He is skilled with a sword, | | bow or rifle. With the assistance of an Ogre Gauntlet, he can use magic | | based attacks and consume the souls of freshly killed enemies for | | various uses. Samonosuke is the main playable character for the game. | | You'll be in control of him for about 70% of the time. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::::::: Kaede :::::::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Ninja Cutie | | Behind every great man is a great woman. Samonosuke is the great | | protagonist of Onimusha, and Kaede is his great female assistant. As a | | controllable character, her ninja training offers greater quickness and | | the ability to pick broken locks. When you're not controlling her, you | | can count on her to assist you in your quest any way she can. Oh yeah, | | she's also not too tough on the eyes. You'll get to control her for the | | few scenarios that you're not controlling Samonosuke. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::: Princess Yuki :::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Damsel In Distress | | Though she is not playable, Yuki is an integral part of the overall | | story. She has lived her entire life sheltered by her noble status. | | When she finds herself and her family in great danger, she turns to the | | only person she trusts, Samonosuke. Saving Princess Yuki is the focus | | of Samonosuke's quest, and as the intrigue and danger of her situation | | escalates, so does Samonosuke's role in the game. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::::: Yumemaru ::::::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Confused Teen | | Yuki has taken this orphaned farm boy under her wing. His bravery and | | love for Yuki leads him on his own journey to rescue her, but the evil | | samurai of the enemy Oda Clan have other plans for him. His refusal to | | allow you to help him will annoy you, but Yuki considers him to be her | | brother, and thus you must protect and rescue him as you do Yuki. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::: Tokichiro Kinoshita ::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Simian Fool | | This little monkey will keep popping up throughout your quest. He is | | quite vocal about the evil plans his master has, and attempts to | | recruit Samonosuke into the evil Oda Clan. You'll also spot him chasing | | young boys (Yumemaru) and peeping on Kaede. Okay, I'm making up the | | peeping part. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::: Nobunaga Oda ::::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Resurrected Slave | | Heading up the evil Oda Clan is the recently deceased samurai, | | Nobunaga. Though you see him killed in the game's opening cinema, a | | demon witch doctor has operated on and resurrected him. All it cost him | | was a promise to serve the demons as their slave. Not too shabby. | |_________________________________________________________________________| _____________ | | | 33333 | | 3 3 | | 3 | | 333 | | 3 | | 3 3 \========\ | 33333 :: MAGIC ::\ /==========================\============================================\ | | | Magic can be used to unlock doors, deal big damage, give you | | breathing room in battles and more. Utilizing this power requires an | | Ogre Gauntlet fitted with a Thunder Orb, Fire Orb or Wind Orb. This | | section will cover the different ways magic can be used and how to | | use your Orbs efficiently. | |______________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::: Thunder Orb :::::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | This gives you a very quick weapon, which deals a small amount of | | damage. It can be leveled up quickly and works great against nearly | | every enemy in the game. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::::: Fire Orb ::::::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | For strictly dealing damage, the Fire Orb is the weapon to use. Though | | slower than the other orbs, its attacks deal around double the Thunder | | Orb. When its been leveled up, a magic attack can take out the game's | | toughest enemies in just one or two hits as well as helping to cut boss | | battles nearly in half. The Fire Orb also has a wider attack range than | | the other weapons, allowing you to keep a little more distance between | | you and the enemy. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::::: Wind Orb ::::::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Although this is the coolest looking weapon of the bunch, it's probably | | the worst choice for straight up battling. It blends speed and power, | | but doesn't have enough of either to make it dangerous. It also has a | | small attack range. The Wind Orb should be equipped strictly for its | | magic attacks. Once it's been leveled up, it can be a lifesaver in | | multiple enemy situations, especially versus ninjas. When you're | | surrounded by bad guys, a simple wind attack can give you a healthy | | amount of breathing room and possibly kill a few of your attackers in | | the process. