Onimusha 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 06)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Onimusha 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 06).

Chapter 1-2: Meeting Takajo

Takajo will explain who had wrong Jubei and destroyed Yagyu village, but Jubei is at
first disbelieving. Later we discover that more happened then we are shown. Takajo
explains the legend of the Oni and the purpose of the 5 Orbs. Jubei learns that it is his
destiny to stop the demons, as one with the blood of the Oni.

Now that you have the Charity Orb you can absorb souls, by holding Circle, but after the
scene with Takajo there is a chest with an herb. Turn around and proceed to leave the
same way you came, but this time the corridor cave will contain some bad guys. So
prepare to battle, and don't forget to absorb souls. As you exit the cave and pass the
stepping-stones, take Jubei's right (opposite direction of first Herb). You can catch the
frog if you please, but since this is Oyu's Walkthrough, it really isn't important. As you
continue through this direction you will find a little shrine…show your identity.

Chapter 1-3: A New Power

Jubei is now blessed with the Thunder Sword Buraitou, his new power. Nice little scene
as he swings it around and promises to get revenge on Nobunaga.

Now the narrator tells of a short historical background for Imasho Town.

Chapter 1-4: Meeting Oyu

To me it was rather amusing when they show the man dying after he has found gold.
Jubei walks in and witness a few guys pick on Oyu. As Oyu defends herself, Jubei comes
to her rescue. The guys ignore Oyu and she walks off [note I have Oyu's alternative
costume, man its weird] and Jubei is left to deal with the men.

Imasho Town:

First let's visit the friendly store [second door on the right, first being the bar], remember
this is a walk through for Oyu designed just to get the majority of her scenarios, so we are
only going to buy a few select items. The 1,000 Gold you have should be sufficient. You
can get the White Necklace from the storeowner, for directions go to the NECKLACES
section. Now at the store we want; The Egg, Plant Book, and the Wonder Flower total
cost 450 Gold. You can buy Artwork #16 if you are attempting to collect all the
Artworks, but in order to get the others that are held by characters you must trade with
them. I won't go into detail on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of
lowering your Friendship with Oyu. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see
more on the Artworks.

Now for our chase after Oyu, leave the store and follow the path to the end where there is
a big doorway, before entering you can get the Imasho Town map on the right of the
door. Enter it to get yourself your Bow. First break the barrels that block the way to the
elevator [right of doorway], and then return to the start [left of doorway] there is a switch.
Hit it, run all the way back to the elevator and board it to the top floor to get your bow.
Head back out and take left path to find the Gold Mine pathway.

This is straight forward, just run up the stairs killing monsters as you go. Try practicing
some Issens; they produce more souls, which are vital to upgrading your equipment. You
see a chest along the path, get the telescope from within, you will use it go get something
nice for Oyu. Once you reach the top of the stairs you will encounter a goofy guy who
won't let you pass without a permit. So was this all in vain? Course not.

Back track down the pathway, back to the Imasho Town, and this time enter the bar.

Chapter 1-5: Meeting Ekei and Magoichi

As you enter the bar, you will see a spear cross you and a stranger path and cut the
vase/bottle in half. Magoichi is introduced by another angry stranger, and after a few
offensive comments, a battle is initiated. Who are these strangers? Well watch the cinema
and then Jubei will stop the petty fighting and introduce both characters.

After the cinema you should now be able to exchange gifts, but don't worry since you
want Oyu's friendship to be high. You can now travel into the bar and talk to the guy that
is leaning against the door in the top of the screen. Buy a permit from him for 100 Gold.
You should have enough.

Back track back up the pathway, and make sure to kill some more monsters. You want to
be able to upgrade your equipment soon. As you get to the top, proceed and Jubei will
show the permit, oh and just ignore the chest, it isn't required for Oyu. Walk towards the
entrance to the Gold Mine and a cinema will start where some guys are scared. They will
tell you they saw Oyu walking deeper into the Gold Mine.

Once in the cave, you will see a fork in the road. Take the left path first so you can get
yourself a Demon Wall Scroll and a chest with a puzzle.

The answer to the puzzle is: 4 and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the
PUZZLES section]

Inside you should find the Buraitou Secret, a special attack for your new sword. Walk
back to the fork in the road and proceed to the right. Follow the path and open the chest
along the way to get the Gold Mine Map. As you keep going through the linear path, you
can find nuggets of gold lying around.

Chapter 2-1: Eerie Monsters

As you keep walking, a cinema will start where red eyes catch Jubei's attention. Watch
the new enemies spawn and get ready to kick some monster butt, oh and a perfect time to
practice your new Buraitou Secret [up, down + square].

Keep walking till you come to another fork in the road. This time take the left, and as you
enter a red force field should appear behind you. Kill the 4 monsters.

Chapter 2-2-3: Ekei Helps Jubei

After you killed the monsters and absorbed their souls, Ekei will run in and kill a
monster. He yells at Magoichi for not doing anything and then begins to help you battle
the Monsters. Pretty straightforward, just kill the monsters.

