As the title has made clear, this tutorial will take you step-by-step through the entire process of gathering all goods, weapons, armors, files (books, notebooks, maps, etc.), Fluorites, and other gear.

Introduction

When compared to other games, this one is quite short. Assuming you are familiar with all of the hidden items and puzzle answers, you can finish the game in about 2 to 3 hours on average. If you want to gather everything in the game, including achievements and goods, then this guide is for you.

Part 1: Reunion and Separation

Consult these maps for part 1:

You began the game at a Keep entryway (Nanamagari). You will encounter two Three-Eyes ninjas if you simply follow the soldier’s instructions to head north. Just strike them as hard as you can; you cannot, however, kill them. Watch a cutscene where you rejoin with the princess Yuki after they have fled; you will then be given a gauntlet. Unfortunately, Osric, the ogre king, abducts her.

• Key Item: Gauntlet
• File: Instructions

Right next to the door is a Magic Mirror that you can use to upgrade your weapons and other goods and save games.
Once you pass a bunch of zombie soldiers, kill them, then enter the room by entering the door and continuing on the road. You’ll have to battle a different group of zombie soldiers inside. To start a cutscene, leave the room. One of the soldiers will point you in the direction of the forest, which is a straight route to the Keep. Kill the Three-Eyes at the entrance to the cave before entering the woodland. Grab Herb off the ground in front of the cave before you enter.

• Item: Herb

Inside, you will find a hole, examine it but don’t jump into it yet if you haven’t completed “Undying Summer” and “Fall’s Flight” achievements. Skip this part if you already obtained the achievements mentioned above.

• Achievement: Fall’s Flight

  Walk all the way back to the bridge where you first encountered a group of Zombie Soldiers. Stand on middle of the bridge for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, you will see geese flying and an achievement notification will pop up.

• Achievement: Undying Summer

  Going back to the forest in the second screen, stand near the 2 big trees on your right and press O to absorb souls for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, you will a beetle crawling up the tree and the achievement will be unlocked.

Now enter the cave and jump into the hole. Advance forward, kill some Three-Eyes, then pick up a map from a treasure box near the staircase.

• Map: Underground Temple Map

Go upstairs and examine the mummified statue to open the door behind, also you will receive Sougen’s Note automatically.

• File: Sougen’s Note

Enter the door you just opened. From Samanosuke’s perspective, turn right to the corner and kill a Zombie Soldier. In this corner screen, you will notice 2 small opened doors on the wall to the north and east. The one to the north contains A Fluorite.

• Item: Fluorite

Now turn left you will reach a dead-end with another small door on the wall, it is closed this time so open it to get Seiryu.

• File: Seiryu

Go to the opposite side, you will find a door, enter it. Inside this room, there are 6 blue jars, destroy the one at the top-left to reveal a treasure box. Next, pick up the Thunder Orb (Shiden) in the middle.

• File: Journal #1
• Equipment: Raizan (Shiden)

Continue the hallway to your left from where you picked up Thunder Orb, you’ll notice a large trick box.

• Item: Rope Ladder (Solution: left, right, left)

After you get Rope Ladder, continue upstairs. Immediately after you get out of the underground, you should notice a red box in front of Samanosuke. It contains Magic Jewel and you should use it immediately unless you are doing no upgrade achievement.

• Item: Magic Jewel

Now follow the path you’ll a puzzle box and Magic Mirror on the left side. The box contains Power Jewel (use it immediately to increase your health bar), then save the game.

• Item: Power jewel (Solution: 1st option, 3rd option, 6th option)

Part 2: The Keep

Consult these maps for part 2:

Examine the door with Raizan equipped. You’ll see all those weird slimes sticking to a door throughout the game. They are different in colors and numbers of the crystals. The colors represent the power of orbs (blue = thunder, red = fire, green = wind) and the number crystals represent the level of the orbs 1, 2, and 3. You can level up the orbs using Magic Mirror with red souls that you absorbs when killing monsters (note that the level of orbs and weapons are two different things). What you have to do to unseal it is to equip with a specific weapon depending on their color and met required level.

kill all monsters in this area, then open the box that is half hidden before a standing wood.

• Map: South Area Map

Proceed to the next area. This courtyard has a large platform in the center. From where you appear, turn left and walk a few screens, you will see a giant axe monster with a ghost flying, kill them and enter the door he guarded (I will call it green door). The one in the middle is sealed with level-1 red crystal, so you will need a fire orb first. After you entered the door, immediately rush to save a soldier by killing 3 Zombie Soldiers and he will reward you with an Herb.

• Item: Herb

Ignore the door in front of you for now, do you see a broken wall? walk to it and use Robe Ladder to get down. Keep walking until you see a Magic Mirror and a trick box.

