Onimusha 3: Demon Siege - Strategy Guide (Page 06)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Onimusha 3: Demon Siege - Strategy Guide (Page 06).
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Gold Skull |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | This skull was made from pure gold|
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Now that you have this item you can head back to the door near the Magic Mirror
(M2). Save your game here and try to enhance the Kuga to Level 2. Now walk
over to the door and use the GOLD SKULL to unlock it and then head through to
trigger a cutscene.
After the cutscene you will be introduced to two new Genma you have yet to
face. They are the Doldekko's which are the evolved form of the Doldow's which
you haven't even faced yet. Your best bet here is to launch your Magical attacks
on them which should make this a lot easier.
After the battle check the rightside of the room near the barrel to find the
TIME LAB 3 (B5). Now head as far as you can to the right of the steps and
Ako will spot a Tengu chst containing ELEC ARROW (EA). The only thing left to
do here is go up to the device and use it to chase Guildenstern.
After the cutscene you will be transported to the Oni Ruins.

This next section involves a new feature in the Onimusha trilogy, character
switching which is a little like the feature found in Resident Evil: O but
you can only switch at designated spots. There will be two maps, one for
each character and they will contain the items that that character can obtain
alone.

From the start head onto the Western Ship and head up to the highest part of it.
In the corner here is an ONI MED LV 1 (OM) which you should pick up. Now come
of the boat and head down to the door leading into the Oni Ruins.
This next room you will be visiting a lot because its like the center room of
everything here but don't worry though because you're also safe from enemies
here. In this room you can find a chest laying to the side of the Warp Gate (W)
containing a TBLT: TIMEFOLD (B1). This file explains how the Warp Gate is used
to switch between characters which you should take note of.
In order to finish this area your objective is to find three small round coins
and give them to Jacques who can use them in the past. This will activate all
the doors in the future also. Once all the doors are open then you can gain
access out of this area but thats a long way away.
Some people like to take different routes through this area and this guide
is my route through the area, it may or may not take longer than other routes
you may find.
With all this said Save your game using the Magic Mirror (M) and then use the
Warp Gate to gain control of Jacques.
+-------------------+
| Jacques |
+-------------------+
When you warp to Jacques a cutscene will be triggered revealing that Jacques is
in the same place as Samanosuke. There will be genma attacking after the cutscene
so make sure you deal with them and then head through the same door you went
through with Samanosuke.
You'll be in the same warp room as Samanosuke but this time you will notice that
he cannot go any further at the moment so use the Magic Mirror (M1) to
enhance and save your game and then use the Warp Gate to warp back to
Samanosuke.
+-----------------+
| Samanosuke |
+-----------------+
As Samanosuke you will notice that he has access to the Yellow door and the
reason for this is because he has a YELLOW DISC inserted in the hole near
the yellow flame (center of the area). However if you go through this
door you will notice that Samanosuke is stopped by a deep pool of water.
Go over to the statue and remove the YELLOW DISK and then go and warp it back
to Jacques.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Yellow Disk |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Disk with a yellow stone in the |
| | center |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
+-------------------+
| Jacques |
+-------------------+
Now with Jacques insert the coin in the slot Samanosuke removed it from causing
the water to vanish and steps leading up to the door appear. When you head
through this door with Jacques there is an Oni firefly which you can use
to access the top of the area. Do this and defeat the enemies at the top and then
search the wall to the right of the door to discover that there is a statue with
no LEFT HORN, take note of this for later and head through the door.
Head to the far end of this room and check the left corner for the SCRL: CRITICAL
(B2). In the right corner you will notice a pedestal surrounded in light and
a chest containing the ANCIENT SLAB and TIME LAB 2 (B3). After reading the
TIME LAB 2 a cutscene will be triggered with Ranmaru Mori before he sets some
genma on you.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Ancient Slab |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Book-shaped slab showing Oni |
| | letters and numbers |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Defeat all the enemies here before you take the elevator up to the next floor
of this area.
Defeat all the enemies in this next area before you open the chest near
the entrance containing the MAP: SEA TEMPLE (B4) and then head over to the
bookshelf at the end of this room. In here use the ANCIENT SLAB you found
in the room before this that will trigger a puzzle.
It is a simple math problem which you should be able to work out but if you
can't here is the solution:
5 x 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 22
This will move the bookshelf to one side allowing you to access the passage
behind it. You cannot go up because you need the Earth elemental weapon to
pass through. To the right is a chest containing an Oni Firefly and to the
left is the Dark Realm (DR).
First come back out and use the Oni Firefly to swing to the top and then
defeat the Zombie Archers. Open the chest after containing the L. DRAGON HORN
(LDH) and to the left of the chest is a Tengu chest containing a MEDICINE (ME1).
Follow the area around and you will find the ONI TORTOISE (B5) on the wall here.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | L. Dragon Horn |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Well-crafted carving of a dragon |
| | horn |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Now that you have this use the Oni firefly to jump back down and then head back
into the passage. Use Ako's white vest to fully heal you and then this time
head to the left. This is the entrance to the Dark Realm which is entirely
optional but worth it. If you think you are ready agree to enter.
+----------------------------+
| Jacques Blanc Dark Realm 1 |
+----------------------------+
When in the Dark Realm remember that you dont need to waste healing items
unless you think you're going to die because at the end of each level you
can use Ako to fully heal you with the White Vest.

