I don't know where else to list them, but here is a list of some useful 
combos. The legend is as follows:

[] = Square
/\ = Triangle

The names for the combos are all made up by me and will be used in the 
walkthrough frequently.

Arm Blades
----------
[], /\             = Stab Combo
[], [], /\         = Puncture Combo
[], [], [], /\     = Flipping Combo
[], [], [], [], /\ = Helicopter Combo

Sword
-----
[], [], /\             = Thrust Combo
[], [], [], /\         = Slasher Combo
[], [], [], [], [], [] = Assault Combo

And here's the walkthrough!

 TUTORIAL
=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-

Your game starts off in black and white (don't worry, your TV is fine, it's 
supposed to be black and white) with Hyakkimaru in a desolate town. Follow 
the voice's commands. He'll simply tell you the basics of the game and go 
over the controls with you. Once you've got everything down, head through the 
gate to the next area. For future reference, the green bar at the top of the 
screen is your health, the blue bar is your spirit meter, the red numbers are 
your cannon ammo, and the blue numbers are your arm gun ammo.

=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-

You start off with some enemies ahead. Practice simple slash attacks on the 
enemies. You can combine light and heavy attacks together for vicious combos. 
The enemies in the area show up on red dots on the map.

Take out the skeletons with sword slices and the birds by performing a midair 
slash (jump and press either attack button). Defeat all the enemies to gain as 
much EXP for your weapons. I suggest that you focus more on the arm blades 
than the sword at first. Head to the new area after the coast is clear.


=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-
 KAGEROU VILLAGE
=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-

Head towards the shiny umbrella-looking thing ahead. This is a save spot (and 
Hyakkimaru annoyingly needs to remind you every time you step in one). Step 
inside and open up the menu by pressing start. Here you can now save your 
game. Save and proceed into the village to watch a cutscene.

Your task now is to slay all the demons in the vicinity before you can 
continue on. Fortunately for you, only seven carrion beetles stand in your 
way. If you have it, try out your spirit attack to wipe most out in one 
devastating blow. Finish them off to gain access to a new area. Head through 
the town towards the exit.


=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-

=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-

No enemies here, woo! Save your game and head through the canyon to the shiny 
spot on your map. Once you're there, watch the cutscene and get ready for 
your first boss fight!

 | FIEND BATTLE: Great Horn                                       | Lvl. 1  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | First thing's first, the camera is different in boss battles. They focus |
 | on the boss at all times, and if you don't like it that way, click the   |
 | Right Analog to change it back to normal. The normal view is good for    |
 | scrounging around the area for breakable objects.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Bosses' health consist of three bars, a blue one, then a yellow one,     |
 | then a red one. Deplete the blue one to start on the yellow one, and so  |
 | on. Once the red bar is depleted, the boss is dead. Three bars, one      |
 | boss, one battle.                                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | This boss is somewhat tough for your first fiend encounter. Take out the |
 | carrion beetles so they don't get in the way after. The boss is most     |
 | dangerous when you're close by. His first attack is to swipe at you with |
 | his claws several times. Avoid it by staying away from the front of him. |
 |                                                                          |
 | Great Horn will also slam his hands into the ground and create a tremor. |
 | You can't really do anything about staying away from him, because if you |
 | keep your distance, he will jump over to you. You're going to want to    |
 | attack his back, where you are least vulnerable. Wait for Great Horn to  |
 | get ready so swipe at you, then run behind him and use a combo or just   |
 | repeatedly slash him. Stay away before he turns and slashes at you.      |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once you deplete the yellow meter, Great Horn uses a new attack. He will |
 | engulf himself in flames and hurt you if you're too close. Wait for the  |
 | flames to go down, then resume attacking him. Don't bother using either  |
 | your gun or cannon; save the ammo for more important uses. Once you      |
 | deplete the red meter, Great Horn dies and you retrieve your first body  |
 | part, your vocal cords! Now you don't sound like a robot anymore!        |
 |                                                                          |

Break the urns to collect various pickups, then proceed to the bridge for 
another juicy cutscene. Kill the eight Wandering Skulls ahead on the bridge. 
Make sure not to get surrounded and just slash away. Once they are all dead, 
Dororo, the self-proclaimed "World Famous Thief", will follow you around. 
You can't do anything with her now, so just let her tag along. Hey, at least 
she helps you out in battles! 

Head across the bridge and to the right down the ravine. Take out the 
Specters ahead and head into the river. Take out more Specters and Carrion 
Beetles in the riverside, then head to the shiny spot on your map for your 
next fiend fight!

 | FIEND BATTLE: Homonculus                                       | Lvl. 2  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | The battle will start off with the short, ugly thing grabbing Dororo.    |
 | Homonculus is extremely slow; you should have absolutely no trouble      |
 | avoiding his attacks. He starts off only blowing smoke at Hyakkimaru.    |
 | Simply avoid him when he starts to inhale. Run to his back and start of  |
 | hack away. Once you take out his first health bar, Dororo breaks free.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Homonculus is a bit faster now, and he has some new attacks. Now with    |
 | both of his arms free, he can punch and headbutt Hyakkimaru if you get   |
 | in too close. His headbutt is really strong, with such a big noggin, so  |
 | avoid the front of him close up at all times.                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Simply run behind him and use a flurry of sword strikes on him. This     |
 | fiend is a lot easier than Great Horn, and should go down quite fast.    |
 | Once you kill Homonculus, you receive your left eye.                     |
 |                                                                          |

That's the end of the Prologue. Save when you are given the chance and 
proceed to Chapter 1.

 3.02] CHAPTER 1                                                        [0302]

Watch the creepy cutscene that starts off for Chapter 1 until you regain 
control again. Yay, the world is so colorful now! You can now command Dororo 
to do specific commands. You can set her to stay close to you, attack 
enemies, search the area, or collect items. The riverside is a very big area, 
so set Dororo to search or collect items so you can keep your attention on 
the demons. 

Take out the enemies along the way while destroying urns for pickups. You'll 
find some new enemies here, such as Water Devils and Drecks, as well as the 
normal Specters. As you proceed through, you will reach a large stone. Walk 
up the side of it to reach the top, where you can find a new sword. Equip it 
and move on.

Keep slashing away as Dororo picks up the Jyukai's Medicines along the way.
Once you reach the save point, save your game and head up the steep pathway to
the new area.

Take out the Cursed Weeds and get the medicine before you head up the stairs. 
It's a long way to the top of the stairway, and it's littered with Wandering 
Skulls and birds along the way. Once you reach the top, cross the bridge and 
destroy the urns for pickups. Take out the Specters and Wandering Skulls and 
continue on to reach a town and start up another cutscene. After the cutscene 
occurs, a fiend battle starts up.

 | Wow, your first tough boss. Scourge is an extremely large beast with     |
 | hundreds of tentacles covering its face. It also has a long tail and a   |
 | large tongue used for smacking you, which means that staying the hell    |
 | away from it won't work. Start off by equipping your arm blades and      |
 | using combos to damage the monster.                                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | The best combo I found is by pressing Square four times, then Triangle.  |
 | Hyakkimaru should slash the best four times, then jump in the air and    |
 | spin around like a helicopter. I'll call this the Helicopter combo from  |
 | now on, and it seems to be the most useful one.                          |

 | Using the Helicopter combo constantly isn't the smartest thing. You will |
 | find yourself being smacked to the side by Scourge's long tail. This is  |
 | a perfect time to use up your ammo. Press L2 to ready your leg cannon,   |
 | then aim the target at the boss. Press Square or Triangle to fire a      |
 | cannon, taking a nice portion off of the boss's meter. Use your spirit   |
 | attack also to damage the beast significantly.                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow meter, Scourge starts to run on the wall.    |
 | Use your arm gun and fire as it runs in circles. It will stop and pause, |
 | ready to shoot an energy beam at your position. When it stops, run far   |
 | away so you don't get hit by the blast. When it returns to the ground,   |
 | resume slashing its side, not its head. When you face Scourge's head, he |
 | will shoot out his tongue at you, knocking you down.                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | There are urns scattered around the whole area, so change camera views   |
 | and stock up on Health and Ammo before you fight again. This is best     |
 | done when Scourge is running on the walls, because he doesn't have time  |
 | to chase you when you have your back turned. Once you deplete the red    |
 | meter, you will defeat Scourge, who retreats.                            |
 |                                                                          |

Watch the cutscene after the battle to play as Dororo! (she sucks, haha)

Crawl through the small tunnel until you reach a large room. Jump up on the 
first step, then watch the next ones. Spikes pop out of the steps after a 
couple seconds. Jump onto the step, but stay on the tip where you will be 
safe. Wait for the spikes to come up and retract, then run across and jump up 
to the tip of the next step.

Wait for the spikes to retract and head to the platform. Statues will shoot
flames at you from afar. Dodge the flames and head to the left into the next
room. 

Here, punch the skull statue to make platforms appear over the pit. They will 
disappear quickly, so first jump to the right. Collect the sword floating in 
midair, then continue across to the other side. Destroy the urns in this room 
and kill the Guardian Dogs. Watch out, for they spit fireballs and poison gas 
at you. I recommend jumping up and dropkicking them repeatedly. Once they are 
all dead, walk on the elevator to the upper floor of the manor.

towards the door to start up a cutscene. Yay.

Smash the urns here and look on your map towards the exit. Head there in the 
game and slash the wall to uncover a secret pathway. Head through to the 
village.

Follow the barricade around the manor and smash all of the pots lining the 
wall of the manor. Take out the Wandering Skulls on the way, and you should 
find a new sword at the south side of the manor by a dead end. Head to the 
gate and defeat the enemies in the way, then exit to the village. Head around 
the barricade to the back of the village to find an entrance to the Ancient 
Bamboo Thicket. Save at the save point and enter the forest.

Your task here is to follow the spirit of the Troll to the shiny spot. His 
spirit will be floating in the air and glowing gold. When you get near him, 
he disappears and reappears farther away. Keep following him to the end of 
the path. First, I'll have to pull you off course for a nice find. Smash the 
urns in the area and follow the Troll. When you get to the next area, take 
out the Specter Lords and head over to the waterfall. 

You will find a scroll. This is a new spirit attack technique. Equip it to use
a new attack when your spirit meter fills up. Follow the Troll to the next 
area and take out the tentacles blocking your path. You will find the Troll at
the end of the area near the shiny spot and he disappears for the last time.
Head to the shiny sport to start a cutscene.

You will have to reach Dororo's location before the time runs out. You may 
look at the map and see how far you are and think, "I'll never get there in 
time!". But then you see the time limit. You have 3:30 to get there. 3 and a 
half minutes is MORE than enough time to get there. Head to Dororo's 
location, but don't get caught up in fighting too many demons. Just take out 
the ones in your way. You will witness a cutscene when you reach his location.

Return to the shiny spot once again. You can get the scroll this time if you 
didn't before. Once you get to the shiny spot, you'll witness another 
cutscene and another fiend.

 | This large fiend holds a club in one hand and a staff in the other. His  |
 | main attack is where he swings his club at you. This only occurs if you  |
 | are right in front of him. Hellcrusher's next attack is mostly used when |
 | you are far away. He uses his staff to hurl fireballs at you. Wait until |
 | a magic symbol appears, then run away from your former position to avoid |
 | the attack. He can also jump and slam down on the ground, making an      |
 | earthquake that can damage you.                                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | Don't waste any ammo on this battle, just stick to swords. Use either    |
 | your arm blades or sword; the battle is easy enough for either. Run up   |
 | to Hellcrusher's back and attack, preferably with the Helicopter combo.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow meter, Hellcrusher starts to use a new magic |
 | technique. He now unleashes three blue fireballs towards your position.  |
 | When the symbol appears, strafe and run side to side to avoid all three. |
 | Return to pummeling him from behind. Don't get too caught up on the      |
 | beating, as he can easily turn around and smash you with his club. There |
 | aren't any urns to break here, so be aware of your health. Once you kill |
 | Hellcrusher, you obtain a new body part.                                 |

Head down the hallway, ignoring the first shiny spot. There's a guard past 
the door, so you can't enter yet. Head down the hall, defeating any enemies 
in your way, and head into the door leading to the next shiny spot on your 
map. Enter the room and defeat the Wandering. Pick up the shiny object on the 
counter to obtain a Silver Key. Exit the room and head through the hall down 
the stairs.

When you come down the stairs, turn right and head down the hallway. You 
should see a large silver door at the end. Walk up to it and press O to use 
the Silver Key. The door opens, so head inside. Kill the Wandering Skulls 
inside and approach the chest for a cutscene. After the scene, grab the smoke 
bombs, then return to the second floor.

 |                                                                          |
 | The Scourge is pretty much the same as you last encountered him, but he  |
 | lost and gained an attack. Instead of the energy blast, he now summons a |
 | bunch of bamboo sticks and slams them into the ground, usually in a      |
 | straight line. When you see the bamboo hovering in the air, run to the   |
 | side of Scourge to avoid impact.                                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | It is as dangerous as last battle, so stay away from the tail again. It  |
 | can easily smack you around with the big thing, and he can stick out his |
 | tongue so hit you with it. Attack Scourge with the Firestorm spirit      |
 | attack up close to take off a lot of damage. Once you deplete the blue   |
 | bar, you will see a cutscene.                                            |

 | Use your leg cannon ammo if you have any left, as well as your arm gun.  |
 | Use the Helicopter Combo on his side and back away before you get hit by |
 | his tail. Attacking the tail is more effective than attacking the head,  |
 | but it is more dangerous. Follow the strategy used in the other battle   |
 | to beat this fiend. Once again, when it is defeated, it will run away    |

 |                                                                          |
 | The Ogress likes to float around a lot, which is kinda lame. She's       |
 | quick, and you will find yourself chasing her around a lot. Her          |
 | close-range attack is a spinning punch, so you can't easily just run     |
 | behind her to avoid it. Slash at her back with short combos, such as the |
 | Flipping Combo, because she will most likely fly away in the middle of a |
 | long one.                                                                |
 |                                                                          |
 | Her second attack is where she charges up and unleashes a lightning bolt |
 | at you. It doesn't home on; just merely hits your position. When she     |
 | charges up, run over to her to get a nice long combo on her to smack a   |
 | lot of HP off of her. The Ogress is most vulnerable from behind, so      |
 | always attack her back when necessary. When she floats in the air, do a  |
 | midair slash to damage her.                                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | After you deplete the yellow bar, you will see a cutscene. The Ogress    |
 | changes her attack pattern after the scene. She will float high in the   |
 | air, so high that you have no chance of reaching her with your swords.   |
 | Use your arm gun or leg cannon to damage her. Ogress will summon some    |
 | Wandering Skulls to fight you, but ignore them.                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | Next, she will charge up and unleash a giant beam towards you. Run on    |
 | either side of it to avoid the blast, and she may even hit an enemy or   |
 | two. After she uses her beam, she will float back down to the ground,    |
 | where you can continue your assault. When the Ogress is killed, you will |
 | receive your left leg. The left leg lets you dash by pressing R3 (this   |

This area is a lot different compared to Yudai Village. Oh well, head down 
the dusty trail and take out the Hellhounds that approach you. You'll 
encounter Spirit Wheels, one of the most annoying friggin' demons in the 
game. They are covered in flames, so use the long reach of your sword to kill 
them, as opposed to your arm blades. Once you kill all of the demons here, 
save and head on through the gates.

Watch the next cutscene and get out your sword. Take down all the Wandering 
Deaths in the area here and hop on the stone across from the entrance. Hop 
over the stone and take out the Hellhounds. Continue down the path, killing 
more Zombies and Wandering Deads, then break the urn for a new sword. Equip 
it; it's the Sword of Clarity. Start heading backwards and jump on the ledge. 
Hop across to the other one and up to the platform. Take out the Zombies here 
and move through to the next area to watch a cutscene.

 | Note that this says "Boss Battle" as opposed to "Fiend Battle". This     |
 | battle is a non-lethal battle. Since Hyakkimaru was raised to kill only  |
 | demons, not humans, he cannot kill the samurai. You can only use your    |
 | sword in this battle, and you can't use your arm/leg cannon or spirit    |
 | attacks. Dororo cannot help you, but does he really ever?                |
 |                                                                          |
 | The samurai only has one attack: a three-hit combo. Run behind him and   |
 | give him a combo of your own. After a combo, keep your distance so he    |
 | doesn't turn and slash you. The samurai sometimes shoots you with fire,  |
 | so dash to either side to avoid. When the samurai rushes in for a combo, |
 | run around and slash him again. When you take out the yellow bar, he     |
 | starts to get faster. This battle is very easy, so you should have       |
 | little problem. Once you defeat him, a cutscene will start.              |
 |                                                                          |

After the cutscene, you gain control of Dororo. (ugh...) Save the game and 
take out the  Spirit Wheels. Use smoke bombs to stop the bastards in their 
tracks, making it easier to damage them without getting burnt. Jump on the 
ledge to the right of the save point and jump up the mountain wall. Leap onto 
the bridge and head across. Take out the Specters here and grab the scroll on 
the ledge. Drop down near the save point and leap up onto the rocks. 

Once you're at the top, head across the stone bridge on the far side of the 
area. Break the urns and take out the enemies. Go back across the bridge 
again and jump to the rock pillars. If you fall down, you'll end up in a 
large area filled with spirit wheels.

Just take the path back to the save point and head up the rocks again. Once 
you hop across the pillars, jump to the other side and battle the Cursed 
Weeds. Break the urn for a rice ball and chase after the samurai to the 
northern exit.

Approach the samurai to the left of the village to start a battle. The 
samurai won't attack you on normal conditions, and will only walk away from 
Dororo. You must hit the samurai's back to damage him. If you hit him in the 
front, he will counterattack and automatically hit you.

Don't use a combo, because he may turn around in the middle of it and pull off 
a counterattack. Punch once or twice, then keep following him. Once you defeat 
the samurai, you will witness a cutscene. Ooh!

You're still in the village, but now you are Hyakkimaru. Kill the zombies up 
ahead and follow the path that you took with Dororo, around the left side of 
the village. Smash the barrels along the way and break the urn near the save 
point for a sword. Save and break the barrel past it for a rice ball. Climb 
the stairs and destroy the Bloodweeds and Spirit Wheels. Enter the shrine to 
start a battle.

 | BOSS BATTLE: Possessed Dororo                                  | Lvl. 8  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This is a non-lethal battle again, and this time you're fighting Dororo  |
 | whom is possessed by the Dragon Brood. Dororo is incredibly fast, and    |
 | will flip around with his sword (why can't he flip around when you play  |
 | as him? :x) His first attack is a simple slash attack which starts off   |
 | with Dororo charging you, then attacking you.                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Dash behind Dororo and attack him. Be careful when you are right behind  |
 | Dororo, because he can do a backflip and slash you while doing so, so    |
 | you aren't necessarily safe when behind Dororo.                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Thrust combo is very helpful here, because if used from behind, you  |
 | will slash and thrust right in front of Dororo, evading his backflip     |
 | attack. It's also the quickest combo, leaving him very little room to    |
 | interrupt you. Dororo will also scream at you, which will stun you if    |
 | you're caught in the blast. (err, letters...) That's the best time to    |
 | get behind him and attack.                                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once Dororo is down to the red bar, he will start throwing his sword,    |
 | which will home in one you, even if you jump over it. The only way to    |
 | stop the sword is to get hit or to attack Dororo. When he throws the     |
 | sword, try to get close to Dororo and attack him to stop the sword.      |
 | Surprisingly, this is a very tough battle; it took me six tries to beat  |
 | him. Don't worry if you are dying; you will get the hang of the battle.  |
 | Once you defeat Dororo, a cutscene will occur.                           |
 |                                                                          |

 | First off, equip a sword that protects you from fire, such as Fire Sword |
 | +1. You don't have to necessarily use it, but it will protect you from   |
 | the flames. I had an easier time using my arm blades, so I recommend     |
 | that you use them for this battle. When The Giant Fire Wheel tires to    |
 | run you over, dash to either side to avoid collision.                    |
 |                                                                          |
 | Use your spirit attack and your leg cannon from a distance to start the  |
 | battle off. Now, just start to slash at the side of the fiend, making    |
 | sure to stay away from the front or back. It's very easy to touch the    |
 | flames and get hurt, so this battle is frustrating.                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once you land a combo or two on the Giant Fire Wheel, it will spin out   |
 | of control and land on the ground. When it starts to get up, attack it   |
 | using long combos.                                                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete Giant Flame Wheel's yellow bar, it gains a new attack.  |
 | Now it will engulf itself in flames and start to spin around in a        |
 | circle. This attack is very easy to avoid, so just stay away until it    |
 | stops. When the flames die down, continue to attack the side. After      |
 | depleting the last bar of health and killing Giant Fire Wheel,           |
 | Hyakkimaru regains another body part.                                    |
 |                                                                          |

 | The first part of this battle is very easy. His attacks are nearly       |
 | identical to when you first fought him (Masterless Samurai), but he's a  |
 | bit stronger now. Just jump behind him when he starts a combo and slash  |
 | away at his back. When you deplete the blue bar, a cutscene starts up.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Your arena now is a giant mud pit, which slows you down a lot. He        |
 | summons a shield around him which can damage you if you touch it. Wait   |
 | until it goes down, then attack his back. Dragon Brood can also jump in  |
 | the air and plummet his sword into the ground, causing spikes to rise    |
 | from the ground in either a line or a circle. Either way, stay away when |
 | you see Dragon Brood jump in the air. Here's a good time to use your     |
 | spirit attack. When you drain half of the yellow bar, another cutscene   |
 | occurs.                                                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | Now you will be in an area surrounded by large stone pillars. Dragon     |
 | Brood will teleport a lot now in this phase, making things a lot more    |
 | annoying for you. He will teleport right next to you and slash you, so   |
 | always run away when he gets close to you. Now is the time to use your   |
 | leg cannon and arm gun. Smash the urn at the end of the arena for a rice |
 | ball if you need it. Attack his back if you run out of ammo until the    |
 | rest of the yellow bar is depleted.                                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | The battle is pretty much the same, but now you're in an open arena.     |
 | Continue to slash at his back and use another spirit attack (you most    |
 | likely have gotten it again) and any ammo that wasn't used previously.   |
 | Once you deplete Dragon Brood's health, this frickin' battle is finally  |
 | over. Whoo!                                                              |
 |                                                                          |

Walk along the pathway and smash any breakable objects along the way. Take 
out the enemies in your way. Destroy the stone object near the temple 
entrance to find a sword. Equip it and head through the doors. Inside, head 
to the shiny spot to start up a cutscene.

Here you will have to fight 30 soldiers. You have to use your sword, because 
this is a non-lethal battle. They're pretty easy to beat; just use strong 
combos with your new sword. Make sure not to get surrounded, so dash to 
safety if you find yourself cornered. Once you defeat all 30 soldiers, watch 
the next cutscene.

Save at the save point and exit the temple. Head down the path, killing the 
enemies in your way, until you reach a village. Watch the cutscene that 
occurs once you reach the village gate.

cutscene begins. After the cutscene, follow the northern path to start 
another cutscene. You can head to the small area in the northwest area of the 
map to fight an optional boss, but I'll cover that in Section 4. 

After this next cutscene, grab the rice ball near the house and save at the 
save point near the gate. Head down the path and take out the enemies and 
head to the next area.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Twin Blade                                       | Lvl. 11 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Twin Blade is exactly like Great Horn and Goliath, so this battle should |
 | not be too tough. Equip a lightning sword but don't use it for the       |
 | battle; the arm blades are much better. He has all the same attacks as   |
 | the other two fiends, but one other that isn't a problem to avoid. Twin  |
 | Blade will pound the ground, sending out three energy waves. Jump or     |
 | dash to the side to avoid damage.                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | He swings his fists more than his brothers, but you shouldn't get hit by |
 | them. When he tries any attack on you, run behind him and start up a     |
 | nice, long combo. When your combo ends, Twin Blade will most likely be   |
 | knocked to the ground, leaving him vulnerable.                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar, Twin Blade will use a shield like his   |
 | brothers, where he engulfs himself in flames. Touching him when the      |
 | flames are up will damage you, so just stay away until the shield dies   |
 | down. Once again, get behind him and slash away. When he's knocked down, |
 | keep on him with the combos. He's an extremely easy boss; I beat him     |

Pick up the rice ball and save, then head through the next door. Destroy the 
clockworks and grab the throwing knives they leave behind. Equip them and 
throw them at a wall to use them as a stepping stone. Throw it at any wall 
and jump up to the top. Walk along the top of the barrels and destroy the 
mucks in your way. Hit the skull lever to unlock a door. Jump to the barrels 
lying in the middle of the room near the entrance to find a sword. 

