Shenmue - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Shenmue - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

Legend
--------------
B        - Boxes
C        - Construction stuff
S        - Start (in the beginning)
->, ^, | - Arrows on where you should go based on the guide below
/\       - Door

This is a rough map on what the place is supposed to be. If you find the guide
for the area difficult, use the map above. Take note that this map is BASED on
the guide below. The map is also based on my memory so if there's anything
wrong with it, please e-mail me. Also, other warehouses are not included except
for Warehouse No. 8 to make the map not so confusing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This part is famous and known as the Metal Gear Solid part. You will soon see
why. Once you are caught by a guard, you will miss a day and have to start all
over again. Press the A button to hide between walls or items (like boxes).
Follow my instructions and you should be able to get past through in no time.

First, press the A button at the wall just at the side of Ryo to hide behind
it. Once the guard turns his back, quickly run (yes, run) towards the first
junction the right and hide behind the second stack of boxes (by pressing the A
button again). Once the guard walk the other way, run straight to the front
(DON'T go to other junctions), past by some sort of construction stuff and hide
behind the wall after the second junction to the left (I hope this is not
confusing).

Then, once the guard walks away, go towards the second junction earlier and run
towards the well-hidden door (right side of the big number 8) located a bit to
the right. Press A at the door and you're in. If you're stuck, try and get used
to it and get as few mistakes as possible or you will waste lots of time and
days.

Few times after you get caught, the old man that you helped just now will give
you a map. Another couple more mistakes and he will draw the movement of the
guards on the map. Still more mistakes and he will label the warehouses and
more mistakes, he will appear once more and suggest that you come back at 11.00
p.m. To see the map, press the X button (it's safer to do that once you hide
behind walls or boxes).

Once you reached inside Warehouse No. 8, ransack the shelves and try and find
for a piece of white china plate. The voice will call out and Ryo will drop it
and it will be smashed to pieces. It's all automatic later on and you will have
a conversation between Master Chen (the fat, jolly in red suit old man) and Gui
Zhang (in his black suit), his son. Ryo will talk about Rantei (I figure out
that Rantei as Ryo called is really Lan Di) and found that he is in the group
called Shuemon and is related to Mad Angels. Then, Ryo will automatically sleep
and wake up at the next morning. If you keep wasting your days, there is some
good advantage too. You will find a short raise in your total money income.

-------------------------------------
[4.3] In Search of Phoenix Mirror
-------------------------------------

Okay, the next morning, go and talk to Ine-san. Then, go to the dojo an speak
to Fuk-san. After a good deal of conversation, Ryo will automatically leave the
area and Ine-san will appear and begin to talk to you. Apparently, she had
heard something from Fuk-san because of his loud voice. It seems that Ryo's
father had left some important item at the Antique Shop.

Along the road of Yamanose, there will be a short cut-scene of the kitten
growing bigger (if you take care of it properly). It does not need the box
already so be sure to take care of the kitten properly.

Walk to Dobuita and head to the Antique shop which is near Tomato Mart. It's
the place where you can buy the move scrolls which costs around 300 yen to 3000
yen. Move back to the subject, enter the door and you will have an automatic
conversation with the old man (not the woman like before when you come here to
buy the move scrolls). After another long talk, he will reveal and give you a
special item that will be very, very useful later on.

Return home and on the way at Sakuragaoka, you will meet up with Gui Zhang,
Master Chen's son once more. After a short Free Battle-style fight, he will
tell that it seems that Ryo don't need a bodyguard (he's speaking 'bodyguard'
in English) as he is instructed to do so by his father. Ryo will talk for a
while and your worst enemy of the entire Shenmue, Chai will leave after spying
the two on top of the roof.

Okay, now go home and head to the dojo. You will have a short cut-scene with
and a short conversation. When you enter the dojo, go the right side a bit and
try and look around for a small and long rectangular brown box on the ground.
Examine it in Search mode and press the Y button to select the old key that you
have found in Disc 1 at his father's room earlier. Use it and he will find the
'katana', the sword.