|Entrance|
+--------+
you'll be presented the SCRL: DARK REALM upon entering which explains how
the Dark Realm works. The enemies are easy on this first level that consists
of Zolms. After they are all defeated you will be presented with the choice
of three portals. The one in the middle exits the Dark Realm and the other
two are different routes you can take. Also when the portals appear you should
use Ako's White Vest to heal any lost vitality.
+--------------+
| Blue Portal 1|
+--------------+
Enemies you fight here consist of Gilzolms and Three-Eyes' which are still
fairly easy to kill.
+---------------+
| Pink Portal 1 |
+---------------+
Enemies you fight here consist of several Mountain Ogre's which can deal a lot
of damage if you dont defend properly. Use Magic attacks if the situation looks
bad. There is a Soul Statue here you can use after you finish the level.
+----------------+
| Green Portal 1 |
+----------------+
There is Genma Plants in the middle which when defeated releases a Gorr. Bock
and counter against it.
+-----------------+
| Pink Portal 2 |
+-----------------+
This is the last level of Jacques first Dark Realm and it isnt too hard. It
starts off with Battobones and then three Mountain Ogre's jump down. Let
the Ogre's kill the other enemies and then finish the one left standing yourself.
+--------+----------------+
| Reward | Lightning Seal |
+--------+----------------+
You cannot do anything in the normal game with this but if you finish the
game with it in your possesion you can unlock something (see secrets section).
After obtaining the SECRET MED exit the Dark Realm and then take the elevator
down to the previous floor again and a very short cutscene will introduce
a new enemy, the Dark Marrionette's. These are quite hard to deal with
so make sure you guard a lot. Leave this room now.
Now if you look to the right you can now use the L. DRAGON HORN which lowers
the water level below for both Samanosuke and Jacques. Head over using the
Oni firefly and then kill the Mountain Ogre near the door at the top and
enter the Warp Room.
Enhance and save your game here (M1) and then use the Warp (W) portal to warp
back to Samanosuke.
+---------------+
| Samanosuke |
+---------------+
Samanosuke can now take the Yellow route because the water level has been
lowered so enter the door and head down the slope and you'll be attacked by
Zolms. Under the staircase is a chest containing a SECRET MED (SM). Now head
up the staircase and enter the door at the top.
You will notice that the pedestal surrounded in light is now accessable in the
future so head over and take the BLUE DISK (BD) followed by a cutscene.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Blue Disk |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Disk with a blue stone in the |
| | center |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
This cutscene shows Ranmaru in his "new" state given to him by Guildentstern
and he wont be such a push over this time.

* Boss Battle: Genma Ranmaru 3/5 *
* *
*------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
| Boss Strategy |
| |
+----------------------+--------------+----------------------------------------+
| Attacks |Guard | Guards attacks with his shield |
| | | |
| |Slice | Slices with dual blades |
| | | |
| | | |
| |Thurst | Thrusts at you with his blades |
| | | |
| |Teleport | Teleports himself to another location |
| | | |
| |Absorb | Absorb souls that are released |
| | | |
| |Flame Strike | Hurls a flame at you when he jumps in |
| | | air. |
+----------------------+--------------+----------------------------------------+
| How to Beat | This battle is like the first time you face him in his|
| | human state only this time he is faster and his |
| | attacks hurt a lot more. If that wasn't bad enough |
+----------------------+ Ranmaru guards an awful lot during the battle and then|
| teleports when you go near him. Like all boss battles let your magic do the |
| talking first then go for Issen's and counters. The best way to get a combo |
| on him is to guard his combo then counter with your own. A lot of the time |
| when you approach him he will sommersault out of the way of your attacks |
| followed by another sword combo. I would go with the Kuga in this battle |
| because he seems to block the Tenso a lot more. The more Magic Power you have|
| the easier this battle becomes. Try to absorb the blue souls before he does |
| when they are released but do not use any Oni Med's you have because you'll |
| need them later in the game. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After Ranmaru flees take the door back out and return to the Warp Room (W) and
save and enhance then warp the BLUE DISK to Jacques.
+-----------------+
| Jacques |
+-----------------+
As Jacques insert the Blue Disk to gain access to the Blue route and then
enter the door.
There are lots of Zombie Foot Soldiers and Archers in this next area so try
and kill them all before you absorb the souls for a massive soul bonus and then
head through the door at the top.
To the right of you here is another dragon but this time with no RIGHT HORN but
leave this for now and defeat the enemies residing in this room. When you're
done take the elevator down to a room with some boxes that cannot be destroyed.
If you head to the top right corner here Ako will spot a Tengu chest containing
SOUL ARROW (SA).
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Soul Arrow |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Help extract souls while attacking|
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Head back up the elevator and defeat the enemies and then go up the stairs
and through the door.
You'll now be above the area where the Western Ship is so defeat the Dark
Marrionette and then use the Oni Firefly to get across the two gaps and then
open the Puzzle Box here (PB1).

