINE LEVER-- from the other side of the room. There is nothing else to be done up the ladder for now so exit the room. = Castle Entrance = Position Ohatsu next to the lever on the right, then place the lever on the left with Soki and have them both pull the levers at once. Two Ninja Genma will attack from behind. Defeat them and use the East Door Key on the right door then grab the SAWAYAMA CASTLE MAP off the floor and climb the ladder. = Second Floor = Solve the puzzle box to the side for a SAMURAI RING. PUZZLE BOX #3 - Sawayama Dungeon - Second Floor (1) ----------- (2) ----------- | o o o | | * * o | | | | | | * * o | | * * o | | | | | | * * o | | o o o | ----------- ----------- Walk up to the door in the back and switch to Ohatsu. Stand on the wooden floor and use her special ability (O) to shoot the rope holding the plank. The door to the side is locked for the moment. Go across the plank and climb down the ladder to find the --2F CENTRAL DOOR KEY--. Run back and use the key on the door in the middle. Soldier and Axe Genma will teleport into the room - nothing major. = Second Floor Corridor = Switch to Ohatsu and bomb the gate (O) to your right upon entering. Enter the next room to find --3F MACHINE LEVER-- and VASSAL'S MEMO 1. Go up the ladder to find a SECRET MED LV2. Backtrack to the room where you bombed the door and climb the ladder at the other end. = Third Floor = Collect VASSAL'S MEMO 2 from the back and solve the puzzle box to get a S. GENERAL RING PUZZLE BOX #4 - Sawayama Dungeon - Third Floor (1) ----------- (2) ----------- | o o o | | o o o | | | | | | o * * | | * * o | | | | | | o * * | | * * o | ----------- ----------- A few Genma will teleport into the room. Use Ohatsu to shoot the Archer. Switch to Ohatsu once again and have her grapple to the other side of the third floor. Walk over to the right side and grab the --3F CENTRAL DOOR KEY-- and vacuum the red souls out of the Red Soul Altar. A few Genma will teleport into the room once again. Position Ohatsu next to the lever on her side then switch to Soki and place the lever on his side then get each of them to pull the lever. Unlock the door in the middle. = Third Floor Save Room = Solve the puzzle box to get a MAGICIAN'S RING. PUZZLE BOX #5 - Sawayama Dungeon - Third Floor Save Room (1) ----------- (2) ----------- (3) ----------- | o o o | | o * * | | * * o | | | | | | | | * * o | | o * * | | * * o | | | | | | | | * * o | | o o o | | o o o | ----------- ----------- ----------- Don't use any of your souls to power up Ohatsu this time - only level up Soki for the moment because you will definitely need it. Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror then bomb the door with Ohatsu and enter. Boss- Munenori This fight is not hard if you use the right weapon. DO NOT use the Cutting Wind or any other 5-hit combo sword because Munenori will always counter the fifth hit with a Reverse Air Slash that will be a guaranteed hit for him since you will be recovering when he does it. He will sometimes counter a 3-hit combo sword as well since the final hit will hit him multiple times. Use a 4- hit combo blade (Fire Dance, Glacier Song, Lamentation) and you will be fine. The 4-hit combo will always knock him down. Make sure to block his sand attack if you stand near him while he is down or he will stun you with the sand, leaving you open to his combos. Don't every go for a finisher while he is on the ground or Soki will be coughing up sand - combo slashes are ok, though slightly risky. The safest time to hit Munenori is directly after his 4-hit combo or while he is taunting you. His attacks range from a 4-hit combo, a Reverse Air Slash, a Double Slash, and a move where he will summon his crows after you (watch for the whistle) all of which can be blocked. Some of the attacks will break your guard, but they will not hit you as long as you block. The only move you have to watch out for is his Slash then Thrust combo since the Slash will break your guard as he chains into the Thrust. Watch for him to hold his sword to do the Slash then back away from him or move to the side before he can catch you or attack him. Try to beat him without losing any life if at all possible. Grab the MEDICINE LV3 from the chest after the battle and climb back down the ladder to save your game once again. Reenter the room and climb up the ladder next to the giant bug in the background for a cutscene. Boss - Genma Wasp This boss appears hard and can actually be quite a pain if you don't see the warnings for his attacks, but all you have to do is watch his head. The wasp will always hiss right before it does an attack. He will do one of three attacks after hissing. He will either release poison from his mouth in the area next to him, try to slice you with his arm, or release a gust of wind from his mouth. The gust and arm are both blockable, but you must move away from the arm so it does not hit you twice since the first hit will break your guard. You will have to move away from the area around its head when it spews poison. The good thing about its attacks is that it will hit the Genma around the area and most likely kill them releasing tons of souls around the room. The boss will constantly drop eggs from its egg sac, which Genma will hatch out of. The eggs can be destroyed but it really doesn't matter whether you destroy them or not since there will be about five eggs at a time. Hit the wasp in the head with any weapon of your choosing to damage it. It can be hit at any time, but make sure to back off and prepare for its attack whenever it hisses. Issue out the order for Roberto to "Wait and Recover" whenever the wasp hisses in order for him to last a bit longer. Keep an eye on the Genma around you as well while attacking the wasp, since they can sometimes block you off when you try to dodge the wasp's attacks. It's best not to even worry about the Genma and just let the wasp kill them. As long as you watch the wasp very closely and react when it hisses you won't have any problems. HIDEOUT 5 As usual some new items are available at the item shop. If you are confused on what partner you should upgrade with souls for the next stage then upgrade Tenkai. Now would be a good time to go back to any of the previous stages and get some of the extra items that you missed with your partners. /\ /\ [WTST07] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / ______ STAGE 7 ______ \ \___________________________/ Temple of Bloodshed \___________________________/ \_____________________/ ************************************ Kyoto ************************************ = Main Street = Turn around and use the Enchanted Mirror to get an ally. It doesn't matter what ally you choose, but it is a very good idea to have one for this stage. Run past the wooden carts to the left of the Enchanted Mirror to find a path leading to an ONI JEWEL. As you rush down the main road up ahead, tons of Genma Soldiers will charge at you and they will keep teleporting into the area. These Genma Soldiers are much more aggressive than the ones you have been fighting. They each will do a three hit combo after charging at you with their weapon raised. Grab the KYOTO AREA MAP from the first stand on the right and the MEDICINE LV 3 from the second stand on the left then go through the door at the end. = Connecting Road = Rush to the left and get rid of the first Door Guardian on the wall before dealing with the Soldier Genma. There is another Door Guardian guarding the exit. Use the Soldier Genma as starters for Oni Magic chains so you can hit the Door Guardians with part of the chain if you have trouble defeating them. An ONI MED LV 2 is on the stand to the right. = Bridge = >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #1 - Kyoto - Bridge Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Genma General Time Left: 2:00 The Genma General is heavily armored and can be hard to knock down, but that is nothing that a little Oni Magic Critical can't fix. Rush toward the Genma General in the back as the test starts and set your partner to "Go All-out". Watch out for the archer's arrows as you run toward him. As you make it next to any enemy, use Oni Magic and chain a critical hit on all of them to knock them all down then slash away at the Genma General while he falls. Do not let up for a second. Gold: Ice Sword Silver: Medicine LV2 Bronze: Wildflower >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Run back to the middle of the bridge to find a puzzle box with Jubei's EARTH BLADE inside and return to the beginning of the bridge to find an Enchanted Mirror.

Genma Soldiers and another Gacha will teleport into the area so you will most likely awake the sleeping Gacha. Use Oni Magic to chop through them all at once. There is a GAMBLER'S THIMBLE on the stand to the left. Open the door across from the stand. = Alleyway = Three Armored Genma will be waiting as you walk down the street. They will automatically attack so you can't slip past them. If you have Jubei, her "Distract Enemy" command will really come in handy here. Genma Soldiers will teleport into the area after the Armored Genma are defeated. Go down the small alley to the right and grab TAKUAN'S DIARY 5 and the POWER JEWEL near the Enchanted Mirror. Run down the road and three Door Guardians will appear at the end. Be extremely careful while hitting the Door Guardian on the exit door since you have to go up on a ramp and you will have to stay in front of him, directly in the path of his laser, in order to hit him. All the Door Guardians have a wide range with their lasers so make sure to watch them closely. Check the chest off to the right for a TRUE TIGER EYE. Equip the True Tiger Eye to Soki since he will need it in just a bit. ********************************* Daigo Temple ******************************** = Path to Daigo Temple = Now you are in control of Soki alone. A cutscene will play and will introduce the Tunneler Genma. These Genma have an intense tunneling attack that will take off great damage if you do not block the moment they shoot up from the ground. While they are burrowing under the ground you can stab them with a finisher for a one hit kill if you time it just right. A few Soldier Genma will join the Tunneler. Grab the DAIGO TEMPLE MAP from the left side of the path. As you move up the path, fireballs will float down from ahead. Dodge them or block as they go by. The first cherry tree that you go by will have a SECRET MED LV1 by it. = Path to Daigo Temple (continued) = More Tunneler Genma, Soldier Genma, and Fireballs will be after you while running up the path. The Fireballs will actually destroy the Genma if they hit one. Check near the cherry tree right before the Enchanted Mirror to find a chest with a WARRIOR'S RING inside. Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror and continue upwards. = Path to Daigo Temple (continued) = KIYOMASA'S MEMO will by lying by the first tree as you continue along the path. The Fireballs start to really pour down at this part so make sure to stop and block them even if you are fighting Genma. Archer Genma will try to stop you once you reach the second tree. The Archers now shoot out three arrows so they will take more damage than what you are used to from prior stages. Near the second tree you will find a POWER JEWEL. Run up the stairs to the next area. = Juntei Hall = >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Kyoto - Juntei Hall Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Don Gacha Time Left: 1:00 The Fireballs will make this challenge harder than it should be. Start off with Oni Magic to knock the Don Gacha down then slash at him while he is down. Make sure to keep a sharp eye on the Fireballs that will float down from the stairs. They will damage the Don Gacha as well as you, so they are like a blessing and a curse at the same time. In order to get a gold, stay locked on to the Don Gacha at ALL TIMES and use Oni Magic while you block the fireballs. You can afford to get hit once and still get a gold. Gold: Black Rifle Silver: Purple Ring Bronze: Red Mushrooms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is an excellent place to Soul farm if you need some extra souls for upgrades, just exit the area and reenter for some more Soldier Genma to spawn. The Test of Valor will yield some decent soul amounts as well. Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror and head up the stairs. = Stairs to Daigo Temple = Run up the stairs and dodge the Fireballs that float down. Near the middle you will find a SECRET MED LV2. Near the top, the Fireballs will become quite intense for such a narrow stairway so you will be forced to block at times. A cutscene will play once you reach the top. Boss - Sakon Now we're back in control of Tenkai. This boss fight is basically the same as the last time you fought Sakon only this time you have a bigger area to fight him in, which is a major blessing! In fact there is so much space this time that you do not even have to worry about blocking if you follow the method below. At the start of the battle run directly behind him and start attacking. He's much easier to stun this time so you'll be able to hit him a bit more than the last battle, but be sure to back off when he resummons his fire shield around him after stunning him. Run to one of the ends of the stage and wait for him to do three swings then run behind him and attack him. Run away when he starts to summon his fire shield once again then wait for the three hits. Get behind him again and attack. Wash, rinse, repeat and you'll have him down in no time! If you hit him with Tenkai's Hell Jab while he is stunned you can wear him down very quickly. Tap the [] button to keep the Hell Jab going. Boss - Genma Generals With the power of the Oni activated, you will be invincible during this fight so you can't lose. Use /\ slices to speed up the battle. Boss - Hideyoshi For the first part of this battle you will be invincible once again. Use /\ slashes to quickly take Hideyoshi's life down. Once he nears half of his life, the real battle will begin. He will summon more power and his attacks will become more aggressive plus they will now take damage from you. Use /\ to hit him, but be sure to guard immediately after hitting him since he will most likely retaliate with an energy shot. He will release a bunch of energy spheres around the area during the fight. The energy spheres are the main things that make this battle annoying since you will constantly have to watch out for them while chasing him and they will break your guard to where his other moves will hit you. He may sometimes stop and shoot some of his power into the energy spheres, which will connect them all with electricity as they move around the area. The electricity is blockable, but the spheres will break your guard to where the electricity will hit if they pass by you, so it is best to try to hit Hideyoshi while he charges the spheres with his power if possible. If you keep hitting him, the energy spheres will eventually disappear and he will have to summon more. The more aggressive you are during this battle, the easier the battle will be. This battle takes patience, but if you block directly after hitting him and dodge his spheres well then you will not have to use any recovery items to defeat him. /\ /\ [WTST08] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / ____ STAGE 8 ____ \ \_____________________________/ Onimusha Awoken \_____________________________/ \_________________/ ********************************** Mount Hiei ********************************* = Forest Path = Rush down the path ahead and a cutscene will play that will introduce you to one of the more annoying enemies in this game, the Disc Thrower Genma. These enemies will constantly hop around the area and toss energy disc from long range. They can be hard to catch at times, but they will annoy you pretty badly when mixed with other enemies, so try to hunt them down first. Genma Soldiers will accompany them this time. Set Ohatsu's command to "Cover fire" to help you out a bit. Grab the RARE MUSHROOMS near the bottom of the fallen tree and continue forward. = Ancient Forest = Solve the puzzle box to the side to get a CHARON'S BELL and save your game at the Enchanted Mirror.

Further ahead more Disc Thrower Genma will appear. = Forest Clearing = A MEDICINE LV2 is lying off to the side. Soldier Genma will teleport into the area and attack. Walk down the path in the back to continue. You will reach another clearing. There is a puzzle box in the back of the left path with Soki's ONI CUTTER inside, but a Gacha and a Don Gacha will teleport into the area after you approach it. Be sure to have Ohatsu set to "Cover fire" and use Oni Magic to chain kill them. Try to work them away from each other for the best results. Make sure to get the Oni Cutter since you will definitely need it! When you enter the next area a cutscene will start.

Target: Don Gacha X3 Time Left: 2:00 Oni Magic Critical Chains are the key to winning this battle. Work on the two Don Gacha's on the right side first. Knock them down with a Critical Chain then slash at them while they get up. You just basically have to be leveled up enough to take off some good damage to finish this test of valor. If you see that a Don Gacha is about to hit you then quickly use Oni Magic on him. Your partner can help out a bit, but make sure to have him guard if the Don Gachas continually knock him down. Gold: Ground Gloves Silver: Secret Med LV2 Bronze: Wildflower >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In the back of the building you will find a FRIENDSHIP SCARF in the chest to the right and a Red Soul Altar to the left. Run up the stairs. = Pagoda Remains = Near the top of the stairs a MT. HIEI LEGEND 1 file will be lying on the ground. At the very top you will find a chest with Ohatsu's GUARDIAN inside, some RARE MUSHROOMS off to the right side, and an Enchanted Mirror to the right. Start powering up the Oni Cutter now! The Bomber Genma will be introduced after you collect the Guardian from the chest. These enemies will lay down bombs near you then run off as the bomb explodes. The bomb is unblockable so you must keep your distance from it. Disc Thrower Genma will jump down from the trees eventually. Head to the left path. = Forest Path = Bomber Genma will teleport into the area eventually as you run down the path along with some Soldier Genma. = Temple Entrance = Grab the FOSSILIZED BONE in the chest to the left and go through the shrine door to find plenty of Bombers and Soldier Genma. = Lazuline Hall Courtyard = A file on MT. HIEI LEGEND 2 will be lying next to the tree to the right. Run up the stairs and grab the SECRET MED LV1 to the left and save your game at the Enchanted Mirror then enter the temple. Make sure to power up the Oni Cutter. ** For the parts below, make sure to look at your map on the game (Select) when comparing it to the diagrams to help you out. Please note that the Exit Portal will be random and will be one of the three portals on that floor. You must go to the Candle Room on each floor in order to know what portal to use in order to make it to the next floor. The RED candle will show you the correct portal and BLUE candle will show you your current room. = Oni Mansion First Floor = Collect the ONI MANSION MAP from the side because you definitely will need it. Move up one room and grab the --ORANGE KEY-- from the floor. The candles will show you which room you need to get to in order to reach the next level. You will need to enter the correct portal in the correct room in order to proceed deeper into the Oni Mansion. If you choose the wrong portal then you will be teleported back to the current floor. From the candle room, turn right and go all the way to the room marked with the Orange Key at the bottom. There will be an Invisible Genma inside along with a chest that contains some FANGS. Go all the way to the top right room on the map and grab the MEDICINE LV 2 then make your way to the Exit Portal as shown in the Candle Room (it is one of the three portals on this floor). ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | | | | | | | | |-| - |-| Medicine | | |-| - |-| Lv2 | | | | | | | | | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | | | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | | | | | | | | - CANDLE - - | | - ROOM - - | | | |Orange Key | | | | | ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- | | | | | | | | ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- | | | | | | | | | - * START - - | | - - - | | | | | | | | | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | | | | | | | | |-| <-ORANGE - - | | |-| <- KEY - - | | | | | | | | | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ALL CAPS = Important Room, Important Enemy, Barred/Unlockable Door | | | | Lowercase = Item, Puzzle Box | | | | * = Start | -------------------------------------------------------------------- = Oni Mansion Second Floor = A Mushroom Genma will appear and summon electric spheres to guard the doors all around you. Use thrust attacks with the Oni Cutter to cut the Mushroom Genma down quickly. Make sure to move back when it starts to shake to avoid the poison. You need to make it to the room on the right side of where you start to get the last Mushroom Genma and to get rid of the electric spheres in the other rooms. The door to your right is barred so go left and go all the way around to it. Fight off the second Mushroom Genma to get rid of the rest of the electric spheres. Unbar the door that leads back to the start. Grab the ONI MED LV2 in the bottom right room and the --ORANGE KEY-- from the top right room.

Don't continue into the room with the Invisible Genma yet, go to the room on the right (look at map) and pick up the --PURPLE KEY-- in the far right middle room. Unbar the door and head to the room with the Invisible Genma. Unlock the door on the south side using the Purple Key. Unbar all the doors on the south side and collect the --ORANGE KEY-- and the INVENTION NOTES in the chest. A word of warning, when you unlock the door with the Orange Key, prepare to block when you enter the next room since two electric spheres joined by an electric current will be moving around the room. As long as you are blocking they cannot hit you. Enter the room with the Mushroom Genma and defeat him to get rid of all the electric spheres and grab the WARRIOR'S CODE from the chest.