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::: Leveling Up ::::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | You will come across doors fitted with crystals. Some doors will have | | one crystal, others two and still others three. Each of your Orbs | | begins at level 1, and can be enhanced to level 2 and 3. If a door is | | fitted with one wind crystal, you will have to just have the Wind Orb | | to unlock it. If a door is fitted with two wind crystals, you will have | | to have enhanced your Wind Orb to level 2 to unlock it. A door fitted | | with three thunder crystals requires your Thunder Orb be at level 3 to | | open it.Besides enhancing the Orbs to unlock new doors, you will also | | want to enhance them to take advantage of stronger magic attacks. A | | level one magic attack will be limited in its range and attack power. | | Conversely, level three attacks will cover a larger area and deal much | | more damage. The damage a magic attack deals also depends on the level | | of the Orb's weapon. See the Enhancing section for more detail on | | leveling up your Orbs efficiently. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::: Other Magic Uses ::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | You'll find a few spots in the game where a fire attack can affect the | | interactive backgrounds. Where a standard attack can cut through wooden | | boards and wall scrolls, sometimes you can't get close enough for a | | standard attack. The range of the fire attack allows you to damage | | out of your standard attack range. Other items need to be set on fire. | | items One spot in the game requires you find a way to illuminate an | | area. A table full of unlit candles is just waiting for a fire attack. | | In other spots magic can be a great way to preserve projectiles like | | arrows and bullets. When enemies are above you, either on a ledge or | | roof, a wind attack can take care of them without forcing you to use | | up ammo. Magic can also be used to regain health and make you | | invincible. Absorbing Green Souls will fill up a meter in the top left | | corner of the screen. When all of the slots are full, pressing the | | White button will release your Gauntlet's magic, which will slowly | | raise your health and make you completely invulnerable to enemy | | attacks. This effect will last as long as the meter has Green Souls in | | it. Absorbing Green Souls during this time period will prolong the | | effect. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::: Magic Absorbing :::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Each time you use a magic attack, your magic meter will empty out a | | little. If it drops too low, you won't be able to use any magic 'til | | you refill it. There are no items in the game that can be used to | | refill your magic meter. Instead, you must absorb blue souls to get | | more magic. One way to absorb blue souls is to release them from | | demons. Killing a demon will release some sort of soul (either yellow, | | pink or blue, see the Souls section for more info). When you kill a | | demon and see the soul fragments release from them, activate the soul | | absorber on your gauntlet and suck them up.The other way to get some | | blue souls is to find a Magic Regen Point. At several spots in the | | game you will come across a never-ending supply of blue souls. If | | your magic meter is less than full, you will see the souls flowing | | from the regen point. They'll stop flowing once you've filled up, but | | if you use up some magic, it'll start flowing again. | | | | Green Souls are released from enemies when attacked, but unlike | | other souls, the enemies can absorb the Green ones to make themselves | | stronger. If an enemy is vying for the same Green Soul you are, tap on | | the A button rapidly to win the tug of war match. | |_________________________________________________________________________| _____________ | | | 4 4 | | 4 4 | | 4 4 | | 44444444 | | 4 | | 4 \============\ | 4 :: ENHANCING ::\ /==============================\========================================\ | | | Enhancing your Orbs is necessary for opening doors and continuing | | your journey. In order to make your boss battles (especially those | | late in the game) as easy as possible, you'll have to enhance other | | items. Taking part in the Dark Realm Mini-Game will require some | | extra enhancing, still. This section will show you how and what to | | enhance, and when to do it. | |______________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::: Where to Enhance ::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | You will be able to upgrade your Orbs, weapons and a few select items | | at the Magic Mirrors scattered throughout the game. When you access a | | Magic Mirror, you'll be given the option to Save or Enhance. If you | | choose the Enhance option you'll bring up a menu displaying the items | | you can boost. