sequences.
Successfully complete the game
with an "S" rank by getting most of the Fluorites. Choose to start
a new game and an option for Kaede's new princess dragon design costume will
be unlocked. She wears a red skirt with little wings on the back and a small
tail.

trial mini-game: Collect all 20 Fluorites (blue rocks) during game play. Complete
and save the game. The Onimusha Spirits speed trial mini-game will be
unlocked. Successfully complete the mini-game to unlock an option to play
the regular game with the Bishamon Sword, unlimited ammunition, 99 Soul
Absorbers, and automatic magic regeneration.
Easy
mode: Start a game and die about ten to fifteen times. After enough
deaths, a message will appear, stating that a new easy mode is open. Note:
You cannot achieve an S rank when playing in easy mode.
Hint:
Bishamon O Flute: There are two places in there game where a very strange man
hanging from the ceiling by his feet stares at you and ignores you. Later in
the game, after you use the Evil Plate and open the door, he will talk to
you. The man will now take you (whenever desired), to the Dark Realm. In the
Dark Realm, kill monsters until two portals open; one to go up and one to go
down. Keep going down to the last level (9th or 10th) while collecting all
the items en route. Open the box on the deepest level to get the Bishamon O
flute. Keep the flute just before the last fight with the Demon King. It is
needed to get the Bishamon Sword.
Hint:
Bishamon Sword: In the Demon Realm (just after you destroy the Ultimate Creation)
is a save mirror and three doors. Go to the door that resembles an iron
gate. It will not open at first. Use the Bishimon O flute on it and enter.
Go to the Bishimon Sword jutting out of the Skull Demon wall object and take
it. It is more powerful than all three of your weapons put together, and it
has speed. The sword also has an unlimited supply of magic.
Hint:
Holy Armor: Go to the room where you and Keade get trapped in and you have to
pull the levers. Go through the levers. The chest that was in the corner
behind the bars can now be reached. Inside the chest is the Holy Armor.
Hint:
Better gauntlet: Reach 20,000 souls and when you go to enhance you will have a
better gauntlet. Go when you have 50 to get the Golden Ogre Gauntlet.
Capture 50,000 souls to get an
even better gauntlet.
Hint:
Enhancing: When enhancing, collect about 25,000 souls. The number next to
the soul meter should say 25. Enhance all of your weapons and Orbs to level
two. After collecting the Wind Orb, use the remaining souls to bring that to
level three, since it is weak.
Save your green and red mana
for the fourth sword. It can be found just beyond the destroyed master's
house (level four or five). By saving points, you can build the weapon up to
full immediately.
Hint:
Great armor: There is a chest behind the waterfall containing the great armor.
Hint:
Trapped floor sequence: When you get into the part where you have to go through traps,
you will get to a trapped floor section. When you get here, you will see
trapped floor parts marked with "X"s and "T"s. They are
set in a random pattern each time. While walking across, you will notice
that each different trap square makes other normal or trap squares fall in a
certain direction (diagonally, up, down, left, or right). Also notice that
they are always in an order to where you can get through. If you do not like
the selection as it currently appears, exit the room and go back in to
change it. Your main objective is to get to the square with an
"O".
Hint:
Medicines: Just before fighting Fortinbras, when you are going down the
spiral staircase, there are two Medicines. One is near a light about halfway
down, and the other is near the blocked off area at the bottom. They are
difficult to see.
Hint:
Flourite locations: Collect each of the following 20 Flourites to unlock the Oni
Spirits mini-game.
A Flourite can be found in
one of the small alcoves with brown doors near the Seiryu in the Under
Temple area.
Just after the Boss fight in
the South area, break some urns and search the floor under them to find a
Flourite.
In the Keep after running
into Kaede with Yumemaru, you will find the Flourite in a small cupboard
over 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 intermission sequence where Tokichiru takes off into the
night.
Go to the Keep Underground.
Head down the second hall of glass-encased red samurai. There is a
Flourite in the left corner, near the last samurai.
