/:::: Samonosuke's Weapons ::::\
_____________________________________/ \__
| |
| -- Normal Sword -- |
| You'll begin the game equipped with this item. It's very weak, but you |
| won't be fighting with it for very long. |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Thunder Orb -- |
| Your first taste of magic will be by way of the Thunder Orb. This |
| sword is very quick, as is its magic attack. |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Fire Orb -- |
| This is the most powerful of the hand-to-hand weapons, and also the |
| slowest. Players should pick either this weapon or the Thunder Orb |
| to battle with, depending on whether they favor speed or strength. |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Wind Orb -- |
| This is the coolest looking weapon, but ultimately mediocre. It's a |
| mix of the power of the Fire Orb and the speed of the Thunder Orb, |
| but a watered down version of both. Its magic spell is fantastic, |
| however, for taking out enemies around and above you. |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Bishamon Sword -- |
| The ultimate weapon of destruction, the Bishamon Sword is only |
| available once you've reached (and are locked in) the Demon World... |
| or is it? Check the Secrets section to find out how you can get |
| yourself equipped with this sword at the beginning of the game. This |
| weapon is by far the most powerful, killing off nearly every type of |
| demon in one shot. It also unlocks all three types of crystal doors |
| and uses no magic for its magic attacks. |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Bow and Arrow -- |
| This is great weapon for picking off low-level demons on |
| higher levels than you. You can also enhance Normal Arrows |
| to make them Fire Arrows, which are more powerful and can |
| be a great weapon in late boss battles. |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Matchlock and Bullets -- |
| This ancient rifle packs quite a punch. When enhanced, Bullets become |
| Blast Bullets and fire like shotgun shells, covering a wide range. |
| Though the blade is a samurai's weapon of choice, the Matchlock |
| shouldn't be kept holstered during tough boss battles. |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Soul Absorber -- |
| Though technically an item, the Soul Absorber can be one of the best |
| weapons around. Throw this item down and it emits a blue ring. Anything |
| that steps within this ring can be absorbed without fighting them. |
|_________________________________________________________________________|

/ \
/:::: Kaede's Weapons ::::\
__________________________________________/ \__
| |
| -- Knife -- |
| Standard ninja issue, the Normal Knife does little damage. It's light, |
| and thus very quick, however, allowing Kaede to smack her opponents |
| silly. |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Sacred Knife -- |
| This is the same as the Normal knife, just much more powerful. |

| 88888 :: BATTLING ::\
/==============================\========================================\
| |
| In order to successfully traverse the dangerous lands of Genma |
| Onimusha, you must learn effective battle techniques. This section |
| will give you some tips for making Demon slaying both easy and fun. |
|_______________________________________________________________________|
_______________________
/ \
/:::::::: Attacks ::::::::\
_________________________________________/ \__
| |
| -- Basic Attacks -- |
| Both Samonosuke's and Kaede's standard attacks are a swipe with |
| their blade. Tap the attack button and you'll string four |
| of these swipes together. The first two attacks go side to side, |
| the last two from top to bottom, bottom to top. This is important |
| to keep in mind, as some enemies like Gyaran hover above the |
| ground and force you to use the third and fourth attacks in a |
| sequence to hit them. The first and second one's go below them. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Kicks -- |
| Both characters can also drop weaker opponents with a swift kick |
| to the mid-section. When in range, press down and attack and |
| watch your enemy drop. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Deathblow -- |
| Move Samonosuke right above an enemy who's floored and press |
| attack. He'll plunge his sword into the demon and kill him with |
| one shot. Stronger beasts may get up after a sword plunge, but |
| they won't have much health left. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Quick Attack -- |
| Using Samonosuke, hold down R1 and move just out of attack range |
| from a demon. Press up and attack at the same time (while still |
| holding R1) and you'll lunge forward and stab the enemy. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Sneak-Attack -- |
| Again using Samonosuke, hold R1 but this time move |
| close to the opponent. Pressing up and attack now will make him |
| slash the demon from the floor up to his head. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Blood Necklace -- |
| When controlling Kaede, engage a demon in a battle. When in close |
| range press up and attack. She will do a flip with a twist, |
| putting her behind the enemy and facing his back. If the enemy |
| hasn't turned with her, she'll flip her knife and slit his throat |
| in a very slick animation. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Getting Un-Caught -- |
| Long-Arm Demons will be the first enemy that can grab you with a |
| fist and pick you up. They will not be the last. Any time you |
| find yourself in this situation tap on the attack button while |
| pressing up and down on the D-pad as quickly as possible. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Locking Blades -- |
| Occasionally you'll lock blades with a high level demon (like an |
| Oowassha or Dark Armor Demon). Tap the attack button while |
| pressing up, down on the D-pad. If you do it quick enough, you'll |
| toss the enemy over your shoulder and have a chance to drop a |
| sword in him while he's on the ground. If you're a little slower, |
| you'll end up causing a draw, where you'll unlock blades and both |
| take a step back. If you're really slow, or don't use this |
| technique, the enemy will be the one knocking you on the ground. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Active Projectile Blocking -- |
| Believe it or not, you can actually block projectiles like kunai |
| and arrows by slashing them with your blade. The timing is tough |
| to get down, but if you have something flying at your head and |
| have to react quickly, try hitting the attack button. You may be |
| able to slap it away. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| -- Power Slashes -- |
| When using a sword, Samonosuke can power up the blade to do more |
| damage and have added effects. Press and hole the X button and |
| watch as the sword powers up three times. After the third power |
| up, hitting an enemy and who has absorbed a Green Soul will knock |
| the Green Soul loose and turn the enemy back to normal. |