Defeat the Door Guardian blocking the locked door and go down two room to find the --ORANGE KEY--. Run back up two rooms and unlock the door with the Orange Key to find the --PURPLE KEY-- and a puzzle box containing a BLUE BELL in the next room. Run back to the room with the spinning electric sphere and the Door Guardian. Stand to either side and defeat the Door Guardian VERY carefully. Make sure to watch for his laser! Unlock the door with the Purple Key and go up one room to find the --BLUE KEY--. Go down two rooms to find a Door Guardian guarding a barred door and a Mushroom Genma in the room right beside you. Defeat the Door Guardian and unbar the door then take out the Mushroom Genma by standing in the doorway and thrusting at him. A Bomber will teleport into the room after you destroy the Mushroom Genma. Solve the puzzle box north of that room to find a DRAGON OF PEACE charm. Go down to the middle south to find the --GREEN KEY--. Return to the room across from the Candle Room to unlock the door and enter the Candle Room. Run back to the room where you found the Purple Key and use the Blue Key on the locked door. Grab the MEDICINE LV3 from the chest, but don't go through the portal in that room. Run all the way to whichever of the three portals is the Exit Portal to exit the fifth floor and start a cutscene. ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | | | | | |Purple Key | | CANDLE |-| <-GREEN | | Medicine |-| <-BLUE | | ROOM |-| <-KEY | | Lv3 |-| <-KEY | | | | | | | |Puzzle Box2| ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | | | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | | | | | | ^^ | |Puzzle Box3 - |-| <-PURPLE - ORANGE | | - |-| <-KEY - KEY | | | | | | | | | ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- | | | | | | | | ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- | | | | | | | | | MUSHROOM - UNBAR-> |-| - | | - DOOR-> |-| - | | | | | | | | | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | | | | | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | | | | |(SAVE) | | | | |-| Green | | * START |-| <-UNBAR | | |-| Key | | |-| <-DOOR | | | | | | | |Orange Key | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- PUZZLE BOX #2 - Oni Mansion - Fifth Floor (1) ----------- (2) ----------- (3) ----------- (4) ----------- | o * * | | o o o | | o o o | | o o o | | | | | | | | | | o * * | | * * o | | o o o | | o o o | | | | | | | | | | o o o | | * * o | | o o o | | o * * | | | | | | | | | | o o o | | o o o | | * * o | | o * * | | | | | | | | | | o o o | | o o o | | * * o | | o o o | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- PUZZLE BOX #3 - Oni Mansion - Fifth Floor (1) ----------- (2) ----------- (3) ----------- | o o o | | o o o | | o * * | | | | | | | | * * o | | * * o | | o * * | | | | | | | | * * o | | * * o | | o o o | ----------- ----------- ----------- = Oni Mansion Top Floor = Boss - Gargant Use the Oni Cutter for this battle. In order to hit this boss you will have to break his weapon. When the battle starts, run up and hit him until he jumps away or jumps behind you, then hit him a few more times until he jumps again. Usually he will jump away after three hits, sometimes less. NEVER do the full combo in this battle or he will most likely hit you while you recover. You will have to constantly follow this boss around the room as you hit him. He will block each hit as long as he has his sword. Eventually his sword will break and you will be able to hit him. This is where you can totally murder him if you know just how to hit him. Hit him with just enough hits to where you are about to go into the final hit of your combo then pause and use a thrust on him. Continue the combo after the thrust then right before ending the combo do another thrust. So your combo should be [], [], [], [], pause, forward + [], repeat. If you can keep this up, you can nearly kill him before he gets his weapon back. This method works even better with a 4-hit combo blade, but your most powerful blade will most likely be the Oni Cutter so I would suggest using that weapon instead. Eventually he will parry your attacks and his weapon will start to form in his hands again then you will have to break it like before. If you do normal combos (and knock him down) while he is weaponless he will regenerate his sword much faster, but if you never knock him down, like I suggested, then you will be able to get in plenty of hits before he regenerates the sword. All of his attacks can be blocked except for his force field move that he will do at the end of combos and while weaponless. Not all of his combos end with the force field, but there is no warning as to what move he will do at the end of each combo. Try to beat him without losing too much life since you have another battle after this one. Magic attacks work well against him when he doesn't have his blade as well. Hit him with a level 1 Oni Magic attack then follow it up with a critical attack to stun him - you can do another Oni Magic Critical while he is stunned. If you have enough Oni Meds you can actually kill him by doing continuous Oni Magic Criticals while he is stunned. This is actually easier than the other way, but you're going to need some Oni Meds to keep your magic gauge filled. Depending on how leveled up your blade is, you might need quite a few Oni Meds. Soki will gain the ONI ORB after defeating the boss. A cutscene will take place then another boss battle will start. Boss - Genma Ohatsu This battle is much like the last battle with Ohatsu except this time there is no cover for you or her. Block her bullets as you move toward her then attack her with a combo or a thrust attack (if you have the extra thrust move). Don't stand next to her as she gets up or she might hit you with a burst round. If she fires normally again, then hit her afterwards. Eventually she will grapple to another side of the room and you must make your way to her once again while blocking her bullets. She relies on burst rounds toward the end of the battle so make sure to watch out for them by keeping your distance until she fires normal rounds. Once you take all of her life you will have a split second to do a Sword of Purification move on her to purify her. It will say "R2: Purify" on the top right of the screen. Make sure to wait for that message to appear before performing the purification. Ohatsu will be dazed during the message. Use the Stab (Forward + R2) to easily hit her while she's dazed and end the battle. If you miss, she will regain all of her life and you will be forced to wear her down again. The Purifying Sword will always recharge after a while so you can perform the move again. HIDEOUT 6 Much more is now available! First of all, if you have a Warrior's Code and Invention Notes, allow Ohatsu to combine them to receive a Merchant Stamp for 20% off all of the Merchant's items while equipped. Your skills can now be fully upgraded. Attack has 10 slots available and every other command that was once transparent can now be filled to max level by upgrading your skills. Some new items are available in the shop. Talk to Minokichi and you will see that you now have a new "Dark Realm" option. Be sure to save before choosing it. The Dark Realm will allow you to go through 100 levels of Genma fighting and will provide you with a special item at the end of every ten stages. You can exit the Dark Realm at any time after clearing one level of enemies by entering the portal and choosing "Hideout". You should use this as you main source of leveling up for the coming stages. Be sure to keep a backup save at your Hideout just in case you feel that you need to level up more to make your way through the current stage. You also have access to the Oni Awakening Powers, which are exclusive to each chacter. Fill the Overdrive Gauge around the current Magic Element to use the Oni Awakening. Walk to the open door and try to exit to start the next stage. **************************** Mount Hiei (Backtrack) *************************** Return to the very end of this area, right in front of Lazuline Hall for the second Test of Valor. = Lazuline Hall Courtyard = >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Lazuline Hall Courtyard - Mount Hiei (Backtrack) Absorb souls within the time limit! Souls: 2000 Time Left: 3:00 The best way to finish this Test of Valor with a good ranking is to not worry as much about the Soul Absorber Genma that will float above you. Concentrate on getting as many Oni Magic Critical Chains on the Soldier Genma as you can to help increase the souls. Drain the souls immediately afterward before the Soul Absorber gets a chance to absorb the souls. It is best not to have your partner help you out since they will just mess up the chains. Ohatsu might be able to help you take down the Soul Absorber with her long distance attacks if you decide to go after him.

You can actually make them fire on other Genma if they are facing the right way. Here you will be swamped by an endless amount of Soldier Genma that will constantly teleport into the area. This is an excellent place to build up your Overdrive Gauge. Use Soki's Purifying Sword to kill the enemies and get Purple Souls to quickly fill your Overdrive. Defeat the Cannon Genma to get rid of the force field in front of the gate. The chest on the left contains a POWER JEWEL and you will find an A. CASTLE GROUNDS MAP next to the Enchanted Mirror. Go through the gateway ahead. = Open Area = >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #1 - Azuchi Castle - Open Area Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Crab Walker Time Left: 5:00 Stay away from the middle since the Cannon Genma will be firing constantly in the middle portion. This is a hard one, and you'll most likely have to backtrack to get a gold here. Take control of Ohatsu and fire constantly at the Crab Walker while you have Soki set to "Go All-out". Quickly change Soki to wait and recover when you see the Crab Walker readying an attack with his arm or jumping. Keep your distance with Ohatsu and keep firing. If you have a high level gun then you should finish him quickly. The annoying part about this test is that the Crab Walker will constantly jump to different areas so you will have to follow him quite a bit. You must beat him within the first two minutes for a gold.

The Spear Genma will rush you, but make sure to let them come to you so more Spear Genma do not come behind them. Grab TAKUAN'S DIARY 6 to the side of the Enchanted Mirror and switch to Ohatsu. Equip a weapon that will reach the Mushroom Genma in the back and shoot him from a distance. Do this for the next Mushroom Genma down the path ahead and this will save you a few headaches. Any type of rifle works well. A Don Gacha will appear as you move to the right. He's not much of a problem by himself if you have already defeated the surrounding Mushroom Genma and have Ohatsu set to "Cover Fire". Switch control to Ohatsu and move toward the area far down to the left of the folding ladder and you should be able to grapple up to the area above from there. Look for the blue glow. While on top with Ohatsu, run over to the folding ladder and unfold it so Soki can climb up. With Ohatsu, target the Genma Mushroom in the back and destroy it. This thing will summon Spider Genma if you allow it to. Two Don Gacha will teleport into the area - the second will not appear until after the first is destroyed. Grab the SECRET MED LV2 from the side and go through the gate at the end. = Mountain = Take control of Ohatsu and shoot the Archer all the way in the background on the side of the mountain before you go up the ladder. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Azuchi Castle - Mountain Carry out the technique within the time limit! Technique: Finisher X5 Time Left: 3:00 Equip your lowest level sword then hit the Tunneler Genma until you knock them down. Rush over and use a finisher to stab them while they are on the ground and keep tapping []. If Soki drives his sword deeper into the grounded Genma that will count as a finisher as well, so you can get a total two per knockdown if you tap the button. Don't forget that you can stab the Tunnelers while they burrow under the ground! If you return (from backtracking) to this mission with too high of a level, then try equipping your worst weapon. You can also use the Lift (Back +[]) move to uppercut the Tunnelers' into the air then stab them while they are on the ground. Another useful technique to do this quickly is to use Roberto's ground attack. Each of his attacks will count as a finisher. This means that you will have to backtrack to this stage after you get him however. Gold: Flame Blade Silver: Pearl Ring Bronze: Red Mushrooms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After the battle switch to Ohatsu and shoot at the crows until they stop teleporting into the area. They will stop eventually. Move to the area to the right of the folding ladder (stand away from the wall a bit) then grapple to the area above with Ohatsu. Run over to the folding ladder and unfold it for Soki then grab the ONI JEWEL next to the door. Go through the door to enter Azuchi Castle. = Castle Entrance = Run ahead and Soki will notice the force field down the hall and comment on it. Switch to Ohatsu and position her on the red block to open the shell above the door. Use O to shoot the inside of the shell and the force field will deactivate. "That damn Munenori..." indeed, since you will have to use Ohatsu to deactivate force fields like this one throughout Castle Azuchi. Run down the hall and defeat the Genma up ahead - use Ohatsu for the Genma in the distance and behind the force fields. Use the pole and grapple to the area ahead with Ohatsu then shoot the archer on the other side. Grapple again to reach the door on the other end. Ohatsu will comment on having good sight of the shell above the door. Stand in that place (it's actually further back) and have Soki step on the green square on his side to open the shell then shoot it with Ohatsu. Now Soki can get across to Ohatsu's side. Position one of your characters next to the lever and then the other next to the barred door. Pull the lever to lower the bars in front of the door then quickly switch to your other character and enter the door. = Elevator Room = Soldier Genma and a Disc Thrower will attack as you enter this room. Fight them off and grab the ONI MED LV3 next to the Enchanted Mirror. After saving your game, pick up the EMERGENCY PROCEDURE file next to the elevator. Don't you just love how madmen always leave their most important files lying around in the open in action games nowadays? Move toward the door with the Genma on it and blow it up with Ohatsu. Ohatsu will mention that she can see another device in the background that she can get a clear shot at. You can go either way and you'll eventually have to go both ways, but I'll start with the area behind the door you are closest to. = East Rooftop = Ninja Genma will attack as you walk along the roof. Pick up the NECKLACE OF PEACE in the chest on the outer edge and grab the AZUCHI CASTLE MAP near the lever. Take control of Ohatsu and move up the ramp in the roof to the right of the lever until you see a blue glow. Grapple to the pole and pull yourself across. Lower the folding ladder to make things easier when you backtrack to this stage later. Like before, position one of your characters near the barred door at the top and position the other in front of the lever. Pull the lever with one character then go through the door with your other character. = East Trap Room = Fight off the Soldier Genma then position Ohatsu on the top of the ramp and position Soki on the yellow square where the light is shining. Shoot the shell in the back with Ohatsu to disable the force field past the blades. Quickly switch to Soki and run over to the blades. The blades are set to where you can run past the last two in one run. Stay on the left side while running past them. Wait for the first blade to move all the way into the floor on the left side then run past it and stop. Wait for the second blade to do the same and then run past the last two blades in one run. If you are not fast enough then the force field will reappear. Grab the MEDICINE LV2 on the ground and operate --MACHINE 1-- in the background. One more to go. Don't worry about the stuff to the side, you'll have to get that when you backtrack. Return to the Elevator Room. = Elevator Room = Leave Ohatsu on the ramp as you enter then defeat the Genma and stand on the red square. Shoot the open shell with Ohatsu to get rid of the red force field. Move to the other side and shoot those annoying Genma on the floor below then position one of your characters next to the lever (look behind you) and the other character next to the barred door. You know what to do. = West Rooftop = A pole and lever will be shown to you as you enter the area. There are some INVENTION NOTES in the chest on the outer edge, next to the bottom door. Switch to Ohatsu and shoot those annoying crows on your way up the left side of the ramp leading to the pole. Grapple to the pole to swing to the top of the roof. Lower the folding ladder for Soki then do the usual for the lever and unbarred door. Position, pull, open door! = West Trap Room = Get rid of the Armored Genma first then take care of the Soldier Genma. Just like the East Room, have Soki stand on the yellow square and have Ohatsu shoot the shell in the background past the blades. Run over to the blades with Soki and move to the left side like before. Wait for the first blade to go in on the left side then run past the first two blades and stop at the third. Wait for the third to do the same then run to the other side. Collect the MEDICINE LV2 and operate --MACHINE 2-- then leave. = West Rooftop = Ninja Genma will attack this time. Go through the door below the ladder. = Castle Entrance = As you enter, a few Genma will spawn. Switch to Ohatsu to defeat the soldier Genma. Position Soki on the blue square then shoot the blue open shell with Ohatsu from the top of the ramp. This will disable the blue force field, but don't go that way just yet. Enter through the door near the blue square. = Elevator Room (Bottom Floor) In here you will find some more Genma, the --TOYOTOMI CREST-- next to the door, a LUCKY CHARM in the chest off to the right, and a puzzle box containing Soki's VICTORY GALE sword. PUZZLE BOX #2 - Azuchi Castle - Elevator Room (Bottom Floor) (1) ----------- (2) ----------- (3) ----------- | o * * | | o o o | | o o o | | | | | | | | o * * | | * * o | | o * * | | | | | | | | o o o | | * * o | | o * * | ----------- ----------- ----------- Return to the Elevator Room top floor via the Castle Entrance you were just at. = Elevator Room = Power up Soki's Victory Gale as much as you can so you'll have a weapon as powerful as the Oni Cutter, plus you'll be able to use Oni Magic with it - not a bad combination. Walk up the elevator door below the rotating gears to the side and enter the elevator. = Walkway to Roof = Place the Toyotomi Crest on the door in front of you and enter the door for a cutscene. = Rooftop of Azuchi Castle = Boss - Munenori This fight is very similar to the last battle and if you are using Soki's Victory Gale it will be just as easy since Munenori will not be able to counter you with his jumping counter. Like last time, if you do not use a 4-hit sword then he will counter your fifth hit with his reverse jumping slash. He will still have all the same moves from last time - the usual combo, crow attack, slash then unblockable stab, sand attack while getting up, etc. Use Oni Magic with your weapon to really flood him with damage. Hit him as he falls from the Critical Slash of the Oni Magic. You can set Ohatsu to "All-out attack" and she will help to slowly take his life down from a distance. He will not attack her unless you are controlling her or if she is right by you. He will have a surprise for you once his life reaches a little below the halfway mark. He will remove his eyepatch and will gain a teleport. This does not make him any harder than he was before except for the fact that you might lose sight of him for about two seconds. He will usually reappear somewhere right next to you after teleporting. If you unleash your Oni Awakening you can make very short work of him with /\ slashes, but it's really not needed. HIDEOUT 7 A few new items are now available at the shop. Don't forget to level up Jubei's skills at the Enchanted Mirror. ************************** Azuchi Castle (Backtrack) ************************** The Castle part is the only area that has some extra items, so head all the way back to the castle from where you start. Bring Jubei with you. = Castle Entrance = Switch to Jubei as you enter the castle and run down the hall ahead. Turn to your right and you will see a board that Jubei can cross. Cross the board and pick up the DRIVE MED LV2 from the piece of floor below. Go through the door that is on the west side of the room and head to the West Trap Room from the Rooftop outside (climb the ladder). = West Trap Room = Head to the back of the room with Jubei, next to the machine, and crawl under the wreckage in the back. Enter the door on the left side and climb over the piece of floor against the wall. Unbar the door at the end. Take control of Soki and go back through the door that Jubei just came through. Switch to Roberto as your partner and use him to push the block into the hole in the floor. Switch your partner to Ohatsu and go through the door on the other side of the block. Bomb the door off to the side with Ohatsu and enter it. Grab the ONI OF PEACE charm from the right chest and the ROSARY OF HEALTH from the left puzzle box on the rooftop outside. The left puzzle box blends in well with the rooftop.

Talk to the dead body at the top to receive a GEM OF BRAVERY. If the folding ladder is not down, then you need to bring Ohatsu back here so she can swing across the rooftop and let it down. Go back to the Enchanted Mirror and change your partner to Jubei then enter the East Trap Room via the East Rooftop. = East Trap Room = Walk to the back, near the machine, and walk across the board with Jubei. Open the door on the other side. Walk across the piece of floor next to the wall then walk across the board on the other side to find a puzzle box. Open the puzzle box to find Jubei's ODENTA blade.