Throw a knife to the wall to the north of the entrance and climb through the 
tunnel. On the other side, hit the lever and drop down. Head through the 
newly opened door to watch a cutscene.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Fire Golem                                       | Lvl. 12 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Hmm, his name is FIRE Golem, right? What does that mean? Slap on a fire  |
 | sword to minimize damage taken by him. Use the arm blades for this fight |
 | of course. Fire Golem's first attack is to shoot three fireballs out of  |
 | his mouth at you. Simply dash to either side to avoid getting hit. Most  |
 | of his attacks involve him using his mouth and shooting/blowing stuff at |
 | you. He will shoot out a wave of flames similar to a flamethrower in     |
 | your direction. Once again, just dash to the side and stay back.         |
 |                                                                          |
 | Fire Golem also likes to hop around and chant weird stuff a lot, so most |
 | of the time you can just run up and attack him without him even doing    |
 | anything. Use a good combo (Helicopter combo is pretty much the best one |
 | for any boss battle) and there is a chance that he will fall to the      |
 | ground. Even though he falls to the ground like in the previous boss     |
 | battle, stay away. Fire Golem will kick up to a standing position and    |
 | you will get hurt if you get hit with his big feet.                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | Fire Golem will use a new attack once you deplete the yellow bar. He'll  |
 | start to spin around very quickly and spin after you. He will spin for a |
 | long time and will cover a lot of distance, so always keep dashing away  |
 | from him. Don't stop until he stops spinning, or you will get hit and    |
 | take damage. Resume attacking Fire Golem and use your spirit attack if   |
 | you haven't already. Just like Twin Blade, this is another simple        |
 | battle. Once you kill Fire Golem, watch another cutscene.                |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Gaping Maw                                       | Lvl. 13 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | In all honesty, this guy is cake. Gaping Maw is incredibly slow and you  |
 | will find him just hopping around without a care most of the time. His   |
 | main attack is where he stretches his arms to smack you around. Dash to  |
 | either side to avoid his long arms. When Gaping Maw glows red, then get  |
 | out of the way because he'll start a big attack. When red, he will start |
 | to spin around and can really knock you around if not careful.           |
 |                                                                          |
 | The best way to deal damage to Gaping Maw is to simply run up to him and |
 | start a combo on his face. Sometimes Gaping Maw will teleport to another |
 | part of the arena, but he never goes far. He doesn't do much to defend,  |
 | so just hack and slash away until you take out two-thirds of his health. |
 |                                                                          |
 | When he's down to the red bar, Gaping Maw will start to run away like a  |
 | pansy. He's pretty quick and can kinda fake you out by turning the other |
 | way when you're next to him. As he runs away, Gaping Maw will regain     |
 | health, so stop him with an attack as quickly as possible.               |
 |                                                                          |
 | Gaping Maw also gains a new attack, which isn't very hard to avoid like  |
 | his other attacks. He will shoot laser beams out of his eyes which are   |
 | also very weak. Yawn. Just slice him to bits with your arm blades. This  |
 | is pretty much a joke battle; no real worries here.                      |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Mountainous                                      | Lvl. 14 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Huh, an arm?! That's what you're up against. This giant arm is very      |
 | large (obviously) and can go underground and pop out somewhere else.     |
 | Mountainous's first attack is simple: it will go underground and pop up  |
 | right under you. If the ground begins to glow, then he will come up from |
 | there. So make sure you're not standing on that spot or you'll get hit.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | When he comes up from the ground, he'll sometimes slap the ground and    |
 | rotate around. If you're near Mountainous, either get out of the way or  |
 | just jump over him when he comes around. Your main priority is to attack |
 | it with your leg cannons.                                                |
 |                                                                          |
 | Try to aim for the exposed flesh (the bright red parts not covered by    |
 | rocks) to deal more damage than normally. It can be pretty tough, since  |
 | he burrows all over the place. If you happen to run out of cannon ammo,  |
 | then use your sword.                                                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Mountainous pops from the ground, step on the rocks around him and  |
 | slash the exposed parts to deal a good amount of damage. You can also    |
 | use your spirit attack in this battle to get it over with faster. He     |
 | doesn't gain any new attacks or powers or anything like that throughout  |
 | the battle, so you can stick with the same strategy the whole way        |
 | through. Once you deplete the last bar of health, you win the battle.    |
 |                                                                          |

 | This battle is exactly the same as the other one except for one minor    |
 | condition. This fiend will now shoot fireballs out of the palm of its    |
 | hand. They are usually shot in three, so once you dodge the third one,   |
 | go in for the attack. You most likely don't have a lot of leg cannon     |
 | ammo (or any), so you will have to use your swords for the rest of this  |
 | battle.                                                                  |

 | Like before, jump on the rocky base when Mountainous pops out of the     |
 | ground. You will have very little time to attack the exposed flesh       |
 | before it goes underground again. This battle will take quite a bit of   |
 | time mostly because this guy doesn't give you a lot of time to attack.   |
 | Once you defeat Mountainous, you will witness another cutscene. Once     |

 | As opposed to fighting giant arms, this time you'll have to fight the    |
 | fiend's eye. It is located high up on the mountain wall and you will be  |
 | down on the ground. There's no way to get up to it, so you will have to  |
 | resort to your arm gun and leg cannon. There is a large rock situated in |
 | the middle of the arena which you can use to hide behind.                |
 |                                                                          |
 | Mountainous will pause and shoot out a laser from its eyeball. Dodge it  |
 | and retaliate by using a leg cannon on the eye. If you ever run out of   |
 | cannon ammo, then kill the Rock Golems to get more. Watch out for any    |
 | meteors from the sky and continue to blast the eye with your leg cannon. |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you reduce Mountainous to the red bar of health, the eye laser will |
 | start to follow you. Now when it shoots out, run behind the rock, the    |
 | wait until it stops in order to hit it with a cannon. It's not a very    |
 | hard battle, but it may take a bit of time if you keep running out of    |
 | leg cannon ammo. Like before, you don't get a body part since the damn   |

 | First off, head to the middle temple to find the heart of the fiend in   |

 | tough, so resort to throwing rocks at them as opposed to fighting them   |

 | When you go to grab them, tree roots will spring up from the ground.     |
 | Simply dodge them and grab the bombs. Return to the temple and equip     |

 |                                                                          |
 | It doesn't really attack you at all, but demons will come throughout the |
 | battle. When you run out of bombs, return to the small house and grab    |
 | some more. Return to the temple and use them. Two trips finish the job   |
 | and finally kill the fiend of the mountain. Now Hyakkimaru will get back |
 | his sense of pain. Now whenever you're hit, the controller will rumble.  |
 |                                                                          |

After the cutscene, exit the shack and explore the new area. It's pretty wide 
open, so you can pretty much roam around. But we don't have time for that! 
Drop down to the ravine and kill the enemies. Follow the pathway to the shiny 
spot for a cutscene.

You will have to battle Demon Foxes here. They are pretty fast and can dodge 
your attacks sometimes. Keep on your toes and dash whether you're dodging an 
attack or going in for the kill. Once all 20 are taken care of, jump up on 
the platforms of the wall and continue up, taking out the Demon Foxes along 
the way. Once you reach the top, you will engage in another Fiend battle. 
That was fast!

 | This battle can be pretty damn annoying considering you have barely any  |
 | room to attack. And to make things worse, this guy can fly in the air    |
 | and attack you from far away. Switch to a sword if you happen to have a  |
 | 5-Body Slasher. If not, then just use your arm blades.                   |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Three-Tailed Fox will run out in the air and shoot sickles at you.   |
 | Dodge all three and it'll run to the other side of the wall. Dash to     |
 | keep up and when you come in contact with it, start to slash at it using |
 | big combos. It will most likely teleport behind you and run away again.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Three-Tailed Fox also has another attack later in the battle. It     |
 | will stand across from you and shoot out three fireballs at you. They    |
 | aren't hard to dodge like the sickles, so use that time to dash up to    |
 | him and get a nice combo or two out of him. The battle against this guy  |
 | is very easy, but can take a while since you end up having little time   |
 | to attack him before he flees in the air again.                          |

You will engage in another non-lethal battle here with Daigo's soldiers. You 
will have to take out quite a few here, so use short and quick sword combos 
to take each out. Some of the bigger combos can kill a whole group, so use a 
full-out attack if you're surrounded.

After the battle, you will be treated to another cutscene.

=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-

You're back to playing as Dororo yet again. There is a save point up ahead, 
so save your game once you reach it. You will have to fight zombified village 
people in the next couple areas. They aren't too strong, but take them out 
quickly so you don't get swarmed by enemies. Go right and crawl through the 
small hole in the wall. Destroy the barrels for poison darts and head back 
through the hole. 

Equip the darts and head down the path towards a gate. You can't go through 
it yet, so just continue left and you should find yet another hole. Continue 
down the twisting walkway while killing any enemies in your way.  Proceed 
through the next hole and you will come out next to one more hole. Crawl 
through and smash the objects to find a new sword. Backtrack through the hole 
and head down the path to the next part of the town. Ugh, so much crawling...

Save and head down the path. Continue forwards at the intersection until you 
come to another one. Go right this time to find a door. Break it down to find 
a spirit attack scroll and some poison darts. Make your way through the next 
district. Your destination is in the northwest corner of the town. Once 
there, go through to the next section of the town.

Save at the next save point once you enter and watch the cutscene. Head to 
the shiny spot on the map for a cutscene. You can't get there just by 
walking, so you will have to jump from roof to roof in order to get there.

We're back to Hyakkimaru, joy. Save once you enter the area and proceed down 
the right path. At he intersection, go left to find an urn. Break it open to 
get another new sword. You should find a rice ball west inside a barrel. 
Continue west to get to the next area.

Head down the path to start a cutscene and a non-lethal battle. Take out all 
30 of Daigo's soldiers like the past times. Not tough at all. After, save and 
head south to the next area.

You will now be on a large bridge filled with enemies. There are soldiers in 
the towers that shoot you with arrows. You can't reach them, so just dash 
past. There are also spear guns usually pitted across from the path that 
you're taking. When they shine, they will about to get shot. Dodge the spears 
and continue straight to the next area.

Head left to the front of the manor and save your game. Check the stables 
(kill the enemies inside first) to find a new sword. Head up the stairs for a 
cutscene and a battle afterwards.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Six-Tailed Fox                                   | Lvl. 16 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | You'll fight this beast in the courtyard of the manor, which isn't       |
 | particularly big. The Six-Tailed Fox is identical to his brother         |
 | appearance-wise, but they use different attacks in this battle. His      |
 | primary attack is a simple bite; it's used if you come too close to the  |
 | fiend. He likes to teleport around the courtyard in order to flee from   |
 | you or to just use an attack.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | If you're far away, then the fox will use a laser attack. He shoots out  |
 | six lasers from his tails as they all home in on your location. Run      |
 | towards the creature to avoid getting hit.                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | His second laser attack is where he shoots two lasers at you; one on the |
 | left and the other on the right. They will slowly come towards each      |
 | other, so jump over one to avoid damage. It is best to target his tails, |
 | which will deal the most damage when attacked. Also, it will keep you    |
 | safe from his mouth which is used to chomp at you.                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar, the fox will modify one of its attacks. |
 | Now when using the two-laser attack, the Six-Tailed Fox will shoot an    |
 | energy beam down the middle. Just like before, jump over either laser to |
 | dodge the attack.                                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Chase down the fiend when he teleports all over the place and use your   |
 | map to see where he's about to go before he appears there. Dash to the   |
 | location and attack his backside. The boss isn't really that hard        |
 | anyways. Once you defeat the Six-Tailed Fox, you get your Pancreas back. |
 |                                                                          |

Head down the stairs again and save. You need to go to the left, but a 
strange force field is blocking your way. Don't run into it unless you want 
to get hurt. Head right instead to find a statue. Destroy it to break the 
force field. Now you can pass where it was and into the next area.

Continue down the road until you see the next force field. Go east at the 
next intersection and head to the left side of the map to find the statue. 
Destroy it to eliminate the force field, then return to where it was and pass 
through. Climb the stairs once you're out of the wooded area to the next 
section.

Once you first enter, go to the left wall to find a wooden wall. Slash at it 
to destroy it and drop down. Destroy the statue and get back up to the 
bridge. Dash through until you come to another force field. The statue is 
located in one of the towers, so take out the enemies first and use your leg 
cannon on it. Once destroyed, continue to the next place.

You will come to a barrier. Go west past it for now to find two more up 
ahead. Go north past these as well until you're behind the first barrier. 
Destroy the statue to eliminate this one, then head back to the other two 
barriers. Go east away from them again to find another statue. Destroy it and 
head to the top left-hand corner of the map to get the hell out of here.

 | Once again, we have a non-lethal boss battle. Snake Eyes Saburota is     |
 | very easy here, despite you can only use your katana. He wields a spear  |
 | and a sword, and will use both in battle. He will dash towards you and   |
 | lunge at you with his spear. Dash to either side to simply avoid         |
 | contact. Saburota will also use a two-hit combo with it. Once again,     |
 | it's nothing special. His last attack is a somewhat long-range attack.   |
 | He will use his sword to swipe at you, which stuns you if hit. Just run  |
 | behind him after his assault and give him a good slash or two. Just      |

 | Here we go with yet another easy non-lethal boss battle. Tahoumaru has   |
 | several attacks, but don't prove to be a threat in any way. Tahoumaru    |
 | can use a sword uppercut to knock you on the ground. He will also use    |
 | his sword to shoot a beam at you. It's probably the hardest attack to    |
 | dodge, but it doesn't deal that much damage anyway.                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | His basic three-hit combo attack can be easily dodged and is the best    |
 | attack in order for you do use an offensive maneuver. He will pause      |
 | after using the attack, so slash him head on several times to knock the  |
 | big guy over. Repeat this easy strategy to take him out. Yawn.           |
 |                                                                          |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Once you beat Tahoumaru, you will have to immediately fight a fiend.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Nine-Tailed Fox                                  | Lvl. 24 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This boss is certainly tougher than the past two fox fiends you killed.  |
 | The punk floats around for the whole battle, so having to jump to attack |
 | him is a royal pain. Equip the Fire Sword +2 (you got it in front of     |
 | Daigo's Manor, didn't you?), but don't use it. Switch to your arm blades |
 | for this fight. The Nine-Tailed Fox will send out six nasty fireballs at |
 | you. Try to just dash around the fox to avoid getting hit by them.       |
 |                                                                          |
 | The next attack down his sleeve is where he throws three flame-covered   |
 | blades at you. Just like the previous attack, dashing is your best bet   |
 | in order to dodge them. The hardest attack to dodge is where the fiend   |
 | engulfs himself in flames, then proceeds to ram you several times. He's  |
 | very quick when he attacks, so be on your toes and be ready to dash to   |
 | the side at any given moment.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Your best bet is to jump in the air and press Square to do a spinning    |
 | slash. You will see that you are pretty much dealing no damage to it!    |
 | Don't worry, it's normal. At first, you can barely damage the fiend, but |
 | continue the assault. After a little while, a cutscene will be           |
 | triggered. Now you can really hurt the fox fiend.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Nine-Tailed Fox will also summon small floating foxes whom shoot     |
 | fireballs at you. Take them out before you focus on the big boss. The    |
 | fox will now also shoot nine fireballs at you. Like before, do your best |
 | do dash out of the way. It may be hard, since you will have to stop and  |
 | dash between fireballs.                                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | First, you may want to use leg cannons against the Nine-Tailed Fox for a |
 | safer attempt at this battle. They pack a punch and will take a lot out  |
 | of his health. Once you run out of ammo, then you can resume to your arm |
 | blades. The floating fox minions will always come back, so remember to   |
 | eliminate those nuisances before attacking the fiend. It's a pretty      |

What a way to start off the chapter with a non-lethal battle! Take out 40 
soldiers this time to proceed to the next battle.

Here, you will have to kill a whopping 100 demons! Good thing they are all 
very weak demons, so you can take them out with one or two slashes each. Just 
go crazy on them and you'll be done before you know it.

Afterwards, save at the save point and go up the snowy path to start a 
cutscene. Smash the objects near the wall and destroy the yetis. Head up the 
mountain to the shiny spot to start a cutscene. Also, take note of the weird 
glowing statue up on the mountain path. You'll come back here later. Anyways, 
take out the pathetic enemies and slash the door to pieces. Grab the goodies 
around the area and drop down in the hole.

Run down the stairs and open the door at the bottom. There will be two draws 
to your left. Push in the drawers and a third one with an open drawer at the 
top. Push the box over to it and jump on it to reach the open drawer. Close 
the drawer and step on the three tiles in the middle to open the door. Head 
through the tunnel and hit the gong to open the door.

Save here and head up the staircase. On the upper level, run to the platform 
with the gong on it. Punch it to open the door across the room. Jump on the 
platforms until you get to the open door. Head through before it closes. In 
the next room, snag the rice ball and hit the next gong. Run down the hall 
through the newly opened room to trigger a cutscene.

where the trees were. Break the urn ahead for a scroll and go through the 
clearing for a "battle". *snicker*

 | FIEND BATTLE: Redcap                                           | Lvl. 25 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This fiend is a short little rat man with a very pesky staff capable of  |
 | unleashing magic attacks. Redcap will use the staff for all of his       |
 | attacks. First off, this guy frequently teleports all over the place in  |
 | order to try to get the upper hand. The first attack is where he will    |
 | shoot a ball of lightning in your direction.                             |
 |                                                                          |
 | Redcap also uses a defensive attack where he creates an electric barrier |
 | to protect himself. You can't hurt him in this state, and you will take  |
 | damage if you touch it. Wait until it disappears to resume attacking.    |
 | Your best offensive maneuver is to rush to his side or back and give him |
 | a good combo.                                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once you unleash some slashes on Redcap, he will fall to the ground.     |
 | Utilize this by attacking him while he's on the ground. Just keep on     |
 | knocking him over to quickly deplete his health.                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once you take out the yellow bar, Redcap will disappear and summon       |
 | hordes of animals. They are very weak and are usually something pathetic |
 | like otters, rats, or frogs. You can easily destroy them, and sometimes  |
 | they even drop goodies. Resume the attack when Redcap reappears. Redcap  |
 | will also try to whack you with the staff while teleporting.             |
 |                                                                          |
 | Overall, the fight isn't that hard at all, especially if you have a nice |
 | lightning sword equipped to minimize lightning damage. Redcap's attacks  |
 | are not too threatening and his pattern of attack is easy to memorize.   |
 | Once you defeat Redcap, he flees in terror.                              |
 |                                                                          |

Continue north down the path and save at the save point. Proceed through the 
cave and you'll come to a bridge. As you cross over the old bridge, you'll 
have to jump over the holes while avoiding attacking birds. Cross the bridge

 | FIEND BATTLE: Thunder Fiend                                    | Lvl. 25 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Just like Redcap, equip a lightning sword to minimize the elemental      |
 | damage. He's another floater, so use jumping attacks to deal damage to   |
 | him. I prefer the arm blades, but you can also do quick slashes with the |
 | katana if you jump and repeatedly press Square. Thunder Fiend's first    |
 | attack consists of him shooting lasers out that slowly move around in    |
 | random directions. They are easily dodged by hiding right under him.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | He will also beat his drums as he unleashes bolts of lightning at you.   |
 | Like with the previous attack, your best bet is to hide directly under   |
 | him to avoid contact with the electricity.                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | His last attack deals the most damage and is the hardest to avoid.       |
 | Thunder Fiend will cover himself with electricity and rush towards you   |
 | several times. He will speed towards you back and forth without proper   |
 | notice; he does it so quick. Try do dash and avoid it.                   |
 |                                                                          |
 | The best way to attack him is like I said, with jumping slashes. You can |
 | use either arm blades or your katana for both are very good in this      |
 | battle. Try to stay close to him most of the time so you can run under   |
 | him when he uses an attack other than the charge attack.                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you're standing under him, you can attack his backside to hurt him  |
 | while avoiding the attack. You have a large playing field, so you have   |
 | plenty of space to run around. If you like, you can also use your leg    |
 | cannon, but it isn't recommended (save it for a later battle). Once you  |
 | defeat Thunder Fiend, you get back your Lateral Muscles.                 |
 |                                                                          |

Destroy the statues around the shrine to get some items and a sword. Go 
behind the building and smash another pot for yet another sword. Continue 
towards the ledges and jump up them to the top. You will find a save point at 
the top, so save and head down the path. You will come to a large open area 
with many tiles on the ground. Take note of this and if you want to fight an 
optional boss now, skip to section 4. 

Anyways, head into the cave and go up the ramp. Take out the snow monsters 
and proceed to the exit across from the entrance. Save and go to the shiny 
spot for a cutscene and a battle.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Legion                                           | Lvl. 26 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Legion is a lightning-based fiend, like all of the other fiends here.    |
 | Equip a lightning sword to protect yourself from any elemental damage    |
 | during the battle, but stick with your arm blades for fighting. Just     |
 | like the Thunder Fiend, Legion also is a floating fiend.                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | Legion has six arms, and each wields a deadly weapon. He will use these  |
 | weapons to slash at you when up close. Another attack is where Legion    |
 | rises high in the air and crashes to the ground a second later. When you |
 | see him fly up, just run away and make sure to be far from the cast      |
 | shadow. The fiend will also shoot a lightning blast at you. When you see |
 | a glowing ring form in front of him, then watch out.                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | In order to actually hurt this guy, stick with the same strategy for the |
 | other mid-air fiends. Jump and press either Square or Triangle to simply |
 | slash him. it may take a while, but it's the best strategy. The arena is |
 | pretty annoying, since most of it is pure ice. Dashing on it does        |
 | nothing at all and can be a pain to try and fight the boss while sliding |
 | around. Try to stay on the snowy part to avoid problems and annoyances.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Legion's blue bar is depleted, he will gain an attack. Legion will  |
 | start to shoot yellow rings that circle around before hitting you. The   |
 | best way to avoid the attack is to run towards Legion and you should be  |
 | safe. Continue to use jumping slashes to deplete his health.             |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the yellow bar is depleted, Legion will add yet another attack to   |
 | his arsenal. Now Legion will shoot a laser beam out of him and'll slowly |
 | spin around as the beam protrudes from him. You will have to either run  |
 | away from it or double jump over the beam entirely.                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | This is a challenging fight that will take quite a while. You'll manage  |
 | to get your nose back after beating Legion. Now the controller rumbles   |
 | when around a demon. How useful...                                       |
 |                                                                          |

 | Redcap is more or less the same as the previous time you fought him, yet |
 | his attacks are a little different. Instead of shooting one ball of      |
 | lightning, he will shoot several at once towards you. When he shoots at  |
 | least one, you can slash him to interrupt the process. Sometimes he will |
 | only shoot one ball of lightning that travels on the ground. Don't jump  |
 | over it, because it will fly up and collide into you. Dash around it and |
 | get over to Redcap to hurt him some more.                                |
 |                                                                          |
 | The battle offensive wise is the same. Equip a lightning-based sword and |
 | run over to Redcap. Unleash the combos on him to knock the fiend over.   |
 | Keep attacking when he's down and the battle will be over quickly. You   |
 | receive your Left Arm after the battle. Now you can wield a katana as    |
 | well as an arm blade (the one still on your right arm).                  |

 |                                                                          |
 | That's right; our lovely swordswoman has been possessed by a fiend like  |
 | her brother and is going after Hyakkimaru. Of course, there's a big      |
 | level difference now. Most of her attacks still stay the same. Fiend     |
 | Misaki will still run at you and use a combo when up close. Misaki will  |
 | now also throw flaming knives at you. Both attacks are very simple to    |
 | dodge and shouldn't be a problem.                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Just because she's a fiend doesn't mean she is hard. Use the same        |
 | strategy on Misaki as in the last two battles. When she runs over to     |
 | attack you, get behind her and slash the hell out of her back. This      |
 | time, she doesn't fall to the ground anymore. When you defeat Fiend      |
 | Misaki, she will flee. That means no body part.                          |
 |                                                                          |

the game. Luckily, I'm here to help.

