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...

===============================================================================
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...

#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#

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...

===============================================================================
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.

===============================================================================

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.

 - 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.

 - 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.

 - Seventeenth level of the Dark Realm.
 
===============================================================================
------------------------------- [ Oni Spirits ] -------------------------------
===============================================================================

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.

===============================================================================

Unlike my other FAQ, Fear Effect 2,I'll really reveal the ending this time. But
I must warn you. If you haven't seen it, PLEASE STOP NOW!  I am not responsible
for any pain and suffering this may cause.

+  ENDING

    - Sam puts away his sword and runs for Princess Yuki.
    - Kaede  runs in  and cut  away the  tentacles  holding  Princess  Yuki and
      Yumemaru.
    - The three runs out with Sam behind.
    - Fortinbras wakes up and grabs Sam, crushin his insides.
    - Sam spits out blood.  The blood got on the gauntlet.
    - Princess Yuki runs for Sam but was stopped by Kaede.
    - The whole place was falling apart.
    - The gauntlet  transforms  Sam into  a super samaurai warrior who yields a
      glowing sword.
    - Fortinbras go  for Sam.  Sam  holds his sword in  the way, cutting up the
      Demon King.
    - Fortinbras dies...Sam is now in his human form.
    - As for Nobunaga, he stands on Fortinbras' body and stares at Sam.
    - The two stares at each other.
 
+  EPILOGUE

    - The Saito family's legacy was no more.
    - Princess Yuki  goes to stay  with her cousin but  left one month later to
      see the world.
    - Yumemaru, under Sam's advice, accompanies Yuki on her quest.
    - Kaede never stopped looking for Sam. She was hired by a war general.  She
      died 14 years later in a war...
    - As for Sam...no one knows what happened to him...
    
   * And then there's a scene where Sam stares at a rolling hill...
 
OK, wasn't that fun?  I spoiled it  for everyone who reads this.  I feel really
bad...God, please don't make me do this again!

--------------------------------- [ Reviews ] ---------------------------------
===============================================================================

+  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!
