INTRODUCTION This is my very first attempt at writing an FAQ, so I figured I would go to the extents that I can possibly go. I debated the layout of the walkthrough portion and decided that an individual character walkthrough [note there will be tons of cut and paste] would better help players find a specific scenario, or event that they are looking forward to. Also these descriptions have been written by me, not many of them are from the game. Items, and stuff like gifts will probably never make it to my Guide since I don't have the time and patience to go hunt them all down at the moment. I am a full time student, so whatever makes it to this guide be happy. ~RAILVEN MARQUIS III. FAQ HISTORY ************************************************************************ V.95 Everything is basically done. The walkthroughs, the Items sections, the Necklaces, the equipment sections…EVERYTHING IS LITERALLY DONE! I just want to see if I can finish the Mini-Games and write done some info on the.

September 12, 2002 V.0 Just beginning it…oh God I don't know what I am doing. September 12, 2002 ************************************************************************ IV. CHARACTER INFORMATION A. Jubei Yagyu "An ambitious young warrior and the hero of this story. The first leader of the Yagyu Clan and originator of Shin-in style sword combat. Also known as Sougen Yagyu or Sekisyusau. All leaders of the Yagyu clan are given a childhood name of Jubei." You will control Jubei, depending on your friendship with others, just about all the time, except for when Oyu steps in. Jubei is the "Master of the Blade," and to be honest, he looks damn cool when you max out his armor. B. Ekei Ankokuji "A master spear-fighter in the Houzouin style. He is a monk who loves money, liquor and good times." Ekei is a softhearted warrior. Ekei's fighting style is a lot similar to Jubei with the Hyoujin-Yari, in the fact that they swing their weapon the same, so you can feel right at home with him. He isn't to fast and since Jubei isn't to fast either, you will end up liking how he fights, I did, especially with his magic. Ekei is all about good times, and chasing around girls. C. Magoichi Saiga "The leader of the "Saiga Shu" gun troop in Kii prefecture. Bold, bright, and cool- headed, he is good at handling both a gun and a sword." Although in the manual description it mentions sword, Magoichi wouldn't probably be caught dead with one, as he says, "You are to old fashion." Magoichi is an interesting character, sort of fun for people who like going gun-ho. Magoichi makes himself appear hard and callous, but when it comes down to it, he is very soft and proud. D. Kotaro Fuma "A Fuma Ninja who works for the Hojo Clan. He confounds his opponent with his agile movement and countless Ninjutsu." Kotaro is an interesting character. He is rather reckless at the beginning, but his child-like manner makes him loveable. Kotaro is rather fast and skilled, so it might take a second to adjust to his fighting style after countless hours with Jubei. Kotaro's magic is very useful for his kind of character. E. Oyu "A fencer who wears western style armor and wields a western sword. She is breath taking but mysterious. Her past is shrouded in mystery." Oyu is the Kaede of this game. Her portion is a must, so you get to experience her often. Her fighting style is a lot like Jubei's as well, though many consider her weaker. Once you get her strongest weapon, she is very destructive, and her magic is useful when she offers help. As the game story develops, Jubei and her become little more then allies. V. BASICS A. Controls: For Battlefield: Square: Attack with equipped weapon. Except for sub weapons (Kotaro, Magoichi, Oyu, and Ekei), bow, and guns Triangle: Use magic and Cancel decisions Circle: Absorbs souls X: Check and make decisions R1: [Hold] Lock onto target, plus Square to use bow and guns L1: [Hold] Block R2: Quick 180 turn L2: Use sub weapons (Kotaro, Magoichi, Oyu and Ekei). L3: No use R3: Display map Right Analog: Use it to aim bow and guns [hold R1] Left Analog: No use Start: Go into inventory menu Select: Pause, options, and quit game For Inventory Menu: Square: No use Triangle: Cancel or back one. Circle: No use X: Select or move forward R1: No use L1: No use R2: No use L2: No use L3: No use R3: No use Right Analog: No use Left Analog: No use Start: Return to battlefield B. Strafing While holding R1 [targeting] you can make Jubei, or sub characters, strafe to avoid downward attacks. It is a rather simple technique that can be very vital. Holding R1 and double tapping left or right will cause Jubei to 'sidestep' in that direction. If you target, you can circle strafe, which is useful to maneuver around the enemy and even set them up for an Issen or magic attack. C. Back/forward steps Back/forward steps work the same as strafing except you move towards or away from your target [hold R1]. Steps are useful to avoid swing attacks. Holding R1 and double tapping up or down will cause Jubei, and sub characters, to either jump towards or away from the target. Dodge Issens can be used with stepping. D. Absorbing Souls Holding down the Circle button in the battlefield will allow Jubei, and sub characters when they get their bracelets, to absorb souls. Souls are then used to restore health, restore magic, and upgrade armors and weapons for Jubei. Yellow Souls – Restore HP Blue Souls – Restore Magic Red Souls – Give points for upgrading weapons and armors. Large Bluish-White Souls – Ogre souls, when enough collected will cause Jubei's Onimusha form E. Blocking All the sub characters can block. Gamers will find that blocking will be a big portion of their game. To block you just hold L1, to block targeting hold R1 and L1. Blocking has its weaknesses though. Note that the characters cannot block fast consecutive hits. Characters cannot block attacks coming directly from behind. Strong enemies can cause your character to fumble when he/she is blocking. Kicks cannot be blocked. So always keep this in mind. F. Onimusha Transformation As you play, you will notice that hitting enemies will cause a large bluish-white soul float around. When you try to absorb it, you will notice it can be difficult. These are Ogre Souls, and absorbing 5 of them will cause Jubei to transform into his Onimusha form. In Onimusha form, Jubei is invulnerable to attacks, and his magic attack consists of 5 souls like balls that shoot out and lock on to any near by enemy. Note, that the transformation is limited, you can see the bar where your health bar would be, and by using the magic attack, the bar decreases faster. In Onimusha form you can still do all of the regular things, except weapon magic attacks, that you could do in regular Jubei form; Issens, blocking, strafing, stepping, and absorbing souls. VI. Walkthroughs A. How to use my walkthroughs I wrote these walkthroughs in the order that I played through the game. I can't clearly tell you how to get all necklaces in one game. However, I wrote these guides with the intention of making one sub character the Story Character and Character with the highest level of friendship. This will ensure that you would get all of that Character's scenarios, except for specific ones. If you use this guide, and follow it as it is written (for each character) at the end there will be listed what scenarios you should obtain. Remember, I play the games as I go, so what I get I write, but that doesn't mean that even if you follow my guides to the letter you will get the same results. I only intend to help. If you are playing, and have Magoichi as your story character but still get to play as Kotaro in the Fog Valley, I recommend you go looking through that particular Character's section. I will not write events that didn't happen as I played through. Also, I won't go into detail on the trading in my guides. I will only trade to get a certain Character's friendship to its highest. These guides are written to walk you through the game, and help you attain 100% scenario. If you have specific questions, refer to the other sections such as the PHANTOM REALMS, NECKLACES, SEARCHING ITEMS, and what ever other section I might add. Simple terms: If you need something for a character, look in his section. If you find anything wrong with my guide, like I misspelled something or listed the wrong item to trade, or something that should be in here contact me, contact information is at the top of the guide. I will try my best to guarantee a 100% Scenario within 4 games, one for each sub character, but if I notice that it isn't possible, I will try to note what to do in another Character's game to complete the first Character's Scenario. Good Luck. B. Ekei Introduction: Deadly Attack by Oda's Army A well-done FMV of what exactly happens to Yagyu Village, the main reason why Jubei returns home. Yagyu Village Chapter 1-1: Evil Attack on Yagyu Village The narrator tells us why Jubei has returned home. Jubei just walks into a destroyed Yagyu Village in disbelief. The graphics are beautiful. Nothing special, just follow the path and avoid being killed. As you walk forward, you will encounter a short cinema of Jubei's friend, Yasuke, being killed right before he explains what has happened. In the second area, where the river and bridge are, you can find a chest with the map for Yagyu Village. Once you enter the pond, a cinema will show stepping stones explode from the water. Directly to Jubei's right there will be some bamboo trees you can cut to find a chest that will bear an herb. Cross the stepping-stones into the corridor cave. For now ignore the Soul Pool since you can't absorb souls just yet. At the end of the corridor cave you will find a door. Chapter 1-2: Meeting Takajo Takajo will explain who had wrong Jubei and destroyed Yagyu village, but Jubei is at first disbelieving. Later we discover that more happened then we are shown. Takajo explains the legend of the Oni and the purpose of the 5 Orbs. Jubei learns that it is his destiny to stop the demons, as one with the blood of the Oni. Now that you have the Charity Orb you can absorb souls, by holding Circle, but after the scene with Takajo there is a chest with an herb. Turn around and proceed to leave the same way you came, but this time the corridor cave will contain some bad guys. So prepare to battle, and don't forget to absorb souls. As you exit the cave and pass the stepping-stones, take Jubei's right (opposite direction of first Herb). You should try to catch the frog Ekei will love it. As you continue through this direction you will find a little shrine…show your identity. Chapter 1-3: A New Power Jubei is now blessed with the Thunder Sword Buraitou, his new power. Nice little scene as he swings it around and promises to get revenge on Nobunaga. Now the narrator tells of a short historical background for Imasho Town. Chapter 1-4: Meeting Oyu To me it was rather amusing when they show the man dying after he has found gold. Jubei walks in and witness a few guys pick on Oyu. As Oyu defends herself, Jubei comes to her rescue. The guys ignore Oyu and she walks off [note I have Oyu's alternative costume, man its weird] and Jubei is left to deal with the men. Imasho Town First let's visit the friendly store [second door on the right, first being the bar], remember this is a walk through for Ekei designed just to get the majority of his scenarios, so we are only going to buy a few select items. The 1,000 Gold you have should be sufficient. You can get the White Necklace from the storeowner, for directions go to the NECKLACES section. Now at the store we want; The Egg, Grilled Fish, Blue Parrot, and Vodka total cost 950. You can buy Artwork #16 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Ekei. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. Now for our chase after Oyu, leave the store and follow the path to the end where there is a big doorway, before entering you can get the Imasho Town map on the right of the door. Enter it to get yourself your Bow. First break the barrels that block the way to the elevator [right of doorway], and then return to the start [left of doorway] there is a switch. Hit it, run all the way back to the elevator and board it to the top floor to get your bow. Head back out and take left path to find the Gold Mine pathway. This is straight forward, just run up the stairs killing monsters as you go. Try practicing some Issens; they produce more souls, which are vital to upgrading your equipment. Just ignore it, since Ekei doesn't need it. Once you reach the top of the stairs you will encounter a goofy guy who won't let you pass without a permit. So was this all in vain? Course not. Back track down the pathway, back to the Imasho Town, and this time enter the bar. Chapter 1-5: Meeting Ekei and Magoichi As you enter the bar, you will see a spear cross you and a stranger path and cut the vase/bottle in half. Magoichi is introduced by another angry stranger, and after a few offensive comments, a battle is initiated. Who are these strangers? Well watch the cinema and then Jubei will stop the petty fighting and introduce both characters. After the cinema you should now be able to exchange gifts, so head over to Ekei and give him the following, Blue Parrot, Frog, Grilled Fish, and Vodka. Now he returns, Power Jewel, The Analects, Music Box, and a Magic Jewel. Now travel into the bar and talk to the guy that is leaning against the door in the top of the screen. Buy a permit from him for 100 Gold. You should have enough. Back track back up the pathway, and make sure to kill some more monsters. You want to be able to upgrade your equipment soon. As you get to the top, proceed and Jubei will show the permit, oh and just ignore the chest, it isn't required for Ekei. Walk towards the entrance to the Gold Mine and a cinema will start where some guys are scared. They will tell you they saw Oyu walking deeper into the Gold Mine. Once in the cave, you will see a fork in the road. Take the left path first so you can get yourself a Demon Wall Scroll and a chest with a puzzle. The answer to the puzzle is: 4 and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Inside you should find the Buraitou Secret, a special attack for your new sword. Walk back to the fork in the road and proceed to the right. Follow the path and open the chest along the way to get the Gold Mine Map. As you keep going through the linear path, you can find nuggets of gold lying around. Chapter 2-1: Eerie Monsters As you keep walking, a cinema will start where red eyes catch Jubei's attention. Watch the new enemies spawn and get ready to kick some monster butt, oh and a perfect time to practice your new Buraitou Secret [up, down + square]. Keep walking till you come to another fork in the road. This time take the left, and as you enter a red force field should appear behind you. Kill the 4 monsters. Chapter 2-2-3: Ekei Helps Jubei After you killed the monsters and absorbed their souls, Ekei will run in and kill a monster. He yells at Magoichi for not doing anything and then begins to help you battle the Monsters. Pretty straightforward, just kill the monsters. Chapter 2-3-3: A Missing Baby (For Ekei) A miner will run in and request your help, the monsters kidnapped his daughter and Ekei offers to help. Ekei runs along with the Miner and Magoichi comments, and then you return to your game. Walk into the now accessible path. Inside you can get the Five Oni Orbs scroll and the ice lance Hyoujin-Yari, you can decide which weapon to use, and both are great starter weapons. Now you must return to the fork in the road before you got trapped in this room this time take the left path. Chapter 2-4-2: Dreams of Men Again Magoichi and Ekei are at it again. Fighting over such small things. Ekei explains how Magoichi makes fun of his dreams. "I laughed because it is silly." Magoichi makes a comment about a "vengeful ghost" and walks off Ekei of course follows. With control of Jubei again, step forward and you will find your first Mozun. Just equip the Hyoujin-Yari and take a whack it. It should explode in a cinema. Now walk forward make sure you pick up the medicine within the chest. You will find a magic mirror, use it to save your game, upgrade your equipment, and make sure to make it useful since you will be facing a boss. On the right of the magic mirror you can put the Charity Orb, once you put it in the wall will collapse in a cinema. Ready? If so, enter. Chapter 2-5: Meeting Ginghamphatts Well here is Boss #1, Ginghamphatts. What a weird name, don't you think so too? Well of course like all demons, he is cocky and will give you a lecture about your humanity. Get ready to smack him around. Check the BOSSES section for some advice. After you have defeated Ginghamphatts, absorb his souls and run into the next area. There is a guy lying on the floor, don't talk to him just yet. Walk past him into the next room and get yourself some Gold, ignore the chest since it isn't for Ekei, and behind the crates there is a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 5, 3, 6 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Inside the puzzle you should find the Hyoujin-Yari Secret. Now walk back out and talk to the man on the floor. Chapter 2-6: The Exhausted Factory Owner You will return to the second floor of the Bar, the old man will give you some information on the demons and then tell you that Oyu was taking deeper into the cave. He will give you a Red Ring and tell you he found it inside the Gold Mine. He will rise up, thank you again and leave. Check the chest to find the Folding Fan. You will notice someone in the front of the screen lying down, so go over to him and try to talk to him. Chapter 2-7: Meeting Kotaro 2 In a cinema he will attack Jubei and run off. Jubei is now in front of a Statue and a voice calls out to him. Kotaro walks out and introduces himself. Kotaro tells Jubei that they are friends against Nobunaga. Kotaro also tells Jubei not to trust Oyu and that he will figure out who she really is. Now you are in the back of the bar so go in and head back into the store. If you want to get the White Necklace from the storeowner, refer to the NECKLACES section, I am only guiding you to get the majority of Ekei's scenario. You can also get the ball rolling on the Orange Necklace this time around; again refer to the NECKLACES section. At the store buy the following; Fudo Leg Guard and Love Potion total cost 1300 Gold. You can buy Artwork #17 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Ekei. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. This will be the only time you trade with other characters, so go to the second floor at the bar. Trade the Music Box with Kotaro to get the Ashura Garment for Ekei. Before heading down stairs talk to the man on the right of Kotaro to get the Pick. Now head down stairs and talk to Ekei. He will mention something about a woman pickpocket. After talking to him, head to the stables, along the way ignore the chest at the market. When you reach the stable, ignore the chest, and talk to the lady that is behind the stables. She will then run away from you denying any accusations. Return to the second floor bar and head out to the balcony to talk to her again. After she runs away again, go to the forgery, next to where you found the Imasho Town Map, and talk to her. Again she ran away, this time head back to the stables, where you first found her, and talk to her again. She will admit of what she stole and hand back to you a Broken Bell. Now go back to the bar and give Ekei the following, Ashura Garment, Broken Bell, Fudo Leg Guard, and the Love Potion and he returns Super M. Liquid, Buraitou Tech. 1, Hyoujin-Yari Tech. 1, and Medicine. Leave the bar and head back towards the Gold Mine. Along the pathway to the Mine, you will see a cinema introducing a new monster. These monsters aren't that hard. Hack and slash and get some precious souls. For now return to where you got the Hyoujin-Yari. Ekei should be there and down in the rain about not finding gold. Give him the Pick in exchange for Normal Bullets. Now just run all the way back to where you found the Factory Owner. Along the way there will be a battle where some tough monsters pick on you, but Magoichi will be present to help you out and also, you will see Kotaro around, just ignore him. Once you get back to where you found the Factory Owner, go up to the odd shape on the floor and use the Red Ring. A light path should open up and you should enter it. When you get down, you will walk towards a door and a cinema will start where some monsters bad talk you. Two monsters will appear first one then when you kill it the other, just dispose of them and head into the unsealed door. In the room with the twisted stairwell, before you go up it you can find the Crystal Ball on the left side of screen. Now head up it, at the very top there will be a monster swing his sword. Just rid the world of him and head out. You are now in front of Gifu Castle a cinema will show it off (Ibayama in Onimusha Warlords), so now just go up to the door. Chapter 2-10-2: Magoichi Talks about Ekei Magoichi will kill a monster and then jump into the screen. He will tell you a little about Ekei's dreams and how they are stupid. Then he tells you why Jubei is a "vengeful ghost" since when Nobunaga is destroyed, another will take his place. "It never ends." Once you get Jubei back, enter the door. Some archers and monsters will be pesky, rid them, get the two treasure chests containing the Gifu Keep Tower Map and Incenses, and then enter the door on the left, not the big doors. Here you will find a number puzzle. They are rather simple. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 8, 2, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You will get the Bronze Mask (right). Take it and go back into the main room, prepare for some more pesky demons. After their souls are drained enter the big doors. In this room Ekei will be fighting some enemies, DON'T LEAVE EKEI WITHOUT KILLING THE MONSTERS. You want to have your friendship high with Ekei, so make sure you wait and kill all the monsters. After killing them talk to Ekei and trade him the Crystal Ball for Normal Bullets. Now take the Herb from the treasure case and proceed through the unlocked door. Here you will find another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 4, 2, and 8. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel, so just use it when you want. Head into the next set of doors and you will come across a doorway with a blue alter on it. Examine it, then use your Bronze Mask (right) but you will notice that you can't just yet open the door. Proceed on, careful with these monsters and in the next room ignore the chest and enter the door under the stairwell. A man will tell you he has something for you, but the evil energy won't let him, so he asks you find the Purify Charm. Behind him is the Demon's History. After exiting the room, head up the stairwell. Ekei will come in and help you fight the monsters. Chapter 2-11: The Digger's Baby is Found Once the monsters are gone, the baby will begin to cry and the Miner will run in. You have just rescued the Miner's baby. Ekei will have a flash back of his child and snatch the Miner's baby. Ekei will explain his history a little and he begins to cry, kudos on the tears Capcom, kudos. After the scene, you can leave through the only useable door. Here you will find yourself with a few archers, so just kill the archers and proceed into the next door. In the next room, there is an herb in the chest, the Earth Mozun, and the Purify Charm on the table sparkling. Take the herb and the Purify Charm and head back to the room under the stairwell. Once you are there, give the man the Purify Charm, he will be grateful and leave something sparkling. Lift the Bronze Mask (left) and head back to where you first put the Bronze Mask (right). Remember, as you walk there is a magic mirror, save, enhance your equipment, so just be ready. Chapter 3-1: Meeting Tokichiro A cinema should start with Tokichiro's funny laugh. Tokichiro will assault Oyu, and then Jubei comes in and orders Oyu to leave. Tokichiro summons some monsters, and Jubei is left to defeat them as Oyu escapes. After you defeat the monsters, head back, and get an herb in the chest. Now proceed into the unsealed doors. Chapter 3-2: Gogandantess Battle 1 Meet Gogandantess, the Greatest Swordsman of all Demons. Gogandantess will introduce himself and then challenge Jubei. You can't win this fight, so just keep yourself on your toes. Block, dodge, and try not to use cure items. Chapter 3-3: Oyu Assists Jubei After some time Oyu will come and rescue you, Gogandantess will call you a coward and leave. Just follow the path; there isn't anywhere to go. Once you get outside examine the big metal orb. Chapter 3-5: Borrow the "Faith" Orb A cinema will start where Jubei asks Oyu for the Orb she wears around her neck. Oyu will hand it over, examine the Metal Orb again and now insert the Faith Orb. Chapter 3-6: Ride an Iron Horse Jubei will tell Oyu to get on the Iron Horse, and they both ride it over Gifu Castle's walls. Ride off into the sunrise and back to Imasho Town. Chapter 3-7: Obtain the "Faith" Orb Once in Imasho Town, Oyu will introduce herself and tell her story of why she was in Gifu Castle. She also tells a little bit of her background and Jubei of his. Right off the bat you can see some attraction that Oyu has for Jubei. Once you gain control of Jubei, walk towards the bar, just ignore the treasure chest. Chapter 3-8-1: Kotaro's Warning about Oyu Kotaro calls you from the back. Kotaro explains his distrust for Oyu and then runs off saying he will prove it that she is not trust worthy. Head back to the store, along the way in the market there should be a man staggering wearing a round hat near the entrance to the main town. If he isn't there, head towards the town, then return to the market and talk to him to get Taizo Mandala. At the store buy the following, Pocket Watch, Calligraphy Kit, Naughty Novel, Houtengeki, and the Pair Ring total cost 5100 Gold. You can buy Artwork #18 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Ekei. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. If you chose to follow how to get the Orange and White Necklace, by referring to the NECKLACES section, then talk to the store owner again and look for the man's father who gave you the chalk, if you didn't do any of this just go to bar. Now run into the bar and give Ekei the following, Calligraphy Kit, Folding Fan, Houtengeki, Naughty Novel, Pair Ring, Pocket Watch, and the Taizo Mandala and he will return Fancy Paper, Power Jewel, Hyoujin-Yari Tech.2, Hien Kyahan, Normal Bullet, Scarf, And Normal Bullet. After trading with him, these items should guarantee that Ekei will be the Story Character and the Majority of his scenarios will open up, remember not to trade with others, you don't want to jinx yourself. Note, read the HOW TO USE MY WALKTHROUGHS of the WALKTHROUGHS section for better understand. Head out of the bar and into the market, there should be someone holding a rather weird umbrella so go up to her. Chapter 4-1: Meeting Jujudormah This ugly demon thinks she is the hottest thing alive. She tells you of her love for Nobunaga and how she will stop Jubei and Takajo. So the chase is on, Jujudormah is after Takajo, and Jubei rushes back to Yagyu Village to protect her. Yagyu Village 2 Welcome back to Yagyu Village. This is again straightforward. Take control of Jubei and head to where you first met Takajo, but along the way… Chapter 4-2-4: Ekei Helps Jubei 2 As soon as you cross the bridge a cinema will show Ekei coming out to help Jubei. Ekei will tell you to leave this to him, BUT!!! NEVER EVER leave Ekei alone during battles. Since he is your major character, leaving him will lower your friendship with him, so stay and fight till all the monsters are dead; this will help your friendship. After you killed the monsters go to Takajo. Cross the stepping-stones, go through the corridor cave and come out where Takajo gave you the Charity Orb. Chapter 4-4: Takajo's End You made it just in time to see Jujudormah kill Takajo. Jubei goes to Takajo and holds her as her dying breaths are used up. Chapter 4-5: Mother & Father Oyu walks in and asks what is wrong. Jubei explains that when he first met Takajo, she explained to him how she met his father and fell instantly in love. Chapter 4-6: The Oath Takajo reminds Jubei of his destiny and importance. Jubei now even angrier and is so set on destroying Nobunaga. Jubei is half Oni, there for it is his destiny to stop the demons. After the Cinema pick up the sparkling item, Ring of Takajo, and now you have to return to where you started. Back track through the corridor cave, over the stepping-stones, but you will notice Ekei. Talk to him if you wish. Walk past the bridge, killing all the monsters allowing the way for their souls. Once you are back at where you started, go into the door. Once you are in the house, travel straight, hop onto the next level, and whack at the screen door. Run straight and then turn left hop on and kill the monsters. Run to the end of the corridor to find a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 2 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel use it when you want. Travel back and knock down the screen doors. You should be able to see a chest, go to it and inside there is a Kaleidoscope. Now run into the room that was exposed by you slashing at the screen doors. There are two paths to go, one away from the camera and another towards it. Head towards the camera first and follow the u-turn path. Artwork #10 should be on a shelf, at the end of the u-turn path hack at the wall to expose a little secret Jubei never knew about, and inside collect half of the Four Guardians Art. Now head to the other path and leave through the only path. There will be some annoying archers and silver samurais, so be cautious. After clearing the area take Jubei and all the way down the green grass path, at the end search for the Wasabi. Hop on the ledge and hack at the screen doors. Take the second half of the map from the chest and hack at the next set of screen doors. Inside the chest take the Oolong Tea. Now return back to where you had entered from and examine the Drawer like object. It is saying an object is missing, use Ring of Takajo to unveil a puzzle. To solve the puzzle hit start, go to File, to the sub-menu PICTURE, and examine the Four Guardians Art. The answer is [Left] point it to white, [top] point it to black, [right] point it to blue, and [bottom] point it to red. As the machine reacts a stairwell should appear. Travel down it. In the underground cave, as you are walking you notice that the floor shakes. Jubei jumps off before the floor gives ways and reveals a deadly set of spikes. Just push the directional button towards the spikes and Jubei will jump and grab on to the ledge. Push up and he will climb up. As you proceed you will see lots of ropes, cut them and a big spike will come down in a cinema. When you get control of Jubei, quickly hit R2 and run back to the spikes, jump across, if you are daring get up on the ledge and then jump across and wait till the spike goes over you. If you are not daring, after jumping across the first time, the spike is chasing you, just wait till it passes over you, when it does push up and then jump across. Follow the path to the exit, and you will find yourself in Fog Valley. Ignore the chests and just move forward. Kill all the monsters that get in your way, and as you pass another Mozun, ignore it since you don't have the right magic yet. Once you pass all three ladders, you are at a bridge. Ekei will pop up to help so you must stay and kill the monsters with him. After the monsters are all dead go and trade with him. Give him the following, Oolong Tea, and the Wasabi. Ekei will then return; an Herb and another Herb. After you have finished trading with him continue along the path. Two treasure chests lay ahead, one with the Fog Valley Map and another with an herb. From the Wind Shrine get your Senpumaru and back track to where you saw the Mozun. Across the bridge, down the ladder, down the second ladder, and there it should be. Use the Senpumaru to get Nobunaga's Knowledge. As you are walking back, you will encounter Ekei again in the bridge Once you are back to where you got the Senpumaru, save it and enhance your weapons since you will have to head into the Forest Maze. There are monsters along the way so kill them and gather some souls. After the first straight area, you will come to a fork with a little floating bug demon. Will it quickly, for they disappear. After you kill it a cinema will make the fork turn into a straight path. Follow it, again more monsters, and again a fork, this time the little bug guy got protection. Quickly dispose of the back up or just aim for the bug guy, killing him will return the fork to a straight path and eliminate all the monsters. Go into the new area, another straight path with monsters, keep going, another fork with the bug guy and monsters. Same as before, this time as it turns into one path, follow it and… Chapter 5-5: Jujudormah and Ginghamphatts Jujudormah should appear laughing at you as she threats you. She is about ready to duel you when Ginghamphatts appears Ginghamphatts and Jujudormah argue like siblings and Ginghamphatts gets the honor of fighting you. Say hello to boss #2. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After the boss is dead you get Nobunaga's Reign, take it and leave. Chapter 5-6: Reasons to Fight As you come out of the Maze Forest you find Magoichi and Ekei fighting. Magoichi tells Jubei that he understands how Jubei feels after the death of Takajo. Ekei challenges Magoichi's claim and says not to trust him, that Magoichi might be serving Nobunaga and out to kill both Jubei and Ekei. Magoichi leaves and Ekei chases after him. After the cinema take the left path to a grassy area. Ekei should be there and don't leave till you kill the monsters, once that is done talk to him to get a Medicine. You will see another Mozun so go dispose of it with the Buraitou. After you get Nobunaga's Dignity. Don't go in direction that is the opposite of the pond since it is a dead end. At the pond, cross it and enter the door. On the side towards the camera, Jubei's left, is a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 9 and 5. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get Senpumaru Secret. After the puzzle go into the room with the spikes and examine the middle. You should be asked if you want to pull a lever, pull it and quickly an image will flash. It is an image of the three Nobunaga statues you have. Memorize the image, order of statues, and then place the statues in the same order to proceed. My game: Order Nobunaga's Knowledge, Nobunaga's Dignity, and Nobunaga's Rein. After the doors open run through and get ready for some monster bashing. Remember if Ekei shows up you can't leave until all the monsters are dealt with. Enter the door and kill the monster blocking the door. Near the Magic mirror is Jujudormah's Diary, at the magic mirror enhance and save since… Chapter 5-9: A Last Kiss of Jujudormah Jujudormah will be sweating a picture of Nobunaga. Jubei offends her and she gets angry. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After you slay the beast Jujudormah, you will get the Honesty Orb, and now you should see a red switch. Hit it and the wall will open up. Follow the path; open the chest to get an herb, then run to run because soon afterwards the cave will fill with poisonous gas. Chapter 5-10: Jump Over a Cliff When you get to the end of the cliff, you will watch a cinema of Jubei jump off into the water. The cinema looks pretty nice. In the underwater cave, you will find a chest with the Oni's Sacred Place. Save and then go examine the other pool of water. Put in the Orb of Honesty in to move forward. Chapter 5-11: To Oni's Sacred Place A cool cinema shows Jubei going to the Oni Sacred Place. I like how he almost falls off. Then Gogandantess shows up for, with the cool quote: "Your eyes betray you. That you are thrilled to see a warrior greater then you." Chapter 6-1: Gogandantess Battle 2 Once again you can't defeat him. So I recommend you try to conserve your energy and cure items. Try to dodge and attack when you can. Don't be scared of using your magic, since it will get restored after the battle. After some time, Gogandantess will tell you Odani Castle will fall and then head off. Oyu will come to your aid and will go ahead of Jubei. Chapter 6-2: Takajo's Advice As Oyu enters the Oni Sacred Place, Takajo will appear in front of her. Takajo will thank Oyu for helping Jubei in his time of need and will then tell Oyu how to find the Sacred Flute, so that Jubei can defeat Gogandantess. Now that you got control of Oyu, head around the object in the middle [earth shrine] and behind it to a staircase next to the magic mirror. Head down it and up the other side, you should be careful because as you walk along the path two monsters will come up and attack you. Since Oyu has her level 3 charge, you should use it on them and they should fall easily. Run and get the Key Plate. With it, you can now return to where you met Takajo and use it on the Earth Shrine to unlock the doors. Kill all the monsters that get in your way, use Oyu's magic since it allows you to release souls of monsters with simple attacks. You don't have to kill them. This is great to get some extra souls and restore life when you are low. You should must to the path on the right of the Earth Shrine, since the other is a dead end. As you enter the first corridor, get ready to fight some monsters from here till the end, because it is going to be hard. Since Oyu has a small life bar, she can die easily, but using her level 3 charged you can make the big monsters suffer. I warn you to be careful of the silver armored samurais, because they can gang up on your and their long-range attacks can prevent you from getting close enough to unleash your level 3 attacks. As you go through the rooms, you won't find items or chests, only in the room with the Silver Samurai's, where there is a greenish-yellow pool in the middle, will you find the Oni's Sacred Place Map #1 in the chest and on the other side of the big mouth statue, a Medicine sparkling on the floor. You should know be in a room with glass tiles, blue colored, where fish explode from the bottom. Just block, evade, kill what you can, and eventually the red force field on the ladder would disappear. As you go down the ladder, you will have to find a rather annoying monster watch out for the crocodile like monsters who will distract you and the monster's tentacles. After you kill it there will be a hole in the wall, make sure to get the Adarga from the chest. Enter the hole in the wall and travel down the Fog Bridge. Be careful with the monsters for they can cause serious damage on the narrow walk way. When you get to the magic mirror, save and equip the Gladius that is in the chest. The next area contains some very strong monsters, so be ready. The first monster, the yellow bull, can be taken down with one level 3 charged attack, the next monster, the red bull, can actually kill you easily, and it will take you around 3 or 4 level 3 charged attacks. If the red bull hits you, roll out of the way as you get up, or lay there till you get an open chance, because if he cheats you like he did me, then he will hit you as you try to get up and basically kill you. Chapter 6-3: Oyu Finds the Sacred Flute Congratulations, you just defeated the bulls and got your hands on the Sacred Flute. Now, you must venture back to where Jubei was and handed it over. There is nothing else to do with Oyu, you can either fight and get some souls for Jubei using Oyu's cool magic, or just head straight for him and get on with the game. Chapter 6-4: Oyu Hands Over the Sacred Flute Oyu returns to Jubei with the Sacred Flute that Takajo told her to find. Jubei tells Oyu that his wounds have healed. Now Jubei must go into the Oni's Sacred Place himself and find the rest of the secrets that are hidden. Oyu departs. First's things first, make sure to step up to the Earth Shrine and get your Dokoutsui. I've gone ahead twice before without it only to venture back. Head in the same direction that you did with Oyu and eventually… Chapter 6-7: Ekei's Weakness As you walk into the room after the room with the mouth statue, Ekei walks up to you and tells you that you can't stay, that it is to dangerous. Suddenly you hear the squeaking of a mouse as Ekei starts to scream and runs off to fight the monsters. Just kill the monsters, don't leave Ekei till you kill them all, after you clear the monsters talk to Ekei, tell him you promise not to tell anyone that he is scared of mice and he'll give you the Senpumaru Tech.1, also if you say no you won't get credit for the chapter or the Tech book. After exiting this room, head down the ladder. Once you get to that area where the Earth Mozun is, kill all the monsters, break the Earth Mozun, and then kill the monster in the next area but don't forget the Circle Key on the floor. Head up the ladder and back track back to where you got the hammer. Chapter 6-9: Tokichiro Sets a Trap for Magoichi As you enter, you see Magoichi asking Tokichiro where he hid the gold. Jubei walks in and asks Magoichi if it is true. Magoichi doesn't answer, but in walks in Ekei and starts to accuse Magoichi. Magoichi doesn't care and walks away; Ekei gets angry and chases after him. Back in the main corridor use the magic mirror effectively. After using the mirror, turn into that door immediately to the left. You will find yourself in a blue u-turn corridor, so kill the monsters, collect the Lift Instructions, and then head to the end of the corridor. You will find a ceiling fan, just switch over to Senpumaru and use the magic attack. There is a sparkling item, a Magic Liquid, just in case you don't have enough magic. As the cinema shows the ceiling spin, you will notice that the elevator now has power. Take it down, and pick up the Oni's Place #2 Map in the treasure chest. As you walk into the next room you hear some weird noises and voices. Follow the wall on the right of the doorway to a dead end. Chapter 6-5: Ekei Finds a Hidden Room Jubei walks in to find Ekei punching a wall. Ekei tells Jubei that he followed Magoichi to that place, but he disappeared. Suddenly the door slides open, and Magoichi walks out. Magoichi tells them that there is treasure and a monster grabs Ekei by the head. Ekei gets angry towards Magoichi and chases after him, leaving you to fight the monster. Quickly dispose of the monster and head into the room to collect your a Yellow Necklace. For more information on the necklace check the NECKLACES section. Now walk back to the room and look the for puzzle box located in the corner.1 The answer to the puzzle is: 12, 2, and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a nice Tanegashima for your efforts.