Chapter 2-3-3: A Missing Baby (For Ekei)

A miner will run in and request your help, the monsters kidnapped his daughter and Ekei
offers to help. Ekei runs along with the Miner and Magoichi comments, and then you
return to your game.

Walk into the now accessible path. Inside you can get the Five Oni Orbs scroll and the ice
lance Hyoujin-Yari, you can decide which weapon to use, and both are great starter
weapons. Now you must return to the fork in the road before you got trapped in this room
this time take the left path.

Chapter 2-4-2: Dreams of Men

Again Magoichi and Ekei are at it again. Fighting over such small things. Ekei explains
how Magoichi makes fun of his dreams. "I laughed because it is silly." Magoichi makes a
comment about a "vengeful ghost" and walks off Ekei of course follows.

With control of Jubei again, step forward and you will find your first Mozun. Just equip
the Hyoujin-Yari and take a whack it. It should explode in a cinema. Now walk forward
make sure you pick up the medicine within the chest. You will find a magic mirror, use it
to save your game, upgrade your equipment, and make sure to make it useful since you
will be facing a boss. On the right of the magic mirror you can put the Charity Orb, once
you put it in the wall will collapse in a cinema. Ready? If so, enter.

Chapter 2-5: Meeting Ginghamphatts

Well here is Boss #1, Ginghamphatts. What a weird name, don't you think so too? Well
of course like all demons, he is cocky and will give you a lecture about your humanity.
Get ready to smack him around.

Check the BOSSES section for my advice.

After you have defeated Ginghamphatts, absorb his souls and run into the next area.
There is a guy lying on the floor, don't talk to him just yet. Walk past him into the next
room and get yourself some Gold, the Mirror, and behind the crates there is a chest.

The answer to the puzzle is: 5, 3, 6 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the
PUZZLES section]

Inside the puzzle you should find the Hyoujin-Yari Secret. Now walk back out and talk to
the man on the floor.

Chapter 2-6: The Exhausted Factory Owner

You will return to the second floor of the Bar, the old man will give you some
information on the demons and then tell you that Oyu was taking deeper into the cave. He
will give you a Red Ring and tell you he found it inside the Gold Mine. He will rise up,
thank you again and leave.

We got Jubei back, run to the treasure chest and get your Folding Fan. You will notice
someone in the front of the screen lying down IGNORE HIM! Now you want to head
down the stairs and back into the store. If you want to get the White Necklace from the
storeowner, refer to the NECKLACES section, I am only guiding you to get the majority
of Oyu's scenario. You can also get the ball rolling on the Orange Necklace this time
around; again refer to the NECKLACES section. At the store buy the following, Hair
Ornament, Silver Armor, Red Parrot, and the Love Potion total cost 2100. You can buy
Artwork #17 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to get the
others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail on that
in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship with
Oyu. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks.

Leave the store and head back towards the Gold Mine. Along the pathway to the Mine,
you will see a cinema introducing a new monster. These monsters aren't that hard. Hack
and slash and get some precious souls. At the Gold Mine, there is really nothing new
except for all new monsters, just run all the way back to where you found the Factory
Owner. Along the way there will be a battle where some tough monsters pick on you, but
Magoichi will be present to help you out.

Once you get back to where you found the Factory Owner, go up to the odd shape on the
floor and use the Red Ring. A light path should open up and you should enter it. When
you get down, you will walk towards a door and a cinema will start where some monsters
bad talk you. Two monsters will appear first one then when you kill it the other, just
dispose of them and head into the unsealed door.

In the room with the twisted stairwell, before you go up it you can find the Crystal Ball
on the left side of screen. Now head up it, at the very top there will be a monster swing
his sword. Just rid the world of him and head out. You are now in front of Gifu Castle a
cinema will show it off (Ibayama in Onimusha Warlords), so now just go up to the door.

Chapter 2-10-2: Magoichi Talks about Ekei

Magoichi will kill a monster and then jump into the screen. He will tell you a little about
Ekei's dreams and how they are stupid. Then he tells you why Jubei is a "vengeful ghost"
since when Nobunaga is destroyed, another will take his place. "It never ends."

Once you get Jubei back, enter the door. Some archers and monsters will be pesky, rid
them, get the two treasure chests containing the Gifu Keep Tower Map and Incenses, and
then enter the door on the left, not the big doors. Here you will find a number puzzle.
They are rather simple.

The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 8, 2, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to
the PUZZLES section]

You will get the Bronze Mask (right). Take it and go back into the main room, prepare
for some more pesky demons. After their souls are drained enter the big doors. In this
room Ekei will be fighting some enemies; you can either help Ekei or just leave by going
out the doors you had just walked through. I recommend you leave, this will lower your
friendship with Ekei and will allow you to attain Chapter 10-1-2: Ekei's Last Moment in
this game. Back into the room take the Herb from the treasure case and proceed through
the unlocked door. Here you will find another puzzle box.