While taking it around, go towards the two drawings and writings on the scrolls
near the box. Examine the right one and press the A button to take it out and
put it down. At the hole there, press the A button and Ryo will draw out his
long and sharp sword. Then, he will insert it at the hole and will fit in
nicely. At the left scroll, examine it and put the scroll down like the right
one. Then, once you see the hole, press the Y button and select the item that
have been given by the old man at the Antique Shop earlier. Put the item in and
'ting!', you have the item in and reveal a secret passage.

Walk down the stairs and Ryo will rub himself clean. If you try and enter
through the darkness, Ryo will automatically climb up back. Use the torchlight
that have been found (or bought) and use it. If it run out of batteries, buy a
couple at the Tomato Mart. Okay, switch on the torch and wander around a few
short corners and you will reach the main room.

There are three items all together to find. Ransack every corner and shelves
and items you can find to get an old leaf, an almost faded picture of Ryo's
father and another friend of his and a move scroll. Keep the scroll until Disc
3. Here, you can also try and light every candle you can see. It helps a little
to make the room brighter.

Now, head to the mirror (you can examine it if you want) and face out from it
(what's face out you may ask? Look towards the mirror and press the down button
to make a 180 degrees turn). Head to the table on the right side (after facing
out, it's the table with a small writing on it and can be seen when you examine
the mirror. On the left side of the table, examine the floor and you will see
white marks. Press the A button at the nearby table and Ryo will pull it away.
Examine the wall behind it and Ryo will mention something.

Now, there will be an axe in the same room (you have probably find it after
'ransacking' the whole area) so grab it and head to the strange wall. Ryo will
break it and collect the treasure prize that Lan Di wants too, the Phoenix
Mirror. Exit the area in peace and have a short talk with Fuk-san. After this,
it may be dark (probably not).

You may also want to get a second secret scroll in the dojo (thanks to
RYOJI1@aol.com again). Here's what he said: When you walk into the dojo, look
to the left. On the wall you will see a frame that has black Japanese writing
on a white paper. First-person-view on that frame and Ryo will say that he
can't reach it. Walk over to the little stool to the right of the frame and
press A. Ryo will move the stool over and get on top of it to remove the frame
and find the scroll.

Whatever, give Master Chen another call by 0468-61-5647 and answer by the usual
password, hear the word 'Father's Heaven' and press the right button and then
left. Hear the word 'Mother's Earth' in the beginning so press the left button
and then right. He will tell you to go to Warehouse No. 8 again.

Board the bus (if it's not near 9.00 p.m. as you are forced to sleep once it's
at 11.30 p.m.) and head to the place where you have went before and have to
sneak in (near Tomu's Hot Dog Stall at the right side; Tomu's stall may not
appear if it's night). Talk to the guard and he will let you in (it can ONLY
work if you called Master Chen earlier).

Walk inside Warehouse No. 8 peacefully without guards bothering you as before.
There, you will meet Master Chen and Gui Zhang once more. After a bit of
talking, Ryo will show the Phoenix Mirror to Master Chen. After another
conversation, the perfect and pure evil one appears, Chai. He will make a fast
grab at the Phoenix Mirror and begins to run away. Gui Zhang will run and try
and catch him but Master Chen will command you quickly at the switch control.
Succeed in this quick QTE and Ryo will have the Phoenix Mirror back at the
right hands. Then, Chai will leap away. Then, Ryo decides to go to Hong Kong to
chase down Lan Di.

-------------------------------------
[4.4] Ticket to Hong Kong
-------------------------------------

Sleep for the night and have a beautifully created short dream of the Phoenix.
When you get up, you will get around 32,000 yen through his back accont. Talk
to Fuk-san (in his room) and after telling him your plans to Hong Kong, he will
look shocked. Ryo will then decide to Ine-san and walk towards the kitchen.
Before Ryo can even tell her, that most annoying Fuk-san tells her in a very
loud voice (perhaps what Ine-san said was true after all). Ine-san will walk
away (is she crying?) and left Ryo in distress. Well, Fuk-san is a real idiot,
as Ryo had calls him sarcastically.

