I am sorry. I have been going really slow on
this I know, but I have no times to work on
this during weekdays so I only get ot do it
on weekends if that. But in order to motivate
myself, I have forbidden myself from starting
Halo 2, or continuing GTA: San Andreas until
completion of this guide. I think that will
work. Also I got my first complaint e-mail,
about how I'm not even halfway through this
guide. I won't say who sent it. But it did
light my determination to complete this guide.

on something simple, At least I hope its simple. I’m
trying my best so hopefully this goes okay.
I am a big fan of InuYasha and when I saw that
there were no FAQs on it yet I figured I'd do
the first.

IYST II.{{{{-----Storyline/ Summary------}}}}

======================================================
*Here is the instruction booklet version:
"You have been diligently preparing for the upcoming
doll festival, but as you enter the storeroom to get
some festival items, you accidently step on a
magical symbol and fall through the floor into a
mysterious light.
You awaken in the middle of a thick forest. Your
surroundings are unfamiliar, with no buildings or
landmarks to recognise. Lost, and with no idea where
to go, you set out...
You meet Inuyasha, a demon with dog ears and white
hair who is dressed in strange clothes. He seems to
know that you have come here from 'modern times.' He
knows of another girl, Kagome, with the same story.
It is time to begin your journey with Inuyasha and
Kagome, to find a way back to the present day."
*My version:
In InuYasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask you play
a Japanese school boy/girl who is transported to
the time of Feudal Japan. After meeting the
half-demon, Inuyasha, you team up with him and his
group to try and find away home. But is there
actually a reason you were brought to Feudal Japan?
======================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IYWT III.{{{{-----Walkthrough------}}}}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
======================================================
!*!This walkthrough is for the boy character. Because
from what I've seen the two are exactly the same. I
will go through the game as both characters to get
the scripts so if there are any major differences I
will post them.*
!*!If you just want to progress through the game
without jumping to every demonic aura (purple
clouds) and without getting all the items, I
will mark things you can skip with a "-*-" at the
beggining and end of the paragraph. But it you
want to get all the items and etc. Then read
everything if you want, as I will point out
every item I have found and all the Demonic
Auras.*
!*!Special notes will be marked with a "!*!."
When you start out the game there will be
an anime cut scene starting with your
character being clued in on all the
recent happenings at school. Its pretty
much the same scene for both characters
maybe with some different dialogue.
When your character gets off the bus
they will be asked to go to a storehouse
on the family shrine to get some
supplies for a festival. The floor will
break and your character will try to get
up causing them to fall into a time slip.
This is where the game starts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IWTK ---1. Beginning (To Kaede's Village---
and battle tutorial)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enemies: Canis Demon, Bad Luck Bat, Ghost
Bosses: None
Items: Medicinal Herb x2
Key Items: None
Party Status: Inuyasha joins.
Objective: Meet Inuyasha, get to know battle mechanics, get to
Kaede's Village
After Kururugi comes to he will begin
to call for help to no avail. Once hes
finished. You have to move to the next
place to progress. Right or left? They
both go to the same place so it doesnt
matter.
After that painful decision Kururugi
will try calling home with no luck
either. Head left to the next place.
Some people! Yay!! They can help!...
Nope they seem to have mistaken you
for a demon... Kururugi will run to
the next area.
Just when you think it's safe to go back
in the forests.A demon, who looks something
like my ex, attacks you and threatens to eat
you. Right when he attacks Kururugiglows and
a blinding light appears.
When he comes to, Inuyasha the half-demon. Will
be standing over Kururugi. After confusing him
with talk of 'the present', he will mention that
Kaede's village is nearby and that Kagome should
be there and can explain things. He says to
follow him and the two move to the next area.
!*!Two things you need to know to survive in this
game.
1. Purple Clouds are Demonic Auras which have
demons ready to fight. Demonic Auras are
randomized!!! I did not know this before.
2.White glowing orbs are items!
3.Throughout the course of the game, after
battles sometimes you'll get a message from Myoga
the Flea. He mentions your fortunes and things
like that. Your fortune is basically your chance
of getting a preemptive attack and dealing
critical damage. If your luck is "like heaven on
earth" then expect to deal many critical blows
and be the first to attack. If it means "much
chaos is ahead" then expect to be ambushed alot...
and don't expect alot of critical attacks.
About halfway down the path in the next area.
Inuyasha will stop in front of purple cloud.
He mentions that the smell of demons is coming
from it. Then suggests they face them. Walk
towards it to start your first battle!

break.

