Onimusha: Warlords - Strategy Guide (Page 02)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Onimusha: Warlords - Strategy Guide (Page 02).
The path will continue until it stops at a door with spirits guarding it. You
have to find the PURIFIER BELL and make them stop. Now, you can't go through
it no matter what so head for the path to the right. Just keep advancing until
you reach a door. Enter it! This is here's what you call a savepoint. Save
your game and enhance your items especially the ARASHI. In fact, only enhance
the ARASHI. Be sure to grab an herb from the chest. Continue along until you
reach some tentacles blocking the path. Hack through it and suck up the souls
they release. In the next room, kill Reynaldo and grab the BYAKKO, GREEN BOOK,
and ORANGE BOOK. Enter the next door and you'll be in a narrow hallway. Kill
more Reynaldos. Round the corner until you reach a gray double door. Enter it
and you'll see (cows?) hanging from the ceiling. Head to your right and grab
the KEEP UNDERGROUND MAP from the treasure box. Hack away at the weight and
balance causing the other side to raise revealing an item. Go over to the other
side and grab the ROSARY OF COMMUNION. This will allow you to talk to spirits.
Exit the room and look for the other gray door. Again, fight more Reynaldos on
the way. After entering the gray door, you'll find yourself in a room with blue
candles on both sides and a treasure chest at the end. It contains the PURIFIER
BELL you needed. After grabbing it, you'll trigger a trap. Carefully navigate
to the door and make sure that you won't get hit by the razor-sharp blades.
There are three of them.
Head back out to the door that was guarded by spirits. Use the bell there and
advance. In this hallway, there are several tall samaurais encased in glass.
Guess what's going to happen. Yep, three of them will bust through their cases
and go for little Sam. Finish them off. Block from time time and mash buttons
when you are grabbed. After that, round the corner and go all the way to the
end and grab the FLOURITE on the left. Head back to the door you see right at
the turn and enter it. You need a BLUE KEY for the double door. Enter the door
aforementioned. Ignore the green door for now. Round the corner and kill more
Reynaldos. At the end is a WHITE BOOK and an HERB from the treasure box. Now,
go back to the door protected with green magic. Hope you enhanced the ARASHI as
recommended. If not, kill more baddies and suck up more souls. OK, once inside
this door, go to the end and you'll see a dead guy with a cloud on his head.
If you have the ROSARY OF COMMUNION, try talking to him. He'll tell you about a
monkey. What monkey?! Grab the BYAKKO and APOCOLYPSE #1. Now try the trick
treasure chest.
===============================================================================
Puzzle: TRICK TREASURE CHEST #3
===============================================================================
The reward is a blue key. Now, let's try it! Turn these in order: middle once,
right once, left once. Voila!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once that is done, go to the door and grab a FLOURITE from the iron maiden to
the right of the door. With the BLUE KEY in your possession, go back to the
double door outside (right across from where you found the other FLOURITE).
Watch the cutscene and you'll control Kaede.
It's onto Part Four from here...

KEEP AND WEST AREA (KAEDE)
===============================================================================
General Area Tip: Since you don't get any souls from killing baddies, it's
best if you just run and fight ONLY when trapped.
===============================================================================
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~ As Kaede ~
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Try to exit the room from where you are and you'll see a cutscene of a soldier.
He'll give you the RED KEY. Now, it's you job to get to the prison. Head out
to the courtyard and enter the green door. Just avoid the blue ninjas and use
RED KEY on the wooden door. Keep advancing and don't worry about the monsters.
Fight only when you're trapped. Continue until you're in an archery range with
a soldier trying to defend himself. Kill the demon he's fighting with and avoid
the archers. After he's done for, go up and kill the archers. You'll hear a
sigh. Go back down and claim your prize. It's a SOUL ABSORBER. Only Sam can
use this. Now, don't go up the ladder yet. Go through the door before the
ladder. You'll be in a garden with crickets. Avoid the blue ninjas and enter
the next door. Be sure to grab the KUNAIS laying the grass. In this room,
there is a save point and treasure box. You have to decode this puzzle to get
a MAGIC JEWEL.
===============================================================================
Puzzle: OGRES CLAN MEETING PLACE
===============================================================================
Enter the following to claim the prize: 5th choice, 7th choice, 2nd choice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the jewel in your possession, go for the next door. In this room, there is
a gate that requires the GOLD and SILVER plate to unlock. You don't have
those yet. Grab the shiny thing in front of the soldier. It's a GEAR.