| Make sure that your Thunder Orb is equipped and try to go through |

| Cut-scene |
| |
| Go through the door. This area is full of enemies, but you don't |
| have to fight them if you don't want to. The South Area Map is in |
| a partially hidden box here, too. Cut down one of the standing |
| wooden boards to reveal it. When you're done here, go through door 3 |
| opposite from where you entered. |
| |
| This large area has four doors. You just came through the first |
| door [3]. The second is to your right [11], but it is sealed for now. |
| The third [10] is directly opposite from where you entered and is |
| sealed by a Fire Seal. The fourth is just to the left of the Fire |
| Seal door. Go through this door [4]. |
| |
| There is another door [5] straight ahead and a |
| hole in the wall on your left. Go through the door for now. |

| soldier, he'll give you a Magic Jewel as a thank you. Go through |
| this area and through the door at the end. Continuing along the |
| path you will come to a door sealed by Fire Seals. Go past it and |
| keep looking to the left for a well. When you spot it, go down |
| into it. **THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN RETURN LATER TO CHECK OUT THE DARK |
| REALM MINI-GAME** Find the box in the bottom of the well and take |

| There is also a chunk of Fluorite at the other end of this hall, near |
| the door with the fire seal. After doing your business here, go inside |
| the large door next to the Magic Mirror [6]. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Boss Battle: Osric |
| |
| Osric has four types of attacks. |
| 1. Double Swing: he swings his club like a tennis racket on his |
| forehand, and then follows with a backhand. |
| 2. Ground Smash: he swings his club straight down, trying to smash |
| you into the ground. |
| 3. Charge: he runs straight at you trying to drive you into a wall. |
| 4. Uppercut: he swings his club from low to high, trying to |
| knock your head off. |
| |
| Face him and allow him to approach you. Just like the Mini-Bosses |
| before, he'll start to move his weapon just as he's about to |
| attack. Again, jump back when he does this. If he attacks with |
| a Ground Smash or an Uppercut, you can move right in and take a |
| few slashes at him after the swing. If he uses a forehand swing, |
| wait 'til he follows with the backhand before you move in and |
| cut him up. This is a good time to use your lightning attack, |
| too. After you slash him up a bit he'll get angry and raise his |
| arms. This is your cue to get some distance, as he's about to use |
| a Charge. As soon as he begins a Charge, run either left or |
| right to avoid it, or face him, hold R1 and strafe left or right |
| (see the Battling section for more details). He'll Charge a few |
| times, then get tired and open himself up to an attack. Take |
| this opportunity to do some damage and collect some soul pieces, and |
| then begin the cycle over again. Repeat these steps 'til he's dead. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| When Osric falls to his death, he'll knock open a secret hallway. |
| |
| Go into it and pick up the Journal #2 immediately on your left. |
| Continue ahead through the door [7]. |
| |
| Walk forward, break the vases and pick up the Fluorite from |
| behind them. Continue ahead through the hall of skeletons and |
| through the door [8]. |
| |
| Cut-scene |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Mini-Boss Battle: Reynaldo |
| Reynaldo can be a tough cookie if you don't fight aggressively. |
| What you need to do is immediately get in his face and knock him |
| down, either with several slashes or with a kick. Once he's down, |
| get over him and plunge your sword into him. He'll split into two |
| pieces and reform into two Reynaldo. Continue attacking them |
| vigorously and using the Sword Plunge when you knock them down. |
| Each Renaldo will split at least one more time before it dies so |
| don't stop attacking. |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| After defeating Reynaldo, walk up to the stone alter. You won't |
| be able to read what's inscribed in it, but grab the Fire Orb just |
| to the left of it. Leave the room the same way you came in. Move |
| through the hall of skeletons, through both stone halls and back |
| into the room where you fought Osric. |
| |
| There will be a few Gyaran here now. As you enter the room Osric |
| will release his soul fragments and the Gyaran will suck them up. |
| What you have to do is take them out one at a time. When one dies, |
| they'll transfer their soul to another one. Upon defeating the |
| last one, it will unleash a mass of soul pieces it's gathered for |
| you to collect. Move over to the door with the Flame Crystal [9]. |
| You'll use your gauntlet to unlock the door and return to the |
| hallway with the Save Point. |
| |
| Turn left at the save point and continue through the hall to |
| leave the tomb. Go back up by way of the Rope Ladder. |
| |
| Helpless Soldier: he's being attacked in the area just when you come |
| up from the rope ladder. Help him and he'll give you a Magic Jewel. |
| |
| Go back through the door to the right. The door just ahead on your |
| left has a Fire Seal on it. Now that you have the Flame Orb, you can |
| unlock this door [10]. Do so, and go through it. |

| Cut-scene |
| |
| This room you're in has four doors: |
| 1. You just entered through |
| 2. Immediately on your left |
| 3. Directly in front of you |
| 4. Ahead and on the left |
| |
| First thing you need to do is enhance your Thunder Orb to level 2, |
| if you haven't done this already. Go through door 4 and access the |
| Magic Mirror. Use all of your souls to power up the Thunder Orb. |
| If you don't have enough souls, walk around for a while battling |
| enemies and collecting pink souls 'til you can get the Thunder Orb |
| to level 2. |
| |
| After you've powered up your orb, go through door 2 and continue |
| ahead and through door 5. There is a piece of Fluorite immediately on |
| your right on top of a box. Continue through this room and through |
| door 6. Take the R. Crest Piece from inside the box and return to |
| the room you originally entered the Keep in. |
| |
| You can go through door 4 to use the Magic Mirror, blue souls well |
| (to refill your magic) and see where the other entrance to the Dark |
| Realm is. Go through door 3 when you're ready. |
| |
| Cut-scene |
| |
| Don't worry about door 7 for now, you'll be in that room later. |
| Go through door 8, through door 9, and then continue through the |
| hallway. |
| |
| Cut-scene |
| |