The answer to the puzzle is: 4, 2, and 8. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the
PUZZLES section]

You should get a Power Jewel, so just use it when you want. Head into the next set of
doors and you will come across a doorway with a blue alter on it. Examine it, then use
your Bronze Mask (right) but you will notice that you can't just yet open the door.
Proceed on, careful with these monsters, they are tough, and in the next room ignore the
chest and enter the door under the stairwell. A man will tell you he has something for
you, but the evil energy won't let him, so he asks you find the Purify Charm. Behind him
is the Demon's History. After exiting the room, head up the stairwell. Ekei will come in
and help you fight the monsters.

Chapter 2-11: The Digger's Baby is Found

Once the monsters are gone, the baby will begin to cry and the Miner will run in. You
have just rescued the Miner's baby. Ekei will have a flash back of his child and snatch the
Miner's baby. Ekei will explain his history a little and he begins to cry, kudos on the tears
Capcom, kudos.

After the scene, you can leave through the only useable door. Here you will find yourself
with a few archers, so just kill the archers and proceed into the next door. In the next
room, there is an herb in the chest, the Earth Mozun, and the Purify Charm on the table
sparkling. Take the herb and the Purify Charm and head back to the room under the
stairwell.

Once you are there, give the man the Purify Charm, he will be grateful and leave
something sparkling. Lift the Bronze Mask (left) and head back to where you first put the
Bronze Mask (right). Remember, as you walk there is a magic mirror, save, enhance your
equipment, so just be ready.

Chapter 3-1: Meeting Tokichiro

A cinema should start with Tokichiro's funny laugh. Tokichiro will assault Oyu, and then
Jubei comes in and orders Oyu to leave. Tokichiro summons some monsters, and Jubei is
left to defeat them as Oyu escapes.

After you defeat the monsters, head back, and get an herb in the chest. Now proceed into
the unsealed doors.

Chapter 3-2: Gogandantess Battle 1

Meet Gogandantess, the Greatest Swordsman of all Demons. Gogandantess will
introduce himself and then challenge Jubei. You can't win this fight, so just keep yourself
on your toes. Block, dodge, and try not to use cure items.

Chapter 3-3: Oyu Assists Jubei

After some time Oyu will come and rescue you, Gogandantess will call you a coward and
leave.

Just follow the path; there isn't anywhere to go. Once you get outside examine the big
metal orb.

Chapter 3-5: Borrow the "Faith" Orb

A cinema will start where Jubei asks Oyu for the Orb she wears around her neck. Oyu
will hand it over, examine the Metal Orb again and now insert the Faith Orb.

Chapter 3-6: Ride an Iron Horse

Jubei will tell Oyu to get on the Iron Horse, and they both ride it over Gifu Castle's walls.
Ride off into the sunrise and back to Imasho Town.

Chapter 3-7: Obtain the "Faith" Orb

Once in Imasho Town, Oyu will introduce herself and tell her story of why she was in
Gifu Castle. She also tells a little bit of her background and Jubei of his. Right off the bat
you can see some attraction that Oyu has for Jubei.

Once you gain control of Jubei, walk towards the bar, just ignore the treasure chest.

Chapter 3-8-2: Meeting Kotaro 3

As you walk away a voice will call after you. A cinema will show Jubei walk back and
meet Kotaro. Kotaro explains his distrust for Oyu and then runs off saying he will prove
it.

Head back to the store, Pocket Watch, Phirangi, and the Pair Ring total cost 4300 Gold.
You can buy Artwork #18 if you are attempting to collect all the Artworks, but in order to
get the others that are held by characters you must trade with them. I won't go into detail
on that in this guide, since I don't want to ruin the chances of lowering your Friendship
with Oyu. Check the SEARCHING ITEMS sections to see more on the Artworks. If you
chose to follow how to get the Orange and White Necklace, by referring to the
NECKLACES section, then talk to the store owner again and look for the man's father
who gave you the chalk, if you didn't do any of this just go to bar. At the bar go talk to
the man that is standing where the man who sold you the permit was. Buy the Black Beer
from him and head upstairs. Note, this will be the only time you trade with anyone other
then Oyu if you didn't do the Necklaces, so give Kotaro the Telescope, take the Strategy
Book to Magoichi downstairs, and get yourself some nice Hard Boots. After that run
upstairs again and head out the balcony. Oyu should be there, so start giving her the items
we specified. Notice as you give her them, she will get all happy and smile. Here are the
items you should have; Silver Armor, Phirangi, Hair Ornament, Red Parrot, Black Beer,
Crystal Ball, Folding Fan, Love Potion, Hard Boots, Plant Book, Pair Ring, Incenses,
Pocket Watch, and the Mirror. She will then return; Buraitou Tech.1, Hyoujin-Yari Tech
1, Medicine, Normal Bullet, History Book vol.3, Sake from Kaga, Chinese Fiddle,
Medicine, Secret Medicine, Herb, Normal Bullet, Fire Arrow, Herb, and more Normal
Bullet. Note your egg should of hatched by now, keep the chicken, let it lay a brown egg,
which will hatch and lay a gold egg which will hatch too.