• Item: Power Jewel (Solution: 6th, 1st, 4th)

Do not enter the door yet, turn around and you’ll see a huge wooden crate, destroy it to reveal a box containing Medicine.

• Item: Medicine

Save the game before you enter.

Boss: Osric

He is not very hard to fight, simply walking around and hit him after his last attack. He is slow so you have time to run and hit him.

After killing the boss, head into the hallway that have opened when he collapsed, there is a box contains the journal file.

• File: Journal #2

Enter the iron door and walk a few steps you will see 3 jars, destroy them and examine the ground.

• Item: Fluorite

Proceed to the next door, watch a scene, then kill Reynaldo. After that, pick up the fire orb. It will grand you a new weapon Enryuu, the second strongest weapon but it is heavy and slow to wield.

• Equipment: Enryuu (Kouen)

Note: I recommend you prioritize enhancing orbs first in this order because they are required to progress the storyline.

1. Fire orb level 2
2. Thunder orb level 2
3. Wind orb level 2
4. Thunder orb level 3
5. Wind orb level 3
6. Fire orb level 3

Then, you can start enhancing swords, bullets, arrows, and medicines last.

Now backtrack to Osric room, kill a bunch floating ghosts, then exit through the magic sealed door. This time you have to equip Enryuu to open it. Save if needed, then go to the courtyard and enter the main door with Enryuu.

Now you are in the Keep, there are 3 doors in the room, 2 side doors on the left and one main. From your left, enter the second side door you will find a Magic Mirror and a treasure box; you may also find a cocoon man, don’t worry about him.

• Map: Keep Map

Part 3: Trap, Trap, Trap!

Consult this map for part 3:

Now exit and enter the main door and watch a cutscene. During the cutscene, you can see a treasure box, so pick up it after it finishes.

• Equipment: Normal Arrows

Now that there are 2 more doors, go to the right first (the one without magic seal). Inside is a journal file.

• File: Journal #3

Get out of the room, this time enter the sealed door with Enryuu. Two Three-Eyes will welcome you in this room, so you know what to do. Proceed to the next area. Well, another cutscene with a kid and Kaede. Notice the main sealed by green demon plates? remember it for now. Continue the hallway and enter the wooden door. There are a few Zombie Warriors and a Three-Eyes, finish them. Beneath the staircase is a door leading to a small room. Inside is a big trick box (NOTE: DO NOT randomly attack in this room or you will cut a robe). Do not go outside yet, there is another file on the shelf.

• Equipment: Bow (Solution: left, right, left, right, right)
• File: Suzaku

There is nothing else in this room, so get out. Before you go upstairs, check out the treasure box in the corner for Herb. Above the treasure box is another hidden Fluorite.

• Item: Herb
• Item: Fluorite

Now go upstairs and enter the door right next to the staircase. Examine a bucket in the middle of the room for a Power Jewel. Remember I said not to cut the robe downstairs? 😛

• Item: Power Jewel

Get out and continue, kill some Three-Eyes. Two doors here, go to the level-2 sealed door first with Enryuu. In the room, open a treasure box for R. Crest Piece and pick up a Red Book on the table.

• File: Red Book
• Key Item: R. Crest Piece

Exit the room.

NOTE: Before you enter the double gray door. equip yourself with Bow and Arrows, you will need to help 2 soldiers outside. You only have one a chance to help them because they will disappear if you re-enter. The reward for saving them is an Herb and Magic Jewel. It’s probably safer to go back and save game to avoid missing these items. After saving them, wait until the items appear on the ground, then you have to all the way back to pick them up.

• Item: Herb
• Magic Jewel

Back to the where were, circle a little you will see another level 1 sealed door, open it. Kill all the demons inside, then advance to the next door. You’ll notice an obvious crate, destroy it to reveal a Normal Arrows box. The corner beneath the staircase is another Fluorite.

• Equipment: Normal Arrows
• Item: Fluorite

Now head upstairs. This room has a Magic Mirror, a treasure box, a file (right next to the treasure box).

• File: Byakko
• Equipment: Normal Arrows

Now enhance your weapons and save you game. Open level-2 sealed door and watch a cutscene. From this area, you will have to solve 4 different traps in order to move forward.

First trap:

• Step 1: there is only one lever, pull it up.
• Step 2: move Kaede to pull the right lever.
• Step 3: move Sam to pull another. It will trigger to open another section.
• Step 4: This section has 3 levers, move Kaede to pull the far left.

Move Samanosuke to pick up the Holy Armor from the treasure box then equip it immediately.

• Equipment: Holy Armor

• Step 5: Move Samanosuke to pull the right lever (the 3rd one from Kaede).
• Step 6: Enter the door, you don’t have to pull the last one.

Second Trap:

It’s pitch black in this room, so lit all the candle with your fire sword (press triangle button) then advance to next door.