Switch to your best partner at the Enchanted Mirror. = Rooftop of Azuchi Castle = Walk toward the left side to start Test of Valor #3. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #3 - Azuchi Castle - Rooftop of Azuchi Castle Absorb souls within the time limit! Souls: 2000 Time Left: 4:00 It is best to equip your worst weapon so that you will not kill the Genma Soldiers by hitting them with an Oni Magic attack. Hit the Genma Soldiers with Oni Magic Critical Chains. Try to work them together so that you can hit a bunch of them at once. Don't worry too much about the Soul Absorbers. If you manage to pull one near you then quickly change to your best weapon and defeat him, then switch back to your worst weapon for more critical chains. Genma Mages will start to appear in the last few minutes of this battle. If you see them, then you have taken too long and will not be able to get a gold rank. Gold: Horn of Susano Silver: Ultra Med LV2 Bronze: Lizard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Grab the GEM OF VALOR from the chest on the left side of the roof after the battle. /\ /\ [WTST10] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / ___ STAGE 10 ___ \ \______________________________/ The Mad Doctor \_____________________________/ \________________/ ******************************* Western Hospital ****************************** = Entrance = As you walk into the room ahead, a new enemy will appear. These Genma Mages will float around the room and summon Genma Zombies while they remain alive. Defeat the Mages as quick as possible with a Lift attack followed by constant slashing. The Zombies are similar to normal Genma Soldiers except they take a few hits to stagger. Grab the WESTERN HOSPITAL MAP from the small bookcase on the left and the ULTRA MED LV2 from the seat on the right. The handle next to the middle door cannot be used at the moment so enter the door on the right. = Bedroom = Collect TAKUAN'S DIARY 7 from the floor as you enter the room and the WARRIOR'S CODE from off the drawers next to the bed. When you walk to the back of the room a Big Genma Zombie will appear behind you. These enemies are much like the Gacha's with their attacks - they attack slowly, but their attacks take quite a bit off and they are nearly unstoppable. Get in the back of him and attack or prepare to block whenever the Zombie starts to vomit. Set your partner to "All-out Attack" then attack him yourself in order to knock him down. In the back of the room you will find a MEDICINE LV2 and the --POWER ROOM KEY--. Return to the Entrance and enter the other door across from you. = Patients Room = A POWER JEWEL is on the chair to the side of the Enchanted Mirror. Unlock the door to the right with the Power Room Key. = Power Room = Run up the stairs and push the button on the device up ahead. This will activate the handle back at the Entrance. = Entrance = A Big Genma Zombie and several smaller Zombies will teleport into the room. Defeat the Big Zombie first then focus on the smaller ones. After the fight, pull the handle next to the middle door to open it. Enter the elevator up ahead. = Surgery Corridor = Grab the HOSPITAL REGISTER from the floor up ahead and walk down the corridor. A Genma Mage along with a few Zombies will teleport into the area if take too long to activate TEST OF VALOR #1 by entering the middle of the hall. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #1 - Western Hospital - Surgery Corridor Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Dark Puppet X2 Time Left: 3:00 You can damage these enemies normally with any attack, but you must use Soki's Sword of Purification to finish them off for the final hit or they will regain all of their health and attack again. These enemies are extremely vicious when there is more than one, so make sure to use a partner. Tell your partner to defend once he or she is about to kill a Dark Puppet. Ohatsu with "Cover Fire" or Jubei with "Distract Enemy" works well for this part. Distract Enemy is by far the best, however, since Jubei will lead both Dark Puppets away from you. Gold: Meteor Shower Silver: Indigo Ring Bronze: Red Mushrooms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Be sure to save your game at the Enchanted Mirror, then open the door at the end of the hall for a cutscene. = Surgery = Boss - Luis Frois When the battle starts run up to him and attack. Set your partner to "Go All- out" and slash away! He will teleport around the area, but if you stay right on top him you shouldn't have any problems hitting him. If you hit him with an H. Splitter ([] + O) as the first hit after he teleports you can knock him down then stab him afterwards. It doesn't really take off that much more than normal attacks but it sure is funny as hell how fast he hits the floor. The battle seems easy doesn't it? Wrong. When you've taken around 25% of his life he will teleport your partner up to the second floor of this room (on the catwalks) then he will disappear and some knives will appear. The knives will float for a few seconds upright, then point toward you and fly at you. Deflect the knives with a sword attack and they will fly back and hit Luis while he is invisible. He will keep teleporting to different areas and will throw knives until you deflect a set at him. When he appears, start attacking him as quick as you can. He will most likely do his Sudden Death move where a transparent orange clock will appear around you and your partner. When the clock runs all the way out, you and your partner will die unless you have hit him enough times to cancel the move. The catch to this part is that you will have to use both characters to hit him. Hit him on the bottom floor until you cannot find him anymore. When he is nowhere to be found, that means he is on the second floor so switch to your other character (L2) and attack him while on the catwalks. You MUST stay totally offensive when he does this Sudden Death attack or you will die. If you have an Oni Awakening fully charged then that will save you one time if the time runs out. Make sure to keep your partner on "Rest and Recover" while they're on the top floor or the partner will loose health and might die from trying to attack Luis. Both Jubei and Ohatsu work well for this battle. Ohatsu can hit Luis while he is on the bottom floor however. He will keep up this same pattern of hurling knives at you and countering with a Sudden Death attack throughout the entire battle, only sometimes he will unleash an electric sphere that will float around the area or just go back to throwing knives around the room without the Sudden Death move. The sphere can be blocked. Toward the end of the battle he will have about six sets of knives around the area. You will need to watch the sets that turn toward you since he will sometimes try to trick you by turning two sets toward you at the same time then place one set back down and attack you with the other. He will always laugh as he points a set at you so use that cue when looking through the sets of knives. He will only throw one set of knives most of the time. If you ever see more than two sets pointing at you then all of the sets are aiming at you, and you will need to block or suffer major damage as they all collide into you. Even if you reflect one of the sets of knives it will do nothing to Luis when they all move toward you. HIDEOUT 8 (Lazuline Hall) New items are available at the shop. ************************* Western Hospital (Backtrack) ************************ = Entrance = Take Roberto with you as you enter this stage again. Push the block inward on the left side to find a Red Soul Altar and Ohatsu's BLACK INFERNO inside a chest. Push the block on the right side to find an ONI JEWEL lying on a desk. Keep Roberto with you and walk into the elevator up ahead. = Surgery Corridor = Walk directly ahead after exiting the elevator and push the block with Roberto until it falls in the hole. Grab Roberto's LIGHT GLOVES from the chest on the other side. Switch to your best partner and enter the room where you fought Luis Frois. = Surgery = Test of Valor #2 will start as you walk into the room. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Western Hospital - Surgery Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Diamond Time Left: 3:00 Soldier Genma will sit on the top floor and watch this match. Oni Magic Critical Attack the Boxer Genma at the beginning and slash at him while he gets up. If you try to attack him normally, he will either block your attack or counter. If he blocks, kick him then Critical Attack him as he staggers. The Soldiers above will jump down and attack at times. Your partner might help out some, but using a critical attack is the key to winning this battle. Gold: Enma Gloves Silver: Indigo Ring Bronze: Wildflower >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> /\ /\ [WTST11] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / _ STAGE 11 __ \ \_______________________________/ Dark Castle \_______________________________/ \_____________/ ******************************* Sawayama Castle ******************************* = Outside the Castle Walls = There's an Enchanted Mirror to the side if you need to change partners. Run over to the right side and grab the MEDICINE LV2 off the ground. Now, switch to Roberto and push up against the right side of the block to move it out of the way and reveal a door. Switch your ally to Ohatsu for now, then go through the door. = Castle Dam = With Ohatsu, bomb the door to the left and enter. On the other side you will find an ANTLER in a chest. Go back to the Enchanted Mirror and switch to Roberto. Go back through the door and pull the lever to the side of the first bridge to lower it. The device to the left is missing a lever and the lever next to the bridge is too heavy for Soki to move, so use Roberto to move the lever next to the bridge. Run across the bridge and grab the --FLOODGATE LEVER-- from the chest off to the right. Run back across the bridge and use the Floodgate Lever on the device on the wall in the middle strip. This will drain the water from the dam. Keep one of your characters on the middle strip then take control of the other and raise the bridge on the left strip via the handle so you can collect the DRIVE JEWEL from the ditch. Lower the gate back down with the other character. Have Soki stand on the right strip and have Roberto pull the switch to raise the bridge on the middle strip and collect the --WATERWAY DOOR KEY-- from the chest in the ditch. Have Roberto pull the lever again to lower the bridge then unlock the door on the right strip. = Castle Courtyard = Tunneler Genma and a Don Gacha will attack as you enter this area. An archer will be on the rooftop. Don't forget that you can stab the Tunneler Genma as they burrow through the ground. Switch to Roberto and push the block with the torch, closest to the door that you just came through, to reveal a door leading to a hidden cave - push on the side closest to the castle entrance. If you look on the ground, you can see where the block has been pushed once before; push toward that direction. = Hidden Cave 1 = Defeat the Axe Man - watch for his 2 hit swing. Walk to the back of the cave to find a puzzle box containing Robero's BRINNHILDE gauntlets. PUZZLE BOX #1 - Sawayama Castle - Hidden Cave 1 (1) ----------- (2) ----------- (3) ----------- (4) ----------- | o o o | | o * * | | o o o | | o * * | | | | | | | | | | o o o | | o * * | | * * o | | o * * | | | | | | | | | | o * * | | o o o | | * * o | | o o o | | | | | | | | | | o * * | | o o o | | o o o | | o o o | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Climb back up the ladder and push the other block with the torch on top to reveal another secret door leading to another hidden cave. = Hidden Cave 2 = You will surprise three Genma Soldiers in the back of the cave. Open the chest on the right to get a GOLD NUGGET and open the puzzle box on the left to receive the EMBOSSED MALLET. PUZZLE BOX #2 - Sawayama Castle - Hidden Cave 2 (1) ------------------- (2) ------------------- (3) ------------------- | o o o * * | | o * * o o | | o o o o o | | | | | | | | o o o * * | | o * * o o | | * * o o o | | | | | | | | o o o o o | | o o o o o | | * * o o o | ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- (4) ------------------- (5) ------------------- | o * * o o | | o o o o o | | | | | | o * * o o | | o o * * o | | | | | | o o o o o | | o o * * o | ------------------- ------------------- Climb back up the stairs and enter the castle. = Castle Entrance = A Warrior Genma will appear as soon as you step into the castle. This can be a very dirty fight with the range of the Door Guardian and his laser if you stand in the path of his laser. Try to lure the Warrior Genma out of the path of the laser and tackle him with Oni Magic to knock him down. Defeat the Door Guardian very carefully after the Warrior has been taken care of. The doors to the sides cannot be used anymore so enter the middle door after fighting the Door Guardian. = Folding Screen Room = Save your game. The door through the hole in the wall will need a key to open so climb the ladder in front of the hole. = Second Floor = Change to Roberto and have him pull the lever to lower the gate blocking the way then grab the --EMERGENCY EXIT KEY--. Climb back down the ladder to the Folding Screen Room and use the Emergency Exit Key on the locked door at the bottom. = Garden = A few Spider Genma will teleport into the area - nothing you can't handle by now. Climb up the ladder. = Third Floor = Rush to the walkway and take out the Soldier and Archer Genma. Switch to Roberto and punch the iron door (O) next to the ladder you just climbed. Just a little head's up, if you like to control Soki, change back to him right after pressing the O button when punching these iron doors - Roberto will still punch the door and you'll automatically go through. = Vase Room = The door in the back of this room will lead to nothing except for a few Ninja Genma fights. Climb up the to the left ladder and enter the room up above then switch to Roberto so you can pull the lever and lower the gate. Grab the DRIVE MED LV2 on the other side of the gate and have Roberto punch the iron door next to it. = Third Floor Save Room = The door to the left can't be open since the elevator isn't there anymore. Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror and enter the room up the ramp. This is where you previously fought Munenori and that damn Genma Wasp, except this time you will face... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #1 - Sawayama Castle - Third Floor Save Room Destroy the target within the time limit! Time Left: 2:00 Set your partner to "Go All-out" then storm the Genma General with an Oni Magic attack. It might be best to wait just a few seconds after he gets done with his Summoning Magic so you can knock him down and slice through all of his Spear Genma Reinforcements with one Oni Magic chain. Do not let up on attacking him! Use Oni Magic only when he gets up so that you will have a chance to slice through him. The General is built like a brick wall so you will have to pound, pound, pound! Gold: Time Gem Silver: Medicine LV3 Bronze: Lizard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you waited too long to activate the Test of Valor or exit and reenter the room then you will face a Genma Mage that will summon Spear Genma. Grab the ONI JEWEL from off the floor and climb up the ladder on the right side of the room next to the webbing. = Castle Balcony = MITSUNARI'S DIARY 1 is near the railing. Notice the two paintings on the wall? That looks like that Man in White that Soki keeps meeting depicted on the left side doesn't it? The other painting is some sort of "Hideous Monster". What do they mean? Anyway, examine the hole in the wall to find a shortcut to the dungeon of Sawayama Castle. = Secret Room = Grab the POWER JEWEL from the desk to the side and climb down the ladder. = Lopsided Room = Walk up to Fireballs carefully and snatch MITSUNARI'S DIARY 2. Don't forget that you can block the Fireballs. Carefully maneuver through them and defeat the Archer that will spawn at the other end. Climb down yet another ladder. = Kitchen = You'll interrupt a meeting between three Genma Soldiers. Apparently they know something we don't and they're not telling, so make them suffer! After walking down the ramp, run to the end of the room next to the ramp to find a Puzzle Box. Maybe those Soldiers knew the combination...damn! Never fear though, Berserker is here! PUZZLE BOX #3 - Sawayama Castle - Kitchen (1) ------------------- (2) ------------------- (3) ------------------- | o * * o o | | o o * * o | | o o o o o | | | | | | | | o * * o o | | o o * * o | | o o o * * | | | | | | | | o o o o o | | o o o o o | | o o o * * | ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- (4) ------------------- (5) ------------------- | o o o o o | | * * o o o | | | | | | o * * o o | | * * o o o | | | | | | o * * o o | | o o o o o | ------------------- ------------------- You will get Soki's ENRYU sword from the puzzle box. This is one awesome blade, especially with the attack waves that it dishes out per slash. Use it! Onimusha vets should recognize this sword. Climb down the ladder near the end of the ramp. A message will state that once you go down, you can't return to the room above, so make sure you have everything that you need before climbing down. = Roberto's Cell = On the floor you will find --ROBERTO'S PENDANT--. Well, now it's time to leave, so go through the cell door up ahead. = Front of Cell = Some Genma Soldiers will charge down the path to the left so be ready. Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror. Power up Enryu if you have enough souls. Change your partner to Jubei if you want to get to an extra chest in just a moment. Run down the path ahead and enter the room at the end to activate TEST OF VALOR #2. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Sawayama Castle - Front of Cell Carry out the technique within the time limit! Technique: Chain Critical X10 Time Left: 3:00 You should be a pro at this critical chaining by now. Be careful when dodging the new Axeman's attack since he will do two attacks in a row instead of just one. Just use Oni Magic on the enemies and chain together 10 hits. It will probably take a quite a few Oni Magic attacks to do this, but an enemy will always cough up a blue soul to refill your magic gauge. Tell your partner to wait, then stand at one end and start the attack on one of the Genma Soldiers then chain and repeat as they telport into the room. You don't need to be extremely fast to get a Gold Rank on this one. Gold: Sky Sword Silver: Drive Med LV3 Bronze: Wildflower >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lying in the doorway you will find --COPPER GEAR A--. Now we can lower that bridge that we previously left in this stage (from Stage 6). A Disc Thrower and two Spider Genma will teleport into the cave as you enter the Cave Lake area. Defeat them and run over to the path with the narrow strip and a chest at the end (left of the dead body). Switch to Jubei in order to cross it and pick up a PAIR SCARF from inside of the chest. Move to the right two rooms and place the Copper Gear on the device next to the bridge across from the doorway. Cross the lower bridge and enter the door. = Stone Pillar Room = Run down the path to the right to find a Puzzle Box containing Jubei's MASUMUNE sword. PUZZLE BOX #4 - Sawayama Castle - Stone Pillar Room (1) ------------------- (2) ------------------- (3) ------------------- | o o o o o | | o o o o o | | o o * * o | | | | | | | | o * * o o | | o o o * * | | o o * * o | | | | | | | | o * * o o | | o o o * * | | o o o o o | ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- (4) ------------------- | * * o o o | | | | * * o o o | | | | o o o o o | ------------------- Enter the cave directly behind your character after solving the puzzle box. = Waterway = Run all the way down the waterway and climb up the ladder. Move to the right and cross the bridge then you will find an Enchanted Mirror. Switch to Roberto so you can move the block next to the ladder you climbed just a few moments ago. Push the block into the waterway then run back to the Enchanted Mirror and switch to Jubei once again. Lower the stone pillar by stepping on the glowing square with Soki, then move Jubei on top of the stone pillar and switch to Soki then step on the switch again. At the top, grab the DRIVE JEWEL then use Jubei's special ability (O) to move through the crack to the right. Grab --COPPER GEAR B-- from the altar then leave. Run back to the bridge - keep Jubei with you - and place the Copper Gear on the device to lower the bridge. Cross over to the other side but make a turn to your left as you go across the drawbridge. Switch to Jubei and crawl through the hole on the side of the wood bridge (look to the left). Climb down the ladder to find a SMALL GOLD NUGGET in each chest to the right and left. Go back the way you came - change partners if you want - then enter the cave on the other side of the drawbridge that you lowered a few moments ago. = Cave Entrance = A Menteith will appear up ahead and you must defeat him in order to get rid of the force field guarding the path ahead. If you have Soki's Enryu powered up and you use your partner to distract the two Ninja Genma then you will not have any problems. Ohatsu's "Cover Fire" and Jubei's "Distract Enemy" work well for this part. Block the shockwaves while moving toward the Menteith. When you make it to him the first time, I would suggest using Oni Magic to knock him down. Pound him with constant Enryu combos and you should be able to knock him back down each time he gets up. The attack waves from Enryu really help out for this fight. After the fight, run back and switch to Roberto, if you do not have him with you already, then climb up the ladder to the side and go through the door at the top. Tunneler Genma will teleport into the Cave Entrance so either fight or run. = Stone Pillar Room 2 = Switch to Roberto and have him push the block to the left off the side. Now have Roberto get on the stone pillar to the right and have Soki step on the glowing square to take Roberto down a floor. Push the block into the waterway below and cross the block then climb the ladder to enter the cave above. This is that chest that you could always see from the Cave Entrance, but could never get to. Open the chest to find a FRIENDSHIP SCARF. Go back to the Cave Entrance. = Cave Entrance = Run all the way up ahead and a cutscene will play that will take you out of the cave. = Fox Gate = Grab the SECRET MED LV2 from off to the right. Be sure to choose one of your favorite allies at the Enchanted Mirror since you have boss fight coming up. I would recommend Ohatsu because of her long range. Boss - Genma Bug Didn't we just own this boss earlier...? Anyway, now you have to fight the same Genma Bug from earlier once again. He has the same exact pattern and has the same tough armor that you will have to pound away on. One good thing about this battle is that you will actually be able to change to your partner unlike the last battle with this bug. If you have Ohatsu you will not have any problems whatsoever since she can basically hit him anytime she wants to if you have a long range rifle equipped. Keep Ohatsu and Soki together but have them in a doorway. Shoot with Ohatsu while he attacks and then switch to Soki then tell Ohatsu to "Go All-out" whenever he stops moving his razors or sinks his razor sphere into the ground. Attack him with Soki's Enryu while he is stunned and Ohatsu will be blasting him from a safe distance. Instead of that, you could also stay in control of Ohatsu and tell Soki to "Go All-out" while you fire from a safe distance. Whichever way make sure that Soki backs off after a while to keep the boss from hitting him. The battle will still take a while but with Ohatsu's long range it will be very easy. Make sure to keep both characters set to "Wait and Recover" and only switch Ohatsu or Soki to "Go All- out" when the bug is stunned. Also, keep both characters in a doorway when the boss is not stunned. HIDEOUT 9 (Lazuline Hall) A few new weapons are available at the shop.

