*******************************************************************************
IV. HERMITAGE OF THE TAMAYORIBITO
*******************************************************************************
1. You can collect more of Essence of Amahagane in the Mount Kurama.
Once you are on the world map, go back to the Mount Kurama, at the first
screen when you fight 4 enemies. They are not that generous to drop it
though. It is more easily to get it drop on the Japanese version :)~
(Try to do it early when your level is low and keep playing Yoshitsune)
And when you need more health just head to the Hermitage and you will
enjoy the full health and full Kamui treatment there, S5.1.
2. Raising your Defense Level early in the game will give you solid protection
and more challenging game for Kamui performance. And using Kamui means you
will get level up bonus exp.
3. When you defense you still loose a little bit of your health.
The same goes to the enemies.
4. When you are not facing the enemy properly during a Kamui session,
there is a possibility that your Kamui will not working even when you
pressed the Square button at the right moment.
Sometimes it will be interrupted by the enemies around you causing
the attack from other enemy does not delivered the right way to you.
For that reason, the [] timing will only show up in grey colour as when
you failed to press it at the right moment.
Moreover, you are free to running around while performing Kamui whether you
will press the [] or not. This means you are able to find your best
advantage/clean position before hitting the [] button.
5. Sometimes, you can get more level up bonus experience when you kill enemies
using the Kamui + regular combos compare to using perfect Triple Kamui.
6. Double or Triple Kamui is useful to slow down the Square button timing.
Double Kamui means during a Kamui (which the enemy will attack you),
you press [] for another Kamui (right) before the attack hit you.
This will give you even SLOWER reaction from the enemy and you will enjoy
full advantage of easy timing.
What about another Kamui after the second one? This is called Triple Kamui
If you are so d*** slow then this is the right treatment for you to waste
a Triple Kamui on a single attack from the enemy.
A better way to waste it would be on the next/second attack during a Kamui
Note that a Kamui (session) will not finish until the enemy has completely
finished his attack/chain attack.
On the other hand, if you failed on the first chance to press the [] button
, the chain attack from the enemy will stop.
For Example when fighting against Kagekiyo Taira in Chapter 1 who will
attack you three times during a single Kamui session.
7. Different weapons can perform different (finisher) skills.
Compare between Benkei�s Grand Hexagonal Club and Iron Fauchard
(Club vs Spear).
When using Iron Fauchard perform Hold R1+Triangle then finish it with
Triangle + Directional L3. Nice.
8. Kamui (level up bonus) Rating Exp will depends on the accurate timing and
the situation (how difficult and the style you perform) when you defeat
the enemies.
For example you can get 127 Kamui Rating for defeating only 3 enemies at
the very early playing in chapter 1.
9. How to Counterattack
You need to wait until the enemy�s attack is almost hit you then press [].
Tip on doing Counterattack:
stand very close (facing) to the enemy, follow him, wait for him to attack,
when almost hit you press [] button. This will give you a better view and
enough time to react.
Or else when you see the attack coming, quickly move very close to him and
press [] when it almost hit you.
Performing Counterattack might give you health replenish.
10. You can use a regular jump onto the enemy�s head to get 1(one) hit.
Allright, this has becoming a bigger issue as it is going to play a more
important role to a fun strategy when beating up big guy like Hoe Goblin
and make him feels like a baby doll.
--->Ranma Chiu <[email protected]> has found an easier and fun way
to defeat Hoe Goblin and other big Guys, including Nue.
Jump + Triangle to perform special kick onto the Hoe Goblin and right after
that, quickly press X to add another hit as well as to extend the combo,
repeat with Triangle and X and Triangle and X continuously.
--->In addition to, you are able to jump from one enemy to another with
this move. Press X and directional L3 when hitting the enemy to find your
next target.
11.When you switched player remember that the equipped item/accessory on
Yoshitsune does not available to Benkei. You need to unequipped it first.
12.Retreat means you are able to go back to the World Map instantly or to the
beginning of the underground/dungeon depends on where you are at that moment
(up one level to go out).
13.During a Kamui session, it is possible for you to run away from the first []
attack and you are still in charge for the next [] buttons as long as you
are not hit by the enemy.
For example: During a fight with Kagekiyo in Chapter Two.
He will perform a 3 hits Kamui combo.
14,Actually, there is a slightly different of times when you use different type
of weapons. When you use a higher attack status, you will finish the enemy
faster. When using a Kamui, the difference is not significantly overseen
because the damage taken is so big that is why sometimes/usually the number
of the hits taken by the defeated enemy is the same when using different
(LOWER) attack status.