The answer to the puzzle is: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Solving the puzzle will give you the Golden Key. Now we must head back to the room with the elevator and map. Just exit through the door, climb the ladder, follow the path, climb down the ladder, kill the robots if you wish, and exit through the door. As you enter the room again, you should see a ladder in the bottom-right corner. Climb it to find a panel, examine it and accept to use the Golden Key. A cinema will show the moving boxes stopping, so now you can cross them just like the stepping-stones in Yagyu Village. On the other side, examine the door and accept to use the Circle Key. You can find a Tokichiro's Memo #1 on the floor. Examine the statue to open up a puzzle. Check the PUZZLES section for the answer. Solving the puzzle will make a Light Path appear. Enter it and soon you should appear on top of a tower. Turn around, hit R2, and walk forward. Some people complained that they didn't know how to get off the top of the tower. Follow the path to a ladder, and then just go down it. As you go down you will find a puzzle box on your left. The answer to the puzzle is: 2, 4, 6, 8, 1 and 7. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Talisman, very useful, and now you can down track the stairwell. If you follow this guide there should be monster archers, dispose of them. Walk down the path and open the treasure chest to attain the Green Wedge, and use the magic mirror to save, especially if you will want to go to the Green Phantom Realm. When you check the door. Chapter 7-1: Ekei Does a Favor for Jubei Jubei will realize that the door is locked, and then turn away. Suddenly Jubei can hear Ekei walking by and calls out to him. Ekei goes to the door and responds to Jubei. Ekei laughs at Jubei since he is locked in. Ekei asks to tell him where the key is, but Jubei doesn't know either. Now as Ekei you must go right, enter the door, and in the hallway get the Gifu East Area Map open the black treasure chest to get the Yellow Bracelet. Move forward and exit through the door. Once you enter this area, there will be some monsters. After killing the monsters, travel along the path, don't take the first turn, and you will come to a treasure chest, which contains the Cherry Key. Exit through the door on the right, after you unlock it. This should all look familiar. You can either leave to the next area, entering the Gifu Castle, or kill the monsters. Once you enter the castle, there will be some more pesky monsters. Deal with them and enter the double doors. You can fight the monsters here, or enter the door on the right, using the Cherry Key. Once in the new room, walk inside to find the Crescent Key, Human as Food, Artwork #12, Nioh Protector and another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 11, 1, and 4.