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::: Enhancing Orbs/Weapons :::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Enhancing Orbs is not an option, as you will have to level them up in | | order to advance through doors. The key to enhancing Orbs is in when | | you do so. Since there is only one door that requires a level three | | Wind Orb, and this door appears late in the game, boosting it to level | | three as soon as you get it is a great waste of your Experience Souls. | | Since thunder crystals are the first to appear in a pair, you'll want | | to boost the Thunder Orb to level two before any of the others. A good | | rule of thumb is to boost them up in the order you got them. Bring the | | Thunder Orb to level two first, then the Fire Orb followed by the Wind | | Orb. Then repeat this order when going up to level three. | | | | Another way to enhance weapons is to find out which one you're most | | comfortable with, and then sink all of your extra Experience Souls into | | boosting it. Some players will prefer the speed of the Thunder weapon, | | while others (including me) like the brute force of the Fire weapon. I | | don't recommend using the Wind weapon, as it lacks the speed and power | | to be very effective for battling. The Thunder weapon is the first you | | will acquire, so you may grow accustomed to it and not want to switch | | to the Fire weapon when you get it. Just a few battles with the Fire | | weapon, though, and you should be able to tell if it's right for you. | | You probably won't have a substantial amount of Experience Souls to | | sink into enhancing a weapon until you've acquired the Fire Orb, | | anyway. So once you get it, give it a few battles and see which weapon | | you'll be using mostly. Any extra Experience Souls you have after | | leveling up the required Orbs, put towards leveling up your weapon of | | choice. If you're using the Thunder weapon for all of your battles, | | it's much better to have it at level three than to have all of your | | weapons at level two. | | | | Level 1 -> Level 2 5,000 Souls | | Level 2 -> Level 3 14,000 Souls | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::: Enhancing Herbs :::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | An Herb only gives you a little bit of your health back, while an | | enhanced Herb becomes a Medicine, and a Medicine refills your health | | bar entirely. Since both Herbs and Medicines are limited, you don't | | want to waste them. You don't EVER want to consume an Herb if you don't | | have to, as it can easily be enhanced to a Medicine and provide more | | than twice the health refill. If you are very low on health and must | | heal, use a Medicine before you use an Herb. If you notice that you | | have a few Herbs but no Medicines, find a Magic Mirror and enhance a | | few of them so you don't waste them. If you don't have sufficient | | Experience Souls to enhance a few, take a little time to battle and | | collect some... it's worth it. | | | | Easy Mode = 1,000 Souls | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::: Enhancing Arrows ::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | You aren't going to be using a ton of arrows, so don't start enhancing | | them until you've got an overabundance of Experience Souls. Fire Arrows | | are much more powerful than standard Arrows, and they don't cost a lot | | of souls to enhance. So if you find that you're using them, or you're | | planning on using them in a boss battle, go ahead and enhance a quiver | | full. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::: Enhancing Bullets ::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | I've found enhancing Bullets to be a waste of souls and Bullets. | | Standard Bullets are a powerful weapon against tough enemies and can be | | very useful in certain boss battles. Enhancing them to Burst Bullets | | gives them a wider attack range but lowers they're effectiveness. A | | simple sweep of the Fire weapon or Wind magic attack serves virtually | | the same purpose, without forcing you to waste a Bullet in the process. | |_________________________________________________________________________| _____________ | | | 555555 | | 5 | | 55555 | | 5 | | 5 | | 5 5 \========\ | 5555 :: SOULS ::\ /==========================\============================================\ | | | The key to surviving the harsh world of Onimusha Warlords lies in | | the collecting of souls. At the game's onset, you'll be without a | | means of absorbing them. You find that in this state, you're just no | | match for the demons lurking about. A clan of Ogres with their own | | agenda deems you worthy of their magic gauntlet, and thus you are | | granted the ability to absorb souls. This section will cover what | | exactly souls do and how to use them effectively. | |______________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::: Where To Get Them ::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Souls are release from demons upon their demise. As the demon corpse | | falls to the ground, fragments of their tormented souls rise from their | | carcass. Your job is to suck them into your gauntlet before they drift | | off or dissipate. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::: What Do They Do ? ::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Souls come in three different flavors, and thus serve three different | | purposes. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::: Yellow/Vitality Souls ::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | Vitality Souls serve to keep you alive. Absorbing one of these will | | boost your health meter and help you live to fight another day. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::: Blue/Magic Souls :::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | What Vitality Souls are to your health meter, Magic Souls are to your | | magic meter. Each time you use magic based attacks your meter will | | drop. Absorbing Magic Souls is the only way to get it full again. | | Aside from being released from demons, there are Magic Regen Points | | in several locations where these flow in never-ending supply. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::: Pink/Experience Souls ::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | In order to advance through Onimusha's quest, you'll need to enhance | | your Magic Orbs. The only way to do this is to find a Magic Mirror and | | use experience points to boost them. The only way to accumulate | | experience points is to absorb Pink Souls. See the Enhancing Section | | for more detail. Aside from being released from demons, there are a | | few locations in the game where you can absorb Pink Souls from | | gauntlets that are on display. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /: Green/Invincibility Souls ::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | These can be released from enemies when they're attacked, or, if | | you're carrying some, released from you when you're attacked. Green | | Souls will be very important in your quest, as using them gives you a | | window of invincibility to attack with complete disregard for defense. | | Your health meter will also refill during this time. See the Magic | | section for more information. | |_________________________________________________________________________| _____________ | | | 66666 | | 66 | | 66 | | 666666 | | 66 66 | | 66 66 \=========\ | 66666 :: ITEMS ::\ /===========================\===========================================\ ____________________________ / \ /:::::::: Battle Items ::::::::\ _____________________________________/ \__ | | | -- Normal Armor -- | | You start the game with this armor. It's your average run of the mill | | armor. Look to upgrade soon. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Ninja Suit -- | | This has a greater defense rating than the Normal Armor and an added | | bonus. It keeps Gyaran from locking onto your gauntlet and stealing | | souls. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Metal Armor -- | | This has a higher defensive rating than the Normal Armor and Ninja | | Suit, but it lacks the ability to fend off hungry Gyaran. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Ogre Armor -- | | The best armor in the game, the Great Armor will help you endure | | attacks from tougher enemies and late bosses. Get this by completing | | all 30 levels of the Ogre Tower. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Herb -- | | The Herb is a low-level healing item. This will restore a small | | amount of vitality, but it can be enhanced to a Medicine. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Medicine -- | | Medicine is a high-level healing item, refilling your vitality bar | | completely. These can be found throughout the game or acquired by | | enhancing Herbs. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Power Jewel -- | | The Power Jewel increases Samonosuke's maximum vitality. These | | can be found in various locations and must be used from the | | inventory to take effect. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Magic Jewel -- | | The Magic Jewel increases Samonosuke's maximum magic. These can | | be found in various locations and must be used from the inventory | | to take effect. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Soul Absorber -- | | Though technically an item, the Soul Absorber can | | be one of the best weapons around. Throw this item down and it | | emits a blue ring. Anything that steps within this ring can be | | absorbed without fighting them. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Talisman -- | | A Talisman is the best healing item you can carry.

It's very weak, but you | | won't be fighting with it for very long. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Thunder Orb -- | | Your first taste of magic will be by way of the Thunder Orb. This | | sword is very quick, as is its magic attack. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Fire Orb -- | | This is the most powerful of the hand-to-hand weapons, and also the | | slowest. Players should pick either this weapon or the Thunder Orb | | to battle with, depending on whether they favor speed or strength. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Wind Orb -- | | This is the coolest looking weapon, but ultimately mediocre. It's a | | mix of the power of the Fire Orb and the speed of the Thunder Orb, | | but a watered down version of both. Its magic spell is fantastic, | | however, for taking out enemies around and above you. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Bishamon Sword -- | | The ultimate weapon of destruction, the Bishamon Sword is only | | available once you've reached (and are locked in) the Demon World... | | or is it? Check the Secrets section to find out how you can get | | yourself equipped with this sword at the beginning of the game. This | | weapon is by far the most powerful, killing off nearly every type of | | demon in one shot. It also unlocks all three types of crystal doors | | and uses no magic for its magic attacks. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Bow and Arrow -- | | This is great weapon for picking off low-level demons on | | higher levels than you. You can also enhance Normal Arrows | | to make them Fire Arrows, which are more powerful and can | | be a great weapon in late boss battles. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Matchlock and Bullets -- | | This ancient rifle packs quite a punch. When enhanced, Bullets become | | Blast Bullets and fire like shotgun shells, covering a wide range. | | Though the blade is a samurai's weapon of choice, the Matchlock | | shouldn't be kept holstered during tough boss battles. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Soul Absorber -- | | Though technically an item, the Soul Absorber can be one of the best | | weapons around. Throw this item down and it emits a blue ring. Anything | | that steps within this ring can be absorbed without fighting them. | |_________________________________________________________________________| _______________________ / \ /:::: Kaede's Weapons ::::\ __________________________________________/ \__ | | | -- Knife -- | | Standard ninja issue, the Normal Knife does little damage. It's light, | | and thus very quick, however, allowing Kaede to smack her opponents | | silly. | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Sacred Knife -- | | This is the same as the Normal knife, just much more powerful. | |_________________________________________________________________________| _____________ | | | 88888 | | 88 88 | | 88 88 | | 88888 | | 88 88 | | 88 88 \============\ | 88888 :: BATTLING ::\ /==============================\========================================\ | | | In order to successfully traverse the dangerous lands of Genma | | Onimusha, you must learn effective battle techniques. This section | | will give you some tips for making Demon slaying both easy and fun. | |_______________________________________________________________________| _______________________ / \ /:::::::: Attacks ::::::::\ _________________________________________/ \__ | | | -- Basic Attacks -- | | Both Samonosuke's and Kaede's standard attacks are a swipe with | | their blade. Tap the attack button and you'll string four | | of these swipes together. The first two attacks go side to side, | | the last two from top to bottom, bottom to top. This is important | | to keep in mind, as some enemies like Gyaran hover above the | | ground and force you to use the third and fourth attacks in a | | sequence to hit them. The first and second one's go below them. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Kicks -- | | Both characters can also drop weaker opponents with a swift kick | | to the mid-section. When in range, press down and attack and | | watch your enemy drop. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Deathblow -- | | Move Samonosuke right above an enemy who's floored and press | | attack. He'll plunge his sword into the demon and kill him with | | one shot. Stronger beasts may get up after a sword plunge, but | | they won't have much health left. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Quick Attack -- | | Using Samonosuke, hold down R1 and move just out of attack range | | from a demon. Press up and attack at the same time (while still | | holding R1) and you'll lunge forward and stab the enemy. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Sneak-Attack -- | | Again using Samonosuke, hold R1 but this time move | | close to the opponent. Pressing up and attack now will make him | | slash the demon from the floor up to his head. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Blood Necklace -- | | When controlling Kaede, engage a demon in a battle. When in close | | range press up and attack. She will do a flip with a twist, | | putting her behind the enemy and facing his back. If the enemy | | hasn't turned with her, she'll flip her knife and slit his throat | | in a very slick animation. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Getting Un-Caught -- | | Long-Arm Demons will be the first enemy that can grab you with a | | fist and pick you up. They will not be the last. Any time you | | find yourself in this situation tap on the attack button while | | pressing up and down on the D-pad as quickly as possible. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Locking Blades -- | | Occasionally you'll lock blades with a high level demon (like an | | Oowassha or Dark Armor Demon). Tap the attack button while | | pressing up, down on the D-pad. If you do it quick enough, you'll | | toss the enemy over your shoulder and have a chance to drop a | | sword in him while he's on the ground. If you're a little slower, | | you'll end up causing a draw, where you'll unlock blades and both | | take a step back. If you're really slow, or don't use this | | technique, the enemy will be the one knocking you on the ground. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Active Projectile Blocking -- | | Believe it or not, you can actually block projectiles like kunai | | and arrows by slashing them with your blade. The timing is tough | | to get down, but if you have something flying at your head and | | have to react quickly, try hitting the attack button. You may be | | able to slap it away. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | -- Power Slashes -- | | When using a sword, Samonosuke can power up the blade to do more | | damage and have added effects. Press and hole the X button and | | watch as the sword powers up three times. After the third power | | up, hitting an enemy and who has absorbed a Green Soul will knock | | the Green Soul loose and turn the enemy back to normal. | |________________________________________________________________________| _____________ | | | 99999 | | 99 99 | | 99 99 | | 999999 | | 99 | | 99 \===============\ | 99999 :: WALKTHROUGH ::\ /=================================\=====================================\ _______________________ / \ /::::::: Nanamagari ::::::\ _________________________________________/ \__ | | | Key | | [1] Door | | [M] Magic Mirror | | Y Yuki's Letter | | | | |-----------------| | | | | | | | \|/ | | /\ | v | | / \ | |[5]----| | | /- [6]\ | | | | | /- / | | | | | / / | | | | | / /- | | | | | | /- | | | | | / / | |----[4]| | | | | | | | | | / \ | | | | | | Y | | | | | | \ / | | | | | \ / | | | | | | | | |--------|--[3]| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |--------| | | | \ | | | | | \ \ | | | | | \ \ | | | | | \ \ | | | | | \ \------- | | | | | \ | | | | | | \--| | | | |-------| | | | | | | | | | |---[5]| | |----------[2]|---| | | ^ | | \ | | /|\ | |[M] \ | | | | | | | | |--------| / | | | | / | | | / | | | / | | \ \ | | \ / | | \ / | | \ | | | | | | | \ | | | \ \ | | \ \ | | \ \ | | -\ -\ | | \ \ | | |--| \ | | | \ | | | \ | | |-----| | | | | | | | |-----------[1]--| | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Cut-scene | | | | Beat on the Three-Eyes and they'll back off.

After doing your business here, go inside | | the large door next to the Magic Mirror [6]. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Boss Battle: Osric | | | | Osric has four types of attacks. | | 1. Double Swing: he swings his club like a tennis racket on his | | forehand, and then follows with a backhand. | | 2. Ground Smash: he swings his club straight down, trying to smash | | you into the ground. | | 3. Charge: he runs straight at you trying to drive you into a wall. | | 4. Uppercut: he swings his club from low to high, trying to | | knock your head off. | | | | Face him and allow him to approach you. Just like the Mini-Bosses | | before, he'll start to move his weapon just as he's about to | | attack. Again, jump back when he does this. If he attacks with | | a Ground Smash or an Uppercut, you can move right in and take a | | few slashes at him after the swing. If he uses a forehand swing, | | wait 'til he follows with the backhand before you move in and | | cut him up. This is a good time to use your lightning attack, | | too. After you slash him up a bit he'll get angry and raise his | | arms. This is your cue to get some distance, as he's about to use | | a Charge. As soon as he begins a Charge, run either left or | | right to avoid it, or face him, hold R1 and strafe left or right | | (see the Battling section for more details). He'll Charge a few | | times, then get tired and open himself up to an attack. Take | | this opportunity to do some damage and collect some soul pieces, and | | then begin the cycle over again. Repeat these steps 'til he's dead. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | When Osric falls to his death, he'll knock open a secret hallway. | | | | Go into it and pick up the Journal #2 immediately on your left. | | Continue ahead through the door [7]. | | | | Walk forward, break the vases and pick up the Fluorite from | | behind them. Continue ahead through the hall of skeletons and | | through the door [8]. | | | | Cut-scene | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Mini-Boss Battle: Reynaldo | | Reynaldo can be a tough cookie if you don't fight aggressively. | | What you need to do is immediately get in his face and knock him | | down, either with several slashes or with a kick. Once he's down, | | get over him and plunge your sword into him. He'll split into two | | pieces and reform into two Reynaldo. Continue attacking them | | vigorously and using the Sword Plunge when you knock them down. | | Each Renaldo will split at least one more time before it dies so | | don't stop attacking. | | | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | After defeating Reynaldo, walk up to the stone alter. You won't | | be able to read what's inscribed in it, but grab the Fire Orb just | | to the left of it. Leave the room the same way you came in. Move | | through the hall of skeletons, through both stone halls and back | | into the room where you fought Osric. | | | | There will be a few Gyaran here now. As you enter the room Osric | | will release his soul fragments and the Gyaran will suck them up. | | What you have to do is take them out one at a time. When one dies, | | they'll transfer their soul to another one. Upon defeating the | | last one, it will unleash a mass of soul pieces it's gathered for | | you to collect. Move over to the door with the Flame Crystal [9]. | | You'll use your gauntlet to unlock the door and return to the | | hallway with the Save Point. | | | | Turn left at the save point and continue through the hall to | | leave the tomb. Go back up by way of the Rope Ladder. | | | | Helpless Soldier: he's being attacked in the area just when you come | | up from the rope ladder. Help him and he'll give you a Magic Jewel. | | | | Go back through the door to the right. The door just ahead on your | | left has a Fire Seal on it. Now that you have the Flame Orb, you can | | unlock this door [10]. Do so, and go through it. | |________________________________________________________________________| _______________________ / \ /:::::: The Keep FL1 :::::\ _________________________________________/ \__ | | | Key | | [1] Door | | [M] Magic Mirror | | [S] Blue Soul Well | | >>> Stairs | | F Fluorite (2) | | B Blue Book | | Z Suzaka (2) | | T Trick Treasure Box | | C R.