Now, walk out all the way to Dobuita and go to 'The World Tour' opposite Tomu's
Hot Dog Stall. Go inside and talk to the person there and he will give you a
phamplet. Now, head to another travel agent opposite Aida's Flower Shop and
near Funny Bear Burger shop. Go inside to have a most unpleasant conversation
with an extreme rude girl. Take the phamplet and go away. Ryo will speak
something and then, walk all the way home. Talk to Fuk-san again and he will
break his piggy bank and give you around 40,000 yen and you will gain around
70,000 yen all together.

Walk all the way back to Dobuita and walk to Harasaki at Aida's Flower Shop.
Talk to her and she will tell you to go with boat for a cheaper price. Go to
the unpleasant shop opposite Aida's Flower Shop and you will give the lady
69,000 yen for the ticket after some discussing. She will tell you to come back
the next day.

Now, you may want to kill time until around 7 or 8 p.m. On that time, head back
home and you will have a short conversation with Fuk-san where you will tell
everything to him. Then, sleep for the night and wake up the next morning.

Again, you may take this opportunity to kill time until 3.00 p.m. Practice your
fighting skills espeacially the normal kick (A button) as it is very, very
important for a difficult battle later on. Once at 3.00 p.m. or so, head to the
travel agent opposite Aida's Flower Shop.

You will have an automatic sequence later and fight the bad guys inside. After
talking to Jimmy (the man inside the shop), exit from the shop and kill time
until 7.00 p.m or earlier. Go home and Fuk-san will tell you that Harasaki has
left some flowers for you.

Go inside the house and to the altar room and Ine-san will appear and say that
Harasaki has left some flowers for Iwao. Sleep again at 8 p.m. if you like or
practice some moves for some time. Before you sleep, you might want to save
first. Once you wake up, Jimmy will call you and ask you to head to Game YOU at
12.00 p.m. If you haven't save you better do it.

Go at the right time to Game YOU and go inside. You will meet that pure,
supreme evil Chai and he will gobble up your ticket to Hong Kong. Now, you will
have one of the most difficult Free Battle against that 'more-evil-than-Lan Di'
Chai. Try and win this part to prove your fighting skills.

Okay, fighting with Chai can be absolutely difficult. The only attacks that can
get him are kicks so DON'T ever use any punch-related techniques. As for me,
normal kicks will do. Kick him repeatedly and even when he is falling on the
ground, kick him and you will succeed. Throws can only work one or two times
(for me) so I recommend that you don't use it at all.

Two 'endings' will go if you lose or win. Losing this part is very obvious and
you will end up Chai running away and Fuk-san will enter Game YOU to save you
(did he have telephatic powers?). Then, you will sleep in your own room and
wasted one whole day. You CAN'T replay the whole Free Battle so if you lose and
you desperately want to win, save first in Ryo's room before you come all the
way to battle.

If you win, Chai will run away of course and you can continue the game as
usual. Whether you wake up the next morning or immediately go after defeating
Chai, head to Asia Travel (the travel agent opposite Aida's Flower Shop). While
opening the door, Jimmy will suddenly appear and try and push you over. He will
then run away and prepare for the longest QTE in Disc 1 and 2. If you fail,
you'll have to start all over again.

Once you caught up with that guy, he will tell that you don't have the ticket.
Then, the usual black screen will appear so save the game and pop in Disc 3 and
continue.

========================================================================
<5> S h e n m u e  C h a p t e r  1: Y o k o s u k a - Disc 3 Guide <5>
========================================================================

Finally, you've entered Disc 3 where tons and tons of Free Battle are here
including the best and longest QTE are here. You can even earn more money
through a new job so you can actually spend your money without getting scared
that it will run out. Enjoy yourself here as it's the last disc. If you haven't
check the Passport Disc yet, check it out after completing the whole game.
Also, in this guide, I will list out the moves that will be taught since they
can be quite confusing. Good luck and enjoy!

-------------------------------------
[5.1] Searching for Job
-------------------------------------

As you catch up with Jimmy, he will give you a new replacement ticket and tell
you that Mad Angels work at the New Yokosuka Harbor so go your way there.
Before going there, walk to Harasaki and have a little chat. Note that if it is
around 1.00 or 2.00 p.m. (espeacially those who have completed and succeeded
the Chai part), don't bother to go there as you will waste your money (bus
ticket) and time. Kill time and practice every single of your moves or at Game
YOU.