You should now be where there is a path that leads in a circle. Dispose of the monsters and then leave through the door back to the East Area. With the Crescent Key, you can now open the door that we first ignored. Kill the monsters and head for the door to unlock it. You should go straight through, just kill the monsters as they come. In the next room you will find yourself in a pond with more monsters, just keep killing them. Keep going killing monsters as you go, along the way absorb the Soul Pool. Final you should find yourself at the waterfall. You should just be killing monsters, and make sure to grab the black treasure chest behind the door that contains Halberd. With that equipped, head into the little shack and down the stairs. Examine the boat to cross the lake. You should now find yourself in front of a building; just kill the monsters and head inside. You will find a big red bull monster, I recommend you stay in the corner and use your charm attack. After you kill it you should get the Snake Key. Now you just simply have to head back, get out of the building, cross the lake by examining the boat, head past the waterfall, down the stairwell, across the courtyard, past the pond, straight across the walkway, take a left at the first intersection, and through the small corridor. Just simply examine the door in which Jubei is trapped. Chapter 7-2: Ekei and Jubei Talk Ekei finally unlocks the door and walks in. Ekei tells Jubei that he knows what he wants. Jubei knows that he wants liquor and women. Ekei walks away satisfied and Jubei just looks at him. Now that you have control of Jubei, exit the room; you will come to a split. Go to the right, only if you are collecting the artworks or want to visit the Green Phantom Realm, other wise go to the left. If you go right, equip Buraitou and break the Mozun. Enter the door and examine the shelves to find Artwork #11, and use the Green Wedge on the light to open up the Green Phantom Realm, for more information on it just go check the PHANTOM REALMS section. If you go right pass through the small corridor, once you enter this area, there will be some monsters. Ekei should appear to help you, so remember to kill all the monsters and then she leaves. After he leaves, travel along the path, don't take the first turn, and exit through the door on the right. This should all look familiar. You can either leave to the next area, entering the Gifu Castle, or kill the monsters. Once you enter the castle, there will be some more pesky monsters. Deal with them and enter the double doors. Fight the monsters, and instead of entering the door on the right, head out through the doors directly in front of the door you came through. We want to return to where you found the Purify Charm your first time here. Keep going through, ignore the door with the blue alter, pass the magic mirror, and into the door. Ignore the treasure chest and just head upstairs. Kill monsters as you, now just enter the only doors here; you should now be in the wrecked room's top floor. Enter the door on the top and you will find a Mozun. Whip out Dokoutsui and take care of it. Enter the room to find a medicine in the far corner, and a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 9, 5, 8, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should find the Dokoutsui Secret. With that in your inventory, let's back track. Exit the room, cross the path and exit. Fight the monsters, and head down the stairs. Ignore the chest and run out the door across the door underneath the stairs. Pass the magic mirror, pass the blue alter door, and exit through the door in the hallway. Exit the small room, and you are back to where you noticed the locked door. Since Ekei already took the stuff from the other room, head back out the double door. Pass the wrecked room and out into the keep. You should now be where there is a path that leads in a circle. Dispose of the monsters and then leave through the door back to the East Area. Enter the door that Ekei had first unlocked with the Crescent Key. Do not leave through the door that is directly in front of the door you enter. As you enter, take the path to the right to the Mozun. Switch over to the Hyoujin-Yari so that you can break the Mozun, and then enter the door. In the room you can get the Gourd from the chest, and follow the path behind the vases to find a Light Path. After entering the Light Path, you will find yourself in a cave. You are now next to a magic mirror, run straight and you should catch a glimpse of a treasure chest, open it to get a Medicine. Many people get stuck here, so just return to the Light Path, since a statue blocks the obvious route. Facing the magic mirror turn to Jubei's left, walk straight, and you should find yourself facing a dark tunnel, now follow it. This room contains more statues and a black treasure chest, so just ignore them. Keep heading forward; in this room Ekei should appear to help you. Remember to kill all the monsters and once they are dead give Ekei the Gourd in exchange for Fire Arrows. You will encounter lots of monsters as you go, so be prepared to fight. There is nothing important in these rooms, so just keep moving. Finally you should reach a room with a bridge, which is open, so just kill all the monsters. After all the monsters are dead, to the left there should be a switch. Examine it to lower the bridge down. After crossing the bridge and entering the next room; you should see a magic mirror. Use the mirror, and then notice directly in front of the mirror a statue, on the left of that statue is Tokichiro's Memo #2. Follow the path; get the treasure chest with the Demon Cave Map, and exit on the other side. Follow the path and fight the monsters, eventually you'll reach the end. Be prepared to fight some bulls, be cautious because there are objects that can interfere with your fighting. After killing the bulls, or running away, you can exit the room. The next room has pesky archers and strong demons, so be on guard. After you exit the room, you will find a treasure chest that contains the Great Powder Tube, ignore the black chest. Run to the end of the path to find a Mozun, careful, because monsters rise as you reach the Mozun. Kill the monsters and then switch over to Senpumaru to take care of the final Mozun. Once you pass the Mozun take the Herb from the chest, and walk forward to a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 5, 4, and 1. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel, so use it. Walk forward to find the statue that was blocking the original path. Use the Great Powder on him and he will give you a Secret Medicine. Walk past him and you should be at the start of the cave, use the Great Powder on the men to get some medicines, so now you can just enter the Light Path and be on your way. After you get back from the caves, exit the room, and follow the path to the door you haven't entered yet. Chapter 7-10: Magoichi Tells the Truth As you walk in you find Magoichi killing some monsters. Magoichi gets injured and then you must fight the monsters. Quickly take care of them. After they are gone, Magoichi begins to tell you the truth about his past. How he is here to stop Nobunaga before he gets to Saiga Village. Magoichi doesn't want it to happen since that is the village where he was raised after his mother's death. The people of the village raised him as if he were one of their kids, so now Magoichi will do what he can to protect their good nature. Ekei is ease dropping and begins to cry at Magoichi's callous front. Exit through the door and fight the monsters in the next room. After you clear them, just enter the room with the stairwell and head up. You should find yourself in the room with the waterfall. Just run to the shack on the other side of the waterfall. In the shack take the Hunting Schedule, and use the mirror to your liking. Walk down the stairs and examine the boat. Cross it to the area across the lake. Once you arrive, there will be some monsters so just take care of them. After killing the monsters enter the building and get ready since two strong monsters will be waiting. Dispose of them with either magic or level 3 charged attacks. Before leaving this room collect the following; Artwork #13, Fortinbras Book, and Golden Evil Statue. Upon entering the next room, you will find two statues. Use the Great Powder on the statues to rescue the men. Talk to the man on the left 3 times to get a Secret Medicine, and then just walk between them into the door. Examine the statues to unveil a puzzle. Check the PUZZLES section for the answer. After finishing the puzzle, a Light Path should open up behind Jubei, so enter it. You should know appear in The Oni's Sacred Place: Blood Pond. Take the Special M. Liquid from the treasure chest and exit through the door. In the next room, the door directly to the left can be opened with the 3 fossils to attain the Black Necklace. Refer to the NECKLACES section and SEARCHING ITEMS for more information. Ekei will pop, so just dispose of the monsters and head towards the door. The next room contains a magic mirror and in the chest is the Oni's Place Map #3. Head toward the door, but ready since more monsters are awaiting you, a lot more. Prepare to fight, or just run past them to the door in the back corner. After exiting the circular room, you should find yourself in a room with lots of turns. Taking the first turn will lead you to two dead ends, but one contains a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 4, 6, 1, and 7. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel. Turn around and there will be a monster that appeared. Dispose of it and head back towards the hallway where you took the turn. Back in the hallway continue forward to find a split in the path. Taking the route away from the camera will lead to a chest, which bears an herb, and a monster will again appear behind you. Kill the monster and return to the split. This time head towards the camera follow the path and you will find a ceiling fan and elevator again. Switch over to Senpumaru and use the wind magic to activate the elevator. Once the cinema shows the elevator being powered up, ride it up. As soon as you are in the next room there is a sparkling item, pick it up to get the Scarlet Key. Among the trash there is also Artwork #14. Now exit through the door and take the path away from the camera. You should find yourself in the main corridor, where you got the Dokoutsui. Take the door on the left of the magic mirror to the blue u-turn room. Ekei should be on the floor, so talk to him and he will mention his Stamina Drink. Check your inventory, your gifts, and see if your egg has hatched into a chicken, if that chicken has laid a brown egg, if that brown egg hatched into a brown chick, if that chick grew into a brown chicken, if that brown chicken laid a gold egg, if that gold egg hatched into a gold chick, and if that gold chick grew into a gold chicken. If so, trade the Golden Chicken to Ekei to boost your friendship; this is the last chance you have to trade. Ride the elevator down and walk forward to the door. Kill monsters if you wish along the way. In this room go to the ladder by the open chest and climb it. Follow the path to another ladder then climb it down, now enter the door. Inside walk forward and you should see something sparkling; examine it to get the Stamina Drink. Simply run back to where Ekei was resting and had it over to him in exchange for Normal Bullet. Again ride the elevator down and walk forward to the door. Kill monsters if you wish along the way. In this room go to the ladder by the open chest and climb it. Follow the path to another ladder then climb it down, now enter the door. Inside walk forward, turn right and you will find a red glowing door. Use the Scarlet Key on it to unlock it. Enter it and walk forward. Chapter 8-4: Tokichiro's Trap Jubei walks in on Tokichiro trying to capture Oyu. As Jubei rescues Oyu, Tokichiro pulls on a lever that makes the floor beneath Jubei and Oyu retracts and they fall into Tokichiro's trap. Chapter 8-5: From Oyu to Oichi Jubei and Oyu have time to talk, so Oyu tells Jubei of her plans to return to Odani Castle. She also tells him of her true identity, in which she is Oichi, the sister of Nobunaga. Oyu tells of her husband having 3 daughters from his ex-wife, and how she felt betrayed. She felt it was her responsibility to stop Nobunaga from killing, but she got caught in Gifu Castle. Oyu confess how she feels for Jubei, and she admits in being selfish. Oyu decides to return to Odani Castle because of her daughters, "blood or no blood." Jubei moves in on Oyu and is about to kiss her when Tokichiro starts to laugh and sets off an explosion. So the explosion that seems to have destroyed the wall failed to kill you. Interesting? Walk through the cracked door, and away from the camera there is a magic mirror. Use it, and save since you will fight a boss. Walking towards the camera are two chests, which bear a Secret Medicine and Gogandantess' Shield. When you are ready open the door on the right of the last treasure chest. Chapter 8-6: Gogandantess Final battle As Jubei and Oyu are walking in, an explosion knocks Jubei away and Oyu into a hole. Oyu clings for life when suddenly Gogandantess steps in to save her. Gogandantess boasts about men wanting to save weak women. Well now Gogandantess again boasts his great swordsmanship and challenges Jubei to "the final round." Jubei rushes Gogandantess to hurry it up, since Gogandantess likes stating his name. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing Gogandantess, you will get a cinema of him asking Jubei to state his name. When Gogandantess turns into souls you should get the Respect Orb, and then just absorb his souls. Walk out through the door that is right there. You should find yourself in a burning room. Run forward and climb that ladder, there are a few items worth of interest. Once you climb the ladder, on the pathway walk all the way to the end, and take the path that leads towards the camera. Jump across the flames and go forward to find a chest that bears an herb. Now run back to the pathway. On the pathway you can find a pathway in the middle of the ladder, and the pathway you just took to find the herb. You can take the path to find a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 1, 12, and 2. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should find a Power Jewel so use it. Now turn around and head back to the pathway, but as you hope onto the path, hold forward to hop onto another pathway with a treasure chest behind two metal objects. Swing at the objects and then find some cover because they explode. The treasure chest should bear a Medicine. Walk back to where you climb the ladder and walk towards the camera, Jubei should start jumping across like he did the stepping-stones and boxes. Now just climb the ladder and exit. You should remember this room in the Oni's Sacred Place. Walk to the middle and examine the huge statue, you can talk to Oyu if you want, when prompt to insert the Respect Orb, accept. Chapter 8-7: Ancient Flying Boat Flies As Jubei inserts the Orb, a chain of events should start. Tokichiro starts to laugh as the place seems to fall apart and monsters attack Jubei and Oyu. Tokichiro ends up stealing the Oni Genbu, so Jubei and Oyu are left to think of how to chase after it. As the building starts to collapse, Jubei and Oyu run upstairs to seek shelter. Now that you can control Jubei, use the magic mirror effectively. Walk forward and examine the flying object from the cinema. This can be a little tricky. There are lots of different means of doing this; you must simply rotate the left analog stick counter-clockwise, and the right analog stick clockwise. Do it at an even pace, because if you notice one side might still be lower then the other. If this happens, you have to rotate the side that is highest in the opposite direction that you were rotating it, this will lower it, and then you can rotate the lower side some more to catch up. You are timed to do this, so you must try hard and be fast. Chapter 8-8: Chase the Flying Boat After completing the event and opening up the door, Jubei and Oyu will get on the flying thing. They will start to fly after the flying Oni Genbu, and jump on to it to get on. Oyu of course falls and Jubei has to reach out and save her. Jubei and Oyu now find themselves on the Oni Genbu and break a window to get in. Time to find Tokichiro, Oyu runs off and you are left with Jubei. First follow the path to the end, ignore the magic mirror, don't enter the door, ignore the chest, and you will find a sparkling item. With the Magic Liquid in your inventory, you can return to the treasure chest, which happens to be another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 5, 2, 6, 8, 11, and 3. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel, so use it. You can now return back to the magic mirror to save or upgrade your weapon. Now you are ready to enter the door. This room contains archers that are out of view and silver samurais so be cautious. After killing them, in opposite corner of the corner on the right of the door you enter, you should find some crates, destroy and get a chest that bears a Medicine and now just exit through the door in the corner opposite the corner with the chest. Just follow the path up and fight the monsters if you wish, but they keep returning. Enter the door at the end of the hallway. Chapter 9-1: Battle with Tokichiro Jubei will enter in on Tokichiro. Demons that are helping Tokichiro attack Jubei, but Jubei deals with them. As one of the demons falls, he hits the "steering wheel" and the whole Oni Genbu is thrown of balance. Tokichiro then feels as Oyu enters. Jubei tells Oyu to take control as he chases Tokichiro. In the final confrontation with Tokichiro, Jubei attempts to kill him, but Tokichiro kicks the door open and jumps off all while laughing at Jubei. Chapter 9-2: Attack of Oda's Horse Soldiers Jubei and Oyu will notice that Oda's army is storming Odani Castle, so they need to think of a way to stop them. When you get control of Jubei, just examine the glowing red light. Chapter 9-3: Ruin of Oda's Horse Soldiers Jubei will activate laser cannons, or something, that will attack Oda's horsemen. Jubei and Oyu think they have finished and are safe now but… Chapter 9-4: Crash of Flying Boat A sudden explosion caused by Tokichiro's "surprise" cause the engine for Oni Genbu to go out. As Oni Genbu loses power, it falls from the sky and slams right into Gifu Castle. Jubei jumps off as the ship goes down, but Oyu isn't as lucky and falls back into the burning wreckage. You should now have control of Jubei and walking forward will reveal a magic mirror. On the left of the magic mirror should be Tokichiro's Memo #3. With that in your inventory, go and enter the double doors. As you walk forward… Ekei will come out and tell you that his dream will finally come true. He met with someone and they both had an eye for women and booze and now that person will make him a feudal lord. Jubei is of course proud for Ekei. Ekei tells you he shall show you how elegant the Hozoin fighting style is. Monsters appear and you and Ekei must destroy them. Chapter 10-1-1: Parting for Ekei After destroying the monsters Ekei says his final fair well and walks away. With control back on Jubei, just exit the room. There should be a monster waiting by the stairs in the next room. Kill it, collect the Normal Arrows, and head upstairs. There will be a few monsters on the balcony. Enter the first double door to collect a few items; open the chest to receive the Purple Wedge, Artwork #15 should be on the table to the right of the door, and a soul pool should be waiting. If you were collecting the Artworks congratulations you should have all 18 now. Refer to the SEARCHING ITEMS for more information on the Artworks. You have two choices now; with the Purple Wedge you can enter the Purple Phantom Realm and attempt to complete it to collect the strongest sword in the game, the Rekka-Ken, or you can continue with the guide. If you choose to enter the Phantom Realm, just exit the room and follow the path, you should find a bridge, take the right and there will be another door, if you can't find it check your map. Inside there will be a light, use the Purple Wedge to open up the portal and then enter the Purple Phantom Realm. For more information, refer to the PHANTOM REALM SECTION. If you chose to continue, in the room there should be a back way. Enter it and climb the ladder. Make sure you are ready, since you will face a boss. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing it and absorbing its souls, you should be given the Gold Scale. Examine the big gold fish statue and use the Gold Scale. This should destroy the barrier that prevented you from crossing the bridge. Just climb down the ladder, and exit the room. You can still go to the Purple Phantom Realm if you wish. Regardless, cross the bridge. Once you enter the room across the bridge, turn to the right to see the magic mirror, and if you need to refill your magic go for it. There are still 3 more bosses to fight, and climbing the ladder next to the magic mirror will lead to another one. So be ready, once you are ready climb the ladder. Chapter 10-2: Ginghamphatts' Final Battle A familiar voice should start laughing at you. Ginghamphatts swears to kill Jubei, but of course Jubei won't let him. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-4-1: Ginghamphatts' Final Moment After you defeat Ginghamphatts' his upper body will grab on to his lower body in hopes of pulling himself up from the fire pit he hangs over. His lower body will start to step on Ginghamphatts' head and eventually both halves fall into the flames. Jubei watches and then receives the Strength Orb. Absorb the souls and then head back down the ladder. Use the magic mirror, because there is no coming back from the next battle. Remember you can still go into the Purple Phantom Realm incase you want Rekka-Ken, or just to kill monsters. As you walk towards the elevator in the circular room, examine it. When prompted to use the Strength Orb, accept. Chapter 10-6-2: Their Lines Crossed As the doors swing open, Oyu will come in and call out for Jubei. A cheap slow-motion event starts and they embrace in each other's arms. Jubei had thought that Oyu perished in the burning Oni Genbu. Jubei tells Oyu that she has got to go home, that he will finish it himself. Jubei reminds Oyu that Nobunaga is still her brother and that she must go home. Oyu stops Jubei before he leaves and starts to cry. Jubei tells Oyu, before leaving, he hopes she finds happiness. Finally, Jubei descends on the elevator and Oyu is left in sadness and begins to cry. Chapter 10-7: Battle against Nobunaga Jubei storms in on Nobunaga as he is transferring his power into the Golden Evil Statue. Jubei tells Nobunaga that no one will ever fear his statue, this enrages Nobunaga and he transforms into his demon form. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-8: Advent of Golden Evil Statue After Nobunaga falls, his body will shoot 5 orbs into the mouth of the Golden Evil Statue. I think it is funny how the statue says "You will die" and you hear the elephant noise. Jubei will then get caught in some snake like things and fall through a light to the floor. Jubei will get up and use the power of the orbs to transform himself into a True Onimusha. It is time for the very last battle. I hope you are ready for something for some isn't hard, and for other is impossible. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-9: Settlement The Statue should fall apart and then Nobunaga's face should appear cursing Jubei. It suddenly switches over to Jubei running trying to get out of Gifu Castle before it collapses. The credits should start to roll, congratulations you have just beat Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny. Let the credits roll so you can get your last Default Scenario and save your game. Final Chapter: Love & Sorrow Jubei is looking towards Odani Castle on his horse from a long distance. Oyu walks out into the balcony and looks over into the mountains. Jubei whispers Oyu, and Oyu, as if hearing him, whispers out Jubei. Conclusion: Scenarios completed 61. If you followed this guide 59/100 = 61% Scenario Ranking is what you should get. You can check which scenarios were covered in the SCENARIO SECTION. C. Magoichi Introduction: Deadly Attack by Oda's Army A well-done FMV of what exactly happens to Yagyu Village, the main reason why Jubei returns home. Chapter 1-1: Evil Attack on Yagyu Village The narrator tells us why Jubei has returned home. Jubei just walks into a destroyed Yagyu Village in disbelief. The graphics are beautiful. Yagyu Village: Nothing special, just follow the path and avoid being killed. As you walk forward, you will encounter a short cinema of Jubei's friend, Yasuke, being killed right before he explains what has happened. In the second area, where the river and bridge are, you can find a chest with the map for Yagyu Village. Once you enter the pond, a cinema will show stepping stones explode from the water. Directly to Jubei's right there will be some bamboo trees you can cut to find a chest that will bear an herb. Cross the stepping-stones into the corridor cave. For now ignore the Soul Pool since you can't absorb souls just yet. At the end of the corridor cave you will find a door. Chapter 1-2: Meeting Takajo Takajo will explain who had wrong Jubei and destroyed Yagyu village, but Jubei is at first disbelieving. Later we discover that more happened then we are shown. Takajo explains the legend of the Oni and the purpose of the 5 Orbs. Jubei learns that it is his destiny to stop the demons, as one with the blood of the Oni. Now that you have the Charity Orb you can absorb souls, by holding Circle, but after the scene with Takajo there is a chest with an herb. Turn around and proceed to leave the same way you came, but this time the corridor cave will contain some bad guys. So prepare to battle, and don't forget to absorb souls. As you exit the cave and pass the stepping-stones, take Jubei's right (opposite direction of first Herb). As you continue through this direction you will find a little shrine…show your identity. Chapter 1-3: A New Power Jubei is now blessed with the Thunder Sword Buraitou, his new power. Nice little scene as he swings it around and promises to get revenge on Nobunaga. Now the narrator tells of a short historical background for Imasho Town. Chapter 1-4: Meeting Oyu To me it was rather amusing when they show the man dying after he has found gold. Jubei walks in and witness a few guys pick on Oyu. As Oyu defends herself, Jubei comes to her rescue. The guys ignore Oyu and she walks off [note I have Oyu's alternative costume, man it's weird] and Jubei is left to deal with the men. Imasho Town First lets visit the friendly store [second door on the right, first being the bar], remember this is a walk through for Magoichi designed just to get the majority of his scenarios, so we are only going to buy a few select items. Since you only have 1000 Gold, you might want to go to pathway to get some gold. You can get the White Necklace from the storeowner, for directions go to the NECKLACES section. Now at the store we want; The Egg, Grilled Fish, Conch Shell, Blue Parrot, Plant Book and History Book vol.5 total cost 1250. You can buy Artwork #16 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Magoichi. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. You can head into the bar to collect the treasure case in the back containing a Pipe. Now for our chase after Oyu, leave the store and follow the path to the end where there is a big doorway, before entering you can get the Imasho Town map on the right of the door. Enter it to get yourself your Bow. First break the barrels that block the way to the elevator [right of doorway], and then return to the start [left of doorway] there is a switch. Hit it, run all the way back to the elevator and board it to the top floor to get your bow. Head back out and take left path to find the Gold Mine pathway. This is straight forward, just run up the stairs killing monsters as you go. Try practicing some Issens; they produce more souls, which are vital to upgrading your equipment. Just ignore it, since Magoichi doesn't need it. Once you reach the top of the stairs you will encounter a goofy guy who won't let you pass without a permit. So was this all in vain? Course not. Back track down the pathway, back to the Imasho Town, and this time enter the bar. Chapter 1-5: Meeting Ekei and Magoichi As you enter the bar, you will see a spear cross you and a stranger path and cut the vase/bottle in half. Magoichi is introduced by another angry stranger, and after a few offensive comments, a battle is initiated. Who are these strangers? Well watch the cinema and then Jubei will stop the petty fighting and introduce both characters. Before heading back to the Gold Mines, walk over to Magoichi and give him the following Blue Parrot, Conch Shell, Grilled Fish, History Book vol.5, Pipe, and the Plant Book and he will return Magic Jewel, Medicine, Sponge Cake, Wine, Power Jewel, and European Hat. Back track back up the pathway, and make sure to kill some more monsters. You want to be able to upgrade your equipment soon. As you get to the top, proceed and Jubei will show the permit, check the chest to get the History Book vol.4 for Magoichi. Walk towards the entrance to the Gold Mine and a cinema will start where some guys are scared. They will tell you they saw Oyu walking deeper into the Gold Mine. Once in the cave, you will see a fork in the road. Take the left path first so you can get yourself a Demon Wall Scroll and a chest with a puzzle. The answer to the puzzle is: 4 and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Inside you should find the Buraitou Secret, a special attack for your new sword. Walk back to the fork in the road and proceed to the right. Follow the path and open the chest along the way to get the Gold Mine Map. As you keep going through the linear path, you can find nuggets of gold lying around. Chapter 2-1: Eerie Monsters As you keep walking, a cinema will start where red eyes catch Jubei's attention. Watch the new enemies spawn and get ready to kick some monster butt, oh and a perfect time to practice your new Buraitou Secret [up, down + square]. Keep walking till you come to another fork in the road. This time take the left, and as you enter a red force field should appear behind you. Kill the 4 monsters. Chapter 2-2-3: Magoichi Helps Jubei After you killed the monsters and absorbed their souls, Magoichi will run in and kill a monster. He yells at Ekei for not doing anything and then begins to help you battle the Monsters. Pretty straightforward, just kill the monsters. Chapter 2-3-3: A Missing Baby (For Magoichi) A miner will run in and request your help, the monsters kidnapped his daughter and Ekei offers to help. Ekei runs along with the Miner and Magoichi comments, and then you return to your game. Walk into the now accessible path. Inside you can get the Five Oni Orbs scroll and the ice lance Hyoujin-Yari, you can decide which weapon to use, and both are great starter weapons. Now you must return to the fork in the road before you got trapped in this room this time take the left path. Chapter 2-4-2: Dreams of Men Again Magoichi and Ekei are at it again. Fighting over such small things. Ekei explains how Magoichi makes fun of his dreams. "I laughed because it is silly." Magoichi makes a comment about a "vengeful ghost" and walks off Ekei of course follows. With control of Jubei again, step forward and you will find your first Mozun. Just equip the Hyoujin-Yari and take a whack it. It should explode in a cinema. Now walk forward make sure you pick up the medicine within the chest. You will find a magic mirror, use it to save your game, upgrade your equipment, and make sure to make it useful since you will be facing a boss. On the right of the magic mirror you can put the Charity Orb, once you put it in the wall will collapse in a cinema. Ready? If so, enter. Chapter 2-5: Meeting Ginghamphatts Well here is Boss #1, Ginghamphatts. What a weird name, don't you think so too? Well of course like all demons, he is cocky and will give you a lecture about your humanity. Get ready to smack him around. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After you have defeated Ginghamphatts, absorb his souls and run into the next area. There is a guy lying on the floor, don't talk to him just yet. Walk past him into the next room and get yourself some Gold, check the chest for the Mirror, and behind the crates there is a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 5, 3, 6 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Inside the puzzle you should find the Hyoujin-Yari Secret. Now walk back out and talk to the man on the floor. Chapter 2-6: The Exhausted Factory Owner You will return to the second floor of the Bar, the old man will give you some information on the demons and then tell you that Oyu was taking deeper into the cave. He will give you a Red Ring and tell you he found it inside the Gold Mine. He will rise up, thank you again and leave. There will be a treasure chest, just ignore it since Magoichi won't like it. You will notice someone in the front of the screen lying down, so go over to him and try to talk to him. Chapter 2-7: Meeting Kotaro 2 In a cinema he will attack Jubei and run off. Jubei is now in front of a Statue and a voice calls out to him. Kotaro walks out and introduces himself. Kotaro tells Jubei that they are friends against Nobunaga. Kotaro also tells Jubei not to trust Oyu and that he will figure out who she really is. Now you are in the back of the bar, as you walk in talk to the man who is wearing green to the left of Jubei. He will offer to sell you a map that has markings of where you can find Potassium Nitrate, so buy it from him. Now go back head back into the store. If you want to get the White Necklace from the storeowner, refer to the NECKLACES section, I am only guiding you to get the majority of Magoichi's scenario. You can also get the ball rolling on the Orange Necklace this time around; again refer to the NECKLACES section. At the store buy the following; History Book vol.10 and Western Boots total cost 900 Gold. You can buy Artwork #17 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Magoichi. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. Now go back to the bar and give Magoichi the following, History Book vol.4, History Book vol.10, Mirror and Western Boots and he returns Wind Bell, Normal Bullet, Herb, and Hyoujin-Yari Tech.1. Leave the bar and head back towards the Gold Mine. Along the pathway to the Mine, you will see a cinema introducing a new monster. These monsters aren't that hard. Hack and slash and get some precious souls. As you enter the Mines, you will see a man walking around, talk to him a few times to get the Dice. Chapter 2-8: Picture Map for Potassium Nitrate Remember the map for Potassium Nitrate you bought? Hit start, go to file, then PICTURE and click on Map: P. Nitrate. It should show you a map of the Gold Mines with X's. Remember these, for we must visit them to collect the Potassium Nitrate. Once you've collected all three spots, head back to Magoichi who should be in the second room in the Gold Mine, screen on the right of the very first fork, and give him all three Potassium Nitrates. In return he will give you three burst bullets and the completion of the Chapter. Now just run all the way back to where you found the Factory Owner. Along the way there will be a battle where some tough monsters pick on you, but Magoichi will be present to help you out, DON'T LEAVE TILL ALL THE MONSTERS ARE DEAD because you don't want to ruin your friendship with Magoichi and also, you will see Kotaro around, just ignore him. Once you get back to where you found the Factory Owner, go up to the odd shape on the floor and use the Red Ring. A light path should open up and you should enter it. When you get down, you will walk towards a door and a cinema will start where some monsters bad talk you. Two monsters will appear, first one then when you kill it the other, just dispose of them and head into the unsealed door. In the room with the twisted stairwell now head up it, at the very top there will be a monster swing his sword. Just rid the world of him and head out. You are now in front of Gifu Castle a cinema will show it off (Ibayama in Onimusha Warlords), so now just go up to the door. Chapter 2-10-2: Magoichi Talks about Ekei Magoichi will kill a monster and then jump into the screen. He will tell you a little about Ekei's dreams and how they are stupid. Then he tells you why Jubei is a "vengeful ghost" since when Nobunaga is destroyed, another will take his place. "It never ends." Once you get Jubei back, enter the door. Some archers and monsters will be pesky, rid them, get the two treasure chests containing the Gifu Keep Tower Map and Incenses, and then enter the door on the left, not the big doors. Here you will find a number puzzle. They are rather simple. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 8, 2, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You will get the Bronze Mask (right). Take it and go back into the main room, prepare for some more pesky demons. After their souls are drained enter the big doors. In this room Ekei will be fighting some enemies, you can leave if you wish, since we aren't focusing on Ekei. Now take the Herb from the treasure case and proceed through the unlocked door. Here you will find another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 4, 2, and 8. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel, so just use it when you want. Head into the next set of doors and you will come across a doorway with a blue alter on it. Examine it, then use your Bronze Mask (right) but you will notice that you can't just yet open the door. Proceed on, careful with these monsters and in the next, examine the chest to get History Book vol.1, and enter the door under the stairwell. A man will tell you he has something for you, but the evil energy won't let him, so he asks you find the Purify Charm. Behind him is the Demon's History. After exiting the room, head up the stairwell. Ekei will come in and help you fight the monsters. Chapter 2-11: The Digger's Baby is Found Once the monsters are gone, the baby will begin to cry and the Miner will run in. You have just rescued the Miner's baby. Ekei will have a flash back of his child and snatch the Miner's baby. Ekei will explain his history a little and he begins to cry, kudos on the tears Capcom, kudos. After the scene, you can leave through the only useable door. Here you will find yourself with a few archers, so just kill the archers and proceed into the next door. In the next room, there is an herb in the chest, the Earth Mozun, and the Purify Charm on the table sparkling. Take the herb and the Purify Charm and head back to the room under the stairwell. As you are heading back, Magoichi should appear in the first floor killing some monsters. Dispose of the archers and you can equip your bow to help out Magoichi. Otherwise, don't leave till all the monsters have been cleared. Once you are there, give the man the Purify Charm, he will be grateful and leave something sparkling. Lift the Bronze Mask (left) and head back to where you first put the Bronze Mask (right). Remember, as you walk there is a magic mirror, save, enhance your equipment, so just be ready. Chapter 3-1: Meeting Tokichiro A cinema should start with Tokichiro's funny laugh. Tokichiro will assault Oyu, and then Jubei comes in and orders Oyu to leave. Tokichiro summons some monsters, and Jubei is left to defeat them as Oyu escapes. After you defeat the monsters, head back, and get an herb in the chest. Now proceed into the unsealed doors. Chapter 3-2: Gogandantess Battle 1 Meet Gogandantess, the Greatest Swordsman of all Demons. Gogandantess will introduce himself and then challenge Jubei. You can't win this fight, so just keep yourself on your toes. Block, dodge, and try not to use cure items. Chapter 3-3: Oyu Assists Jubei After some time Oyu will come and rescue you, Gogandantess will call you a coward and leave. Just follow the path; there isn't anywhere to go. Once you get outside examine the big metal orb. Chapter 3-5: Borrow the "Faith" Orb A cinema will start where Jubei asks Oyu for the Orb she wears around her neck. Oyu will hand it over, examine the Metal Orb again and now insert the Faith Orb. Chapter 3-6: Ride an Iron Horse Jubei will tell Oyu to get on the Iron Horse, and they both ride it over Gifu Castle's walls. Ride off into the sunrise and back to Imasho Town. Chapter 3-7: Obtain the "Faith" Orb Once in Imasho Town, Oyu will introduce herself and tell her story of why she was in Gifu Castle. She also tells a little bit of her background and Jubei of his. Right off the bat you can see some attraction that Oyu has for Jubei. Once you gain control of Jubei, walk towards the bar, just ignore the treasure chest. Chapter 3-8-1: Kotaro's Warning about Oyu Kotaro calls you from the back. Kotaro explains his distrust for Oyu and then runs off saying he will prove it that she is not trust worthy. Head back to the store and buy the following, Pocket Watch, Calligraphy Kit, History Book vol.8, Naughty Novel, Goraishinki, and the Pair Ring total cost 5200 Gold. You can buy Artwork #18 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Ekei. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. If you chose to follow how to get the Orange and White Necklace, by referring to the NECKLACES section, then talk to the store owner again and look for the man's father who gave you the chalk, if you didn't do any of this just go to bar. Now run into the bar, before trading with Magoichi buy a Black Beer from the man in green. Go to Magoichi and give him the Pair Ring in exchange for the Rouge. This is the only time we trade with others, so run upstairs to the balcony and trade Oyu the Rouge for the Pirate Costume. Head back down stairs and give Magoichi the following, Black Beer, Calligraphy Kit, Dice, Goraishinki, History Book vol. 1, History Book vol. 8, Incenses, Naughty Novel, Pirate Costume, and the Pocket Watch and he will return Normal Bullet, Herb, Normal Bullet, Buraitou Tech.1, Cameo, Normal Bullet, Medicine, Fossilized Bone, Secret Medicine, and Normal Bullet. After trading with him, these items should guarantee that Magoichi will be the Story Character and the Majority of his scenarios will open up, remember not to trade with others, don't want to jinx yourself. Note, read the HOW TO USE MY WALKTHROUGHS of the WALKTHROUGHS section for better understand. Head out of the bar and into the market, there should be someone holding a rather weird umbrella so go up to her. Chapter 4-1: Meeting Jujudormah This ugly demon thinks she is the hottest thing alive. She tells you of her love for Nobunaga and how she will stop Jubei and Takajo. So the chase is on, Jujudormah is after Takajo, and Jubei rushes back to Yagyu Village to protect her. Yagyu Village 2 Welcome back to Yagyu Village. This is again straightforward. Take control of Jubei and head to where you first met Takajo, but along the way… Chapter 4-2-4: Magoichi Helps Jubei 2 As soon as you cross the bridge a cinema will show Magoichi coming out to help Jubei. Magoichi will tell you to leave this to him, BUT!!! NEVER EVER leave Magoichi alone during battles. Since he is your major character, leaving him will lower your friendship with him, so stay and fight till all the monsters are dead; this will help your friendship After you killed the monsters go to Takajo. Cross the stepping-stones, go through the corridor cave and come out where Takajo gave you the Charity Orb. Chapter 4-4: Takajo's End You made it just in time to see Jujudormah kill Takajo. Jubei goes to Takajo and holds her as her dying breaths are used up. Chapter 4-5: Mother & Father Oyu walks in and asks what is wrong. Jubei explains that when he first met Takajo, she explained to him how she met his father and fell instantly in love. Chapter 4-6: The Oath Takajo reminds Jubei of his destiny and importance. Jubei now even angrier and is so set on destroying Nobunaga. Jubei is half Oni, there for it is his destiny to stop the demons. After the Cinema pick up the sparkling item, Ring of Takajo, and now you have to return to where you started. Back track through the corridor cave, over the stepping-stones, but you will notice Magoichi. Chapter 5-1: Magoichi Gives a Bomb Talk to him to get the Saiga Bomb, now run to where you first got the Buraitou. On the left of it examine the rocks, then use the Saiga Bomb to expose a chest that contains the Green Necklace, for more information check the NECKLACES section. Run back to the door, along the way pick up the frog and exit. Walk past the bridge, killing all the monsters allowing the way for their souls. Once you are back at where you started, go into the door. Once you are in the house, travel straight, hop onto the next level, and whack at the screen door to reveal a chest that contains the Abacus. Hop on to the next ledge and run straight and then turn left hop on and kill the monsters. Run to the end of the corridor to find a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 2 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel use it when you want. Travel back and knock down the screen doors. You should be able to see a chest, go to it and inside there is a Kaleidoscope. Now run into the room that was exposed by you slashing at the screen doors. There are two paths to go, one away from the camera and another towards it. Head towards the camera first and follow the u-turn path. Artwork #10 should be on a shelf, at the end of the u-turn path hack at the wall to expose a little secret Jubei never knew about, and inside collect half of the Four Guardians Art. Now head to the other path, break the barrels to reach the chest that has the Fork, and leave through the only path. There will be some annoying archers and silver samurais, so be cautious. Hop on the ledge and hack at the screen doors. Take the second half of the map from the chest and hack at the next set of screen doors. Inside the chest take the Oolong Tea. Now return back to where you had entered from and examine the Drawer like object. It is saying an object is missing, use Ring of Takajo to unveil a puzzle. To solve the puzzle hit start, go to File, to the sub-menu PICTURE, and examine the Four Guardians Art. The answer is [Left] point it to white, [top] point it to black, [right] point it to blue, and [bottom] point it to red. As the machine reacts a stairwell should appear. Travel down it. In the underground cave, as you are walking you notice that the floor shakes. Jubei jumps off before the floor gives ways and reveals a deadly set of spikes. Just push the directional button towards the spikes and Jubei will jump and grab on to the ledge. Push up and he will climb up. As you precede you will see lots of ropes, cut them and a big spike will come down in a cinema. When you get control of Jubei, quickly hit R2 and run back to the spikes, jump across, if you are daring get up on the ledge and then jump across and wait till the spike goes over you. If you are not daring, after jumping across the first time, the spike is chasing you, just wait till it passes over you, when it does push up and then jump across. Follow the path to the exit, and you will find yourself in Fog Valley. Ignore the chests and just move forward. Kill all the monsters that get in your way, and as you pass another Mozun, ignore it since you don't have the right magic yet. Once you pass all three ladders, you are at a bridge. Magoichi will pop up to help so you must stay and kill the monsters with him. After the monsters are all dead go and trade with him. Give him the following, Abacus, Fork, Frog, Kaleidoscope and Oolong Tea and he will then return; Fire Arrow, Fire Arrow, Fire Arrow, Normal Bullets, and Fire Arrow. After you have finished trading with him continue along the path. Two treasure chests lay ahead, one with the Fog Valley Map and another with an herb. From the Wind Shrine get your Senpumaru and back track to where you saw the Mozun. Across the bridge, down the ladder, down the second ladder, and there it should be. Use the Senpumaru to get Nobunaga's Knowledge. Once you are back to where you got the Senpumaru, save it and enhance your weapons since you will have to head into the Forest Maze. There are monsters along the way so kill them and gather some souls. After the first straight area, you will come to a fork with a little floating bug demon. Will it quickly, for they disappear. After you kill it a cinema will make the fork turn into a straight path. Follow it, again more monsters, and again a fork, this time the little bug guy got protection. Quickly dispose of the back up, or just aim for the bug guy, killing him will return the fork to a straight path and eliminate all the monsters. Go into the new area, another straight path with monsters, keep going, another fork with the bug guy and monsters. Same as before, this time as it turns into one path, follow it and… Chapter 5-5: Jujudormah and Ginghamphatts Jujudormah should appear laughing at you as she threats you. She is about ready to duel you when Ginghamphatts appears Ginghamphatts and Jujudormah argue like siblings and Ginghamphatts gets the honor of fighting you. Say hello to boss #2. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After the boss is dead you get Nobunaga's Reign, take it and leave. Chapter 5-6: Reasons to Fight As you come out of the Maze Forest you find Magoichi and Ekei fighting. Magoichi tells Jubei that he understands how Jubei feels after the death of Takajo. Ekei challenges Magoichi's claim and says not to trust him, that Magoichi might be serving Nobunaga and out to kill both Jubei and Ekei. Magoichi leaves and Ekei chases after him. After the cinema take the left path to a grassy area. Ekei should be there and don't leave till you kill the monsters, once that is done talk to him to get a Medicine. You will see another Mozun so go dispose of it with the Buraitou. After you get Nobunaga's Dignity. Don't go in direction that is the opposite of the pond since it is a dead end. At the pond, go about half way and walk towards the big yellow like rock. Chapter 5-8: Magoichi Shoots a Cannon As Magoichi setups up his cannon, you must simply protect him from the bad guys. Don't let Magoichi get hit to many times, or he will miss when he fires his cannon. After the cannon breaks the rock collect the two sparkling things, one a Power Jewel the other a Magic Jewel, and cross the pond. As you enter the next room on the side towards the camera, Jubei's left, is a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 9 and 5. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get Senpumaru Secret. After the puzzle go into the room with the spikes and examine the middle. You should be asked if you want to pull a lever, pull it and quickly an image will flash. It is an image of the three Nobunaga statues you have. Memorize the image, order of statues, and then place the statues in the same order to proceed. My game: Order Nobunaga's Rein, Nobunaga's Knowledge, and Nobunaga's Dignity. After the doors open run through and get ready for some monster bashing. Remember if Magoichi shows up you can't leave until all the monsters are dealt with. Enter the door and kill the monster blocking the door. Near the Magic mirror is Jujudormah's Diary, at the magic mirror enhance and save since… Chapter 5-9: A Last Kiss of Jujudormah Jujudormah will be sweating a picture of Nobunaga. Jubei offends her and she gets angry. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After you slay the beast Jujudormah, you will get the Honesty Orb, and now you should see a red switch. Hit it and the wall will open up. Follow the path; open the chest to get an herb, then run to run because soon afterwards the cave will fill with poisonous gas. Chapter 5-10: Jump Over a Cliff When you get to the end of the cliff, you will watch a cinema of Jubei jump off into the water. The cinema looks pretty nice. In the underwater cave, you will find a chest with the Oni's Sacred Place. Save and then go examine the other pool of water. Put in the Orb of Honesty in to move forward. Chapter 5-11: To Oni's Sacred Place A cool cinema shows Jubei going to the Oni Sacred Place. I like how he almost falls off. Then Gogandantess shows up for, with the cool quote: "Your eyes betray you. That you are thrilled to see a warrior greater then you." Chapter 6-1: Gogandantess Battle 2 Once again you can't defeat him. So I recommend you try to conserve your energy and cure items. Try to dodge and attack when you can. Don't be scared of using your magic, since it will get restored after the battle. After some time, Gogandantess will tell you Odani Castle will fall and then head off. Oyu will come to your aid and will go ahead of Jubei. Chapter 6-2: Takajo's Advice As Oyu enters the Oni Sacred Place, Takajo will appear in front of her. Takajo will thank Oyu for helping Jubei in his time of need and will then tell Oyu how to find the Sacred Flute, so that Jubei can defeat Gogandantess. Now that you got control of Oyu, head around the object in the middle [earth shrine] and behind it to a staircase next to the magic mirror. Head down it and up the other side, you should be careful because as you walk along the path two monsters will come up and attack you. Since Oyu has her level 3 charge, you should use it on them and they should fall easily. Run and get the Key Plate. With it, you can now return to where you met Takajo and use it on the Earth Shrine to unlock the doors. Kill all the monsters that get in your way, use Oyu's magic since it allows you to release souls of monsters with simple attacks. You don't have to kill them. This is great to get some extra souls and restore life when you are low. You should must to the path on the right of the Earth Shrine, since the other is a dead end. As you enter the first corridor, get ready to fight some monsters from here till the end, because it is going to be hard. Since Oyu has a small life bar, she can die easily, but using her level 3 charged you can make the big monsters suffer. I warn you to be careful of the silver armored samurais, because they can gang up on your and their long-range attacks can prevent you from getting close enough to unleash your level 3 attacks. As you go through the rooms, you won't find items or chests, only in the room with the Silver Samurai's, where there is a greenish-yellow pool in the middle, will you find the Oni's Sacred Place Map #1 in the chest and on the other side of the big mouth statue, a Medicine sparkling on the floor. You should know be in a room with glass tiles, blue colored, where fish explode from the bottom. Just block, evade, kill what you can, and eventually the red force field on the ladder would disappear. As you go down the ladder, you will have to find a rather annoying monster watch out for the crocodile like monsters who will distract you and the monster's tentacles. After you kill it there will be a hole in the wall, make sure to get the Adarga from the chest. Enter the hole in the wall and travel down the Fog Bridge. Be careful with the monsters for they can cause serious damage on the narrow walk way. When you get to the magic mirror, save and equip the Gladius that is in the chest. The next area contains some very strong monsters, so be ready. The first monster, the yellow bull, can be taken down with one level 3 charged attack, the next monster, the red bull, can actually kill you easily, and it will take you around 3 or 4 level 3 charged attacks. If the red bull hits you, roll out of the way as you get up, or lay there till you get an open chance, because if he cheats you like he did me, then he will hit you as you try to get up and basically kill you. Chapter 6-3: Oyu Finds the Sacred Flute Congratulations, you just defeated the bulls and got your hands on the Sacred Flute. Now, you must venture back to where Jubei was and handed it over. There is nothing else to do with Oyu, you can either fight and get some souls for Jubei using Oyu's cool magic, or just head straight for him and get on with the game. Chapter 6-4: Oyu Hands Over the Sacred Flute Oyu returns to Jubei with the Sacred Flute that Takajo told her to find. Jubei tells Oyu that his wounds have healed. Now Jubei must go into the Oni's Sacred Place himself and find the rest of the secrets that are hidden. Oyu departs. Firsts things first, make sure to step up to the Earth Shrine and get your Dokoutsui. I've gone ahead twice before without it only to venture back. Head in the same direction that you did with Oyu and just kill the monsters. Once you get to that area where the Earth Mozun is, kill all the monsters, break the Earth Mozun, and then kill the monster in the next area but don't forget the Circle Key on the floor. Head up the ladder and back track back to where you got the hammer. Chapter 6-9: Tokichiro Sets a Trap for Magoichi As you enter, you see Magoichi asking Tokichiro where he hid the gold. Jubei walks in and asks Magoichi if it is true. Magoichi doesn't answer, but in walks in Ekei and starts to accuse Magoichi. Magoichi doesn't care and walks away; Ekei gets angry and chases after him. Back in the main corridor use the magic mirror effectively. After using the mirror, turn into that door immediately to the left. You will find yourself in a blue u-turn corridor, so kill the monsters, collect the Lift Instructions, and then head to the end of the corridor. You will find a ceiling fan, just switch over to Senpumaru and use the magic attack. There is a sparkling item, a Magic Liquid, just in case you don't have enough magic. As the cinema shows the ceiling spin, you will notice that the elevator now has power. Take it down, and pick up the Oni's Place #2 Map in the treasure chest. Just follow the path into the door and as you walk in a cinema will show a robot flying in. You can choose to fight and kill it, if you do another one will appear, if not you can just avoid it and the other one. In the corner, next to the ladder and first robot, there is a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 12, 2, and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a nice Tanegashima for your efforts. With that in your inventory, climb up the ladder, follow the path to another ladder, and climb down. Enter the door to find a magic pool and next to the operating table there is number grid puzzle. The answer to the puzzle is: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Solving the puzzle will give you the Golden Key. Now we must head back to the room with the elevator and map. Just exit through the door, climb the ladder, follow the path, climb down the ladder, kill the robots if you wish, and exit through the door. As you enter the room again, you should see a ladder in the bottom-right corner. Climb it to find a panel, examine it and accept to use the Golden Key. A cinema will show the moving boxes stopping, so now you can cross them just like the stepping-stones in Yagyu Village. On the other side, examine the door and accept to use the Circle Key. You can find a Tokichiro's Memo #1 on the floor. Examine the statue to open up a puzzle. Check the PUZZLES section for the answer. Solving the puzzle will make a Light Path appear. Enter it and soon you should appear on top of a tower. Turn around, hit R2, and walk forward. Some people complained that they didn't know how to get off the top of the tower. Follow the path to a ladder, and then just go down it. As you go down you will find a puzzle box on your left. The answer to the puzzle is: 2, 4, 6, 8, 1 and 7. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Talisman, very useful, and now you can down track the stairwell. If you follow this guide there should be monster archers, dispose of them. If there are no monster archers, then you will have to do Ekei's sub quest, refer to Ekei's Walkthrough for that. At the bottom there will be a few monsters, kill them, open the treasure chest to attain the Green Wedge, and use the magic mirror to save, especially if you will want to go to the Green Phantom Realm. As you exit the room, you will come to a split. Go to the right, only if you are collecting the artworks and want to visit the Green Phantom Realm, other wise go to the left. If you go right, equip Buraitou and break the Mozun. Enter the door and examine the shelves to find Artwork #11, and use the Green Wedge on the light to open up the Green Phantom Realm, for more information on it check the PHANTOM REALMS section. If you go right pass through the small corridor, once you enter this area, there will be some monsters. Chapter 7-4: Magoichi Hands a Gun to Jubei Magoichi will appear and hand you the Tri-Barrel. You will have it equipped so either change equipment or start firing at the monsters. Remember you can't leave till you kill all the monsters, and if you leave prior to that you won't get credit for the chapter. After killing all the monsters, travel along the path, don't take the first turn, and you will come to a treasure chest, which contains the Cherry Key. Exit through the door on the right, after you unlock it. This should all look familiar. You can either leave to the next area, entering the Gifu Castle, or kill the monsters. Once you enter the castle, there will be some more pesky monsters. Deal with them and enter the double doors. Fight the monsters, and instead of entering the door on the right, head out through the doors directly in front of the door you came through. We want to return to where you found the Purify Charm your first time here. Keep going through, ignore the door with the blue alter, pass the magic mirror, and into the door. Ignore the treasure chest and just head upstairs. Kill monsters as you, now just enter the only doors here, you should now be in the wrecked room's top floor. Enter the door on the top and you will find a Mozun. Whip out Dokoutsui and take care of it. Enter the room to find a medicine in the far corner, and a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 9, 5, 8, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should find the Dokoutsui Secret. With that in your inventory, lets back track. Exit the room, cross the path and exit. Fight the monsters, and head down the stairs. Ignore the chest and run out the door across the door underneath the stairs. Pass the magic mirror, pass the blue alter door, and exit through the door in the hallway. Exit the small room, and you are back to where you noticed the locked door. You can fight the monsters here, or enter the door on the right, using the Cherry Key. Once in the new room, ignore the black treasure chests and walk inside to find the Crescent Key, Human as Food, Artwork #12, and another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 11, 1, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel, so use it. Once you get everything you just need to back track to where you found the Cherry Key. Just exit through the door, exit through the double doors on the right of the screen, run through the wrecked room and exit to the keep. You should now be where there is a path that leads in a circle. Monsters appear and so does Magoichi. Dispose of the monsters and then leave through the door back to the East Area. With the Crescent Key, you can now open the door that we first ignored. Kill the monsters and head for the door to unlock it. Do not leave through the door that is directly in front of the door you enter. As you enter, take the path to the right to the Mozun. Switch over to the Hyoujin-Yari so that you can break the Mozun, and then enter the door. In the room you can ignore the chest, and follow the path behind the vases to find a Light Path. After entering the Light Path, you will find yourself in a cave. You are now next to a magic mirror, run straight and you should catch a glimpse of a treasure chest, open it to get a Medicine. Many people get stuck here, so just return to the Light Path, since a statue blocks the obvious route. Facing the magic mirror turn to Jubei's left, walk straight, and you should find yourself facing a dark tunnel, now follow it. Chapter 7-5: Magoichi Works to Help Jubei Magoichi is examining one of the statues when a figure from the shadows shoots a bullet. Jubei walks in on time to intercept the bullet. Being hit from the bullet Jubei turns to stone. Magoichi reacts and shoots the gun out of Tokichiro's hand and destroys it. As Tokichiro runs away satisfied with petrifying Jubei, Magoichi tells Jubei that he will find a way to reverse the petrifaction. As you take control of Magoichi, you get Tokichiro's Memo #2. First open the black treasure chest to receive the Green Bracelet. This is all pretty straight forward, just run through the tunnels with Magoichi. Since Magoichi has unlimited ammunition, you can go gun-ho. Just be careful since Magoichi is rather slow at turning when he is aiming, monsters can come up behind you and take a whack at you. As you go through the tunnels you will eventually reach a spot where there is an open bridge. Just kill the monsters and hit the switch on the left to bring it down. Keep moving to find a magic mirror. There is a chest that will bear the Demon Cave Map, and along the wall there is a hidden black chest that has the Rasha Gloves. As you leave the room with the magic mirror, you will find yourself in a u-turn like path. Kill the monsters and try to restore your life and magic since the next room will contain a tough red bull and some rolling monsters. You can't exit this room; so make sure you won't die upon entering it. The next room will contain some hard to kill silver samurais. Be ready, Magoichi is really slow to attack and to target, these samurais can easily kill you. After clearing that room, you will find two chests; one bears the Great Powder Tube, and the other the Flamethrower+Fuel. Chapter 7-6: Magoichi Finds Great Powder Tube Magoichi will hold the tube in his hand and realize that he can save Jubei with it. If you follow this room to the end, you will notice a wind Mozun won't let you pass. You have to back track all the way, as you enter the room with the magic mirror, use the Great Powder Tube on the frozen guy to get a Medicine. Unfortunately when you reach the bridge again a monster, like the one from Fog Valley, will steal the Great Powder Tube. You have to kill it, but with all the other monsters in the room, it is hard to target it. If you hear it make a squealing noise, step over where it fell and died to recollect the Great Powder Tube, otherwise if it escapes, exit the room and return to try again. After this ordeal is done, just return to where Jubei was left petrified. Kill and absorb souls as you go. Chapter 7-7: Magoichi Releases Jubei Magoichi uses the Great Powder Tube on Jubei. Jubei isn't too sure of what just happened and thanks Magoichi. Magoichi tells Jubei he should thanking him and then hands him the Great Powder Tube. With the Great Powder Tube in your position, use it on the petrified people in the room to get a Medicine. Leave the room and turn around, don't just use the Light Path yet, to where you will see other petrified men. Use the Great Powder Tube and get their items. Now travel down the path that was before blocked, use the Great Powder Tube to get a Secret Medicine. Enter the room and you will find a chest that contains an Herb and a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 5, 4, and 1. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel, so use it. If you walk into the next room, you will find the Wind Mozun, but Magoichi has already been there, so there is no need for you to bother. Just turn around and head back out the Light Path. Leave the room and go through the path to the door that is away from the camera. Chapter 7-10: Magoichi Tells the Truth As you walk in you find Magoichi killing some monsters. Magoichi gets injured and then you must fight the monsters. Quickly take care of them. After they are gone, Magoichi begins to tell you the truth about his past. How he is here to stop Nobunaga before he gets to Saiga Village. Magoichi doesn't want it to happen since that is the village where he was raised after his mother's death. The people of the village raised him as if he were one of their kids, so now Magoichi will do what he can to protect their good nature. Ekei is ease dropping and begins to cry at Magoichi's callous front. Exit through the door and fight the monsters in the next room. After you clear them, just enter the room with the stairwell and head up. You should find yourself in the room with the waterfall. Just run to the shack on the other side of the waterfall. In the shack take the Hunting Schedule, and use the mirror to your liking. Walk down the stairs and examine the boat. Cross it to the area across the lake. Once you arrive, there will be some monsters so just take care of them. After killing the monsters enter the building but be ready since two strong monsters will be waiting. Dispose of them with either magic or level 3 charged attacks. Before leaving this room collect the following, Guildenstern Letter, Artwork #13, Fortinbras Book, and Golden Evil Statue. Upon entering the next room, you will find two statues. Use the Great Powder on the statues to rescue the men. Talk to the man on the left 3 times to get a Secret Medicine, then just walk between them into the door. Examine the statues to unveil a puzzle. Check the PUZZLES section for the answer. After finishing the puzzle, a Light Path should open up behind Jubei, so enter it. You should know appear in The Oni's Sacred Place: Blood Pond. Take the Special M. Liquid from the treasure chest and exit through the door. In the next room, the door directly to the left can be opened with the 3 fossils to attain the Black Necklace. Refer to the NECKLACES section and SEARCHING ITEMS for more information. The next room contains a magic mirror and in the chest is the Oni's Place Map #3, and Magoichi. Chapter 8-1: Magoichi's Pride Talk to Magoichi and he will ask if you really thing that the sword is stronger then the gun. If you select the sword, the chapter will begin and you have to defeat 20 monsters before Magoichi does. Doing so will earn you the Senpumaru Tech.1, and the chapter completion. If you chose the gun, then this chapter will be bypassed and Magoichi will basically say of course the gun is stronger. Check your inventory, your gifts, and see if your egg has hatched into a chicken, if that chicken has laid a brown egg, if that brown egg hatched into a brown chick, if that chick grew into a brown chicken, if that brown chicken laid a gold egg, if that gold egg hatched into a gold chick, and if that gold chick grew into a gold chicken. If so, trade the Golden Chicken to Ekei to boost your friendship; this is the last chance you have to trade. After exiting the circular room, you should find yourself in a room with lots of turns. Taking the first turn will lead you to two dead ends, but one contains a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 4, 6, 1, and 7. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel. Turn around and there will be a monster that appeared. Dispose of it and head back towards the hallway where you took the turn. Back in the hallway continue forward to find a split in the path. Taking the route away from the camera will lead to a chest, which bears an herb, and a monster will again appear behind you. Kill the monster and return to the split. This time head towards the camera follow the path and you will find a ceiling fan and elevator again. Switch over to Senpumaru and use the wind magic to activate the elevator. Once the cinema shows the elevator being powered up, ride it up. As soon as you are in the next room there is a sparkling item, pick it up to get the Scarlet Key. Among the trash there is also Artwork #14. Exit through the door at the end of the hallway, in the direction away from the camera. You should know be in the place where you got the Dokoutsui, run to the corner and use the magic mirror. Take the door to the left of the mirror, back into the U-turn corridor, and follow it to the elevator. Ride the elevator down and walk forward to the door. Kill monsters if you wish along the way. In this room go to the ladder by the open chest and climb it. Follow the path to another ladder then climb it down, now enter the door. Inside walk forward, turn right and you will find a red glowing door. Use the Scarlet Key on it to unlock it. Enter it and walk forward. Chapter 8-4: Tokichiro's Trap Jubei walks in on Tokichiro trying to capture Oyu. As Jubei rescues Oyu, Tokichiro pulls on a lever that makes the floor beneath Jubei and Oyu retracts and they fall into Tokichiro's trap. Chapter 8-5: From Oyu to Oichi Jubei and Oyu have time to talk, so Oyu tells Jubei of her plans to return to Odani Castle. She also tells him of her true identity, in which she is Oichi, the sister of Nobunaga. Oyu tells of her husband having 3 daughters from his ex-wife, and how she felt betrayed. She felt it was her responsibility to stop Nobunaga from killing, but she got caught in Gifu Castle. Oyu confess how she feels for Jubei, and she admits in being selfish. Oyu decides to return to Odani Castle because of her daughters, "blood or no blood." Jubei moves in on Oyu and is about to kiss her when Tokichiro starts to laugh and sets off an explosion. So the explosion that seems to have destroyed the wall failed to kill you. Interesting? Walk through the cracked door, and away from the camera there is a magic mirror. Use it, and save since you will fight a boss. Walking towards the camera are two chests, which bear a Secret Medicine and Gogandantess' Shield. When you are ready open the door on the right of the last treasure chest. Chapter 8-6: Gogandantess Final battle As Jubei and Oyu are walking in, an explosion knocks Jubei away and Oyu into a hole. Oyu clings for life when suddenly Gogandantess steps in to save her. Gogandantess boasts about men wanting to save weak women. Well now Gogandantess again boasts his great swordsmanship and challenges Jubei to "the final round." Jubei rushes Gogandantess to hurry it up, since Gogandantess likes stating his name. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing Gogandantess, you will get a cinema of him asking Jubei to state his name. When Gogandantess turns into souls you should get the Respect Orb, and then just absorb his souls. Walk out through the door that is right there. You should find yourself in a burning room. Run forward and climb that ladder, there are a few items worth of interest. Once you climb the ladder, on the pathway walk all the way to the end, and take the path that leads towards the camera. Jump across the flames and go forward to find a chest that bears an herb. Now run back to the pathway. On the pathway you can find a pathway in the middle of the ladder, and the pathway you just took to find the herb. You can take the path to find a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 1, 12, and 2. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should find a Power Jewel so use it. Now turn around and head back to the pathway, but as you hope onto the path, hold forward to hop onto another pathway with a treasure chest behind two metal objects. Swing at the objects and then find some cover because they explode. The treasure chest should bear a Medicine. Walk back to where you climb the ladder and walk towards the camera, Jubei should start jumping across like he did the stepping-stones and boxes. Now just climb the ladder and exit. You should remember this room in the Oni's Sacred Place. Walk to the middle and examine the huge statue, you can talk to Oyu if you want, when prompt to insert the Respect Orb, accept. Chapter 8-7: Ancient Flying Boat Flies As Jubei inserts the Orb, a chain of events should start. Tokichiro starts to laugh as the place seems to fall apart and monsters attack Jubei and Oyu. Tokichiro ends up stealing the Oni Genbu, so Jubei and Oyu are left to think of how to chase after it. As the building starts to collapse, Jubei and Oyu run upstairs to seek shelter. Now that you can control Jubei, use the magic mirror effectively. Walk forward and examine the flying object from the cinema. This can be a little tricky. There are lots of different means of doing this; you must simply rotate the left analog stick counter-clockwise, and the right analog stick clockwise. Do it at an even pace, because if you notice one side might still be lower then the other. If this happens, you have to rotate the side that is highest in the opposite direction that you were rotating it, this will lower it, then you can rotate the lower side some more to catch up. You are timed to do this, so you must try hard and be fast. Chapter 8-8: Chase the Flying Boat After completing the event and opening up the door, Jubei and Oyu will get on the flying thing. They will start to fly after the flying Oni Genbu, and jump on to it to get on. Oyu of course falls and Jubei has to reach out and save her. Jubei and Oyu now find themselves on the Oni Genbu and break a window to get in. Time to find Tokichiro, Oyu runs off and you are left with Jubei. First follow the path to the end, ignore the magic mirror, don't enter the door, ignore the chest, and you will find a sparkling item. With the Magic Liquid in your inventory, you can return to the treasure chest, which happens to be another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 5, 2, 6, 8, 11, and 3. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel, so use it. You can now return back to the magic mirror to save or upgrade your weapon. Now you are ready to enter the door. This room contains archers that are out of view and silver samurais, so be cautious. After killing them, in opposite corner of the corner on the right of the door you enter, you should find some crates, destroy and get a chest that bears a Medicine, and now just exit through the door in the corner opposite the corner with the chest. Just follow the path up and fight the monsters if you wish, but they keep returning. Enter the door at the end of the hallway. Chapter 9-1: Battle with Tokichiro Jubei will enter in on Tokichiro. Demons that are helping Tokichiro attack Jubei, but Jubei deals with them. As one of the demons falls, he hits the "steering wheel" and the whole Oni Genbu is thrown of balance. Tokichiro then feels as Oyu enters. Jubei tells Oyu to take control as he chases Tokichiro. In the final confrontation with Tokichiro, Jubei attempts to kill him, but Tokichiro kicks the door open and jumps off all while laughing at Jubei. Chapter 9-2: Attack of Oda's Horse Soldiers Jubei and Oyu will notice that Oda's army is storming Odani Castle, so they need to think of a way to stop them. When you get control of Jubei, just examine the glowing red light. Chapter 9-3: Ruin of Oda's Horse Soldiers Jubei will activate laser cannons, or something, that will attack Oda's horsemen. Jubei and Oyu think they have finished and are safe now but… Chapter 9-4: Crash of Flying Boat A sudden explosion caused by Tokichiro's "surprise" cause the engine for Oni Genbu to go out. As Oni Genbu loses power, it falls from the sky and slams right into Gifu Castle. Jubei jumps off as the ship goes down, but Oyu isn't as lucky and falls back into the burning wreckage. You should now have control of Jubei and walking forward will reveal a magic mirror. On the left of the magic mirror should be Tokichiro's Memo #3. With that in your inventory, go and enter the double doors. As you walk forward Ekei starts swing at Jubei. Ekei tells that his dream was to become a feudal lord, and if he brings Jubei's head then he will be granted his dream. Jubei warns Ekei that he will not take it easy, and a fight starts. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-1-2: Ekei's Last Moment Ekei tells you how he has no wife and child, only "booze and women." I get a feeling Jubei feels sorry for him, and as Ekei dies, Jubei collects Ekei's Keepsake [which is equal to a Perfect Medicine]. With control back on Jubei, just exit the room. There should be a monster waiting by the stairs in the next room. Kill it, collect the Normal Arrows, and head upstairs. There will be a few monsters on the balcony. Enter the first double door to collect a few items; open the chest to receive the Purple Wedge, Artwork #15 should be on the table to the right of the door, and a soul pool should be waiting. If you were collecting the Artworks congratulations you should have all 18 now. Refer to the SEARCHING ITEMS for more information on the Artworks. You have two choices now, with the Purple Wedge you can enter the Purple Phantom Realm and attempt to complete it to collect the strongest sword in the game, the Rekka-Ken, or you can continue with the guide. If you choose to enter the Phantom Realm, just exit the room and follow the path, you should find a bridge, take the right and there will be another door, if you can't find it check your map. Inside there will be a light, use the Purple Wedge to open up the portal and then enter the Purple Phantom Realm. For more information, refer to the PHANTOM REALM SECTION. If you chose to continue, in the room there should be a back way. Enter it and climb the ladder. Make sure you are ready, since you will face a boss. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing it and absorbing its souls, you should be given the Gold Scale. Examine the big gold fish statue and use the Gold Scale. This should destroy the barrier that prevented you from crossing the bridge. Just climb down the ladder, and exit the room. You can still go to the Purple Phantom Realm if you wish. Regardless, cross the bridge. Once you enter the room across the bridge, turn to the right to see the magic mirror, and if you need to refill your magic go for it. There are still 3 more bosses to fight, and climbing the ladder next to the magic mirror will lead to another one. So be ready, once you are ready climb the ladder. Chapter 10-2: Ginghamphatts' Final Battle A familiar voice should start laughing at you. Ginghamphatts swears to kill Jubei, but of course Jubei won't let him. After you do some damage to Ginghamphatts, Magoichi will come in. Chapter 10-4-2: Parting for Magoichi Magoichi kills Ginghamphatts with one shot of his new weapon. Magoichi tells you that Nobunaga will attack Saiga Village at the same time as Odani Castle, so he must leave to help protect it. After you get the Strength Orb, just head back down the ladder. Walk over to the elevator and examine it, when prompted to select yes to insert the Strength Orb. Chapter 10-6-2: Their Lines Crossed As the doors swing open, Oyu will come in and call out for Jubei. A cheap slow-motion event starts and they embrace in each other's arms. Jubei had thought that Oyu perished in the burning Oni Genbu. Jubei tells Oyu that she has got to go home, that he will finish it himself. Jubei reminds Oyu that Nobunaga is still her brother and that she must go home. Oyu stops Jubei before he leaves and starts to cry. Jubei tells Oyu, before leaving, he hopes she finds happiness. Finally, Jubei descends on the elevator and Oyu is left in sadness and begins to cry. Chapter 10-7: Battle against Nobunaga Jubei storms in on Nobunaga as he is transferring his power into the Golden Evil Statue. Jubei tells Nobunaga that no one will ever fear his statue, this enrages Nobunaga and he transforms into his demon form. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-8: Advent of Golden Evil Statue After Nobunaga falls, his body will shoot 5 orbs into the mouth of the Golden Evil Statue. I think it is funny how the statue says "You will die" and you hear the elephant noise. Jubei will then get caught in some snake like things and fall through a light to the floor. Jubei will get up and use the power of the orbs to transform himself into a True Onimusha. It is time for the very last battle. I hope you are ready for something for some isn't hard, and for other is impossible. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-9: Settlement The Statue should fall apart and then Nobunaga's face should appear cursing Jubei. It suddenly switches over to Jubei running trying to get out of Gifu Castle before it collapses. The credits should start to roll, congratulations you have just beat Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny. Let the credits roll so you can get your last Default Scenario and save your game. Final Chapter: Love & Sorrow Jubei is looking towards Odani Castle on his horse from a long distance. Oyu walks out into the balcony and looks over into the mountains. Jubei whispers Oyu, and Oyu, as if hearing him, whispers out Jubei. Conclusion: Scenarios completed, 63. If you followed this guide 63/100 = 63% Scenario Ranking is what you should get. You can check which scenarios were covered in the SCENARIO SECTION. D. Kotaro A well-done FMV of what exactly happens to Yagyu Village, the main reason why Jubei returns home. Chapter 1-1: Evil Attack on Yagyu Village The narrator tells us why Jubei has returned home. Jubei just walks into a destroyed Yagyu Village in disbelief. The graphics are beautiful. Yagyu Village: Nothing special, just follow the path and avoid being killed. As you walk forward, you will encounter a short cinema of Jubei's friend, Yasuke, being killed right before he explains what has happened. In the second area, where the river and bridge are, you can find a chest with the map for Yagyu Village. Once you enter the pond, a cinema will show stepping stones explode from the water. Directly to Jubei's right there will be some bamboo trees you can cut to find a chest that will bear an herb. Cross the stepping-stones into the corridor cave. For now ignore the Soul Pool since you can't absorb souls just yet. At the end of the corridor cave you will find a door. Chapter 1-2: Meeting Takajo Takajo will explain who had wrong Jubei and destroyed Yagyu village, but Jubei is at first disbelieving. Later we discover that more happened then we are shown. Takajo explains the legend of the Oni and the purpose of the 5 Orbs. Jubei learns that it is his destiny to stop the demons, as one with the blood of the Oni. Now that you have the Charity Orb you can absorb souls, by holding Circle, but after the scene with Takajo there is a chest with an herb. Turn around and proceed to leave the same way you came, but this time the corridor cave will contain some bad guys. So prepare to battle, and don't forget to absorb souls. As you exit the cave and pass the stepping-stones, take Jubei's right (opposite direction of first Herb). You can catch the frog if you please, but since this is Kotaro's Walkthrough, it really isn't important. As you continue through this direction you will find a little shrine…show your identity. Chapter 1-3: A New Power Jubei is now blessed with the Thunder Sword Buraitou, his new power. Nice little scene as he swings it around and promises to get revenge on Nobunaga. Now the narrator tells of a short historical background for Imasho Town. Chapter 1-4: Meeting Oyu To me it was rather amusing when they show the man dying after he has found gold. Jubei walks in and witness a few guys pick on Oyu. As Oyu defends herself, Jubei comes to her rescue. The guys ignore Oyu and she walks off [note I have Oyu's alternative costume, man its weird] and Jubei is left to deal with the men. Imasho Town: First turn around and head to the market place, you should find a chest containing the Globe. Now just head back and go towards the store. You can get the White Necklace from the storeowner, for directions go to the NECKLACES section. Now at the store we want; The Egg and the Magnetic Compass total cost 350 Gold. You can buy Artwork #16 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Kotaro. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. Now for our chase after Oyu, leave the store and follow the path to the end where there is a big doorway, before entering you can get the Imasho Town map on the right of the door. Enter it to get yourself your Bow. First break the barrels that block the way to the elevator [right of doorway], and then return to the start [left of doorway] there is a switch. Hit it, run all the way back to the elevator and board it to the top floor to get your bow. Head back out and take left path to find the Gold Mine pathway. This is straight forward, just run up the stairs killing monsters as you go. Try practicing some Issens; they produce more souls, which are vital to upgrading your equipment. You see a chest along the path; get the telescope from within Kotaro will love it. Once you reach the top of the stairs you will encounter a goofy guy who won't let you pass without a permit. So was this all in vain? Course not. Back track down the pathway, back to the Imasho Town, and this time enter the bar. Chapter 1-5: Meeting Ekei and Magoichi As you enter the bar, you will see a spear cross you and a stranger path and cut the vase/bottle in half. Magoichi is introduced by another angry stranger, and after a few offensive comments, a battle is initiated. Who are these strangers? Well watch the cinema and then Jubei will stop the petty fighting and introduce both characters. After the cinema, you must head out of the bar and run to the forgery, near where you got the Imasho Town Map. You should see two men talking, talk to both of them at least once, and you will notice Kotaro's name is mentioned. Now run back to the bar, head upstairs to the second floor and walk forward. Chapter 1-6: Meeting Kotaro The men from the forgery will rush in and start to argue with Kotaro. Kotaro will jump out the window and the men will follow. Suddenly you are outside and the men are running, but they step on some tacks. Kotaro starts to laugh, but suddenly a man holds a gun to his head and that is when Jubei steps in. Jubei beats up the men and then introduce himself to Kotaro, and vice versa. Jubei will tell Kotaro to stop playing games, and this will make Kotaro angry. After the cinema, just head back inside the bar and go upstairs you will see a chest, open it to get the Folding Fan. Kotaro will be there, and give him the following Folding Fan, Globe, Magnetic Compass and the Telescope and he will return Fossilized Bone, Medicine, Power Jewel, and Normal Bullet. Head down stairs and buy a permit from the man in the far back against the door, MAKE SURE NOT TO TRADE WITH EKEI OR MAGOICHI! Back track back up the pathway, and make sure to kill some more monsters. You want to be able to upgrade your equipment soon. As you get to the top, proceed and Jubei will show the permit, oh and just ignore the chest, it isn't required for Kotaro. Walk towards the entrance to the Gold Mine and a cinema will start where some guys are scared. They will tell you they saw Oyu walking deeper into the Gold Mine. Once in the cave, you will see a fork in the road. Take the left path first so you can get yourself a Demon Wall Scroll and a chest with a puzzle. The answer to the puzzle is: 4 and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Inside you should find the Buraitou Secret, a special attack for your new sword. Walk back to the fork in the road and proceed to the right. Follow the path and open the chest along the way to get the Gold Mine Map. As you keep going through the linear path, you can find nuggets of gold lying around. Chapter 2-1: Eerie Monsters As you keep walking, a cinema will start where red eyes catch Jubei's attention. Watch the new enemies spawn and get ready to kick some monster butt, oh and a perfect time to practice your new Buraitou Secret [up, down + square]. Keep walking till you come to another fork in the road. This time take the left, and as you enter a red force field should appear behind you. Kill the 4 monsters. Chapter 2-2-1: Kotaro Helps Jubei Kotaro will come in and shout that he is here to rescue you. Just kill the monsters along with Kotaro. Chapter 2-3-1: Kotaro Goes Ahead Kotaro goes ahead to clear the monsters that wait, Kotaro calls out to Kotaro not to leave, but Kotaro leaves anyways. Walk into the now accessible path. Inside you can get the Five Oni Orbs scroll and the ice lance Hyoujin-Yari, you can decide which weapon to use, and both are great starter weapons. Now you must return to the fork in the road before you got trapped in this room this time take the left path. Chapter 2-4-1: Kotaro Won't Listen to Jubei As you walk in, the monsters are kicking around Kotaro, but luckily he responds in time to kill the monster that attacked him. Jubei tells Kotaro that he shouldn't act to rationally, that others are waiting for him to return safely, but Kotaro tells Jubei that he is acting irrational by trying to take on Nobunaga by himself. Both argue some more and Kotaro runs off. With control of Jubei again, step forward and you will find your first Mozun. Just equip the Hyoujin-Yari and take a whack it. It should explode in a cinema. Now walk forward make sure you pick up the medicine within the chest. You will find a magic mirror, use it to save your game, upgrade your equipment, and make sure to make it useful since you will be facing a boss. On the right of the magic mirror you can put the Charity Orb, once you put it in the wall will collapse in a cinema. Ready? If so, enter. Chapter 2-5: Meeting Ginghamphatts Well here is Boss #1, Ginghamphatts. What a weird name, don't you think so too? Well of course like all demons, he is cocky and will give you a lecture about your humanity. Get ready to smack him around. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After you have defeated Ginghamphatts, absorb his souls and run into the next area. There is a guy lying on the floor, don't talk to him just yet. Walk past him into the next room and get yourself some Gold, the Mirror, and behind the crates there is a chest. The answer to the puzzle is: 5, 3, 6 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Inside the puzzle you should find the Hyoujin-Yari Secret. Now walk back out and talk to the man on the floor. Chapter 2-6: The Exhausted Factory Owner You will return to the second floor of the Bar, the old man will give you some information on the demons and then tell you that Oyu was taking deeper into the cave. He will give you a Red Ring and tell you he found it inside the Gold Mine. He will rise up, thank you again and leave. We got Jubei back, now you want to head down the stairs and back into the store. If you want to get the White Necklace from the storeowner, refer to the NECKLACES section, I am only guiding you to get the majority of Kotaro's scenario. You can also get the ball rolling on the Orange Necklace this time around; again refer to the NECKLACES section. At the store buy the following, Lemon, Fairy Tale Book, and Keimyo Hachimaki total cost 1200. You can buy Artwork #17 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Kotaro. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. Head back upstairs to the second floor to give Kotaro the following Fairy Tale Book, Keimyo Hachimaki, Lemon, and the Mirror and he will return Magic Jewel, Hyoujin- Yari Tech.1, Strategy Book, and Fire Arrow. Leave the store and head back towards the Gold Mine. Along the pathway to the Mine, you will see a cinema introducing a new monster. These monsters aren't that hard. Hack and slash and get some precious souls. At the Gold Mine talk to the man who is walking around as you enter and he will give you the Dice. You now run all the way back to where you found the Factory Owner, but as you go you will find Kotaro being choked by a monster help Kotaro out and DON'T LEAVE UNTIL ALL THE MONSTERS ARE DEAD, you want to maintain a good friendship with Kotaro.. Along the way there will be a battle where some tough monsters pick on you, but Magoichi will be present to help you out. Once you get back to where you found the Factory Owner, go up to the odd shape on the floor and use the Red Ring. A light path should open up and you should enter it. When you get down, you will walk towards a door and a cinema will start where some monsters bad talk you. Two monsters will appear first one then when you kill it the other, just dispose of them and head into the unsealed door. In the room with the twisted stairwell, before you go up it you can find the Crystal Ball on the left side of screen. Now head up it, at the very top there will be a monster swing his sword. Just rid the world of him and head out. You are now in front of Gifu Castle a cinema will show it off (Ibayama in Onimusha Warlords), so now just go up to the door. Chapter 2-10-1: Kotaro's Confession Kotaro will jump in and apologize for the events that happened earlier. Kotaro then asks Jubei to let him work with him, that he hates Nobunaga as much as Jubei does. Kotaro doesn't want Fuma Village to be attacked, so he wants to help Jubei. Jubei doesn't say anything, but Kotaro says he won't be reckless and I guess that means a yes. Once you get Jubei back, enter the door. Some archers and monsters will be pesky, rid them, get the two treasure chests containing the Gifu Keep Tower Map and Incenses, and then enter the door on the left, not the big doors. Here you will find a number puzzle. They are rather simple. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 8, 2, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You will get the Bronze Mask (right). Take it and go back into the main room, prepare for some more pesky demons. After their souls are drained enter the big doors. In this room Ekei will be fighting some enemies; you can either help Ekei or just leave by going out the doors you had just walked through. I recommend you leave, this will lower your friendship with Ekei and will allow you to attain Chapter 10-1-2: Ekei's Last Moment in this game. Back into the room take the Herb from the treasure case and proceed through the unlocked door. Here you will find another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 4, 2, and 8. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel, so just use it when you want. Head into the next set of doors and you will come across a doorway with a blue alter on it. Examine it, then use your Bronze Mask (right) but you will notice that you can't just yet open the door. Proceed on, careful with these monsters, they are tough, and in the next room ignore the chest and enter the door under the stairwell. A man will tell you he has something for you, but the evil energy won't let him, so he asks you find the Purify Charm. Behind him is the Demon's History. After leaving the room, head upstairs and Kotaro should appear to help you. Kill all the monsters, but don't leave Kotaro. After Killing the monsters, you can leave through the only useable door. Here you will find yourself with a few archers, so just kill the archers and proceed into the next door. In the next room, there is an herb in the chest, the Earth Mozun, and the Purify Charm on the table sparkling. Take the herb and the Purify Charm and head back to the room under the stairwell. Once you are there, give the man the Purify Charm, he will be grateful and leave something sparkling. Lift the Bronze Mask (left) and head back to where you first put the Bronze Mask (right). Remember, as you walk there is a magic mirror, save, enhance your equipment, so just be ready. Chapter 3-1: Meeting Tokichiro A cinema should start with Tokichiro's funny laugh. Tokichiro will assault Oyu, and then Jubei comes in and orders Oyu to leave. Tokichiro summons some monsters, and Jubei is left to defeat them as Oyu escapes. After you defeat the monsters, head back, and get an herb in the chest. Now proceed into the unsealed doors. Chapter 3-2: Gogandantess Battle 1 Meet Gogandantess, the Greatest Swordsman of all Demons. Gogandantess will introduce himself and then challenge Jubei. You can't win this fight, so just keep yourself on your toes. Block, dodge, and try not to use cure items. Chapter 3-3: Oyu Assists Jubei After some time Oyu will come and rescue you, Gogandantess will call you a coward and leave. Chapter 3-4: Kotaro Meets Oyu As Jubei climbs the ladder, Kotaro will enter and tell Jubei to leave, as he will take care of the Monsters. Kotaro will then notice Oyu and think to himself that he has seen her before. Just follow the path; there isn't anywhere to go. Once you get outside examine the big metal orb. Chapter 3-5: Borrow the "Faith" Orb A cinema will start where Jubei asks Oyu for the Orb she wears around her neck. Oyu will hand it over, examine the Metal Orb again and now insert the Faith Orb. Chapter 3-6: Ride an Iron Horse Jubei will tell Oyu to get on the Iron Horse, and they both ride it over Gifu Castle's walls. Ride off into the sunrise and back to Imasho Town. Chapter 3-7: Obtain the "Faith" Orb Once in Imasho Town, Oyu will introduce herself and tell her story of why she was in Gifu Castle. She also tells a little bit of her background and Jubei of his. Right off the bat you can see some attraction that Oyu has for Jubei. Once you gain control of Jubei, walk towards the bar, just ignore the treasure chest. Chapter 3-8-1: Kotaro's Warning about Oyu Kotaro calls you from the back. Kotaro explains his distrust for Oyu and then runs off saying he will prove it that she is not trust worthy. Head back to the store, Black Pill, Pocket Watch, Pandora's Box, Calligraphy Kit, History Book vol.8, Naughty Novel, Gabishi, and Pair Ring total cost 6000 Gold. You can buy Artwork #18 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Kotaro. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. If you chose to follow how to get the Orange and White Necklace, by referring to the NECKLACES section, then talk to the store owner again and look for the man's father who gave you the chalk, if you didn't do any of this just go to bar. Note, this will be the only time you trade with anyone other then Kotaro if you didn't do the Necklaces, so give Ekei the Naughty Novel to get the Hien Kyahan. After that run upstairs again and give Kotaro the following Black Bill, Calligraphy Kit, Crystal Ball, Dice, Gabishi, Hien Kyahan, History Book vol.8, Incense, Pair Ring, Pandora's Box, and the Picket Watch. He will then return; Fire Arrow, Fire Arrow, Herb, Dumpling Cake, Buraitou Tech.1, Super M. Liquid, Medicine, Normal Bullet, Normal Bullet, Normal Bullet, and Normal Bullet. Note your egg should of hatched by now, keep the chicken, let it lay a brown egg, which will hatch and lay a gold egg which will hatch too. After trading with him, these items should guarantee that Kotaro will be the Story Character and the Majority of her scenarios will open up, remember not to trade with others, you don't want to jinx yourself. Note, read the HOW TO USE MY WALKTHROUGHS of the WALKTHROUGHS section for better understand. Head out of the bar and into the market, there should be someone holding a rather weird umbrella so go up to her. Chapter 4-1: Meeting Jujudormah This ugly demon thinks she is the hottest thing alive. She tells you of her love for Nobunaga and how she will stop Jubei and Takajo. So the chase is on, Jujudormah is after Takajo, and Jubei rushes back to Yagyu Village to protect her. Yagyu Village 2 Welcome back to Yagyu Village. This is again straightforward. Take control of Jubei and head to where you first met Takajo, but along the way… Chapter 4-2-2: Kotaro Helps Jubei 2 Kotaro runs in to help you. Don't leave till you kill all the monsters, after that is done just leave. Chapter 4-3-2: Kotaro Spies on Oyu Kotaro will stay behind to cover you, when he hears someone coming. He jumps on the shed and spies on Oyu as she is looking for Jubei. After you killed the monsters go to Takajo. Cross the stepping-stones, go through the corridor cave and come out where Takajo gave you the Charity Orb. Chapter 4-4: Takajo's End You made it just in time to see Jujudormah kill Takajo. Jubei goes to Takajo and holds her as her dying breaths are used up. Chapter 4-5: Mother & Father Oyu walks in and asks what is wrong. Jubei explains that when he first met Takajo, she explained to him how she met his father and fell instantly in love. Chapter 4-6: The Oath Takajo reminds Jubei of his destiny and importance. Jubei now even angrier and is so set on destroying Nobunaga. Jubei is half Oni, there for it is his destiny to stop the demons. After the Cinema pick up the sparkling item, Ring of Takajo, and now you have to return to where you started. Back track through the corridor cave, over the stepping-stones, but you will notice Kotaro. Walk past the bridge, killing all the monsters allowing the way for their souls. Once you are back at where you started, go into the door. Once you are in the house, travel straight, hop onto the next level, and whack at the screen door. Inside the chest is the Abacus, now hop off and turn to the next level, hop on and kill the monsters. Run to the end of the corridor to find a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 2 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel use it when you want. Travel back and knock down the screen doors. You should be able to see a chest, go to it and inside there is a Kaleidoscope. Now run into the room that was exposed by you slashing at the screen doors. There are two paths to go, one away from the camera and another towards it. Head towards the camera first and follow the u-turn path. Artwork #10 should be on a shelf, at the end of the u-turn path hack at the wall to expose a little secret Jubei never knew about, and inside collect half of the Four Guardians Art. Now head to the other path, the one that was away from the camera, and break the barrel that is blocking the Fork in the treasure chest, after getting the Fork, leave through the only path. Chapter 5-2: Jubei and Oyu Talk by Fireside Entering the room will start a cinema where Jubei and Oyu talk about Jubei's mother. Oyu is concerned in how Jubei still considers Takajo to be his mother. Oyu then asks if it is still the same if they are not blood related, and Jubei gets confused. Oyu walks out. Take Jubei out the door and all the way down the green grass path, at the end search for the Wasabi. Hop on the ledge and hack at the screen doors. Take the second half of the map from the chest and hack at the next set of screen doors. Inside the chest take the Oolong Tea. Now return back to where you and Oyu where talking and examine the Drawer like object. It is saying an object is missing, use Ring of Takajo to unveil a puzzle. To solve the puzzle hit start, go to File, to the sub-menu PICTURE, and examine the Four Guardians Art. The answer is [Left] point it to white, [top] point it to black, [right] point it to blue, and [bottom] point it to red. As the machine reacts a stairwell should appear. Travel down it. In the underground cave, as you are walking you notice that the floor shakes. Jubei jumps off before the floor gives ways and reveals a deadly set of spikes. Just push the directional button towards the spikes and Jubei will jump and grab on to the ledge. Push up and he will climb up. As you precede you will see lots of ropes, cut them and a big spike will come down in a cinema. When you get control of Jubei, quickly hit R2 and run back to the spikes, jump across, if you are daring get up on the ledge and then jump across and wait till the spike goes over you. If you are not daring, after jumping across the first time, the spike is chasing you, just wait till it passes over you, when it does push up and then jump across. Follow the path to the exit, and you will find yourself in Fog Valley. Ignore the chests and just move forward. Kill all the monsters that get in your way, and as you pass another Mozun, ignore it since you don't have the right magic yet. Once you pass all three ladders, you are at a bridge. Cross over to find yourself in a place with 2 chests and the Wind Shrine. Collect the Fog Valley Map and Herb from the chests and Senpumaru from the shrine. From the Wind Shrine get your Senpumaru and back track to where you saw the Mozun. Across the bridge, down the ladder, down the second ladder, and there it should be. Use the Senpumaru to get Nobunaga's Knowledge. Now return to where you found Senpumaru. Once you are back to where you got the Senpumaru, save it and enhance your weapons since you will have to head into the Forest Maze. Walk forward; there will be some monsters so be careful.. At the first intersection take the left, and keep proceeding, at the second intersection take the right. As you keep walking forward Jubei will realize that he is lost. Chapter 5-3: Kotaro with Firm Friendship Kotaro will start in the same place Jubei walked in, and he will notice that Jubei is heading east from the tracks. Kotaro thinks Oyu set a trap for him. With control over Kotaro, open the black chest to receive the Blue Bracelet. Follow the path and take advantage of Kotaro's fast moves. As you pass where the Wind Mozun was, open the black chest to get the Red Wedge. Climb the ladder and then climb the second ladder. You will notice a red spot on the floor, walk over to it and use the Red Wedge to open up a Light Path. Entering will take you to the Red Phantom Realm, for more information on it check the PHANTOM REALMS section, just make sure not to leave this area till you have the Red Stone Pole and the Blue Wedge. After leaving the Red Phantom Realm and crossing the bridge, you will find yourself where the Wind Shrine is. Kotaro won't dare to enter the Maze Forest, so instead examine the rock areas on the left of the Wind Shrine. Kotaro will do some climbing and reach the top in no time. Along the way you will find yourself at a river, kill the monsters and move forward to find a black chest with the Stealth Costume. With that equipped, just keep moving, you will see a Mozun but ignore it, and after two screens you should be at the pond area. Cross the pond and enter the room, on the side away from the camera you will find a blue spot. Use the Blue Wedge to open up a light path, be ready to enter the Blue Phantom Realm, for more information check the PHANTOM REALMS section. Make sure not to leave without the Blue Stone Pole. After you exit the Blue Phantom Realm, just exit the room and cross the pond. Next to the magic mirror is a statue, examine it and then use the Red and Blue Stone Poles to clear it. Enter the new area and kill the monsters, now just exit this area. Chapter 5-4: Kotaro Saves Jubei Jubei will hear some voices and then yell at the person to come out. Kotaro walks in holding a stick and making a weird voice. Jubei isn't too happy to see Kotaro. Kotaro tells Jubei that he knows the way out, and to follow him. After he leaves you will receive the Blue Bracelet and its soul. Just walk forward to find your way out. Chapter 5-5: Jujudormah and Ginghamphatts Jujudormah should appear laughing at you as she threats you. She is about ready to duel you when Ginghamphatts appears Ginghamphatts and Jujudormah argue like siblings and Ginghamphatts gets the honor of fighting you. Say hello to boss #2. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing Ginghamphatts you get Nobunaga's Rein, just exit and you will find yourself at the pond with the magic mirror. Take the left pathway to find Kotaro, but don't talk to him yet. Go around him to the Mozun and dispose of it and get the third statue Nobunaga's Dignity. Now return to Kotaro and he will mention that his pigeon with an import message is missing. Run to the right of the screen and you will get to the river area. Keep moving and you will run into a bull that is eating something. After seeing the feathers you get the idea, so just kill it and collect the sparkling item. Return to Kotaro and give him the Tube for Pigeon's Leg. Chapter 5-7-2: Kotaro's Pigeon Kotaro will be happy to hear that you found the Pigeon, and asks to see it. Jubei tells Kotaro that he found the pigeon and got the message and let the Pigeon go. Kotaro is very pleased to hear it; I guess the pigeon meant a lot to Kotaro. After the scene, Kotaro will hand you the Senpumaru Tech.1 book. Now you must go back to the magic mirror located by the pond. Don't go in direction that is the opposite of the pond since it is a dead end. At the pond, cross it and enter the door. On the side towards the camera, Jubei's left, is a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 9 and 5. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get Senpumaru Secret. After the puzzle go into the room with the spikes and examine the middle. You should be asked if you want to pull a lever, pull it and quickly an image will flash. It is an image of the three Nobunaga statues you have. Memorize the image, order of statues, and then place the statues in the same order to proceed. My game: Order Nobunaga's Knowledge, Nobunaga's Dignity, and Nobunaga's Rein. After the doors open run through and get ready for some monster bashing. Remember if Kotaro shows up you can't leave until all the monsters are dealt with. Before moving forward give Kotaro the following Fork, Kaleidoscope, and Oolong Tea and he will return Raw Fish, Normal Bullet, and Fossilized Bone. Enter the door and kill the monster blocking the door. Near the Magic mirror is Jujudormah's Diary, at the magic mirror enhance and save since… Chapter 5-9: A Last Kiss of Jujudormah Jujudormah will be sweating a picture of Nobunaga. Jubei offends her and she gets angry. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After you slay the beast Jujudormah, you will get the Honesty Orb, and now you should see a red switch. Hit it and the wall will open up. Follow the path; open the chest to get an herb, then run to run because soon afterwards the cave will fill with poisonous gas. Chapter 5-10: Jump Over a Cliff When you get to the end of the cliff, you will watch a cinema of Jubei jump off into the water. The cinema looks pretty nice. In the underwater cave, you will find a chest with the Oni's Sacred Place. Save and then go examine the other pool of water. Put in the Orb of Honesty in to move forward. Chapter 5-11: To Oni's Sacred Place A cool cinema shows Jubei going to the Oni Sacred Place. I like how he almost falls off. Then Gogandantess shows up for, with the cool quote: "Your eyes betray you. That you are thrilled to see a warrior greater then you." Chapter 6-1: Gogandantess Battle 2 Once again you can't defeat him. So I recommend you try to conserve your energy and cure items. Try to dodge and attack when you can. Don't be scared of using your magic, since it will get restored after the battle. After some time, Gogandantess will tell you Odani Castle will fall and then head off. Oyu will come to your aid and will go ahead of Jubei. Chapter 6-2: Takajo's Advice As Oyu enters the Oni Sacred Place, Takajo will appear in front of her. Takajo will thank Oyu for helping Jubei in his time of need and will then tell Oyu how to find the Sacred Flute, so that Jubei can defeat Gogandantess. Now that you got control of Oyu, head around the object in the middle [earth shrine] and behind it to a staircase next to the magic mirror. Head down it and up the other side, you should be careful because as you walk along the path two monsters will come up and attack you. Since Oyu has her level 3 charge, you should use it on them and they should fall easily. Run and get the Key Plate. With it, you can now return to where you met Takajo and use it on the Earth Shrine to unlock the doors. Kill all the monsters that get in your way, use Oyu's magic since it allows you to release souls of monsters with simple attacks. You don't have to kill them. This is great to get some extra souls and restore life when you are low. You should must to the path on the right of the Earth Shrine, since the other is a dead end. As you enter the first corridor, get ready to fight some monsters from here till the end, because it is going to be hard. Since Oyu has a small life bar, she can die easily, but using her level 3 charged you can make the big monsters suffer. I warn you to be careful of the silver armored samurais, because they can gang up on your and their long-range attacks can prevent you from getting close enough to unleash your level 3 attacks. As you go through the rooms, you won't find items or chests, only in the room with the Silver Samurai's, where there is a greenish-yellow pool in the middle, will you find the Oni's Sacred Place Map #1 in the chest and on the other side of the big mouth statue, a medicine sparkling on the floor. You should know be in a room with glass tiles, blue colored, where fish explode from the bottom. Just block, evade, kill what you can, and eventually the red force field on the ladder would disappear. As you go down the ladder, you will have to find a rather annoying monster watch out for the crocodile like monsters who will distract you and the monster's tentacles. After you kill it there will be a hole in the wall, make sure to get the Adarga from the chest. Enter the hole in the wall and travel down the Fog Bridge. Be careful with the monsters for they can cause serious damage on the narrow walk way. When you get to the magic mirror, save and equip the Gladius that is in the chest. The next area contains some very strong monsters, so be ready. The first monster, the yellow bull, can be taken down with one level 3 charged attack, the next monster, the red bull, can actually kill you easily, and it will take you around 3 or 4 level 3 charged attacks. If the red bull hits you, roll out of the way as you get up, or lay there till you get an open chance, because if he cheats you like he did me, then he will hit you as you try to get up and basically kill you. Chapter 6-3: Oyu Finds the Sacred Flute Congratulations, you just defeated the bulls and got your hands on the Sacred Flute. Now, you must venture back to where Jubei was and handed it over. There is nothing else to do with Oyu, you can either fight and get some souls for Jubei using Oyu's cool magic, or just head straight for him and get on with the game. Chapter 6-4: Oyu Hands Over the Sacred Flute Oyu returns to Jubei with the Sacred Flute that Takajo told her to find. Jubei tells Oyu that his wounds have healed. Now Jubei must go into the Oni's Sacred Place himself and find the rest of the secrets that are hidden. Oyu departs. First's things first, make sure to step up to the Earth Shrine and get your Dokoutsui. I've gone ahead twice before without it only to venture back. Head in the same direction that you did with Oyu and eventually… Chapter 6-6: Kotaro Uncovers Oyu's Secret Kotaro will pop up and tell you he knows who Oyu really is, as he is about to tell you who she is then he hears something. Kotaro tells Jubei to go on ahead of him, and then Kotaro and Oyu have a confrontation. Oyu is trying to tell Kotaro something, but Kotaro won't listen. Well do you remember where Oyu got the Adarga? Or where Oyu found that big hole in the wall? Go there, where the Earth Mozun was, nothing special on the way, you should of covered it all with Oyu. As you go kill monsters. Once you get to that area where the Earth Mozun is, kill all the monsters, break the Earth Mozun, and then kill the monster in the next area but don't forget the Circle Key on the floor. Head up the ladder and back track back to where you got the hammer. Back in the main corridor use the magic mirror effectively. After using the mirror, turn into that door immediately to the left. You will find yourself in a blue u-turn corridor, so kill the monsters, collect the Lift Instructions, and then head to the end of the corridor. You will find a ceiling fan, just switch over to Senpumaru and use the magic attack. There is a sparkling item, a Magic Liquid, just in case you don't have enough magic. As the cinema shows the ceiling spin, you will notice that the elevator now has power. Take it down, and pick up the Oni's Place #2 Map in the treasure chest. Just follow the path into the door and as you walk in a cinema will show a robot flying in. You can choose to fight and kill it, if you do another one will appear, if not you can just avoid it and the other one. In the corner, next to the ladder and first robot, there is a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 12, 2, and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a nice Tanegashima for your efforts. With that in your inventory, climb up the ladder, follow the path to another ladder, and climb down. Enter the door to find a magic pool and next to the operating table there is number grid puzzle. The answer to the puzzle is: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Solving the puzzle will give you the Golden Key. Now we must head back to the room with the elevator and map. Just exit through the door, climb the ladder, follow the path, climb down the ladder, kill the robots if you wish, and exit through the door. As you enter the room again, you should see a ladder in the bottom-right corner. Climb it to find a panel, examine it and accept to use the Golden Key. A cinema will show the moving boxes stopping, so now you can cross them just like the stepping-stones in Yagyu Village. On the other side, examine the door and accept to use the Circle Key. Chapter 6-10: Kotaro doesn't Open up to Oyu As you enter the door, Oyu will walk win and Kotaro will launch some of his knives at her. A monster suddenly appears and hurts Kotaro, so Oyu steps in to save him. Kotaro isn't very thankful, and yells at Oyu. Oyu explains to Kotaro that she will return home to attend to her daughters, and also tells more of Kotaro's past. Kotaro isn't too happy to hear all this and just walks out on Oyu after yelling at her, so Oyu walks after him. Back with Jubei, you can find a Tokichiro's Memo #1 on the floor. Examine the statue to open up a puzzle. Check the PUZZLES section for the answer. Solving the puzzle will make a Light Path appear. Enter it and soon you should appear on top of a tower. Turn around, hit R2, and walk forward. Some people complained that they didn't know how to get off the top of the tower. Follow the path to a ladder, and then just go down it. As you go down you will find a puzzle box on your left. The answer to the puzzle is: 2, 4, 6, 8, 1 and 7. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Talisman, very useful, and now you can down track the stairwell. If you follow this guide there should be monster archers, dispose of them. If there are no monster archers, then you will have to do Ekei's sub quest, refer to Ekei's Walkthrough for that. At the bottom there will be a few monsters, kill them, open the treasure chest to attain the Green Wedge, and use the magic mirror to save, especially if you will want to go to the Green Phantom Realm. As you exit the room, you will come to a split. Go to the right, only if you are collecting the artworks or want to visit the Green Phantom Realm, other wise go to the left. If you go right, equip Buraitou and break the Mozun. Enter the door and examine the shelves to find Artwork #11, and use the Green Wedge on the light to open up the Green Phantom Realm, for more information on it go check the PHANTOM REALMS section. If you go right, enter the door, and in the hallway get the Gifu East Area Map also ignore the black treasure chest. Move forward and exit through the door. Once you enter this area, there will be some monsters. Kotaro should appear to help you, so remember to kill all the monsters and then she leaves. After she leaves, travel along the path, don't take the first turn, and you will come to a treasure chest, which contains the Cherry Key. Exit through the door on the right, after you unlock it. This should all look familiar. You can either leave to the next area, entering the Gifu Castle, or kill the monsters and enter the Keep Tower. Chapter 7-3: Kotaro Uses a Fuma Bomb As you enter, Jubei will run into Kotaro. Kotaro will then sense that lots of enemies are coming, and they are. As the monsters come out, Kotaro will start throwing bombs, be careful and don't get killed by them. DON'T LEAVE THE ROOM. Wait for all the monsters to be killed, there is a lot of them. After all the monsters are dead Kotaro will hand you Dokoutsui Tech.1 and the completion of the chapter. Last chance to trade? Now head out through the doors directly in front of the door you came through. We want to return to where you found the Purify Charm your first time here. Keep going through, ignore the door with the blue alter, pass the magic mirror, and into the door. Ignore the treasure chest and just head upstairs. Kill monsters as you, now just enter the only doors here; you should now be in the wrecked room's top floor. Enter the door on the top and you will find a Mozun. Whip out Dokoutsui and take care of it. Enter the room to find a medicine in the far corner, and a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 9, 5, 8, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should find the Dokoutsui Secret. With that in your inventory, let's back track. Exit the room, cross the path and exit. Fight the monsters, and head down the stairs. Ignore the chest and run out the door across the door underneath the stairs. Pass the magic mirror, pass the blue alter door, and exit through the door in the hallway. Exit the small room, and you are back to where you noticed the locked door. You can fight the monsters here, or enter the door on the right, using the Cherry Key. Once in the new room, ignore the black treasure chests and walk inside to find the Crescent Key, Human as Food, Artwork #12, and another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 11, 1, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel, so use it. Once you get everything you just need to back track to where you found the Cherry Key. Just exit through the door, exit through the double doors on the right of the screen, run through the wrecked room and exit to the keep. You should now be where there is a path that leads in a circle. Monsters appear and so does Kotaro. Dispose of the monsters and then leave through the door back to the East Area. With the Crescent Key, you can now open the door that we first ignored. Kill the monsters and head for the door to unlock it. Do not leave through the door that is directly in front of the door you enter. As you enter, take the path to the right to the Mozun. Switch over to the Hyoujin-Yari so that you can break the Mozun, and then enter the door. In the room you can ignore the chest, and follow the path behind the vases to find a Light Path. After entering the Light Path, you will find yourself in a cave. You are now next to a magic mirror, run straight and you should catch a glimpse of a treasure chest, open it to get a Medicine. Many people get stuck here, so just return to the Light Path, since a statue blocks the obvious route. Facing the magic mirror turn to Jubei's left, walk straight, and you should find yourself facing a dark tunnel, now follow it. This room contains more statues and a black treasure chest, so just ignore them. Keep heading forward. Chapter 7-8: Kotaro Finds a Hidden Door As you enter, Kotaro and Oyu will be fighting. Jubei will be rather surprised, and as he tells them to stop, Oyu runs away. Kotaro will chase after her and so does Jubei. They both run into a dead end until Kotaro finds a switch. Upon entering, Kotaro isn't very happy of how Oyu got away. There is a chest that will bear the Blue Necklace, for more information check the NECKLACES section. Now just keep moving through the cave, you will encounter lots of monsters as you go, so be prepared to fight. There is nothing important in these rooms, so just keep moving. Finally you should reach a room with a bridge, which is open, so just kill all the monsters. After all the monsters are dead, to the left there should be a switch. Examine it to lower the bridge down. After crossing the bridge and entering the next room; you should see a magic mirror. Use the mirror, and then notice directly in front of the mirror a statue, on the left of that statue is Tokichiro's Memo #2. Follow the path; get the treasure chest with the Demon Cave Map, and exit on the other side. Chapter 7-9: Kotaro Tells How to Avoid Traps Kotaro will tell you that the demons laid traps to get you. He will walk a path; it's a strange path so try to memorize it. If you succeed in getting across without setting any traps he will give you a Magic Liquid. Enter the next room, but be careful because of the bulls and the objects, it is hard to fight. After killing the bulls, or running away, you can exit the room. The next room has pesky archers and strong demons, so be on guard. After you exit the room, you will find a treasure chest that contains the Great Powder Tube, ignore the black chest. Run to the end of the path to find a Mozun, careful, because monsters rise as you reach the Mozun. Kill the monsters and then switch over to Senpumaru to take care of the final Mozun. Once you pass the Mozun take the Herb from the chest, and walk forward to a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 5, 4, and 1. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel, so use it. Walk forward to find the statue that was blocking the original path. Use the Great Powder on him and he will give you a Secret Medicine. Walk past him and you should be at the start of the cave, use the Great Powder on the men to get some medicines, so now you can just enter the Light Path and be on your way. After you get back from the caves, exit the room, and follow the path to the door you haven't entered yet. Once you enter, you will find Kotaro fighting some monsters. Quickly help him and kill the monsters, after they have been cleared Kotaro will leave. Run after him, as you enter the next room there will be monsters weight. Dispose of them and absorb the souls from the soul pool. Ext through the door on the left of the soul pool, walk up the stairs, and leave through the door. Just follow the path and enter the shack after the waterfall. In the shack take the Hunting Schedule, and use the mirror to your liking. Walk down the stairs and examine the boat. Cross it to the area across the lake. Once you arrive, there will be some monsters so just take care of them. After killing the monsters enter the building but get ready since two strong monsters will be waiting. Dispose of them with either magic or level 3 charged attacks. Before leaving this room collect the following; Artwork #13, Fortinbras Book, and Golden Evil Statue. Upon entering the next room, you will find two statues. Use the Great Powder on the statues to rescue the men. Talk to the man on the left 3 times to get a Secret Medicine, and then just walk between them into the door. Examine the statues to unveil a puzzle. Check the PUZZLES section for the answer. After finishing the puzzle, a Light Path should open up behind Jubei, so enter it. You should know appear in Oni's Sacred Place: Blood Pond. Take the Special M. Liquid from the treasure chest and exit through the door. In the next room, the door directly to the left can be opened with the 3 fossils to attain the Black Necklace. Refer to the NECKLACES section and SEARCHING ITEMS for more information. Kotaro will come out to help, just dispose of the monsters and head towards the door. The next room contains a magic mirror and in the chest is the Oni's Place Map #3. Head toward the door, but ready since more monsters are awaiting you, a lot more. Prepare to fight, or just run past them to the door in the back corner. After exiting the circular room, you should find yourself in a room with lots of turns. Taking the first turn will lead you to two dead ends, but one contains puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 4, 6, 1, and 7. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel. Turn around and there will be a monster that appeared. Dispose of it and head back towards the hallway where you took the turn. Back in the hallway continue forward to find a split in the path. Taking the route away from the camera will lead to a chest, which bears an herb, and a monster will again appear behind you. Kill the monster and return to the split. This time head towards the camera follow the path and you will find a ceiling fan and elevator again. Switch over to Senpumaru and use the wind magic to activate the elevator. Once the cinema shows the elevator being powered up, ride it up. As soon as you are in the next room there is a sparkling item, pick it up to get the Scarlet Key. Among the trash there is also Artwork #14. Exit through the door at the end of the hallway, in the direction away from the camera. You should know be in the place where you got the Dokoutsui, run to the corner and use the magic mirror. Take the door to the left of the mirror, back into the U-turn corridor, and follow it to the elevator. Ride the elevator down and walk forward to the door. Kill monsters if you wish along the way. In this room go to the ladder by the open chest and climb it. Follow the path to another ladder then climb it down, now enter the door. Inside walk forward, turn right and you will find a red glowing door. Use the Scarlet Key on it to unlock it. Enter it and walk forward. Chapter 8-4: Tokichiro's Trap Jubei walks in on Tokichiro trying to capture Oyu. As Jubei rescues Oyu, Tokichiro pulls on a lever that makes the floor beneath Jubei and Oyu retracts and they fall into Tokichiro's trap. Chapter 8-5: From Oyu to Oichi Jubei and Oyu have time to talk, so Oyu tells Jubei of her plans to return to Odani Castle. She also tells him of her true identity, in which she is Oichi, the sister of Nobunaga. Oyu tells of her husband having 3 daughters from his ex-wife, and how she felt betrayed. She felt it was her responsibility to stop Nobunaga from killing, but she got caught in Gifu Castle. Oyu confess how she feels for Jubei, and she admits in being selfish. Oyu decides to return to Odani Castle because of her daughters, "blood or no blood." Jubei moves in on Oyu and is about to kiss her when Tokichiro starts to laugh and sets off an explosion. So the explosion that seems to have destroyed the wall failed to kill you. Interesting? Walk through the cracked door, and away from the camera there is a magic mirror. Use it, and save since you will fight a boss. Walking towards the camera are two chests, which bear a Secret Medicine and Gogandantess' Shield. When you are ready open the door on the right of the last treasure chest. Chapter 8-6: Gogandantess Final battle As Jubei and Oyu are walking in, an explosion knocks Jubei away and Oyu into a hole. Oyu clings for life when suddenly Gogandantess steps in to save her. Gogandantess boasts about men wanting to save weak women. Well now Gogandantess again boasts his great swordsmanship and challenges Jubei to "the final round." Jubei rushes Gogandantess to hurry it up, since Gogandantess likes stating his name. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing Gogandantess, you will get a cinema of him asking Jubei to state his name. When Gogandantess turns into souls you should get the Respect Orb, and then just absorb his souls. Walk out through the door that is right there. You should find yourself in a burning room. Run forward and climb that ladder, there are a few items worth of interest. Once you climb the ladder, on the pathway walk all the way to the end, and take the path that leads towards the camera. Jump across the flames and go forward to find a chest that bears an herb. Now run back to the pathway. On the pathway you can find a pathway in the middle of the ladder, and the pathway you just took to find the herb. You can take the path to find a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 1, 12, and 2. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should find a Power Jewel so use it. Now turn around and head back to the pathway, but as you hope onto the path, hold forward to hop onto another pathway with a treasure chest behind two metal objects. Swing at the objects and then find some cover because they explode. The treasure chest should bear a Medicine. Walk back to where you climb the ladder and walk towards the camera, Jubei should start jumping across like he did the stepping-stones and boxes. Now just climb the ladder and exit. You should remember this room in the Oni's Sacred Place. Walk to the middle and examine the huge statue, you can talk to Oyu if you want, when prompt to insert the Respect Orb, accept. Chapter 8-7: Ancient Flying Boat Flies As Jubei inserts the Orb, a chain of events should start. Tokichiro starts to laugh as the place seems to fall apart and monsters attack Jubei and Oyu. Tokichiro ends up stealing the Oni Genbu, so Jubei and Oyu are left to think of how to chase after it. As the building starts to collapse, Jubei and Oyu run upstairs to seek shelter. Now that you can control Jubei, use the magic mirror effectively. Check your inventory, your gifts, and see if your egg has hatched into a chicken, if that chicken has laid a brown egg, if that brown egg hatched into a brown chick, if that chick grew into a brown chicken, if that brown chicken laid a gold egg, if that gold egg hatched into a gold chick, and if that gold chick grew into a gold chicken. If so, trade the Golden Chicken to Oyu to boost your friendship; this is the last chance you have to trade. Walk forward and examine the flying object from the cinema. This can be a little tricky. There are lots of different means of doing this; you must simply rotate the left analog stick counter-clockwise, and the right analog stick clockwise. Do it at an even pace, because if you notice one side might still be lower then the other. If this happens, you have to rotate the side that is highest in the opposite direction that you were rotating it, this will lower it, and then you can rotate the lower side some more to catch up. You are timed to do this, so you must try hard and be fast. Chapter 8-8: Chase the Flying Boat After completing the event and opening up the door, Jubei and Oyu will get on the flying thing. They will start to fly after the flying Oni Genbu, and jump on to it to get on. Oyu of course falls and Jubei has to reach out and save her. Jubei and Oyu now find themselves on the Oni Genbu and break a window to get in. Time to find Tokichiro, Oyu runs off and you are left with Jubei. First follow the path to the end, ignore the magic mirror, don't enter the door, ignore the chest, and you will find a sparkling item. With the Magic Liquid in your inventory, you can return to the treasure chest, which happens to be another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 5, 2, 6, 8, 11, and 3. