Head up killing the Zolms that appear and then open the chest to the right of
the flames for a MAP:ARC (B1). After run to the left and then down into the
bottom corner here to find another chest this time containing a SALVE (S2).
Once you have these items proceed to check the flames in the center of the
Arch which will open a new area which you should head down.
At the end of this tunnel you can find your first weapon in the game, the TENSO.
These are dual blades which are very quick and you should also equip them now
because you will have a much easier time now with the enemies.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Tenso |

| Description | Description from the game |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
When you return outside you will meet up with a young woman along with her
comrades. After the cutscene you'll be inside a stairwell with two Zolms to
deal with followed by another cutscene.
After the cutscene is over return to the room and pick up the OBSERVATION
KEY (OB) and then continue to deal with the Zolms as you make your way up the
stairwell and use the OBSERVATION KEY on the locked door.
Continue down a little and ignore the glowing red chest for the moment because
you cannot access it. Dont miss the BANQUET BOOK (B2) on the chairs to the right
side of you. Continue heading up and you will find another chest but this time
you need to unlock it via a puzzle. The solution for all the puzzles listed here
can also be found in the corresponding section.

| Item Update | Oni Jewel |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | An odd yellow jewel that increases|

+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Be sure to use your ONI JEWEL (P) straight away then deal with the rest of the
Zolms. There is also a Soul Shrine here which if you hold down the O button
whilst standing in front of it will net you a lot of souls. Before you head
up the stairs make sure you open the chest (S3) containing a SALVE and use the
Magic Mirror (M2) to enhance the TENSO and save your game. Once you think you
are ready head up the stairs.
You'll meet Guildenstern here who reveals to you some of his plan. He also
has yet another new creation which you will have to do battle with.

| | | down |
| | | |
| | Flying Spin | Spins itself in the air whilst |
| | | targetting the nearest person |
+----------------------+--------------+----------------------------------------+
| How to Beat | This is yet another easy battle to deal with. |
| | If you have got enough souls to enhance the Tenso |
| | to LV2 already then you will kill it very quickly. |
+----------------------+ First of all try and stay near him otherwise he will |
| shoot at you which can be quite hard to side step. Dont bother hiding behind |
| the walls because they will be destroyed by its bullets. Once you are near |
| Use all your Ogre Power on it and then move away. If souls were released be |
| sure to absorb them and then get ready to side step its Flying Spin if it |
| does it. Keep repeaing this tactic until you defeat it. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After the battle absorb all the souls are released to trigger a series of
cutscenes. The control will switch over to Jacques after they are over.