Now, head to the harbor and go to Warehouse No. 18 (look back at the map, it's
near Tomato Mart). Talk to the person inside and go to Warehouse No. 12. Walk
around the Warehouse No. 12 and wait at around 12 p.m. until Goro with his
absolutely odd hairstyle appears (walk around the area near Warehouse No. 12
since he won't appear right in front of it).

After talking, you might want to catch a bus and kill time at Dobuita or
practice your fighting skills. If you haven't got used to New Yokosuka Habor's
surroundings, you better do so for later convenience's sake.

Also, once you're at the New Yokosuka Harbor, you might want to get the two
secret scrolls that you got in the dojo (at Disc 2) to work. Thanks to
RYOJI1@aol.com for the help. Go to the telephone booth (near the entrance) and
call Master Chen's telephone number: 61-5764 and answer the usual answers. If
the guy says something in the beginning with 'Father's Heaven', choose the
right option then left. If the guy says something in the beginning with
'Mother's Earth', choose the left option then right.

Gui Zhang will pick answer the phone. Then, go and find Gui Zhang at the Old
Warehouse No. 8. Gui Zhang will read this for Ryo since it is in Chinese. Once
the event is done, check the item inventory and look at the manual. Ryo will
speak and learn a new punch move: ->, <-, <-, X+A

Now repeat the phone call sequence and go see Gui Zhang a second time. If you
have the mysterious scroll found behind the frame in the dojo, Gui Zhang will
read this to Ryo as well. It's a legendary move written in Chinese and also in
the form of a song. Only the master who wrote it and the actual person who
receives the scroll can understand the true meaning of the scroll. Gui Zhang
tells Ryo to hold onto the scroll because he might meet the master who wrote
the scroll.

From now on (I think), Harasaki's friend will appear outside Game YOU around
7.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. You will have an automatic conversation with her (when
you walk near her) and she will tell you that Harasaki is in the Sakuragaoka
Park. She will talk to you and have a romantic scene where she will lean
against Ryo's shoulder until 11.30 p.m. BUT for certain people (it's just your
luck), that girl will just talk to you and nothing else. Anyway, sleep for the
night and get up the next morning.

Head all the way to the harbor outside NEAR the big, blue door at Warehouse No.
1. Wait until around 12.00 p.m. Goro and Mai will appear (it's an absurd and
funny scene) and direct you to go to the office. Again, refer to the map above,
{Diagram 4} and find your way yourself. It's a very big building with a small
door.

Head inside the door and have a talk with the boss inside. He will let you see
Mark and he will teach you ways of handling the fork-lift machine. In the
beginning, he will ask you to do these moves in order:

Left / Right, Accelerate, Reverse, Lift up boxes

For the controls, learn it below:

Controls
--------------
A button - Lift up boxes
X button - View map (once you got it)
Y button - Open the menu
L button - Reverse
R button - Accelerate
D-pad    - To move the wheels of the fork-lift

Try and get used to these controls as you will have this job mostly throughout
the game. You need to take the boxes and put it inside the nearest warehouse
just next to you. Put the boxes inside the white lines and in order if you like
but the more boxes you put, the more money you will get. You need to get the
'fork' down first and them ram it below the boxes. Press the A button
repeatedly to get the 'fork' higher or lower.

At 5.00 p.m., you will stop work and the guy inside you will explain to you
about the work's routine. Then, talk to everyone here if you like to gain info
about the Mad Angels. At 7.00 p.m. (once the lights are on), go and walk around
the office the Mad Angels attacking the old man you had helped or eitherwise.

Get ready for a short QTE and attack the motorcycles as well as the drivers.
After helping him, then you will be automatically at home and asleep. If you
want to save, save before you sleep as you can't save at all throughout the
game except when you're back at home).

-------------------------------------
[5.2] Fork-Lift Driver
-------------------------------------

Wake up the next day quite early then usual (you will not have your usual
allowance from now on) and prepare for a fork-lift race with other four
drivers. In the beginning, it will be a bit hard but as the saying goes,
"Practice makes Perfect". If you win either first, second, third, fourth or
fifth, you will get a small toy truck marked with the number (position) you
have won. You can also press the X button for the map of the area if you're
stuck.