Go to the Keep Underground. A
Flourite is hidden inside the iron maiden in the same room where you get
the Blue Key.
Go to the West Area when
playing as Kaede. Find the secret room and use the Gear to enter. There is
a Flourite in front of the Buddha statue.
Playing as Kaede in the West
Area. Step into the burning room just past the gate that required the Gold
and Silver Plates. Through the door left of this entrance is a narrow
staircase. Next to the staircase in a heap of barrels, which contains a
Flourite.
Go to the West area. You can
find a Flourite just outside the door after obtaining the Vision Staff
with Samanosuke.
Go to the West area. There is
a Flourite on the hill with the sled 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.
Go to the East Area with
Samanosuke. There is a bell on top the roof. There is a Flourite In the
walkway around the bell.
Play as Samanosuke and find
the Flourite on the pier just past the Magic Mirror room in the East Area.
Go to the East Area. Just
when you begin playing as Kaede you will enter a shrine just past the
locked door you need to pick. A Flourite can be found on the floor just to
the right of 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.
Go to the East Area while
playing as Kaede. You can find another Flourite on a chest in the room
where you get the final book of the Suzaku.
A Flourite is in the sixth
level of the Dark Realm.
A Flourite is in eleventh
level of the Dark Realm.
A Flourite is in the
seventeenth level of the Dark Realm.
Hint:
Extra red souls: When fighting enemies around the floating blue skull-ball things,
allow them to absorb the souls that are released when you slay an enemy.
When you kill the skull-ball, you will get many more red souls than if you
had absorbed them directly from the demon.
At the end of the game, when
you are walking down the spiral pit, you will reach a pink and black blob
that squirts out the "squid" monsters. Stand slightly to the left
of where they land. When they are getting up (low enough that they are
off-balance, but high enough that your foot can reach them), kick them over
and stab them when they are laying down. You can easily get your red soul
bar filled up 30 times using this technique.
Hint:
Easy souls: If you are low on health at the end of the game before facing the
Boss go to the entrance of the keep for some battles. By now they should be
easy -- just absorb the souls to raise your health
Hint:
Defeating Marcellus: At the end of the game you should have all weapons and orbs at
the maximum. When fighting Marcellus again, kick him and use the Thunder
Orb's magic. For some reason, this is stronger than his other attacks.
Hint:
Defeating Fortinbras: Start off by doing any type of attack that will make Fortinbras
fall to the ground (special attacks will make this quick and easy). From
this point on, just keep kicking him to death. Press [Down] + [Attack],
move forward, [Down] + [Attack], and repeat. This will take
some time. You will never get hit, plus he will not be able to attack you if
you can keep the chain kicks going.
Use this strategy if you have
only your three normal weapons, and not the secret sword. Kick him, then
slash him with the Enryuu Fire Sword. It is the strongest. Give him about
five kicks and then deliver a Thunder Orb magic. Repeat this until you have
no more Thunder magic remaining. Then, use the Wind Orb magic to knock him
down. Use the Fire Orb and some kicks. Most of his attacks are easy to
dodge, except the fire.
Hint:
Defeating archers: Use the following trick to save arrows/bullets and health when
facing archers. To kill archers on roofs without being in their line of fire
and using up your arrows or bullets, run directly under them where they
cannot shoot you and use a Wind spell. It will reach high enough to destroy
them in one blow. If another enemy is directly under the archer, you can use
a Lightning spell on that target and it will kill the archer directly above
him as well. You can now save all but two of your arrows and all of your
bullets for the last three Bosses, where they are very useful.
Hint:
Double Dark Realm rewards: If you are proficient in the Dark Realm, go through it twice,
once from the Sentry Box room and once from the well in the west area. You
will only get the Bishamon Ocarina and the Flourites the first time, but you
can pick up Herbs, Medicines, and another Talisman on your second trip
through.
Hint:
Blinking eye: When you have an Orb in your gauntlet, stand still for a few
seconds and the eye will blink.