Let me guess, the Kamui combo will be less one hit if the attack status is
lower by 30 points, of course you need to make the hit on the same enemy
to be fair.
For example: During a fight with Kagekiyo in Chapter Two.
15.Mastering a Kamui is so much fun, Each character will perform unique styles
of Kamui Skills and will differ it based on the type or size of the weapon
used. One thing to remember is, you do not have to stand still during a
Kamui, instead be a proactive and taste a bit of dodging skill.
During a Kamui session, when the enemy is coming after you, avoid it
by running to a safe point(save from the enemy's reach) while keep paying
attention to the [] button timing. But not too far from the enemy.
Once you are at the saver point and the enemy's attack is avoided,
you still have a good chance to press the [] button successfully.
This also works when performing a Kamui Combo hits as long as you are not
(jumping) in the air.
For example: During a fight with Kagekiyo in Chapter Two.
In other words; you can play seek and hide with the enemy during a Kamui
session.
16.List of the Special Order will be 100% completed in Chapter Three.
Except for the Secret Special Order :).
The secret Weapon; The Gale and The Boulder Piercer will be available
on the Continue Mode chapter 3 once you have completed the Weapons List.
17.The highest quantity of every item on the Menu Screen is always 15pcs.
18.If you try to sell the Special Order's items or Special Items from the Trial
the Stubborn Blacksmith will say "I am not interesting in buying".
19.Honestly, I think this game talk more about Kamui, Kamui and Kamui.
that means, we need only to upgrade the defense department because we
already in possessions of a god like powerful skill -Kamui-.
Why do we need to increase our strength when there is no longer
equal contender. In addition to, the more powerful your weapon is,
the faster you defeat the enemies/bosses.
I miss the ability to combine accessories (to produce more beneficial
skills as you choose your own path).
I hope to do more useful things/skills/upgrade skills with lots of
(two dozens) accessories. On this game you need to equip only one of them
and actually you DO NOT need to equip it at all to finish (the game)
the entire strongest opponent.
Well, as I said, It is all about Kamui, Kamui and Kamui.
On the good side, this is also a great point about Genji,
as you are pushed to let out/perform your greatest skill to overthrown the
evil empire by utilizing every skill you have learned so far
throughout the game. Not to mention the greatest visual pleasure :)�
-I really miss the Legend of Dragoon though-
20.Your Sword Skill Ranking will determine how much you earn experience.
The higher your Sword Skill means you will get higher experience.
However, as you progress through the game, you will usually equip powerful
and the more powerful weapon and accessories to defeat the bad guys.
This also means your Sword Skill Ranking will be decreasing as you progress
in addition to the level up which will give you more attack point thus you
will finish them more quickly. The only way to increase the Sword Skill
Ranking is to unequipped the strong weapon and change it into a lower attack
power weapon to get more combo hits. Do you want to use it or not is up to
you since it will give you more experience and combo hits but will take more
time. I think it is not a bad idea since this game has a Continue Mode and
that will also persuade you to lift up your combo skills for the bosses.
For example: When defeating Kiyomori at the end of Chapter 3 :)~
*159 combo hits and Invincible Sword Skill Ranking
when equipped with Charm of Tyranny and Lightning Sword*
*343 combo hits and Invincible Sword Skill Ranking
when equipped with Charm of Tyranny and Unsigned Sword*
(of course you can achieve more than that)
21.Have you noticed that the slide show on the title screen will keep
changing throughout the progress of the game.
For example if your have reached to chapter 2, the Trial of Light at
Konjikido, then a picture representing Konjikido will be available on
the menu screen. Once you have progress to chapter 3 then a picture of
Devil City Kyoto will be available.
[22].Yoshitsune's combo is differ into 2(two) styles;
---> 1st one is an Offensive Combo - 6 hits.
Press [] 6 times while holding down! L3 to the enemy direction.
The last move is a powerful single thrust to the heart of the enemy.
For example when you are completing (True)100 Kills Challenge (Lizard Man)
and when fighting Kiyomori at the Final Chapter.
---> 2nd one is a Defensive combo - 5 hits.
Press [] 5 times without! holding down L3 to any direction.
The last move is a double sword 360 degree cyclone to hit the enemies
surrounding you. Well, at least that is what it supposed to be.
For example when fighting with a bunch of regular enemies.
23.At the Stubborn Blacksmith, once you have progressed through the game,
some of the earlier weapon are not available anymore.