Third Trap:

This one is easy too. Since the pattern is random, I won’t be able to help you much, so just be careful to not kill each other or it’s game over. The trick is you don’t have to move both of them to other end. Have Samanosuke move forward and have Kaede stepping on the same 2 tiles. After you reach the circle tile, step on it to disable the trap.

Yey! you made it. But there is another one!!!

Fourth Trap:

Follow the images below:

Walk 11. Water Trap – Move 15

You finally made it. Advance forward to the next door, then another door, you will see an obvious box on the wall with a string, pull it down to disable all traps you just went through. You might want to back to save your game at this point.

Part 4: Rescuing the boy

Consult this map for part 4:

Head upstairs and circling around, you will see a door, you cannot open it right now. There is a ladder at the corner, use it to climb down. When you see a prompt message, don’t go further down yet, circle around again to use another ladder to climb down again. From your point of view, move south (Samanosuke’s right) you will see a treasure box.

• Item: Power Jewel

Turn around follow the hallway until you see a door, examine it you’ll be prompted to open a latch, open it. Backtrack to the first ladder where it prompted you “Go up” and “Go Down”, choose “Go Down”. Inside the room is a box with another Crest Piece. There is a hanging paper on the left wall where you can cut through it to reveal a file.

Proceed to the next room, you will immediately notice a red book on the floor so pick it up.

Exit the room and continue further until you see a level 1 sealed door with green crystal, open it with Shippuu. Enjoy a very long cutscene which you cannot skip. You may notice a treasure box inside the room, Unfortunately, you cannot open it during the cutscene. After the cutscene is finished, you are back in room near the Keep. Well, I guess you have to go all the back to the treasure box. Remember the door which unlatched when you climb down a ladder? You can go through that way back. If you still have trouble, use map below and follow the red arrows.

• Item: Burst Bullets

Now go all the way back to the main hall (where you help the 2 soldiers using bow and arrows). This time, you’ll need to help another soldier. He drops Herb.

Exit the room and continue to the next door. In this room, there are blue flames on both side of the walls, at the end is a treasure box. Picking it up will trigger another trap.

• Key Item: Purifier Bell

Rotating blades? It’s a straightforward trap. Now that you have the Purifier Bell, you can open the ghostly-guarded prior door. Use the bell and enter while you are in your item menu. Three Samurai who are enclosed in glass boxes may be found in this hallway; you know what to do when they emerge. After killing them, proceed until you reach a dead end, where Fluorite is located in the left corner.

Part 6: Princess Yuki

You are now in control of Kaede.

TIP: Since you don’t have a gauntlet to absorb souls, there is no point in fighting the monsters. You should only run and fight when necessary.

Consult these maps this part 6:

Remember the door in the area with a soldier corpse where you picked up the Wooden Gear? Now go all the way back there and use the Gold and Silver plates to open it. Don’t forget to save.

Part 7: Dark Realm

Consult these maps for part 7:

Now you are in control of Samanosuke again. Walk straight, pick up a Medicine, and save your game.

Once everything’s done, keep moving forward. There is a boss waiting for your in the next area, but don’t worry you should be fine killing yourself.

It’s not really though, simply use all the magic on him and he will be dead in no time.

After that, advance to the next section until you see 2 chests.

• Key Item: Wood Ladder

Just turn a little bit left, you’ll reach a dead-end. Now use the wooden ladder you just picked up the chest here, then climb up.

NOTE: if you accidentally cut the robe early in game in the room above. you can still pick up the Power Jewel here.

Go to the green sealed room, use Evil Plate to open it. Watch a really cool cutscene (You know in the early 20s this was super cool). As Kaede said, you have to find something to break the seal and get into the Demon World.

Go back to the Sentry Room; side room #2 of Keep main hall. The moth man will automatically ask you to the Dark Realm but I recommend you choose “No” and save your game first, then re-enter and go to ask the moth man.

Note: you can go to the Dark Realm as many times as you want.

Dark Realm (optional)

This dungeon this optional but the reward is worth the run. Go to a save room with the moth man, save the game and talk to him, he’ll ask you to go to the Dark Realm.

Part 9: A Helpful Partner

Consult this map for part 9:

As I mentioned before when playing Kaede, she is not very strong and killing demons doesn’t give you anything. So I suggest you always run and only fight when necessary.

• Key Item: Decorated Arrow (Solution: left, left, mid, right, right, mid, mid)

Exit this entire rooms and enter the door you just ignore early. There is only one black treasure box in this room, the problem is you cannot open it yet. Go around behind the room and pick up the Great Arrow. It will trigger a trap so you need something to replace the arrow position. Now go to your menu and select Decorated Arrow. The black treasure box will be unlocked and the door are now opened.