You'll automatically start with Roberto as a partner. Rush ahead and grab the SAKAI FACILITY MAP. A Warrior Genma will teleport into the room. Try to lead him away from the Armored Genma in the back, unless you want to deal with all three at the same time. Lure him down the ramp by guarding his attacks then get in the back of him and knock him back toward the entrance. Put Roberto on "Berserk" if needed. Now defeat the two Armored Genma, which shouldn't be much of a problem by themselves. Enter the door after the battle. = Research Lab = Save your game on the left side if needed. Grab the SAKAI C. TOWER file from the floor in front of the next door. For this area ahead, you will need to find four control devices in each of the rooms and destroy them in order to access the elevator to the right in the Research Lab. Take Roberto with you. Go through the door in front of you. = Main Lift Room = Look around at the doors and notice how they all have four colored dots above each of the doors. For this area and the areas ahead, I will always have the color of the circles above the door in parentheses to help make it easier on the reader. Please note that the lever on the lift is to be used to swing the lift around once you go up, the switch will take you up. Remember that the door you just came from with the save point has a red circle above it. The door (blue) across from you is locked for the moment so go ahead and position both characters on the lift then push the switch. Switch to Roberto and have him punch the door ahead so you can get through. = Control Device (Red) Room = Defeat the Spear Genma and the Soldier Genma that spawn afterwards and destroy --CONTROL DEVICE (RED)-- (rotating gears) with normal attacks. Grab the MAGICIAN'S RING from the chest behind the control device. Climb up the ladder next to the door you just came through and walk to the end of the walkway to find a puzzle box containing a PHOENIX RING. A Soldier and Archer Genma will teleport onto the walkway behind you.

Go back out of the area and pull the lever on the lift to swing across to the next door. = Control Device (Blue) Room = Climb the ladder to the side and grab the WARRIOR'S CODE and --GREEN CREST-- from the sides of the walkway. An Axeman will appear after you retrieve the Green Crest. Nothing else to do but exit. Ninja Genma will ambush you as you try to leave. Run back outside and pull the lever to go to the next room. Punch the door with Roberto to gain access. = Control Device (GREEN) Room = TAKUAN'S DIARY 8 is lying to the right. Fight off the Armored Genma in the back and destroy --CONTROL DEVICE (GREEN)-- behind them. Two Ninja Genma will appear after the Armored Genma have been disposed of.

Go through the door to find the --PURPLE CREST-- then exit and go back to the lift. Spider Genma will attack on the way back. Pull the lever on the lift and then press the switch to go back down. The door (Red) to the right will lead you back to the Enchanted Mirror in the Research Lab. Enter the door (Green) to the left. = Green Room = A Mushroom Genma will teleport into the area below but ignore him for now. Enter the room next to the Yellow Enchanted Mirror then go up the ladder. Ninja Genma will attack as you enter the next room so be ready. Climb up the next ladder and go through the door to find a Red Soul Altar. Go back to the room with the Yellow Enchanted Mirror. Several Genma will teleport into the room next to the one you're going to. Switch your partner to Ohatsu at the Yellow Enchanted Mirror and use her to shoot at the Genma Mushroom from above or just take it down with Soki's Enryu. Let both of the folding ladders on the sides down. Use Ohatsu to grapple to the other side to let down the second one. Climb back up the middle ladder (in front of the Green Crest Door). = Control Device (Green) Room = Go up the ladder to the left and enter the door. You will find a MEDICINE LV3 in the chest. Exit the room and use Ohatsu to grapple to the other side of the walkway in front of you. The chest on the other side contains INVENTION NOTES. Go back down the ladders and get back to the room with the folding ladders and Mushroom Genma. = Green Room = Go ahead and switch your partner to Roberto. Climb up the right folding ladder and climb up the ladder to the right on the other side. = Control Device (Yellow) Room = Two Invisible Genma will attack.

Position both character on the lift and press the switch to make it go up. Don't enter the first door. Pull the switch one time so it will move to the left. Use Roberto once again to punch through the iron door. Go down the ladder in the room ahead and collect the POWER JEWEL from the floor and use the Purple Crest you got from earlier on the Purple Crest door. Rush straight ahead and grab the --CONTROL DOOR KEY--. Oh, great, now we have to get back to that locked blue door. Go back to the lift. A Don Gacha and two Disc Throwers will ambush you on the way back. Pull the lever to move the lift to the left then press the switch on the wall. Enter the door (Green) to the left. = Green Room = Climb down the folding ladder and climb up the next ladder then punch the door on the other side with Roberto. That Mushroom Genma in the middle will spawn every time you enter this room unfortunately. Use the Control Door Key on the door (Blue) to the right as you exit through the iron door. Climb the ladder and then destroy --CONTROL DEVICE (BLUE)--. You should receive a message on the screen telling you that all of the machines (Control Devices) have been destroyed and the elevator in the Research Lab is working. Grab the FRIENSHIP SCARF in the chest behind the Control Device before exiting the room. On the way back a Genma Warrior and two Armored Genma will attack. Return to the room with the Mushroom Genma and climb up and down the folding ladders and open the door on the other side. Enter the door (Red) on the side to get back to the Research Lab. = Research Lab = Finally! Save your game and switch to Ohatsu, then open the elevator door across from the Enchanted Mirror. Once again, make sure to take Ohatsu with you if you want some extra items! = Room to Experiments = As you enter, walk forward and Test of Valor #1 will begin. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #1 - Sakia Facility - Room to Experiments Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Genma General X6 Time Limit: 2:00 Enryu is your friend here because of its attack waves. Rush to one side and use Oni Magic on the General on that side AFTER he summons the Genma Soldiers. This will net you a good soul increase every time and will charge your magic gauge as it gets lower. You will have to use constant Oni Magic attacks in order to get a gold here. Slash away at the Genma Generals while they recover from each magic attack. The Genma Generals will always appear two at a time on each side of the room. Gold: Ortlinde Silver: Oni Med LV3 Bronze: Red Mushrooms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When the chaos dies down from the Test of Valor, switch to Ohatsu and grapple across the hole to the Yellow Soul Altar and then to the items on the other side. You will find an ANTLER on the left side and a DRIVE MED LV3 on the right side. When you drain the souls from the Yellow Soul Altar, try to barely tap the absorb button with Ohatsu then quickly switch back to Soki to drain a yellow soul if he needs it. = Experiment Room = Several various Genma are waiting for you here. Travel up one of the sides and defeat the Archer on the bridge first, then go after the rest. Open the door on the other side of the room. = Experiment Room 2 = Run up either side and defeat the Mushroom Genma to get rid of the Invisible Genma. On the other side of the room a Door Guardian is attached to the door you need to open. Use Enryu with Soki or stand back and shoot with Ohatsu to get rid of him. Be extra careful of his laser! Grab the DRIVE JEWEL on the floor in front of the exit when finished. = Experiment Room 3 = A Boxer Genma will be up ahead. These Genma are extremely agile so it can be hard to hit them with normal combos because of there constant dodging. Hit him with an Oni Magic attack if he keeps dodging then hit him while he recovers. If you're running low on magic, block his attacks and wait for him to guard, then nail him with a kick followed by a critical attack - he will always guard eventually. Grab the GEM OF BRAVERY from the chest and go up one of the sides. An Armored Genma will be waiting on each side. On the other side of the room another Boxer Genma will appear. The chest next to him contains a BLESSED ONI EYE. Enter the door next to you. = Control Room Stairway = There is an ONI JEWEL to your left. Climb down each staircase and you will fight an assortment of Soldier Genma on your way down. A MEDICINE LV2 will be near the bottom along with an Enchanted Mirror. Ohatsu will assist you greatly for the battle ahead especially if you have a well-powered Guardian Rifle. Roberto cannot be used for the upcoming battle for reasons that the upcoming cutscenes will explain. Open the door at the end of the stairway for a cutscene. Boss - Mitsunari Mitsunari will start the battle by spewing dark essence in a row in front of him. He will do this throughout the battle. The dark essence will be spread either in a row vertically or horizontally or he will spread the dark essence in a circle around you. As he spreads it throughout the area, absorb the dark essence with your gauntlet when you get next to it just as you would absorb souls. Move out of its path whenever he spreads it in a row, but you can stand still when he spreads it in a circle - be sure to absorb it afterward however. If the dark essence touches you then you will be poisoned for a few seconds. Use an Antidote to cure the poison state or switch to another character. He will mix the dark essence spewing with a centipede arm attack where he will grab you, take quite a bit of damage, and stun you for a moment. Make sure to watch for his left arm to glow before the attack starts then block the centipede arm. Try to drain as much dark essence as you can from the field since he will have two other moves involving the available essence. For one, he will move to one side of the room then recite a one-liner as dark essence appears around him, he will release the essence toward you as well as any other essence you have not absorbed on the field. If you are close enough to him when he starts this move you can drain all the essence that appears around him then attack him while tries to shoot it at you. For his other attack involving the essence, he will move to the back and absorb the remaining essence on the field, which will refill his life gauge. He can be knocked out of this attack, but it doesn't work all the time. I knocked him out of it one time with Ohatsu's lift attack. Make sure to keep the essence VERY low when he nears his last 25% of life or he will regain nearly half his life if you don't stop him. His only other attack is a fan attack in which he will throw his fan and teleport away as the fan spins throughout the area - just block the fan. It is a good idea to use both characters for this fight. Have one character "Wait and Recover" while you attack with the other. You can actually use your partner as bait for when he starts the centipede arm attack by attacking him as your partner blocks the centipede arm. Use Soki's Enryu (mainly for the attack waves) and use Ohatsu's Guardian to slowly drain at his life bar. Your best bet for attacking him with Soki is right after his centipede arm or after he summons the essence around him then shoots it at you (drain it before he shoots then attack). Another good opening that doesn't appear as often is directly after his fan attack. With Ohatsu, you can run and fire at just about any time to attack him if you switch to her. If you want the battle to end very quickly, use Soki's Oni Awakening and attack him with constant /\ attacks. This battle will take a little while to get used to, but once you have learned Mitsunari's attacks you will mainly only have to look out for his constant spewing of dark essence. Keep him targeted at all times and always step out of the way when you see the essence falling. HIDEOUT 10 - Lazuline Hall Some new items are available in the shop. If you haven't been doing so already then be sure to level up in the Dark Realm since the next stage starts some of the more unfriendly stages of the game. The normal enemies for the next few stages are basically all elite enemies and will take you down in seconds if given the chance. Actually I'd make a backup save at this checkpoint if I were you. *************************** Sakai Facility (Backtrack) ************************ There is only one reason to backtrack to this area and that is found in the third Experiment Room (down the elevator). Make sure to save your game before attempting this Test of Valor. = Experiment Room 3 = Walk to the back of the room to start Test of Valor #2. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Sakia Facility - Experiment Room Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Genma General Time Left: 3:00 There is only one Genma General to defeat. Simple enough eh? No, no it isn't. This general is built like a brick wall and has one unblockable move that will take half of your life if you allow it to hit you. When you see him raise his sword behind his back, back off! He will jump into the air and slam the ground with his sword, creating a vortex of darkness that will take off over half your life if you step in it. Unfortunately, the dark vortex will stay on the ground for quite a while and he will be able to attack you while it remains. If the dark vortex catches you, be sure to block his attacks since the vortex will keep you contained inside. To make matters even worse he will summon Elite Ninja Genma the entire time. You are going to have to have a VERY powerful weapon mixed with tons and tons of equipment to boost your attack to get a Gold Rank on this one. Equip your most powerful character with a Fudo Horn, Horn of Susano, Commander's Ring, and a Wolf Ring (have him in critical condition). Have your partner set to "Go All-out" at the beginning and try to stay on top of the Genma General and wait until he summons his Ninja Genma followers. Hit him the whole time he summons them and after he summons the Ninja Genma, right before they attack you, use an Oni Magic Critical Attack and slice through the Genma General and all three Ninja Genma. While the Genma General is down, switch to your most powerful character while having your partner "Go All-out" and slash away! You must beat him within thirty seconds to get a gold ranking. When there is still a Ninja Genma left on the screen while the Genma General is standing, he will not summon any more - this is when he may do his vortex attack. I used Tenkai with a maxed level Fudo spear mixed with the above equipment to boost his attack in order to get a gold ranking. Here is another method that I received via email: "I simply equipped Jubei with the best weapon and attack increasing items that I had, then had her use her Oni Awakening as soon as the test began. I kept locked on to the Genma General, and simply used normal attacks to defeat him. I did have to use two Drive Med LV 1 to keep my my Oni Awakening activated, but the Slo-Motion effect slowed down the timer, too, so I had no problem completing in less than 30 seconds."

Run ahead and cross the boats in the water. A Disc Thrower and an Axeman will appear on the boats. Two Soul Absorber Genma will appear near the exit gate. Be careful when you go to pull them in with your gauntlet since these will attack as they get closer to you. Watch for them to perform a sudden rush while pulling them in then block.

Another Don Gacha will attack and Soldier Genma will spawn into the area continuously afterwards. Save your game and rush up the stairs next to the Enchanted Mirror.

Simple. = Above the Harbor = Notice the two levers off to the side of the drawbridge? Position your partner next to one, then pull the other with Soki to lower it. You need the Lubricating Oil from Building 8 in the last area as well. When you reach the middle of the bridge, Machine Gunner Genma will appear on each side. Use your Oni Magic to slice through the one ahead of you before he has the chance to shoot. All of their attacks can be blocked, but they attack quite frequently and can get very aggressive so always deal with them first in a crowd. Slash them as they try to get up from a magic attack then attack them again with Magic if needed.

They will reappear every time you exit a building. Grab the POWER JEWEL off the barrel to the side of the Enchanted Mirror then explore the buildings.

[Step 1] You will need to arrange the numbers from the paintings in each of the warehouses, along with there respective warehouse number, in order from smallest to largest based on the painting number. VI-1, II-2, V-3, IV-4, III=5, I-6 [Step 2] Then you will need to take the numbers from the paintings out of the list. The first three remaining numbers from the warehouses will be the correct code combination for the exit gate. ----------- | VI, II, V | IV, III, I ----------- ** So the correct code is 6 - 2 - 5 ** Please, feel free to print this out and fill out your setup: Building I = ___ _____________ Building II = ___ _____________ Building III = ___ _____________ Building IV = ___ _____________ Building V = ___ _____________ Building VI = ___ _____________ If you just figured out the code and you want to get on with the rest of the walkthrough then hit Ctrl+F and type in the statement "I did it Berserker!" to read the next section; if not then read below. Alright, if you still do not understand the above explanation then look at this SUPER descriptive method below. I have used a new painting setup for this description so the code will be different. (look back at my diagram to figure out which building is which) [Step 1] Write down your building and painting setup as shown below: My setup: Your setup: Building I = 4 Wolves Building I = ___ _____________ Building II = 1 Whale Building II = ___ _____________ Building III = 2 Elephants Building III = ___ _____________ Building IV = 5 Birds Building IV = ___ _____________ Building V = 6 Butterflies Building V = ___ _____________ Building VI = 3 Bears Building VI = ___ _____________ [Step 2] Arrange the setup so that the paintings are in order from least to greatest with their respective building numbers as shown below: My setup: Your setup: Building II = 1 Whale Building ___ = ___ _____________ Building III = 2 Elephants Building ___ = ___ _____________ Building VI = 3 Bears Building ___ = ___ _____________ Building I = 4 Wolves Building ___ = ___ _____________ Building IV = 5 Birds Building ___ = ___ _____________ Building V = 6 Butterflies Building ___ = ___ _____________ [Step 3] Take the paintings out of the setup completely so that only the building numbers remain: My setup: Your setup Building II = Building ___ = Building III = Building ___ = Building VI = Building ___ = Building I = Building ___ = Building IV = Building ___ = Building V = Building ___ = [Step 4] Remove the last three building numbers and the three remaining building numbers will be your code. My code: Your code: Building II Building ___ Building III Building ___ Building VI Building ___ My code is ** 2 - 3 - 6 ** Your code is ** ___ - ___ - ___ ** Basically you just take the first three building numbers from the setup after you have put them in order from least to greatest based on the painting numbers and that is your code. [I did it Berserker!] = On the Docks = Defeat the Axeman Genma then use the Enchanted Mirror to the side to change your partner to Ohatsu. The door up ahead is locked from the other side. Switch to Ohatsu and walk to the middle of the dock then use her special ability (O) to grapple on the pole and swing to the other side. Take care of the Spear Genma that appears then unlock the door for Soki. Switch your partner to Roberto at the Enchanted Mirror. Soldiers will appear on Soki's side and Archers will appear as you go through the door. Open the chest to the left for a MEDICINE LV3 and the puzzle box to the right for a ROSARY OF HEALTH. Equip that Rosary of Health item now since it will be Soki's best friend for the rest of the game!

Run back outside and be sure to save your game at the Enchanted Mirror behind the doors. Let me repeat that, SAVE YOUR GAME ONCE AGAIN at the Enchanted Mirror! Let your health fully recover with Soki while the Rosary of Health is equipped. Alright, now use the Dock Key on the door. = Dock = A cutscene will start as you walk to the dock. It doesn't matter what partner you have for this next battle since you will have to fight the boss with Soki alone. Boss - Sakon Remember how you could literally mop the floor with Sakon on that past battle because of all the space in the area? Well, this time you have VERY little space to move around in making the battle much harder. The battle has not changed a bit from last time except for the fact that he will be stunned randomly at times as if he is fighting off the mind control that he is under. That will be your cue to attack him with whatever you have available to you. Here is the way that I do this battle, and it will work with whatever sword you have equipped as long as it has a critical magic attack (not freeze). You might want to equip a Contentment Charm to decrease the charge of the Sword of Purification. Use the Stab move (Forward + R2) to throw your purifying sword at Sakon from about mid-distance after (ONLY after) he has charged his flame shield. If the sword hits him three times, rush directly behind the sword and hit him with an Oni Magic critical attack to take off quite a bit of damage. Hit him as he recovers with either Enryu or Raizan, whichever of your choosing. Now move away from as he readies his fire shield. While he moves toward you with swipes from his spear your purifying sword should charge back up. Immediately throw the purifying sword from a safe distance when it charges and, if it hits him three times, start the above steps once again. If the purifying sword does not hit him three times you will have to back off as far as you can and hopefully avoid or block his strikes (last strike only). Get behind him like the battle before and hit him. This battle has a certain degree of luck involved with it since the purifying sword will sometimes only hit once or twice. The sword will usually hit him three times if you stand mid-distance from him. Only by hitting him three times will you stun him enough to perform an Oni Magic attack. If he manages to hit you with one of his spear attack then you will probably be swamped by the rest of his attacks and his fire. Recovering with the X button will sometimes save you and give you a half second of invincibility while getting off the ground but it doesn't help that much because of his flame shield. If he traps you in a corner, you are basically done for, unless he knocks you out. As usual, Soki's Oni Awakening will help you out greatly at this part if you use /\ attacks, but it is possible to beat him without it. The battle is not hard if you know how to approach it by using the right attacks, but if not, then he will slap you silly with his highly damaging spear attacks while you lie on the ground helpless. HIDEOUT 11 (San Felipe) Ah, the gangs all back together, but we can't cue the Grease song just yet! I'm sure you know this by now, but some new items are now available at the shop as usual. Step into the ship's cabin to begin the next stage. Level up Tenkai a bit since he should be incredibly low in level (weaponwise) compared to the rest of the party. Make sure to boost his skills in the skill menu. ************************** City of Sakai (Backtrack) ************************** Head all the way back to the area where you fought Sakon for Test of Valor #2. = Dock = >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - City of Sakia (Backtrack) - Dock Destroy the target within the time limit! Target: Giga Menteith Time Left: 2:00 This Giga Menteith can take your life down very quickly with his attacks, but like a normal Menteith, he is very slow. Use Oni Magic at the very beginning to knock him and his Genma Disc Thrower companions down, then slash at him while he is down. If you want any easy gold ranking, then you should equip your most powerful character with items that will raise his attack (Fudo Horn, Horn of Susano, etc.) Set your partner to "Go All-out" after knocking the Menteith down.