Head back to the archery range and climb the ladder. You should be on a catwalk
overlooking the yard. Take the iron door. Take the next ladder down. There
is a door protected by red magic that Kaede can't open. Ignore it and go for
the save point. Save your game here. Open the treasure box for the WEST AREA
MAP. Use the SHINOBI KIT on the next door to the left of the magic mirror. In
this corridor, you have to go through a lot of demons. You can either avoid
them or hack away, it's up to you. At the end of the path, it will branch into
two. To the right is a door and to the left is another door. Take the left
door. Have Kaede turn to your right and grab an HERB from the hidden treasure
chest. Go for the other treasure chest for the JOURNAL NO. 5. Then get the
SUZAKU on the shelf in the corner. Now, examine the cupboard to your right and
it will reveal a gear box. Use the GEAR here and pull the string. This will
reveal a secret passage. Go in and grab a FLOURITE from the buddha statue. You
might want to open that treasure chest. Yep. You now have the SILVER PLATE.
Next grab teh BYAKKO right next to it. Check your files. You should have all
the vols. of BYAKKO by now. Exit the room entirely and go for the other door
in the corridor that you didn't take. You should be in a run with three giant,
fire-breathing furnaces. Don't let the fire tag you. Go for the top left
and examine the tab. Pull on it and the door on the top right corner will open.
You must run for the door before it closes while avoiding the fire. You may
have to try it again. But when you get inside, pull the TAB to open it for
good! Grab the GOLD PLATE from the wall and destroy the crates to reveal an
HERB in the corner. Grab it and get out. Go back to the food storage room and
save your game.
Now, head all the way back to the gate that required the two plates to open.
Yes, you have them! Use the GOLD PLATE on the left and the SILVER one on the
right. Go through the door and you should be in a burning hallway. Yes, the
fire can hurt you so be careful. Go for the door immediately to the right. In
here, there's a FLOURITE next to the staircase. Go upstairs and you'll see a
trick treasure box.
===============================================================================
Puzzle: TRICK TREASURE BOX #4
===============================================================================
Turn these in order: middle once, right twice, then left twice. Voila! You'll
get the SACRED KNIFE, which is the strongest you can get for Kaede.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Return downstairs and exit to go to the burning hallway. There are some demons
in the way. Wait for them to come to you. They'll most likely step in the fire
and kill themselves. Head all the way to the end of the hallway until you reach
a room with several jars in it. A blue ninja will jump out and greet you. Take
care of him and break open the jars to reveal a treasure chest. Get some KUNAIS
from here and grab the GENBU on the bench next to the chest. Go back to the
entrance where you first came in from. Immediately to the left is a staircase
leading down to the basement. Keep moving forward until you see some tentacles.
Hack through them and keep moving until you see a violet cell. Examine it to
watch a cutscene. It's princess Yuki! Unfortunately, Guildenstern drags her
away and leaves you a present. This is not a boss fight. It's just another one
of his sick creations. It has the ability to cloak and can hit you hard if you
let him. Fortunately all of his attacks can easily be blocked. Just keep
blocking and WAIT for him to take a swing at you. Counter him. Watch a cutscene
and you'll switch over to Sam.
It's onto Part Five from here...

SAMANOSUKE RETURNS / WATER GARDEN
===============================================================================
General Area Tip: Don't waste your magic.Save it for bigger and harder enemies.
===============================================================================
*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*
$ As Samanosuke $
*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*
Sam wakes up in a damp, dark place. Press on forward until you see a savepoint.
Use your jewels here and grab the MEDICINE from the chest right next to the
savepoint. Enhance your items and weapons and save your game. Once all that's
done, keep moving forward for a boss fight.
#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#
BOSS FIGHT #3: STYLADO / EVIL SAMANOSUKE
#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#
Remember the guy who racked Kaede? Yeah, well. He's back and wants a piece of
good Sam. This boss is perhaps easy because you know yourself too well. He will
block virtually all of your attacks. And so should you. Keep holding the block
button and wait. When you see his arm glow, use your best magic attacks. The
RAIZAN works well. Remember to switch swords when one runs out of magic. Suck
up the blue souls that escape from the wall from time to time but be careful
not to let him tag you when you're absorbin'. You *should* come out of the
battle with none of your powerups used.Suck up the souls that was once Stylado.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you defeat him, the path that was once blocked by a red forcefield will
give away. But, you should go back to the savepoint and save. Now, head for
the opening. Follow the path until you reach two treasure chests. The one on
right contains the EVIL PLATE. The one on the left contains the ladder. No,
it's not a trick box although it does look like one. Turn left and walk until
the path ends. This here's a well. If you accidently cut the rope in the
beginning of the game, you can grab the jewel here. Use it. Use the ladder at
the end of the platform. Climb up.