After trading with her, these items should guarantee that Oyu will be the Story Character
and the Majority of her scenarios will open up, remember not to trade with others, you
don't want to jinx yourself. Note, read the HOW TO USE MY WALKTHROUGHS of
the WALKTHROUGHS section for better understand.

Head out of the bar and into the market, there should be someone holding a rather weird
umbrella so go up to her.

Chapter 4-1: Meeting Jujudormah

This ugly demon thinks she is the hottest thing alive. She tells you of her love for
Nobunaga and how she will stop Jubei and Takajo. So the chase is on, Jujudormah is
after Takajo, and Jubei rushes back to Yagyu Village to protect her.

Yagyu Village 2

Welcome back to Yagyu Village. This is again straightforward. Take control of Jubei and
head to where you first met Takajo, but along the way…

Chapter 4-2-1: Oyu Helps Jubei

As soon as you cross the bridge a cinema will start where Kotaro is standing on top of the
shed watching. As a monster swings to attack Jubei, Oyu appears and deflects it. She then
tells Jubei to go to Takajo, BUT!!! NEVER EVER leave Oyu alone during battles. Since
she is your major character, leaving her will lower your friendship with her, so stay and
fight till all the monsters are dead; this will help your friendship.

After you killed the monsters go to Takajo. Cross the stepping-stones, go through the
corridor cave and come out where Takajo gave you the Charity Orb.

Chapter 4-4: Takajo's End

You made it just in time to see Jujudormah kill Takajo. Jubei goes to Takajo and holds
her as her dying breaths are used up.

Chapter 4-5: Mother & Father

Oyu walks in and asks what is wrong. Jubei explains that when he first met Takajo, she
explained to him how she met his father and fell instantly in love.

Chapter 4-6: The Oath

Takajo reminds Jubei of his destiny and importance. Jubei now even angrier and is so set
on destroying Nobunaga. Jubei is half Oni, there for it is his destiny to stop the demons.

After the Cinema pick up the sparkling item, Ring of Takajo, and now you have to return
to where you started. Back track through the corridor cave, over the stepping-stones, but
you will notice Kotaro. If you wish talk to him just don't trade him anything, because it
might change the game. Walk past the bridge, killing all the monsters allowing the way
for their souls. Once you are back at where you started, go into the door.

Once you are in the house, travel straight, hop onto the next level, and whack at the
screen door. Inside the chest is the Abacus, now hop off and turn to the next level, hop on
and kill the monsters. Run to the end of the corridor to find a puzzle box.

The answer to the puzzle is: 2 and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the
PUZZLES section]

You should get a Power Jewel use it when you want. Travel back and knock down the
screen doors. You should be able to see a chest, go to it and inside there is a
Kaleidoscope. Now run into the room that was exposed by you slashing at the screen
doors. There are two paths to go, one away from the camera and another towards it. Head
towards the camera first and follow the u-turn path. Artwork #10 should be on a shelf, at
the end of the u-turn path hack at the wall to expose a little secret Jubei never knew
about, and inside collect half of the Four Guardians Art. Now head to the other path, the
one that was away from the camera, and break the barrel that is blocking the Fork in the
treasure chest, after getting the Fork, leave through the only path.

Chapter 5-2: Jubei and Oyu Talk by Fireside

Entering the room will start a cinema where Jubei and Oyu talk about Jubei's mother.
Oyu is concerned in how Jubei still considers Takajo to be his mother. Oyu then asks if it
is still the same if they are not blood related, and Jubei gets confused. Oyu walks out.

Take Jubei out the door and all the way down the green grass path, at the end search for
the Wasabi. Hop on the ledge and hack at the screen doors. Take the second half of the
map from the chest and hack at the next set of screen doors. Inside the chest take the
Oolong Tea.

Now return back to where you and Oyu where talking and examine the Drawer like
object. It is saying an object is missing, use Ring of Takajo to unveil a puzzle. To solve
the puzzle hit start, go to File, to the sub-menu PICTURE, and examine the Four
Guardians Art. The answer is [Left] point it to white, [top] point it to black, [right] point
it to blue, and [bottom] point it to red. As the machine reacts a stairwell should appear.
Travel down it.

In the underground cave, as you are walking you notice that the floor shakes. Jubei jumps
off before the floor gives ways and reveals a deadly set of spikes. Just push the
directional button towards the spikes and Jubei will jump and grab on to the ledge. Push
up and he will climb up. As you proceed you will see lots of ropes, cut them and a big
spike will come down in a cinema. When you get control of Jubei, quickly hit R2 and run
back to the spikes, jump across, if you are daring get up on the ledge and then jump
across and wait till the spike goes over you. If you are not daring, after jumping across
the first time, the spike is chasing you, just wait till it passes over you, when it does push
up and then jump across. Follow the path to the exit, and you will find yourself in Fog
Valley.