Here's a map of the Cursed Forest, because you will get lost without one. 

(Special thanks go out to DEngel, for his map of the forest helped me out in 
the game, as well as making this ASCII map right here.)

Pretty much all you should do is head to point J, where you can find a sword 
there in one of the pots. From there, head down to K and go up to the exit. 
If you want, you can fight an optional boss at point I, but I will cover that 
in the other section.

                                                    EXIT

Take out all of the enemies here, then proceed to the temple gates to start a 
cutscene.

You will play as Dororo, and will have to get inside the temple within 3 
minutes. The doors are locked, so you must get in from the roof. Head to the 
left and go around the wall. Jump over the holes and punch the cracked wall 
to break it. Head past and jump over the spike pit. Jump up from the pillar 
to a nearby tree. From there, you can make your way to the top of the roof. 
Attack the skeletons and drop down the hole to start a cutscene and a battle.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Midoro                                           | Lvl. 33 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | It looks like Daigo's horse has been turned into a fiend. It looks quite |
 | menacing, but you'll be surprised on how easy the boss fight turns out.  |
 | Midoro will spend most of the battle running around and teleporting      |
 | around the area. He also has two attacks which are nothing that you      |
 | should worry about as they are pathetic and weak.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | The first is where Midoro will inhale, then spew out a gust of wind in   |
 | your direction. The easiest way to not take damage is to run to the side |
 | or back of him when he uses the attack. He will also glow blue for a few |
 | seconds, then rush at you. Midoro uses this attack most when he first    |
 | teleports. He will usually teleport, then follow up by charging at you.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | Catch up to the beast and attack its side using combos. You don't have   |
 | to beware of any elemental weaknesses, so you can use any weapon you     |
 | like. Midoro doesn't gain any new attacks either through the battle, so  |
 | it's relatively the same the whole way. The battle is mostly just a game |
 | of cat and mouse: Midoro will run away most of the time; just chase and  |
 | beat him down. You will get back your Right Eye once you defeat Midoro.  |
 |                                                                          |

You will have the challenge of fighting 100 enemies. Like in Chapter 5, don't 
be intimidated. They are mostly all weak enemies; some stronger enemies 
appear at the very end. Once you kill all of them, return to the Cursed 
Forest.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Boar Fiend                                       | Lvl. 33 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Boar Fiend is the cousin of the Beast Fiend (an optional boss in Chapter |
 | 4). The battle is pretty interesting, since the creature uses explosives |
 | as his weapon of choice. Boar Fiend also carries around a saber, which   |
 | he will use as well.                                                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | Boar Fiend's first attack is where he will jump and flips in the air,    |
 | slashing the ground as he comes down. Only worry about this attack if he |
 | comes near you; you will be fine if you don't get hit by the saber.      |
 |                                                                          |
 | The fiend will use an attack which involves him jumping in the air and   |
 | slamming his butt into the ground, causing a shockwave. Boar Fiend will  |
 | use his backpack to release several bombs, which explode in a second or  |
 | two after being dropped. Not only that, but this boss will summon lesser |
 | enemies into the fight.                                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | Your best bet for this fight is to attack the front of the beast. It's a |
 | real pain to attack his back, knowing that as you're slashing him, bombs |
 | are falling from his backpack onto you. It's safer to just stay away     |
 | from the bombs at all times and stick to the front of him. After a bit   |
 | of getting whooped by you, Boar Fiend will start to run away.            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Don't chase him though, because he will drop bombs behind him as he runs |
 | around. Use your arm gun or leg cannon from afar to damage the big guy.  |
 | When you deplete the yellow meter, Boar Fiend will stop summoning weak   |
 | enemies and start to call forth Bloodstone Golems. They are tough, but   |
 | best if quickly taken out with leg cannons. The battle with Boar Fiend   |
 | is pretty neat, but you shouldn't have much difficulty during it either. |
 |                                                                          |

which ends the chapter. Now onto Chapter 7.

Turn around and go down the path and you can find leg cannon ammo. Continue 
to find some barrels; smash them to find a sword. Head back north to the 
town. Jump on the wooden wagon and make your way up to the roof. Here you can 
just follow the trail of Jyukai's Medicine over each rooftop.

If you fall, then you must find another wagon to get up on a roof. If you 
follow the Jyukai's Medicine path, then you should come to a roof next to some 
stairs leading up into the sky. Jump onto the stairs, then proceed up and save 
your game. Head down the road into the castle.

Take out several enemies here as you approach the front gates. Destroy the 
barrels on either side of the gate and head to the gate to start a cutscene.

You will have to fight a non-lethal battle with 30 of Daigo's soldiers. Take 
out the ones on the ground easily, and you will notice that there are still 
some left. Soldiers reside in the towers. In order to kill them, slash the 
four support beams of a tower to destroy the tower. Do this to all 4 towers 
to complete the battle. Once done, head through the door inside the castle.

You can find the Phoenix Sword on the left corner of the room. Make your way 
to the middle of the left side of the castle. Don't walk directly to the 
left, for there are flamethrowers sticking up from the ground on either side 
of you as you enter. If you walk over it, you'll get burned. Walk to the 
opposite side of the castle, then go around.

Jump up on the beam and up to the platform ahead. Jump to the platform to the 
left in order to save your game. Jump back over and watch out for the homing 
laser. Stay away from the crosshairs on the floor and you'll be fine. Head 
down the platform and enter the door across from where the save point was. 
Enter and head down the elevator.

In the next large room, you will have to fight a large number of Golems. It's 
best to just use your spirit attack to take most of them out. Once the room 
is cleared, grab the items and proceed down the hall. The next room is home 
to a horde of Drecks. They're a lot easier than the Golems and you should 
have little trouble against them. Once through, head up the next elevator.

Go across the platform and hit the switch at the end to move the bridge. Drop 
to the ground and go to the northeast corner of the room and hit the switch 
there. Note that you can't reach the area with the save point past it because 
there are flamethrowers that you can't get over. You'll have to find another 
way around. 

Head in the opposite direction towards the southwest end to find a ledge. Hop 
up to get to the upper floor and hit the switch here to rotate the bridge. 
Now you can cross the bridge to the other side. Hit the switch once over the 
bridge and enter the elevator.

This room is full of traps that you must avoid. Dodge the flamethrowers once 
they aren't firing and watch out for spikes. You can run under the spike 
traps as they pull back up towards the ceiling or easily jump onto the top 
part of the spike trap and travel to the other side. On the end of the room 
is a strange object. Slash it with your sword to destroy it, then return to 
the elevator.

your way towards the alcoves to find a new spirit scroll. Jump to the shiny 
spot and hit the switch. This opens a door back on the ground. Go through the 
door to find a save point. Save and head through the next door for a fight.

 | and grab the fire bombs.                                                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Dragon Tank will drive towards your location and stop. When it       |
 | stops, it will start to use a tail laser attack which deals a lot of     |
 | damage. Interrupt his attack by standing to his side and throwing a fire |
 | bomb at him. That should knock off his balance; throw one more at him to |
 | make him fall into the hole to the bottom. He's not dead just yet, so    |
 | there's no new body part.                                                |

Save here once more and go down the stairs to see a cutscene. Check all of 
the cells; one holds the Sword of the Twin Clouds. Head down some more stairs 
into a small room. You're better off just running past the enemies to the 
save point. Save and go through the next door for a cutscene. 

In this area you must rescue prisoners. Open all of the cell doors (some hold 
prisoners, some enemies, and one even holds a new sword). Check every cell 
for items and a sword. Once you free all of the prisoners, return back 
towards the stairs to start a cutscene.

The Dragon Tank will burst from a wall and start to chase you. Dash down the 
hall past the prison cells towards the door on the other side to start a 
battle.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Dragon Tank                                      | Lvl. 29 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Now you will have to fight the Dragon Tank for good! Dragon Tank will    |
 | continuously try to run you over most of the battle. He also uses its    |
 | tail laser like in the last encounter. Dragon Tank also shoots out fire  |
 | from his mouth. Run to his side or back to avoid the attack. When he     |
 | gets on his back wheels, then run out of the way before he charges.      |
 |                                                                          |
 | Since Dororo is a pansy, stick to fire bombs in this battle. Jump up on  |
 | the wooden boxes to find some fire bombs. There is a rice ball on the    |
 | other side of the room (remember, all items here respawn after a while). |
 |                                                                          |
 | All you have to do is continuously chuck fire bombs at Dragon Tank. He   |
 | doesn't gain any new attacks or powers through the battle either. It is  |
 | best to attack Dragon Tank when he's not moving. This is usually when    |
 | he's about to use his tail laser or flame attack. When he is stationary, |
 | hurl as many bombs as you can to deplete his health. Sure, you can also  |
 | punch him, but that deals barely any damage. Keep it up until Dragon     |
 | Tank is dead. Hyakkimaru will get his Teeth back once the battle ends.   |
 |                                                                          |

You will have to fight 10 of Daigo's soldiers in this narrow hallway. This 
fight is pretty neat if you walk behind the curtains and fight them, since 
you can only see silhouettes. Once you dispatch of them, go through the door. 
Take out the enemies here and go to the right down the hall. Enter the door 
to start a battle.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Demon Ogress                                     | Lvl. 37 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This battle is identical to the battle with the Ogress in Chapter 1.     |
 | Demon Ogress will float throughout the battle. Her first attack is a     |
 | simple spin punch that deals little damage. Simply back up to avoid the  |
 | close-range attack. Demon Ogress shoots lightning blasts out of her      |
 | hands, but it's weak and easy to dodge.                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Demon Ogress will also fly high into the air and charge up a big     |
 | attack. She shoots out a red beam at you. Not only is the red beam very  |
 | dangerous, but it will send out a shockwave too high to jump over. When  |
 | she starts to charge up for the attack, run under you and you will miss  |
 | the beam and the shockwave. Simply use combos to deplete her health.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Demon Ogress reaches the red bar, she will use a new move. She will |
 | float up in the air and start to heal herself. That's not very good on   |
 | your part, so interrupt the attack as quickly as possible.               |
 |                                                                          |
 | When she flies up in the air, shoot a leg cannon at her to stop her from |
 | healing any health back. Whenever Demon Ogress is high in the air, stick |
 | to your arm gun or leg cannon. When she is back on the ground, use arm   |
 | blade combos on her. You will get back your Lungs when you finally kill  |
 | the Demon Ogress. Good riddance!                                         |
 |                                                                          |

Jump up on the nearby box to reach the door above. Head through and jump over 
the gap towards the next door. Enter and kill the enemies here. Once disposed 
of, you can enter the next door to a room with a save point in it. Smash the 
barrels and save your game, then continue through the door. Dash past the 
flamethrowers onto the moving platform. Jump to the platform in the middle of 
the room to start a cutscene and a battle.

 | BOSS BATTLE: Snake Eyes Saburota                               | Lvl. 40 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Snake Eyes Saburota is a fire-based enemy, so the best sword to equip is |
 | the Phoenix Sword. If you don't have it, any other fire sword will do.   |
 | The arena is booby-trapped with flamethrowers all around, so stray from  |
 | the edges of the fighting arena. Snake Eyes Saburota has named his big   |
 | attacks, so you can refer to which one after he yells it out.            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Rain of Fire is where he will jump in the air and shoot a stream of fire |
 | at you. Don't run to the side, but dash under him and start unleashing   |
 | attack on him. Night Circle is where Saburota will spin his spear,       |
 | releasing a giant fire wheel at you. Dash to either side to avoid the    |
 | attack. Black Mist is the most noticeable attack to predict. Saburota    |
 | will jump in the air and yell "take this!". He'll shoot a massive amount |
 | of flames in your direction.                                             |
 |                                                                          |
 | Snake Eyes Saburota is as talented fighting-wise as Hyakkimaru is. You   |
 | will find yourself getting countered a lot in this battle. Saburota has  |
 | some devastating spear combos that can knock you over. Right off the     |
 | bat, use your strongest spirit attack on him. He will most likely dash   |
 | over to you and get ready to use a combo. Jump to get behind him and use |
 | a strong combo (Helicopter Combo for instance) to knock him down.        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Saburota will sometimes lure you over to the flamethrowers (for some     |
 | dumb reason, he can't get hurt by them but you can); don't follow him    |
 | unless you want to get torched. Stay to the center of the arena and      |
 | slowly attack him combo after combo. Don't be afraid to back off after a |
 | while to avoid getting countered. It's a pretty tough fight, and a very  |
 | shocking cutscene awaits after you defeat Saburota.                      |
 |                                                                          |

Save your game and take out the enemies past you. Exit through the door to 
the outer edges of the castle. Attack the demons here as you follow the 
platforms. Watch out for the spear guns and follow the way around the edge of 
the castle. 

Look on your map for a pair of white dots on your map. When you're at that 
location, drop down to a platform below and enter the door. Take out the 
Clockworks and hit the switch to move a door behind you. Go through and hit 
the next switch to move a door to your left. Enter and hit the switch, making 
it go into the ground. Go back to the previous room and hit the switch again.
 
Continue to the first room and head through the new doorway. Keep hitting the 
switch here until you can't hit it anymore and hit the next switch on the 
wall near you. Proceed through the doorway ahead of you and enter the door to 
the right. Smash the pot to find the Fiend Slayer Sword. 

Exit the room and head to the right for another battle with some demons. Take 
them out and grab the leg cannon ammo on top of the spear guns. Enter the 
room for another non-lethal battle. You should have little trouble disposing 
of Daigo's soldiers. Save and head through the doorway to the next area.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Chimera                                          | Lvl. 46 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | You would think that five fiends molded into one large fiend would be    |
 | tough, but you're wrong. Chimera will lunge at you in order to bite at   |
 | you. The Chimera also uses a meteor attack where it will sit on the      |
 | ground and rear its head up. Watch for the shadows to avoid getting hit  |
 | by the incoming meteors, because those suckers hurt.                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | When he sticks his tail into the ground, dash to the side because a rock |
 | will shoot out of the ground where you were standing. Chimera will also  |
 | shoot a beam of electricity out of its mouth, but you can avoid it by    |
 | getting away from its head.                                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | The easiest way to attack the beast is with your new sword: the Fiend    |
 | Slayer Sword. The best way to attack him is to slash at his sides using  |
 | long combos that deal maximum damage. It's best to always stay up close  |
 | to him because his close-range attacks are far weaker than his long-     |
 | range ones. If you successfully connect with a combo, it will knock him  |
 | silly, rendering him useless for a second or two.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Use this advantage to start another combo on him. He's most vulnerable   |
 | on his head, but you will have an easier and safer time attacking the    |
 | side of his head rather than his face. The Chimera is easy but won't go  |
 | down with a fight. It might take a little while, but it's worth it.      |
 | Since Chimera is technically five fiends fused into one, you get five    |
 | new body parts! Good deal, eh?                                           |
 |                                                                          |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o

 |                      Lacrimal Glands, Pituitary Gland                    |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Once you defeat Chimera, you will witness a cutscene and another battle 
immediately after.


 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | FIEND BATTLE: Fiend Tahoumaru                                  | Lvl. 47 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Tahoumaru has also been possessed by a fiend, and he's one tough cookie. |
 | He is a quick little guy, and he will sometimes dash towards you and let |
 | out a combo or two. If you are far away from him, he will shoot out      |
 | several lightning blasts at you. These can be avoided by dashing around  |
 | them.                                                                    |
 |                                                                          |
 | Tahoumaru has a strong sword swipe attack that can knock you right on    |
 | the ground. To avoid getting knocked to the ground, repeatedly hit any   |
 | button to land on your feet and go attack him without notice. Try to get |
 | to his back and attack him since you really don't want to be open right  |
 | in front of his deadly sword.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the blue meter, Fiend Tahoumaru will start to charge    |
 | himself with electricity and run at you. This attack can also knock you  |
 | over, so try to land on your feet if you get attacked. He will also      |
 | start to heal himself throughout the battle. When you hear him laugh,    |
 | attack him to interrupt the process.                                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | Like Chimera, you can disorient Tahoumaru for a second, leaving him open |
 | for a serious combo or two. The battle is very intense and may take a    |
 | while. Don't worry if you have to use an extra life either. Once you     |
 | defeat Fiend Tahoumaru, you will witness another cutscene.               |
 |                                                                          |

Well, that's the end of Chapter 7. If you happened to defeat all 47 fiends 
already, then you will witness a cutscene. Remember, to defeat all of them, 
you would have had to revisit some of the other chapters. I will cover all of 
the optional fiends in Section 4. If you did not, then you will watch the 
credits. After defeating all 47, you will open up the Final Chapter. 

After completing this Chapter, you will unlock Dororo Mode and the Gallery.


==============================================================================
 3.09] FINAL CHAPTER                                                    [0309]
==============================================================================

The final chapter only consists of the final fiend battle, but it is a doozy. 
There are some preparations that you should really have before fighting this 
gargantuan fiend.

 - Have max leg cannon ammo
 - Have at least three 1-Ups
 - Try to have max stats (not needed, but it helps)
 - Make sure you have Sword of Eighth Cloud

To find the Sword of Eighth Cloud, return to Chapter 7 and head to where you 
fought Chimera. You will find the sword floating in the room.

Once you're ready, select the chapter and watch the opening cutscene.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Behemoth                                         | Lvl. 60 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This fiend is by far the hardest in the game and is composed of several  |
 | stages. Make sure you meet the requirements above before challenging     |
 | this guy; you know, unless you want to die a lot.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | The first stage is the easiest. Behemoth will be flying in the air for   |
 | the whole stage and will fire energy blasts at you. Switch to a single   |
 | sword for this stage (it takes longer for Hyakkimaru to switch from arm  |
 | blades to single sword, then pull out the cannon. It's just a waste of   |
 | time) but you will be using your leg cannon the whole time.              |
 |                                                                          |
 | Behemoth will shoot out four fireballs at you. Dash to the side and pull |
 | out your cannon once all four are dodged. He will stand there for a      |
 | second or two, so shoot his chest with your leg cannon to deal some      |
 | damage. Behemoth has a laser attack where he will shoot two lasers that  |
 | come from both sides at you. They will come towards you, but never meet. |
 | That means if you stay in the middle at all times, you won't get it.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | Use this time to attack with more leg cannons. When Behemoth gets to the |
 | red area, he will shoot up to 12 yellow blasts at you. Dodge 4 at a time |
 | to avoid getting hit by all of them. Don't worry if you start to run out |
 | of leg cannon ammo. Behemoth will shoot blue energy blasts at you. If    |
 | you jump and slash them, you get cannon ammo. Keep shooting him with     |
 | your leg cannon to deplete his health. Also, the pillars in the area can |
 | be destroyed by Behemoths attacks. They will sometimes drop Rice Balls.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | The next stage is also pretty easy. Behemoth will fly down and cling to  |
 | the edge of the arena, exposing his upper body. His tail swings back and |
 | forth across the arena throughout the battle. When it comes towards you, |
 | jump and attack the tail. It will fall on the ground. Jump on the top of |
 | the tail (it is shaped like a hand) and wait for the tail to rise up     |
 | towards Behemoth's face.                                                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | Here you can unleash some strong combos on his face, as well as a spirit |
 | attack. After a while of attacking, he will get hurt and the tail will   |
 | throw you to the ground. If you aren't quick enough with your attacks,   |
 | he will use his horns to shoot electricity at you. You will have to      |
 | repeat this strategy four or five times to deplete all of his health and |
 | end the stage.                                                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | The first thing to do in this fight is to equip the Sword of Clarity.    |
 | Believe me, it will help. This is the toughest stage so far, and         |
 | Behemoth seems to be pissed after you sliced his head in half. The       |
 | objective of this stage is to destroy all six horns on his back. The     |
 | first attack is where Behemoth will unleash shockwaves on the ground,    |
 | which can be avoided by simply jumping over them. No biggie.             |
 |                                                                          |
 | You must reach the tail and climb up the back towards the horns, but it  |
 | isn't as easy as one would think. Behemoth will shoot out a massive beam |
 | of energy from his mouth. He will be stationary, so run towards his big  |
 | tail. Once you're on your way, the horns on his back will shoot beams at |
 | you. Without the Sword of Clarity, you would be stunned by the attack.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Run up the tail to his back. Attack the closest horn on his back with    |
 | combos. After about 15 or 20 seconds, his tail will grab you and throw   |
 | you off. Immediately press X and jump to the side so you don't land in   |
 | his beam attack.                                                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | You can actually get lucky and try to use your spirit attack at the      |
 | right time on his back. If you use the spirit attack at the same time as |
 | his tail goes to pick you up, you will damage the tail and get another   |
 | round on his back. Keep doing this to take out all six horns and move on |
 | to the last stage of the fight.                                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | The final stage is most definitely the hardest and most frustrating.     |
 | Behemoth will fly in the air again and will dive down and speed towards  |
 | you. What you must do is stop him by attacking him with combos right as  |
 | he's about to collide with you. It's hard, because you must deplete all  |
 | of its health (all three bars!) without getting plowed through. If you   |
 | fail to do this, Behemoth will regain all of his health while up in the  |
 | air again. I recommend using just your katana for this stage since the   |
 | combos with one sword is stronger than your arm blades.                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | As he swoops down towards you, time your attack and have your first      |
 | slash hit the beast. Continue your combo as it tries to run through you. |
 | You MAY need to quickly use a second combo if the first one ends to take |
 | out his health. It is waaaay harder than I make it sound, so keep on     |
 | practicing. Also, if you use the Thunderstrike spirit attack right when  |
 | Behemoth is about to collide with you, you will take out all of his      |
 | health in one shot.                                                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete all of his health, Behemoth's heart will fall to the    |
 | ground, still connected to beast. What you must do is use your Charge    |
 | Attack. Press and hold Triangle to charge up your sword, and when it     |
 | flashes, let go. You will now have to enter a series of button combos in |
 | the designated amount of time (it's a bar, not a timer). You will have   |
 | to perform 48 slices to finally kill Behemoth.                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | Getting 48 slices is friggin' hard as hell, but can be made much easier. |
 | If you have Sword of Eighth Cloud (I told you to get it), equip it. This |
 | will reduce the number of slashes from 48 to a measly 16 times. It is    |
 | definitely worth it and makes this stage a lot easier. Remember to press |
 | Triangle after hitting the number of slashes needed. Once you complete   |
 | this part, the battle is finally over! Good job on beating the game!     |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Dream Eater                                      | Lvl. 4  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | The Dream Eater fight is very simple and doesn't require much effort to  |
 | take him out. He will teleport quite a bit in this battle and stays      |
 | afloat in the air. He will fire out green lasers at you which are easy   |
 | to dodge if you run to the side. Dream Eater will also release green     |
 | powder if you get up close to it. This powder will not only hurt you,    |
 | but you will be stunned if hit.                                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | Jump in the air and press either Square or Triangle. You'll perform some |
 | spinning slashes and damage him. Whenever you get close to Dream Eater,  |
 | he will teleport to the other side of the room and shoot you with a      |
 | laser beam. Chase after him and resume the attack.                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete his yellow bar of health, Dream Eater will start to     |
 | fire energy balls at you. They are not hard to dodge if you simply run   |
 | away from them. Continue to use jumping slashes to damage the beast.     |
 | Don't use leg cannons in this battle, but your arm gun proves to be      |
 | quite useful in this fight. Once you defeat Dream Eater, you will get    |
 | back your Hippocampal Synapse. This organ shows you the number of        |
 | defeated enemies. Yay for incredibly useless organs!                     |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Grave Golem                                      | Lvl. 6  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | The Grave Golem is a large stone creature with tentacles protruding from |
 | its head and arms. It will slowly float around the area and attack you.  |
 | The most common attack he uses is where he shoots a couple fireballs at  |
 | you. Run to the side to avoid contact with any of them. Grave Golem will |
 | start to rise in the air. Stay away from its location, for it will come  |
 | slamming down onto the ground. If you get caught under, you will sustain |
 | a lot of damage.                                                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the Grave Golem glows red, then it is going to quickly dash at you. |
 | Stay out of its way because it is a strong attack and probably his most  |
 | deadly one. The best route to take in this battle is to use your arm     |
 | blades. Jump in the air and continue to hit Square for a spinning slash. |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar, Grave Golem will start to use his       |
 | attacks more frequently and more in general. He will start to shoot more |
 | fireballs at you. Grave Golem will also charge at you two or three times |
 | as opposed to just one. Stick with the spinning slash to damage him.     |
 | Sometimes you'll find the Grave Golem do nothing but just float around   |
 | you. It's a good time to unleash your strongest combos on him. Once he's |
 | down, you receive Platelets.                                             |
 |                                                                          |

A little farther up the road past the graveyard is another closed off area.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Inquisitor                                       | Lvl. 6  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This battle is in fact very unique. Inquisitor is a giant statue with    |
 | three heads: one sad (blue), one normal (yellow), and one angry (red).   |
 | The faces determine how the battle continues and how the fiend acts. The |
 | Inquisitor will spin the heads, and whatever face is shown when he stops |
 | is what face will be fighting. He can do this many times throughout the  |
 | battle, so the strategy will keep changing.                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | The blue face is a coward and will spend the battle running away from    |
 | you. Try to catch up to him and attack, or use your arm gun. He can also |
 | summon a couple of Specters. The yellow face will run around the area,   |
 | dropping bombs out of its back. Sometimes he even drops rice balls for   |
 | you. Like before, use your arm gun and don't follow him unless you want  |
 | bombs dropped on you.                                                    |
 |                                                                          |
 | The red face is the most dangerous of them all. He will rush towards you |
 | and slam into you, which can hurt. He will also stop and shoot fire out  |
 | of its mouth. He will start to rotate in a circle, so run around the     |
 | flame to the other side and start to attack him.                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | He will use this flame attack a total of three times, so get ready to    |
 | avoid it after the flames stop for a first time. So in short, attack     |
 | with swords on the red face, and use arm gun on the other two faces.     |
 | Once you defeat Inquisitor, you will get your Trapezius Muscles back.    |
 |                                                                          |

This battle can only be fought after beating Chapter 6 and doing a sidequest. 
After Chapter 6, head back to Chapter 2 and fight Fiend Misaki (where you 
fought Possessed Dororo). Once you defeat Fiend Misaki, you will get your 
Right Leg. It makes your leg cannon stronger, letting you access new areas in 
the Bamboo Thicket.

