Hint:
Defeating Guard Dog: Note: This was done under the normal difficulty setting. First,
stock up on magic for all your weapons. Then, stock up on all the Purple
Souls. At the beginning, jump behind him after he attacks. Then, just waste
the magic on him. Use every weapons magic until you do not have any more.
After that, use regular attacks. Watch out for the ice attack. Most of the
time the thunder magic from him is off target. After a few regular attacks,
transform into the Onimusha and attack him hard. However, do not use the
mega attack yet. After a few attacks, just before your magic runs out use
the mega magic attack on him. If he is not defeated, then just attack him a
few more times.
Hint:
Defeating Nobunaga: When you are fighting Nobunaga when he is in his demon form,
press Square(2), Triangle. This is a great combo move, but do
not overdo it with him. When you absorb the darkness from his sword and you
get it, remember that some of his moves cannot be blocked (such as the
charge and the fireball moves). You can only block one or two. For the
charge move, press Triangle at the last moment when he is on fire and
you should dodge it. For the fireball move, just have enough space to run
around.
Hint:
Defeating Two Marquless: When playing as Michelle, go further behind near the skull door
and throw some grenades on them.
Hint:
Kill all Genma onscreen: This can be done without charging during an Onimusha. Also, block
Issen works during an Onimusha and takes out all enemies.
Hint:
Regain health: Equip Ako's White Haori then stand still.
When Ako's wearing the White
Haori, rotate the Right Analog-stick . Ako will move faster to regain
health quicker, depending how fast you can rotate. Note: Do not not use it
while you have five Oni Orbs.
Hint:
Deflecting critical hits: Repeatedly tap Guard until someone hits you. And as soon
as you see the flash, tap Square. Keep tapping Square to go
from enemy to enemy, racking up multiple critical hits.
Hint:
Bypass Dark Realms: Any of the three Dark Realms can be easily bypassed. This
requires some skill, Ako's Purple Vest, all weapons for the character, and
all weapons been completely enhanced. Whether or not the gauntlet is
completely enhanced is irrelevant. Before entering the Dark Realm, equip
either Chigo (for Samanosuke) or Hyosai (for Jacques). The enemies that
attack will appear in multiple waves. Just wait for all enemies to appear,
then execute one magic attack. Absorb all the souls that appear. Ako's
Purple Vest should allow you to do this as many times as necessary. However,
if you are fighting large demons, you may need to get up close with either
the Tenso (for Samanosuke) or the Enja (for Jacques). Note: A crucial part
of this strategy is absorbing the souls. If you feel that you need Ako's
Blue Vest as well, make sure to switch back and forth as appropriate. Also,
it is much easier to go straight for the bottom part of the Dark Realm that
you are in, as the tougher enemies are down there first. By doing this, you
can use your magic efficiently on the tougher enemies and not have to worry
about the weaker ones.
Hint:
Unlimited Genma Souls: After going through the first set of double doors where the Oni
Army is fighting the Genma, before using the Firefly to go up the short
cliff, have the Genma and and Oni Army men on the wall of the short cliff
and you as close as possible to the doors on the other side of the field.
The supply of Genma infantry are infinite and Oni Army can take care of them
by themselves. While they are fighting and nowhere near you, tape down Circle
and allow the game to run. The souls will come to you, and you can get as
many as desired without interruptions from the Genma. For a slightly faster
collection, have Ako's Blue Vest equipped. Note: The process of getting a
lot of bars filled of souls will take a long time. Also, when the soul count
reaches 9,999, release Circle. This gives you an additional bar (or
perhaps more) filled automatically. Then, tape Circle again. Given
enough time you can have 99 bars worth of souls.
Note: This trick only works for
Samanosuke. Once you obtain the Ten-Point Slash Training Scroll, play under
the beginner difficulty setting multiple times. Each time you finish, you
should come away with one bar, or close to it. Do this until you have the
desired amount of souls, or until you max all your equipment.
Hint:
Use less magic during magic attacks: This trick requires the gauntlet for Sam/Jacques to be at least
level 2. Charge up the gauntlet (press R1 firmly) to at least two and
unleash a magic attack. With the purple vest on Ako you can do about five
magic attacks in a row instead of four.
Hint:
Hidden Secret Medicine: When you are helping Michelle save her comrades, keep pushing the
ball as far as possible. You will see a light in the water.
Hint:
Easy Red Souls: Ako's Red Haori is required this trick. When you get to the port
town of Sakai and the demons come out to play, equip Ako's Red Haori. Start
killing demons with Issen or Block Issen. Clearing each area of demons
should give at least three quarters of a full soul bar. The port area is
most lucrative (one full bar every time because of the fish demons). The
Issen is not necessary, but it is most effective. You can upgrade all of you
present weapons to full with this trick, since one level 2 weapon/equip
requires about ten bars to level up to maximum.
Hint:
Jacques: Oni bind kick: Grab an enemy with Oni-bind as Jacques and press X.
Jacques will reel himself close to the ensnared demon and kick it to the
ground. Note: This does not work on large enemies -- ONLY the smaller Genma.
Hint:

Spinning Samanosuke and Jacques: Let the Jelly monster's babies grab you then press R1. You