Rush straight ahead and blast through the Zombie Genma horde. Look off to the right of where you started to find a treasure chest with a BROTHERLY SCARF inside. Check the fallen corpse beside the house before exiting the area to find an ABANDONED VILLAGE MAP. Walk up the trail past the Enchanted Mirror. = Mountain Path = Test of Valor #1 will start as soon as the Big Zombie rises out of the ground. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #1 - Abandoned Village - Woods Carry out the technique within the time limit! Technique: Chain Critical X5 Time Left: 1:00 The best way to approach this Test of Valor is to equip your worst weapon since you are no doubt leveled up enough by now to kill the normal zombies in one chain. Equip the Dragon Offer then use Oni Magic and chain your attacks to slice through multiple zombies. Only chain two hits per Oni Magic chain and get five chains to complete this Test of Valor. As usual, set your partner to "Wait and Recover". You have to be quick to get a gold! Gold: Sky Blade Silver: Medicine LV3 Bronze: Salamander >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Grab the POWER JEWEL from near the dead tree and run down the path toward the Enchanted Mirror. Save your game and continue down the path. = Side of Mountain = A whole horde of Zombies will be waiting for you as you enter the area. Watch out for the Zombie throw attack from the bigger Zombies. They will dig up a zombie from the ground and throw him at you - it can be blocked, but it will cause you to stagger. Use Oni Magic to chain through multiple Zombies and get tons of souls in the process. Off to the left you'll find a puzzle box containing Tenkai's EARTH LORD.

Target: Menteith Time Left: 1:30 This Test of Valor shouldn't be much of problem by now since you should be leveled up enough to do some major damage with Soki. Run up to the Menteith and use Oni Magic to chop right through him. Attack him while he is down or, if a zombie gets close enough, use Oni Magic on the Zombie and use him to chain an attack into the Menteith while he is down. This should be an easy gold if you pressure the Menteith enough. Gold: Star Killer Silver: Azure Ring Bronze: Wildflower >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Grab the SECRET MED LV3 to the side of the cave then enter the cave. An Enchanted Mirror is to the side so make use of it for it will be your last on this level! = Side of the Cave = Walk up the path ahead to trigger a cutscene. Boss - Yodo As you may have noticed a swarm of Zombies will attack you at the beginning. Fight off all the Zombie Genma then the characters will speak a bit after the battle. A cutscene will start after the conversation. Oh, don't worry the battle is far from over. Boss - Ophelia Now the true battle begins. Much like the Mitsunari battle from earlier you will have to absorb Ophelia's dark essence, only this time you must absorb it in order to hit her. The dark essence will float around her and will poison you if you manage to touch it. She will attack and summon Ninja Genma with her dark essence the whole time that you try to absorb her dark essence. Make sure to watch out for her flying kick. She will stab both insect arms into the ground right next to you then fly toward you while you absorb her dark essence. It's blockable, but it will cause you to stagger so I would recommend dodging it by stepping to the side since it's pretty easy to see coming, then go back to absorbing her dark essence. After you absorb all of her dark essence, she will be stunned, but don't hit her just yet - strike down the remaining Ninja Genma quickly then hit Ophelia. Use the Ninja Genma to chain an Oni Magic attack on Ophelia if you are next to her while fighting them off. Eventually she will recover and this is where the most dangerous part starts. She will run around the area and attack you with combos. The beginnings of her combos are blockable, but she will add a move into the combo that will break your guard so that the final attack will hit you. Make sure to keep pressing either to the right or left while blocking one of her combos so that you can sidestep the breaking hit. It is best to keep stepping to the side throughout this phase because of her unpredictable attacks. Attack her from behind while she finishes the combo. I usually set my partner to "Go All-out" during this phase. You can also set you partner to "Wait and Recover" then sit back and use your partner to bait Ophelia into attacking, then attack her. When she laughs, that is a warning that she is about to summon dark essence again, so get ready to absorb! This will be a long fight and a dangerous fight at that, because she is quite damaging, but if you learn her attacks you should come out victorious. Be sure to switch between your characters if one gets low in life. As usual, Oni Awakening will totally own her so use it if all else fails. Soki's Oni Awakening will absorb her dark essence for you when she summons it and will allow you to hit her even while she has dark essence around her. HIDEOUT 12 - Higo Outpost Some new items are available in the shop. If Jubei is at a low level, go ahead and start to level her up now so you won't go through some hardships on Stage 16 and the stage after that. If you want the boss battle of the next stage to be a breeze then go ahead and level up Soki's H. Splitter skill to max. The next stage is similar to Stage 13 in that you will use all of your characters for something eventually. Head to the stairs on the side when you're ready to depart. ************************* Abandoned Village (Backtrack) *********************** Return to the area where you fought Ophelia for Test of Valor #3. = Side of the Cave = >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #3 - Abandoned Village - Side of the Cave Protect the target! Time Left: 1:30 Our friends from earlier are in trouble again, and it's up to you to save them. This test of valor is much easier than the last one where the two soldiers were in trouble. Only normal zombies will appear throughout this battle and they will usually only appear three at a time. Use Oni Magic Critical Chains to slice through a bunch of them in one slice. Protect the two soldiers as much as you can and this one should be an easy gold rank for you.

Rush and grab the SECRET MED LV2 from off the floor in the middle and the two MEDICINE LV1's from the two chests off to the side. When you make it to the front door a Genma General and two Genma Mages will teleport into the area setting the stage for Test of Valor #1. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #1 - Courtyard - Shimabara Facility This is a tough one, mainly because of the Genma Mages with the General. Equip Enryu, preferably at max level, and rush straight ahead then use Oni Magic on the General to knock him down. Pound away as much as you can on the General. If you see the Magic Seals from the Mages start to form around you then try to run to the side or use Oni Magic right when they begin to close to avoid damage. If a magic seal catches your main character then switch to the other character. You're main enemy will most likely be damage for this battle. Gold: Raphael's Gauntlets Silver: Secret Med LV3 Bronze: Salamander >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Open the big gate after the Test of Valor. = Entrance = The chest to the right contains a BISHOP RING. Rush straight ahead and fight through the Soldiers then push the Machine Gunner Genma down the ramp so as not to awaken the Armored Genma in the back. Defeat the Armored Genma after the Machine Gunner then grab the ROOK RING from the chest to the side and exit the area. These new Armored Genma have a three hit combo that is very slow and very damaging. The final hit will break your defense. They have some incredibly tough armor as well so you may want your partner to help out. = Research Lab = MITSUNARI'S DIARY 3 is next to the elevator entrance, which is out of order for the time being, and the SHIMABARA FACILITY MAP is next to the Enchanted Mirror. Just like the last research facility, you will have to destroy some Control Devices to activate the elevator. Open the door up ahead to find the path to the main lift room. = Path to Lift Room = This room can be quite hard with the Boxer Genma matched up with the constant barrage of shockwaves from the Menteith in the back. Use Oni Magic to take out the Soldiers and try to knock the Boxer down. Leave your partner in the back under a "Wait and Recover" command and the Boxer should try to attack him. Rush toward the side of the Menteith and slash away. It's going to take a while to defeat him, but at least you want have to worry about the Boxer if he attacks your partner. Watch out for the Menteith's attack when it covers its body since it will be preparing a guard-breaking hit. After the Menteith is defeated, the force field blocking the path ahead will disappear. Grab the SHIMIBARA C. TOWER file from the floor and head into the lift room. = Main Lift Room = The elevator is not working at the moment so go through the door (Green) to the side. = Green Room = Switch to Ohatsu at the Enchanted Mirror. Walk over to the area on the left and an Invisible Genma will appear on your side and a Disc Thrower will appear on the other. Defeat them both and let the folding ladder down then stand to either side of the folding ladder and swing to the other side with Ohatsu. Switch to Roberto after lowering the ladder with Ohatsu then make your way to the other side while using Roberto and punch the door. Enter the door (Blue) to the side. = Blue Room = A few Soldier Genma will attack in here. Grab the --1F ELECTRIC PLUG-- and the --RED CREST-- from near the controls then leave the room. Punch through the iron door once again. = Green Room = Switch to Tenkai at the Enchanted Mirror then place the Red Crest on the middle door at the bottom of the folding ladders to unlock it. Switch to Tenkai on the other side of the door and talk to the dead body to receive the --BLUE CREST--. Go back through the door and enter the door to the left of the Enchanted Mirror. = Lift Control Room = An Invisible Genma will appear. Place the 1F Electric Plug on the control device to the side to activate the lift outside. Take the 1ST FLOOR DEVICE file from the floor and the COMMANDER'S RING from the chest. Go back through the door and switch your partner to Ohatsu then enter the Main Lift Room. Position both characters on the lift and press the button on the wall. Enter the first door that the lift stops at. = Puzzle Box Room = Defeat the Disc Thrower and climb the ladder to the left. Switch to Ohatsu and grapple over the broken part of the walkway.

DRIVE MED LV2 lying on the floor. Go back through the door and climb down the ladder. The control unit to the side cannot be used just yet, but we'll come back to it later. Grab the 2nd FLOOR DEVICE file from the floor and destroy --CONTROL DEVICE (GREEN)-- in the back of the room. Check behind the control device to find a chest containing a BROTHERLY SCARF. Go back to the main lift room. = Main Lift Room = Pull the lever. We will need Roberto for the first door that you move to so press the lever again. Enter the second door you come to. = Control Device Room (Yellow) = A few Soldier Genma will teleport into the room. Head to the right and destroy --CONTROL DEVICE (YELLOW). Climb down the ladder after destroying it. = Soul Altar Room = Drain the Red Soul Altar and fight off the various Genma that teleport into the room. Grab the --2F ELECTRIC PLUG-- from the control unit then unbar the door to the side. Go all the way back to the Lift Room, pull the lever a total of two times then enter the door you come to. Climb the ladder inside then enter the door on the walkway. = Control Device Room (Green) = Run to the end of the walkway then go down the ladder. Place the 2F Electric Plug in the control unit. Now you can return to the bottom floor! Return to the lift room. = Main Lift Room = Pull the lever three times then press the button to return to the bottom floor. Enter the door (Green) to the side. Change your partner to Roberto then get back on the lift, press the button, then pull the lever twice. Punch the door you come to with Roberto. = Control Device (Red) Room = Destroy --CONTROL DEVICE (RED)-- to the side and check behind it to find a puzzle box containing a FUDO HORN.

Go back the way you the came and climb the ladder to reach the walkway overhead. Open the door at the top then run all the way to the end of the walkway to find a DRIVE JEWEL. Switch back to Roberto as your partner then reenter the Main Lift Room. = Main Lift Room = Pull the lever twice then press the switch to return to the bottom floor. Switch to Roberto and have him punch the iron door to the side. Get to the Enchanted Mirror on the other side of the folding ladder and switch your partner to Jubei. Unlock the door on the side across from the Enchanted Mirror using the Backup Power Key. Climb up the ladder to your right upon entering the next room. = Control Device (Yellow) Room = Crawl through the hole off to the left with Jubei and destroy --CONTROL DEVICE (BLUE)--. You should receive a message on the screen telling you that all of the machines (Control Devices) have been destroyed and the elevator in the Research Lab is working.

Now enter the elevator across from the Enchanted Mirror. = Wooden Floor Room = As you walk into the room, Soldier Genma will attack. Walk forward some more and a Don Gacha will appear then Test of Valor #2 will start right afterwards. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Shimabara Facility - Wooden Floor Room Absorb souls within the time limit! Souls: 3,000 Time Left: 5:00 The quicker you get rid of the Soul Absorber Genma that appears midway into this battle, the quicker you will win this Test of Valor. Use Oni Magic to knock the Don Gacha down then uppercut the Genma Mage to knock him out of the air. Try to get rid of the Genma Mage first then use Oni Magic on the Don Gacha again to defeat him. Use Oni Magic to chain a critical through all the Genma Soldiers that appear then start to absorb their souls and keep absorbing afterward and you should start to pull in a Soul Absorber Genma. Once you take out that Soul Absorber Genma then you will have no problems collecting the rest of the souls and that gold rank should be yours. While pulling him in make sure to block his attack as he rushes you, then attack him from the back. Gold: Wolf Fang Silver: Secret Med LV3 Bronze: Wildflower >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Collect Soki's HABAKIRI sword from the chest after the battle then go through the next door. = Cherry Tree Room 1 = As you enter the room an Invisible Genma will appear. The fireballs will hit the Invisible Genma if you use your absorption to make him appear. You need to move along the sides of the room and avoid the Fireballs or block them as they go by. On the left side is a chest containing a POWER JEWEL. On the right side, you will find an ONI JEWEL in a chest. Go through the door across from you. = Cherry Tree Room 2 = You need to do the same thing for this room - run by the fireballs. Other than the Fireballs, there are no enemies in this room. There are two ANTIDOTES in the chests on the left and a WARRIOR'S CODE and another ANTIDOTE in the chests on the right. = Cherry Tree Room 3 = A Boxer Genma will teleport into the room on your side and a Gacha will teleport to the other side. The Gacha will not step out into the fireballs like the Invisible Genma did earlier so you must go to him. A RARE ANTLER is in the chest on the left side and be sure to grab LUIS FROIS' DIARY from the second bridge on the left side. = Control Room Stairway = Plenty of Genma will be waiting down the stairs for you. Most of them are Soldier Genma, but a few Dark Puppets will appear as well. Be sure to grab Jubei's SHISHIO blade from the chest off to the left at the first turn. Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror at the bottom. Charge up Soki's Habakiri as much as you can and use any extra skill points to level up H. Splitter. Take Ohatsu with you (charge up her Twilight laser) and open the door for a cutscene. Boss - Mitsunari What more can I say about this boss than what I did the last time you fought him? He is exactly the same. Use Soki's Habakiri on him and use H. Splitter if you're sure that you can get the attack on him. H. Splitter will take off quite a bit if fully leveled. If you switch to Ohatsu, then use her Twilight Laser. I'll go ahead and warn you that there is another boss fight after this one, but it's not near as bad as the current one. Don't be afraid to use your Oni Awakening to make the battle with Mitsunari shorter. Boss - Claudius (Centipede) Claudius is a very easy boss with predictable patterns. He will start the battle by moving around in the background and will eventually charge at your main character suddenly. The charge will break your guard, but he will not hit you afterward, so all you have to do is block. He will leave behind some standing dark essence that will poison you if you touch it. Run over to the dark essence during the breaks, in between his charges, and absorb it with your gauntlet. You can hit him with Ohatsu while he is moving around in the background thanks to her long-range attacks. He will charge you a few more times while leaving behind dark essence and will eventually stop and disappear. When he disappears move around the area in circles and wait for a portal to form. Right when the portal forms he will move through it into another portal and try to attack you in the process. Wait for his head to go into the portal then quickly hit him with a combo. If you catch his tail he will be stunned for a few seconds allowing you to get plenty more hits. Use an H. Splitter, if you have it leveled up enough, for some major damage. After a few more portal attacks, he will bring his tail up out of the portal by itself and will try to charge a laser and shoot it at you. Run up and attack him whenever you see the tail by itself. The laser that he shoots is blockable. He will switch back to dashing through portals after showing his tail a few more times then he will start the same pattern all over again from the start with the charging from the background. If your H. Splitter is fully leveled you can totally own this boss in about ten hits using the H. Splitter, if not, the battle will be a bit longer, but with his easy patterns he is nothing to be feared. Oh, how the mighty have fallen! HIDEOUT 13 (Higo Outpost) Some new items are available at the shop, yada, yada. I would very much recommend that you take Jubei through the dark realm just a bit to level her up for the next two stages. The next stage won't be too bad for her, but you will go through some hardships if she is not leveled up enough for the final stage. It's a good idea to equip her with an item that will boost her magic since her magic will be quite helpful for the battles in the next two stages. Keep her equipped with a weapon that can do a critical chain from the Oni Magic attack and it is good idea to equip her with a War or Contentment Charm since her special attack (secret technique) will be extremely useful in the battles ahead. Minokichi will give you MINO GORO'S THREAD as you depart. The uses for this item will be shown later in the game. /\ /\ [WTST16] /\/\ /\/\ _________________________/\ /\________________/\ /\________________________ / __ STAGE 16 _ \ \_______________________________/ One Way Out \_______________________________/ \_____________/ ******************************** Nagoya Castle ******************************** = Entrance = Spear Genma will rush you at the very beginning of this stage. They could at least give us time to listen to the narrative. Anyway, these Spear Genma are quite tough so chop through them with a Critical Magic attack if you have to. Up ahead a cutscene will show you plenty more Spear Genma along with two Tunnelers. Make sure to block when the Tunnelers go under the ground if you can't stab them. The treasure chest to the side holds a GENERAL'S CHOKER. The door in the back has a Door Guardian attached to it so carefully drain its life with attacks AFTER you have defeated the rest of the enemies. H. Splitter takes it down quickly, but make sure to watch for its laser. = Dried Up Well Area = Soldier Genma will continually teleport into the area ahead as you defeat them. Don't let them surround you because they can get quite vicious in groups. A MEDICINE LV3 is on top of the well and the NAGOYA GROUNDS MAP is across from the Enchanted Mirror. Make sure to have Ohatsu as your partner for the area ahead. Down the path ahead you'll run across two more Tunneler Genma. A puzzle box containing URIEL'S GAUNTLETS will be waiting for you to the left of where the second Tunneler appears.

Two more Tunneler Genma will pop up as well. Look out for the Warrior's long grappling shot - it has gotten much more long- range than in previous stages. Take care of the Archers behind the Warrior Genma first, and then focus on the Warrior Genma to remove the force field. = Castle Courtyard Entrance = A continuous assault of Genma Soldiers will pour in once you make it down the ramp. Two Don Gachas will appear next to the Enchanted Mirror. Grab the DRIVE JEWEL from near the Enchanted Mirror and rush ahead. Up ahead two Cannon Genma will stand along the side of the exit door and a Menteith will be blocking the door. Wait for the Cannons to fire, then rush behind them and kick them so that they fire upon the Menteith. Stand back and defeat the Soldiers while the Cannons slowly drain the Menteith. Check behind the right Cannon Genma to find a puzzle box containing Soki's TIZONA sword.