Once you do all that, return to the thicket. Head left when you enter and 
proceed to the stream. If you set Dororo to investigate the area, he'll point 
out a large rock. Blow it up with the leg cannon and proceed through. 

You will be in a large flowered field. Head to the left side of the field to 
find a rock covered in flowers. Destroy it to find the Lotus Sword. Equip it 
and head to the end of the area. Save and chop down the trees to enter the 
next area, where the fight is.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Maimai' Onba                                     | Lvl. 44 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This battle is surprisingly easy, and I wasn't expecting it at all.      |
 | Maimai' Onba has several annoying attacks. She will start off by         |
 | shooting lightning out of her wings. Like always, dash to the side to    |
 | avoid the attack. She will also spin in the air, releasing poison gas.   |
 | Avoid the gas entirely to avoid getting poisoned.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | When her stomach starts to glow, she is about to release a big wave of   |
 | energy in your direction. Sometimes Maimai' Onba will summon some lesser |
 | enemies. Kill them to get cannon ammo. Your best bet is to unleash leg   |
 | cannons on her to deplete her health quickly.                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Maimai' Onba doesn't gain any new attacks in the battle. She only has    |
 | three attacks, which are all very easy to dodge. Stick with leg cannons  |
 | in this battle to damage her. If you run out of ammo and there aren't    |
 | any enemies to kill, use jumping slashes to take her out.                |
 |                                                                          |
 | Sometimes Maimai' Onba will retreat to a corner of the arena and rest.   |
 | She doesn't regain health or anything, but just sits there. Use this     |
 | opportunity to run over and attack her with combos. Once Maimai' Onba is |
 | defeated, you receive yet another body part.                             |
 |                                                                          |

 |                                                                          |
 | This giant ogre wields a large javelin that proves to be very deadly. He |
 | will jab at you several times if you get up close to the beast.          |
 | Sometimes Impaler will also swing his javelin to knock you over. He      |
 | usually just sticks to jabbing you with the large weapon. His attacks    |
 | are very basic and aren't that deadly.                                   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Hurry over to his back and assault the big guy with combos. Impaler is   |
 | slow to react, so you can get off quite a few combos before he turns     |
 | around to attack. Stay with swords; don't even bother wasting ammo on    |
 | him. Keep hacking away at his back to quickly damage the Impaler         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Impaler gets down to red health, he will use a deadlier attack. He  |
 | will use the tip of his spear to draw energy and release it as a giant   |
 | purple ball. The ball travels really slow and is easy to dodge. It takes |
 | out a lot of health if you get hit, so make sure to get out of its way.  |
 | Keep attacking his back to end the battle quickly. You don't even need   |
 | to use a spirit attack either. Once you kill Impaler, you will get a new |
 | body part.                                                               |
 |                                                                          |

Head to where you fought Dragon Brood and go to the right. You will enter an 
area with a large tar pit. Defeat the hopping enemies in the pit. Once you 
kill all of them, the battle will start.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Night Terror                                     | Lvl. 12 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Night Terror is very similar to Homonculous from the Prologue. They are  |
 | not only similar in appearance, but both are very easy to beat. Night    |
 | Terror relies on poisonous attacks, so use the Poison Sword for this     |
 | battle. The tar pit renders your dash useless and will slow you down     |
 | considerably. Since the tar takes up most of the arena, sticking to the  |
 | edge of the tar is somewhat hard to do.                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | The fiend will try to clobber you with his scrawny arms. This attack is  |
 | very weak, so don't worry if you get hit. Night Terror will also spew    |
 | poisonous mist at you. If you have the Poison Sword equipped, you won't  |
 | get poisoned. He can also use a devastating headbutt attack on you.      |
 | Unfortunately, Night Terror uses the tar to his advantage. He can dive   |
 | down in it and pop up somewhere else, usually right behind you.          |
 |                                                                          |
 | Your best bet is to end the fight quickly and attack him head on. His    |
 | short-range attacks are weak and it doesn't matter if you get hit a      |
 | couple of times; just watch your health. Attack with strong and long     |
 | combos on his face.                                                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | When he dives under, get out of the tar onto dry land. From here, you    |
 | can simply use your arm gun as he slowly comes towards you. It's an easy |
 | fight which can be beaten with two ways. Either slash him to death or    |
 | stay on the outside edge and shoot him. You will get back your oh so     |
 | lovely Cerebellum after defeating Night Terror.                          |
 |                                                                          |

You must complete Chapter 6 in order to fight this battle. Head back to the 
shrine where you fought Possessed Dororo. You will watch a cutscene and do 
battle with Fiend Misaki once more.


 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | FIEND BATTLE: Fiend Misaki                                     | Lvl. 35 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Fiend Misaki has been fully possessed, so you can use any weapon you     |
 | wish for this battle. Her moves are pretty much the same as the last     |
 | time you fought her as a fiend. She will use some simple combos with her |
 | sword which are easy to evade. She will also throw flaming knives at     |
 | your location.                                                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | Watch out for the knives because they are used as a long distance        |
 | attack. Misaki can now engulf herself in flames and do a running stab.   |
 | Her next new attack is where she will jump in the air and shoot fire. It |
 | is best to jump over to get behind the girl and attack her back.         |
 |                                                                          |
 | Continue to attack her back and use short combos to avoid getting hit as |
 | she quickly turns around. It is best to hit and run because she can      |
 | really put on the pain if you stay close to her for a long amount of     |
 | time. When you deplete all of Misaki's health, the fiend that has been   |
 | possessing her comes out of the sword and starts to fly around the       |
 | arena. Run up to the speedy thing and slash it to bits.                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | If you don't kill it in time, it will return to the sword and heal Fiend |
 | Misaki up to one third of her health. Make sure to take out the fiend    |
 | quickly to end the battle. You receive your Right Leg after the battle.  |
 | Now you will carry your leg cannon. It not only deals more damage, but   |
 | it will now carry twice the ammo!                                        |
 |                                                                          |

Once again, proceed to where you fought Dragon Brood. Pass through where you 
fought Night Terror and jump up the ledges. In the next area, head across the 
valley and save. Use your leg cannon to destroy the wall next to the save 
point. Head through the rubble to start another battle.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Draconus                                         | Lvl. 41 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | You will be pitted against a giant fire serpent. Equip any of your fire  |
 | swords for this battle. Like most dragons, Draconus will most commonly   |
 | breathe fire at you. Run to its back to avoid the attack. It deals a lot |
 | of damage too, so get out of the way.                                    |
 |                                                                          |
 | He will also jump in the air and land, creating a small quake. The most  |
 | annoying attack Draconus has is the weakest, but will most likely        |
 | counterattack your moves. If you are up close, he will glow first, then  |
 | start to spin around. Back up when he glows to avoid falling down.       |
 |                                                                          |
 | The easiest way to defeat him is to shoot leg cannons at his head, which |
 | will deal the most damage. Always try to attack his head throughout the  |
 | battle, so when you are up close, jump and use spinning slashes on his   |
 | head. Remember to back up so you don't get hit in his spinning attack.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | That attack is the reason not to use combos in this fight. You will just |
 | get interrupted before you can finish off any combo. Stick to leg        |
 | cannons until you run out. After that, use jumping slashes to attack his |
 | head. Draconus will go down in no time, and you will regain a body part. |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Goliath                                          | Lvl. 12 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Goliath is very similar to Great Horn, the first fiend you battled       |
 | against in this game. Use your arm blades for this battle against him.   |
 | Goliath can use a three-hit combo where he will slash at you with his    |
 | claws up to three times. Back up or run behind him and attack.           |
 |                                                                          |
 | If you happen to be on the other side of the arena, Goliath will jump at |
 | you in an attempt to hit you with his claws. Goliath will also stab the  |
 | ground, sending out shockwaves. This attack is a bit harder to avoid     |
 | since the arena is fairly small. Attack his back with arm blade combos   |
 | to knock him over. Resume attacking Goliath when he's on the ground to   |
 | get in serious amounts of damage.                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete his yellow bar of health, Goliath will use yet another  |
 | attack. Now Goliath can cover his body in flames and start to attack     |
 | you. He is invincible when his flame shield is up, so evade his attacks  |
 | and wait for the flames to be extinguished.                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | Always attack the back of the creature to deal more damage than in the   |
 | front. Your Thunderstrike spirit attack takes out a lot of his health,   |
 | so remember to use it if you want a quick end to the battle. You will    |
 | get back your Adrenal Glands when you destroy Goliath.                   |
 |                                                                          |

 |                                                                          |
 | The battle is a lot tougher than the first time you fought this guy.     |
 | Gaping Maw carries over all of his attacks from his last battle. He will |
 | extend his arms in an attempt to smack you around. Gaping Maw will also  |
 | shoot laser beams out of his eyeballs.                                   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Both of these attacks are very easy to dodge; you should have little     |
 | trouble avoiding his offensive maneuvers. He still remains to be very    |
 | annoying in this battle, so beat him down good. Attack his big noggin    |
 | for maximum damage and make sure to use your spirit attack here.         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Gaping Maw is down to his last bar of health, he will get a new     |
 | attack. He will not only run away from you, but will also drop bombs     |
 | behind that detonate seconds later. It is hard to chase him and avoid    |
 | the bombs, but your arm gun or leg cannon doesn't deal a lot of damage   |
 | in this fight. He will do this a lot when he's down to low health, so be |
 | patient. Gaping Maw is still annoying as hell here, and is definitely    |
 | harder than before. Keep on the fight to kill this foe once and for all. |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Wind Fiend                                       | Lvl. 19 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This guy can be quite annoying during this battle with his constant      |
 | floating state. Wind Fiend only has two attacks, but one keeps getting   |
 | upgraded throughout the battle. His most common attack is a wind based   |
 | attack where he will spin around and shoot a tornado at you. This is     |
 | easily avoided by running behind him (while you're back there, attack    |
 | his back with jumping attacks).                                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | His second attack is laughably bad; Wind Fiend will inhale some air and  |
 | drag you towards him, then blow the air back and push you over. Switch   |
 | to your katana and repeatedly press Square while in the air to slash     |
 | Wind Fiend multiple times.                                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | Wind Fiend will start to shoot three tornadoes once his blue meter has   |
 | been depleted. They are moderately hard to dodge now, so you should drop |
 | down from the top area to the bottom (or vice versa if you're already on |
 | the bottom). Wind Fiend will fly around a lot and sometimes will fly so  |
 | far that you can't reach him with swords. When that happens, unload the  |
 | arm gun or leg cannon on him.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete his yellow bar of health, Wind Fiend will now shoot up  |
 | to four tornadoes at you. Things now get pretty hectic, so switch from   |
 | platform to platform to avoid getting hit. He will fly faster and more   |
 | often. If you happen to be under him at one moment in time, use your     |
 | Thunderstrike spirit attack to deal a lot of damage to him. Once you     |
 | finally kill Wind Fiend, you will now get your Abdominal Muscles back.   |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Beast Fiend                                      | Lvl. 17 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Beast Fiend is a fat pig-looking thing with a backpack full of bombs. He |
 | will do a somersault slash and a butt slam, but his most common attack   |
 | is to drop bombs onto the ground. He usually drops 4 in the shape of a   |
 | diamond, but just stay away from his back altogether. Staying far away   |
 | isn't the key either, since he will shoot bombs from his backpack at     |
 | your location. The best way to attack him is to attack his stomach just  |
 | so you can be safe from the bombs.                                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar of health, Beast Fiend will now run away |
 | while dropping bombs. Sometimes he will drop one at a time, sometimes up |
 | to four. Either way, don't chase him or you'll have the bombs fall on    |
 | your head. Use your arm gun or leg cannon from a distance and aim for    |
 | the backpack, which is his weak point. Why wouldn't you want to shoot a  |
 | backpack filled to the brim with explosives?                             |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the Beast Fiend resumes normal attack methods, go back to attacking |
 | the front of his body. Only attack the backpack with long-range weapons. |
 | Once you take care of Beast Fiend, you will get another new body part.   |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | In all honesty, I was expecting Death to look like the grim reaper or    |
 | something like that. Instead, we get a Hellcrusher impersonator. Death   |
 | will use his trusty axe to slash at you. Not just that, but he also      |
 | wields a staff for other attacks. Sometimes he will shoot fireballs out  |
 | of the staff. He will also use more fire attacks with his staff.         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you see glowing symbols appear on the ground, watch out, for that   |
 | area will erupt in flames. This guy will strangely use his staff as a    |
 | form of transportation. Death will jump on his staff and glide around,   |
 | using it like a frickin' skateboard. As he skates around, Death will try |
 | to slash you with his axe.                                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | You should not really try to damage Death as he skates around, just wait |
 | until he stops to start the attack. Attack his upper back/back of his    |
 | head to deal the most damage. You can use combos on him (use your arm    |
 | blades for this battle) or jumping slashes. It's pretty fun to battle a  |
 | guy who skates around on a wooden stick, but too bad that you'll be      |
 | killing him now. Once you kill Death (um, how is that possible?), a new  |
 | body part will come back to you.                                         |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Hell Cat                                         | Lvl. 20 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This big demon feline kinda reminds me of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in |
 | Wonderland. I don't know why, but he does. Anyways, the Hell Cat is a    |
 | feisty fella' since he likes to move around a lot. You will find him     |
 | jumping all over the place, not even trying to attack you that much.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | His most basic attack is a claw scratch that isn't much to worry about.  |
 | Hell Cat can also leap at you from a distance and attack. Sometimes Hell |
 | Cat will even burrow underground. Keep moving around to avoid getting    |
 | hit from below. It's hard to do, but try to get around the feline and    |
 | attack his back.                                                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow health, Hell Cat will start to do a slide    |
 | attack which will knock you on the ground. If this happens, he will      |
 | proceed to slice at you with his claws. Back out of the way when you see |
 | him run and slide towards you.                                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | If you attack his back enough, he will cower in fear and cover his head  |
 | with his big arms. I'm not sure why exactly, but continue to pelt him    |
 | with combos to possibly knock him over. Hell Cat isn't exactly easy      |
 | because of his agility, but you should not have a lot of trouble with    |
 | him either. This battle is kinda in the middle in terms of difficulty.   |
 |                                                                          |

 |                                                                          |
 | This large gorilla is all about the power. His attacks are slow and      |
 | predictable, but they really knock you around if you get hit. Blood Ape  |
 | will start by swiping you with its massive paws. He can also raise his   |
 | arms and pound the ground, sending out shockwaves. When you see his arms |
 | high in the air, back up a reasonable distance to avoid the shockwaves   |
 | that occur after. His slow movements and predictable attack pattern      |
 | makes this fight an easy one.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Sometimes Blood Ape will get a little wild. He will leap around the      |
 | arena up to five times. Make sure to not be right where he will land, or |
 | you'll get squashed. Once he's done jumping around, resume your attack   |
 | on his head. Try attacking his head to get the most damage out of him.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | The leg cannon works wonders in this battle; aim and shoot at his head   |
 | to deal insane amounts of damage, making this easy fight even easier.    |
 | Those are his only attacks; keep with the same strategy to finish this   |
 | fight off in a breeze. You will get your Ribs back after the fight with  |
 | the Blood Ape.                                                           |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Giant Inferno Wheel                              | Lvl. 29 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | You may recognize this fiend; he looks just like the Giant Fire Wheel    |
 | from Chapter 2. Except for one thing, this guy has blue flames around    |
 | his body as opposed to red and they are much stronger and deadlier.      |
 |                                                                          |
 | He certainly likes to roll around and try to mow you down throughout the |
 | battle. Those are really his only attacks. Attacking him is a pain, so   |
 | equip a fire sword to reduce any damage. When you try to attack his      |
 | side, he will most likely turn to face you and you'll get hit by his     |
 | flames. Try to use tiny combos to get them over with before he hits you. |
 |                                                                          |
 | Giant Inferno Wheel doesn't gain any new attacks in the battle, so       |
 | avoiding his one attack is all you need to worry about. The terrain is   |
 | rocky, so it's pretty hard to get around in time to dodge his attacks.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | I found it best to use your spirit attack and your leg cannons right at  |
 | the start of the battle just to get it over with. If you do manage to    |
 | pull off a combo on this guy, he will spin out of control and fall to    |
 | the ground. It's hard to attack him on the ground, because you will most |
 | likely get hit by flames or spikes as he spins around. Stick to a hit    |
 | and run method and the wheel will fall in no time.                       |
 |                                                                          |

If you head back to where you fought Thunder Fiend and continue up the 
mountain, you should find a large area with tiles on the ground. One tile is 
raised up unlike any of the others. Go through the cave ahead and go up the 
ramp. Stick to the left side and you should find a high opening leading to 
the tiled floor below.

If you notice, the raised tile is right below the opening. You must jump from 
where you are onto the raised tile to push it back down on the ground. Use 
your shadow as a guide so you can successfully land on it. Once you push it 
into the ground, the battle will start.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Minotaur                                         | Lvl. 47 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | As you can see, his level is really high, so you may want to revisit him |
 | later. Minotaur is really tough either way, and it will take a while to  |
 | beat him. His most common attack is predictable, but deadly nonetheless. |
 | Minotaur will start to glow green, then spin his spear and try to ram    |
 | you. Quickly dash to the side once you see him turn green.               |
 |                                                                          |
 | The beast will also shoot laser beams at you, do your best to get around |
 | him to safety. Of course, he will use the spear in his hand to slash at  |
 | you if up close, so watch out for short-range attacks as well. His last  |
 | attack is easy to avoid as well. The creature will jump in the air for a |
 | little while. Stay away from his cast shadow, because he will come down  |
 | and plunge his spear into the ground. If you happen to be under him,     |
 | then say goodbye to most of your health.                                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | The key to beating this guy is to catch him off guard. Stay far away     |
 | from him and wait for him to charge at you. Dodge and he will stop after |
 | charging for a second or two. This is a good time to hack away at his    |
 | back with arm blade combos. You can't knock him down, but it's the best  |
 | way to attack him without him counterattacking. This is a good time to   |
 | also use your Thunderstrike spirit attack on him to take out a lot of    |
 | his health.                                                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | Keep pummeling Minotaur with all you've got. Another good way to attack  |
 | him is when he is using his laser attack. Run up behind him and slash at |
 | the back of his neck to deal maximum damage. You can deal the most       |
 | damage to him by attacking his head, so take note of that. When you      |
 | deplete the yellow bar of health, Minotaur will combine two attacks.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | Now as he tries to ram you, he will also shoot laser beams at you. This  |
 | attack makes dodging a lot more difficult, so you may want to run far    |
 | away when he uses this attack. This is a good time to unload your leg    |
 | cannons on him from afar. It is a tough battle, so it's alright if you   |
 | have to use a 1-up. Once you finally defeat Minotaur, you get another    |
 | body part. Hoo, tough battle!                                            |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Soul Stealer                                     | Lvl. 31 |

 |                                                                          |
 | This guy is pretty much identical to Grave Golem from the first Chapter. |
 | Since this Chapter takes place in an icy wasteland, this guy obviously   |
 | has ice-based attacks. Equip any ice sword to prevent from being frozen  |
 | during the battle. Soul Stealer has all of the same attacks as his       |
 | brother from Chapter 1.                                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Soul Stealer glows red, watch out as he dashes towards you. The     |
 | room is so small here, so you may have a tough time doing so. When Soul  |
 | Stealer rises up in the air, he will fall to the ground and create big   |
 | shockwaves. Jump over the shockwaves to avoid getting hurt.              |
 |                                                                          |
 | Attack the giant monster with your spirit attack and leg cannons off the |
 | bat. That should deal a lot of damage to him and probably bring him down |
 | to the red bar or close to it. His attacks are very predictable and      |
 | somewhat easy to dodge. They are weak anyways, so don't worry if you     |
 | can't dodge them all that well. Finish him off with sword combos and he  |
 | will go down fast. That's the end to yet another easy battle.            |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Cursed Monk                                      | Lvl. 45 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This short little dude is pretty annoying, since he likes to teleport    |
 | all over the place like Redcap. The area you're fighting in is a large   |
 | circle, so you don't have a lot of room to fight in. Cursed Monk is a    |
 | small guy who has a really long tongue which is used to attack with. He  |
 | will stick out his tongue really far in order to hit you with it. The    |
 | attack can poison you, so equip a sword that protects you from poison.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Chase him down whenever he teleports by using your map to see where he   |
 | is. Slice him with your arm blades since they are most likely at a high  |
 | enough level. His most annoying attack is where he will start to spin    |
 | around which causes him to catch on fire. Then he will spin towards at   |
 | you, damaging you a lot if you get hit.                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | There isn't a lot of room to dodge his attacks, so instead of dashing to |
 | the side, just run away. Attack him anywhere you want; it doesn't matter |
 | if you target the front or back. Sometimes if attacked enough, Cursed    |
 | Monk will fall to the ground and play dead. Don't fall for it and use    |
 | that opportunity to slash him even more and deal more damage.            |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete his yellow health bar, the little creature will begin   |
 | to teleport much more often, making the battle more frustrating. Don't   |
 | bother using leg cannon or your arm gun, but a spirit attack will work   |
 | nicely. You'll get another body part once you defeat the Cursed Monk.    |
 |                                                                          |

After defeating Snake Eyes Saburota, head to the left and jump over the gap 
and head through the door. In the next room, defeat all of the enemies and 
head through the newly opened door. You will fight a fiend in the next room.

