  beginning to write the full walkthrough

Put your game in the PS2 and let it load. Soon you will be at the Title Screen
and with two choices:

(LEFT)Begin from the start, if this is your first time, then you should pick
      this option
(Right)Continue on before, if you have a saved data, then you should pick this

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



You will first need a memory card. One can contain 99 saved data. To save your
game, it will depends on where you are: If you are out on the OverWorld, then
you can save as much as you want at anytime. If you are in a village or town,
then you should go to the inn or hotel to save. If you are in a dungeon, then
you will need to use the save point.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Tengai Makyou series uses its own sort of words, such as these ones:

Virtue: This is basically experience, you will need it to increase 'Grade'
Grade: This is basically level
Vitality: As it says, your HPs. If it reduces to zero, you can't fight anymore
Tech: This is required to use 'Magic'
Arrange: This revolves the turns in battle
Fighting Spirit: This is required to use Skill and Ougi
Skill: Special techs used in battle
Ougi: Special powerful techd used in battle
Magic: The magic used in the game, varies from heal, support or attack
Skill Efficiency: The target degree of each skill and magic that one should use
Coin: This is the currency in the game

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Basically, you just fight and win battles, get virtue and grade up. Grading up
and you can get new skills. To further strengthen yourself in battle, you can
buy weapons and armors, as well as items. All that required Coin and you get
those through battles mostly. However, you can also find those, as well as
differnt items, weapons and armors...etc There is also Accessories you can have
and you can also buy or find those, as well as making them at Craftsman House.

Skills, basically the more you use them, the higher the Skill Efficiency. With
the degree of the skills are max, you can mostly learn new ones, as well as new
Ougi. However, you would also need to Grade up as well for higher ones. You can
also Initiate the skills, but you would need the item "Skill's Approval".

Magic, you have none to begin with. Through out the game, you would find these
Hermitages of Tengu and each of those Tengu will give you a scroll then you
can equip them on characters just what you did with the skills, then use them
as many as you can to increase up the Skill Efficiency. Once that Efficiency
degree is max, you no longer need to equip that scroll in order to use it.

use skill, you will need to use D-Pad or Left Stick then press Circle to use

gauge thingy below the character name. It increases as you attack or receive
damage, it decreases as you use skills. If it's full, then you can use Ougi by
pressing the Triangle button. If more than one character has their Fighting
Spirit Bar full, then you can do Ougi Chain. When you have one character doing
an Ougi, if possible, the screen will pop up directions for you to do, such as
press L1 or R1. Ougi Chain can be very useful, because each has its own special
effect besides the basic.

A battle ends when you killed all enemies, or the enemies killed all of you and
that means Game Over.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Continue up to a save point. Cross the bridge and go left to another area. Go

Continue to the left. In the next area, save your game. Go all the way up and

path and you would see a mountaineering ascetic that give you "Famous Water".
After, continue to the left and take the right bridge first to a red item box
that contains a fearsome consecutive 1001 enemies fight. Yes, you heard that
right, 1001 enemies and no break at all. Avoid opening this item box, please.
You can not escape the battle once you opened it. But if you did, you won't
believe how much you actually have to fight, from this "Box of Veritable
Pandemonium":

1st Set of Enemies: 28 Akadama

(The rest is not available at this point since I died around there)

Anyway, continue to the south. At the intersection, take the right bridge to
an item box that contains "Broken Copper Halberd". Back track and take the
south bridge. Save your game and don't bother to go south at this point since
it's blocked at first. What you could do here is fight with the Poyopoyo. Kill
all of them down to 1, then they will call more, repeat. This could level up
and get some nice coins with this, besides, there is also a save point near.
Once you are done, use a "Return Stone" to warp back to the OverWorld or if you
don't want to waste any of those, back track your way out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Go up and get 3 "Copper" from the item box at left corner. Then head to the
right and continue along the path. Get the "Great Sword of Iron" from the item
box, then continue to the left. At the intersection, go left for another item
box that contains "Near-Broken Sword". Then go up and before the save point, go
right a bit for another item box that contains 2 "Refreshing Medicine". Go save
your game and up to north. Use the rock to cover up the lower geyer. Next, 2
rocks and 2 geyers. The item box contains a "Rusty Dagger". Then go north. Save
your game and go right that eventually leads to an item box that contains the
item "Fundamental of Power". Then go left from the save point, go south a bit
then to right for an item box that has 2 "Return Stone". Once you are ready for
a boss fight, head to north from NW. More scene then get near Ichimotsu for
more scenes. Then you will end up fighting Ichimotsu and side enemies. Use the
"Charge" + "Flash Slash" combo. If you have learned the skill "Defensive
Smashing", that's great. If you need to, use the Ougi "Surge Slash". If you
have already learned the Ougi "Halo Slash", that's great to take out the side
enemies and also damage Ichimotsu. Ichimotsu will mostly use "Possession" to
hide himself among the enemies. Then you should just take out the side enemies.
Once he shows up again, attack him with the above combo or use Ougi if you can.
Ichimotsu can attack 3 times so watch out your HPs. Heal if you need. After the
battle, more scenes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