Now you'll be in proper control of Jaques although he has no weapons and just
one SALVE if you didnt use it earlier. When you are ready head across the logs
and to the Magic Mirror (M1) to Save your game and then continue on down the
path.
A cutscene will be triggered here when Jacques heres the scream of Henri. He's
in danger from a Gorr before more strange events take place.
After the cutscene is over you will receive the ONI GAUNTLET, SCRL: ONIMUSHA and
the ONI WHIP.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Oni Gauntlet |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | This Oni gauntlet can entrap genma|
| | souls |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Oni Whip |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | A holy whip passed down to the Oni|
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Now you need to defeat the Gorr which can be quite tough bcause of the Oni
Whip not being too strong. Remember to block all its attacks otherwise you'll
find yourself dying very quickly. Also remember that since the ONI WHIP is
a basic weapon it has no magical attacks. The best and easiest way to defeat
it however is to run behind it from where the battle starts and you'll see
a rock. Have your back facing to the Gorr and then hold R1 and press X which
will toss the rock at it which will knock it down to the floor. Follow this
up with some combos and it will die.
There will be a long cutscene following this battle and you will find out how
Jacques can get back and you will be presented Ako who will help you on your
journey. She is a Tengu who will introduce herself and you will also receive
SCRL: AKO which is a file explaining how you can use Ako.
After you have finished reading head up and there should be four or five
Zombie Foot Soldiers, deal with all of them to get some souls and then continue
up and along the path to the next area.
There will be lots of Zombie Foot Soldiers to deal with again here so make
sure thats the first thing to do. Continue up the path through the next area
and kill the Zombie Foot Soldiers. You will notice some plants to the left of
you (i'll refer to them as Genma Plants) however you cannot defeat them yet
because your weapon is too blunt so continue along the path.
You'll now be near some houses with even more enemies to deal with. When you
walk to the right a cutscene will be triggered and you will meet up with
Samanosuke Akechi (Past) before being attacked by more foot soldiers. This
time Samanosuke will be with you so it will be a lot easier but dont
forget to absorb all the souls. once they are all defeated another cutscene
will start and you'll begin to understand its not the same Samanosuke.
After the cutscene there will be no more genma here so you can explore
freely. Head into the first house first and smash the old crate here to
have an ECO SPIRIT drop out and then open the chest behind it for a HERB (H).
Next head to the right house stairs and pick up the SCRL: THROW here (B1)
before heading into the back of the hosue to open the chest containing
a BLUE VEST (BV). This is the first Haori for Ako which increases the speed
of enemy soul absorption once you have used two Eco Spirits on it. You should
only have one at the moment so go ahead and use it then head back down the
stairs.
Run down the center then take a right and Ako will tell you that somethings
there. It is in fact a Tengu Chest which only Ako can open. To open them after
Ako has spotted it press the X button. She will retrieve the item and hold
it in front of you which you can acquire by pressing the X button. The chest
contains a HERB (H2) and then continue up the stairs in the center.
In the next area head up the stairs and you should be attacked by some enemies
including some Three-Eyes. Deal with them and continue up to trigger another
cutscene revealing a strange object and you agree to split up. You cant do
anything with Stupa Tower at the moment so head down the stairs and use the
Magic Mirror to save your game. Do not use your souls yet because you want
to save them for when you get a weapon. After you are done with the Magic
Mirror head to the right to the next area.
First defeat all the Barthahs here making sure to absorb all the sould then
open the chest here containing the SCRL: FIREFLY (B2) and a firefly itself.
Jacques has a unique ability that allows him to swing to normally unaccessable
areas using Oni Fireflys. Simply walk close to the firefly until it glows
green and then hold R1 and press the X button. You should go ahead and do
this now to get across the gap and continue up the path.
This next area involves more swinging about with the fireflys so head to the left
and smash the old crate there to release three fireflys which you should
proceed to swing across to reach the other side and open the chest near the
figure head to obtain a MAP: MT. HIEI (B3) and continue down the ladder. Smash
the old crate here to release a firefly and then open the chest behind
containing the BRONZE COIN (BC).
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Bronze Mirror |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Beautifully decorated bronze |
| | mirror |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Before you Use the firefly to get over
the bridge examine the edge of the bridge to have Ako retrieve the MEDICINE
(ME) from the Tengu chest.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Medicine |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Scented herbs that give medium |
| | HP restoration |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Once you have all this use the firefly and head
back to Stupa Tower. You will be attacked by Genma here which you should
defeat before using the Magic Mirror again and then walk up the stairs
to use the BRONZE COIN in the slot there.
You'll see another cutscene as the Fire Orb lowers and Jacques gauntlet begins
to glow. You will now receive Jacques' first Magical weapon in the game, the
ENJA.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Enja |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Sword that emits fire magic |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
When you walk down the stairs you'll be greeted by some more Three-Eyes' which
you can use to test out your new weapon (this doesnt always occur). Once you
are done with them chop down the plants to the left with your sword and then
go back to the Magic Mirror. Now you can use your souls to enhance your Enja
a little as its very unlikely you will even have half the required souls.
Instead of heading to the left head back down the stairs near the Magic Mirror.
There will be a new type of enemy here, the Bazu which you should always block
against when its spinning towards you. Defeat all the enemies here and then head
out of this area through to the left.
First deal with all the Bazu's here again and then chop down the plants here
again with the Enja. Before you open the chest a Gorr will appear but you
can kill it easily by walking back and throwing the rock at it (if you haven't
used it already). After defeating it open the chest containing the GATE KEY (GK).
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Gate Key |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | A dignified, ancient key |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Now go back to the area you were just in and you will notice that not only
is there more enemies to defeat again but one of the Barthahs has a firefly
on it. When you defeat this it will be released so first defeat all the enemies
here. Once they're all defeated use the firefly to get up on the roof and on
the other side of it you can find an ONI JEWEL (OJ).
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Oni Jewel |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | An odd blue jewel that increases |
| | max magic power |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Thats right these handy jewels increase your Ogre gauge by just a little so
go ahead and use it now and then jump back down from the roof.
Be careful when ascending the stairs here because a Gorr is waiting here and
its hard to dodge against it in such an enclosed space so i would suggest
that you use the Enja's magical attack to deal with it quickly (two should
kill it). Once you reach the top of the stairs kill the barthahs and three-eyes
and then use the Magic Mirror once again. If you are enhancing the Enja still
then by now you should have at least half of the level on it. After saving head
to the left into a new area.
The music will change here but dont worry because the only thing to defeat
here is Genma Plants which you should do to get some souls. Head down the small
hill collecting the souls from the Genma Plants as you go and enter the next
area.
You will be at a gate now with several Genma Foor Soldiers and Samanosuke again.
Defeat these first then head up to the gate and use the GATE KEY to unlock it.
Some Three-Eyes will attack here so defeat them first and then smash open
the old crate to the left of the gate you entered to release a Oni Firefly.
If you check along the top here you can find a SCRL: MISSION (B4)here. Now head
around to the other side up here and smash another old crate to release your
second ECO SPIRIT. Use this on the BLUE VEST so you can equip it making it
easier to consume souls. After you have done this open the chest behind it to
obtain a MEDICINE (ME2) and then use the Oni Firefly to jump back down to the
ground and follow the path to the next area.
Some more Three-Eyes will attack here so deal with them making sure you watch
out for the plants above spitting out acid which can inflict some damage on
you. From where you enter the screen there is an old crate which you can smash
to the right of you but it wont have anything inside it. Head up the stairs
and to the left is a puzzle box (PB).