 | FIEND BATTLE: White Dragon                                     | Lvl. 43 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Definitely equip an ice sword to protect you from most of his attacks.   |
 | White Dragon is just like Draconus, but uses all ice attacks. His        |
 | close-range attacks involve a head smash attack where he will smack you  |
 | with his head. The beast can also spin around and knock you over, which  |
 | is annoying. Sometimes he will also lunge at you if you are somewhat far |
 | away. All of these are easy to dodge, except for this last one.          |
 |                                                                          |
 | White Dragon will jump high in the air and come crashing down, causing   |
 | some shockwaves to come towards you. If you get hit, you will be frozen  |
 | (unless you have an ice sword equipped). Attack his neck and head to     |
 | deal the most damage possible. Of course, use your arm blades and hack   |
 | away at the front of the serpent.                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the White Dragon is reduced to his red bar of health, he will use a |
 | new devastating attack. His mouth will shine for a second, then he spews |
 | a gust of icy air at you. This can also freeze you if you don't have a   |
 | proper sword equipped. The best way to attack him now is to run up to    |
 | him when you see his mouth shine. Slash at his neck and the ice attack   |
 | will blow right over you. Keep slashing his neck and head and use your   |
 | spirit attack to end the battle quickly.                                 |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND BATTLE: Three Face                                       | Lvl. 40 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | If you had little trouble with Inquisitor from the first chapter, then   |
 | you most likely won't have a problem with this guy. Like the guy's name  |
 | implies, he has three different faces. The blue is sad face, yellow is   |
 | normal, and red is angry. The heads will rotate and randomly stop.       |
 |                                                                          |
 | Whatever face was stopped on, that's what face will be used for a        |
 | portion of the battle. The blue guy doesn't do anything other than run   |
 | away and summon enemies. Chase after him and attack as he tries to flee. |
 | The yellow face runs away as well, but he will drop bombs behind him.    |
 | Use your arm gun or leg cannon to damage him.                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the red face comes up is where the true battle begins. This is the  |
 | only remotely hard face out of the three. He will try to ram you at the  |
 | start of things and pummel you with his feet. When Three Face stops      |
 | moving, then he is going to shoot out fire. He rotates while shooting    |
 | fire in a 360-degree angle, so just run around to the other side and     |
 | attack. He can do this attack up to three times in a row as well. Attack |
 | with your spirit attack and with arm blade combos, and this battle will  |
 | be over in a flash.                                                      |
 |                                                                          |

When you're on the outside edge of the castle, head and you should find a 
ledge on the left side of the wall. Ignore the first one and proceed until 
you find a second one further down. Jump up the ledge and enter through the 
door to start another fiend battle.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Bloodgore                                        | Lvl. 39 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This battle is incredibly easy, just like the Impaler battle from        |
 | Chapter 2. His large javelin will be used to poke, cut, and slice you    |
 | throughout the battle. He will try to jab at you three times for his     |
 | first attack. If you're standing next to him, he also swings his javelin |
 | to knock you away.                                                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | Now for the good news: Bloodgore is really weak and slow, so run up to   |
 | the front of him and hack away with a weapon of your choice. Sometimes   |
 | he will also shoot a cyclone out of his spear, but that isn't hard to    |
 | dodge either.                                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Attack his face to deal maximum damage to him. When Bloodgore gets down  |
 | to his red bar of health, he will shoot out a ball of energy just like   |
 | his twin. The energy ball travels very slow and is easy to dodge. Take   |
 | him out with your spirit attack to end the fight quickly. Don't bother   |
 | wasting any leg cannon ammo; save it when you actually need it.          |
 |                                                                          |

the first ledge and jump up on the second one you find. Enter the large room 
to fight a fiend.

 | FIEND BATTLE: Carrion Feeder                                   | Lvl. 38 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This weird little guy fights just like Chapter 1's Dream Eater. He       |
 | floats in the air, but low enough that you can attack with combos.       |
 | Carrion Feeder doesn't use the poison gas attack any more, but the other |
 | attacks still stay the same. He will shoot several energy bursts at you  |
 | that aren't very deadly.                                                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | Like his brother, Carrion Feeder will be annoying and teleport all over  |
 | the room. When you see the blip on the map, rush to that location and    |
 | attack him when he appears there. Any combo will do or you can just      |
 | stick with jumping slashes.                                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar of health, Carrion Feeder will start to  |
 | shoot numerous laser beams at you. These are a little harder to dodge,   |
 | so start to run towards him when you see them get shot. Stay right in    |
 | front of him (near his hand) and attack the front of the creature to     |
 | avoid the lasers while depleting his health. This is another very easy   |
 | battle, so I doubt you will have any trouble during it.                  |
 |                                                                          |

 8.2] FIENDS                                                            [0820]
==============================================================================

Here is a compilation of the fiends. I will provide the in-game summary, as 
well as the strategy on how to beat them, just so you don't have to go 
through the FAQ just to find out how to beat one measly fiend. Easy access 
right here!

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | GREAT HORN                                                     | Lvl. 1  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Demon with a large horn on its head. Using demon carrion beetles, it     |
 | devours the souls of people. It uses powerful claws as its weapon.       |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | First thing's first, the camera is different in boss battles. They focus |
 | on the boss at all times, and if you don't like it that way, click the   |
 | Right Analog to change it back to normal. The normal view is good for    |
 | scrounging around the area for breakable objects.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Bosses' health consist of three bars, a blue one, then a yellow one,     |
 | then a red one. Deplete the blue one to start on the yellow one, and so  |
 | on. Once the red bar is depleted, the boss is dead. Three bars, one      |
 | boss, one battle.                                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | This boss is somewhat tough for your first fiend encounter. Take out the |
 | carrion beetles so they don't get in the way after. The boss is most     |
 | dangerous when you're close by. His first attack is to swipe at you with |
 | his claws several times. Avoid it by staying away from the front of him. |
 |                                                                          |
 | Great Horn will also slam his hands into the ground and create a tremor. |
 | You can't really do anything about staying away from him, because if you |
 | keep your distance, he will jump over to you. You're going to want to    |
 | attack his back, where you are least vulnerable. Wait for Great Horn to  |
 | get ready so swipe at you, then run behind him and use a combo or just   |
 | repeatedly slash him. Stay away before he turns and slashes at you.      |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once you deplete the yellow meter, Great Horn uses a new attack. He will |
 | engulf himself in flames and hurt you if you're too close. Wait for the  |
 | flames to go down, then resume attacking him. Don't bother using either  |
 | your gun or cannon; save the ammo for more important uses. Once you      |
 | deplete the red meter, Great Horn dies and you retrieve your first body  |
 | part, your vocal cords! Now you don't sound like a robot anymore!        |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | HOMONCULUS                                                     | Lvl. 2  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | This demon tried to kidnap Dororo and was slain by Hyakkimaru. It        |
 | kidnaps children and works them to death, then eats them.                |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | The battle will start off with the short, ugly thing grabbing Dororo.    |
 | Homonculus is extremely slow; you should have absolutely no trouble      |
 | avoiding his attacks. He starts off only blowing smoke at Hyakkimaru.    |
 | Simply avoid him when he starts to inhale. Run to his back and start of  |
 | hack away. Once you take out his first health bar, Dororo breaks free.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Homonculus is a bit faster now, and he has some new attacks. Now with    |
 | both of his arms free, he can punch and headbutt Hyakkimaru if you get   |
 | in too close. His headbutt is really strong, with such a big noggin, so  |
 | avoid the front of him close up at all times.                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Simply run behind him and use a flurry of sword strikes on him. This     |
 | fiend is a lot easier than Great Horn, and should go down quite fast.    |
 | Once you kill Homonculus, you receive your left eye.                     |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | SCOURGE                                                        | Lvl. 3  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | The Scourge has a hundred tentacles it uses to capture its prey. Though  |
 | it is large, it is still quite fast and dangerous.                       |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Wow, your first tough boss. Scourge is an extremely large beast with     |
 | hundreds of tentacles covering its face. It also has a long tail and a   |
 | large tongue used for smacking you, which means that staying the hell    |
 | away from it won't work. Start off by equipping your arm blades and      |
 | using combos to damage the monster.                                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | The best combo I found is by pressing Square four times, then Triangle.  |
 | Hyakkimaru should slash the best four times, then jump in the air and    |
 | spin around like a helicopter. I'll call this the Helicopter combo from  |
 | now on, and it seems to be the most useful one.                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | Using the Helicopter combo constantly isn't the smartest thing. You will |
 | find yourself being smacked to the side by Scourge's long tail. This is  |
 | a perfect time to use up your ammo. Press L2 to ready your leg cannon,   |
 | then aim the target at the boss. Press Square or Triangle to fire a      |
 | cannon, taking a nice portion off of the boss's meter. Use your spirit   |
 | attack also to damage the beast significantly.                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow meter, Scourge starts to run on the wall.    |
 | Use your arm gun and fire as it runs in circles. It will stop and pause, |
 | ready to shoot an energy beam at your position. When it stops, run far   |
 | away so you don't get hit by the blast. When it returns to the ground,   |
 | resume slashing its side, not its head. When you face Scourge's head, he |
 | will shoot out his tongue at you, knocking you down.                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | There are urns scattered around the whole area, so change camera views   |
 | and stock up on Health and Ammo before you fight again. This is best     |
 | done when Scourge is running on the walls, because he doesn't have time  |
 | to chase you when you have your back turned. Once you deplete the red    |
 | meter, you will defeat Scourge, who retreats.                            |
 |                                                                          |

 | The Scourge is pretty much the same as you last encountered him, but he  |
 | lost and gained an attack. Instead of the energy blast, he now summons a |
 | bunch of bamboo sticks and slams them into the ground, usually in a      |
 | straight line. When you see the bamboo hovering in the air, run to the   |
 | side of Scourge to avoid impact.                                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | It is as dangerous as last battle, so stay away from the tail again. It  |
 | can easily smack you around with the big thing, and he can stick out his |
 | tongue so hit you with it. Attack Scourge with the Firestorm spirit      |
 | attack up close to take off a lot of damage. Once you deplete the blue   |
 | bar, you will see a cutscene.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Use your leg cannon ammo if you have any left, as well as your arm gun.  |
 | Use the Helicopter Combo on his side and back away before you get hit by |
 | his tail. Attacking the tail is more effective than attacking the head,  |
 | but it is more dangerous. Follow the strategy used in the other battle   |
 | to beat this fiend. Once again, when it is defeated, it will run away    |
 | and you won't get a body part.                                           |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Anything this Fiend strikes with its giant club is instantly destroyed.  |
 | It is said that nothing can withstand its power.                         |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This large fiend holds a club in one hand and a staff in the other. His  |
 | main attack is where he swings his club at you. This only occurs if you  |
 | are right in front of him. Hellcrusher's next attack is mostly used when |
 | you are far away. He uses his staff to hurl fireballs at you. Wait until |
 | a magic symbol appears, then run away from your former position to avoid |
 | the attack. He can also jump and slam down on the ground, making an      |
 | earthquake that can damage you.                                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | Don't waste any ammo on this battle, just stick to swords. Use either    |
 | your arm blades or sword; the battle is easy enough for either. Run up   |
 | to Hellcrusher's back and attack, preferably with the Helicopter combo.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow meter, Hellcrusher starts to use a new magic |
 | technique. He now unleashes three blue fireballs towards your position.  |
 | When the symbol appears, strafe and run side to side to avoid all three. |
 | Return to pummeling him from behind. Don't get too caught up on the      |
 | beating, as he can easily turn around and smash you with his club. There |
 | aren't any urns to break here, so be aware of your health. Once you kill |
 | Hellcrusher, you obtain a new body part.                                 |
 |                                                                          |

 | This Fiend deceived the residents of a small village for many years. She |
 | gives them money, but whenever the village prospers, she attacks it and  |
 | steals their money.                                                      |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | The Ogress likes to float around a lot, which is kinda lame. She's       |
 | quick, and you will find yourself chasing her around a lot. Her          |
 | close-range attack is a spinning punch, so you can't easily just run     |
 | behind her to avoid it. Slash at her back with short combos, such as the |
 | Flipping Combo, because she will most likely fly away in the middle of a |
 | long one.                                                                |
 |                                                                          |
 | Her second attack is where she charges up and unleashes a lightning bolt |
 | at you. It doesn't home on; just merely hits your position. When she     |
 | charges up, run over to her to get a nice long combo on her to smack a   |
 | lot of HP off of her. The Ogress is most vulnerable from behind, so      |
 | always attack her back when necessary. When she floats in the air, do a  |
 | midair slash to damage her.                                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | After you deplete the yellow bar, you will see a cutscene. The Ogress    |
 | changes her attack pattern after the scene. She will float high in the   |
 | air, so high that you have no chance of reaching her with your swords.   |
 | Use your arm gun or leg cannon to damage her. Ogress will summon some    |
 | Wandering Skulls to fight you, but ignore them.                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | Next, she will charge up and unleash a giant beam towards you. Run on    |
 | either side of it to avoid the blast, and she may even hit an enemy or   |
 | two. After she uses her beam, she will float back down to the ground,    |
 | where you can continue your assault. When the Ogress is killed, you will |
 | receive your left leg. The left leg lets you dash by pressing R3 (this   |
 | is probably the most useful move you have now).                          |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Feeding on the dreams of people, this Fiend latches onto its victims     |
 | head and works its way inside.                                           |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | The Dream Eater fight is very simple and doesn't require much effort to  |
 | take him out. He will teleport quite a bit in this battle and stays      |
 | afloat in the air. He will fire out green lasers at you which are easy   |
 | to dodge if you run to the side. Dream Eater will also release green     |
 | powder if you get up close to it. This powder will not only hurt you,    |
 | but you will be stunned if hit.                                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | Jump in the air and press either Square or Triangle. You'll perform some |
 | spinning slashes and damage him. Whenever you get close to Dream Eater,  |
 | he will teleport to the other side of the room and shoot you with a      |
 | laser beam. Chase after him and resume the attack.                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete his yellow bar of health, Dream Eater will start to     |
 | fire energy balls at you. They are not hard to dodge if you simply run   |
 | away from them. Continue to use jumping slashes to damage the beast.     |
 | Don't use leg cannons in this battle, but your arm gun proves to be      |
 | quite useful in this fight. Once you defeat Dream Eater, you will get    |
 | back your Hippocampal Synapse. This organ shows you the number of        |
 | defeated enemies. Yay for incredibly useless organs!                     |
 |                                                                          |

 | These dolls were buried to keep the dead company as they slumbered. Now  |
 | possessed, they attack anyone who comes near the burial site and drags   |
 | them underground.                                                        |

 | The Grave Golem is a large stone creature with tentacles protruding from |
 | its head and arms. It will slowly float around the area and attack you.  |
 | The most common attack he uses is where he shoots a couple fireballs at  |
 | you. Run to the side to avoid contact with any of them. Grave Golem will |
 | start to rise in the air. Stay away from its location, for it will come  |
 | slamming down onto the ground. If you get caught under, you will sustain |
 | a lot of damage.                                                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the Grave Golem glows red, then it is going to quickly dash at you. |
 | Stay out of its way because it is a strong attack and probably his most  |
 | deadly one. The best route to take in this battle is to use your arm     |
 | blades. Jump in the air and continue to hit Square for a spinning slash. |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar, Grave Golem will start to use his       |
 | attacks more frequently and more in general. He will start to shoot more |
 | fireballs at you. Grave Golem will also charge at you two or three times |
 | as opposed to just one. Stick with the spinning slash to damage him.     |
 | Sometimes you'll find the Grave Golem do nothing but just float around   |
 | you. It's a good time to unleash your strongest combos on him. Once he's |
 | down, you receive Platelets.                                             |
 |                                                                          |

 | This statue will ask 3 questions. Answer all 3 correctly, and it will    |
 | disappear. But, each question you get wrong will result in a fate most   |
 | horrible.                                                                |

 | This battle is in fact very unique. Inquisitor is a giant statue with    |
 | three heads: one sad (blue), one normal (yellow), and one angry (red).   |
 | The faces determine how the battle continues and how the fiend acts. The |
 | Inquisitor will spin the heads, and whatever face is shown when he stops |
 | is what face will be fighting. He can do this many times throughout the  |
 | battle, so the strategy will keep changing.                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | The blue face is a coward and will spend the battle running away from    |
 | you. Try to catch up to him and attack, or use your arm gun. He can also |
 | summon a couple of Specters. The yellow face will run around the area,   |
 | dropping bombs out of its back. Sometimes he even drops rice balls for   |
 | you. Like before, use your arm gun and don't follow him unless you want  |
 | bombs dropped on you.                                                    |
 |                                                                          |
 | The red face is the most dangerous of them all. He will rush towards you |
 | and slam into you, which can hurt. He will also stop and shoot fire out  |
 | of its mouth. He will start to rotate in a circle, so run around the     |
 | flame to the other side and start to attack him.                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | He will use this flame attack a total of three times, so get ready to    |
 | avoid it after the flames stop for a first time. So in short, attack     |
 | with swords on the red face, and use arm gun on the other two faces.     |
 | Once you defeat Inquisitor, you will get your Trapezius Muscles back.    |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Queen of a race of demon moths that take the form of beautiful human     |
 | women. She utters the words "Lord Sabame" upon her death, which is the   |
 | name of the human she loved.                                             |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o

 | This battle is surprisingly easy, and I wasn't expecting it at all.      |
 | Maimai' Onba has several annoying attacks. She will start off by         |
 | shooting lightning out of her wings. Like always, dash to the side to    |
 | avoid the attack. She will also spin in the air, releasing poison gas.   |
 | Avoid the gas entirely to avoid getting poisoned.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | When her stomach starts to glow, she is about to release a big wave of   |
 | energy in your direction. Sometimes Maimai' Onba will summon some lesser |
 | enemies. Kill them to get cannon ammo. Your best bet is to unleash leg   |
 | cannons on her to deplete her health quickly.                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Maimai' Onba doesn't gain any new attacks in the battle. She only has    |
 | three attacks, which are all very easy to dodge. Stick with leg cannons  |
 | in this battle to damage her. If you run out of ammo and there aren't    |
 | any enemies to kill, use jumping slashes to take her out.                |
 |                                                                          |
 | Sometimes Maimai' Onba will retreat to a corner of the arena and rest.   |
 | She doesn't regain health or anything, but just sits there. Use this     |
 | opportunity to run over and attack her with combos. Once Maimai' Onba is |
 | defeated, you receive yet another body part.                             |
 |                                                                          |

 | GIANT FIRE WHEEL                                               | Lvl. 10 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Engulfed in flames, this wooden Fiend also bears blades on its wheel,    |
 | burning and slashing at all those in its way.                            |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | First off, equip a sword that protects you from fire, such as Fire Sword |
 | +1. You don't have to necessarily use it, but it will protect you from   |
 | the flames. I had an easier time using my arm blades, so I recommend     |
 | that you use them for this battle. When The Giant Fire Wheel tires to    |
 | run you over, dash to either side to avoid collision.                    |
 |                                                                          |
 | Use your spirit attack and your leg cannon from a distance to start the  |
 | battle off. Now, just start to slash at the side of the fiend, making    |
 | sure to stay away from the front or back. It's very easy to touch the    |
 | flames and get hurt, so this battle is frustrating.                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once you land a combo or two on the Giant Fire Wheel, it will spin out   |
 | of control and land on the ground. When it starts to get up, attack it   |
 | using long combos.                                                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete Giant Flame Wheel's yellow bar, it gains a new attack.  |
 | Now it will engulf itself in flames and start to spin around in a        |
 | circle. This attack is very easy to avoid, so just stay away until it    |
 | stops. When the flames die down, continue to attack the side. After      |
 | depleting the last bar of health and killing Giant Fire Wheel,           |
 | Hyakkimaru regains another body part.                                    |
 |                                                                          |

 | DEMON SWORD DRAGON BROOD                                       | Lvl. 10 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | A sword possessed by a Fiend. It corrupted Tanosuke and sought the blood |
 | of humans. Those who fell victim to it are doomed to undeath.            |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | The first part of this battle is very easy. His attacks are nearly       |
 | identical to when you first fought him (Masterless Samurai), but he's a  |
 | bit stronger now. Just jump behind him when he starts a combo and slash  |
 | away at his back. When you deplete the blue bar, a cutscene starts up.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Your arena now is a giant mud pit, which slows you down a lot. He        |
 | summons a shield around him which can damage you if you touch it. Wait   |
 | until it goes down, then attack his back. Dragon Brood can also jump in  |
 | the air and plummet his sword into the ground, causing spikes to rise    |
 | from the ground in either a line or a circle. Either way, stay away when |
 | you see Dragon Brood jump in the air. Here's a good time to use your     |
 | spirit attack. When you drain half of the yellow bar, another cutscene   |
 | occurs.                                                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | Now you will be in an area surrounded by large stone pillars. Dragon     |
 | Brood will teleport a lot now in this phase, making things a lot more    |
 | annoying for you. He will teleport right next to you and slash you, so   |
 | always run away when he gets close to you. Now is the time to use your   |
 | leg cannon and arm gun. Smash the urn at the end of the arena for a rice |
 | ball if you need it. Attack his back if you run out of ammo until the    |
 | rest of the yellow bar is depleted.                                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | The battle is pretty much the same, but now you're in an open arena.     |
 | Continue to slash at his back and use another spirit attack (you most    |
 | likely have gotten it again) and any ammo that wasn't used previously.   |
 | Once you deplete Dragon Brood's health, this frickin' battle is finally  |
 | over. Whoo!                                                              |
 |                                                                          |

 | IMPALER                                                        | Lvl. 9  |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | The spear itself is actually the Fiend. The spear controls the giant     |
 | statue that wields it. It feeds on the dying screams of victims it       |
 | impales.                                                                 |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This giant ogre wields a large javelin that proves to be very deadly. He |
 | will jab at you several times if you get up close to the beast.          |
 | Sometimes Impaler will also swing his javelin to knock you over. He      |
 | usually just sticks to jabbing you with the large weapon. His attacks    |
 | are very basic and aren't that deadly.                                   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Hurry over to his back and assault the big guy with combos. Impaler is   |
 | slow to react, so you can get off quite a few combos before he turns     |
 | around to attack. Stay with swords; don't even bother wasting ammo on    |
 | him. Keep hacking away at his back to quickly damage the Impaler         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Impaler gets down to red health, he will use a deadlier attack. He  |
 | will use the tip of his spear to draw energy and release it as a giant   |
 | purple ball. The ball travels really slow and is easy to dodge. It takes |
 | out a lot of health if you get hit, so make sure to get out of its way.  |
 | Keep attacking his back to end the battle quickly. You don't even need   |
 | to use a spirit attack either. Once you kill Impaler, you will get a new |
 | body part.                                                               |

