Onimusha 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 04)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Onimusha 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 04).

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.