After that, Mark will give you a map. Carry the boxes and put it at Warehouse
No. 18. At lunch time, you will help Mark as he is about to get beaten up by
the two Mad Angels people. After the Free Battle, the two will run away. Wander
around the place until around 2 p.m. and you will be automatically back to
work.

Half-way through, you'll encounter another three Mad Angels again so kick them
out of the way in another Free Battle. After 5 p.m., get your pay and walk
outside the office for a little while until Goro comes to have a short
conversation with him.

Walk around a little bit (around 6.00 p.m.) and Gui Zhang should appear. He
will offer to teach you a new technique so press the left button to accept.
It's <- + A. Then, wait until around 8 p.m. and walk around the Tomato Mart
area.

You'll see the jolly old man again you helped earlier. He will ask Ryo to fight
him but Ryo doesn't want to hurt him and hit softly. Then, after asking Ryo to
use all his energy, he agrees and the old man successfully avoids all. He will
teach you a new fighting skill (-> + Y + B).

Now, go back home and have a good night sleep. Take note that you can't go home
until after 8.00 p.m. for some reason. Then, have a dream about the Phoenix
Mirror and you will wake up the next day.

It's the whole same step like the previous day before. You will have a
fork-lift race, take your prize and get a new map. Each work-place will be
different each day. In the afternoon, talk to the rest of the men sitting
nearby if you want and wait until 2 p.m. as usual.

In the middle of the working period, you will be attacked by 9 men from Mad
Angels again. Fight 2 rounds of Free Battle (first five, then four people) and
finish them off. They will tell youm to go to Warehouse No. 17. Continue until
5 p.m. and collect your usual pay.

After work, go to Warehouse No. 17 and you will see the Mad Angels up to their
usual no good. They're beating up poor Mark so fight them up in Free Battle
mode. Wait until 8 p.m. and talk to the old man again near Tomato Mart. He will
teach you another technique, -> + Y + B, X. After learning the move, talk to
him again and then sleep peacefully at home.

The next day, you will repeat the same process as before; joining the fork-lift
driver race and shifting boxes in the right warehouse after getting the map.
Now, you need to shift the boxes to Warehouse No. 8 again.

During lunch, Harasaki will come and her friend will take a photo with the both
of them. You can actually choose with photos you want to take, either left or
right by using the Action Selector. Whichever you had choose, Harasaki will
choose the other one. Then, the two of them will leave and you have to wait
patiently until 2.00 p.m.

Try and put as many boxes as you can into Warehouse No. 18 and you know that
hard work pays off. After getting yor pay and work at 5.00 p.m., talk to Goro
who will hang around in front of the office. Walk around the office and talk to
him. Then, head to the area near Tomato Mart at around 7.00 p.m.

You will have a long QTE chase on the motorcycle and it's a cool one. You must
get it right or you will have to start all over again. After that, you will
have to fight with 5 Mad Angels and Charlie again in Free Battle mode. After
that, wait until past 8 p.m. and you can go home and sleep.

Later that night, Ryo will dream of short sequences on Lan Di. Then, wake up
the next morning and join the fork-lift race like normal and get your prize and
map. You'll have to put the boxes in Warehouse No. 18 again but on longer
distance. Do this unti 12.00 p.m., hang around or kill time at Tomato Mart for
darts.

Once at 2.00 p.m., start work again and half-way through during work, you will
have a QTE against the Mad Angels. After defeating them, resume your work until
5.00 p.m. and get your pay. Now, after work you will have an automatic sequence
with Mark near the office and after finishing talking, talk to him once more
near the office again (facing out from the office, head left).

Hang out by talking to people or doing other activities until 8.00 p.m. Then,
board the bus and go home (or hang around in Dobuita if you like). Wake up the
next morning and do all the same thing as before. It will be the last day for
you to enjoy so have a good time with it. Race in the fork-lift race and
collect your toy fork-lift machine and map.

Now, you will have to take the boxes to Warehouse No. 8. Put them at the white
lines and take the redish boxes to Warehouse No. 18. It will be a little
confusing so practice the area a bit. At lunch-time, you will have a scene with
Goro and Mai and it seems as if both of them are getting married.