 | NIGHT TERROR                                                   | Lvl. 12 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Demon monk that lives in a small pond. It gathers new worshippers on     |
 | moonless nights, raiding nearby villages. Those captured are doomed to   |
 | become red mud demons.                                                   |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Night Terror is very similar to Homonculous from the Prologue. They are  |
 | not only similar in appearance, but both are very easy to beat. Night    |
 | Terror relies on poisonous attacks, so use the Poison Sword for this     |
 | battle. The tar pit renders your dash useless and will slow you down     |
 | considerably. Since the tar takes up most of the arena, sticking to the  |
 | edge of the tar is somewhat hard to do.                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | The fiend will try to clobber you with his scrawny arms. This attack is  |
 | very weak, so don't worry if you get hit. Night Terror will also spew    |
 | poisonous mist at you. If you have the Poison Sword equipped, you won't  |
 | get poisoned. He can also use a devastating headbutt attack on you.      |
 | Unfortunately, Night Terror uses the tar to his advantage. He can dive   |
 | down in it and pop up somewhere else, usually right behind you.          |
 |                                                                          |
 | Your best bet is to end the fight quickly and attack him head on. His    |
 | short-range attacks are weak and it doesn't matter if you get hit a      |
 | couple of times; just watch your health. Attack with strong and long     |
 | combos on his face.                                                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | When he dives under, get out of the tar onto dry land. From here, you    |
 | can simply use your arm gun as he slowly comes towards you. It's an easy |
 | fight which can be beaten with two ways. Either slash him to death or    |
 | stay on the outside edge and shoot him. You will get back your oh so     |
 | lovely Cerebellum after defeating Night Terror.                          |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | An evil dragon demon that spits destructive fire from its mouth. Its     |
 | eyes are said to be able to see through anything.                        |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | You will be pitted against a giant fire serpent. Equip any of your fire  |
 | swords for this battle. Like most dragons, Draconus will most commonly   |
 | breathe fire at you. Run to its back to avoid the attack. It deals a lot |
 | of damage too, so get out of the way.                                    |
 |                                                                          |
 | He will also jump in the air and land, creating a small quake. The most  |
 | annoying attack Draconus has is the weakest, but will most likely        |
 | counterattack your moves. If you are up close, he will glow first, then  |
 | start to spin around. Back up when he glows to avoid falling down.       |
 |                                                                          |
 | The easiest way to defeat him is to shoot leg cannons at his head, which |
 | will deal the most damage. Always try to attack his head throughout the  |
 | battle, so when you are up close, jump and use spinning slashes on his   |
 | head. Remember to back up so you don't get hit in his spinning attack.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | That attack is the reason not to use combos in this fight. You will just |
 | get interrupted before you can finish off any combo. Stick to leg        |
 | cannons until you run out. After that, use jumping slashes to attack his |
 | head. Draconus will go down in no time, and you will regain a body part. |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND MISAKI                                                   | Lvl. 28 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | To kill Hyakkimaru, Misaki was transformed by Saburota into a Fiend. She |
 | realized her mistake the moment she was possessed, but fell to the       |
 | Fiend's dark taint.                                                      |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | That's right; our lovely swordswoman has been possessed by a fiend like  |
 | her brother and is going after Hyakkimaru. Of course, there's a big      |
 | level difference now. Most of her attacks still stay the same. Fiend     |
 | Misaki will still run at you and use a combo when up close. Misaki will  |
 | now also throw flaming knives at you. Both attacks are very simple to    |
 | dodge and shouldn't be a problem.                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Just because she's a fiend doesn't mean she is hard. Use the same        |
 | strategy on Misaki as in the last two battles. When she runs over to     |
 | attack you, get behind her and slash the hell out of her back. This      |
 | time, she doesn't fall to the ground anymore. When you defeat Fiend      |
 | Misaki, she will flee. That means no body part.                          |
 |                                                                          |

 | Fiend Misaki has been fully possessed, so you can use any weapon you     |
 | wish for this battle. Her moves are pretty much the same as the last     |
 | time you fought her as a fiend. She will use some simple combos with her |
 | sword which are easy to evade. She will also throw flaming knives at     |
 | your location.                                                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | Watch out for the knives because they are used as a long distance        |
 | attack. Misaki can now engulf herself in flames and do a running stab.   |
 | Her next new attack is where she will jump in the air and shoot fire. It |
 | is best to jump over to get behind the girl and attack her back.         |
 |                                                                          |
 | Continue to attack her back and use short combos to avoid getting hit as |
 | she quickly turns around. It is best to hit and run because she can      |
 | really put on the pain if you stay close to her for a long amount of     |
 | time. When you deplete all of Misaki's health, the fiend that has been   |
 | possessing her comes out of the sword and starts to fly around the       |
 | arena. Run up to the speedy thing and slash it to bits.                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | If you don't kill it in time, it will return to the sword and heal Fiend |
 | Misaki up to one third of her health. Make sure to take out the fiend    |
 | quickly to end the battle. You receive your Right Leg after the battle.  |
 | Now you will carry your leg cannon. It not only deals more damage, but   |
 | it will now carry twice the ammo!                                        |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Bearing swords on both arms, this Fiend feeds off of death and           |

 | Twin Blade is exactly like Great Horn and Goliath, so this battle should |
 | not be too tough. Equip a lightning sword but don't use it for the       |
 | battle; the arm blades are much better. He has all the same attacks as   |
 | the other two fiends, but one other that isn't a problem to avoid. Twin  |
 | Blade will pound the ground, sending out three energy waves. Jump or     |
 | dash to the side to avoid damage.                                        |
 |                                                                          |

 | them. When he tries any attack on you, run behind him and start up a     |
 | nice, long combo. When your combo ends, Twin Blade will most likely be   |
 | knocked to the ground, leaving him vulnerable.                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar, Twin Blade will use a shield like his   |
 | brothers, where he engulfs himself in flames. Touching him when the      |
 | flames are up will damage you, so just stay away until the shield dies   |
 | down. Once again, get behind him and slash away. When he's knocked down, |
 | keep on him with the combos. He's an extremely easy boss; I beat him     |
 | without getting hurt once.                                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once you destroy Twin Blade, you will get your ears back. Now when you   |
 | get attacked by an enemy and is sent flying into the air, press any      |
 | button to land on your feet for a faster recovery. It is a real nice     |
 | touch to when you're in battle with a group of enemies that are totally  |
 | kicking your ass.                                                        |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIRE GOLEM                                                     | Lvl. 12 |

 | This fire-dwelling Fiend feeds on flames. It can spit balls of fire from |
 | its mouth, but it also wields a powerful axe. Do not be fooled by its    |
 | strange movements.                                                       |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Hmm, his name is FIRE Golem, right? What does that mean? Slap on a fire  |
 | sword to minimize damage taken by him. Use the arm blades for this fight |
 | of course. Fire Golem's first attack is to shoot three fireballs out of  |
 | his mouth at you. Simply dash to either side to avoid getting hit. Most  |
 | of his attacks involve him using his mouth and shooting/blowing stuff at |
 | you. He will shoot out a wave of flames similar to a flamethrower in     |
 | your direction. Once again, just dash to the side and stay back.         |
 |                                                                          |
 | Fire Golem also likes to hop around and chant weird stuff a lot, so most |
 | of the time you can just run up and attack him without him even doing    |
 | anything. Use a good combo (Helicopter combo is pretty much the best one |
 | for any boss battle) and there is a chance that he will fall to the      |
 | ground. Even though he falls to the ground like in the previous boss     |
 | battle, stay away. Fire Golem will kick up to a standing position and    |
 | you will get hurt if you get hit with his big feet.                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | Fire Golem will use a new attack once you deplete the yellow bar. He'll  |
 | start to spin around very quickly and spin after you. He will spin for a |
 | long time and will cover a lot of distance, so always keep dashing away  |
 | from him. Don't stop until he stops spinning, or you will get hit and    |
 | take damage. Resume attacking Fire Golem and use your spirit attack if   |
 | you haven't already. Just like Twin Blade, this is another simple        |
 | battle. Once you kill Fire Golem, watch another cutscene.                |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | The demon that brought nutrients to Fiend sealed within the mountain. It |
 | devours anything, and won't stop until it is all consumed. It truly has  |
 | a bottomless stomach.                                                    |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | In all honesty, this guy is cake. Gaping Maw is incredibly slow and you  |
 | will find him just hopping around without a care most of the time. His   |
 | main attack is where he stretches his arms to smack you around. Dash to  |
 | either side to avoid his long arms. When Gaping Maw glows red, then get  |
 | out of the way because he'll start a big attack. When red, he will start |
 | to spin around and can really knock you around if not careful.           |
 |                                                                          |
 | The best way to deal damage to Gaping Maw is to simply run up to him and |
 | start a combo on his face. Sometimes Gaping Maw will teleport to another |
 | part of the arena, but he never goes far. He doesn't do much to defend,  |
 | so just hack and slash away until you take out two-thirds of his health. |
 |                                                                          |
 | When he's down to the red bar, Gaping Maw will start to run away like a  |
 | pansy. He's pretty quick and can kinda fake you out by turning the other |
 | way when you're next to him. As he runs away, Gaping Maw will regain     |
 | health, so stop him with an attack as quickly as possible.               |
 |                                                                          |
 | Gaping Maw also gains a new attack, which isn't very hard to avoid like  |
 | his other attacks. He will shoot laser beams out of his eyes which are   |
 | also very weak. Yawn. Just slice him to bits with your arm blades. This  |
 | is pretty much a joke battle; no real worries here.                      |
 |                                                                          |

 | The battle is a lot tougher than the first time you fought this guy.     |
 | Gaping Maw carries over all of his attacks from his last battle. He will |
 | extend his arms in an attempt to smack you around. Gaping Maw will also  |
 | shoot laser beams out of his eyeballs.                                   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Both of these attacks are very easy to dodge; you should have little     |
 | trouble avoiding his offensive maneuvers. He still remains to be very    |
 | annoying in this battle, so beat him down good. Attack his big noggin    |
 | for maximum damage and make sure to use your spirit attack here.         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Gaping Maw is down to his last bar of health, he will get a new     |
 | attack. He will not only run away from you, but will also drop bombs     |
 | behind that detonate seconds later. It is hard to chase him and avoid    |
 | the bombs, but your arm gun or leg cannon doesn't deal a lot of damage   |
 | in this fight. He will do this a lot when he's down to low health, so be |
 | patient. Gaping Maw is still annoying as hell here, and is definitely    |
 | harder than before. Keep on the fight to kill this foe once and for all. |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | A giant Fiend sealed within a mountain. Mio's temple was created to seal |
 | away the Fiend's heart.                                                  |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Huh, an arm?! That's what you're up against. This giant arm is very      |
 | large (obviously) and can go underground and pop out somewhere else.     |
 | Mountainous's first attack is simple: it will go underground and pop up  |
 | right under you. If the ground begins to glow, then he will come up from |
 | there. So make sure you're not standing on that spot or you'll get hit.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | When he comes up from the ground, he'll sometimes slap the ground and    |
 | rotate around. If you're near Mountainous, either get out of the way or  |
 | just jump over him when he comes around. Your main priority is to attack |
 | it with your leg cannons.                                                |
 |                                                                          |
 | Try to aim for the exposed flesh (the bright red parts not covered by    |
 | rocks) to deal more damage than normally. It can be pretty tough, since  |
 | he burrows all over the place. If you happen to run out of cannon ammo,  |
 | then use your sword.                                                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Mountainous pops from the ground, step on the rocks around him and  |
 | slash the exposed parts to deal a good amount of damage. You can also    |
 | use your spirit attack in this battle to get it over with faster. He     |
 | doesn't gain any new attacks or powers or anything like that throughout  |
 | the battle, so you can stick with the same strategy the whole way        |
 | through. Once you deplete the last bar of health, you win the battle.    |
 |                                                                          |

 | This battle is exactly the same as the other one except for one minor    |
 | condition. This fiend will now shoot fireballs out of the palm of its    |
 | hand. They are usually shot in three, so once you dodge the third one,   |
 | go in for the attack. You most likely don't have a lot of leg cannon     |
 | ammo (or any), so you will have to use your swords for the rest of this  |
 | battle.                                                                  |

 | Like before, jump on the rocky base when Mountainous pops out of the     |
 | ground. You will have very little time to attack the exposed flesh       |
 | before it goes underground again. This battle will take quite a bit of   |
 | time mostly because this guy doesn't give you a lot of time to attack.   |
 | Once you defeat Mountainous, you will witness another cutscene. Once     |
 | again, no body part because he's still alive!                            |
 |                                                                          |

 | As opposed to fighting giant arms, this time you'll have to fight the    |
 | fiend's eye. It is located high up on the mountain wall and you will be  |
 | down on the ground. There's no way to get up to it, so you will have to  |
 | resort to your arm gun and leg cannon. There is a large rock situated in |
 | the middle of the arena which you can use to hide behind.                |
 |                                                                          |
 | Mountainous will pause and shoot out a laser from its eyeball. Dodge it  |
 | and retaliate by using a leg cannon on the eye. If you ever run out of   |
 | cannon ammo, then kill the Rock Golems to get more. Watch out for any    |
 | meteors from the sky and continue to blast the eye with your leg cannon. |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you reduce Mountainous to the red bar of health, the eye laser will |
 | start to follow you. Now when it shoots out, run behind the rock, the    |
 | wait until it stops in order to hit it with a cannon. It's not a very    |
 | hard battle, but it may take a bit of time if you keep running out of    |
 | leg cannon ammo. Like before, you don't get a body part since the damn   |
 | thing isn't dead yet!                                                    |

 | First off, head to the middle temple to find the heart of the fiend in   |
 | the middle. Take out the basic enemies here first. Rock Golems can be    |
 | tough, so resort to throwing rocks at them as opposed to fighting them   |
 | up close. Grab the sword in the back and exit the temple. Head left to   |
 | the house next to the temple to find a bundle of fire bombs.             |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you go to grab them, tree roots will spring up from the ground.     |
 | Simply dodge them and grab the bombs. Return to the temple and equip     |
 | them. Throw them at Mountainous to damage it significantly.              |
 |                                                                          |
 | It doesn't really attack you at all, but demons will come throughout the |
 | battle. When you run out of bombs, return to the small house and grab    |
 | some more. Return to the temple and use them. Two trips finish the job   |
 | and finally kill the fiend of the mountain. Now Hyakkimaru will get back |
 | his sense of pain. Now whenever you're hit, the controller will rumble.  |
 |                                                                          |

 | This demon is covered in an armor-like layer of muscle. Its razor sharp  |
 | hands can cut through steel, and it feeds upon the flesh and blood of    |
 | the living.                                                              |

 | Goliath is very similar to Great Horn, the first fiend you battled       |
 | against in this game. Use your arm blades for this battle against him.   |
 | Goliath can use a three-hit combo where he will slash at you with his    |
 | claws up to three times. Back up or run behind him and attack.           |
 |                                                                          |
 | If you happen to be on the other side of the arena, Goliath will jump at |
 | you in an attempt to hit you with his claws. Goliath will also stab the  |
 | ground, sending out shockwaves. This attack is a bit harder to avoid     |
 | since the arena is fairly small. Attack his back with arm blade combos   |
 | to knock him over. Resume attacking Goliath when he's on the ground to   |
 | get in serious amounts of damage.                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete his yellow bar of health, Goliath will use yet another  |
 | attack. Now Goliath can cover his body in flames and start to attack     |
 | you. He is invincible when his flame shield is up, so evade his attacks  |
 | and wait for the flames to be extinguished.                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | Always attack the back of the creature to deal more damage than in the   |
 | front. Your Thunderstrike spirit attack takes out a lot of his health,   |
 | so remember to use it if you want a quick end to the battle. You will    |
 | get back your Adrenal Glands when you destroy Goliath.                   |

 | This Fiend of wind tortures humans with the destructive forces of wind,  |
 | summoning typhoons and other storms. Nothing can withstand the power of  |
 | wind.                                                                    |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This guy can be quite annoying during this battle with his constant      |
 | floating state. Wind Fiend only has two attacks, but one keeps getting   |
 | upgraded throughout the battle. His most common attack is a wind based   |
 | attack where he will spin around and shoot a tornado at you. This is     |
 | easily avoided by running behind him (while you're back there, attack    |
 | his back with jumping attacks).                                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | His second attack is laughably bad; Wind Fiend will inhale some air and  |
 | drag you towards him, then blow the air back and push you over. Switch   |
 | to your katana and repeatedly press Square while in the air to slash     |
 | Wind Fiend multiple times.                                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | Wind Fiend will start to shoot three tornadoes once his blue meter has   |
 | been depleted. They are moderately hard to dodge now, so you should drop |
 | down from the top area to the bottom (or vice versa if you're already on |
 | the bottom). Wind Fiend will fly around a lot and sometimes will fly so  |
 | far that you can't reach him with swords. When that happens, unload the  |
 | arm gun or leg cannon on him.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete his yellow bar of health, Wind Fiend will now shoot up  |
 | to four tornadoes at you. Things now get pretty hectic, so switch from   |
 | platform to platform to avoid getting hit. He will fly faster and more   |
 | often. If you happen to be under him at one moment in time, use your     |
 | Thunderstrike spirit attack to deal a lot of damage to him. Once you     |
 | finally kill Wind Fiend, you will now get your Abdominal Muscles back.   |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | These demon-possessed foxes earn their tails by living long and          |
 | mastering their evil powers. Three-Tailed Fox is not that powerful, but  |
 | its tails are extremely sharp.                                           |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This battle can be pretty damn annoying considering you have barely any  |
 | room to attack. And to make things worse, this guy can fly in the air    |
 | and attack you from far away. Switch to a sword if you happen to have a  |
 | 5-Body Slasher. If not, then just use your arm blades.                   |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Three-Tailed Fox will run out in the air and shoot sickles at you.   |
 | Dodge all three and it'll run to the other side of the wall. Dash to     |
 | keep up and when you come in contact with it, start to slash at it using |
 | big combos. It will most likely teleport behind you and run away again.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Three-Tailed Fox also has another attack later in the battle. It     |
 | will stand across from you and shoot out three fireballs at you. They    |
 | aren't hard to dodge like the sickles, so use that time to dash up to    |
 | him and get a nice combo or two out of him. The battle against this guy  |
 | is very easy, but can take a while since you end up having little time   |
 | to attack him before he flees in the air again.                          |
 |                                                                          |

 | SIX-TAILED FOX                                                 | Lvl. 16 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | These demon-possessed foxes earn their tails by living long and          |
 | mastering their evil powers. Six-Tailed Fox is relatively powerful, and  |
 | its tails shoot powerful lasers.                                         |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | You'll fight this beast in the courtyard of the manor, which isn't       |
 | particularly big. The Six-Tailed Fox is identical to his brother         |
 | appearance-wise, but they use different attacks in this battle. His      |
 | primary attack is a simple bite; it's used if you come too close to the  |
 | fiend. He likes to teleport around the courtyard in order to flee from   |
 | you or to just use an attack.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | If you're far away, then the fox will use a laser attack. He shoots out  |
 | six lasers from his tails as they all home in on your location. Run      |
 | towards the creature to avoid getting hit.                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | His second laser attack is where he shoots two lasers at you; one on the |
 | left and the other on the right. They will slowly come towards each      |
 | other, so jump over one to avoid damage. It is best to target his tails, |
 | which will deal the most damage when attacked. Also, it will keep you    |
 | safe from his mouth which is used to chomp at you.                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar, the fox will modify one of its attacks. |
 | Now when using the two-laser attack, the Six-Tailed Fox will shoot an    |
 | energy beam down the middle. Just like before, jump over either laser to |
 | dodge the attack.                                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Chase down the fiend when he teleports all over the place and use your   |
 | map to see where he's about to go before he appears there. Dash to the   |
 | location and attack his backside. The boss isn't really that hard        |
 | anyways. Once you defeat the Six-Tailed Fox, you get your Pancreas back. |
 |                                                                          |

 | NINE-TAILED FOX                                                | Lvl. 24 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Ill-natured and extremely manipulative, it tricks people into fighting   |
 | each other and feeds off the resulting hatred. Its 9 tails are a symbol  |
 | of its power and malevolence.                                            |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This boss is certainly tougher than the past two fox fiends you killed.  |
 | The punk floats around for the whole battle, so having to jump to attack |
 | him is a royal pain. Equip the Fire Sword +2 (you got it in front of     |
 | Daigo's Manor, didn't you?), but don't use it. Switch to your arm blades |
 | for this fight. The Nine-Tailed Fox will send out six nasty fireballs at |
 | you. Try to just dash around the fox to avoid getting hit by them.       |
 |                                                                          |
 | The next attack down his sleeve is where he throws three flame-covered   |
 | blades at you. Just like the previous attack, dashing is your best bet   |
 | in order to dodge them. The hardest attack to dodge is where the fiend   |
 | engulfs himself in flames, then proceeds to ram you several times. He's  |
 | very quick when he attacks, so be on your toes and be ready to dash to   |
 | the side at any given moment.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Your best bet is to jump in the air and press Square to do a spinning    |
 | slash. You will see that you are pretty much dealing no damage to it!    |
 | Don't worry, it's normal. At first, you can barely damage the fiend, but |
 | continue the assault. After a little while, a cutscene will be           |
 | triggered. Now you can really hurt the fox fiend.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Nine-Tailed Fox will also summon small floating foxes whom shoot     |
 | fireballs at you. Take them out before you focus on the big boss. The    |
 | fox will now also shoot nine fireballs at you. Like before, do your best |
 | do dash out of the way. It may be hard, since you will have to stop and  |
 | dash between fireballs.                                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | First, you may want to use leg cannons against the Nine-Tailed Fox for a |
 | safer attempt at this battle. They pack a punch and will take a lot out  |
 | of his health. Once you run out of ammo, then you can resume to your arm |
 | blades. The floating fox minions will always come back, so remember to   |
 | eliminate those nuisances before attacking the fiend. It's a pretty      |
 | difficult fight, as well as a long one at that. Once you defeat the      |
 | Nine-Tailed Fox, you get your precious heart back!                       |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | A cat possessed by a Fiend, it feeds upon the entrails of humans. Its    |
 | strength is fueled by human greed and lust. It fights with razor sharp   |
 | claws.                                                                   |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This big demon feline kinda reminds me of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in |
 | Wonderland. I don't know why, but he does. Anyways, the Hell Cat is a    |
 | feisty fella' since he likes to move around a lot. You will find him     |
 | jumping all over the place, not even trying to attack you that much.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | His most basic attack is a claw scratch that isn't much to worry about.  |
 | Hell Cat can also leap at you from a distance and attack. Sometimes Hell |
 | Cat will even burrow underground. Keep moving around to avoid getting    |
 | hit from below. It's hard to do, but try to get around the feline and    |
 | attack his back.                                                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow health, Hell Cat will start to do a slide    |
 | attack which will knock you on the ground. If this happens, he will      |
 | proceed to slice at you with his claws. Back out of the way when you see |
 | him run and slide towards you.                                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | If you attack his back enough, he will cower in fear and cover his head  |
 | with his big arms. I'm not sure why exactly, but continue to pelt him    |
 | with combos to possibly knock him over. Hell Cat isn't exactly easy      |
 | because of his agility, but you should not have a lot of trouble with    |
 | him either. This battle is kinda in the middle in terms of difficulty.   |
 |                                                                          |

 | It rides upon the stick it carries in its left hand, while striking with |
 | the axe in its right. All those who see this demon are doomed to die.    |

 | In all honesty, I was expecting Death to look like the grim reaper or    |
 | something like that. Instead, we get a Hellcrusher impersonator. Death   |
 | will use his trusty axe to slash at you. Not just that, but he also      |
 | wields a staff for other attacks. Sometimes he will shoot fireballs out  |
 | of the staff. He will also use more fire attacks with his staff.         |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you see glowing symbols appear on the ground, watch out, for that   |
 | area will erupt in flames. This guy will strangely use his staff as a    |
 | form of transportation. Death will jump on his staff and glide around,   |
 | using it like a frickin' skateboard. As he skates around, Death will try |
 | to slash you with his axe.                                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | You should not really try to damage Death as he skates around, just wait |
 | until he stops to start the attack. Attack his upper back/back of his    |
 | head to deal the most damage. You can use combos on him (use your arm    |
 | blades for this battle) or jumping slashes. It's pretty fun to battle a  |
 | guy who skates around on a wooden stick, but too bad that you'll be      |
 | killing him now. Once you kill Death (um, how is that possible?), a new  |
 | body part will come back to you.                                         |
 |                                                                          |

 | A monkey possessed by a Fiend, its long arms slash at its victims. It    |
 | was sealed away in a fox statue by Nine-Tailed Fox, who feared its       |
 | superior strength.                                                       |

 | This large gorilla is all about the power. His attacks are slow and      |
 | predictable, but they really knock you around if you get hit. Blood Ape  |
 | will start by swiping you with its massive paws. He can also raise his   |
 | arms and pound the ground, sending out shockwaves. When you see his arms |
 | high in the air, back up a reasonable distance to avoid the shockwaves   |
 | that occur after. His slow movements and predictable attack pattern      |
 | makes this fight an easy one.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Sometimes Blood Ape will get a little wild. He will leap around the      |
 | arena up to five times. Make sure to not be right where he will land, or |
 | you'll get squashed. Once he's done jumping around, resume your attack   |
 | on his head. Try attacking his head to get the most damage out of him.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | The leg cannon works wonders in this battle; aim and shoot at his head   |
 | to deal insane amounts of damage, making this easy fight even easier.    |
 | Those are his only attacks; keep with the same strategy to finish this   |
 | fight off in a breeze. You will get your Ribs back after the fight with  |
 | the Blood Ape.                                                           |

