First version of the FAQ released and the whole setup for the FAQ is finished.
The main Walkthrough, Boss and secrets section are all complete. Also I have
added a File, Weapons and Items database which are also all complete. There
is still quite a lot to do, i have to touch up on any mistakes found in the
walkthrough, a walkthrough for Heihachi's mini-game and attempt to start solving
all those puzzles in the puzzle mini-game. Also i have to start the Training
section which I have still yet to start.

| IV. Introduction to the Guide |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Welcome to my intensive guide for Onimusha 3: Demon Seige for the Playstation
2. This is the final game in Capcoms demon slashing trilogy which tells
the story between man, demon and the hidden power of the Oni.
I am hoping to make this the most complete guide available for the game
covering all aspects of the game that i can. I believe this to be
an excellent conclusion to the Onimusha series which i have come to
enjoy a great deal with this final installment being the best yet.
The guide will cover all aspects of the game from the fighting basics to
the walkthrough and game secrets. Be aware that the Endings section
does contain spoilers about the ending so read it at your own risk.
This guide is for the North American version of Onimusha 3: Demon Seige
that has a slightly different title to the Japanese version of the game.
With all this said i hope that the guide can provide you with everything
you may wish to know and conquer in Onimusha 3: Demon Seige.

| VII. Combat Techniques and Help |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-----------------------+
| Using Magical Attacks |
+-----------------------+
Magical attacks are probably the best way to attack a hard enemy in the game
because it deals a lot of power especially when upgraded to the MAX level.
However dont abuse the Magical Attacks because you will want to save them
for the Boss fights.
+----------------------+
| Charge Attacks |
+----------------------+
These are also very useful against normal enemies and hard enemies
because they dont use up any ogre power but deal a lot of damage.
Jacques gets an extra attack during the game that makes his charge attacks
very useful indeed.
Ogre Lasso
Once you have received the scroll for this charge up your weapon and then
press the attack button which will cause Jacques to grab the enemy and
then perform Ogre Lasso.
You can cause even more damage during a Orge Lasso by performing special
attacks whilst you have it grabbed.
+-----------------------+
| Onimusha |
+-----------------------+
Before you can even transform into the Onimusha you must have first
absorbed five purple souls and then press the R3 button to transform into it.
You will only be in it for a short time before returning to normal but whilst
in this state you will do major damage especially if you do a special attack.
Special Attacks however decrease a significant amount of your Onimusha
gauge.
Onimusha can also be used as a way of regaining life because if you have
five purple souls when you die you will transform into it to prevent you
from dying. After the Onimusha Gauge expires you will regain a small
amount of life.
+----------------------+
| Hissatsu |
+----------------------+
This is a critical attack that will slice all enemies (excluding bosses) in
two and will generate a lot of souls. There is two types of Hissatsu
that is described below.
Issen
This is performed by pressing the attack button just before an enemy hits you.
There is a specific point in each enemy's attack where you must perform
Issen.
Hajiki Issen
This is performed by first deflecting an enemy's attack and pressing the attack
button immediately after. This is a lot easier to perform than the normal Issen
although it can still be tricky.
+----------------------+
| Draw Stance |
+----------------------+
By holding down the R1 Button your character will enter Draw Stance (Ready Stance
via instruction manual). This will allows you to move forward, backwards, to the
left and to the right whilst having your weapon drawn. In this stance you
can easily sidestep out of the way of enemies attacks and perform an Issen on
them.
Your attacks will also be slightly different whilst in this stance. You will be
able to do a lunge attack and a kick attack. When enemies are near you, you
will lock onto the nearest enemy when you enter Draw Stance.
+------------------------+
| Blocking Attacks |
+------------------------+
A lot of people forget about this feature alot when playing and tend to just
hack away at enemies. Although this will probably work for most of the game
a lot of enemies later in the game will eat you alive if you dont use
the block feature. You can also perform Hajiki Issen when blocking too which
will help alot against some big enemies.

(1) Sub Weapon Ammunition
This shows how many arrows (Samanosuke) or Grenades (Michelle) you
have left to use. You can change the type of arrows Samanosuke is using
by going into the inventory screen.
(2) Purple Souls
Displays how many of the five required souls you currently have that is
required to transform into the Onimusha. When you are in Onimusha mode
the normal Vitality gauge will be replaced with a decreasing purple
bar. When it depletes you will transform back into your original state.
(3) Current Orb/Weapon
The colour of this orb corresponds to the element of the weapon you are
using.
(4) Vitality Bar
Represents how much health the character has left. It will decrease when
the character takes damage. When the bar depletes your game will be over.
(5) Ogre Power Bar
Represents how much Ogre Power the character has left. Ogre Power is required
to perform Magical Attacks and decreases when a Magical Attack is used.
If it depletes then you will be unable to perform Magical Attacks.
