Easy criticals hints and tips for Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams

Easy criticals

There are numerous good places to level up. However, one of the best at a fairly early stage of the game is the part before the stairs leading up to Hideyoshi (the first time), any time you are there. (there is a save point next to the stairs leading upwards)

When there, allow the enemies to attack the other character who is invulnerable whilst blocking. Wait for one to block, when this happens, charge him, kick his block, and tap square as quickly as possible, many times. This will cause a chain critical. Once this has been done, face the camera in the direction you wish the creatures to appear, and they will do so obediently, allowing you to destroy them again.

Similarly you could just use magic, but there is no guarantee of replenishing it once it has been utilised.

The best place to level up in the game is on the final charge against Hideyoshi, charging the castle, there is a room when all the "zombies" appear. Here, you can use magic aplenty, since it pretty much replenishes once it has been used due to the multitude of souls. Continuously chain critical the creatures and you get much soulage for power ups. In the next screen there is a save point directly to the right, down the turning.

*take note, the criticals and chain criticals will only work providing you have levelled up chain to a sufficient level, as well as critical, otherwise it will not be as effective. Max level will suffice*