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel, so use it. You can now return back to the magic mirror to save or upgrade your weapon. Now you are ready to enter the door. This room contains archers that are out of view and silver samurais so be cautious. After killing them, in opposite corner of the corner on the right of the door you enter, you should find some crates, destroy and get a chest that bears a Medicine and now just exit through the door in the corner opposite the corner with the chest. Just follow the path up and fight the monsters if you wish, but they keep returning. Enter the door at the end of the hallway. Chapter 9-1: Battle with Tokichiro Jubei will enter in on Tokichiro. Demons that are helping Tokichiro attack Jubei, but Jubei deals with them. As one of the demons falls, he hits the "steering wheel" and the whole Oni Genbu is thrown of balance. Tokichiro then feels as Oyu enters. Jubei tells Oyu to take control as he chases Tokichiro. In the final confrontation with Tokichiro, Jubei attempts to kill him, but Tokichiro kicks the door open and jumps off all while laughing at Jubei. Chapter 9-2: Attack of Oda's Horse Soldiers Jubei and Oyu will notice that Oda's army is storming Odani Castle, so they need to think of a way to stop them. When you get control of Jubei, just examine the glowing red light. Chapter 9-3: Ruin of Oda's Horse Soldiers Jubei will activate laser cannons, or something, that will attack Oda's horsemen. Jubei and Oyu think they have finished and are safe now but… Chapter 9-4: Crash of Flying Boat A sudden explosion caused by Tokichiro's "surprise" cause the engine for Oni Genbu to go out. As Oni Genbu loses power, it falls from the sky and slams right into Gifu Castle. Jubei jumps off as the ship goes down, but Oyu isn't as lucky and falls back into the burning wreckage. You should now have control of Jubei and walking forward will reveal a magic mirror. On the left of the magic mirror should be Tokichiro's Memo #3. With that in your inventory, go and enter the double doors. As you walk forward Ekei starts swing at Jubei. Ekei tells that his dream was to become a feudal lord, and if he brings Jubei's head then he will be granted his dream. Jubei warns Ekei that he will not take it easy, and a fight starts. Chapter 10-1-2: Ekei's Last Moment Ekei tells you how he has no wife and child, only "booze and women." I get a feeling Jubei feels sorry for him, and as Ekei dies, Jubei collects Ekei's Keepsake [which is equal to a Perfect Medicine]. With control back on Jubei, just exit the room. There should be a monster waiting by the stairs in the next room. Kill it, collect the Normal Arrows, and head upstairs. There will be a few monsters on the balcony. Enter the first double door to collect a few items; open the chest to receive the Purple Wedge, Artwork #15 should be on the table to the right of the door, and a soul pool should be waiting. If you were collecting the Artworks congratulations you should have all 18 now. Refer to the SEARCHING ITEMS for more information on the Artworks. You have two choices now; with the Purple Wedge you can enter the Purple Phantom Realm and attempt to complete it to collect the strongest sword in the game, the Rekka-Ken, or you can continue with the guide. If you choose to enter the Phantom Realm, just exit the room and follow the path, you should find a bridge, take the right and there will be another door, if you can't find it check your map. Inside there will be a light, use the Purple Wedge to open up the portal and then enter the Purple Phantom Realm. For more information, refer to the PHANTOM REALM SECTION. If you chose to continue, in the room there should be a back way. Enter it and climb the ladder. Make sure you are ready, since you will face a boss. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing it and absorbing its souls, you should be given the Gold Scale. Examine the big gold fish statue and use the Gold Scale. This should destroy the barrier that prevented you from crossing the bridge. Just climb down the ladder, and exit the room. You can still go to the Purple Phantom Realm if you wish. Regardless, cross the bridge. Once you enter the room across the bridge, turn to the right to see the magic mirror, and if you need to refill your magic go for it. There are still 3 more bosses to fight, and climbing the ladder next to the magic mirror will lead to another one. So be ready, once you are ready climb the ladder. Chapter 10-2: Ginghamphatts' Final Battle A familiar voice should start laughing at you. Ginghamphatts swears to kill Jubei, but of course Jubei won't let him. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After doing some damage Oyu will appear and help you battle. Chapter 10-3: Kotaro's Tragedy Ginghamphatts knocks Oyu off onto the ledge, and when Jubei runs into help he gets knocked down too. Oyu can't hold on much longer, suddenly Kotaro runs in to help. He helps Oyu pull herself up when suddenly Ginghamphatts strikes Kotaro in the back with the tip of his hammer, impaling him. Kotaro falls down and Jubei gets pissed off. The battle continues…so be alert. Chapter 10-4-1: Ginghamphatts' Final Moment After you defeat Ginghamphatts' his upper body will grab on to his lower body in hopes of pulling himself up from the fire pit he hangs over. His lower body will start to step on Ginghamphatts' head and eventually both halves fall into the flames. Jubei watches and then receives the Strength Orb. Go talk to Oyu and Kotaro. Chapter 10-5: Kotaro's Last Moment Kotaro is seriously injured, and neither Oyu nor Jubei can help him. Kotaro starts to tell Oyu the truth about his path. His mother never wanted him to become a ninja so she tried to escape Fuma Village. She was caught and then killed. Kotaro has been living alone, missing his mother. Kotaro pleads Oyu to return to her daughters because they are probably missing her so much. Oyu tells Kotaro that she will return back home. Before dying, Kotaro calls out for his mother and then closes his eyes forever. Not sure about you, but I felt…sad. Now just head back down the ladder. Use the magic mirror, because there is no coming back from the next battle. Remember you can still go into the Purple Phantom Realm incase you want Rekka-Ken, or just to kill monsters. As you walk towards the elevator in the circular room, examine it. When prompted to use the Strength Orb, accept. Chapter 10-6-2: Their Lines Crossed As the doors swing open, Oyu will come in and call out for Jubei. A cheap slow-motion event starts and they embrace in each other's arms. Jubei had thought that Oyu perished in the burning Oni Genbu. Jubei tells Oyu that she has got to go home, that he will finish it himself. Jubei reminds Oyu that Nobunaga is still her brother and that she must go home. Oyu stops Jubei before he leaves and starts to cry. Jubei tells Oyu, before leaving, he hopes she finds happiness. Finally, Jubei descends on the elevator and Oyu is left in sadness and begins to cry. Chapter 10-7: Battle against Nobunaga Jubei storms in on Nobunaga as he is transferring his power into the Golden Evil Statue. Jubei tells Nobunaga that no one will ever fear his statue, this enrages Nobunaga and he transforms into his demon form. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-8: Advent of Golden Evil Statue After Nobunaga falls, his body will shoot 5 orbs into the mouth of the Golden Evil Statue. I think it is funny how the statue says "You will die" and you hear the elephant noise. Jubei will then get caught in some snake like things and fall through a light to the floor. Jubei will get up and use the power of the orbs to transform himself into a True Onimusha. It is time for the very last battle. I hope you are ready for something for some isn't hard, and for other is impossible. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-9: Settlement The Statue should fall apart and then Nobunaga's face should appear cursing Jubei. It suddenly switches over to Jubei running trying to get out of Gifu Castle before it collapses. The credits should start to roll, congratulations you have just beat Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny. Let the credits roll so you can get your last Default Scenario and save your game. Final Chapter: Love & Sorrow Jubei is looking towards Odani Castle on his horse from a long distance. Oyu walks out into the balcony and looks over into the mountains. Jubei whispers Oyu, and Oyu, as if hearing him, whispers out Jubei. Conclusion: Scenarios completed 64. If you followed this guide 64/100 = 64% Scenario Ranking is what you should get. You can check which scenarios were covered in the SCENARIO SECTION. E. Oyu Introduction: Deadly Attack by Oda's Army A well-done FMV of what exactly happens to Yagyu Village, the main reason why Jubei returns home. Chapter 1-1: Evil Attack on Yagyu Village The narrator tells us why Jubei has returned home. Jubei just walks into a destroyed Yagyu Village in disbelief. The graphics are beautiful. Yagyu Village: Nothing special, just follow the path and avoid being killed. As you walk forward, you will encounter a short cinema of Jubei's friend, Yasuke, being killed right before he explains what has happened. In the second area, where the river and bridge are, you can find a chest with the map for Yagyu Village. Once you enter the pond, a cinema will show stepping stones explode from the water. Directly to Jubei's right there will be some bamboo trees you can cut to find a chest that will bear an herb. Cross the stepping-stones into the corridor cave. For now ignore the Soul Pool since you can't absorb souls just yet. At the end of the corridor cave you will find a door. Chapter 1-2: Meeting Takajo Takajo will explain who had wrong Jubei and destroyed Yagyu village, but Jubei is at first disbelieving. Later we discover that more happened then we are shown. Takajo explains the legend of the Oni and the purpose of the 5 Orbs. Jubei learns that it is his destiny to stop the demons, as one with the blood of the Oni. Now that you have the Charity Orb you can absorb souls, by holding Circle, but after the scene with Takajo there is a chest with an herb. Turn around and proceed to leave the same way you came, but this time the corridor cave will contain some bad guys. So prepare to battle, and don't forget to absorb souls. As you exit the cave and pass the stepping-stones, take Jubei's right (opposite direction of first Herb). You can catch the frog if you please, but since this is Oyu's Walkthrough, it really isn't important. As you continue through this direction you will find a little shrine…show your identity. Chapter 1-3: A New Power Jubei is now blessed with the Thunder Sword Buraitou, his new power. Nice little scene as he swings it around and promises to get revenge on Nobunaga. Now the narrator tells of a short historical background for Imasho Town. Chapter 1-4: Meeting Oyu To me it was rather amusing when they show the man dying after he has found gold. Jubei walks in and witness a few guys pick on Oyu. As Oyu defends herself, Jubei comes to her rescue. The guys ignore Oyu and she walks off [note I have Oyu's alternative costume, man its weird] and Jubei is left to deal with the men. Imasho Town: First let's visit the friendly store [second door on the right, first being the bar], remember this is a walk through for Oyu designed just to get the majority of her scenarios, so we are only going to buy a few select items. The 1,000 Gold you have should be sufficient. You can get the White Necklace from the storeowner, for directions go to the NECKLACES section. Now at the store we want; The Egg, Plant Book, and the Wonder Flower total cost 450 Gold. You can buy Artwork #16 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Oyu. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. Now for our chase after Oyu, leave the store and follow the path to the end where there is a big doorway, before entering you can get the Imasho Town map on the right of the door. Enter it to get yourself your Bow. First break the barrels that block the way to the elevator [right of doorway], and then return to the start [left of doorway] there is a switch. Hit it, run all the way back to the elevator and board it to the top floor to get your bow. Head back out and take left path to find the Gold Mine pathway. This is straight forward, just run up the stairs killing monsters as you go. Try practicing some Issens; they produce more souls, which are vital to upgrading your equipment. You see a chest along the path, get the telescope from within, you will use it go get something nice for Oyu. Once you reach the top of the stairs you will encounter a goofy guy who won't let you pass without a permit. So was this all in vain? Course not. Back track down the pathway, back to the Imasho Town, and this time enter the bar. Chapter 1-5: Meeting Ekei and Magoichi As you enter the bar, you will see a spear cross you and a stranger path and cut the vase/bottle in half. Magoichi is introduced by another angry stranger, and after a few offensive comments, a battle is initiated. Who are these strangers? Well watch the cinema and then Jubei will stop the petty fighting and introduce both characters. After the cinema you should now be able to exchange gifts, but don't worry since you want Oyu's friendship to be high. You can now travel into the bar and talk to the guy that is leaning against the door in the top of the screen. Buy a permit from him for 100 Gold. You should have enough. Back track back up the pathway, and make sure to kill some more monsters. You want to be able to upgrade your equipment soon. As you get to the top, proceed and Jubei will show the permit, oh and just ignore the chest, it isn't required for Oyu. Walk towards the entrance to the Gold Mine and a cinema will start where some guys are scared. They will tell you they saw Oyu walking deeper into the Gold Mine. Once in the cave, you will see a fork in the road. Take the left path first so you can get yourself a Demon Wall Scroll and a chest with a puzzle. The answer to the puzzle is: 4 and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Inside you should find the Buraitou Secret, a special attack for your new sword. Walk back to the fork in the road and proceed to the right. Follow the path and open the chest along the way to get the Gold Mine Map. As you keep going through the linear path, you can find nuggets of gold lying around. Chapter 2-1: Eerie Monsters As you keep walking, a cinema will start where red eyes catch Jubei's attention. Watch the new enemies spawn and get ready to kick some monster butt, oh and a perfect time to practice your new Buraitou Secret [up, down + square]. Keep walking till you come to another fork in the road. This time take the left, and as you enter a red force field should appear behind you. Kill the 4 monsters. Chapter 2-2-3: Ekei Helps Jubei After you killed the monsters and absorbed their souls, Ekei will run in and kill a monster. He yells at Magoichi for not doing anything and then begins to help you battle the Monsters. Pretty straightforward, just kill the monsters. Chapter 2-3-3: A Missing Baby (For Ekei) A miner will run in and request your help, the monsters kidnapped his daughter and Ekei offers to help. Ekei runs along with the Miner and Magoichi comments, and then you return to your game. Walk into the now accessible path. Inside you can get the Five Oni Orbs scroll and the ice lance Hyoujin-Yari, you can decide which weapon to use, and both are great starter weapons. Now you must return to the fork in the road before you got trapped in this room this time take the left path. Chapter 2-4-2: Dreams of Men Again Magoichi and Ekei are at it again. Fighting over such small things. Ekei explains how Magoichi makes fun of his dreams. "I laughed because it is silly." Magoichi makes a comment about a "vengeful ghost" and walks off Ekei of course follows. With control of Jubei again, step forward and you will find your first Mozun. Just equip the Hyoujin-Yari and take a whack it. It should explode in a cinema. Now walk forward make sure you pick up the medicine within the chest. You will find a magic mirror, use it to save your game, upgrade your equipment, and make sure to make it useful since you will be facing a boss. On the right of the magic mirror you can put the Charity Orb, once you put it in the wall will collapse in a cinema. Ready? If so, enter. Chapter 2-5: Meeting Ginghamphatts Well here is Boss #1, Ginghamphatts. What a weird name, don't you think so too? Well of course like all demons, he is cocky and will give you a lecture about your humanity. Get ready to smack him around. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After you have defeated Ginghamphatts, absorb his souls and run into the next area. There is a guy lying on the floor, don't talk to him just yet. Walk past him into the next room and get yourself some Gold, the Mirror, and behind the crates there is a chest. The answer to the puzzle is: 5, 3, 6 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Inside the puzzle you should find the Hyoujin-Yari Secret. Now walk back out and talk to the man on the floor. Chapter 2-6: The Exhausted Factory Owner You will return to the second floor of the Bar, the old man will give you some information on the demons and then tell you that Oyu was taking deeper into the cave. He will give you a Red Ring and tell you he found it inside the Gold Mine. He will rise up, thank you again and leave. We got Jubei back, run to the treasure chest and get your Folding Fan. You will notice someone in the front of the screen lying down IGNORE HIM! Now you want to head down the stairs and back into the store. If you want to get the White Necklace from the storeowner, refer to the NECKLACES section, I am only guiding you to get the majority of Oyu's scenario. You can also get the ball rolling on the Orange Necklace this time around; again refer to the NECKLACES section. At the store buy the following, Hair Ornament, Silver Armor, Red Parrot, and the Love Potion total cost 2100. You can buy Artwork #17 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Oyu. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. Leave the store and head back towards the Gold Mine. Along the pathway to the Mine, you will see a cinema introducing a new monster. These monsters aren't that hard. Hack and slash and get some precious souls. At the Gold Mine, there is really nothing new except for all new monsters, just run all the way back to where you found the Factory Owner. Along the way there will be a battle where some tough monsters pick on you, but Magoichi will be present to help you out. Once you get back to where you found the Factory Owner, go up to the odd shape on the floor and use the Red Ring. A light path should open up and you should enter it. When you get down, you will walk towards a door and a cinema will start where some monsters bad talk you. Two monsters will appear first one then when you kill it the other, just dispose of them and head into the unsealed door. In the room with the twisted stairwell, before you go up it you can find the Crystal Ball on the left side of screen. Now head up it, at the very top there will be a monster swing his sword. Just rid the world of him and head out. You are now in front of Gifu Castle a cinema will show it off (Ibayama in Onimusha Warlords), so now just go up to the door. Chapter 2-10-2: Magoichi Talks about Ekei Magoichi will kill a monster and then jump into the screen. He will tell you a little about Ekei's dreams and how they are stupid. Then he tells you why Jubei is a "vengeful ghost" since when Nobunaga is destroyed, another will take his place. "It never ends." Once you get Jubei back, enter the door. Some archers and monsters will be pesky, rid them, get the two treasure chests containing the Gifu Keep Tower Map and Incenses, and then enter the door on the left, not the big doors. Here you will find a number puzzle. They are rather simple. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 8, 2, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You will get the Bronze Mask (right). Take it and go back into the main room, prepare for some more pesky demons. After their souls are drained enter the big doors. In this room Ekei will be fighting some enemies; you can either help Ekei or just leave by going out the doors you had just walked through. I recommend you leave, this will lower your friendship with Ekei and will allow you to attain Chapter 10-1-2: Ekei's Last Moment in this game. Back into the room take the Herb from the treasure case and proceed through the unlocked door. Here you will find another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 4, 2, and 8. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel, so just use it when you want. Head into the next set of doors and you will come across a doorway with a blue alter on it. Examine it, then use your Bronze Mask (right) but you will notice that you can't just yet open the door. Proceed on, careful with these monsters, they are tough, and in the next room ignore the chest and enter the door under the stairwell. A man will tell you he has something for you, but the evil energy won't let him, so he asks you find the Purify Charm. Behind him is the Demon's History. After exiting the room, head up the stairwell. Ekei will come in and help you fight the monsters. Chapter 2-11: The Digger's Baby is Found Once the monsters are gone, the baby will begin to cry and the Miner will run in. You have just rescued the Miner's baby. Ekei will have a flash back of his child and snatch the Miner's baby. Ekei will explain his history a little and he begins to cry, kudos on the tears Capcom, kudos. After the scene, you can leave through the only useable door. Here you will find yourself with a few archers, so just kill the archers and proceed into the next door. In the next room, there is an herb in the chest, the Earth Mozun, and the Purify Charm on the table sparkling. Take the herb and the Purify Charm and head back to the room under the stairwell. Once you are there, give the man the Purify Charm, he will be grateful and leave something sparkling. Lift the Bronze Mask (left) and head back to where you first put the Bronze Mask (right). Remember, as you walk there is a magic mirror, save, enhance your equipment, so just be ready. Chapter 3-1: Meeting Tokichiro A cinema should start with Tokichiro's funny laugh. Tokichiro will assault Oyu, and then Jubei comes in and orders Oyu to leave. Tokichiro summons some monsters, and Jubei is left to defeat them as Oyu escapes. After you defeat the monsters, head back, and get an herb in the chest. Now proceed into the unsealed doors. Chapter 3-2: Gogandantess Battle 1 Meet Gogandantess, the Greatest Swordsman of all Demons. Gogandantess will introduce himself and then challenge Jubei. You can't win this fight, so just keep yourself on your toes. Block, dodge, and try not to use cure items. Chapter 3-3: Oyu Assists Jubei After some time Oyu will come and rescue you, Gogandantess will call you a coward and leave. Just follow the path; there isn't anywhere to go. Once you get outside examine the big metal orb. Chapter 3-5: Borrow the "Faith" Orb A cinema will start where Jubei asks Oyu for the Orb she wears around her neck. Oyu will hand it over, examine the Metal Orb again and now insert the Faith Orb. Chapter 3-6: Ride an Iron Horse Jubei will tell Oyu to get on the Iron Horse, and they both ride it over Gifu Castle's walls. Ride off into the sunrise and back to Imasho Town. Chapter 3-7: Obtain the "Faith" Orb Once in Imasho Town, Oyu will introduce herself and tell her story of why she was in Gifu Castle. She also tells a little bit of her background and Jubei of his. Right off the bat you can see some attraction that Oyu has for Jubei. Once you gain control of Jubei, walk towards the bar, just ignore the treasure chest. Chapter 3-8-2: Meeting Kotaro 3 As you walk away a voice will call after you. A cinema will show Jubei walk back and meet Kotaro. Kotaro explains his distrust for Oyu and then runs off saying he will prove it. Head back to the store, Pocket Watch, Phirangi, and the Pair Ring total cost 4300 Gold. You can buy Artwork #18 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with Oyu. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. If you chose to follow how to get the Orange and White Necklace, by referring to the NECKLACES section, then talk to the store owner again and look for the man's father who gave you the chalk, if you didn't do any of this just go to bar. At the bar go talk to the man that is standing where the man who sold you the permit was. Buy the Black Beer from him and head upstairs. Note, this will be the only time you trade with anyone other then Oyu if you didn't do the Necklaces, so give Kotaro the Telescope, take the Strategy Book to Magoichi downstairs, and get yourself some nice Hard Boots. After that run upstairs again and head out the balcony. Oyu should be there, so start giving her the items we specified. Notice as you give her them, she will get all happy and smile. Here are the items you should have; Silver Armor, Phirangi, Hair Ornament, Red Parrot, Black Beer, Crystal Ball, Folding Fan, Love Potion, Hard Boots, Plant Book, Pair Ring, Incenses, Pocket Watch, and the Mirror. She will then return; Buraitou Tech.1, Hyoujin-Yari Tech 1, Medicine, Normal Bullet, History Book vol.3, Sake from Kaga, Chinese Fiddle, Medicine, Secret Medicine, Herb, Normal Bullet, Fire Arrow, Herb, and more Normal Bullet. Note your egg should of hatched by now, keep the chicken, let it lay a brown egg, which will hatch and lay a gold egg which will hatch too. After trading with her, these items should guarantee that Oyu will be the Story Character and the Majority of her scenarios will open up, remember not to trade with others, you don't want to jinx yourself. Note, read the HOW TO USE MY WALKTHROUGHS of the WALKTHROUGHS section for better understand. Head out of the bar and into the market, there should be someone holding a rather weird umbrella so go up to her. Chapter 4-1: Meeting Jujudormah This ugly demon thinks she is the hottest thing alive. She tells you of her love for Nobunaga and how she will stop Jubei and Takajo. So the chase is on, Jujudormah is after Takajo, and Jubei rushes back to Yagyu Village to protect her. Yagyu Village 2 Welcome back to Yagyu Village. This is again straightforward. Take control of Jubei and head to where you first met Takajo, but along the way… Chapter 4-2-1: Oyu Helps Jubei As soon as you cross the bridge a cinema will start where Kotaro is standing on top of the shed watching. As a monster swings to attack Jubei, Oyu appears and deflects it. She then tells Jubei to go to Takajo, BUT!!! NEVER EVER leave Oyu alone during battles. Since she is your major character, leaving her will lower your friendship with her, so stay and fight till all the monsters are dead; this will help your friendship. After you killed the monsters go to Takajo. Cross the stepping-stones, go through the corridor cave and come out where Takajo gave you the Charity Orb. Chapter 4-4: Takajo's End You made it just in time to see Jujudormah kill Takajo. Jubei goes to Takajo and holds her as her dying breaths are used up. Chapter 4-5: Mother & Father Oyu walks in and asks what is wrong. Jubei explains that when he first met Takajo, she explained to him how she met his father and fell instantly in love. Chapter 4-6: The Oath Takajo reminds Jubei of his destiny and importance. Jubei now even angrier and is so set on destroying Nobunaga. Jubei is half Oni, there for it is his destiny to stop the demons. After the Cinema pick up the sparkling item, Ring of Takajo, and now you have to return to where you started. Back track through the corridor cave, over the stepping-stones, but you will notice Kotaro. If you wish talk to him just don't trade him anything, because it might change the game. Walk past the bridge, killing all the monsters allowing the way for their souls. Once you are back at where you started, go into the door. Once you are in the house, travel straight, hop onto the next level, and whack at the screen door. Inside the chest is the Abacus, now hop off and turn to the next level, hop on and kill the monsters. Run to the end of the corridor to find a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 2 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel use it when you want. Travel back and knock down the screen doors. You should be able to see a chest, go to it and inside there is a Kaleidoscope. Now run into the room that was exposed by you slashing at the screen doors. There are two paths to go, one away from the camera and another towards it. Head towards the camera first and follow the u-turn path. Artwork #10 should be on a shelf, at the end of the u-turn path hack at the wall to expose a little secret Jubei never knew about, and inside collect half of the Four Guardians Art. Now head to the other path, the one that was away from the camera, and break the barrel that is blocking the Fork in the treasure chest, after getting the Fork, leave through the only path. Chapter 5-2: Jubei and Oyu Talk by Fireside Entering the room will start a cinema where Jubei and Oyu talk about Jubei's mother. Oyu is concerned in how Jubei still considers Takajo to be his mother. Oyu then asks if it is still the same if they are not blood related, and Jubei gets confused. Oyu walks out. Take Jubei out the door and all the way down the green grass path, at the end search for the Wasabi. Hop on the ledge and hack at the screen doors. Take the second half of the map from the chest and hack at the next set of screen doors. Inside the chest take the Oolong Tea. Now return back to where you and Oyu where talking and examine the Drawer like object. It is saying an object is missing, use Ring of Takajo to unveil a puzzle. To solve the puzzle hit start, go to File, to the sub-menu PICTURE, and examine the Four Guardians Art. The answer is [Left] point it to white, [top] point it to black, [right] point it to blue, and [bottom] point it to red. As the machine reacts a stairwell should appear. Travel down it. In the underground cave, as you are walking you notice that the floor shakes. Jubei jumps off before the floor gives ways and reveals a deadly set of spikes. Just push the directional button towards the spikes and Jubei will jump and grab on to the ledge. Push up and he will climb up. As you proceed you will see lots of ropes, cut them and a big spike will come down in a cinema. When you get control of Jubei, quickly hit R2 and run back to the spikes, jump across, if you are daring get up on the ledge and then jump across and wait till the spike goes over you. If you are not daring, after jumping across the first time, the spike is chasing you, just wait till it passes over you, when it does push up and then jump across. Follow the path to the exit, and you will find yourself in Fog Valley. Ignore the chests and just move forward. Kill all the monsters that get in your way, and as you pass another Mozun, ignore it since you don't have the right magic yet. Once you pass all three ladders, you are at a bridge. Oyu will pop up to help so you must stay and kill the monsters with her. After the monsters are all dead go and trade with her. Give her the following; Abacus, Fork, Kaleidoscope, Oolong Tea, and the Wasabi. Oyu will then return; Playing Cards, Normal Bullet, Fire Arrow, Crown, and Fire Arrow. After you have finished trading with her continue along the path. Two treasure chests lay ahead, one with the Fog Valley Map and another with an herb. From the Wind Shrine get your Senpumaru and back track to where you saw the Mozun. Across the bridge, down the ladder, down the second ladder, and there it should be. Use the Senpumaru to get Nobunaga's Knowledge. As you are walking back, you will encounter Oyu again in the bridge. Make sure to kill all the monsters, when they are dead you can talk to Oyu to get an herb. Once you are back to where you got the Senpumaru, save it and enhance your weapons since you will have to head into the Forest Maze. There are monsters along the way so kill them and gather some souls. After the first straight area, you will come to a fork with a little floating bug demon. Will it quickly, for they disappear. After you kill it a cinema will make the fork turn into a straight path. Follow it, again more monsters, and again a fork, this time the little bug guy got protection. Quickly dispose of the back up or just aim for the bug guy, killing him will return the fork to a straight path and eliminate all the monsters. Go into the new area, another straight path with monsters, keep going, another fork with the bug guy and monsters. Same as before, this time as it turns into one path, follow it and… Chapter 5-5: Jujudormah and Ginghamphatts Jujudormah should appear laughing at you as she threats you. She is about ready to duel you when Ginghamphatts appears Ginghamphatts and Jujudormah argue like siblings and Ginghamphatts gets the honor of fighting you. Say hello to boss #2. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing Ginghamphatts you get Nobunaga's Rein, just exit and you will find yourself at the pond with the magic mirror. Take the left pathway to find Oyu, but don't talk to her yet. Go around her to the Mozun and dispose of it and get the third statue Nobunaga's Dignity, go and save you game before talking to Oyu. Once you are ready for the challenge, go and talk to Oyu. Chapter 5-7-1: Fencing Lessons for Oyu She will ask you for a Fencing Lesson, say yes. It is rather tricky since I only did it once. From what I can collect, when she is attacking do everything in your power to evade and not get hit, oh also when she charges her weapon the attack is unblockable so get out of the way. When it is your turn to attack, hit her until she collapses, but then don't hit her till she gets back up. Repeat this till the lesson is over, if you succeed you will get a tech book, if not, then she will be angry and you get nothing. Reload your save if you want to attempt it again. After doing the lesson, if you got your tech book congratulations I did it also and got the Senpumaru Tech 1 book, go back to the magic mirror located by the pond. Don't go in direction that is the opposite of the pond since it is a dead end. At the pond, cross it and enter the door. On the side towards the camera, Jubei's left, is a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 9 and 5. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get Senpumaru Secret. After the puzzle go into the room with the spikes and examine the middle. You should be asked if you want to pull a lever, pull it and quickly an image will flash. It is an image of the three Nobunaga statues you have. Memorize the image, order of statues, and then place the statues in the same order to proceed. My game: Order Nobunaga's Knowledge, Nobunaga's Dignity, and Nobunaga's Rein. After the doors open run through and get ready for some monster bashing. Remember if Oyu shows up you can't leave until all the monsters are dealt with. Enter the door and kill the monster blocking the door. Near the Magic mirror is Jujudormah's Diary, at the magic mirror enhance and save since… Chapter 5-9: A Last Kiss of Jujudormah Jujudormah will be sweating a picture of Nobunaga. Jubei offends her and she gets angry. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After you slay the beast Jujudormah, you will get the Honesty Orb, and now you should see a red switch. Hit it and the wall will open up. Follow the path; open the chest to get an herb, then run to run because soon afterwards the cave will fill with poisonous gas. Chapter 5-10: Jump Over a Cliff When you get to the end of the cliff, you will watch a cinema of Jubei jump off into the water. The cinema looks pretty nice. In the underwater cave, you will find a chest with the Oni's Sacred Place. Save and then go examine the other pool of water. Put in the Orb of Honesty in to move forward. Chapter 5-11: To Oni's Sacred Place A cool cinema shows Jubei going to the Oni Sacred Place. I like how he almost falls off. Then Gogandantess shows up for, with the cool quote: "Your eyes betray you. That you are thrilled to see a warrior greater then you." Chapter 6-1: Gogandantess Battle 2 Once again you can't defeat him. So I recommend you try to conserve your energy and cure items. Try to dodge and attack when you can. Don't be scared of using your magic, since it will get restored after the battle. After some time, Gogandantess will tell you Odani Castle will fall and then head off. Oyu will come to your aid and will go ahead of Jubei. Chapter 6-2: Takajo's Advice As Oyu enters the Oni Sacred Place, Takajo will appear in front of her. Takajo will thank Oyu for helping Jubei in his time of need and will then tell Oyu how to find the Sacred Flute, so that Jubei can defeat Gogandantess. Now that you got control of Oyu, head around the object in the middle [earth shrine] and behind it to a staircase next to the magic mirror. Head down it and up the other side, you should be careful because as you walk along the path two monsters will come up and attack you. Since Oyu has her level 3 charge, you should use it on them and they should fall easily. Run and get the Key Plate. With it, you can now return to where you met Takajo and use it on the Earth Shrine to unlock the doors. Kill all the monsters that get in your way, use Oyu's magic since it allows you to release souls of monsters with simple attacks. You don't have to kill them. This is great to get some extra souls and restore life when you are low. You should must to the path on the right of the Earth Shrine, since the other is a dead end. As you enter the first corridor, get ready to fight some monsters from here till the end, because it is going to be hard. Since Oyu has a small life bar, she can die easily, but using her level 3 charged you can make the big monsters suffer. I warn you to be careful of the silver armored samurais, because they can gang up on your and their long-range attacks can prevent you from getting close enough to unleash your level 3 attacks. As you go through the rooms, you won't find items or chests, only in the room with the Silver Samurai's, where there is a greenish-yellow pool in the middle, will you find the Oni's Sacred Place Map #1 in the chest and on the other side of the big mouth statue, a medicine sparkling on the floor. You should know be in a room with glass tiles, blue colored, where fish explode from the bottom. Just block, evade, kill what you can, and eventually the red force field on the ladder would disappear. As you go down the ladder, you will have to find a rather annoying monster watch out for the crocodile like monsters who will distract you and the monster's tentacles. After you kill it there will be a hole in the wall, make sure to get the Adarga from the chest. Enter the hole in the wall and travel down the Fog Bridge. Be careful with the monsters for they can cause serious damage on the narrow walk way. When you get to the magic mirror, save and equip the Gladius that is in the chest. The next area contains some very strong monsters, so be ready. The first monster, the yellow bull, can be taken down with one level 3 charged attack, the next monster, the red bull, can actually kill you easily, and it will take you around 3 or 4 level 3 charged attacks. If the red bull hits you, roll out of the way as you get up, or lay there till you get an open chance, because if he cheats you like he did me, then he will hit you as you try to get up and basically kill you. Chapter 6-3: Oyu Finds the Sacred Flute Congratulations, you just defeated the bulls and got your hands on the Sacred Flute. Now, you must venture back to where Jubei was and handed it over. There is nothing else to do with Oyu, you can either fight and get some souls for Jubei using Oyu's cool magic, or just head straight for him and get on with the game. Chapter 6-4: Oyu Hands Over the Sacred Flute Oyu returns to Jubei with the Sacred Flute that Takajo told her to find. Jubei tells Oyu that his wounds have healed. Now Jubei must go into the Oni's Sacred Place himself and find the rest of the secrets that are hidden. Oyu departs. First's things first, make sure to step up to the Earth Shrine and get your Dokoutsui. I've gone ahead twice before without it only to venture back. Head in the same direction that you did with Oyu and eventually… Chapter 6-6: Kotaro Uncovers Oyu's Secret Kotaro will pop up and tell you he knows who Oyu really is, as he is about to tell you who she is then he hears something. Kotaro tells Jubei to go on ahead of him, and then Kotaro and Oyu have a confrontation. Oyu is trying to tell Kotaro something, but Kotaro won't listen. Well do you remember where Oyu got the Adarga? Or where Oyu found that big hole in the wall? Go there, where the Earth Mozun was, nothing special on the way, you should of covered it all with Oyu. As you go kill monsters. Once you get to that area where the Earth Mozun is, kill all the monsters, break the Earth Mozun, and then kill the monster in the next area but don't forget the Circle Key on the floor. Oyu will appear to help, so remember not to leave till you are sure there are no more monsters. Head up the ladder and back track back to where you got the hammer. As you are heading back to the place where you found the hammer, you will run into Oyu so talk to her. Chapter 6-8: Oyu Hesitates in Speaking When you talk to Oyu, she mentions that she can't stay with Jubei. As Jubei asks why, Oyu can't seem to say it. Suddenly two monsters appear. After you kill both monsters, Jubei continues and asks what Oyu wanted to say. Oyu says nothing and then walks away…but another monster appears, this one exploding out of a wall. After you kill the monster behind him there is a chest that bears the Red Necklace, for information on the Red Necklaces go to the NECKLACES section. Back in the main corridor use the magic mirror effectively. After using the mirror, turn into that door immediately to the left. You will find yourself in a blue u-turn corridor, so kill the monsters, collect the Lift Instructions, and then head to the end of the corridor. You will find a ceiling fan, just switch over to Senpumaru and use the magic attack. There is a sparkling item, a Magic Liquid, just in case you don't have enough magic. As the cinema shows the ceiling spin, you will notice that the elevator now has power. Take it down, and pick up the Oni's Place #2 Map in the treasure chest. Just follow the path into the door and as you walk in a cinema will show a robot flying in. You can choose to fight and kill it, if you do another one will appear, if not you can just avoid it and the other one. In the corner, next to the ladder and first robot, there is a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 12, 2, and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a nice Tanegashima for your efforts. With that in your inventory, climb up the ladder, follow the path to another ladder, and climb down. Enter the door to find a magic pool and next to the operating table there is number grid puzzle. The answer to the puzzle is: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] Solving the puzzle will give you the Golden Key. Now we must head back to the room with the elevator and map. Just exit through the door, climb the ladder, follow the path, climb down the ladder, kill the robots if you wish, and exit through the door. As you enter the room again, you should see a ladder in the bottom-right corner. Climb it to find a panel, examine it and accept to use the Golden Key. A cinema will show the moving boxes stopping, so now you can cross them just like the stepping-stones in Yagyu Village. On the other side, examine the door and accept to use the Circle Key. Chapter 6-10: Kotaro doesn't Open up to Oyu As you enter the door, Oyu will walk win and Kotaro will launch some of his knives at her. A monster suddenly appears and hurts Kotaro, so Oyu steps in to save him. Kotaro isn't very thankful, and yells at Oyu. Oyu explains to Kotaro that she will return home to attend to her daughters, and also tells more of Kotaro's past. Kotaro isn't too happy to hear all this and just walks out on Oyu after yelling at her, so Oyu walks after him. Back with Jubei, you can find a Tokichiro's Memo #1 on the floor. Examine the statue to open up a puzzle. Check the PUZZLES section for the answer. Solving the puzzle will make a Light Path appear. Enter it and soon you should appear on top of a tower. Turn around, hit R2, and walk forward. Some people complained that they didn't know how to get off the top of the tower. Follow the path to a ladder, and then just go down it. As you go down you will find a puzzle box on your left. The answer to the puzzle is: 2, 4, 6, 8, 1 and 7. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Talisman, very useful, and now you can down track the stairwell. If you follow this guide there should be monster archers, dispose of them. If there are no monster archers, then you will have to do Ekei's sub quest, refer to Ekei's Walkthrough for that. At the bottom there will be a few monsters, kill them, open the treasure chest to attain the Green Wedge, and use the magic mirror to save, especially if you will want to go to the Green Phantom Realm. As you exit the room, you will come to a split. Go to the right, only if you are collecting the artworks or want to visit the Green Phantom Realm, other wise go to the left. If you go right, equip Buraitou and break the Mozun. Enter the door and examine the shelves to find Artwork #11, and use the Green Wedge on the light to open up the Green Phantom Realm, for more information on it go check the PHANTOM REALMS section. If you go right, enter the door, and in the hallway get the Gifu East Area Map also ignore the black treasure chest. Move forward and exit through the door. Once you enter this area, there will be some monsters. Oyu should appear to help you, so remember to kill all the monsters and then she leaves. After she leaves, travel along the path, don't take the first turn, and you will come to a treasure chest, which contains the Cherry Key. Exit through the door on the right, after you unlock it. This should all look familiar. You can either leave to the next area, entering the Gifu Castle, or kill the monsters. Once you enter the castle, there will be some more pesky monsters. Deal with them and enter the double doors. Fight the monsters, and instead of entering the door on the right, head out through the doors directly in front of the door you came through. We want to return to where you found the Purify Charm your first time here. Keep going through, ignore the door with the blue alter, pass the magic mirror, and into the door. Ignore the treasure chest and just head upstairs. Kill monsters as you, now just enter the only doors here; you should now be in the wrecked room's top floor. Enter the door on the top and you will find a Mozun. Whip out Dokoutsui and take care of it. Enter the room to find a medicine in the far corner, and a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 9, 5, 8, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should find the Dokoutsui Secret. With that in your inventory, let's back track. Exit the room, cross the path and exit. Fight the monsters, and head down the stairs. Ignore the chest and run out the door across the door underneath the stairs. Pass the magic mirror, pass the blue alter door, and exit through the door in the hallway. Exit the small room, and you are back to where you noticed the locked door. You can fight the monsters here, or enter the door on the right, using the Cherry Key. Once in the new room, ignore the black treasure chests and walk inside to find the Crescent Key, Human as Food, Artwork #12, and another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 11, 1, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel, so use it. Once you get everything you just need to back track to where you found the Cherry Key. Just exit through the door, exit through the double doors on the right of the screen, run through the wrecked room and exit to the keep. You should now be where there is a path that leads in a circle. Monsters appear and so does Oyu. Dispose of the monsters and then leave through the door back to the East Area. With the Crescent Key, you can now open the door that we first ignored. Kill the monsters and head for the door to unlock it. Do not leave through the door that is directly in front of the door you enter. As you enter, take the path to the right to the Mozun. Switch over to the Hyoujin-Yari so that you can break the Mozun, and then enter the door. In the room you can ignore the chest, and follow the path behind the vases to find a Light Path. After entering the Light Path, you will find yourself in a cave. You are now next to a magic mirror, run straight and you should catch a glimpse of a treasure chest, open it to get a Medicine. Many people get stuck here, so just return to the Light Path, since a statue blocks the obvious route. Facing the magic mirror turn to Jubei's left, walk straight, and you should find yourself facing a dark tunnel, now follow it. This room contains more statues and a black treasure chest, so just ignore them. Keep heading forward. You will encounter lots of monsters as you go, so be prepared to fight. There is nothing important in these rooms, so just keep moving. Finally you should reach a room with a bridge, which is open, so just kill all the monsters. After all the monsters are dead, to the left there should be a switch. Examine it to lower the bridge down. After crossing the bridge and entering the next room; you should see a magic mirror. Use the mirror, and then notice directly in front of the mirror a statue, on the left of that statue is Tokichiro's Memo #2. Follow the path; get the treasure chest with the Demon Cave Map, and exit on the other side. Follow the path and fight the monsters, eventually you'll reach the end. Be prepared to fight some bulls, be cautious because there are objects that can interfere with your fighting. After killing the bulls, or running away, you can exit the room. The next room has pesky archers and strong demons, so be on guard. After you exit the room, you will find a treasure chest that contains the Great Powder Tube, ignore the black chest. Run to the end of the path to find a Mozun, careful, because monsters rise as you reach the Mozun. Kill the monsters and then switch over to Senpumaru to take care of the final Mozun. Once you pass the Mozun take the Herb from the chest, and walk forward to a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 5, 4, and 1. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Power Jewel, so use it. Walk forward to find the statue that was blocking the original path. Use the Great Powder on him and he will give you a Secret Medicine. Walk past him and you should be at the start of the cave, use the Great Powder on the men to get some medicines, so now you can just enter the Light Path and be on your way. After you get back from the caves, exit the room, and follow the path to the door you haven't entered yet. Once you enter, you will find Oyu fighting some monsters. Quickly help her and kill the monsters, after they have been cleared Oyu will leave. Run after her, as you enter the next room there will be monsters weight. Dispose of them and absorb the souls from the soul pool. Ext through the door on the left of the soul pool, walk up the stairs, and leave through the door. Chapter 7-11: Jubei Helps Oyu As you enter, Oyu is hurt, and you run to help her. After killing the monster talk to Oyu. Jubei and Oyu will look at each other like lovers do. Oyu will extend your magic and life bar as if you took a Magic and Power Jewel, and fill it up. Just follow the path and enter the shack after the waterfall. In the shack take the Hunting Schedule, and use the mirror to your liking. Walk down the stairs and examine the boat. Cross it to the area across the lake. Once you arrive, there will be some monsters so just take care of them. After killing the monsters enter the building but get ready since two strong monsters will be waiting. Dispose of them with either magic or level 3 charged attacks. Before leaving this room collect the following; Artwork #13, Fortinbras Book, and Golden Evil Statue. Upon entering the next room, you will find two statues. Use the Great Powder on the statues to rescue the men. Talk to the man on the left 3 times to get a Secret Medicine, and then just walk between them into the door. Examine the statues to unveil a puzzle. Check the PUZZLES section for the answer. After finishing the puzzle, a Light Path should open up behind Jubei, so enter it. You should know appear in Oni's Sacred Place: Blood Pond. Take the Special M. Liquid from the treasure chest and exit through the door. In the next room, the door directly to the left can be opened with the 3 fossils to attain the Black Necklace. Refer to the NECKLACES section and SEARCHING ITEMS for more information. Just dispose of the monsters and head towards the door. The next room contains a magic mirror and in the chest is the Oni's Place Map #3. Head toward the door, but ready since more monsters are awaiting you, a lot more. Prepare to fight, or just run past them to the door in the back corner. After exiting the circular room, you should find yourself in a room with lots of turns. Taking the first turn will lead you to two dead ends, but one contains puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 4, 6, 1, and 7. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel. Turn around and there will be a monster that appeared. Dispose of it and head back towards the hallway where you took the turn. Back in the hallway continue forward to find a split in the path. Taking the route away from the camera will lead to a chest, which bears an herb, and a monster will again appear behind you. Kill the monster and return to the split. This time head towards the camera follow the path and you will find a ceiling fan and elevator again. Switch over to Senpumaru and use the wind magic to activate the elevator. Once the cinema shows the elevator being powered up, ride it up. As soon as you are in the next room there is a sparkling item, pick it up to get the Scarlet Key. Among the trash there is also Artwork #14. Now exit through the door and take the path towards the camera. As you walk near the door you will hear a loud scream. Dispose of the monsters and head towards the door again you will hear a scream. Once in the door walk forward, but make sure you half your life ¾ full since this scene will drain you. Chapter 8-2: Release at the Risk of a Life You will find Oyu strapped to the wall, and next to here there is a glowing rod. Walk next to it and hold down X after examining it. Your life bar will slowly reduce, you will have to do this 3 times, but you can break to restore life. After you lower it completely, Oyu will be free. After freeing her, talk to Oyu. I got a Dokoutsui Tech 1 book. Now return through all the doors you came from. Just don't enter to where you got the Scarlet Key, instead exit through the door at the end of the hallway. You should know be in the place where you got the Dokoutsui, run to the corner and use the magic mirror. Take the door to the left of the mirror, back into the U-turn corridor, and follow it to the elevator. Ride the elevator down and walk forward to the door. Kill monsters if you wish along the way. In this room go to the ladder by the open chest and climb it. Follow the path to another ladder then climb it down, now enter the door. Inside walk forward, turn right and you will find a red glowing door. Use the Scarlet Key on it to unlock it. Enter it and walk forward. Chapter 8-4: Tokichiro's Trap Jubei walks in on Tokichiro trying to capture Oyu. As Jubei rescues Oyu, Tokichiro pulls on a lever that makes the floor beneath Jubei and Oyu retracts and they fall into Tokichiro's trap. Chapter 8-5: From Oyu to Oichi Jubei and Oyu have time to talk, so Oyu tells Jubei of her plans to return to Odani Castle. She also tells him of her true identity, in which she is Oichi, the sister of Nobunaga. Oyu tells of her husband having 3 daughters from his ex-wife, and how she felt betrayed. She felt it was her responsibility to stop Nobunaga from killing, but she got caught in Gifu Castle. Oyu confess how she feels for Jubei, and she admits in being selfish. Oyu decides to return to Odani Castle because of her daughters, "blood or no blood." Jubei moves in on Oyu and is about to kiss her when Tokichiro starts to laugh and sets off an explosion. So the explosion that seems to have destroyed the wall failed to kill you. Interesting? Walk through the cracked door, and away from the camera there is a magic mirror. Use it, and save since you will fight a boss. Walking towards the camera are two chests, which bear a Secret Medicine and Gogandantess' Shield. When you are ready open the door on the right of the last treasure chest. Chapter 8-6: Gogandantess Final battle As Jubei and Oyu are walking in, an explosion knocks Jubei away and Oyu into a hole. Oyu clings for life when suddenly Gogandantess steps in to save her. Gogandantess boasts about men wanting to save weak women. Well now Gogandantess again boasts his great swordsmanship and challenges Jubei to "the final round." Jubei rushes Gogandantess to hurry it up, since Gogandantess likes stating his name. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing Gogandantess, you will get a cinema of him asking Jubei to state his name. When Gogandantess turns into souls you should get the Respect Orb, and then just absorb his souls. Walk out through the door that is right there. You should find yourself in a burning room. Run forward and climb that ladder, there are a few items worth of interest. Once you climb the ladder, on the pathway walk all the way to the end, and take the path that leads towards the camera. Jump across the flames and go forward to find a chest that bears an herb. Now run back to the pathway. On the pathway you can find a pathway in the middle of the ladder, and the pathway you just took to find the herb. You can take the path to find a puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 1, 12, and 2. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should find a Power Jewel so use it. Now turn around and head back to the pathway, but as you hope onto the path, hold forward to hop onto another pathway with a treasure chest behind two metal objects. Swing at the objects and then find some cover because they explode. The treasure chest should bear a Medicine. Walk back to where you climb the ladder and walk towards the camera, Jubei should start jumping across like he did the stepping-stones and boxes. Now just climb the ladder and exit. You should remember this room in the Oni's Sacred Place. Walk to the middle and examine the huge statue, you can talk to Oyu if you want, when prompt to insert the Respect Orb, accept. Chapter 8-7: Ancient Flying Boat Flies As Jubei inserts the Orb, a chain of events should start. Tokichiro starts to laugh as the place seems to fall apart and monsters attack Jubei and Oyu. Tokichiro ends up stealing the Oni Genbu, so Jubei and Oyu are left to think of how to chase after it. As the building starts to collapse, Jubei and Oyu run upstairs to seek shelter. Now that you can control Jubei, use the magic mirror effectively. Check your inventory, your gifts, and see if your egg has hatched into a chicken, if that chicken has laid a brown egg, if that brown egg hatched into a brown chick, if that chick grew into a brown chicken, if that brown chicken laid a gold egg, if that gold egg hatched into a gold chick, and if that gold chick grew into a gold chicken. If so, trade the Golden Chicken to Oyu to boost your friendship; this is the last chance you have to trade. Walk forward and examine the flying object from the cinema. This can be a little tricky. There are lots of different means of doing this; you must simply rotate the left analog stick counter-clockwise, and the right analog stick clockwise. Do it at an even pace, because if you notice one side might still be lower then the other. If this happens, you have to rotate the side that is highest in the opposite direction that you were rotating it, this will lower it, and then you can rotate the lower side some more to catch up. You are timed to do this, so you must try hard and be fast. Chapter 8-8: Chase the Flying Boat After completing the event and opening up the door, Jubei and Oyu will get on the flying thing. They will start to fly after the flying Oni Genbu, and jump on to it to get on. Oyu of course falls and Jubei has to reach out and save her. Jubei and Oyu now find themselves on the Oni Genbu and break a window to get in. Time to find Tokichiro, Oyu runs off and you are left with Jubei. First follow the path to the end, ignore the magic mirror, don't enter the door, ignore the chest, and you will find a sparkling item. With the Magic Liquid in your inventory, you can return to the treasure chest, which happens to be another puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 5, 2, 6, 8, 11, and 3. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] You should get a Magic Jewel, so use it. You can now return back to the magic mirror to save or upgrade your weapon. Now you are ready to enter the door. This room contains archers that are out of view and silver samurais so be cautious. After killing them, in opposite corner of the corner on the right of the door you enter, you should find some crates, destroy and get a chest that bears a Medicine and now just exit through the door in the corner opposite the corner with the chest. Just follow the path up and fight the monsters if you wish, but they keep returning. Enter the door at the end of the hallway. Chapter 9-1: Battle with Tokichiro Jubei will enter in on Tokichiro. Demons that are helping Tokichiro attack Jubei, but Jubei deals with them. As one of the demons falls, he hits the "steering wheel" and the whole Oni Genbu is thrown of balance. Tokichiro then feels as Oyu enters. Jubei tells Oyu to take control as he chases Tokichiro. In the final confrontation with Tokichiro, Jubei attempts to kill him, but Tokichiro kicks the door open and jumps off all while laughing at Jubei. Chapter 9-2: Attack of Oda's Horse Soldiers Jubei and Oyu will notice that Oda's army is storming Odani Castle, so they need to think of a way to stop them. When you get control of Jubei, just examine the glowing red light. Chapter 9-3: Ruin of Oda's Horse Soldiers Jubei will activate laser cannons, or something, that will attack Oda's horsemen. Jubei and Oyu think they have finished and are safe now but… Chapter 9-4: Crash of Flying Boat A sudden explosion caused by Tokichiro's "surprise" cause the engine for Oni Genbu to go out. As Oni Genbu loses power, it falls from the sky and slams right into Gifu Castle. Jubei jumps off as the ship goes down, but Oyu isn't as lucky and falls back into the burning wreckage. You should now have control of Jubei and walking forward will reveal a magic mirror. On the left of the magic mirror should be Tokichiro's Memo #3. With that in your inventory, go and enter the double doors. As you walk forward Ekei starts swing at Jubei. Ekei tells that his dream was to become a feudal lord, and if he brings Jubei's head then he will be granted his dream. Jubei warns Ekei that he will not take it easy, and a fight starts. Chapter 10-1-2: Ekei's Last Moment Ekei tells you how he has no wife and child, only "booze and women." I get a feeling Jubei feels sorry for him, and as Ekei dies, Jubei collects Ekei's Keepsake [which is equal to a Perfect Medicine]. With control back on Jubei, just exit the room. There should be a monster waiting by the stairs in the next room. Kill it, collect the Normal Arrows, and head upstairs. There will be a few monsters on the balcony. Enter the first double door to collect a few items; open the chest to receive the Purple Wedge, Artwork #15 should be on the table to the right of the door, and a soul pool should be waiting. If you were collecting the Artworks congratulations you should have all 18 now. Refer to the SEARCHING ITEMS for more information on the Artworks. You have two choices now; with the Purple Wedge you can enter the Purple Phantom Realm and attempt to complete it to collect the strongest sword in the game, the Rekka-Ken, or you can continue with the guide. If you choose to enter the Phantom Realm, just exit the room and follow the path, you should find a bridge, take the right and there will be another door, if you can't find it check your map. Inside there will be a light, use the Purple Wedge to open up the portal and then enter the Purple Phantom Realm. For more information, refer to the PHANTOM REALM SECTION. If you chose to continue, in the room there should be a back way. Enter it and climb the ladder. Make sure you are ready, since you will face a boss. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. After killing it and absorbing its souls, you should be given the Gold Scale. Examine the big gold fish statue and use the Gold Scale. This should destroy the barrier that prevented you from crossing the bridge. Just climb down the ladder, and exit the room. You can still go to the Purple Phantom Realm if you wish. Regardless, cross the bridge. Once you enter the room across the bridge, turn to the right to see the magic mirror, and if you need to refill your magic go for it. There are still 3 more bosses to fight, and climbing the ladder next to the magic mirror will lead to another one. So be ready, once you are ready climb the ladder. Chapter 10-2: Ginghamphatts' Final Battle A familiar voice should start laughing at you. Ginghamphatts swears to kill Jubei, but of course Jubei won't let him. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-4-1: Ginghamphatts' Final Moment After you defeat Ginghamphatts' his upper body will grab on to his lower body in hopes of pulling himself up from the fire pit he hangs over. His lower body will start to step on Ginghamphatts' head and eventually both halves fall into the flames. Jubei watches and then receives the Strength Orb. Absorb the souls and then head back down the ladder. Use the magic mirror, because there is no coming back from the next battle. Remember you can still go into the Purple Phantom Realm incase you want Rekka-Ken, or just to kill monsters. As you walk towards the elevator in the circular room, examine it. When prompted to use the Strength Orb, accept. Chapter 10-6-1: A World for Two As the doors swing open, Oyu will come in and call out for Jubei. A cheap slow-motion event starts and they embrace in each other's arms. Jubei had thought that Oyu perished in the burning Oni Genbu. Jubei tells Oyu that she has got to go home, that he will finish it himself. Jubei reminds Oyu that Nobunaga is still her brother and that she must go home. Oyu stops Jubei before he leaves and starts to cry. Jubei should grab a hold of Oyu and embrace her with a kiss. As this all happens, stars will fill the background and the camera pans around them. My girlfriend thought it was beautiful. Jubei tells Oyu, before leaving, he hopes she finds happiness. Finally, Jubei descends on the elevator and Oyu is left in sadness and begins to cry. Chapter 10-7: Battle against Nobunaga Jubei storms in on Nobunaga as he is transferring his power into the Golden Evil Statue. Jubei tells Nobunaga that no one will ever fear his statue, this enrages Nobunaga and he transforms into his demon form. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-8: Advent of Golden Evil Statue After Nobunaga falls, his body will shoot 5 orbs into the mouth of the Golden Evil Statue. I think it is funny how the statue says "You will die" and you hear the elephant noise. Jubei will then get caught in some snake like things and fall through a light to the floor. Jubei will get up and use the power of the orbs to transform himself into a True Onimusha. It is time for the very last battle. I hope you are ready for something for some isn't hard, and for other is impossible. Check the BOSSES section for my advice. Chapter 10-9: Settlement The Statue should fall apart and then Nobunaga's face should appear cursing Jubei. It suddenly switches over to Jubei running trying to get out of Gifu Castle before it collapses. The credits should start to roll, congratulations you have just beat Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny. Let the credits roll so you can get your last Default Scenario and save your game. Final Chapter: Love & Sorrow Jubei is looking towards Odani Castle on his horse from a long distance. Oyu walks out into the balcony and looks over into the mountains. Jubei whispers Oyu, and Oyu, as if hearing him, whispers out Jubei. Conclusion: Scenarios completed 58.