** Note: If you need to get anything, this is the time to do it. Because after
stepping through the evil door, several paths of the Keep will be destroyed.
You're back at the keep. Go to the door with the weird, blue lock on it. Use
the EVIL PLATE. The door will unlock and you can go through. Watch the really
cool FMV cutscene and you'll meet up with Kaede. Unfortunately, the door to the
Realm of Evil is sealed with a red plate. You can't do anything right now. Go
to the main keep room and head for the savepoint. The weird, cocoon man will
drop down and invites you to the Dark Realm (look in the Dark Realm section of
this FAQ). If you have at least 4 MEDICINE and 2-3 HERBS, you're in good shape
for the Dark Realm. The last boss will be MUCH easier if you go through the DR
and get the special item that will help you get the Bishamon Sword, which is
the strongest weapon in the game. Anyways, save your game at the savepoint.
Enhance the SHIDEN and KOUEN and any available souls will go to your herbs and
arrows.
It's you objective to find a way to destroy the plate which is sealing the Evil
Realm's entrance. Head out the Keep and go through the green door. Kill the
baddies and enter the next door. Equip your bow with fire arrows (if any) and
aim at the guys on the roof. These archers can hurt. And note that you can't
block when your bow is equipped. When you see ninjas, immediately equip your
ENRYUU and take them out. Now with those done, look for a double door protected
3 blue magic. If your SHIDEN is not high enough, go kill baddies and enhance
it to Level 3. If it is, have your RAIZAN drawn and go in.
Directly to your right is a soul shrine. Go in front of it and hold () to suck
up some souls. There is a statue in the corner that is missing a head. Grab
the VISION STAFF from the treasure box and the GENBU on the table. Leave the
room. With the VISION STAFF in your possession, you'll have a much easier time
looking for FLOURITES. As you leave, there is a FLOURITE just next to the door.
Grab it and keep advancing until you reach the archery range. On your way,
there is a well to the left. You can go down and meet the cocoon man to go to
the DR here. At the archery range, there are some baddies. Kill them and head
for the ladder. Climb up and traverse the catwalk for the door. Enter the door
and climb down the other ladder. You should be in a save room. Save your game
and enhance the KOUEN. You need it at level three. Now, remember the triple red
door that Kaede ignored earlier? The one to the right of the ladder? Yes, you
can open it with the ENRYUU drawn. Follow the dirty path until you see some
demon soldiers. They can easily be killed by slashing the catapult. After doing
that, there is a FLOURITE that used to be underneath the catapult. Grab it and
go for the door that you see. Be ready for a mini-boss fight. Sam, meet the
bad boys from down under. No, they're not Australian...Whatever! The easiest
way to kill them is by using magic. Equip your SHIPPUU and unleash on the small
demons. Finish them off with teh ENRYUU. Then, go for the big meanie with the
RAIZAN. These guys can sting like a bitch. Be careful. After you defeat them,
explore the yard for three items: the STATUE HEAD, the BULLETS, and the DECORA-
TED SWORD. Now, remember the statue with no head? Go back there and use the
STATUE HEAD on the statue. This will allow you to get the MATCHLOCK. After
getting the gun, equip your bow and exit the room. Take out the demons that are
trying to snipe your head off.
Remember the gray door that was barred shut in the beginning of the game? Well,
go back there. On your way, there is a FLOURITE on the ground. Grab it and
leave. Anyways, when you get near the door, there will be a cutscene. Kill the
monsters and help out the soldier. Go in the newly cleared up path and use the
DECORATED SWORD on the plate. Step through it and you're in the Water Garden.
Just follow the main path until you reach a door with 2 wind crystals. When the
path branches left, do not go to it. Only Kaede can open the door at the end.