IWBT *---(Battle Tutorial)---
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-*-Since this game doesn't really have an in game
battle tutorial I'll have to aquaint you with
the battle system you'll come to know very well.
-*-When the battle starts either the enemy or your
party will attack first. You can some times tell
who will attack first by what your party says at
the begginging of the battle. For example, if
someone says; "Looks like the enemy hasn't caught
on yet.", It means you get to attack first with
your entire party. If they say; "Watch out, a
surprise attack!", then the enemy party attacks
first.
-*-When it is your turn the side menu will pop up.
You can choose; Battle, Tech, Items, Defend, or
Run Away. You only get one action per turn so
choose wisely.
Battle: This is just using your characters basic
attack. It does a pretty good amount of damage.
Especially with Inuyasha.
Tech: This can get complicated. I will seperate
this into three parts.
Norm Tech:
Using no energy whatsoever, attack enemies with
various attacks with different effects.
SP Tech:
This is where energy comes into play. These
attacks range from uber strong. To incredibly
useful.
*Always remember when using these attacks to pay
attention to the turn order in the top right hand
corner.
Co-op Tech:
Combinign the strength of two party members,
unleash devastating attacks on opponents.
These can be pretty complicated, but only if
you let them be. EX. If you want to attack
with Kagome and Sango. Say the attack order
goes like this: Kagome; Inuyasha, Sango, enemy.
On Kagome's turn choose your co-op attack with
Sango. Kagome will pass her turn and it will be
Inuyasha's. Inuyasha attacks like he would
normally adn it is now Sango's turn. Sango will
say something to Kagome and Kagome will
acknowledge her. Then an anime scene plays and
the two attack. But if the turn order goes
something like: Kagome, Inuyasha, Kururugi,
Shippo, Enemy, Miroku, Enemy, Enemy, Sango;
then don't even bother trying to do the
attack. It's just not worth wasting the turn.
Items
Items are used in battleto temporarialy rise
stats or to recover health and energy. In the
course of the game you will come to rely on
items, so don't take them for granted.
Defend:
Give up taking action to raise you defense till
your next turn.
Run Away:
You wuss!!! Naw just kidding I do it too. If you
just don't want to battle then try running. It
doesn't always work through.
!*! Warning: This may trigger a glitch! See the
glitches section for details.
-*-If you need a more detailed guide for battling
contact me using the info given in the Contact
Info section.
-*-(END)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
----Back to Walkthrough---
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!*!There are random battles in this game so
don't think that by avoiding the clouds you
won't have to battle!
The first battle will be against a "Canis Demon"
and a "Bad Luck Bat". Both are pretty weak demons
even at this point in the game. The Bad Luck Bats
can poison though so watch out. One attack from
Inuyasha should take care of the "Canis Demon",
same goes for the Bad Luck Bat. EASY WIN! EASY
WIN! Once the battle is over, the last person
to attack will comment and you wil gain your
experience. Inuyasha should level up to level 2
and learn Iron Reaver S. S. (Iron Reaver Soul
Stealer). Your first Technique! You also should
find a "Medicinal Herb" one of the items that
replenishes health in and out of battle.
After the battle Inuyasha will ask why Kururugi
didn't use the power from earlier. Myoga will
show up and try to explain the whole thing which
only confuses Kururugi. All that can be done is
to go to Kaede's Village and find out. Head left
to the next area.
There are two demonic auras in the next area.
-*-Head south in order to find a "Medicinal
Herb". Its at the bottom edge of the
clearing in the middle. Looks for a sparkly
white orb.
Head North to continue.
The next area is a hooked narrow path that can
be hard to see at times. Because it will go
through the trees. There is one Aura and one item.
-*-There is "Medicinal Herb near the tree on
the right side of the path.
Travel along the path curving to the right at
the top of the screen. Even though you can't
see Kururugi, keep heading right to the next
area.
The next stretch of path doesn't contain any
clouds or items to just move along to the map.
Once you see the map you should be at Kaede's
Village. Here are some things you need to know
about the map.
1.Exclamation Marks: Mark places where an event
that is needed to progress the story is waiting.
2.Question Marks: Mark places where a sub-event
is waiting. These events are not needed to
progress the story, but they may have rare items
or are just entertaining and fun. If there is
more than one sub-event on hte map at a time
then all sub-events will dissapear after you
have completed one of the ones on the map.
3. You can only visit a place on the map if there
is a white dotted line connecting you to it.
Since Kaede's village is the only place activated
at the start you do not need the dotted line you
can just go there.
4.Pressing Triangle on the map will bring you to
the log records screen there you can save your
game.
At this point press triangle to save your game
and press X to enter Kaede's Village.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IWKV ---2. Kaede's Village---
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enemies: None
Bosses: None
Items: None
Key Items: None