Scenario Information There is a total of 100 Chapters in the game. I list all the Scenarios that go to a character, and if you add up the total scenes for the characters, it is well over 100. The reason is, lots of characters share scenes, Ekei and Magoichi, and Oyu and Kotaro. I only list the scenarios for each character so you can see from your Scenario Route if you are missing one, then go to the walkthroughs and find what how to get that specific scene. A.

VIII. WEAPONS AND ARMORS A. Jubei i. Weapons Yagyu Sword: Jubei's initial weapon. Many claim that the Yagyu Sword can perform Issens better. Location: Initial. Buraitou: 'A sword with the power of thunder. With quick stroke and sharpness, it is easy to handle.' Magic: This sword's magic attack is a multi-hit combo that is finished by a lighting strike. It is very effective against bosses to cause them to release souls. Location: You attain this sword after first meeting Takajo. Techs: Tech 1 is a powerful swing that can knock down enemies with in range. Tech 2 is a powerful uppercut followed by a down strike. Tech 3 is a 4-swing attack similar to tech one, effective to push a crowd of enemies away. Hyoujin-Yari: 'A spear with the power of ice. With its long reach, you can pierce an enemy at a distance.' Magic: This spear's magic is a straight ice attack. It can freeze multiple enemies, but they all have to be directly in front of it. It is very effective in tight corridors where the enemies are in a row. Location: You find it in the Gold Mine near Imasho Town. Techs: Tech 1 is a powerful swing that can knock down enemies within a range. Tech 2 is a powerful uppercut followed by a direct impalement. Tech 3 consists of 3 powerful swings, followed by impalement. Senpumaru: 'A long-handled sword with the power of wind. You can quickly slash enemies with this.' Magic: This sword's magic is a destructive tornado/hurricane that sucks in enemies then cuts them to pieces. As you upgrade your weapon, the size of the tornado/hurricane is bigger and it draws in enemies faster causing more damage. Location: You find it before entering the maze forest in Fog Valley. Techs: Tech 1 is a simple but hurtful swing with medium range. Tech 2 is a powerful uppercut followed by a downward strike. Tech 3 is 3 twirls of the sword followed by one big swing overhead the enemy. Dokoutsui: 'An iron hammer with the power of earth. Formidable enough to shake the ground.' Magic: This hammer's magic is an earthquake that causes massive damage to all enemies on the screen. As you upgrade the hammer, the destructive power gets immense; this is by far the strongest weapon. Location: You find it in the main corridor at the first floor in the Oni Sacred Place. Techs: Tech 1 is a powerful swing that would knock over any sized monster. Tech 2 is a combination of 2 uppercuts. Tech 3 is an unstoppable spinning of the hammer that damages all enemies that are near you. While you are spinning you can still take damage, but until you kill the monster the swinging was targeted on, it won't stop until Jubei is dizzy. ? Bow, arrows, and fire arrows: 'A handy bow with strong elasticity.' Magic: There is no magic for the normal arrows, but if you equip the fire arrows, your arrows are fire elemental and cause more damage. Location: Forgery in Imasho Town. Tanegashima and Normal Bullets: 'Improved version of Matchlock.' Magic: This gun doesn't have any magic or elemental status, however it is powerful and faster then the bow. Location: Oni's Sacred Place #2, in room with dead end/Yellow Necklace. Tri-barrel and burst bullets: 'A gun that allows you to shoot 3 burst bullets at once time.' Magic: This gun doesn't have any magic or elemental status, however it is powerful and faster then the bow. With the burst bullets it can shoot 3 times consecutively and have a wider target range. Location: Given to you be Magoichi if you have a high level of friendship with him. Rekka-Ken: 'A sword with the power of flame. The most powerful ultimate weapon.' Magic: A ring of fire emits from the sword and spreads outwards, and then it acts as a temporal barrier as it surrounds Jubei. All enemies that approach you while the flames are lit will burn and take severe damage. Location: 20th floor of the Purple Phantom Realm. Techs: [note: all techs are acquired instantly, no books required] Tech 1 a powerful swing with an above average range. Tech 2 is a powerful uppercut followed by a downward strike. Tech 3 consists of a powerful downward strike, followed by a half circle uppercut, and then a full impalement. This sword is the claimed to be the strongest, but the Dokoutsui does more damage to smaller enemies. ii. Armors Yagyu Armor: 'A jacket weaved with a special technique by the Yagyu clan.' Upgrading: Upgrading the Yagyu Armor will reduce the damage taken by enemies and bosses, plus it looks AWESOME at level 3. Location: Initial. Yagyu Foot Armor: 'These protectors are handed down by the Yagyu clan. They can provide high mobility.' Upgrading: Upgrading the Yagyu Foot Armor, from what I see, doesn't increase agility, but it does increase the power of Jubei's kick. With it at level 3 you can kick down big sized monsters, except red bulls. Location: Initial. Yagyu Arm Armor: 'These gauntlets are handed down by the Yagyu clan. They can help to swing a sword.' Upgrading: Upgrading the Yagyu Arm Armor, from what I see, doesn't help you swing you sword faster, but it does reduce the charge time require for techs by the weapons. Location: Initial. There are 8 necklaces; Red, Blue, Green, White, Black, Orange, Purple, and Yellow, scroll to the NECKLACE SECTION for more information. B. Ekei i.