Still at lunch-time, you may want to talk to Mark and the rest or wander around
the streets. Now, after lunch at 2.00 p.m., you will get back to work and
half-way working, you will encounter 2 Mad Angels on the way. Ryo decided to
give them a chase so prepare for yet another QTE.

Chase one of them and they will tell you the name of Mad Angels' boss, Terry
(not at all a frightening name). After work, your boss will tell you that
someone had left a letter for you and it turns out to be from Gui Zhang. You
will have an automatic conversation with Master Chen and Gui Zhang and begin to
talk about the Mad Angels.

Again, wait until 8 p.m. and board the bus home to sleep.

-------------------------------------
[5.3] Mostly about Friends
-------------------------------------

At 11.45 p.m., Ryo will awake by himself and went to get out. Ine-san will say
that Harasaki haven't return home yet and at that point, the telephone rang.

Ryo will pick up the phone and it turns out to be Chai! Ryo will hear
Harasaki's voice and Chai asked him to come if he wants her to be safe. You'll
need to go to New Yokosuka Harbor by 3.00 a.m. but Ryo needs to go before 2.00
a.m. Now, walk out of the street and head all the way to Dobuita. Try and go to
the bus stop and it seems that the bus operations are stopped at the moment.

You will have to use another transport so head to Yokosuka Japan Knocking, the
motorcycle shop. Knock on the green door and the owner will come out. He will
tell you to go to other place at Sakuragaoka. Go there and head to the
motorcycle near the gotcha-gotcha machines (don't go to any junctions).

It should be easy to find and you will have an automatic scene of Ryo borrowing
the motorcycle from the owner. After a very quick conversation, Ryo will be
given the keys and he drove away in the motorcycle (cool looks with the helmet,
don't you think?).

Controls
--------------
L button - Brake
R button - Accelerate
D-pad    - Move the motorcycle


Now, you'll need to have extreme good controls in this motorcycle game. There
won't be any cars or vehicles at all and you are given only 1 minute and 30
seconds as in real world. The trick is you'll need to slow down a bit (by not
pressing the accelerate button) at certain corners (brakes won't help at all
except for certain times).

If you lose, you will have to start all over again. It takes some good practice
and make sure you don't bang into corners or walls because it will slow you a
lot considerably. After that, you will have a cut-scene where Ryo drives his
motorcycle to the New Yokosuka Harbor.

After that, you will have two rounds of Free Battle with the Mad Angels, first
with six people and then five. It's pretty easy if you had practiced a lot
before by giving the normal kicks, punches and throws. You might want to use
the new techniques that had been taught (try a few times or you will get
punched).

After fighting, Terry (the big boss) will free Harasaki with a condition. He
wants you to 'kill' Gui Zhang but Harasaki try and prevents him from agreeing.
Later on, Terry will free Harasaki after Ryo say 'yes
' and unfortunately, you can't have a fight with him in Free Battle which is a
pity (for those who eagerly wanting to give him a punch). Later on, you will
see a cool romantic scene of Harasaki hanging on Ryo on a motorcycle with a
serene music in the background (record it, quick!).

The next morning, you will have a nice cut-scene at the dojo. Then, head to the
harbor and your boss will fire you for no apparent reason. Walk to Tomu's Hot
Dog Stall and he will try and cheer you up and even offer you a cup of coffee.

He will show you a move that his friend had taught him and it's called the
Tornado Kick (it's partially English as he talked). He will ask you whether you
want to learn it or not so press right for 'no'. Then, he will ask you once
again so press the left button for 'yes'. He will then teach you 2 whole new
skills instead of a miserable one (->, ->, A, A).

Then, Tomu will tell you that he wants to go to America and then the two of
them will sit together and eat. Then, Ryo will see Tomu fly in an aeroplane
away and say a nice, friendship-related sentence to him (find out yourself!).

At 10.00 p.m., you will be automatically send to the right place. Terry's men
will be there and Gui Zhang will show up later. Ryo will put up a fight and
soon, both of them will engaged into a battle. At that point in Free Battle,
you can control so you can freely punch, kick or throw him if you like. In the
middle of the battle, Ryo will talk to him for a while and both of them will
get exhausted.