 | Throwing bombs from the pack it carries, this Fiend revels in the        |
 | destruction of all living creatures. It also attacks with its body, and  |
 | a large sword.                                                           |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Beast Fiend is a fat pig-looking thing with a backpack full of bombs. He |
 | will do a somersault slash and a butt slam, but his most common attack   |
 | is to drop bombs onto the ground. He usually drops 4 in the shape of a   |
 | diamond, but just stay away from his back altogether. Staying far away   |
 | isn't the key either, since he will shoot bombs from his backpack at     |
 | your location. The best way to attack him is to attack his stomach just  |
 | so you can be safe from the bombs.                                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar of health, Beast Fiend will now run away |
 | while dropping bombs. Sometimes he will drop one at a time, sometimes up |
 | to four. Either way, don't chase him or you'll have the bombs fall on    |
 | your head. Use your arm gun or leg cannon from a distance and aim for    |
 | the backpack, which is his weak point. Why wouldn't you want to shoot a  |
 | backpack filled to the brim with explosives?                             |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the Beast Fiend resumes normal attack methods, go back to attacking |
 | the front of his body. Only attack the backpack with long-range weapons. |
 | Once you take care of Beast Fiend, you will get another new body part.   |
 |                                                                          |

 | A possessed monk with the ability to change into a rat, otter, mole, and |
 | a frog. It kidnaps people and gives their faces to Legion, to whom they  |
 | pray faceless until they die.                                            |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This fiend is a short little rat man with a very pesky staff capable of  |
 | unleashing magic attacks. Redcap will use the staff for all of his       |
 | attacks. First off, this guy frequently teleports all over the place in  |
 | order to try to get the upper hand. The first attack is where he will    |
 | shoot a ball of lightning in your direction.                             |
 |                                                                          |
 | Redcap also uses a defensive attack where he creates an electric barrier |
 | to protect himself. You can't hurt him in this state, and you will take  |
 | damage if you touch it. Wait until it disappears to resume attacking.    |
 | Your best offensive maneuver is to rush to his side or back and give him |
 | a good combo.                                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once you unleash some slashes on Redcap, he will fall to the ground.     |
 | Utilize this by attacking him while he's on the ground. Just keep on     |
 | knocking him over to quickly deplete his health.                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | Once you take out the yellow bar, Redcap will disappear and summon       |
 | hordes of animals. They are very weak and are usually something pathetic |
 | like otters, rats, or frogs. You can easily destroy them, and sometimes  |
 | they even drop goodies. Resume the attack when Redcap reappears. Redcap  |
 | will also try to whack you with the staff while teleporting.             |
 |                                                                          |
 | Overall, the fight isn't that hard at all, especially if you have a nice |
 | lightning sword equipped to minimize lightning damage. Redcap's attacks  |
 | are not too threatening and his pattern of attack is easy to memorize.   |
 | Once you defeat Redcap, he flees in terror.                              |
 |                                                                          |

 | Redcap is more or less the same as the previous time you fought him, yet |
 | his attacks are a little different. Instead of shooting one ball of      |
 | lightning, he will shoot several at once towards you. When he shoots at  |
 | least one, you can slash him to interrupt the process. Sometimes he will |
 | only shoot one ball of lightning that travels on the ground. Don't jump  |
 | over it, because it will fly up and collide into you. Dash around it and |
 | get over to Redcap to hurt him some more.                                |
 |                                                                          |
 | The battle offensive wise is the same. Equip a lightning-based sword and |
 | run over to Redcap. Unleash the combos on him to knock the fiend over.   |
 | Keep attacking when he's down and the battle will be over quickly. You   |
 | receive your Left Arm after the battle. Now you can wield a katana as    |
 | well as an arm blade (the one still on your right arm).                  |
 |                                                                          |

 | THUNDER FIEND                                                  | Lvl. 25 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | This Fiend, unlike the true thunder god, only uses its thunder to put    |
 | fear into the hearts of men. Thunder generated by its drums is truly     |
 | powerful.                                                                |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Just like Redcap, equip a lightning sword to minimize the elemental      |
 | damage. He's another floater, so use jumping attacks to deal damage to   |
 | him. I prefer the arm blades, but you can also do quick slashes with the |
 | katana if you jump and repeatedly press Square. Thunder Fiend's first    |
 | attack consists of him shooting lasers out that slowly move around in    |
 | random directions. They are easily dodged by hiding right under him.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | He will also beat his drums as he unleashes bolts of lightning at you.   |
 | Like with the previous attack, your best bet is to hide directly under   |
 | him to avoid contact with the electricity.                               |
 |                                                                          |
 | His last attack deals the most damage and is the hardest to avoid.       |
 | Thunder Fiend will cover himself with electricity and rush towards you   |
 | several times. He will speed towards you back and forth without proper   |
 | notice; he does it so quick. Try do dash and avoid it.                   |
 |                                                                          |
 | The best way to attack him is like I said, with jumping slashes. You can |
 | use either arm blades or your katana for both are very good in this      |
 | battle. Try to stay close to him most of the time so you can run under   |
 | him when he uses an attack other than the charge attack.                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you're standing under him, you can attack his backside to hurt him  |
 | while avoiding the attack. You have a large playing field, so you have   |
 | plenty of space to run around. If you like, you can also use your leg    |
 | cannon, but it isn't recommended (save it for a later battle). Once you  |
 | defeat Thunder Fiend, you get back your Lateral Muscles.                 |
 |                                                                          |

 | It collects human faces and attaches them to its body. There, they cry   |
 | and suffer for eternity. It feeds off of pain, and attacks with thunder  |
 | and by squashing enemies.                                                |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Legion is a lightning-based fiend, like all of the other fiends here.    |
 | Equip a lightning sword to protect yourself from any elemental damage    |
 | during the battle, but stick with your arm blades for fighting. Just     |
 | like the Thunder Fiend, Legion also is a floating fiend.                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | Legion has six arms, and each wields a deadly weapon. He will use these  |
 | weapons to slash at you when up close. Another attack is where Legion    |
 | rises high in the air and crashes to the ground a second later. When you |
 | see him fly up, just run away and make sure to be far from the cast      |
 | shadow. The fiend will also shoot a lightning blast at you. When you see |
 | a glowing ring form in front of him, then watch out.                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | In order to actually hurt this guy, stick with the same strategy for the |
 | other mid-air fiends. Jump and press either Square or Triangle to simply |
 | slash him. it may take a while, but it's the best strategy. The arena is |
 | pretty annoying, since most of it is pure ice. Dashing on it does        |
 | nothing at all and can be a pain to try and fight the boss while sliding |
 | around. Try to stay on the snowy part to avoid problems and annoyances.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Legion's blue bar is depleted, he will gain an attack. Legion will  |
 | start to shoot yellow rings that circle around before hitting you. The   |
 | best way to avoid the attack is to run towards Legion and you should be  |
 | safe. Continue to use jumping slashes to deplete his health.             |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the yellow bar is depleted, Legion will add yet another attack to   |
 | his arsenal. Now Legion will shoot a laser beam out of him and'll slowly |
 | spin around as the beam protrudes from him. You will have to either run  |
 | away from it or double jump over the beam entirely.                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | This is a challenging fight that will take quite a while. You'll manage  |
 | to get your nose back after beating Legion. Now the controller rumbles   |
 | when around a demon. How useful...                                       |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | This Fiend is neither living nor dead. It drags people into the world of |
 | death, giving them eternal life as slaves of hell.                       |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This guy is pretty much identical to Grave Golem from the first Chapter. |
 | Since this Chapter takes place in an icy wasteland, this guy obviously   |
 | has ice-based attacks. Equip any ice sword to prevent from being frozen  |
 | during the battle. Soul Stealer has all of the same attacks as his       |
 | brother from Chapter 1.                                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Soul Stealer glows red, watch out as he dashes towards you. The     |
 | room is so small here, so you may have a tough time doing so. When Soul  |
 | Stealer rises up in the air, he will fall to the ground and create big   |
 | shockwaves. Jump over the shockwaves to avoid getting hurt.              |
 |                                                                          |
 | Attack the giant monster with your spirit attack and leg cannons off the |
 | bat. That should deal a lot of damage to him and probably bring him down |
 | to the red bar or close to it. His attacks are very predictable and      |
 | somewhat easy to dodge. They are weak anyways, so don't worry if you     |
 | can't dodge them all that well. Finish him off with sword combos and he  |
 | will go down fast. That's the end to yet another easy battle.            |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | This steel Fiend emits a blue flame that burns hotter than the flames of |
 | the Giant Fire Wheel. It burns and slashes all those in its way.         |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | You may recognize this fiend; he looks just like the Giant Fire Wheel    |
 | from Chapter 2. Except for one thing, this guy has blue flames around    |
 | his body as opposed to red and they are much stronger and deadlier.      |
 |                                                                          |
 | He certainly likes to roll around and try to mow you down throughout the |
 | battle. Those are really his only attacks. Attacking him is a pain, so   |
 | equip a fire sword to reduce any damage. When you try to attack his      |
 | side, he will most likely turn to face you and you'll get hit by his     |
 | flames. Try to use tiny combos to get them over with before he hits you. |
 |                                                                          |
 | Giant Inferno Wheel doesn't gain any new attacks in the battle, so       |
 | avoiding his one attack is all you need to worry about. The terrain is   |
 | rocky, so it's pretty hard to get around in time to dodge his attacks.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | I found it best to use your spirit attack and your leg cannons right at  |
 | the start of the battle just to get it over with. If you do manage to    |
 | pull off a combo on this guy, he will spin out of control and fall to    |
 | the ground. It's hard to attack him on the ground, because you will most |
 | likely get hit by flames or spikes as he spins around. Stick to a hit    |
 | and run method and the wheel will fall in no time.                       |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | This disfigured Fiend is the result of countless possessions of          |
 | different creatures. It has the shape of a human, the strength of a      |
 | bull, and the shell of a crab.                                           |

 | As you can see, his level is really high, so you may want to revisit him |
 | later. Minotaur is really tough either way, and it will take a while to  |
 | beat him. His most common attack is predictable, but deadly nonetheless. |
 | Minotaur will start to glow green, then spin his spear and try to ram    |
 | you. Quickly dash to the side once you see him turn green.               |
 |                                                                          |
 | The beast will also shoot laser beams at you, do your best to get around |
 | him to safety. Of course, he will use the spear in his hand to slash at  |
 | you if up close, so watch out for short-range attacks as well. His last  |
 | attack is easy to avoid as well. The creature will jump in the air for a |
 | little while. Stay away from his cast shadow, because he will come down  |
 | and plunge his spear into the ground. If you happen to be under him,     |
 | then say goodbye to most of your health.                                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | The key to beating this guy is to catch him off guard. Stay far away     |
 | from him and wait for him to charge at you. Dodge and he will stop after |
 | charging for a second or two. This is a good time to hack away at his    |
 | back with arm blade combos. You can't knock him down, but it's the best  |
 | way to attack him without him counterattacking. This is a good time to   |
 | also use your Thunderstrike spirit attack on him to take out a lot of    |
 | his health.                                                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | Keep pummeling Minotaur with all you've got. Another good way to attack  |
 | him is when he is using his laser attack. Run up behind him and slash at |
 | the back of his neck to deal maximum damage. You can deal the most       |
 | damage to him by attacking his head, so take note of that. When you      |
 | deplete the yellow bar of health, Minotaur will combine two attacks.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | Now as he tries to ram you, he will also shoot laser beams at you. This  |
 | attack makes dodging a lot more difficult, so you may want to run far    |
 | away when he uses this attack. This is a good time to unload your leg    |
 | cannons on him from afar. It is a tough battle, so it's alright if you   |
 | have to use a 1-up. Once you finally defeat Minotaur, you get another    |
 | body part. Hoo, tough battle!                                            |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Once belonging to Daigo, Midoro was possessed by a fiend after it was    |
 | given to Saburota. It became the embodiment of the anger of all horses   |
 | that have died in battle.                                                |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | It looks like Daigo's horse has been turned into a fiend. It looks quite |
 | menacing, but you'll be surprised on how easy the boss fight turns out.  |
 | Midoro will spend most of the battle running around and teleporting      |
 | around the area. He also has two attacks which are nothing that you      |
 | should worry about as they are pathetic and weak.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | The first is where Midoro will inhale, then spew out a gust of wind in   |
 | your direction. The easiest way to not take damage is to run to the side |
 | or back of him when he uses the attack. He will also glow blue for a few |
 | seconds, then rush at you. Midoro uses this attack most when he first    |
 | teleports. He will usually teleport, then follow up by charging at you.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | Catch up to the beast and attack its side using combos. You don't have   |
 | to beware of any elemental weaknesses, so you can use any weapon you     |
 | like. Midoro doesn't gain any new attacks either through the battle, so  |
 | it's relatively the same the whole way. The battle is mostly just a game |
 | of cat and mouse: Midoro will run away most of the time; just chase and  |
 | beat him down. You will get back your Right Eye once you defeat Midoro.  |
 |                                                                          |

 | BOAR FIEND                                                     | Lvl. 33 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | It summons lesser demons from the box on its back. It uses its large     |
 | body as another form of attack, as well as the knife it carries.         |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Boar Fiend is the cousin of the Beast Fiend (an optional boss in Chapter |
 | 4). The battle is pretty interesting, since the creature uses explosives |
 | as his weapon of choice. Boar Fiend also carries around a saber, which   |
 | he will use as well.                                                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | Boar Fiend's first attack is where he will jump and flips in the air,    |
 | slashing the ground as he comes down. Only worry about this attack if he |
 | comes near you; you will be fine if you don't get hit by the saber.      |
 |                                                                          |
 | The fiend will use an attack which involves him jumping in the air and   |
 | slamming his butt into the ground, causing a shockwave. Boar Fiend will  |
 | use his backpack to release several bombs, which explode in a second or  |
 | two after being dropped. Not only that, but this boss will summon lesser |
 | enemies into the fight.                                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | Your best bet for this fight is to attack the front of the beast. It's a |
 | real pain to attack his back, knowing that as you're slashing him, bombs |
 | are falling from his backpack onto you. It's safer to just stay away     |
 | from the bombs at all times and stick to the front of him. After a bit   |
 | of getting whooped by you, Boar Fiend will start to run away.            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Don't chase him though, because he will drop bombs behind him as he runs |
 | around. Use your arm gun or leg cannon from afar to damage the big guy.  |
 | When you deplete the yellow meter, Boar Fiend will stop summoning weak   |
 | enemies and start to call forth Bloodstone Golems. They are tough, but   |
 | best if quickly taken out with leg cannons. The battle with Boar Fiend   |
 | is pretty neat, but you shouldn't have much difficulty during it either. |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | A very powerful sorcerer, it is said to be the creator of the            |
 | labyrinth-like Cursed Forest. It is also said that those who dare look   |
 | at its face will be eaten whole.                                         |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This short little dude is pretty annoying, since he likes to teleport    |
 | all over the place like Redcap. The area you're fighting in is a large   |
 | circle, so you don't have a lot of room to fight in. Cursed Monk is a    |
 | small guy who has a really long tongue which is used to attack with. He  |
 | will stick out his tongue really far in order to hit you with it. The    |
 | attack can poison you, so equip a sword that protects you from poison.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Chase him down whenever he teleports by using your map to see where he   |
 | is. Slice him with your arm blades since they are most likely at a high  |
 | enough level. His most annoying attack is where he will start to spin    |
 | around which causes him to catch on fire. Then he will spin towards at   |
 | you, damaging you a lot if you get hit.                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | There isn't a lot of room to dodge his attacks, so instead of dashing to |
 | the side, just run away. Attack him anywhere you want; it doesn't matter |
 | if you target the front or back. Sometimes if attacked enough, Cursed    |
 | Monk will fall to the ground and play dead. Don't fall for it and use    |
 | that opportunity to slash him even more and deal more damage.            |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete his yellow health bar, the little creature will begin   |
 | to teleport much more often, making the battle more frustrating. Don't   |
 | bother using leg cannon or your arm gun, but a spirit attack will work   |
 | nicely. You'll get another body part once you defeat the Cursed Monk.    |
 |                                                                          |

 | DRAGON TANK                                                    | Lvl. 29 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | This Fiend rides on a tank developed by Daigo as the ultimate weapon.    |
 | Flames from its mouth turn even bones to ash, and its drill can destroy  |
 | even the hardest stone.                                                  |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | What the hell, you have to fight a fiend as the pathetic Dororo?! Good   |
 | thing that this boss fight is a joke. The area you're fighting in is a   |
 | small room with a giant hole in the middle. At the opposite end from     |
 | where you entered is an alcove with fire bombs inside. Run over there    |
 | and grab the fire bombs.                                                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Dragon Tank will drive towards your location and stop. When it       |
 | stops, it will start to use a tail laser attack which deals a lot of     |
 | damage. Interrupt his attack by standing to his side and throwing a fire |
 | bomb at him. That should knock off his balance; throw one more at him to |
 | make him fall into the hole to the bottom. He's not dead just yet, so    |
 | there's no new body part.                                                |
 |                                                                          |

 | Now you will have to fight the Dragon Tank for good! Dragon Tank will    |
 | continuously try to run you over most of the battle. He also uses its    |
 | tail laser like in the last encounter. Dragon Tank also shoots out fire  |
 | from his mouth. Run to his side or back to avoid the attack. When he     |
 | gets on his back wheels, then run out of the way before he charges.      |
 |                                                                          |
 | Since Dororo is a pansy, stick to fire bombs in this battle. Jump up on  |
 | the wooden boxes to find some fire bombs. There is a rice ball on the    |
 | other side of the room (remember, all items here respawn after a while). |
 |                                                                          |
 | All you have to do is continuously chuck fire bombs at Dragon Tank. He   |
 | doesn't gain any new attacks or powers through the battle either. It is  |
 | best to attack Dragon Tank when he's not moving. This is usually when    |
 | he's about to use his tail laser or flame attack. When he is stationary, |
 | hurl as many bombs as you can to deplete his health. Sure, you can also  |
 | punch him, but that deals barely any damage. Keep it up until Dragon     |
 | Tank is dead. Hyakkimaru will get his Teeth back once the battle ends.   |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | The mother of all Demons, it is much more powerful than the Ogress. It   |
 | uses bolts of powerful lightning to attack, as well as powerful claws    |
 | and beams from its eyes.                                                 |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This battle is identical to the battle with the Ogress in Chapter 1.     |
 | Demon Ogress will float throughout the battle. Her first attack is a     |
 | simple spin punch that deals little damage. Simply back up to avoid the  |
 | close-range attack. Demon Ogress shoots lightning blasts out of her      |
 | hands, but it's weak and easy to dodge.                                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | The Demon Ogress will also fly high into the air and charge up a big     |
 | attack. She shoots out a red beam at you. Not only is the red beam very  |
 | dangerous, but it will send out a shockwave too high to jump over. When  |
 | she starts to charge up for the attack, run under you and you will miss  |
 | the beam and the shockwave. Simply use combos to deplete her health.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | When Demon Ogress reaches the red bar, she will use a new move. She will |
 | float up in the air and start to heal herself. That's not very good on   |
 | your part, so interrupt the attack as quickly as possible.               |
 |                                                                          |
 | When she flies up in the air, shoot a leg cannon at her to stop her from |
 | healing any health back. Whenever Demon Ogress is high in the air, stick |
 | to your arm gun or leg cannon. When she is back on the ground, use arm   |
 | blade combos on her. You will get back your Lungs when you finally kill  |
 | the Demon Ogress. Good riddance!                                         |
 |                                                                          |

 | SNAKE EYES SABUROTA                                            | Lvl. 40 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Created by the Fiends to defeat Hyakkimaru, he has no heart, and cannot  |
 | travel in areas the Fiends do not control. In areas they do control, he  |
 | has absolute power.                                                      |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Snake Eyes Saburota is a fire-based enemy, so the best sword to equip is |
 | the Phoenix Sword. If you don't have it, any other fire sword will do.   |
 | The arena is booby-trapped with flamethrowers all around, so stray from  |
 | the edges of the fighting arena. Snake Eyes Saburota has named his big   |
 | attacks, so you can refer to which one after he yells it out.            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Rain of Fire is where he will jump in the air and shoot a stream of fire |
 | at you. Don't run to the side, but dash under him and start unleashing   |
 | attack on him. Night Circle is where Saburota will spin his spear,       |
 | releasing a giant fire wheel at you. Dash to either side to avoid the    |
 | attack. Black Mist is the most noticeable attack to predict. Saburota    |
 | will jump in the air and yell "take this!". He'll shoot a massive amount |
 | of flames in your direction.                                             |
 |                                                                          |
 | Snake Eyes Saburota is as talented fighting-wise as Hyakkimaru is. You   |
 | will find yourself getting countered a lot in this battle. Saburota has  |
 | some devastating spear combos that can knock you over. Right off the     |
 | bat, use your strongest spirit attack on him. He will most likely dash   |
 | over to you and get ready to use a combo. Jump to get behind him and use |
 | a strong combo (Helicopter Combo for instance) to knock him down.        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Saburota will sometimes lure you over to the flamethrowers (for some     |
 | dumb reason, he can't get hurt by them but you can); don't follow him    |
 | unless you want to get torched. Stay to the center of the arena and      |
 | slowly attack him combo after combo. Don't be afraid to back off after a |
 | while to avoid getting countered. It's a pretty tough fight, and a very  |
 | shocking cutscene awaits after you defeat Saburota.                      |
 |                                                                          |

 | CHIMERA                                                        | Lvl. 46 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Five Fiends possessed Daigo to form this beast. Daigo's last sliver of   |
 | humanity weakened it just enough for Hyakkimaru to win.                  |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | You would think that five fiends molded into one large fiend would be    |
 | tough, but you're wrong. Chimera will lunge at you in order to bite at   |
 | you. The Chimera also uses a meteor attack where it will sit on the      |
 | ground and rear its head up. Watch for the shadows to avoid getting hit  |
 | by the incoming meteors, because those suckers hurt.                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | When he sticks his tail into the ground, dash to the side because a rock |
 | will shoot out of the ground where you were standing. Chimera will also  |
 | shoot a beam of electricity out of its mouth, but you can avoid it by    |
 | getting away from its head.                                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | The easiest way to attack the beast is with your new sword: the Fiend    |
 | Slayer Sword. The best way to attack him is to slash at his sides using  |
 | long combos that deal maximum damage. It's best to always stay up close  |
 | to him because his close-range attacks are far weaker than his long-     |
 | range ones. If you successfully connect with a combo, it will knock him  |
 | silly, rendering him useless for a second or two.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | Use this advantage to start another combo on him. He's most vulnerable   |
 | on his head, but you will have an easier and safer time attacking the    |
 | side of his head rather than his face. The Chimera is easy but won't go  |
 | down with a fight. It might take a little while, but it's worth it.      |
 | Since Chimera is technically five fiends fused into one, you get five    |
 | new body parts! Good deal, eh?                                           |
 |                                                                          |

 | FIEND TAHOUMARU                                                | Lvl. 47 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | Tahoumaru was possessed by the spirits of the Fiends that Hyakkimaru had |
 | slain. More powerful than ever, Tahoumaru stood against Hyakkimaru.      |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Tahoumaru has also been possessed by a fiend, and he's one tough cookie. |
 | He is a quick little guy, and he will sometimes dash towards you and let |
 | out a combo or two. If you are far away from him, he will shoot out      |
 | several lightning blasts at you. These can be avoided by dashing around  |
 | them.                                                                    |
 |                                                                          |
 | Tahoumaru has a strong sword swipe attack that can knock you right on    |
 | the ground. To avoid getting knocked to the ground, repeatedly hit any   |
 | button to land on your feet and go attack him without notice. Try to get |
 | to his back and attack him since you really don't want to be open right  |
 | in front of his deadly sword.                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the blue meter, Fiend Tahoumaru will start to charge    |
 | himself with electricity and run at you. This attack can also knock you  |
 | over, so try to land on your feet if you get attacked. He will also      |
 | start to heal himself throughout the battle. When you hear him laugh,    |
 | attack him to interrupt the process.                                     |
 |                                                                          |
 | Like Chimera, you can disorient Tahoumaru for a second, leaving him open |
 | for a serious combo or two. The battle is very intense and may take a    |
 | while. Don't worry if you have to use an extra life either. Once you     |
 | defeat Fiend Tahoumaru, you will witness another cutscene.               |
 |                                                                          |