Charm: 'This charm can be detonated from a distance.' Location: Initial. ii. Armors Hozoin Garment: 'Garment made of straw that keeps you very warm.' Location: Initial. Ashura Garment: Garment made of silk that is very comfortable.' Location: Give Ekei the Grilled Fish to get the Music Box and give Kotaro the Music Box to get the Ashura Garment. Hozoin Leg Guard: 'These protectors are mostly cloth, but iron parts are used in some places.' Location: Initial. Fudo Leg Guard: 'These protectors are made of iron.' Location: Bought at Imasho Town Store on second visit. Hozoin Protector: 'These shoulder protectors are made of iron and leather.' Location: Initial. Nioh Protector: 'These shoulder protectors are made of steel and are very solid and reliable.' Location: Found in Cherry Locked room in Gifu Keep Tower. iii. Magic Ekei's magic is rather simple. He makes a round circle appear and as it expands, those monsters caught in its radius are instantly paralyzed and can't move. This magic doesn't work against big monsters and bosses, but if Jubei starts to get cornered, Ekei usually steps in to use it. C. Magoichi i. Weapons Tri-Barrel Gun: 'A weapon that can shoot three bullets at a time.' Location: Initial. Goraishinki+Ammo: 'A powerful weapon that can shoot five needle bullets at once.'