Target: Dark Crow X3 Time Left: 5:00 This is where you will definitely need Ohatsu! Target the Dark Crow immediately as the first one appears and then blast away with a laser gun. After one drops, immediately target another. Do not worry about the souls if you want a gold rank! The hardest part about this challenge is firing on an actual Dark Crow without hitting a normal crow or a Spider Genma. Keep trying, and boost your gun with souls at the nearby Enchanted Mirror if you must. Gold: Ususama Silver: Ultra Med LV3 Bronze: Sweet Herb >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Check behind the wall near the wagon after the battle to find a RARE SHELL. Save your game and enter the castle. = Castle Entrance = The Genma Soldiers will continually pour into this area. First of all, run behind the wall to your left and dispose of the Warrior Genma since he will try to hit you from behind the wall if you don't. Run back to the main entrance and fight the Armored Genma or run by them toward the puzzle boxes in the back of each of them. The puzzle box on the left contains a LOW KING RING.

There's a Yellow Soul Altar to the left if you need it. Grab TAKUAN'S DIARY 9 from the crate to the left and climb the stairs. = Top of Stairwell = Get rid of the Disc Thrower and chop down the Mushroom Genma then grab the POWER JEWEL next to where he was. Climb down the next set of stairs. = Stairwell (Left) = Once again, switch to Ohatsu to defeat the Archer in the back as you go down the stairs. You can also use her to shoot at the Warrior Genma on the other side (Mwahaha!) At the bottom of the stairs you will find another puzzle box containing Ohatsu's CLASS ZERO laser.

Give her a War Charm if you have one available and anthing to help increase her magic. Equip her with Masumune (max level preferably). Go up the stairs and grab the ULTRA MED LV2 along the way right before you reach the top. = Top Floor = Boss - Munenori As you probably have already realized, you will have to fight Munenori with Jubie alone. There are two ways you can approach this battle with Jubei. You can equip the Masumune for the best attack power and bigger damage with critical hits, but you will have to remember that he will always counter you after the fifth hit of the Masumune combo. You can counter his hit with Jubei's special attack (R2) if you stop the combo after the fifth hit. Instead of using Masumune, you could use Sky Blade and not have to worry about countering his hits since the Sky Blade will knock him down after four attacks. Either weapon is useful, it just depends on if you can handle countering him when you use Masumune. The battle has not changed that much since you last fought him with Soki. Toward the end of the battle he will start a new move in which he will make another image of himself and both images will attack you. The best way to stop this is to do an Oni Magic attack on either image and critical chain both of them to get rid of the fake image and knock Munenori down. Slash repeatedly on Munenori while he is falling from a critical attack. This battle is not hard if you prepare for it and have enough magic power for when he starts his image attack. HIDEOUT 14 This will be the final save point where you will be able to journey back to the other stages and find any items you may have missed. Basically, it is the final hideout in the game. Make sure to keep this save as a separate save. The fights ahead will be very difficult so it is good to keep this save as some insurance just in case you find out that you are not leveled up enough. Make sure to have all of your characters equipped with the best weapon and have their armor leveled up to about level 35-40. There are new items available at the shop as usual. Make sure to buy Tenkai's Fudo spear, as it will assist him greatly for the battle ahead. Have Jubei equipped with a Blessed Oni Eye or anything that will raise her magic. Soki should be on about level 70 before you begin this stage. All of the Rosaries are now available in the shop. It's a good idea to pick up a Rosary of Heart. The Rosary of Heart will help to make the final battle a bit easier. You will find one in the stage ahead, but it's good to have one for you and you're partner. ************************** Nagoya Castle (Backtrack) ************************** Go all the way back to the area where you fought Munenori. Yes ALL THE WAY back there! = Top Floor = >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TEST OF VALOR #2 - Nagoya Castle - Top Floor Protect the target! Time Left: 2:00 Well, those two are at it again! Now they have an uber Genma General chasing after them and you have got your work cut out for you while you protect them this time. The Genma General will start the battle by summoning two Grenade Launcher Genma. At the beginning of the battle, use Oni Magic to slice through all three of the enemies to knock them down. Equip your partner with a Fudo Horn, Horn of Susano, Wolf Ring (have him low in life), and anything else that will raise his attack then unleash Soki's Oni Awakening. Have your partner set to "Go All-out" during Soki's Oni Awakening. Defeat the two Grenade Launcher Genma very quickly before they have a chance to fire much then concentrate all of your attack on the Genma General. Keep him grounded with /\ attacks. When Soki's Oni Awakening wears off, quickly switch to your powered up partner and slash away at the General to finish him off while you have Soki set to "Go All- out". Knock the General down with an Oni Magic Critical attack if he gets up. This test of valor is very easy to fail if the Genma General decides to go after the two targets since he will basically kill them with one hit. It is an extremely good idea to have all three Rosaries during this battle.

Three Armored Genma will be awaiting your arrival at the entrance to Kyoto. Oni Magic is a must in this stage so use it freely. Get rid of the Archers first. Soldier Genma will be constantly spawning from the purple meteors being launched toward you. A SECRET MED LV2 is lying on the first stand to your right as you enter through through the entrance. Two more Armored Genma will be waiting at the end for you. = Connecting Road = Use Oni Magic on the Warrior Genma then grab the TAO MASTER'S RING out of the chest to your left and run to the exit. Soldier and Ninja Genma will be constantly launched into the area. = Bridge = Rush ahead as soon as you get into this area and start hacking away at the Menteith from behind. Use Oni Magic to knock him down then continually slash. Watch for the Dark Crows lasers while attacking. After you defeat him the force field behind him will disappear.

This is an excellent place to build up souls and levels for the final battle ahead. = Alleyway = Enter the alley to the right and pick up the GENERAL'S RING from the chest then save your game at the Enchanted Mirror. If you want to make any last minute adjustements to any of your four characters then now would be the time to do it. Up ahead you will face some Grenade Launcher Genma and a Warrior. Oni Magic Chain your way through them. I usually leave Tenkai in his "Prayer" command while in the alleyway to help boost Soki's attack for this part. Make sure to hit the Grenade Launcher Genma with an Oni Magic attack if you see them charging an energy shot since it is unblockable. = Cherry Tree Road = Midways down the road a cutscene will begin. Roberto will leave the party after the cutscene. When the cutscene ends, run back the way you came into the area behind you. Run to the camera's left side (up the stairs) and grab the ONI OF FATE charm from inside the chest on the left. Go back the way you came. Run up to the Genma Beetle in the back (nevermind the Cannon Genma) and get behind him then use thrust attacks to take him down slowly. It may take a while, but you will be safe from the Cannon Genma if you stay behind him. Run up the stairs and check behind the left wall to find a puzzle box containing a PROSPERITY CHARM. Open the door afterwards.

Tenkai will stay behind as the rest of party journies forward. Climb the stairs to Daigo Temple to trigger another cutscene. = Road to Fushimi 1 = After the cutscene you will be in control of Soki alone. Grab the FUSHIMI CASTLE MAP to the side and save your game. Journey up the path ahead to find three Axemen along the way with a neverending stream of Soldier Genma constantly teleporting into the area. When you make it to the Archer near the top, solve the puzzle box to the left of him to get a ROSARY OF MAGIC. Equip that to Soki now.

Grab CLAUDIUS MEMO 1 near the entrance to the castle. = Castle Interior = Save your game at the Enchanted Mirror then walk around the left side. When you reach the crack in the right wall use your gauntlet to absorb the souls from the hidden Red Soul Altar inside the crack. = 2nd Floor = Grab CLAUDIUS MEMO 2 and the MEDICINE LV3 up ahead. Two Hell Spiders will approach you eventually. An Armored Genma will be blocking the way to the final puzzle box of the game containing a ROSARY OF HEART. Equip this Soki. Walk through the hole in the wall to exit.

It's the same words from the first stage. Rush ahead and plow through the Don Gacha and Warrior Genma on your way to picking up the ULTRA MED LV3 near the top. Fight through another Don Gacha and Warrior Genma to reach the top and a cutscene will play. Boss - Rosencrantz (Fly) You will have to fight this boss with Roberto only. He seems nearly unhittable at the beginning of the battle, but that will change once you see his weakness. He will start the battle by spreading purple meteors around the area, which will release Soldier Genma. These Soldier Genma must be defeated in order to hurt Rosencrantz. If you take too long to defeat them then he will release some more and you will have to fight through them as well. He will move to both sides of the area and unleash poisonous gas on each side. Move away from the side that he unleashes poison on immediately while you fight the Genma Soldiers. If his mouth ever starts to glow a bluish color, block IMMEDIATELY since he will unleash a series of electric shots toward you. If Soldier Genma are surrounding you, he will hit them as well. If this hits you, make sure to press X immediately afterwards to get up or he will bombard you with the rest of the shots. After all the Soldiers are gone he will try to fly above you and land on you. This move is quite damaging so make sure to move out of the way. When he lands, run up and attack him. He will fly back into the air and do the same once again. Eventually he will fly a bit longer than normal then suddenly hit the ground and remain stuck for about five seconds. Be sure to get in plenty of attacks during the final fall. You will mainly have to watch out for his rearend (aka. his ass) when he lands since it sticks out so much. He will go back to his normal attacks after this phase. Defeat the Genma Soldiers once again to make him try to land on you. You can also use Oni Awakening and constantly spam him with /\ attacks when he lands. You'll be invincible so there is no need to move away as he lands. Here is another method that a reader emailed me with: "My strategy is the same as yours, to a point. After he shoves his bottom into the ground, immediately lock on and hit back + R2, then jam on Square. I had Roberto's R2 moves up to the highest level, and it did ridiculous amounts of damage to Rosy, not to mention that he paused every time he got hit, which slows his traveling speed to Roberto, and allows him to get out of the way in time easily." (Thanks to Kamisamaa Pendragon) Boss - Cladius (Centipede) Now for Tenkai's battle. This fight is very easy if you have a 3 hit combo spear! Like last time, block his charge attacks and absorb his dark essence when he leaves it behind. Equip the Fudo spear and wait for him to charge through the portal from the air and go through the portal in the ground and then hit him. You will take off tons of damage per combo, especially if you hit his tail. Nothing has changed whatsoever since the last battle. Boss - Munenori Now we are thrown into Jubei's struggle. I sense a pattern here. The only thing that has changed about this battle from the last time you fought Munenori is the fact that he will constantly do his image attack from the start. He will not wait until half life this time. Make sure you have something equipped that will give Jubei more magic since Oni Magic will help you a lot when he does his image attack. Hit either image with Oni Magic and chain that attack so that you hit the other image as well. You will still need to use Jubei's counter or a 4 hit combo sword to stop the counter move of his. The more aggressive you are during this battle, the easier it will be. Hit him from the side while he is on the ground to take his life down faster, but be sure to block the sand attack. Boss - Ophelia Now for Ohatsu's fight. This fight is easy if you can dodge her attacks well. Drain her essence like you did the last time you fought her. Drain, sidestep the flying kick, drain, sidestep. If you start absorbing from the very beginning and keep draining nonstop (avoid the kick of course) then she will not get a chance to summon Ninja Genma. After draining the dark essence, it is all a matter of moving and shooting. Use a laser or a shotgun and keep blasting her. If a Ninja Genma appears from her dark essence then kill him first. The only hard part about this battle is dodging her combos that she will do after she wakes up from the stun. Block most of the combo and sidestep the last few hits then blast away as you run to the other side. = Outside Fushimi Castle = Well, it's all up to Soki now. Will our hero prevail? Move along the right side of the tree up ahead to find a DRAGON OF FATE charm in the treasure chest. Enter through the hole in the middle of the building. = Castle Keep = Open the sliding door ahead of you to begin a cutscene. Boss - Hideyoshi w/Mech Block the Mech's gunfire at the beginning then target a leg and run to it then begin slashing it (or use an H. Splitter). If he tries to kick you then block quickly. If he leans over then back away since he will do an unblockable sword slice. All of his other attacks are unblockable. As you slice away at the legs, they will start to malfunction. Watch out for the electricity around the legs since it can hit you. Hit both of its legs enough times and the mech will fall over on its back. That is your cue to combo away at the Mech's top half while Hideyoshi lies helpless. A powered-up H. Splitter will murder him while he is down! When the Mech gets up it will sink its sword into the ground and release a power shockwave around it. Be sure to back off to one of the far corners of the room to avoid it! Go back to slicing his legs afterward then attack when he falls. This should be an easy battle with how slow his attacks are. Use Sword of Purification's Stab if you can't get close to him at times. Boss - Yodo (Cha-Cha) You will have the choice of a partner at the beginning of this battle. I would choose your most powerful character to join you. Tenkai with a leveled up Fudo spear would be an excellent choice. Alright, powerful and terrifying Onimusha, at the start of the battle tell your partner to "Go All-out" so your partner will hit Yodo as you avoid her attacks. Be sure to put on your running shoes with Soki since Yodo will unleash a powerful (and unblockable) twin laser directly at you. The twin laser will follow you wherever you go and will last for about five to six seconds per blast. Run in big circles around the room to avoid the lasers while your partner attacks her. She will do about three laser blasts (sometimes four) then she will summon tentacles from the ground to shield her from your attacks. She is invincible during this phase. She will summon Genma enemies (either three Spider Genma or two Genma Generals) and will try to catch you with her tentacles. When the ground below you starts to stir, run! If a tentacle catches you then switch to your other character and try to break your main character free of the tentacle's grip. The tentacle grab can be blocked, but you will stagger afterward allowing the tentacle to knock you down. Set your partner to "Wait and Recover" during this phase and use Oni Magic critical chains to defeat the enemies. After you have defeated the summoned enemies, she will go back to shooting lasers and repeat the phases. When she gets down to her last 25% of life she will start to summon purple fireballs from the ground that will daze you if they manage to hit you. Look for the purple fire puddle below your character. If she hits your partner with this then he/she will turn against you and try to attack. You may have to kill your partner if this happens. If you use Oni Awakening during this battle, you can basically own her with Oni /\ slashes while you are invincible, but there is no need if you have Tenkai with a leveled up Fudo spear as a partner. The computer AI of Tenkai will go crazy with that spear! If your Tenkai is not taking off enough then equip him with everything at your disposal to boost his attack. Equip him with a Wolf Ring since he will most likely spend much of the battle in critical condition anyway. A Fudo Horn may help, but remember that you need him to block during the enemy summon phase. = Castle Keep = I don't think I have to tell you, but just in case, SAVE YOUR GAME! Let the Rosary of Health, Magic, and Heart fully replenish you if you have them equipped while you set your ally to "Wait and Recover". Walk through the opening in the wall for a set of cutscenes. Boss - Fortinbras This battle freaking rocks and is an epic masterpiece of a boss battle! You will gain a whole new set of attacks for this battle. /\ will now unleash what is referred to as an "Ultimate Attack". You will want to constantly hit Fortinbras to gain more magic for this attack when you run out of magic. Most of Fortinbras attacks are unblockable. His phsyical attacks are the only moves that can be guarded against and even those will sometimes break your guard. He will start the battle with a projectile-type attack most likely. If he starts to breathe fire then move to the sides since he will unleash a huge flame from his mouth. This move will likely hit you a few times since there is apparently an invisible wall that will keep you from moving all the way to the side at times. Try to keep to one side and move all the way to other side while avoiding his fire breath. You can unleash an ultimate attack at any time while getting hit with the fire breath to escape it. He will shoot energy spheres throughout the area that will sometimes interfere with your dodging. If he shoots energy waves toward you then move toward him and you'll move under them. When he holds one of his fists back to hit you, guard his attack. If you ever see an attack coming that you do not have time to avoid or guard then unleash your ultimate attack at that time since you will be invicible for that moment. Eventually he will move to the background and fire ice shots at you from his fingertips. Move to the sides and stay away from the area that he is aiming at. If you block the attack then it will eventually break your guard and hit you. You will be frozen if you get hit by a shot and then Fortinbras will prepare a charge punch to hit you. The only way to get away from this attack while you are frozen is to unleash your ultimate attack right before his punch connects. If you keep tapping the button then you will be able to unleash the ultimate attack seconds before he hits you. Sometimes he will do the charge punch without stunning you. Keep stepping to the side to avoid it. He will be stunned for a minimal amount of time after the charge punch. If he ever holds back both of his hands and growls into the air with his head tilted up then he is pissed and is about to unleash what I like to call the ultimate smackdown. He will start out by punching at you with a constant barrage of punches - this is the only blockable part. He will then raise his hands into the air and fire ice shots at you then stop and breathe fire - dodge to the sides. He will end the combination with a two-handed smash that is unblockable and will totally own you if it catches you. Luckily, if you dodge the fire by stepping to the side, then you will most likely dodge the final hit also since he will only smack what is directly in front of him. If you get hit with the fire, then unleash an ultimate attack as he starts the final attack and you will avoid damage. He will be stunned for a very long time after this attack and you should take full advantage by hitting him with constant slashes to regain your magic and health. The Rosary of Magic and Health will help you out a bit during this fight so equip them if you have them. Boss - Fortinbras (Human Form) This is the true final battle. No really, it is the last battle in the game and it is definitely the hardest! Don't be afraid to use all of your recovery items since you will most likely need a few. This battle gets harder and harder as you take down this bosses life gauge. It's ironic how easy the battle appears to be at the beginning compared to the madhouse you face at the end when you go for the final few hits. Be sure to pick your best character for a partner and set them to "Wait and Recover" while the boss attacks. Have all the Rosaries Equipped and give your partner a Rosary of Heart so that both of your OP gauges will recharge if you happen to use Oni Awakening with either character. Alright, for starters, here is the way to attack the boss. Wait for him to charge his ultimate attack ("Feel the power building in me!") and an icon will appear in the upper right hand corner telling you to "Dissolve Barrier" by tapping X. Start absorbing some of the power from his attack as he charges then wait for him to hurl the meteor. The meteor should be small when he throws it so deflect the meteor back with your sword. Try to use an uppercut (Back + []) to deflect the meteor. The meteor will hit him and stun him. DO NOT stand still while waiting for him to throw the meteor or he will hit you with an attack from his magma rocks. Attack the small rocks that are on the screen around you after reflecting the meteor. You can have your partner help you for this part. There are only two at the beginning but there will be more later. Once you have destroyed all the rocks, he will start to float down from above. This is your big chance to unleash hell upon him by attacking him with your most powerful moves while telling your partner to "Go All-out!" Hit him with endless H. Splitters as your partner attacks. You will hardly take any damage from him while hitting him, but that is always the case. He will always summon more magma rocks after he recovers. If he ever yells, "I am the god of light!" then he is about to unleash a barrage of light shots at you. Release your targeting and run around in circles around the area when he does this to avoid it. Try as much as you can to watch for attacks from the magma rocks as they move around the area while avoiding this attack. When he yells, "You will not live defying the will of god" then purple bolts will rain down from the sky eventually. The purple bolts will break your guard if you block them so try to stand to the side so that no other attacks will connect with them. Magma Rock Attacks: Ice Shot - run to the sides. It will freeze you for a couple of seconds if it hits. Fire from ground - stand in the middle area between the flames (it will not hit you) or move to the sides. Laser rays - Block. He loves to pin you down with this attack. Blue energy currents - avoid by running to the sides or in between them. This is the most annoying attack. He will start his BS mode that I mentioned previously once the screen flashes. The area will be utter chaos and you will most likely have to start using some items or unleash your Oni Awakening. You will have to start absorbing his power very early as the battle wages on since you will be required to absorb more to stop his attack. The magma rocks will have no mercy during his last 25% of life and will attack anytime, even during the light shots or ultimate attack. If you fail to stop his ultimate attack then he will most likely hit you and take half of your life. After the battle, the ending cutscenes will play. Be sure to watch the credits for an extra cutscene, then save your game after the cutscene to start with all your weapons and levels on your next game. ___________ _________ Section IV \_________________________________________________________/ [LIST00] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ _____ __ _____ / / \_ \/ _\/__ \ / / / /\/\ \ / /\/ / /___/\/ /_ _\ \ / / \____/\____/ \__/ \/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This section highlights every item found in the game. The descriptions in parentheses are the location of each weapon in the weapons section and the locations are outlined under the general "Location(s)" title for the rest of the items. Pause the game and choose "Items" then choose "List" to see the different items in the same format of each table shown below. For the weapon lists, the Joke Weapons are listed for each character even though they will not appear on the weapon list in the main game and have no number. * For the apparel and supplies, some of the locations are not specific because there are too many to list. Use Cntrl + F and type in the name of the item to find it in the walkthrough. Also, when I say, "Buy from Shop" that means that that item will be available after a certain point in the game is reached. By the time you reach the final Hideout (before stage 17), all of the listed apparel said to be in the shop will be there. =============================================================================== = Soki's Weapons = =============================================================================== -- Soki's Weapon Table +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [01] Lamentation (starting weapon) Attribute: Dark ----- Type: 4 Combo Lv.1 -