Move I, J, K, G and then finally F to complete the puzzle.
+---------+------------+
| Reward | Oni Jewel |
+---------+------------+
Use the ONI JEWEL and then continue along the path until you reach a Oni Firefly
laying on the floor. Examine it to have three Oni Firefly's fly off to
different parts of this room and then use the one near you to get across the gap.
There is a pedestal here that contains Jacques next weapon.......
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Hyosai |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Hammer that emits ice magic |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Its actually a mace and in my opinion one of the worst weapons in the whole game.
Now that you have this use the Oni Fireflys to get back to the door you just
entered (the other oni fireflys take you back to the entrance) and leave this
room.
Defeat the Gorr that drops down here and then equip the HYOSAI and examine the
door to remove the seal on it and then open the door. You cannot do nothing
in this room for the time being (don't try and get past these because you can't)
but take a mental note of the wingless Oni Firefly here. Now head back to the
room where you got the HYOSAI and use the other Oni Firefly's here to return
back to where the Western Ship is. From here enter the door back to the warp
room and save and enhance. Use the Warp Gate here to warp back to Samanosuke.
+----------------+
| Samanosuke |
+----------------+
Back as Samanosuke take the Blue route and follow the path down until you are
about to take the corner and the glass will smash. Race down the end
of this corridor to the door at the end and enter it otherwise you will
be washed away.
If you check to your right in this next room you will see the Dragon statue again
which you still can't do anything with. In the top corner of this area you can
find a chest with contains the MAP: SEA TEMPLE (B6) and to the right side
of the stairs is the SCRL: CHN CRITICAL (B7). Head up the stairs and defeat
the Doldekko and then exit through the door there.
You can now break the boxes here which will reveal an EcoSpirit and the
R DRAGON HORN (RDH).
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | R. Dragon Horn |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Well-crafted carving of a dragon |
| | horn |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Now you have this head back through the door and down the stairs again and
insert it into the statue here causing the water level in the room before
this to drop. Now head through the Ice elemental door that Jacques went
in not too long ago.
You'll notice that theres no power being generated here so you can
run through to the end and pick up the FIREFLY WINGS (FW) at the end.
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Firefly Wings |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | The Oni firefly wings are rainbow |
| | colored |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
Now that you have these head out of this room and back to the room where
the water came crashing out. Defeat all the enemies here while you head
back to the Warp room (W) and then save and enhance. Go to the Warp Gate
and warp the FIREFLY WINGS back to Jacques.
+---------------+
| Jacques |
+---------------+
You will notice that you cannot go through the Blue door now because darkness
is surrounded it so you have to go back to the Western Ship.
Take the Oni Fireflys on the ship back to the top of them room and then enter
the door here.
Go down the stairs and defeat all the enemies here and then head through the ice
elemental door to be back in the room with the broken Oni Firefly. Attach the
FIREFLY WINGS and then use it hop across to the other side of the room. Examine
the mechanism at the end to obtain the POWER CRYSTAL (PC).
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Power Crystal |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | A magical crystal that provides |
| | power |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
This will cause all power in the Undersea Temple to shut down but it doesn't
matter because Jacques doesn't need it anymore. Upom leaving this room you
will see a strange cutscene involving Heihachi.
Head all the way back to the
Western Ship area and use the Oni Fireflys once more to return to the bottom
and enter the Warp room again.
Save and enhance like usual and then warp the POWER CRYSTAL and any arrows
you may have back to Samanosuke.
+----------------+
| Samanosuke |
+----------------+
Absorb the darkness surrounding the Blue door and then take it defeating the
enemies in the next room and take the door at the top. Defeat the genma
that appear here before taking the Ice elemental door. Head to the end
here and use the POWER CRYSTAL to restore power back to the future and then
leave the room.
Defeat the enemies once more and then take the elevator in the corner of this
room down. This time you can break the boxes which will reveal another
EcoSpirit and a new weapon for Samanosuke, the..........
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Item Update | Chigo |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
| Description | Axe that emits earth magic |
+-------------+-----------------------------------+
I believe this to be Samanosuke's worst weapon in the game but its a little
better than the Hyosai due to its magical attack. Defeat the enemies here and
then take the elevator back up and return to the warp (W) room.
Save and enhance here and then head through the yellow door once more. Head down
the slope here dealing with the Doldekko then head up the stairs and into the
door here.
Defeat the Gilzolms here and then use the elevator that you used with Jacques.
Samanosuke has access to this elevator now due to the Power being restored
to the Temple.
Defeat the Dongorr that drops down here with Issen attacks if you can and then
head into the passage and head to the left here to be greeted with the
cocoon man and choose to enter the Dark Realm (optional).
+-------------------------------+
| Samanosuke Akechi Dark Realm 1|
+-------------------------------+
This realm is different to Jacques in the sense that it contains different
items, enemies and levels. Remember to use the White Vest in between levels
instead of healing items, you'll need them.

to Issen them if you can for more souls.