Ignore the chests and just move forward. Kill all the monsters that get in your way, and as
you pass another Mozun, ignore it since you don't have the right magic yet. Once you
pass all three ladders, you are at a bridge. Oyu will pop up to help so you must stay and
kill the monsters with her. After the monsters are all dead go and trade with her. Give her
the following; Abacus, Fork, Kaleidoscope, Oolong Tea, and the Wasabi. Oyu will then
return; Playing Cards, Normal Bullet, Fire Arrow, Crown, and Fire Arrow. After you
have finished trading with her continue along the path. Two treasure chests lay ahead,
one with the Fog Valley Map and another with an herb.

From the Wind Shrine get your Senpumaru and back track to where you saw the Mozun.
Across the bridge, down the ladder, down the second ladder, and there it should be. Use
the Senpumaru to get Nobunaga's Knowledge. As you are walking back, you will
encounter Oyu again in the bridge. Make sure to kill all the monsters, when they are dead
you can talk to Oyu to get an herb.

Once you are back to where you got the Senpumaru, save it and enhance your weapons
since you will have to head into the Forest Maze. There are monsters along the way so
kill them and gather some souls. After the first straight area, you will come to a fork with
a little floating bug demon. Will it quickly, for they disappear. After you kill it a cinema
will make the fork turn into a straight path. Follow it, again more monsters, and again a
fork, this time the little bug guy got protection. Quickly dispose of the back up or just aim
for the bug guy, killing him will return the fork to a straight path and eliminate all the
monsters. Go into the new area, another straight path with monsters, keep going, another
fork with the bug guy and monsters. Same as before, this time as it turns into one path,
follow it and…

Chapter 5-5: Jujudormah and Ginghamphatts

Jujudormah should appear laughing at you as she threats you. She is about ready to duel
you when Ginghamphatts appears Ginghamphatts and Jujudormah argue like siblings and
Ginghamphatts gets the honor of fighting you. Say hello to boss #2.

Check the BOSSES section for my advice.

After killing Ginghamphatts you get Nobunaga's Rein, just exit and you will find
yourself at the pond with the magic mirror. Take the left pathway to find Oyu, but don't
talk to her yet. Go around her to the Mozun and dispose of it and get the third statue
Nobunaga's Dignity, go and save you game before talking to Oyu. Once you are ready
for the challenge, go and talk to Oyu.

Chapter 5-7-1: Fencing Lessons for Oyu

She will ask you for a Fencing Lesson, say yes. It is rather tricky since I only did it once.
From what I can collect, when she is attacking do everything in your power to evade and
not get hit, oh also when she charges her weapon the attack is unblockable so get out of
the way. When it is your turn to attack, hit her until she collapses, but then don't hit her
till she gets back up. Repeat this till the lesson is over, if you succeed you will get a tech
book, if not, then she will be angry and you get nothing. Reload your save if you want to
attempt it again.

After doing the lesson, if you got your tech book congratulations I did it also and got the
Senpumaru Tech 1 book, go back to the magic mirror located by the pond. Don't go in
direction that is the opposite of the pond since it is a dead end. At the pond, cross it and
enter the door. On the side towards the camera, Jubei's left, is a puzzle box.

The answer to the puzzle is: 9 and 5. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the
PUZZLES section]

You should get Senpumaru Secret. After the puzzle go into the room with the spikes and
examine the middle. You should be asked if you want to pull a lever, pull it and quickly
an image will flash. It is an image of the three Nobunaga statues you have. Memorize the
image, order of statues, and then place the statues in the same order to proceed.

My game: Order Nobunaga's Knowledge, Nobunaga's Dignity, and Nobunaga's Rein.

After the doors open run through and get ready for some monster bashing. Remember if
Oyu shows up you can't leave until all the monsters are dealt with. Enter the door and kill
the monster blocking the door. Near the Magic mirror is Jujudormah's Diary, at the
magic mirror enhance and save since…

Chapter 5-9: A Last Kiss of Jujudormah

Jujudormah will be sweating a picture of Nobunaga. Jubei offends her and she gets angry.

Check the BOSSES section for my advice.

After you slay the beast Jujudormah, you will get the Honesty Orb, and now you should
see a red switch. Hit it and the wall will open up. Follow the path; open the chest to get
an herb, then run to run because soon afterwards the cave will fill with poisonous gas.

Chapter 5-10: Jump Over a Cliff

When you get to the end of the cliff, you will watch a cinema of Jubei jump off into the
water. The cinema looks pretty nice.

In the underwater cave, you will find a chest with the Oni's Sacred Place. Save and then
go examine the other pool of water. Put in the Orb of Honesty in to move forward.