To help Ichiyo, Tsugumi wishes you to get "Ten Thousand Life Herb" at Mountain
Kubote. Well, go there.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Well, if you follow this walkthrough then you have been here already. You know
your ways. The "Ten Thousand Life Herb" we are looking for is at the same area
as the red item box. Remember where you pass/go south from there, and meet yet
another intersection? Then you go right and eventually lead you to the item 
"Broken Copper Halberd"(a bit north of the save point at that area)? Left of
that "Broken Copper Halberd", check the sparkling redish herb then select yes.
You will obtain "Ten Thousand Life Herb". Then more scenes. Ushibouzu will join
the party. Use a "Return Stone" or back track out, before you exit out, there
should be another scene. Then back to Beppuchou.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Head back to the hotel. Go up to second floor and head toward Tsugumi for more
scenes. After, go down to the first floor. Go NW at the first floor to the
bath area. Now attempt to enter the Women's Bath and select the first choice
for more scenes. Now go up to second floor toward Ushibouzu for more scene.
After, leave the hotel. More scene and Ushibouzu will leave the party, so will
Ichiyo and Tsugumi. Now, time to go get Ushibouzu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



As you arrive, take couple steps down for more scene. Continue to the right and
another little scene. Now go up to the Moumou Temple for more scene. You will
end up fighting Shiromotsu and Kuromotsu. Clear the side enemies first. If you
have Ushibouzu with max Fighting Spirit Bar, use his first Ougi, "Purification
of Ten Thousand Thoughts". If you have Namida with max Fighting Spirit Bar, use
his third Ougi(if you have it), "Halo Slash". Once you clear the side enemies
out, focus on Shiromotsu first. Both Namida and Ushibouzu can use the "Charge"
+ Attack combo. Both Shiromotsu and Kuromotsu can use Possession, but if you
take them all out like you did with Ichimotsu, then they won't use it.
Shiromotsu is the one that can summon out more so that's why you should focus
on it first. Kuromotsu can be difficult since it uses magic and its special
move, "Hold Up The Dirty Hand". After the battle, more scene. Ushibouzu will
join the party. At the same area of Moumou Temple, there is a shop. Make sure
you buy a brush because you will need one later. Now head to Sunrise Village.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Go NE to the Village Chief's house. Speak with the Village Chief. He wants a
Moumou Temple brush, and what he wants could be random each time, so it might
depends. Give him the brush and you will get the "Resembling Flowers". Now head
to Hell Tour.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



At the first area, go to the right and as you get near, there will be another
scene. With the "Resembling Flowers", you can blow up the blocked path. Now go
right to a new area. Save your game. Staying in the mud here will lose your HPs
so watch out for that. To NW, there are item boxes that contain "Nectar Pill"
and 2 "Refreshing Medicine". At the NE part, there is another item box that
contains 3 "Bun With Hazardous Inners". Once you are ready, go north. Save your
game and go left a bit for a "Clear Decoration". And take the center path for
the boss fight against Kuromotsu and Shiromotsu again. It's the same fight from
before, if you can, chain up Ushibouzu's first Ougi "Purification of Ten
Thousand Thoughts" with Namida's "Surge Slash". This sure clear up the side
enemies quickly, as well as damaging the two bosses. After the battle, continue
to north to exit out to the OverWorld. Continue north to the Umesato Village.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



You can shop around here, but all old stuff. The house north of the inn, the
person named as Misato Baien will promt you with a choice, pick the first
optional to get "Essential Point of the Universe". There is also an item box
at northern part that contains 2 "Magnifying Glass". When you are done, go
north to exit out the village to return to the OverWorld. To the left, there
is another Hermitage of the Tengu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The tengu here will give you the scroll "Dull Power". Then return to the Over-
World and go north of Umesato Village to Mountain Inomure.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Go up. There is an item box to the left. It has 4 "Fur". Continue along the
path and save your game. Head up to the next area. Continue along the path to
the left, and by the intersection, go left for an item box that has 1 "Sunny
Scent Rice Cake". Continue to the right and go along the path to the next area.
At the top of the hill, go north. Continue along and head down the hill. The
item box here has the a "Skill's Approval". Continue and save your game. Then
go north. A fixed battle should trigger and Ichiyo will join in this fight.
After, Ichiyo will give you the "Letter From Mother". Then Ichiyo will join the
party. Continue to north to exit out to the OverWorld. Go left first to yet
another Hermitage of the Tengu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The tengu here will give you the scroll "Devil Wind". Then back out to the Over
World and go north of Mountain Inomure to Castle of Alteration.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



As you enter, more scenes. After, save your game. Enter at north. Continue up
and cut the cocoon to release the first child. You will get a "Shell".