Now, this will be a very quick QTE so don't leave your controller once both of
them lie down (learned from my lesson). One of the Mad Angels will swing down
some sort of metal at Gui Zhang so press the right button or you will hear Gui
Zhang's agony scream.

-------------------------------------
[5.4] The Last Battles
-------------------------------------

This will be the last section of Shenmue Chapter 1: Yokosuka Guide for Disc 3
so enjoy it for the last time. Ryo and Gui Zhang will fight together throughout
the game against 70 men. Of course, Gui Zhang will be computer-controlled so
sometimes, he is not really helpful though he will defeat some enemies too.

There will be three main bosses here, a big raging guy, a guy with some sort of
stick and the main leader of Mad Angels. Be careful of them so if your life is
low, you might want to run about the place to gain life a bit but be warned
that enemies will chase you as well and Ryo will get tired easily.

After tiring yourself with the Free Battle, there will be one more QTE with
Terry. Succeed the QTE and Gui Zhang will fling him to almost-death. The next
day, Ryo will take a last look on his house and Fuk-san will come to talk to
him. Ine-san will look at Ryo secretly and then the heart-wrenching scene is
gone.

Next, you will reach the harbor and meet Master Chen and Gui Zhang. Gui Zhang
tells that he will follow Ryo to Hong Kong. Master Chen will teach you a new
technique (-> + X, A). You will then practice it at Gui Zhang. Later, your
worst enemy has arrived. Take a guess.

Nope, not Lan Di but the supreme horrible looking villain, Chai. As usual, he
sneaks at the top and drops a metal plank at Ryo. Sharp-eyed Gui Zhang noticed
it and pushed Ryo away in time but got hit by the plank at his leg.

This is the last Free Battle of lifetime and it's tough if you haven't
practiced lately. Kick him a lot and try and use the new techniques if you
want. Recover some life by running around (but Chai will follow you too like a
dog chasing you).

Once defeated him, Gui Zhang will not be able to go together with Ryo and you
will see a scene Lan Di getting on the boat. Well, the evil villain has not
given up as he is back to life and prepare for the last QTE and kick him splash
to the sea. And, he's gone... probably forever.

Watch the nice sweet ending of Ryo having a flashback (before going to the
harbor) with Harasaki. With Ryo getting on the boat, and the last poem floating
across the scene, Shenmue Chapter 1: Yokosuka is at the end. Wait until the
credits rolled down and save your game. Thanks for reading this guide and hope
you had enjoyed it. You may have nothing to do now but you may want to replay
the 70 Men Battle at the options and explore the Passport Disc.

This is the part where information of mini-games or others are located here.
Happy reading!

-------------------------------------
[6.1] Raising the Cat
-------------------------------------

You can easily raise your cat in the beginning at Disc 1 by giving him the fish
but not the biscuit. Then, raise him by giving specific food for him (not
snacks or chocolates!).

When you have got him healthy, talk to Megumi, the girl near the kitten always.
You will have a selection on what name to give him:

       [Mimi]
[Sasuke]     [Chibi]
       [Tama]

-------------------------------------
[6.2] Darts 7
-------------------------------------

Now, in Game YOU, there will be few mini-games for you to play and enjoy. This
game will be much easy than the rest so you can actually find out by yourself.
Insert your 100 yen and you will be given 5 darts to begin.

Your goal is to gain as much points as you can but to gain more, you must hit
the middle region or the red colour part to get extra points. Hitting other
parts will gain you few points only.

Ryo's hand will move about and you must have concentration. Once it moves at
the middle or other parts, press the A button to shoot. If you get enough
points, you will advance to the next level (or game as they call it).

Winning the three games for the first time and the owner will give you a mini
model of Darts 7. Nice for collection.

-------------------------------------
[6.3] QTE 2
-------------------------------------

Ryo will pronounce it as Excite QTE. Press the A button to play it (it's only
100 yen, as usual). The objective of the game is to advance level by level
(only three by the way, beginner, medium and hard). This game is good to test
your 'QTE skill'.

There will be a fast bar moving that represents the time. The faster you press
the right button, the more points you'll get. Press the wrong button or too
slowly and you will lose a chance (or life). The buttons are usually A, B, X,
Y, <- and ->.