Saiga Boots: 'These boots are made of metal and leather parts are used at the joints.' Location: Initial. Western Boots: 'These boots are made of metal and the front parts are enhanced by iron.' Location: Bought at Imasho Town Store on second visit. Saiga Gloves: 'These gloves are made of iron and cloth, and are very light.' Location: Initial. Rasha Gloves: 'These gloves are made of alloy and are very strong.' Location: Found in Demon Cave, same room with magic mirror.. iii. Magic Magoichi's magic is rather useful for him since he can go berserker with his unlimited ammo. Using it causes his gun to turn red, sort of like Oyu's Sword with her magic, and this allows Magoichi to shoot rapidly for a period of time. Using it with the Goraishinki will give you basically turbo for that time period. Use it when there are a lot of monsters in a narrow corridor, or to take out the red bull in Magoichi's sub quest. D. Kotaro i. Weapons Kunai: 'Twin knives commonly used by ninjas for a short range combat.' Location: Initial. Gabishi: 'Iron stilettos with rings for fingers to handle.' Location: Bought at Imasho Town Store on third visit. Roga-Kunai: 'Specially crafted twin knives for a close range combat.' Location: Found on 5th floor of Red Phantom Realm.

Fuma Kyahan: 'Leg protectors for ninjas that can help you move lightly.' Location: Initial. Hien Kyahan: 'Leg protectors for ninjas that have iron parts to inflict great damage on your enemy.' Location: Give Ekei the Naughty Novel to get the Hien Kyahan. Fuma Hachimaki: 'A headband and a scarf.' Location: Initial. Keimyo Hachimaki: 'A headband with a scarf with an iron plate for protection.' Location: Bought at Imasho Town Store on second visit. iii. Magic Kotaro's magic is lots of fun to play with. Kotaro makes a decoy of himself while he runs around invisible, well you can see him. The monsters go and attack his decoy while you can run around and open chests, leave the area, or go behind them and start hacking at them. Pretty fun, specially since Kotaro has a close combat weapon, you might have to use it a lot. E. Oyu i. Weapons Broad Sword: 'A slim western sword that is very light and easy to handle. Location: Initial. Phirangi: 'A long western sword that looks heavy but is actually very light.' Location: Bought at Imasho Town Store on third visit. Gladius: 'A legendary western long sword that is easy to handle and is very sharp.' Location: Found at Fog Bridge, fourth section next to magic mirror. Daggers: 'An iron dagger that is good for a distant attack.' Location: Initial. ii. Armors Plate Armor: 'An armor made of iron and leather. It is reasonably strong.' Location: Initial.

Location: Initial. Hard Boots: 'Long boots made of metal that are lighter then they look.' Location: Give Kotaro an A Rank Item, I gave the Telescope, to get the Strategy Book, now take the Strategy Book to Magoichi to get the Hard Boots. Round Shield: 'It's so light that it can be handled with one hand.' Location: Initial. Adarga: 'It's light enough for a female warrior to handle.' Location: Found at Oni's Place #1 in room with entrance to Fog Bridge and Earth Mozun. iii. Magic I'm not very sure on the name of Oyu's magic attack, but it makes her sword turn orange- red. With the sword in this state, it can release souls from monsters without even having to kill them. If you got a hefty supply of magic restore items or blue souls, this magic spell is perfect for gathering red souls in a hurry. IX.

They have a damage level, since most Bosses won't die from an Issen attack. Issen's are unique and rather difficult to do at times. For others they are easy due to better judge of movement, and better overall reaction time. Most gamers say that the chances of Issen are higher with the Yagyu sword, but I've found through my experience, the chances are equal with other weapons. I have yet to do a 7-hit Issen/Issen Combo using the Yagyu sword, for reasons that it can't charge. A. Reasons to Issen When the screen is full of monsters, and you are trapped in a corner, an Issen can actually eliminate all of the monsters. Monsters who are killed by an Issen also give out more souls, of all colors. Issens must be learned to acquire an S-Ranking (you need 450+ Issens/critical) to attain an S-Rank. B. Types i. Timed Issen The timed Issen basically makes you a sitting duck. When the enemy starts to lift his weapon, or hand, to attack you have to hit square right before the attack makes contact with your character. Not having any luck? It takes some time to learn it, even I can only do it to a select few, but after mastering it is very useful since it Bosses will most likely do attacks you can block or dodge. ii. Block Issen The Block Issen is almost the same as the Timed Issen, where your reaction time is vital. When the enemy swings their weapon, or hand, to attack you must tap L1 [block] moments before the attack reaches. If it is done right, a white spark and a different sound then the ordinary blocking will emit. At this point you quickly hit square to execute the Issen. From my experience, this Issen doesn't produce as many souls as the Timed Issen. iii. Dodge Issen This Issen requires lots of time, and a quick hand. Targeting your enemy [hold R1] and wait for it to swing. I believe this only works with and downward/upward strike then it does with a swing. When the weapon, or hand, is in mid-flight you must quickly strafe [double tap left or right] to move out the way, then quickly hit square. Like the Timed Issen, this Issen doesn't give you a signal that it will execute, where the Block Issen gives off a white spark and different blocking noise. iv. 7-Hit Issen/Issen Combo The 7-Hit Issen/Issen Combo is as difficult to perform as the Timed Issen, since from my experience only a Timed Issen can unleash it. You must have both tech books for the weapon you plan on using the Issen with. Once you have the requirements, you charge your weapon [hold R1 tightly] to its level 3, and prepare to Issen. As your weapon is charged [must hold R1] you can execute the Timed Issen, and instead of killing the enemies in the range of your weapon, it will actually kill all enemies within a certain range. I've killed up to 7 at once, and with bosses, it hits 7 times instead of once. XI. BOSSES A. Ginghamphatts 1 Whip out the Buraitou and start with the lighting magic, you should be able to do 2 or 3. This attack will cause him to dispense souls; if you are lucky they will be blue. Absorb them quickly, and if they are blue commence the lighting magic. Once you have run out of magic back step and whip out the Hyoujin-Yari and start attacking him magically. He should dispense souls again, but not that many. After you run out of magic you will have to fight him with whatever weapon you choose. Careful with his attacks, his dash attack is unblockable, his jump attack is also unblockable, and so you will have to depend on running away from those. When he swings his axe you can block, but once he lifts it up over his shoulder, run or strafe. Just keep whacking away at him, if you are using Buraitou then use the new technique. Absorb any souls he dispenses. If you take to much damage, you Story Character will come out to offer some help. If you want, only attack Ginghamphatts when he is targeting your Story Character. Run in and hack then run away to safety. Careful because when Ginghamphatts does his jump attack, parts of the ceiling will fall and they can be destructive. B. Gogandantess This battle can't be won, so you just have to stick it out. Try to hold him back by using your magic. Block, evade, and run away from him. I'm sure this battle is timed, because after some time Oyu will come out to rescue you. You're main objective is to get through this without having to use cure items. C. Ginghamphatts 2 This battle with Ginghamphatts is very similar to the first battle except the area is more confined. Start hacking away with Buraitou and use the lighting combo. Make him dispense souls, and absorb any yellow and blue he lets go off. Keep using the lighting combo until you run out of magic. If you have the level 3 charged for Buraitou, and then unleash it. Once Buraitou is out of magic switch over to Hyoujin-Yari to unleash some more magic. After some time he starts to run through the trees and then rushes out. It is sort of hard to dodge, but always keep moving. When you see leaves ruffling, move out of the way. As he takes more and more damage, he will start to do it faster. Just use Senpumaru's magic when he comes to stop him in his tracks. Attack physically because you want to save Senpumaru's magic to stop him from charging. After taking some damage your Story Partner should come out. I recommend you let Ginghamphatts target him/her and then you come up from behind with a charged level 3 attack. D. Jujudormah Keep moving. If you have any Tech.2 books, be sure to use them here. Your best strategy is to take some hits to allow your Story Partner to come in. Let her target your Story Partner then dash in to do some damage, and then run out. If you want to do it solo, the best strategy I can think of is to charge your attack, hold R1, and then strafe left and right as she shoots her ice attack. While you dodge move towards her and unleash the charged attack on the first half of the battle it should be enough to knock her back, unfortunately after some damage it won't be enough to stun her. When she turns red she is about to unleash a stupid attack of her moving her hands pretty quickly, just block since you can't stun her anymore. Sometimes she will attack you by swing her huge rear at you, just block it, and be careful with her double umbrella attack since it has a rather long reach and the first hit will stun you and the second will hit you. E. Gogandantess 2 This battle can't be won, so you just have to stick it out. Try to hold him back by using your magic. Block, evade, and run away from him. I'm sure this battle is timed, because after some time Oyu will come out to rescue you. You're main objective is to get through this without having to use cure items. F. Gogandantess 3 First start off by using the Sacred Flute, doing this will allow your magic to hit more efficiently. If you chose to fight him the hard way, good luck. After the flute has been played, you will notice your magic doesn't hit his force field. Just unleash what you can, focus on him with Senpumaru when he is close to get some souls. Alternate between Dokoutsui and Buraitou to do major damage. Since the Buraitou combo makes Jubei invulnerable, you can keep swinging until you land some hits. G. Ekei Ekei isn't that hard, and consider you have been limited to only using the Yagyu Sword; you will have to be swift. When Ekei starts to block, just kick him and attack, if you are fast enough you should land the hits. If Ekei starts to charge his attack, either take cover or kick him to stop him from doing it. Sometimes kicking him won't work, and if you are in a rush with plenty of cure items, just whack at him what he charges. After a few hits, Ekei should fall. H. Mother Sucker Get underneath it and unleash the magic of Senpumaru. Of course you won't have enough magic to take it down, so if you got the Purple Necklace equip it, and if you got any Magic Liquids you want to use, go for them. As you do Senpumaru, the smaller suckers will release souls, do your best to absorb then and you just might get some blue souls. Keep using Senpumaru until you run out of magic. If you did enough damage the sucker will start to chase after you, you should whip out Buraitou and do the magic combo. If you don't have anything else, use your bow and fire arrows or the Tanegashima or Tri-Barrel. I. Ginghamphatts 3 He is very similar to the first 2 times at the beginning. Just attack with Buraitou to start off, and make him release many souls. Absorb what you can, hopefully they are blue souls, keep going with the Buraitou combo, once you run out of magic switch over to Dokoutsui and do the level 3 charged attack. After some hits Ginghamphatts will split in half and his top half will fly around, his bottom half will run around and stomp on you. Try to get both halves together and use Rekka-Ken's Fire Magic or Senpumaru's Wind Magic. This way you can hit lots of times and make him release tons of souls. Absorb what you can to restore magic and life. J. Nobunaga Be strong, and don't fear Nobunaga. He has two forms of fighting, one on the ground another in the air. As you keep hurting him, he will begin to fly higher and use his magic more often. Use Buraitou on his ground form once that runs out of magic us Dokoutsui. When he takes a certain amount of damage, or uses up all his magic, he will then return to the alter and regain his magic. While he does this you can land a few hits, but after the red field glows, he can't be hurt. After the field disappears you can hurt him before he starts to fly. When he is flying try to use Senpumaru right under him. Whatever souls he releases, cautiously try to get blue and yellow souls. When he does his magic attacks, try to memorize the patterns and dodge/strafe out of the way. Most of the times he does his direct attacks, where he runs into you either in a drill form or with a slash, if you move out of the way he is open for some attacks. With time and practice he should be nothing. I would give more advice, but face it…we all have our own limits and capabilities. Use what works best. Note, that the Rekka-Ken's secret move [down, up and square] is a jump slash that can hit him while he is in mid level flight height. Use it if you have Rekka-Ken. For your sake, some of his moves: When Nobunaga glows blue he has the lighting element. He will make lighting orbs fly and strike the ground with lighting; you can easily avoid them by not standing on the blue shadows. He will also charge at you like a drill, think of M. Bison's Psycho Crusher, so just block it and after he is done spinning nail some hits. He can do this up to 2 times in row well most I've seen him do. He does also sometimes slash at you if you are close by. Blocking this slash can give you time to do a magic attack or a slash, but be prepared to block again because he will either slash in a combo or slash and follow it with magic or his drill attack. When Nobunaga glows green he has the wind element. He will start to unleash tornados after you, just run around and dodge them. They are unblockable so be careful if you get caught in a corner. He will also charge at you like a drill, think of M. Bison's Psycho Crusher, so just block it and after he is done spinning nail some hits. He can do this up to 2 times in row well most I've seen him do. He does also sometimes slash at you if you are close by. Blocking this slash can give you time to do a magic attack or a slash, but be prepared to block again because he will either slash in a combo or slash and follow it with magic or his drill attack. When Nobunaga glows yellow he has the earth element. He will make big rocks fall from the sky, and they can't be blocked. Not that any of his magic attacks can be. They are so easy to avoid, just stand underneath him and if you got Rekka-Ken it is a good time to do the jump slash [down, up, square]. I haven't seen him do the drill attack, but he does also sometimes slash at you if you are close by. Blocking this slash can give you time to do a magic attack or a slash, but be prepared to block again because he will either slash in a combo or slash and follow it with magic or his drill attack. When Nobunaga glows red he has the fire element. He will slash and a red fire like flame will move through the floor in the direction he slashed. It is unblockable and does great damage. After he loses some life, he will do this three times in a row, if you get hit by one, don't get up so soon, because then you won't be left with much time and the consecutive hits will also hit you. These are the best time to do strafing and dodging, since he is low to the ground, you can make your way towards him to unleash some attacks. K. Golden Evil Statue This monster shouldn't be too hard if you are quick with the controls. I recommend you always hold down R1; this is better for strafing and aiming and to always be as far away as possible from him. To defeat him, you should know his attacks and how to counter them. Fire balls: if you are holding R1, you will always be facing him, so the fireballs won't be a problem because when they are about to hit you, hold L1 to block and they won't hurt you. Mouth and Feet: the reason I say being fast, is because my strategy involves a lot of double tapping. If you get to close to the Statue, it will grab you in its mouth and chew on you, or its legs can crush you and you lose lots of life. So keep double tapping back as it gets close to you, and if you aren't using my strategy, then RUN!!!! Flame: when his mouth starts to show a little flame he will start to walk towards you with a flame shooting out moving from left to right. Easy, just keep double tapping back and attack when you can. If you aren't using my strategy, then just run away from it, and attack when you can. Pillars: His hand will rise to the mid section of his body and the floor will have spots that are red-white. When this happens, just strafe left or right, double tap back or forward, to move out of the way. If you are standing on one of the spots, a pillar will come out and hurt you. Lasers: The lasers are easy to dodge, the move in a pattern that intersect. All you need to do is be as far away from the Statue as possible, my strategy includes that, and be either all the way to the left, the right, or directly in the middle. The lasers won't intersect in the far back at the middle. Lasers 2: After he loses 2 or 3 pieces of armor, he has 5 in total, he will start to shoot a laser directly after the first one and sometimes on it's on. This laser is aimed, directly at Jubei. It won't curve like the first laser, but to avoid it simply strafe. If he does it after the first laser, if you are to the right or left, strafe in the opposite direction, if you are in the middle strafe either left or right. White Masks: These Masks make a funny laughter and will start to circle the Statue and are annoying but easy to avoid. Holding R1 and shooting will destroy a few of them, but after some time they will start twirling, showing their brown side, and then zoom towards you. If you keep strafing these shouldn't be a problem. Start on one end of the arena, left or right, and then strafe to the other side and back. They should all miss completely. Brown Masks: These masks make a mess of things since they get in your view. They also produce a yellow gas that can throw your strafing off pattern. So if you are strafing to avoid the white masks and suddenly get hit, the white masks will probably get you too. Be careful and keep strafing to avoid their gas, as you attack some of them will get destroyed. Good luck. XII. NECKLACES White Necklace: This Necklace allows your life to restore slowly if you stand still, and not move. Where to find: When you visit Imasho Town, you must buy all the items in the store 3 times.

Proceed with your game, and the third time you return to Imasho, being after you rescue Oyu, go back and talk to the man's father, right next to the man, and he will give you the Orange Necklace. Green Necklace: This Necklace helps you see demon chests, or secret treasure chests. Where to find: On your second trip to Yagyu Village and witness Takajo get killed, must be well of with Magoichi friendship wise, when you are returning back to the house Magoichi would be waiting by the rock path in the pond. Talk to him and he will give you a Saiga Bomb. Use it on the flimsy rocks next to where you got the lighting sword. A chest will bear the Green Necklace. Yellow Necklace: This Necklace allows you to absorb yellow souls from enemies when targeted by holing R1, even though they are still alive. Very useful if you are low on life and don't want to use curative items. Where to find: On your first trip to Oni Palace, you must be well of with Ekei friendship wise, after you have gotten the Circle Key and proceed to get the Gold Key, you will encounter Ekei at a dead end. Magoichi will come out of the dead end, Ekei and Magoichi will have a discussion then a monster will appear. Kill the monster and enter the new room to a chest that will bear the Yellow Necklace.

Talking to her will produce to demons to appear, killing them will lead to Oyu exiting another demon crashing through the wall. After you kill the demon, the chest will bear the Red Necklace. Blue Necklace: This Necklace allows you to absorb souls remarkably fast. It helps a lot specially when you Issen Combo. Where to find: Once at the eastern part of Gifu castle, you will enter the demon cave, you must be well off with Kotaro friendship wise, via the path light in the room blocked by an ice Mozun. Here you will travel the path, if you are stuck look through the walkthrough, and will encounter Kotaro and Oyu battling. Oyu will run off and Kotaro will chase her, Jubei will go after Kotaro. Both Jubei and Kotaro will come across a dead end, but Kotaro will find a switch. Enter the new room to a chest that will bear the Blue Necklace. Purple Necklace: This Necklace allows you to use less magic when you use your magic attacks. I'd say roughly 30% less then you usually need. Where to find: You must enter the Green Phantom Realm, on the 10th floor you will find the Purple Necklace. For information on the Green Phantom Realm, check the PHANTOM REALMS section. Black Necklace: This Necklace allows you to do a critical hit every time at the expense of some life. It is very useful if you are trying to attain S-Rank and aren't too good at Issens. Where to find: Once you have removed the petrifaction from the two men inside the tower, use the boat to access, at East Gifu Castle you will solve a puzzle. A light path will open up and you take it to the Oni Sacred Place Blood Pond. Enter the first door and immediately to your left there will be a locked door. To unlock the door with fingers on it you will be required to place the missing three fingers. The fingers are actually the fossils you can collect by trading. Put the three fossils in to reveal a chest that bears the Black Necklace. For information on how to get the fossils, go to the SEARCHING ITEMS section, and the solution to the puzzle box. The answer to the puzzle is: 3, 6, 9, and 11. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the PUZZLES section] XIII. PUZZLES I've decided to redo my puzzles. I noticed an easier way to explain them, thanks to Kouli, so if you are reading the old guide, that still has the numbers, the numbers resort to a direction. I will start labeling the puzzles with directions instead of numbers. Remember there are still 4 types of puzzles, the puzzles where you have to put numbers into a grid to get find a solution, a puzzle with a circle on tiles that you have to complete, a variation of the circle instead it is a double circle and the tile grid is larger, a puzzle where the titles don't move but only the direction, like a Rubix's cube, and a puzzle with diamonds and circles that you must move to match an example. A. Circle and Double Circle puzzles. The first thing you notice with the Circle puzzle is that you can only move a few spots. As you click a spot, the tiles will move in the opposite direction. The size of the board is 4x4 and the tiles are in a 1x3 order. When you move the tiles, they move together (the 3 that are adjoined in that direction) and they can't be moved unless there is an open space in that direction. Off the bat, there are two options for each direction, since the Circle is a 2x2 tile set. The answers I use to explain the puzzles are simple. I will give the number version of my answers as well. Top-left = 1 Top-right = 2 Right-top = 3 Right-bottom = 4 Bottom-right = 5 Bottom-left = 6 Left-bottom = 7 Left-top = 8. You will notice that it goes clockwise. Simple? I would draw a picture to better illustrate it, but my ASCII art is bad. The Double Circled puzzles is exactly the same, instead since the Double Circle Tile Set is a 3x3 tile set, there are more options. Think of the basics of the Circle puzzle and then just apply the new rules and directions. Top-left = 1 Top-middle = 2 Top-right = 3 Right-top = 4 Right-middle = 5 Right-bottom = 6 Bottom-right = 7 Bottom-middle = 8 Bottom-left = 9 Left-bottom = 10 Left-medium = 11 Left-right = 12 B. Number Grid The second types of puzzles are number grids with empty spots. There are empty spots on the grid and you have to fill them in using the numbers you are given. As you put them in, the numbers must sum up to the big number on the top. I will use the first grid Puzzle for my example. You must make it equal 15 in all directions X-1-X <-- first number grid, X's are empty spots 7-5-3 X-9-X 6 4 2 8 <-- the numbers on the bottom are the numbers you can use. Answer [the way I give it.]: 6, 8, 2 and 4. So in that order, you put them into the blanks. 6-1-8 7-5-3 2-9-4 C. Rubix's Cube This puzzle is identical to the Double Circle puzzle, except the tiles don't move in the traditional way. They move like a Rubix's cube. Instead of sliding the whole 1x3 set, it moves the tile set in the selected direction, making the last go to the first position. Since it is a double circle, the tile set is a 3x3. Example, use this and the terms used are from the Double Circle Puzzle 254 367 198 If we move 4 [right-middle] we get: 254 673 198 If we move 2 [top-middle] we get: 294 653 178 D. Diamonds and Circles These puzzles are rather simple. You must just move the tiles so that they match the little picture on the top. There are two versions, one with 4 tiles, and one with 6 tiles. When you move a tile to an open slot, you can either slide one over, or make one jump over another to the open slot [think of Checkers]. First Diamonds and Circles Puzzle D = Diamond O = Circle Move #1: D D _ O O Move #2: D _ D O O Move #3: D O D _ O Move #4: D O _ D O Move #5: D O O D _ Move #6: D O O _ D Move #7: D O _ O D Move #8: _ O D O D Move #9: O _ D O D Move #10: O O D _ D Move #11: O O _ D D SecondDiamonds and Circles Puzzle D = Diamond O = Circle Move #1: D D D _ O O O Move #2: D D D O _ O O Move #3: D D _ O D O O Move #4: D D O _ D O O Move #5: D _ O D D O O Move #6: D O _ D D O O Move #7: _ O D D D O O Move #8: O _ D D D O O Move #9: O D _ D D O O Move #10: O D D _ D O O Move #11: O D D O D _ O Move #12: O D D O _ O D Move #13: O D _ O D O D Move #14: O _ D O D O D Move #15: O O D _ D O D Move #16: O O D O D _ D Move #17: O O D O _ D D Move #18: O O _ O D D D Move #19: O O O _ D D D If you don't understand this, I'm sorry. It was the only way I knew how to explain it, so just practice at them. XIII.

PHANTOM REALMS [Note: To get to the Red Phantom Realm, you must have a good relationship with Kotaro. You will know you have this relationship if you get a cinema where Jubei realizes he is lost in Fog Valley. You will then get control of Kotaro. The Purple and Green Phantom realms can be acquired with Jubei.] A. Red Phantom Realm: Recover the Red Wedge in one of the black boxes (can only be opened by Kotaro) and use it on the red spot near the bridge at Fog Valley. Advice: Rather simple, just kill the monsters as they appear. Kotaro should be strong and fast enough to make this place a snap. If you are getting crowded, then use Kotaro's magic, and if the stronger demons are giving you a hard time, use Kotaro's magic. Items: Red Stone Pole, Roga-Kunai, Medicine, and Blue Wedge. Floors: 5 B. Blue Phantom Realm: Obtain the Blue Wedge from the Red Phantom Realm. Once you are in the room where you must place the Nobunanga statues in the Fog Valley, you will find a blue spot on the floor. Use the Blue Wedge to enter the Blue Phantom Realm. Advice: Rather simple, just kill the monsters as they appear. Kotaro should be strong and fast enough to make this place a snap. If you are getting crowded, then use Kotaro's magic, and if the stronger demons are giving you a hard time, use Kotaro's magic. Items: Blue Stone Pole and a Medicine. Floors 5 C. Green Phantom Realm: After traveling in the Light Path your first time in Oni Palace, you will find yourself on top of the East Tower at Gifu Castle. Travel down the stairwell and in the chest you should find the Green Wedge, note that if you have a good relationship with Ekei you will have to do his side-quest before proceeding. After exiting the tower, immediately to the right there will be a Lighting Mozun. Enter the room and there will be a green spot on the floor, use the Green Wedge and enter the Green Phantom Realm. Items: Purple Necklace, Medicine, and others. Floors: 10 D. Purple Phantom Realm: Once you have finished crashing the Oni Genbu into Gifu Castle, go up the floors. You will find yourself on a balcony walk way, enter the first door you find and open the chest to find the Purple Wedge. Leave the room and follow the walkway to find another door, use your map if you must, where you will find a purple spot on the floor, and use the Purple Wedge to enter the Purple Phantom Realm. Items: Rekka-Ken on the 20th floor, Fashionable Goods on the 21st floor (plunge Rekka- Ken back into the floor), and others. Floors: 21 XV. ITEMS A. Gifts This is a compiled list of items found in the Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny world. It is a simple list, with a ranking level for each character.

Rank B will add 30 points. Rank C will add 10. Rank D will minus 10 points. Rank X will minus 70 points. Rank Y will minus 50 points.

XVII. CREDITS The following people have contributed, and their help is very grateful. Marie "Sakuya Aki" Christner, my girlfriend, has sat down with me as I wrote this and corrected all 1,000+ typos, and stuff that I write. Thanks to her, it is legible. HAHA. Arturo "Latin Shogun" Gobin for his contributions of Pepsi and food that kept me alive long enough to play Onimusha 2, and for the fact that the game is his and he has let me borrow it for the last 2 weeks. Kouli's Topic at the GameFAQs message board [profile @ http://s2.cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/whois.asp?user=214831&board=3070&topic=420623 5] provided the SEARCHING ITEMS section. Some Sections, such as the SEARCHING ITEMS and ITEMS, have information that I couldn't really find the creator so I couldn't give proper credit. If you find information here that is yours and would either wish for me to credit you or remove it from the guide, please contact me. Thank you. XVIII. CONCLUSIONS This being my first FAQ, I must say it is coming along nicely. I enjoyed writing some of it, but dreaded going back to the game again after I had completed it. Well I guess there is always a reason to go back. I was originally supposed to write the Guide a week before it was started, but I guess school interfered. Thank God the weekend is coming up, so I can finally finish this and see if anyone even enjoys or uses it. HAHA. Good luck everyone, and happy gaming.