I have listed whether each attack is blockable or not, or if it breaks your guard. Attacks that break your guard will not hit you, but if another attack hits directly after the guard break then you will get hit. I have also listed the beginning animation for each attack so you will have an idea of what to look for when the enemy attacks. ================= = Genma Soldier = ================= The Genma Soldier is your basic enemy in Onimusha (always has been). There are a variety of Soldier types that will be found throughout the game, but they all share the same basic attacks yet they will start to chain more slices together in later stages. The normal soldier will yell before each attack, but the later soldiers will not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Overhead Swing | Yes | Raises sword into the air | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Side Swing | Yes | Holds sword to side | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Grass, Wildflower (Elite) -- Rare Item Drop: Invention Notes, Footsoldier's Ring (Normal), Knight Ring (Elite) =============== = Genma Giant = =============== This enemy will only appear in the first stage of the game. He can only be hit at certain times while he is stunned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Horizontal Attack | Yes | Moves his left arm to the side | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Vertical Attack | Yes | Moves right arm over you | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Gunfire | Yes | Guns on chest start to fire on one side | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Crush Attack | No | Ducks out of site behind the building | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================ = Genma Archer = ================ Usually about two or three archers will appear with a band of Soldier Genma and try to pick you off from a distance with their flame arrows. Always defeat these enemies first. Later in the game they will shoot three arrows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Flame Arrow(s) | Yes | Points bow and arrow toward you | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Medicine LV1, Oni Med LV1, Flame Necklace -- Rare Item Drop: Black Rifle, Light Rifle ================ = Genma Axeman = ================ When you see these, try to knock them down as much as you can. When they raise their axe back, get ready to block no matter what you are doing! Like the Soldier Genma and Archers you will run into a more powerful version of the Axeman later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Overhead Axe | Break | Leans axe back | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Horizontal Axe | Break | Leans axe back | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | * Two Hit Axe | Break | Leans axe back | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * This move is for the Axemen that you will run into toward the end of the game. Even though the attack will break your guard for each hit, it is slow enough so that you will recover from each hit and be able to block the whole combo. -- Item Drop: Medicine LV1, Sergeant's Ring, Medicine LV2 (Elite), Sweet Herb (Elite) ========= = Jubei = ========= Jubei will be the mid-boss of the Plains Outpost. There is little warning before her attacks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Normal Combo | Yes | Usually starts it when close | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Pressure Attack | Yes | Hits once then starts to circle you | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Kick | Yes | Does this before or after combos | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================= = Door Guardian = ================= The door guardian will attach itself to doors found throughout the game and attack you if you try to get near it. The door guardian must be defeated to open the specific door it is attached to. Their laser attack can be quite damaging if they manage to catch you on one side and drag you with the laser as they fire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Laser | Yes | Eye will glow | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Upward Swing | Yes | Tentacle hands will move downward | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Side Swing | Yes | Tentacle hands will move to sides | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Concentrated Laser| Yes | Eye will glow, laser stays in place | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Secret Med LV1 -- Rare Item Drop: Secret Med LV2 =============== = Ninja Genma = =============== A very fast and agile Genma that loves to attack then run while you try to counter. The Ninja Genma toward the end of the game will actually parry your attacks while you attack them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Jumping Attack | Yes | Rubs claws together and jumps | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rushing Stab | Yes | Rushes toward you (not much warning) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Horizontal Slash | Yes | Rubs claws together | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Mushrooms, Onimaru, Red Mushrooms (Elite), Rare Mushrooms (Elite) ================ = Spider Genma = ================ These can easily be the most annoying type of Genma because they like to sit and wait for a chance to attack from their webbing. Always make sure to block when you see one of them in its webbing up above you. There are two types: Hell and Normal Spider Genma. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | * Lunge Attack | Yes/Break | Fly's down from webbing | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Claw Stab | Yes | Leans one arm back and stabs forward | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Double Claw Strike| Yes | Leaps on back then quickly leaps forward| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * If he leaps up in his web while right next to you then it will break your guard. Only from far away will it not break your guard. In other words, if he is far enough way to where you have to approach him, then your guard will not break while blocking the attack. -- Item Drop: Mushrooms, Invention Notes, Red Mushrooms (Hell), Onimura (Hell), Rare Mushrooms (Hell) ==================== = Gacha, Don Gacha = ==================== Oni Magic is your friend while fighting these types of enemies. Only a powerful hit will knock them down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Spinning Club | Break | Gacha will yell then spin | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Punch | Yes | Holds back left arm | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Head Ram | Break | Gacha will yell then run | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Fangs (Gacha), Fossilized Bone (Gacha) -- Rare Item Drop: Broadsword (Gacha), Purple Ring (Gacha), Pearl Ring (Don), Enma Gloves (Don) ======== = Crow = ======== A very weak enemy, but it is hard to hit at times. Any upward slash or projectile attack will usually kill them in one hit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Dive Attack | Yes | Squawks and flies downward | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Vomit Attack | Yes | Squawks and flies straight | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Fangs, Azure Ring, Indigo Ring, Diamond Ring (Red) ========== = Ohatsu = ========== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Gunfire | Yes | Points gun and fires | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Burst Round | No | Ducks and aims gun "This ends now!" | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============== = Spear Genma = =============== These are some very determined Genma when it comes to their spear charge - they will hit something, whether it is the wall or you unless you knock them out of their charge with a heavy hit. Always listen for their yells when fighting them in a group so you'll know when to guard their spear charge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Spear Charge | Yes | Yells then charges | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | * Spear Twirl | Yes | Holds spear above head | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Only the Spear Genma found in later stages will do this. They mainly like to counter your hits with this move and they are resistant to normal attacks while they spin their spear. -- Item Drop: Footsoldier's Ring (Green), Sergeant's Ring (Red), Grass (Green), Wildflower (Red) -- Rare Item Drop: Footsoldier's Choker (Green), Sergeant's Choker (Red), Warrior's Code, Kasen ================= = Armored Genma = ================= These Genma are heavily armored and cannot be properly damaged until their armor is removed through constant attacks. They cannot be knocked down or staggered until their armor is gone so you will have to avoid their attacks and attack them while their armor is on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Horizontal Strike | Yes | Holds mace back to ready attack | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Overhead Strike | Yes | Holds mace back to ready attack | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Mace Lunge | Yes | Pats mace against hand | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Explosion | * Break | Falls to the ground and explodes | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ** 3-hit combo | Yes/Break | Holds mace back to ready attack | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * - Only one hit of the explosion can be blocked. The explosion will hit multiple times if you are caught directly in the middle of it so you will most likely get hit if you try to block it then. It's best to avoid if by stepping to the side. ** The Armored Genma found later in the game will have this damaging three hit combo. The final hit will break your guard. -- Item Drop: Blue Ore, Yellow Ore -- Rare Item Drop: Commander's Choker, Warrior's Code, General's Choker (Red) ========== = Tenkai = ========== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Spear Attack | Yes | Raises spear | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Kick | Yes | Kicks (very quick) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Magic Attack | Yes | Holds spear to side and charges | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============= = Genma Bug = ============= ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Razor Sphere | * Break | Razors rotate on sphere | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Razor Sphere Swing| * Break | After lifting sphere out of ground | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Electric Shockwave| Yes | Opens razor sphere | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The first hit of any razor attack will always break your guard. A normal razor hit will knock you away after breaking your guard, but a swing will hit you multiple times after breaking your guard. ================== = Mushroom Genma = ================== These Genma are heavily armored and will usually take quite a pounding to defeat. They will always summon some other type of Genma, but the summoned Genma will automatically die once the Mushroom Genma has been defeated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Poison Gas | No | Starts to shake | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Antidote, Medicine LV1 =================== = Invisible Genma = =================== These Genma will remain invisible until you use your gauntlet to reveal their location. Use your Soul Absorption to reveal their location. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Tentacle Attack | Yes | Leans back a tentacle and slaps | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item Drop: Secret Med LV1, Secret Med LV2, Secret Med LV3, Gem of Valor Rare Item Drop: Gem of Bravery =========== = Roberto = =========== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Punch Combo | * Break | steps forward and punches rapidly | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The straight punch at the end of the jabs will cause you to stagger so the end of the combo will always hit if he catches you. ========= = Sakon = ========= ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Spear Thrust(s) | Break | Readies spear in both hands | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Flame | Break | Flame is constantly in front of him | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Horizontal Attack | Break | Holds his spear back, "You will die..." | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Flame Overhead | * Break/No| Spear glows red as he prepares attack | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The spear attack will only break your block, but the flames from the ground are NOT blockable at all. ============ = Munenori = ============ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sword Combo |* Yes/Break| No real warning | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Double Slash | Break | Yells then swings both swords | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Slash then Thrust |** Break | Holds sword back and prepares for slash | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Air Reverse Slash | Break | Jumps behind you | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Stomp | No | Stomps while you're grounded next to him| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Crow Attack | Yes | Whistles | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sand Attack | Yes | While getting up if you're near | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The final hit will break your guard but he will stop the combo after the breaking hit. ** The first hit will break your guard allowing him to hit you with the thrust attack. ============== = Genma Wasp = ============== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Arm Attack | Break | Hisses then moves arm | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Gust of Wind | Yes | Hisses then shakes head | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Poison Breath | No | Hisses | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============ = Fireball = ============ The Fireball is an actual enemy and can be destroyed, but it is heavily armored even more so than an Armored Genma at times. Make sure to hit them sparingly if you try to attack them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Fire | Yes | Anytime you come into contact with it | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Small Gold Nugget, Yellow Ore -- Rare Item Drop: Large Gold Nugget, Blue Ore ================= = Genma General = ================= Much like the Gachas, these enemies take quite a pounding in order to knock them down. Unlike the Don Gacha, they have some attacks that you cannot knock them out of. The best way to fight them is with Oni Magic, but beware their heavy attacks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Vertical Slice | Yes | Readies sword behind back | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Uppercut Slice | Yes | Holds sword downward | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Jumping Overhead | Yes | Prepares to jump (long range attack) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Shoulder Ram | Yes | Crouches and prepares ram (short range) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |* Magic Overhead | No | Charges sword with elemental energy | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Different color Genma Generals will have different elemental attacks. Blue = Ice, Black = Dark, etc. -- Item Drop: General's Ring (Blue), General's Choker (Blue), Commander's Ring (Yellow) -- Rare Item Drop: Warrior's Code, Fallen Angel (Blue), Balmunk (Black), Flame Sword (Yellow) ================== = Tunneler Genma = ================== Much like their names suggest, these Genma will dig into the ground and burrow toward you. They will jump out of the ground from beneath you and try to hit you with their claws. While they are in the ground, you can perform a finisher with any weapon for an instant kill. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Tunnel Attack | Yes | Burrows under the ground | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Rare Item Drop: Antler, Fossilized Bone, Rare Mushrooms, Rare Antler (Elite) ============= = Hideyoshi = ============= ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Energy Shield | Yes | Holds up hand (close range) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sphere | Break | Released throughout battle | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sphere Electricity| Yes | Pumps power into spheres making waves | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ====================== = Disc Thrower Genma = ====================== These are some of the most annoying Genma in the game. They will constantly run and throw energy disc from a distance. There are two types: Green and Red. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Energy Disc | Yes | Disc appears on arm then Genma tosses it| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Double Kick | Yes | Kicks with both legs (close range) | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Fossilized Bone, Antler (Green), Rare Antler (Red) -- Rare Item Drop: Rare Shell =========== = Gargant = =========== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Jump Kick Combo | Break | No real warning | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Slash Combo | Break | No real warning | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Force Field Combo | * No | No real warning | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sliding Stab | Yes | Slides forward with sword out | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Jumping Slash | Yes | Jumps and spins forward | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Red Fireball | Break | Fist glows red (long range attack) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Red Fireballs (3) | No | Fist glows red (long range attack) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Force Field | No | Holds back hand and charges | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Kick | Break | No real warning (weaponless) | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The beginning of the combo starts out just like the jump kick and slash combo, but the final hit will be a force field hit with his hand and will be unblockable. There is no warning as to what move he will do at the end of his combo. ================ = Genma Cannon = ================ These are armored similar to a Mushroom Genma, but their armor is not quite as heavy. They will constantly shoot out cannonballs that will destroy anything in their path. Kick them to make them turn while firing. If you point them toward a group of Genma they can do all the work for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Cannon Shot | No | Starts to shake then fires | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Cannon Headbutt | Yes | Leans cannon top toward you | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item Drop: Blue Ore, Nio ================ = Bomber Genma = ================ Bomber Genma like to sneak in their attacks while you fight other enemies. They will run up next to you and plant a bomb on the ground near you then run off. The bomb is unblockable so you must stop everything that you are doing and move to avoid it. If you kill a Bomber before his bomb goes off then the bomb may not explode, but it will sometimes still go off even after his death. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bomb | No | Lays down a bomb then runs | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Fossilized Bone, Gambler's Thimble -- Rare Item Drop: Gambler's Dice ================ = Genma Ohatsu = ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Gunfire | Yes | Points gun and fires | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Burst Round | No | Ducks and aims gun while moaning | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============== = Genma Mage = ============== These Genma can be a pain when in pairs. They will constantly try to trap you within a vortex that will cast a spell on you. Run out of the way of the vortex to dodge the attack. It is best to knock these Genma out of the air and stab them while they lie on the ground. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Zombie Summon | N/A | Summons Zombie | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Circle of Fire | No | Blue fireballs circle character | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Dark Circle | No | Dark spell surrounds character | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Antidote (Pink), Lucky Charm, Crimson Ring -- Rare Item Drop: Charon's Bell, Purple Bell (Pink), Red Bell (Red) ================ = Genma Zombie = ================ These are much like the Soldier Genma, but they are a bit harder to knock down and have more life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Fist Attack(s) | Yes | Zombie yells then runs | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | * Bite Attack | No | Zombie rushes toward you | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * They will only do this after you have been knocked down. They rush toward you, fall on top of you, and bite. -- Item Drop: Antidote, Mushrooms -- Rare Item Drop: Lizard, Salamander ==================== = Big Genma Zombie = ==================== The Big Zombies are similar to Gachas, but slower. Use Oni Magic Critical attacks to knock them down just as you would a Gacha. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | * Overhead Attack | Yes/Break | Leans back arm | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Vomit Attack | Yes | Vomit starts to protrude from mouth | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Zombie Throw | Break | Digs in the ground to pull up a Zombie | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The later Big Zombies will sometimes add a kick attack to the end of the overhead. The kick will break your guard. -- Item Drop: Rare Salamander, Rare Mushrooms -- Rare Item Drop: Naga Ring =============== = Dark Puppet = =============== These will appear in the form of your companions, so look up there moves if you want to see the Dark Puppet's move set. They mainly stick with the basic combos for that character and do not chain into special attacks. -- Rare Item Drop: Black Inferno ============== = Luis Frois = ============== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Knife Attack | Yes | Knives point toward you | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sudden Death | * No | Transparent orange clock appears | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Electric Sphere | Yes | No real warning | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Attacking him is the only way to stop this move. ============ = Menteith = ============ Immensely powerful with moves that will travel great distances the Menteith should always be taken out first when in a crowd. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Tremor Punch | Break | Leans back arms and punches ground | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Side Punches | Yes | Swings arms around his sides rapidly | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | * Two Punch Combo | Yes/Break | Punches with left hand first | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Upward Side Punch | Break | Holds arms around body | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The right hand punch will break your guard. -- Item Drop: Sweet Herb, Medicine LV2, Blessed Tiger Eye ================= = Warrior Genma = ================= These Genma appear frightening, but much like the Gacha's, they fall victim to Oni Magic Criticals very easily. Keep them grounded most of the time to keep them from attacking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Electric Grapple | Yes | Sword glows red then he fires | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sword Drill |* Yes/Break| Sticks sword into ground (very sudden) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sword Hits | Yes | Holds sword in back of him or side | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Uppercut Swing | Break | Holds sword downward and charges | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The final hit will break your guard. -- Item Drop: Medicine LV2 -- Rare Item Drop: Dainsleif =============== = Boxer Genma = =============== These are the most annoying of all the Genma simply because you basically have to use a critical in order to hit them. Use Oni Magic attacks or wait for him to block then kick him and hit him with a critical. If you stand and block then he will always block eventually. Fighting him with normal attacks is suicide since he will dodge most of your attacks then counter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Drill Punch | Break | No real warning | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 3-hit combo | Yes | No real warning | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Fake Stun | N/A | * Stands motionless | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * DO NOT hit him or he will counter during the Fake. -- Item Drop: Rook Ring, Knight Ring -- Rare Item Drop: G.