Equip your SHIPPUU to open the door. On the next path, if you head straight,
you will reach a dead end. *At the dead end, hit X and it will say something
about a bridge you can use if you had the right tool. Switch to your MATCHLOCK
with BURST BULLET, stand back and fire. Voila! The bridge is released and you
can cross. Look for a chest and grab the bullets from it. Slash this and VOILA!
Another TALISMAN. Head back out way before you found the secret bridge. Go left
until you reach a door. Rip the JOURNAL NO. 6. off the door and go through the
door. On the next bridge, you encounter some demons. Kill them and continue
past the building until you reach a shack at the end of the pier. Grab the
BULLETS from the chest and the GENBU on the shelf. Exit this building and be
ready to kill some more demons. Go in the next building and grab some more
BULLETS. Move up the ramp all the way to the roof. Ignore the slow dark
armored demons and go for the archers. They hurt more. On the roof, look for
your 13th FLOURITE, a MAGIC JEWEL, and a SOUL ABSORBER. Use the JEWEL immedi-
ately. After getting the three items, head all theway down the ramp again.
* Addition by: Joe Reichard [jrtrio@twave.net]
Use the SHIPPUU to open the door behind the ramp. Kill some more ninjas out
here and head to the left. Take the door. In the next area is a cloaking demon
that you need to defeat. Use the same strategy is with Kaede. Block, block,
block! After taking them all down, go for the soul shrine to suck up some
souls. Keep advancing until you see a water fall and a bridge. There are two
dark armored samaurais lurking around. One is directly in front of you and the
other one is on the other side of the bridge. Now, walk to the middle of the
bridge and lure him across. When he walks towards you, run back and slash the
ropes. Be sure to suck up his souls. Take care of the other one. After that,
head behind the waterfall for a puzzle.
===============================================================================
Puzzle: TRICK TREASURE BOX #5
===============================================================================
This one's probably the hardest of all the trick treasure boxes. Turn these in
order: lower left once, upper right once,lower right once, lower left set once,
then lower right once. Ka-ching! The Great Armor. Equip it immediately.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, head for the door to your left from here. You should be in a magic mirror
room. Grab the medicine from the chest and go for the other chest for a jewel.
===============================================================================
Puzzle: SOUL CONTAINER FOR THE GAUNTLET
===============================================================================
This puzzle asks you what container is used to fill the gauntlet with souls.
The answer is the "Dragon Orb". Choose the 3rd and 6th choice and press OK.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save your game and head downstairs. You can't open the door that you see. Only
Kaede can. Grab another FLOURITE here. Board the boat and get to the other side
of the turret. Enter the door. Go all the way to the end and you'll find an
altar. Grab the GREAT BOW. Watch the cutscene and you'll switch over to Kaede.
It's onto Part Six from here...

WATER GARDEN (KAEDE)
===============================================================================
General Area Tip: Again, avoid the monsters to save powerups.
===============================================================================
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~ As Kaede ~
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kill the monster and head forward. Immediately when the path branches off, take
the path to the left. Pick the lock at the end and go through the door. Keep
moving and turn right. Head in through the double door. Inside, grab the HERB
in the right corner of the room and a FLOURITE by the door. Move in deeper and
slash through some urns to clear up a path. Get the Apocolypse #2. Leave the
this room and continue along the main path. Avoid the monsters that crawl up
from the water. Take the door and you'll find yourself on the same path as Sam.
Go for the waterfall, avoiding monsters on the way. Now, go to the other side
and go in the room with the magic mirror. Save your game. Enter the next door
using the SHINOBI KIT.
The next room is guarded by several demons. Avoid them and enter the door at
the end. Slash the screen and grab the arrows from the chest. Avoid the demons
once again and go for the door. You'll find yourself in a U-shaped room with
more demons. Smash the urns and get the KUNAIS. Follow the path to the right
and enter the door. It's a magic mirror room. Climb up the ladder and get a
FLOURITE. It's hidden under some crates. Also, grab the GENBU in the corner
and some HERBs.
Climb back down and go for the double doors at the end. Be ready to hold block
because there are archers at the end. Run down there and kill them if you want.
Turn left (ignore the double door for now) and enter the next door. Grab an
HERB, a FLOURITE, and a Suzaku. Go up the ladder and round the corner for the
final trick treasure box.
===============================================================================
Puzzle: TRICK TREASURE BOX #6
===============================================================================
Turn these in order: left twice, middle once, and right twice. Voila! You'll
get the DECORATED ARROW as a reward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this in your possession head for the ladder climb down. Avoid the ninja.