• Key Item: Great Arrow
• Key Item: Green Key (black box)

Exit the room, be prepare to block another 2 arrows again. Kill the archers and go all the way back to the room where you picked up Kunai beneath a porcelain. Go to the other door and unlock it with the Green Key. Enter, climb down the ladder, board a boat, enter the door, and watch a scene.

Part 10: Enter Demon World

Consult these maps for part 10:

Back to Samanosuke. You started with a boss fight, good luck.

Boss: Hecuba

She is not very hard, but the most annoying part about her is her minions. Good news is Hecuba and those insects weak against Shippuu and Matchlock (Burst Bullets will help a lot).

Watch another scene after you defeated her. Again, you back to a safe room. Go to the main hall, where you can find a Magic Mirror inside. Replenish your magic and save your game.

Go back to the room where you used Evil Plate to open. With your Great Bow and Arrow in your possession, you’re now able to destroy the seal blocking your path to the Realm of Evil. Note that once you use the Great Bow, you won’t be able to come out. Now select Great Bow from your menu and watch a cutscene.

Boss: Marcellus

You already fought him once, this time he has 2 phases, the first is the same as the first encounter. The second phase is a little harder. Trust me, I beat this guy with a normal sword without taking any damage.

Pick up a Medicine from a treasure box after you defeated the boss.

• Item: Medicine

proceed to the next room, there you can replenish your magic and use Magic Mirror to save the game and forget to pick up a map right next to the Magic Mirror. While in this room, you should notice a narrow path blocked by 4 demon fingers? The most powerful weapon resides in there. Go to the menu and select Bishamon Ocarina to open it.

• Equipment: Bishamon Sword
• Map: Demon World Map

Now save your game and advance to the next section. With Bishamon Sword in your possession you literally kill any demon in one hit except bosses. Keep going downward in a spiral direction until you see an exit path. Pick up 2 Medicines at the end.

• Item: Medicine (x2)

The next room is the final boss.

Final boss: Fortinbras

Here are all his attacks:

• Punch and slap: can block, can dodge.
• Fire breathing: cannot block, can easily dodge. Simply running left and right.
• Lightning: cannot block, can easily dodge. Watch the lightning shadows dodge them.
• Laser: cannot block, can dodge. It is a little hard since the lasers are fast so make sure you watch the boss animation when he turn his body 90 degree, he will shoot the lasers.

Watch another pretty cool cutscene.

The End!!!

Oni-Spirits (mini-game)

A hidden mini-game is called Oni-Spirits. It will be unlocked if you have collected all 20 Fluorites and finished the game. What then is the prize? Maximum Mode. You start the game in this mode with the Bishamon Sword

There are 12 phases you must get through. In contrast to the typical game where you smash your way through, your only goal in this one is to break a specific number of vases that are assigned to each stage. You don’t need to worry about the game’s description being unclear because I will explain it below. The amount of vases you need to destroy is the only thing you need to be aware of at the bottom of the screen.

At the end of each stage, it will tell you how many vases available and how many vases you have to destroy, for example:

STAGE 1

SPIRITS 28 (total vases in the stage)

VASES 20 (total vases you have to destroy to complete the stage)

After you press Start button, you’ll see a number at the bottom of the screen, for example:

RELEASE 17 (remaining vases you need to complete the stage)

Before you start, I want to point out a few tips for you:

• Your HP will slowly decrease until you pass away or it will end after all of the vases have been destroyed. However, if there are still vases after the “Release” counter reaches zero, you will simply advance to the next stage once your HP is exhausted.
• Monsters destroying vases do not count; you must either do so before the monsters or eliminate them as quickly as you can.
• Pink Souls released after breaking vases are useless, and attempting to absorb them would just waste your time. The spirits of yellow and blue are what important.
• Beware of Stages 6 and 10. If you are not quick enough, you could easily fail one of these stages. The reason is that all of the vases must be destroyed.

To help you know ahead what to expect, I’ll list all stages information below:

Stage	Spirits	Vases	Items	Note
1	28	20	Herb
2	34	20	Raizan (Thunder Sword), Bullets
3	39	26	Matchlock
4	38	26	Bullets, Enryuu (Flame Sword)
5	36	28	Burst Bullets
6	6	6	Herb	Before the Zombie Soldiers arrive, dash forward and use Blame Sword to smash both vases in front of you.
7	39	32	Shippuu (Wind Sword)
8	42	36	Burst Bullets, Holy Armor
9	42	28	Burst Bullets
10	6	6	Herb	Quickly use Flame Sword special attack (press Triangle button) to destroy the 2 vases in front of you before the Samurai did.
11	39	30
12	44	36		Quickly use Flame Sword’s special attack to destroy two lines of vases in front of you before the Spike monster did.