 | WHITE DRAGON                                                   | Lvl. 43 |
 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | This dragon demon has existed since before the birth of man. Its white   |
 | color implies holiness, but it is actually evil. It grants death to all  |
 | those who look upon it.                                                  |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | Definitely equip an ice sword to protect you from most of his attacks.   |
 | White Dragon is just like Draconus, but uses all ice attacks. His        |
 | close-range attacks involve a head smash attack where he will smack you  |
 | with his head. The beast can also spin around and knock you over, which  |
 | is annoying. Sometimes he will also lunge at you if you are somewhat far |
 | away. All of these are easy to dodge, except for this last one.          |
 |                                                                          |
 | White Dragon will jump high in the air and come crashing down, causing   |
 | some shockwaves to come towards you. If you get hit, you will be frozen  |
 | (unless you have an ice sword equipped). Attack his neck and head to     |
 | deal the most damage possible. Of course, use your arm blades and hack   |
 | away at the front of the serpent.                                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the White Dragon is reduced to his red bar of health, he will use a |
 | new devastating attack. His mouth will shine for a second, then he spews |
 | a gust of icy air at you. This can also freeze you if you don't have a   |
 | proper sword equipped. The best way to attack him now is to run up to    |
 | him when you see his mouth shine. Slash at his neck and the ice attack   |
 | will blow right over you. Keep slashing his neck and head and use your   |
 | spirit attack to end the battle quickly.                                 |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | This Fiend scares those who wander at night. If it shows an angry face,  |
 | if will attack with fire, a happy face, it will give items, and a sad    |
 | face will summon demons.                                                 |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | If you had little trouble with Inquisitor from the first chapter, then   |
 | you most likely won't have a problem with this guy. Like the guy's name  |
 | implies, he has three different faces. The blue is sad face, yellow is   |
 | normal, and red is angry. The heads will rotate and randomly stop.       |
 |                                                                          |
 | Whatever face was stopped on, that's what face will be used for a        |
 | portion of the battle. The blue guy doesn't do anything other than run   |
 | away and summon enemies. Chase after him and attack as he tries to flee. |
 | The yellow face runs away as well, but he will drop bombs behind him.    |
 | Use your arm gun or leg cannon to damage him.                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | When the red face comes up is where the true battle begins. This is the  |
 | only remotely hard face out of the three. He will try to ram you at the  |
 | start of things and pummel you with his feet. When Three Face stops      |
 | moving, then he is going to shoot out fire. He rotates while shooting    |
 | fire in a 360-degree angle, so just run around to the other side and     |
 | attack. He can do this attack up to three times in a row as well. Attack |
 | with your spirit attack and with arm blade combos, and this battle will  |
 | be over in a flash.                                                      |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | A three-horned giant, it carries a spear that is nearly twice as long as |
 | a man. It is also said to be the lord of all skeletal demons.            |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This battle is incredibly easy, just like the Impaler battle from        |
 | Chapter 2. His large javelin will be used to poke, cut, and slice you    |
 | throughout the battle. He will try to jab at you three times for his     |
 | first attack. If you're standing next to him, he also swings his javelin |
 | to knock you away.                                                       |
 |                                                                          |
 | Now for the good news: Bloodgore is really weak and slow, so run up to   |
 | the front of him and hack away with a weapon of your choice. Sometimes   |
 | he will also shoot a cyclone out of his spear, but that isn't hard to    |
 | dodge either.                                                            |
 |                                                                          |
 | Attack his face to deal maximum damage to him. When Bloodgore gets down  |
 | to his red bar of health, he will shoot out a ball of energy just like   |
 | his twin. The energy ball travels very slow and is easy to dodge. Take   |
 | him out with your spirit attack to end the fight quickly. Don't bother   |
 | wasting any leg cannon ammo; save it when you actually need it.          |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | This fiend feeds on the entrails of those slain in battle, using its     |
 | tail-like appendage. It thrives in foggy areas where war is common.      |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This weird little guy fights just like Chapter 1's Dream Eater. He       |
 | floats in the air, but low enough that you can attack with combos.       |
 | Carrion Feeder doesn't use the poison gas attack any more, but the other |
 | attacks still stay the same. He will shoot several energy bursts at you  |
 | that aren't very deadly.                                                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | Like his brother, Carrion Feeder will be annoying and teleport all over  |
 | the room. When you see the blip on the map, rush to that location and    |
 | attack him when he appears there. Any combo will do or you can just      |
 | stick with jumping slashes.                                              |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete the yellow bar of health, Carrion Feeder will start to  |
 | shoot numerous laser beams at you. These are a little harder to dodge,   |
 | so start to run towards him when you see them get shot. Stay right in    |
 | front of him (near his hand) and attack the front of the creature to     |
 | avoid the lasers while depleting his health. This is another very easy   |
 | battle, so I doubt you will have any trouble during it.                  |
 |                                                                          |

 o----------------------------------------------------------------o---------o
 | The Fiends created Dororo using Hyakkimaru's body parts. The Behemoth    |
 | was the Fiend that lived in Dororo and was charged with the task of      |
 | guarding all the 48 body parts.                                          |
 o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o
 |                                                                          |
 | This fiend is by far the hardest in the game and is composed of several  |
 | stages. Make sure you meet the requirements above before challenging     |
 | this guy; you know, unless you want to die a lot.                        |
 |                                                                          |
 | The first stage is the easiest. Behemoth will be flying in the air for   |
 | the whole stage and will fire energy blasts at you. Switch to a single   |
 | sword for this stage (it takes longer for Hyakkimaru to switch from arm  |
 | blades to single sword, then pull out the cannon. It's just a waste of   |
 | time) but you will be using your leg cannon the whole time.              |
 |                                                                          |
 | Behemoth will shoot out four fireballs at you. Dash to the side and pull |
 | out your cannon once all four are dodged. He will stand there for a      |
 | second or two, so shoot his chest with your leg cannon to deal some      |
 | damage. Behemoth has a laser attack where he will shoot two lasers that  |
 | come from both sides at you. They will come towards you, but never meet. |
 | That means if you stay in the middle at all times, you won't get it.     |
 |                                                                          |
 | Use this time to attack with more leg cannons. When Behemoth gets to the |
 | red area, he will shoot up to 12 yellow blasts at you. Dodge 4 at a time |
 | to avoid getting hit by all of them. Don't worry if you start to run out |
 | of leg cannon ammo. Behemoth will shoot blue energy blasts at you. If    |
 | you jump and slash them, you get cannon ammo. Keep shooting him with     |
 | your leg cannon to deplete his health. Also, the pillars in the area can |
 | be destroyed by Behemoths attacks. They will sometimes drop Rice Balls.  |
 |                                                                          |
 | The next stage is also pretty easy. Behemoth will fly down and cling to  |
 | the edge of the arena, exposing his upper body. His tail swings back and |
 | forth across the arena throughout the battle. When it comes towards you, |
 | jump and attack the tail. It will fall on the ground. Jump on the top of |
 | the tail (it is shaped like a hand) and wait for the tail to rise up     |
 | towards Behemoth's face.                                                 |
 |                                                                          |
 | Here you can unleash some strong combos on his face, as well as a spirit |
 | attack. After a while of attacking, he will get hurt and the tail will   |
 | throw you to the ground. If you aren't quick enough with your attacks,   |
 | he will use his horns to shoot electricity at you. You will have to      |
 | repeat this strategy four or five times to deplete all of his health and |
 | end the stage.                                                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | The first thing to do in this fight is to equip the Sword of Clarity.    |
 | Believe me, it will help. This is the toughest stage so far, and         |
 | Behemoth seems to be pissed after you sliced his head in half. The       |
 | objective of this stage is to destroy all six horns on his back. The     |
 | first attack is where Behemoth will unleash shockwaves on the ground,    |
 | which can be avoided by simply jumping over them. No biggie.             |
 |                                                                          |
 | You must reach the tail and climb up the back towards the horns, but it  |
 | isn't as easy as one would think. Behemoth will shoot out a massive beam |
 | of energy from his mouth. He will be stationary, so run towards his big  |
 | tail. Once you're on your way, the horns on his back will shoot beams at |
 | you. Without the Sword of Clarity, you would be stunned by the attack.   |
 |                                                                          |
 | Run up the tail to his back. Attack the closest horn on his back with    |
 | combos. After about 15 or 20 seconds, his tail will grab you and throw   |
 | you off. Immediately press X and jump to the side so you don't land in   |
 | his beam attack.                                                         |
 |                                                                          |
 | You can actually get lucky and try to use your spirit attack at the      |
 | right time on his back. If you use the spirit attack at the same time as |
 | his tail goes to pick you up, you will damage the tail and get another   |
 | round on his back. Keep doing this to take out all six horns and move on |
 | to the last stage of the fight.                                          |
 |                                                                          |
 | The final stage is most definitely the hardest and most frustrating.     |
 | Behemoth will fly in the air again and will dive down and speed towards  |
 | you. What you must do is stop him by attacking him with combos right as  |
 | he's about to collide with you. It's hard, because you must deplete all  |
 | of its health (all three bars!) without getting plowed through. If you   |
 | fail to do this, Behemoth will regain all of his health while up in the  |
 | air again. I recommend using just your katana for this stage since the   |
 | combos with one sword is stronger than your arm blades.                  |
 |                                                                          |
 | As he swoops down towards you, time your attack and have your first      |
 | slash hit the beast. Continue your combo as it tries to run through you. |
 | You MAY need to quickly use a second combo if the first one ends to take |
 | out his health. It is waaaay harder than I make it sound, so keep on     |
 | practicing. Also, if you use the Thunderstrike spirit attack right when  |
 | Behemoth is about to collide with you, you will take out all of his      |
 | health in one shot.                                                      |
 |                                                                          |
 | When you deplete all of his health, Behemoth's heart will fall to the    |
 | ground, still connected to beast. What you must do is use your Charge    |
 | Attack. Press and hold Triangle to charge up your sword, and when it     |
 | flashes, let go. You will now have to enter a series of button combos in |
 | the designated amount of time (it's a bar, not a timer). You will have   |
 | to perform 48 slices to finally kill Behemoth.                           |
 |                                                                          |
 | Getting 48 slices is friggin' hard as hell, but can be made much easier. |
 | If you have Sword of Eighth Cloud (I told you to get it), equip it. This |
 | will reduce the number of slashes from 48 to a measly 16 times. It is    |
 | definitely worth it and makes this stage a lot easier. Remember to press |
 | Triangle after hitting the number of slashes needed. Once you complete   |
 | this part, the battle is finally over! Good job on beating the game!     |
 |                                                                          |

 9] GAME REVIEW                                                         [0900]
______________________________________________________________________________

I'm well aware that hack-n-slash games aren't on everyone's favorite list in 
terms of game genres. Well, I enjoy them for the most part. Blood Will Tell is 
one of those gosh-forsaken hack-n-slash games. Unfortunately, it has a very 
low publicity rate; the game is not very well known. It's a real shame, for 
Blood Will Tell is probably the best hack-n-slash game I've played. And for 
the record, I have played all of the Devil May Cry games and the Ninja Gaiden. 
Yep, that's right, I wholeheartedly think that Blood Will Tell is better than 
the DMC and NG series. 


Story
I'd like to remind you that this section contains some spoilers. Read at your 
own risk. 

Blood Will Tell is a game based on a story by Tezuka Osamu. Osamu is well 
known for the story behind such animes as Dororo, and the more popular Astro 
Boy. Blood Will Tell is mainly based around the Dororo anime. The story in 
Blood Will Tell is simply one of the best storylines I have ever heard in a 
video game. The story slowly starts off as we learn that 48 Fiends are 
wreaking havoc on the earth (set in a feudal Japan era). The Gods have 
informed the evil fiends that one child will be born and grow up into a 
powerful warrior, who will in turn destroy the Fiends.

The Fiends trick a foolish warrior, Daigo, into offering them his baby son. 
The Fiends take this baby and basically steal 48 of his body parts, knowing 
that the baby is the warrior from the prophecy. In turn, Daigo is given great 
power. Daigo then tries to rid the world of the baby by leaving him in a 
river. Fortunately, a kind doctor finds the baby and takes him in. The doctor, 
Jyukai, ends up revitalizing him by restoring all of his body parts with 
mechanized substitutes. Years pass, and the baby soon grows up into an adult. 
Not just any adult, but a warrior. Not just any warrior, but a warrior that is 
given the task to kill the fiends and regain his real body parts.

This warrior, Hyakkimaru, now has to set off on a wild journey to rid the 
world of all 48 fiends and get his stolen body parts back. Not only that, but 
he will meet up with Daigo and others.


Graphics
The graphics are probably the worst part of Blood Will Tell. They aren't very 
flashy compared to other games on the current systems. The mood of the game is 
very bland, so all of the areas have bland colors; mostly shades of brown or 
gray. The visuals are also pretty grainy. Some of the areas and character 
models are grainy. Some models also tend to be a tad blocky as well. The 
Fiends on the other hand, look very good. They are very big and detailed, and 
the intense battles are fine; nothing wrong with any frame rate. A very neat 
addition to the graphics is that the game starts off in black and white. It's 
like that for around a half hour into the game, because Hyakkimaru is missing 
one of his eyes. So after playing through black and white and you get your eye 
back from the second Fiend, you are able to see the rest of the game in color. 

Despite the overall lame graphics, the cutscenes for the game are awesome. For 
the important body parts, you are able to view cutscenes where Hyakkimaru 
regains some of the parts. For example, cutscenes where Hyakkimaru's fake eye 
pops out and lands onto his hand, where the real eye grows into the socket. 
Sounds gross, but the graphics in the cutscenes look absolutely beautiful. So, 
in short, the in-game graphics could be better, but the cutscenes rock.


Controls
Hey, I find nothing wrong with them overall. The controls for Hyakkimaru are 
just like any normal hack-n-slash game. You have your basic attacks: a light 
attack and a heavy attack. Press Square for a light attack and Triangle to use 
a heavy attack. Press X to jump and the R buttons to use your two guns. 
Hyakkimaru's large fighting set are all easily accessed by using pretty much 
every button. The L buttons are used for controlling the camera or switching 
weapons. 

Dororo is another character to play as. You still have to press X to jump, but 
you can only punch; do that by pressing Square or Triangle. No, she isn't 
equipped with any guns; she can throw random objects though! Press either R1 
or R2 to do so. When you're not playing as Dororo, you can command her to 
perform certain abilities or accept certain orders. In fact, there are a total 
of four orders you can advise Dororo to do. Instead of using common sense and 
having the player use the D-Pad or the four buttons, they think differently. 
To do so, hold down Circle, THEN use the D-Pad to select a command. Honestly, 
I never use the command system because I ignore Dororo, but it could have been 
more useful if they just used either the D-Pad or buttons.

Another small complaint that although doesn't have to do with the controls, I 
chose to stuck it here anyways. It's that the game seems so slow. Hyakkimaru 
moves so sluggish, it's ridiculous. It's not like normal hack-n-slash like 
Devil May Cry, where you're flipping and jumping all over the place in fast-
paced action. Hyakkimaru takes a long time to jump and walk that it's just 
annoying. This minor rant has nothing to do with the controls; the controls in 
Blood Will Tell are simple and easy to use. Now there's nothing wrong with 
that, eh?


Sound
I must admit that while the sound in the game is fine and dandy, it doesn't 
stand out much at all. The sound effects in the game are fine. All the enemies 
and Fiends all sound powerful and menacing. The enemy sounds range from 
lumbering roars to ear-piercing shrieks. All of Hyakkimaru's weapons all give 
great sound, whether or not you're slicing up an enemy or mowing him down with 
an arm gun. 

The voice acting is pretty darn good, I must say. The antagonists sound like 
they should be evil, but you don't really get to hear many of the Fiends talk. 
Too bad. Hyakkimaru sounds like a true sagacious warrior. The beginning of the 
game is very neat concerning his voice. At first, Hyakkimaru has a fake voice 
box, so he sounds like a robot. When he gets his voice box from the first 
Fiend, his voice goes from being an android to a normal person. Dororo has a 
very annoying voice, but hey, it fits the character. *shrugs*

The music, for the most part, is pretty dull. Most of the music definitely has 
a Japanese-type style to it. Lots of wind instruments and drums going on in 
the background. Some of the more "intense" music is more appealing and 
catching to the ears. The boss music is suspenseful and action-packed, yet 
still very mellow. Most of the time I don't even realize that music is 
playing; whether it's just low or dull. Basically, the sound and voice acting 
are very good, but the music just doesn't cut it. I do like the boss music 
though, and considering how there are a plethora of bosses to fight, I can't 
complain that much.


Gameplay
With games like Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden, it's hard for other games to 
stand up to their immense power. Blood Will Tell does a good job doing just 
that. At first, the game seems like any other hack-n-slash game that you've 
played over and over again. There are special ideas incorporated into the game 
that makes the gameplay fun and innovative. To start off, you can level up 
your weapons. Aside from Hyakkimaru's arm blades implanted in his body, he can 
also use normal swords and katanas. A simple click of the button will switch 
between the two. Hyakkimaru can also use an arm gun for long-range attacks and 
a powerful leg cannon used to destroy objects or deal major damage. You can 
actually level up the swords and arm blades; increasing their power and 
usefulness. 

Using your weapons can be interesting, yet they get boring after a while. You 
will find yourself using the same four combos over and over again while 
defeating enemies or Fiends. The range of available weapons are good, but an 
idea such as being able to buy movesets or combos would have been a lot more 
enjoyable. Sure, this tends to happen with hack-n-slashes, but the fighting 
style is a bit dull, especially near the end of the game where you're pretty 
much sick of it. 

The game consists of a prologue, seven chapters, and then a final chapter (the 
final boss). The chapters range in length, but overall Blood Will Tell is a 
very long game. Simply completing it straight through should take maybe 30 or 
so hours. Near the beginning of the game, you come across a novice thief, 
Dororo. First off, Dororo is a girl, despite contrary belief. In all honesty, 
Dororo is a pain in the rear end and is more annoying than useful. You have to 
play as her at some point in each of the chapters. Dororo is harder to control 
than Hyakkimaru and is a lot more annoying. She can only punch and throw 
objects, so defeating enemies is harder than with the samurai. Dororo is one 
of the only downfalls to the game's gameplay. 

The only other real con of the gameplay (it isn't a big one) is the camera. 
While the camera isn't atrocious, it can be frustrating at times. The common 
occurance is where the camera will turn around at a random time, forcing you 
to walk the opposite way. This can be annoying when stuck in a tough area or 
cornered by enemies. Luckily, there is an option (only) in boss battles in 
which you can kinda turn the camera off. Press R3 to have the camera stop 
being situated on Hyakkimaru. I usually turn it off to the camera won't flip 
out when I'm trying to fight a boss. Like I said, it's isn't a big problem at 
all, but it's annoying at times.

The main purpose of Blood Will Tell is for Hyakkimaru to regain his 48 stolen 
body parts from the evil Fiends, right? Well of course the body parts are 
going to be incorporated into the game. The bosses in this game are not only 
extremely fun and creative at times, but there are so damn many! You fight 48 
of the Fiends in the game, yet add on over 10 other bosses; there are nearly, 
if not more than 60 boss fights in the whole game. I am a complete SUCKER for 
bosses, so this game pleased me in no other way a game could. After defeating 
a Fiend, you will most likely gain a body part (if you killed it, that is). 
Sometimes you'll have to fight one Fiend several times in order to regain the 
body part. The body parts that Hyakkimaru regains not only adds to the 
completion of the game, but they boost his overall stats. Acquiring something 
like your leg will raise your agility. Obtaining your ribs will raise your 
defense. This is pretty much the equivalent of levelling up, and these raised 
stats prompt the game to become more difficult over time. 

On top of that, some of Hyakkimaru's body parts come with special traits or 
abilities. For example, once you regain your left leg, you are given the 
ability to dash. That lets you run at a fast speed; it's very useful. Once you 
regain both of your arms, you can actually hold more than one weapon. You can 
choose from holding two katanas or holding one and using one arm blade. This 
feature actually makes getting new body parts fun. 

Blood Will Tell is also a pretty hard game. While at some points the game is 
painfully simple at times, the game's difficulty will increase exponentially 
at random times. Some Fiends are harder at times where the one after it is a 
lot easier. For example, one boss in Chapter 2 is really damn hard. In fact, 
it's one of the hardest in the game. Minutes after defeating it, you encounter 
a Fiend. Surprisingly, the Fiend was pathetically easy. Average gamers may 
have trouble with it at small portions through the game, but overall Blood 
Will Tell is a solid challenge. 

In conclusion, Blood Will Tell's gameplay is very good. The camera is annoying 
at times, but easy to get past. The only real problem with the gameplay is 
well, Dororo. I mean, Dororo is pretty much a thorn in the game's side. The 
weapons and combos are too limited as well, so constant fighting can get 
boring after a while. Aside from those minor flaws, Blood Will Tell has great 
action and awesome boss battles. The ability to level up your weapons, and the 
body parts are really fun. They basically separate Blood Will Tell from other 
hack-n-slashers. Each new body part breathes fresh air into the game, except 
the very few which are totally useless. 


Replay
After completing the main story, which will take around 30 hours, there is 
still more to do. In fact, I was damn impressed by the sheer amount of things 
that you could do after the main quest was over. The biggest feature are the 
optional bosses. I suggest that you should complete the optional Fiends after 
you complete the game, but you can go through previous chapters after they 
have been completed. You can revisit the seven chapters and find more Fiends. 
Most of the time Fiends are located in areas where you could not go 
previously, but other times they are hidden in discrete locations. Out of the 
48 Fiends, I'd say there around 20 of them are optional. Defeating all of the 
optional Fiends and regaining all body parts adds another several hours onto 
your time. 

Aside from the optional Fiends, there are also minor activities. You can 
unlock an art gallery. To obtain the art, you must participate in a mini-game 
featuring Dororo. In the game, you must play as Dororo and collect coins in a 
certain time limit while avoiding obstacles and enemies. Honestly, I think the 
game stinks and the rewards aren't special, but it's something. At least they 
put the time to add it, and that's really what matters. Also after defeating 
an enemy and Fiend, you can view additional information on them. It's nothing 
more than reading material when you're bored, but again, it's nice that it was 
added. So really, I think enough was added to make the game more enjoyable 
when it comes to replaying it.


Overall (not an average): 8/10

Pros
+ Incredible story; one of the best I've seen
+ Controls are very well-put together and easy to use
+ Over 60 bosses
+ Gameplay is overall good
+ Lots of things to do after you're done with the adventure

Cons
- While the sound is good, the music is dull
- The graphics are not up to par with the current system's capabilities
- Minor flaws in gameplay (annoying camera, dull fighting style)
- Dororo. Plain and simple: Dororo is in the game

I feel that Blood Will Tell does an awesome job in other departments. The 
story, like I've said numerous times, is downright fantastic. It actually 
keeps you interested, which is uncommon in games that aren't RPGs. The 
gameplay overall is very well done, but I feel that the bosses and body parts 
are the best the game has to offer. The immense amount of bosses in Blood Will 
Tell keeps you entertained and the new body parts make the game more fun 
through it all. As a hack-n-slash, I can't help but compare it to games like 
Ninja Gaiden. While it is a fantastic game, the lack of "speed" simply makes 
the game less exciting than said games. I believe that Blood Will Tell is a 
really great game, but it seems a lot slower than other hack-n-slashes, 
therefore it simply isn't as enjoyable if you're into fast-paced action.