Exit the room and enter the double door you ignored earlier. You should see
the Statue of the East. Run around behind the statue and switch the DECORATED
ARROW with the GREAT ARROW. Get the GREEN KEY from the chest. Leave the room.
Go to the other end of the U-shaped room and use the GREEN KEY on the door.
Go down the ladder and board the boat. Examine the door and watch a cutscene.
Hmm, looks like Sam's in trouble. And is that? WASP!!! is coming...

BOSS FIGHT #4: HECUBA
#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#
She's not so tough. You can block most of her attacks. She is airborne and
sometimes will drop down and try to take a hit at you. She will also command
some drones up to get a hit at you. They are easy. Just switch to the SHIPPUU
and unleash the magic attack on them. Immediately after you do this, switch
to the MATCHLOCK with burst bullets and pump some lead into her. Clear out more
drones, fire. Reapeat. You should also block from time to time. The battle
should end with you fairly intact.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch the cutscene. Kaede will tell you she'd set some explosives. It's time
to ditch the place. Another cutscene will begin with you in the weapons storage
room. Go back out to the savepoint "Sentry Room". Save your game. You're at
the final parts of the game...the Realm of Evil.
It's onto Part Seven from here...

REALM OF EVIL
===============================================================================
General Area Tip: Hope you have fast fingers!
===============================================================================
If you haven't gone through the Dark Realm, now's the time to do it. The last
boss will be MUCH easier with the Bishamon Sword. Obtainable by getting the
BISHAMON OCARINA. And you get that by going through all 20 levels of the Dark
Realm. If you're just a sissy, head for the Evil Realm's entrance that was
sealed by a red plate. Use the GREAT BOW here to destroy the plate. Enter....
Once inside, you'll see a cutscene with Guildenstern. He insists that you will
ultimately fail and leaves you a present. It's an enhanced Marcellus! This
time, he's stronger and meaner than before.
#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#
BOSS FIGHT #6: MARCELLUS (SECOND ENCOUNTER)
#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#
Keep your finger on the block button. The strategy for him is almost the same
as with Stylado: block, counter with magic. Unleash all three of your magic
on him. After enough damage, he will drop his sword and shield and will grow
blades out of both his right and left hands. Ohh, scary. Neh...you can block
ALL of his attacks. Same as before, block and then counter. Don't worry if you
get your ass severly kicked. You still have a chance if you still have at least
one HERB and a MEDICINE.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once he's defeated,go back for the door and grab the MEDICINE from the treasure
chest. You can't miss it. With this in your possession, keep advancing. In
next room, you'll find a fountain in the middle and a savepoint at the end.
But first, notice the fingers on the wall? If you managed to go through all 20
levels in the Dark Realm, play the Bishamon Ocarina here. The fingers will curl
up allowing you to pass through. Go through! You should see a skeleton.
Examine it and...wow, a sword!!! SCHWEEET! This is the most powerful weapon
in the game. It kills any non-boss enemy with one swipe. HALELUJA! Anyways,
go back outside and save your game at the savepoint. Enhance all your HERBS to
MEDICINE! Also, go for fire arrows and burst bullets. Next, grab the DARK
REALM MAP and head through the door. You'll find yourself in a downward spiral.
Just continue straight, fighting enemies along the way. Grab two MEDICINES at
the end and turn left. Enter the big door and watch a really cool cutscene.
Engage Fortinbras.
#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#
FINAL CONFRONTATION: FORTINBRAS
#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#
Ohh, you bet it. This guy is a tough MF. But, if you have the BISHAMON SWORD,
it's a piece of cake!
==>If you got the Bishamon Sword<==
Get in close and just slash him for good! The /_\ button attack is the strong-
est. When you see purple dots hovering over you, it's time to back off and
hold block. You might also want to evade his laser eyes. After this, go back
in and cut him up more. !!IMPORTANT!! Whenever you see Sam got grabbed, MASH
those buttons like crazy or else you'll die. About 20 slashes would do it.