Make sure you use this before you head to your right and use the Magic Mirror
(M3) to save and enhance the Enja. Depending if you fought a lot of enemies
to get a lot of souls its likely that your Enja will still be level 1. Once
you're ready head through the double doors.
You will see another cutscene involving Ranmaru Mori who reveals more of
Nobunaga Oda's intentions. Following this cutscene you will have to do battle
with an old friend.

| How to Beat | This battle isnt too tough if you know what you're |
| | doing however it is harder than Samanosukes first |
| | boss battle. If you have managed to enhance Enja to |
+----------------------+ Lv2 then you will find this battle a lot easier. |
| Do not use your magic attacks at the start because it will only damage his |
| shield so instead side-step out of the way of his attacks and then continue |
| to attack his shield. You can also defeat him by using the Oni Firefly in |
| the center of the room. This will allow you to get out of the way of his |
| attacks and allow you to do a jumping slash on him. Once you have dealt a lot|
| of damage to him his sword will enhance with a purple aura around it. He |
| will now do a lot more damage and a Thunder Strike which cannot be blocked |
| against. When he does this start using your Magical attacks on it to damage |
| it and then go back to the Oni Firefly method to minimize damage. This |
| battle is a lot easier if you can pull of some Issen's on him and if you |
| have five purple orbs to revive you if you do die. If you do use Onimusha |
| mode start using its magical attack to finish it off. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Absorb the souls after you have defeated it and then watch the following cutscene
that reveals more about Ako's talents and then the game will switch back to
Samanosuke once more.

During the cutscene Michelle will get a call from her men asking her to come
help them and then Michelle will ask you to follow her. Once you get control
do not follow her and instead head to your right and then turn left at the
end. Ako will find a Tengu Chest containing a First-aid Kit.
Now head back into the door you were in before you was Jacques and head
back up to the top and enter the door there. Head to the end here past the
second statue and Ako will find another Tengu chest this time containing
FLAME ARROW.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Flame Arrow |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | These arrows cover targets in |

Once you have this head back down the stairwell and then follow where
Michelle went, down the stairs. Genma will attack here so defeat them whilst
heading down and then head back to the locked door to find a man dead holding
the SEWER KEY. Go to the locked door and use your new key and enter the door
to a new area.

From the start head down to find a new type of Genma, the Zolworm which will
take a few hits to defeat. Also when you do defeat them they split themselves
into Grea which jump onto you. After defeating this head down to the right
and then into the first door you come across.
This will trigger a cutscene and then you can use the Magic Mirror to the left
of the door. Now head over to the control panel and you will switch on the
power to the sewers. On the other control panel you can find the MEMO TO CHIEF
(B1). Before you leave make a mental note of how many chairs there are in this
room along with one cassette deck and then head out of the room.
Head along the walkway right and you will see a bridge standing up which you
cannot pushed down. Now that you have the power back on you can use the red
button next to it which will cause it to lower allowing you access to the
walkway on the otherside.
When you cross the bridge head north and open the chest there containing
a MAP: SEWER (B2). Kill the two Zolworms and head to the east and you'll
come across a gate blocking the path towards a ladder. Instead you will
have to head through the door just to the left of it.
As soon as you enter this new room you will be attacked by two Zolworms so
take care of them making sure you deal with one at a time and then head to the
left making sure you break the barrel first for a Eco Spirit. Theres a chest
at the end here containing your first gadgemallo which can be quite tricky
to defeat. Try using your bow if you're having trouble hitting it with your
sword and for defeating it you will obtain a SALVE (S1). Go back to where
you found that chest and head to the right. Destroy the barrel here for another
Eco Spirit and then open the chest for the RED VEST (RV). You should have the
two Eco Spirits required so attach them and then equip it. This makes it easier
to gain more Red Souls meaning you can enhance equipment sooner.
Head back to the right of the room to find a ladder which you should ascend
to a small office. On the table here is the WORKER MEMO (B3) which reveals
how to unlock the door at the bottom of the ladder. At the end of this office
is a machine that requires a object to use and a SCRL: CH ATTACK (B4).
Now head down the ladder and head over to the locked door to the oposite
side of it and you will realise that there is three numbers required to open it.
This puzzle is simple and it is related to the Worker Memo you just obtained.
The left number is relating to the number of chairs in control room 1 (3), the
middle number is relating to the number of cassette decks in control room 1 (1)
and the right number is relating to the number of monitors in control room 1 (4).
The answer to the puzzle then is:
3 1 4
After inputting this number head throug the door to find yourself the other
side of the gate. If you head to the right of this door you will find the
next puzzle box (PB).