Party Status: Kagome joins, Shippo joins.
Objectives: Add Kagome to party, try to go back home through
the well, add Shippo to party, visit Kaede, look for info
in village, stop by well again, get to know the shop system,
leave to Akebi Village.
Upon entering the village, You will meet Kagome!
Congratulations a new party member. Through talking
to Kagome, Kururugi learns that he is in the Feudal
era. Also that there is a well that can take him back
to his time. Time to investigate!!!
Opposite of where you first entered the village is a
shop keeper. Remember that. Because you don't really
need to shop until a few minutes from now when you're
practically forced to. From here on in I will post the
items and prices of all the shops in the game. WEEE!!!
Once you've finished shopping head east from this point.
You will be in the path around a crop feild. Talk to the
old man closest to you. He is a Farmer who gaurds the
"Mysterious Feild". From here on when you find a seed or
fertilizer, return to Kaede's Village and plant it with
the farmer. After a while an item will grow. In the
future I will have the recipes for seeds.
Now head east and north at the corner.
!*! It's a good idea to talk to the villagers in each
village. Some of them provide information on rare
hidden items nearby or have something witty to say.
In the next area head straight north....obviously.
The well is in the next section. Here Kururugi tries
jumping in to get home but to no avail. Kagome mentions
that Kaede helped her when she was first teleported to
Feudal Japan. So.. off to see the priestess!! The
wonderful Priestess of... er....forget it.
Head back to the village entrance. YOu'll know its the
entrance when you see the name of the location at the
top left hand corner of the screen.
!*! From here on in I'd recomend exiting to the map and
saving each time you regain control of your character.
Head west from here. Up and west. Kururugi will stop in
front of the hut and... Another Kagome pops out!! Ahh!!
Attack of the clones!!! Wait....... TWINS!!! Oh boy! Er
Don't mind me. Anyways it turns out to be Shippo who is
now in your party. Into Kaede's house!
After meeting Kaede and telling her your story. You'll
find out she's no help whatsoever. Kaede says to stay
with Inuyasha just incase. Kagome says that maybe a
villager will have a clue. Time to go check it out.
When you leave Kaede's house. Talk to the woman who is
sweeping and the man next to her. Then go into the
house west Of Kaedes house. Talk to the people in there.
Exit the house and go north around the corner from
Kaede's house. Talk to the stupid chicken, then the
Salesman, and pretty much everyone else in the area.
Also talk to the people in the house. Then move east from
the Chicken area and there will be a tree with a guy in
front of it. Talk to him then the lady in the house. She
says something about her kids being gone. Incase you were
wondering they're goofing off by the Bone-Eater's Well...
Now return to the area with Kaede's House. Inuyasha pretty
much gives up and the gang try to get information from
Kururugi on anything distinctive in the area where he awoke.
Kururugi doesn't really say anything though. Head to the
well again to continue.
Inuyasha again questions Kururugi about his coming to.
Kururugi mentions the villagers that were after him. Maybe
they know something... Let's check it out!
You are now on your way to Akebi Village; the nearest village
from here. However in order to continue you have to visit the
shop. Kagome and the others aquaint you with the shops in the
game. It may be a good I dea to buy some Medicinal Herbs. Just
incase.
!*! One thing about this game is you can't sell your items. So
if you need cash you'll have to go battle some demons. Also
be careful when buying things and don't buy something you
don't want because there are no refunds!
Kaede's Village Shopkeeper
Medicinal Herb 70
Antidote 160
Silver Bell 130
Sacred Tree Dew 700
Bracken 25
You should have about 500 Moneys. But then again. I went
through all the Demonic Auras... If you want to be
prepared I recommend getting some Silver Bells and
Antidotes... maybe some Medicinal Herbs too.
Now, exit to the map. Now would be a very good time to save.
Afterwards head North to "Road to Akebi". You will need to
pass through many roads and passes to get to most areas. So
get used to this...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IWRA ---3. Road to Akebi---
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enemies: Canis Demon, Bad Luck Bat, Ghost
Bosses: None
Items: Sacred Tree Dew, Protection Gem
Key Items: None
Party Status: Complete
Objectives: Get to Akebi Village.
Upon entering the Road to Akebi there is a sign right ahead
of you that reads; "Watch out for demons on the road to
Akebi Village!" I think this is an attempt to scare you.
Don't be scurred. Continue ahead around the bend curving
North.
In the next area there are two Demonic Auras and no items.
Skip the path that leads to the right because it leads to a
dead end with no items. Just go straight to the next area.
This next area has one Aura which you'll have to walk
through. Of course sometimes you get lucky and won't get
attacked. No items.
Head right to the next area. Which is a curved path again
heading North. There are two Demonic auras.
Continue to the next section. This one has a Sacred Tree
Dew that is placed very obviousy in the center of the path.
Continue North-west to the next area.
This next area is a right angle. It has one Item and 2 Auras.