Chapter 5-11: To Oni's Sacred Place

A cool cinema shows Jubei going to the Oni Sacred Place. I like how he almost falls off.
Then Gogandantess shows up for, with the cool quote: "Your eyes betray you. That you
are thrilled to see a warrior greater then you."

Chapter 6-1: Gogandantess Battle 2

Once again you can't defeat him. So I recommend you try to conserve your energy and
cure items. Try to dodge and attack when you can. Don't be scared of using your magic,
since it will get restored after the battle. After some time, Gogandantess will tell you
Odani Castle will fall and then head off. Oyu will come to your aid and will go ahead of
Jubei.

Chapter 6-2: Takajo's Advice

As Oyu enters the Oni Sacred Place, Takajo will appear in front of her. Takajo will thank
Oyu for helping Jubei in his time of need and will then tell Oyu how to find the Sacred
Flute, so that Jubei can defeat Gogandantess.

Now that you got control of Oyu, head around the object in the middle [earth shrine] and
behind it to a staircase next to the magic mirror. Head down it and up the other side, you
should be careful because as you walk along the path two monsters will come up and
attack you. Since Oyu has her level 3 charge, you should use it on them and they should
fall easily. Run and get the Key Plate. With it, you can now return to where you met
Takajo and use it on the Earth Shrine to unlock the doors.

Kill all the monsters that get in your way, use Oyu's magic since it allows you to release
souls of monsters with simple attacks. You don't have to kill them. This is great to get
some extra souls and restore life when you are low.

You should must to the path on the right of the Earth Shrine, since the other is a dead
end. As you enter the first corridor, get ready to fight some monsters from here till the
end, because it is going to be hard. Since Oyu has a small life bar, she can die easily, but
using her level 3 charged you can make the big monsters suffer. I warn you to be careful
of the silver armored samurais, because they can gang up on your and their long-range
attacks can prevent you from getting close enough to unleash your level 3 attacks. As you
go through the rooms, you won't find items or chests, only in the room with the Silver
Samurai's, where there is a greenish-yellow pool in the middle, will you find the Oni's
Sacred Place Map #1 in the chest and on the other side of the big mouth statue, a
medicine sparkling on the floor.

You should know be in a room with glass tiles, blue colored, where fish explode from the
bottom. Just block, evade, kill what you can, and eventually the red force field on the
ladder would disappear. As you go down the ladder, you will have to find a rather
annoying monster watch out for the crocodile like monsters who will distract you and the
monster's tentacles. After you kill it there will be a hole in the wall, make sure to get the
Adarga from the chest.

Enter the hole in the wall and travel down the Fog Bridge. Be careful with the monsters
for they can cause serious damage on the narrow walk way. When you get to the magic
mirror, save and equip the Gladius that is in the chest. The next area contains some very
strong monsters, so be ready. The first monster, the yellow bull, can be taken down with
one level 3 charged attack, the next monster, the red bull, can actually kill you easily, and
it will take you around 3 or 4 level 3 charged attacks. If the red bull hits you, roll out of
the way as you get up, or lay there till you get an open chance, because if he cheats you
like he did me, then he will hit you as you try to get up and basically kill you.

Chapter 6-3: Oyu Finds the Sacred Flute

Congratulations, you just defeated the bulls and got your hands on the Sacred Flute.

Now, you must venture back to where Jubei was and handed it over. There is nothing else
to do with Oyu, you can either fight and get some souls for Jubei using Oyu's cool magic,
or just head straight for him and get on with the game.

Chapter 6-4: Oyu Hands Over the Sacred Flute

Oyu returns to Jubei with the Sacred Flute that Takajo told her to find. Jubei tells Oyu
that his wounds have healed. Now Jubei must go into the Oni's Sacred Place himself and
find the rest of the secrets that are hidden. Oyu departs.

First's things first, make sure to step up to the Earth Shrine and get your Dokoutsui. I've
gone ahead twice before without it only to venture back. Head in the same direction that
you did with Oyu and eventually…

Chapter 6-6: Kotaro Uncovers Oyu's Secret

Kotaro will pop up and tell you he knows who Oyu really is, as he is about to tell you
who she is then he hears something. Kotaro tells Jubei to go on ahead of him, and then
Kotaro and Oyu have a confrontation. Oyu is trying to tell Kotaro something, but Kotaro
won't listen.

Well do you remember where Oyu got the Adarga? Or where Oyu found that big hole in
the wall? Go there, where the Earth Mozun was, nothing special on the way, you should
of covered it all with Oyu. As you go kill monsters.

Once you get to that area where the Earth Mozun is, kill all the monsters, break the Earth
Mozun, and then kill the monster in the next area but don't forget the Circle Key on the
floor. Oyu will appear to help, so remember not to leave till you are sure there are no
more monsters. Head up the ladder and back track back to where you got the hammer. As
you are heading back to the place where you found the hammer, you will run into Oyu so
talk to her.