Always keep these enemies grounded by using Oni Magic Criticals and show no mercy when they hit the ground. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Claw Strike | Yes | Leans arm to the side | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Machine Gun Up | Yes | Points guns down | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Machine Gun Side | Yes | Points guns diagnolly down | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Item Drop: Yellow Ore -- Rare Item Drop: Rare Shell ======================= = Soul Absorber Genma = ======================= These Genma will constantly soak up all the souls that you get for killing other Genma. Use the Soul Absorption with your gauntlet to reel these Genma in for an attack. They are not really too bad, until you run into the red variety on later stages. The red Soul Absorbers will fight your Soul Absorption until they get right next to you, then suddenly lash out with a ram. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | * Ram | Yes | Moves toward you while you pull him in | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Only the red Soul Absorbers, found later in the game, will do this. =========== = Ophelia = =========== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Dark Essence | No | She summons it throughout the battle | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Flying Kick | Break | Implants insect arms into the ground | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Throwing Knives | Yes | Jumps back and throws them | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Slash Combo |* Yes/Break| No real warning (Close range) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Claw Attack |* Break | No real warning (Close range) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Kick Combo |* Yes/Break| No real warning (Close range) | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The breaking hit of Ohelia's combos must be dodged or she will hit you with the final hit. The Claw Attack is actually the last few hits of her Slash combo so you will need to dodge after guarding the first hit or she will break your guard with the second hit and attack you with the third hit. ======================== = Claudius (Centipede) = ======================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Dark Essence | No | He will leave it behind after charging | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Head Charge | Break | Dashes toward you from the background | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Portal Charge | No | Portal appears and he dashes out of it | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Laser | Yes | Whenever his tail appears by itself | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============= = Dark Crow = ============= These enemies are very dangerous because of their lasers. Run or use Ohatsu to shoot them out of the air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Dive Attack | Yes | He will squawk then dive | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Laser | * Yes/No | Charges laser | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The first hit is blockable, but the second hit isn't. Dodge out of the way of the second hit after blocking the first. -- Item Drop: Rare Mushrooms, Rare Antler, Rare Shell ========================== = Grenade Launcher Genma = ========================== These will appear on the final stage of the game. They are basically the Machine Gunner Genma with an unblockable attack. Just like the Machine Gunners, keep them grounded most of the time. If you see them readying their energy shot attack, quickly hit them with Oni Magic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ATTACK | BLOCKABLE | BEGINNING ANIMATION

What about the Oni Orb and Mino Goro's Thread? A: It is there for story purposes. There is no use other than that. If you talk to Jubei after collecting the Crow Feather she will mention that Munenori must be there at the Fortress. That is the only use that I know of. The Oni Orb is basically for story purposes as well since Soki needs this to awaken the power of the Onimusha. Mino Goro's Thread allows Soki to choose from the options that Minokichi had earlier in the game for the final hideout before Stage 17, such as revisiting stages and traveling to the Dark Realm. (2) Q: What is the maximum level for armor? A: Armor can be upgraded all the way to level 100 and it will be labeled as MAX on the menu from then on and cannot be upgraded any more, much like a weapon. (3) Q: Is there an easier way to get Fallen Angel and Balmunk besides those damn Test of Valors? A: You're not going to like this, but the Dark Realm is really the way to go since you fight multiple Genma Generals of all varieties there. The unfortunate part is that you only fight them on the last 10 stages. Equip the Gambler's Thimble, Gambler's Dice, something to increase your attack (Fudo Horn, Horn of Susano) along with a weapon that is opposite their element (Black = Dark, so use light, Blue = Ice, so use fire). (4) Q: Any tips for the Dark Realm? A: Equip a Fudo Horn, Horn of Susano, Lucky Charm, and a Charon's Bell or Rosary of Heart (but equip the Charon's Bell before you die). Wait until the last few stages to equip the Horn of Susano. Use constant Oni Magic Critical Chain and you can basically chain the whole room for the first few floors. Stock up on as many Charon's Bells as you can carry and don't forget to equip them right before you die. The Oni Awakening will save you from death, but if you have a Charon's Bell equipped, the Charon's Bell will revive you first. It's best to try to unleash the Oni Awakening manually before just before you die if you plan on keeping a Charon's Bell equipped since the Charon's Bell will give you a full OP gauge once again when it revives you. Make sure to constantly check your equipment before you die to make sure that you have a Charon's Bell equipped - I cannot stress this enough! With Tenkai, use his Thunderclap while a bunch of souls are on the screen and you will be able to literally own the whole area at times. Draw souls toward heavily armored enemies and use Thunderclap as the souls reach them to take off some massive damage. You forfeit all the souls on the screen while using the Thunderclap, but the payoff in damage is totally worth it! With Soki, you're going to need a bunch of Charon Bell's (I would say about 40 to be safe). Use his Sword of Purification Coil Attack (R2) while in the middle of his Oni Awakening during the final few levels to take your enemies down very quickly when they gang up on you. Use his Purification Coil often during the last few stages and use other moves such as Whirlwind, H. Splitter, and Phoenix to keep him standing even as the enemy attacks. As with any character, Oni Magic Criticals is a must. When you come to the Genma Generals equip a powerful weapon that is opposite their element to take them down quicker: Blue, equip fire; Green, equip earth; Yellow, equip wind; Black, equip light. The effects of different elements may not be too noticeable during normal attacks but when you use a Level 3 Oni Magic attack it will take off more than usual. With Jubei, it would be best to have a fully upgraded Onimura blade or get to Level 50 of the Dark Realm and collect the Arondight - exit the Dark Realm, upgrade it fully then reenter (please note that you'll have to go through the first 50 levels once again if you exit though). Some good items to equip are the Rosary of Magic, Rosary of Heart, Low King Ring, General's Ring or Warrior's Ring. For the final few stages, you will need to constantly chain Oni Magic Criticals in order to stay invincible since the enemies will be very unforgiving as usual. Since Jubei's combos are usually longer than the other character's combinations, you might want to end the combo early at times to avoid getting hit. As usual, an Oni Awakening will be a godsend. (Thanks to Joao Augusto, NoLogo, and all the people that emailed me about Jubei) Still working on some strategies for the other characters at the moment. I would like to have a tips section for the Dark Realm so if any of you have any interesting character specific strategies and tips then email me. This is an email that I received from a reader a few days after my last update. I'll just copy and paste it from the email since it is very well written and descriptive. "Usual Equips: Rosary of Health(Slow HP regen) <- Stays Commander's Ring(+10 AP) <- Filler, didn't know what to equip Commander's Choker(+10 DP) <- Ditto, and, is often replaced Rosary of Heart(Slow OP regen) <- Replaced once OP is full, put on when it isn't and during Awakening Situational Equips: [Animal] Ring(50% extra damage against certain elements) -For Genma Generals, but not the Dark Element one Tao Master's Ring(50% more magic damage) -When spamming magic of course Lucky Charm(-25% MP consumption) -Goes with the above Charon Bell(Revive with full HP/MP/OP) -Equipped whenever Awakening is about to end or OP is below half More stuff, but I forgot them <_<; I dunno if people know this, but archer arrows turn into yellow souls when hit. So, clear the floor of all enemies except the archer and heal using the arrows. 1. For Soki, I switched between spamming Oni Magic Lv. 3(Gleam) against flying enemies, and Chain Criticals(Excalibur; Gleam is used beforehand) against everything else. If MP becomes an issue, a weapon with the "Attack Wave" property can be used in combination with Dodging(L1+Direction). Most melee enemies can be taken down without a scratch like this, and the same applies to some ranged enemies. Regular combat works wonders with a high AP weapon(obviously). I used his Awakening when the action became too hectic. 2. Jubei...pretty much the same strategy above applies(minus the weapons :P). I try not to use the Demon Eye unless if I really need to because it always ends up wasted when there are flying enemies about. 3. Ohatsu has ranged weapons that can actually hit flying enemies without too much of a problem. For the early levels, I suggest a normal type shot(Guardian), and the lasers for floors beyond. All I did was shoot and dodge, with the occasional use of her bugs to prevent death. 4. I had trouble with Roberto, so I decided to spam Light Magic. That's all I have for him. Course, I used the magic criticals when they were more cost effective. 5. Tenkai just uses one burst of Light Magic(Level 3), then thunderclaps the rest, if all that was released were reds. I usually choose to absorb the blue and purple souls. Keep in mind I did not pause to recover inbetween floors. If a person is decent enough at fighting, the Rosary of Heart should restore 1/4th of a character's OP half-way through floors past 50. With a strong enough weapon, the character should only spend about 1/3rd of the OP then move onto the next floor. This is assuming no purple souls are released when enemies are killed. As a standard, I never use a full combo against any heavy enemies(Armor things, Gunners, those shockwave beasts...). I usually dash in, hit 3 times, and dodge in the appropriate direction. For any level with "smart" cannons(they aim at you!), I dodge all around, letting them do the killing. I try to leave the tentacle enemies last, because revealing them in the heat of battle is quite dangerous..." (Thanks to yugioh903) (5) Q: Why is this code not working? A: Each region specific copy of Onimusha: DoD has its own specific code or way to get the secret costumes. I have listed the codes for the PAL version so check in the secrets section. For the Japanese version, you had to collect Oni Charms that were spread throughout the game in select locations. There is an in-depth FAQ on GameFAQs that points out the locations if you are interested. (6) Q: What other games can I find like Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams? A: Check the "About Shadow of Rome" section under Everything Else. Also, Genji and the other Onimushas (if you haven't played them of course) would be some other great choices. (7) Q: How do I (a) equip my other characters besides Soki and (b) how do I equip rings, necklaces, or any other items? A: (a) Pause the game like normal then select "Equip". Cycle through the available characters by pressing to the left or right with the D-pad (Directional pad). Notice their names displayed at the very top. At the hideout, all characters in your party can be equipped, but in a stage, only the current partner can be equipped. A: (b) Pause the game like normal then select "Equip". Highlight the slot that you want to equip the accessory to and press X. From that screen, press the left and right direction on the D-pad (Directional pad) to choose between rings, necklaces, or other as displayed above the top table. ___________ _________ Section VII\_________________________________________________________/ [EVEL00] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ __ __ _____ _____ __ ___ /__\/\ /\/__\/__\/\_/\/__ \/\ /\\_ \/\ \ \/ _ \ /_\ \ \ / /_\ / \//\_ _/ / /\/ /_/ / / /\/ \/ / /_\/ //__ \ V //__/ _ \ / \ / / / __ /\/ /_/ /\ / /_\\ \__/ \_/\__/\/ \_/ \_/ \/ \/ /_/\____/\_\ \/\____/ __ __ __ __ /__\/ / / _\ /__\ /_\ / / \ \ /_\ //__/ /____\ \//__ \__/\____/\__/\__/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Version History Version 0.8 - (April 28, 2006) - This guide is still not as complete as I'd like it to be, but I'm releasing it early since it seems to be taking quite a while to finish. Some sections are still a bit unfinished so you might see some blank areas. A few sections haven't been proofread yet either, but I'll get to that by the next update. The rest of the Test of Valors (and the unfinished TOV's) will be added (and updated) soon. Version 0.85 - (April 29, 2006) - Added all the info for backtracking up to Stage 12. Also added a few more weapons and weapon stats. Version 1.0 - (May 1, 2006) - For the most part the FAQ is complete. All backtrack areas have been added. Still missing a few weapons that I will add later and I plan to list the Dark Realm items eventually. Version 1.1 - (May 2, 2006) - Added all the character moves and updated the weapons section a bit. The Weapons section has now been moved to the bottom. Added a note for the puzzles in the City of Sakai (Stage 13) level. Please email me about that if you can. Version 1.2 - (May 4, 2006) - Added tons of the weapon info for most of the weapons in the game. Rapport is now listed in the Basics section. Jubei's Dark Realm items are now up thanks to a reader. I also fixed up the FAQ here and there to help make some sections easier on the eyes. Version 1.3 - (May 5, 2006) - Added more codes for the second painting puzzle on Stage 13. That is all. Version 1.4 - (May 6, 2006) - A few more codes for the Stage 13 puzzle are now available and few more item drops have been added to the Enemies section. Spider Genma attacks were updated as well. Version 1.5 - (May 9, 2006) - More item drops are now available in the Enemies section and more codes were added to the Stage 13 puzzle. It seems as if that puzzle is TOTALLY random. Changed "Oni" to "Gargant" for the Stage 9 boss battle. Version 1.6 - (May 13, 2006) - More items drops and two more codes for the Stage 13 puzzle were added. If anybody can confirm some item drops that I am missing then please email me. Thanks. Version 1.7 - (May 15, 2006) - Tenkai's Dark Realm items are now available along with some more items drops for enemies and two more Stage 13 codes. Version 1.8 - (May 22, 2006) - More codes for Stage 13 were added and a few corrections were made here and there. Version 1.9 - (May 26, 2006) - More codes were added for the Stage 13 puzzle making a grand total of 26 different codes so far. A few more item drops were added and half of Ohatsu's Dark Realm item list is finished. Also added the codes for the PAL Street Fighter outfits for the European readers. The title ASCII art has been lowered and there is now an "About Me" section at the very bottom for your reading pleasure. Version 2.0 - (May 31, 2006) - Added the location for the Oni of Fate charm to Stage 17. Ohatsu's Dark Realm items are now all available and there are some more Stage 13 codes making a total of 35 codes. Version 2.1 - (June 5, 2006) - Ohatsu's Dark Realm weapon stats are now up. Roberto's Dark Realm items are now listed. There is also an extra puzzle box location for the backtrack section of Azuchi Castle (West Trap Room Rootop) and I have added an extra tip for the battle with Sakon while your Tenkai in Stage 8. Also, there is a new section under Secrets, revealing all the locations for the Oni and Dragon Charms. I have some more codes for Stage 13, but I'll address that issue next update... I'm thinking about taking them all out and doing a REALLY descriptive solution for one or two codes since that big list of codes in the Stage 13 area of this walkthrough is starting to annoy me. There are probably over 200 solutions anyway and if I listed all of those, it would really only provide extra work for the readers to go through them all. Version 2.2 - (June 19, 2006) - As you may have noticed, the version history is now down at the bottom. Added the locations for two new puzzle boxes in Sawayama Castle (Stage 11). There you will find Roberto's Brinnhilde gauntlets and the Emobossed Mallet. Might want to check that out if you skipped it. Weapon stats are now added for all the Dark Realm weapons. I have finally updated the Stage 13 code section also. All the codes except for two of them have been removed and there is now a super descriptive method in their place. Version 2.3 - (June 22, 2006) - An explanation of Oni Magic has been added under the Basics section. Added an Oni Jewel location found right at the beginning of Kyoto (Stage 7) to the walkthrough section. The weapons section has been totally revamped in the same order as the weapon list under the pause menu. Joke weapons have been added at the bottom of each weapon list as well. I'm still not totally sure on the numbering for Soki's Balmunk, Fallen Angel, and Excalibur sword however. If you know the correct order, then please email me. Version 2.4 - (June 26, 2006) - Added quite a few things this update. The weapon stats and numbers for Balmunk, Fallen Angel, and Excalibur have been added. I also added the weapon AP for Tenkai's Ithuriel spear - didn't even notice that I had skipped that. Oni Magic LV1 is now listed for every weapon as well. Added an extra tip for the Rosencrantz battle in Twisted Kyoto. There is a new "FAQ" section in the Secrets section and an "About Shadow of Rome" section under Everything Else. The first puzzle description in Stage 13 has an extra note about it being random. Version 2.5 - (June 30, 2006) - Corrected a few areas here and there and started adding a list for all the other items in the game below the weapons list. The "Weapons" section will most likely be renamed the "List" section by the next update. Version 2.6 - (July 3, 2006) - Finished up the list items. Added a few more item drops and some information to the FAQ sections for Soki's Dark Realm run. Street Fighter Music was added to the Special Menu section under Secrets. Corrected a few mistakes as well - it's amazing how many I can look over while proofreading... Version 2.7 - (August 4, 2006) - Added some tips for Jubei's Dark Realm ascension and corrected a minor error. Version 2.8 - (October 1, 2006) - Many strategies have been added to all the sections. It would be best to visit the Special Thanks section to find the latest editions. Version 2.9 - (February 26, 2007) - Added one more question to the Frequently Asked Questions section. Corrected an error for question #1.

All I ask is for you to try to make the email decent. I realize that some people do not speak perfect English or cannot type that well, so that doesn't really matter to me, but all that I ask is that you try to make it readable. If you found this walkthrough helpful, an email would be most appreciated. I would prefer you not to add me to your messenger, but if you do, at least tell me a bit about yourself and why, or if I know you, tell me who you are. One of my pet peeves is when people just add me to their messenger without saying anything. I usually just deny their request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- About Me Well, my name is Kevin. I'm 26 years old and reside in the US (Mississippi). I've been an avid player of video games ever since I first got an Atari 2600 back when I was 6 years old. I've tried to escape into many other hobbies but always wind up back to square one with video games. My favorite gaming series is Resident Evil by far, then second would be Castlevania. Playing just about any survival horror is a major high point in my gaming experience. A few of my other interests include horror movies, anime, and I'm a complete message board junkie. You can find me at Artic Nightfall (Berserker) or the Resident Evil or Castlevania IGN message boards (berserker_kev). I'm also a big fan of viewing artwork, though I can't draw myself. Even though I can't draw, I try to be a creative person through writing, and hopefully that reflects in my guides. My dream is to be a professional walkthrough writer, but until then I will continue to publish guides for free on GameFAQs and the various other gaming sites. For any other info about me, please see my FAQ Writer of the Month interview at IGN: http://faqs.ign.com/articles/637/637797p1.html -- My other work can be found at both IGN and GameFAQs. http://users.ign.com/about/berserker_kev (IGN) http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/21400.html (GameFAQs) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _-_ Cheat Happens Guides (www.cheathappens.com) _-_ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This is a list of HTML guides with pics that I have done for Cheat Happens.

Well, I would like to direct your attention to the little known game from the makers of Onimusha known as Shadow of Rome. If you haven't ever played this game then you should definitely give it a try. It has some really deep combat, deeper than Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, and the combat is very, very addicting. There are plenty of weapons to choose from and each weapon has it's own set of moves. Chop off limbs, cut enemies in half, cut off their head, burn them alive, impale your enemy, break their arms before you cut them off, beat your opponents with severed limbs and heads, the list goes on. The game is hard and has a steep learning curve, but that's what makes it fun! The game is set in ancient Rome where you must take on the role of a general in the Roman army known as Agrippa, who struggles through hardships and ultimately gets drawn into fighting his way through the gladiatorial games to seek vengeance on Decius, the man who killed his mother. Agrippa's father, Vipsanius, is accused of murdering Caesar, and the prize for winning the gladiatorial games will be the right to execute Vipsanius, so Agrippa plans to fight his way to the top and save his father while exacting his revenge upon Decius. Seriously, I wouldn't be making a section in an Onimusha: DoD walkthrough if this game was in any way bad, so go pick up a copy today and email me if you enjoy it. Check out my FAQ on GameFAQs if you have any problems. I think it illustrates my obsession with that game very well. http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/shadow_of_rome_a.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^^^ ^^^ | \ / | | \ / | | \ / | | (*\ /*) | -------- -------- ^^ ^^ / \ / \ \ | --------------- | / \| | | | | | | | | | |/ \ | | | | | | | | | / ----------------- ___ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ / __\ /__\/__\/ _\ /__\/__\ /\ /\ /__\/__\ /__\// /_\ / \//\ \ /_\ / \// / //_//_\ / \// / \/ \//__/ _ \_\ \//__/ _ \/ __ \//__/ _ \ \_____/\__/\/ \_/\__/\__/\/ \_/\/ \/\__/\/ \_/ Thank you for reading! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