==>If you're just a sissy<==
Taking on Fortinbras without the Bishamon sword is not an easy task. Just get
in close and pound him with magic. Switch between swords. Evade the purple
dots same as above. Go back in and pound him some more. Repeat. Also, MASH
buttons to avoid the insta-kill. If you run out of magic for all three blades,
switch to the MATCHLOCK and pump some lead into him. If you run out of ammo, go
for the bow.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congratulations! You've completed the game. Watch the a really cool ending and
an epilouqe. Play it again if you've missed some FLOURITES. And...try to get
a better grade this time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
------------------------------ [ Dark Realm ] ---------------------------------
===============================================================================
The Dark Realm consists of 20 levels filled with enemies and little powerups.
You can also find some FLOURITES in here, vital if you wish to get play the Oni
Spirits mini-game. Explained later in this FAQ. Here are all twenty levels and
what to expect on them. If you manage to go through all twenty levels, you will
get the BISHAMON OCARINA as the fruit of your labor. This ocarina has the power
to unlock a door which leads to the BISHAMON SWORD, which is the strongest
weapon in the game.

---------------------------- [ Flourite Locations ] ---------------------------
===============================================================================
Scattered throughout the game are special rocks called "flourites". Finding
them is rather difficult by great rewards await. If you manage to find all 20
of them, a mini-game called "Oni Sprits" can be unlocked. Look in the "Oni
Spirits" section for more details.
- In the small shelves in the same room where you found the first Seiryu.
- Just after the first boss fight, break some urns and search the floor under
them for a flourite.
- In the Keep after running into Kaede with Yumemaru, you will find a flourite
in a small cupboard above the treasure box near the stairs.
- Go to the upstairs level of the Keep,and pass through the room just past the
red magic door on the catwalk. Step through the next room to find the
flourite under the stairs, near the treasure box containing the arrows.
- Go to the upper reaches of the Keep. You will find a flourite across from
Volume Two of the Seiryu, just after the cutscenewhere Kinoshita takes off
the building.
- In Keep Underground. Right across from the door that requires the Blue Key.
It's in the corner by the last samurai.
- In the same room where you found the Blue Key. It's right by the door.
- Enter the secret room using the Gear. A flourite is on the buddha statue.
- Step into the burning room with Kaede. Go in the door to the right. You
should be in a room with a narrow staircase. Next to the staircase are some
barrels where a flourite can be found.
- After obtaining the Vision Staff,a flourite can be seen blinking outside the
door of the room containing the Statue of the West.
- Go to the West Area. There is a flourite on the hill under the catapult just
outside the castle.
- Go to the West Area. This is a flourite blinking in the path on your way to
the room with the statue where you got the Matchlock.
- In the East Area when playing as Samanosuke. Ascend the big ramp up to the
roof with the big bell. A flourite is just around the bell.
- Playing as Samanosuke in the East Area. A flourite is on the pier prior to
boarding the boat.
- When playing as Kaede in the East, go to the room with the Statue of the
East. There is a flourite right by the door.
- When playing as Kaede in the East Area, climb a ladder in the bridge house
magic mirror room. Destroy the crates here to find another Flourite.
- When playing as Kaede, go to the room where you find the last volume of the
Suzaku. There is a flourite hidden in the same room.
- Sixth level of the Dark Realm.
- Eleventh level of the Dark Realm.

===============================================================================
As if finding the flourites was not hard enough! After getting all 20, the
game will have you play sort of a "speed trial" mini-game called "Oni Spirits".
The mini-game consists of 12 levels in which the last levels are very challeng-
ing. Completing all 12 levels will heap great rewards. By doing so, you will
unlock an arsenal of goodies to play in a new game. These include unlimited
magic and the Bishamon Sword! So, unlocking anything else in the game should
be a piece of cake.

+ B1aCkHaZ3's OPINIONS 9.2/10 (*****)
Onimusha was an awesome game during the long drought of killer hits for the
PlayStation 2. This was the title everybody was waiting for. Awesome story
and it's fun at the same time. The game's only flaw is the sometime annoying
freezes between pre-rendered screen.
The engine is very well defined and deep. A Samurai with swords of three
elements and has the ability to absorb his enemies' souls. Now, that's what
I call innovation!
The graphics are crisp and beautiful. I didn't realize how pre-rendered
backgrounds can look so good! The frame-rate stays at a constant 60-FPS with
no hints of slow-down whatsoever.
However,people who want long games should look the other direction. Onimusha
takes only 2-3 hours to beat for people who are going through it for the
second time. But with a replay value this high, I don't think you'll be
complaining about the length any time soon.
Bottom Line: GET IT! GET IT NOW!