Chapter 6-8: Oyu Hesitates in Speaking

When you talk to Oyu, she mentions that she can't stay with Jubei. As Jubei asks why,
Oyu can't seem to say it. Suddenly two monsters appear. After you kill both monsters,
Jubei continues and asks what Oyu wanted to say. Oyu says nothing and then walks
away…but another monster appears, this one exploding out of a wall.

After you kill the monster behind him there is a chest that bears the Red Necklace, for
information on the Red Necklaces go to the NECKLACES section. Back in the main
corridor use the magic mirror effectively. After using the mirror, turn into that door
immediately to the left. You will find yourself in a blue u-turn corridor, so kill the
monsters, collect the Lift Instructions, and then head to the end of the corridor. You will
find a ceiling fan, just switch over to Senpumaru and use the magic attack. There is a
sparkling item, a Magic Liquid, just in case you don't have enough magic.

As the cinema shows the ceiling spin, you will notice that the elevator now has power.
Take it down, and pick up the Oni's Place #2 Map in the treasure chest. Just follow the
path into the door and as you walk in a cinema will show a robot flying in. You can
choose to fight and kill it, if you do another one will appear, if not you can just avoid it
and the other one. In the corner, next to the ladder and first robot, there is a puzzle box.

The answer to the puzzle is: 12, 2, and 6. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the
PUZZLES section]

You should get a nice Tanegashima for your efforts. With that in your inventory, climb
up the ladder, follow the path to another ladder, and climb down. Enter the door to find a
magic pool and next to the operating table there is number grid puzzle.

The answer to the puzzle is: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16. [If you don't understand this, please
refer to the PUZZLES section]

Solving the puzzle will give you the Golden Key. Now we must head back to the room
with the elevator and map. Just exit through the door, climb the ladder, follow the path,
climb down the ladder, kill the robots if you wish, and exit through the door. As you enter
the room again, you should see a ladder in the bottom-right corner. Climb it to find a
panel, examine it and accept to use the Golden Key. A cinema will show the moving
boxes stopping, so now you can cross them just like the stepping-stones in Yagyu
Village. On the other side, examine the door and accept to use the Circle Key.

Chapter 6-10: Kotaro doesn't Open up to Oyu

As you enter the door, Oyu will walk win and Kotaro will launch some of his knives at
her. A monster suddenly appears and hurts Kotaro, so Oyu steps in to save him. Kotaro
isn't very thankful, and yells at Oyu. Oyu explains to Kotaro that she will return home to
attend to her daughters, and also tells more of Kotaro's past. Kotaro isn't too happy to
hear all this and just walks out on Oyu after yelling at her, so Oyu walks after him.

Back with Jubei, you can find a Tokichiro's Memo #1 on the floor. Examine the statue to
open up a puzzle.

Check the PUZZLES section for the answer.

Solving the puzzle will make a Light Path appear. Enter it and soon you should appear on
top of a tower. Turn around, hit R2, and walk forward. Some people complained that they
didn't know how to get off the top of the tower. Follow the path to a ladder, and then just
go down it. As you go down you will find a puzzle box on your left.

The answer to the puzzle is: 2, 4, 6, 8, 1 and 7. [If you don't understand this, please refer
to the PUZZLES section]

You should get a Talisman, very useful, and now you can down track the stairwell. If you
follow this guide there should be monster archers, dispose of them. If there are no
monster archers, then you will have to do Ekei's sub quest, refer to Ekei's Walkthrough
for that. At the bottom there will be a few monsters, kill them, open the treasure chest to
attain the Green Wedge, and use the magic mirror to save, especially if you will want to
go to the Green Phantom Realm.

As you exit the room, you will come to a split. Go to the right, only if you are collecting
the artworks or want to visit the Green Phantom Realm, other wise go to the left.

If you go right, equip Buraitou and break the Mozun. Enter the door and examine the
shelves to find Artwork #11, and use the Green Wedge on the light to open up the Green
Phantom Realm, for more information on it go check the PHANTOM REALMS section.

If you go right, enter the door, and in the hallway get the Gifu East Area Map also ignore
the black treasure chest. Move forward and exit through the door. Once you enter this
area, there will be some monsters. Oyu should appear to help you, so remember to kill all
the monsters and then she leaves. After she leaves, travel along the path, don't take the
first turn, and you will come to a treasure chest, which contains the Cherry Key. Exit
through the door on the right, after you unlock it.

This should all look familiar. You can either leave to the next area, entering the Gifu
Castle, or kill the monsters. Once you enter the castle, there will be some more pesky
monsters. Deal with them and enter the double doors. Fight the monsters, and instead of
entering the door on the right, head out through the doors directly in front of the door you
came through. We want to return to where you found the Purify Charm your first time
here. Keep going through, ignore the door with the blue alter, pass the magic mirror, and
into the door. Ignore the treasure chest and just head upstairs. Kill monsters as you, now
just enter the only doors here; you should now be in the wrecked room's top floor. Enter
the door on the top and you will find a Mozun. Whip out Dokoutsui and take care of it.
Enter the room to find a medicine in the far corner, and a puzzle box.