-------------------------------------
[6.4] QTE Title
-------------------------------------

This game will test you reflexes of QTE again like QTE 2 but slightly
different. It's a boxing-type game where you must quickly press the right
buttons in order to hit it. Try and get the highest score for fun or upload on
the Internet by using Passport Disc.

The left pad is the X button, middle pad will be the A button and right pad
will be the B button. As you progress, the game will be much harderm as you
will have to press two or three buttons quickly or together. Like QTE 2, you
will lose a chance if you lose.

-------------------------------------
[6.5] Hang-On
-------------------------------------

It's located near the entrance of Game YOU (in a motorcycle shape) or you can
get it as the Saturn game when you win the lucky draw. Since it's created years
ago on 1985, don't blame its bad graphics design and controls. To play it,
press the A button and insert your 100 yen.

Controls
--------------
D-pad    - Move left or right
L button - brake
R button - accelerate

Try not to get knocked by items or go off-side the track or it will reduce your
speed a lot. Your objective is to get the end of the track while passing the
check-points which will add 60 seconds to your total time.

When you lose the game, press the L button to change letters and R button to
confirm in order to name yourself. At the main menu, press the B button to
exit.

-------------------------------------
[6.6] Space Harrier
-------------------------------------

You need to pay 100 yen to play this game or either get it again as a Saturn
game from the lucky draw. You will begin with three lives so take care of it!

Controls
--------------
D-pad             - Move up the screen, left, right or down.
A, B, X, Y button - Shoot

You need to shoot your way out from here and kill as many enemies as you can to
gain points. The bosses can be quite easy but it's only the level and enemies
on the way that will give you a problem.

This section is other things to write that are not suitable for other sections.
It's all sorts of things that you may not have known before so explore and
enjoy to gain more knowledge about Shenmue.

-------------------------------------
[7.1] Lucky Draw
-------------------------------------

As you might know, the lucky draw can be found in two shops only, Tomato Mart
and Ah Pu's Shop. But to get better prizes, Tomato Mart is the right choice.
Some people may complain that it's hard to find but it's all patience. To enter
the lucky draw, you must buy one of three items, snack, chocolate or biscuit.
Then, in order to get the item that you want, buy the item a few times and
press the A button when Ryo tries to take the paper.

Tomato Mart in Dobuita
--------------

1st prize: It's a radio! You can choose which to get in three colours,         
                       black, red and grey.

2nd prize: You can only choose one of two Saturn games, Hang-On and            
          Space Harrier.

3rd prize: Four cassettes to hear. One of them being Hang-On.

4th prize: Super Sonic, Mecha Sonic dolls, car vehicle and pink sfera.

5th prize: It's capsule. It contain one of the toys from the scattered
           gotcha-gotcha machines.

Rest of them are to be continued.

I have already have e-mails asking me about certain things. So, to make it more
convenient and easier for me and other players, I include this section. I read
every single mail except for certain time when I am all cooked up with school
and work.

Surprisingly, I've been receiving all answered questions in this section so
please visit www.gamefaqs.com for my latest guide if I update it. One more
thing, I'm really surprised that some of you had actually e-mailed people
listed on my Credits section. I would prefer that you don't e-mail to them as
to fill their Inbox with messages which all can be answered by me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Shenmue?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that you haven't open your eyes wide to the gaming world (just
kidding!). Shenmue is a real masterpiece game created by two intelligent team
and people, Yu Suzuki and AM2. It's the first game in the new genre, FREE
(known as Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment).

Its own special features, such as Time Control, Magic Weather, QTE and Free
Battle is the main things that made this game look realistic, in fact, too real
as if it's straight from television. The breath-taking sounds and cool and
exciting background music waves out from the speakers are definitely the best!

Graphics itself is real, as I have said before, it's the one that adds a lot to
the feel of realism to the game. The millions of polygons appeared on the
screen as well as the nice, sweet and real colours made the game cool.
'Fun-tastic' is the word that I can give to Shenmue.

Nevertheless, it's the game that you want to play, buy and own. First answer to
first question is completed.

I can't get past certain parts of the game.