The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 9, 5, 8, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer
to the PUZZLES section]

You should find the Dokoutsui Secret. With that in your inventory, let's back track. Exit
the room, cross the path and exit. Fight the monsters, and head down the stairs. Ignore the
chest and run out the door across the door underneath the stairs. Pass the magic mirror,
pass the blue alter door, and exit through the door in the hallway. Exit the small room,
and you are back to where you noticed the locked door.

You can fight the monsters here, or enter the door on the right, using the Cherry Key.
Once in the new room, ignore the black treasure chests and walk inside to find the
Crescent Key, Human as Food, Artwork #12, and another puzzle box.

The answer to the puzzle is: 11, 1, and 4. [If you don't understand this, please refer to the
PUZZLES section]

You should get a Magic Jewel, so use it. Once you get everything you just need to back
track to where you found the Cherry Key. Just exit through the door, exit through the
double doors on the right of the screen, run through the wrecked room and exit to the
keep. You should now be where there is a path that leads in a circle. Monsters appear and
so does Oyu. Dispose of the monsters and then leave through the door back to the East
Area. With the Crescent Key, you can now open the door that we first ignored. Kill the
monsters and head for the door to unlock it.

Do not leave through the door that is directly in front of the door you enter. As you enter,
take the path to the right to the Mozun. Switch over to the Hyoujin-Yari so that you can
break the Mozun, and then enter the door. In the room you can ignore the chest, and
follow the path behind the vases to find a Light Path.

After entering the Light Path, you will find yourself in a cave. You are now next to a
magic mirror, run straight and you should catch a glimpse of a treasure chest, open it to
get a Medicine. Many people get stuck here, so just return to the Light Path, since a statue
blocks the obvious route. Facing the magic mirror turn to Jubei's left, walk straight, and
you should find yourself facing a dark tunnel, now follow it.

This room contains more statues and a black treasure chest, so just ignore them. Keep
heading forward. You will encounter lots of monsters as you go, so be prepared to fight.
There is nothing important in these rooms, so just keep moving. Finally you should reach
a room with a bridge, which is open, so just kill all the monsters. After all the monsters
are dead, to the left there should be a switch. Examine it to lower the bridge down.

After crossing the bridge and entering the next room; you should see a magic mirror. Use
the mirror, and then notice directly in front of the mirror a statue, on the left of that statue
is Tokichiro's Memo #2. Follow the path; get the treasure chest with the Demon Cave
Map, and exit on the other side. Follow the path and fight the monsters, eventually you'll
reach the end. Be prepared to fight some bulls, be cautious because there are objects that
can interfere with your fighting.

After killing the bulls, or running away, you can exit the room. The next room has pesky
archers and strong demons, so be on guard. After you exit the room, you will find a
treasure chest that contains the Great Powder Tube, ignore the black chest. Run to the end
of the path to find a Mozun, careful, because monsters rise as you reach the Mozun. Kill
the monsters and then switch over to Senpumaru to take care of the final Mozun. Once
you pass the Mozun take the Herb from the chest, and walk forward to a puzzle box.

The answer to the puzzle is: 6, 7, 5, 4, and 1. [If you don't understand this, please refer to
the PUZZLES section]

You should get a Power Jewel, so use it. Walk forward to find the statue that was
blocking the original path. Use the Great Powder on him and he will give you a Secret
Medicine. Walk past him and you should be at the start of the cave, use the Great Powder
on the men to get some medicines, so now you can just enter the Light Path and be on
your way. After you get back from the caves, exit the room, and follow the path to the
door you haven't entered yet.

Once you enter, you will find Oyu fighting some monsters. Quickly help her and kill the
monsters, after they have been cleared Oyu will leave. Run after her, as you enter the
next room there will be monsters weight. Dispose of them and absorb the souls from the
soul pool. Ext through the door on the left of the soul pool, walk up the stairs, and leave
through the door.

Chapter 7-11: Jubei Helps Oyu

As you enter, Oyu is hurt, and you run to help her. After killing the monster talk to Oyu.
Jubei and Oyu will look at each other like lovers do. Oyu will extend your magic and life
bar as if you took a Magic and Power Jewel, and fill it up.

Just follow the path and enter the shack after the waterfall. In the shack take the Hunting
Schedule, and use the mirror to your liking. Walk down the stairs and examine the boat.
Cross it to the area across the lake. Once you arrive, there will be some monsters so just
take care of them. After killing the monsters enter the building but get ready since two
strong monsters will be waiting. Dispose of them with either magic or level 3 charged
attacks. Before leaving this room collect the following; Artwork #13, Fortinbras Book,
and Golden Evil Statue.