If you want to collect everything, please buy it at the earliest possible.
24.You will get more experience if, during a Kamui session, you defeat the
enemy one after another and not blast them off in one shot.
To do this, often, avoid being at the center point of the crowd, instead,
approach to one of them and let them come to you one by one to raise the
Sword Skill Ranking more quickly. Moreover, it is more enjoyable to finish
them off one by one and more fun to perform different styles too.
25.By equipping the Unsigned Sword (the weakest weapon), you will get more
Kamui Combo Counting. That means more challenge and fun/exciting in
defeating the strong enemies/bosses.
26.Clear The Way, S3, is a good way to clear your way through during a Kamui
session. Once you activated a Kamui, pay no attention to the samurai
soldier, instead, continue to the next area and your Kamui will stay with
you, eliminating the need to fight the unnecessary fights.
It will be over in quite a satisfied moment or when you move on to the
next screen loading.
27.Actually, the Kamui Styles is (sometimes) predictable.
You can use a certain directional to perform the style you wish to.
Let's say every time you are facing the enemy to the right, press [] +
directional button Right. And if you are facing the enemy to the left,
press [] + directional button Left. Try it by yourself :).
28.Once you have finished the Continue Mode and have already maxed the
Experience Level up to Level 50, the game will preserve all experience
you received on the background (grey color).
When you choose to play a New Continue Mode after finishing the Continue
Mode, you will start with everything you have collected including the
Experience Level (plus the experience you have collected in grey color,
but your level will not increase).
29.Equip The Gale and Boulder Piercer, you are able to reveal the Counterattack
moment for regular enemies including during the fight with bosses.
30.Difficult Mode:
No Health Items, no new weapons, no new accessory, No money, No New Armors,
except for some Essences and Additional Essences!, S5.
Wait, you can get new weapons/armors and items/accessories from the
True 100 Kills Challenge.
Other than that, you will get less replenish on the Kamui bar when you
defeat an enemy.
31.Easy way to defeat the priestess without using a Kamui;
Make a round circle in front of them, they will usually jump toward you and
that is your way to get free counterattacks and recharge your Kamui bar
quickly. And you might get the health replenish too from doing so.
or just run away from the priestess and they will after you
(run toward the -invincible- wall you and keep running. The priestess will
follow the procedure; jump up and give you a piece of cake on the
counterattack moment)
32.The True 100Kills on the Difficult Mode (without being hit!) will reward you
with weapons from Special Order, Health items, Armors, etc.
33.Did you notice that when you make a Save on daylight and then load the
Save Data, (usually/sometimes?) you will continue playing in the evening?
34.On Difficult Mode, when the regular enemies give you vibrate for the sign
of Essence, try to use Kamui on him/them. This way (usually) you will get
Essence x2 instead of Essence x1!!!.
35.On Difficult Mode, you are able to get more and more Additional Essence by
keep coming back to the place stated. Usually you need to go through the
next screen loading just to reset it and there will be another chance
to get it. Usually, it is a random case. Then you need to go back
a few times to increase the possibility on the Additional Essence.
I have to assume that there are many random places offer Additional Essence
and perhaps I miss some of the places because of its random style.
36.IMO, the camera, sometimes, is not helping out since it tends to block the
viewing point causing the [] sign not perfectly sighted or even the enemy
itself. It can be hard to execute the [] when the enemy suddenly pop up
into your eyes (jump -very- quickly) from the outer screen (Lizard Man).
It is not even rotating, if that is what in your mind, yeah.
37.I hate it and I hate it when I am so widely-vulnerable-open for the enemy
to hit me during me attacking the enemy.
38.Just play a new -Normal- game and I got Essence x2 during a Kamui on
samurai soldiers at Gojo before the bridge. It proves that there are many
random places you can visit to get more Additional Essence.
FYI, I tried the Jump + Triangle + X technique described by RanmaChiu
at that moment.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshitsune
You play as Yoshitsune Minamoto, son of Yoshitomo Minamoto, head of Genji clan
who was defeated by Kiyomori Taira, the head of the Heishi clan.
His goal is to bring down Kiyomori and the Heishi Clan as for his revenge and
to bring back a peaceful life to the people of Kyoto.
^Yoshitsune Amahagane^ will be placed on your Key Item Menu automatically.
Defeat the first group of enemies and Otohiko will come to rescue you.
You already have the Kamui bar on the upper-left screen.
However, it is empty and you cannot use it now.
Not until Otohiko comes to rescue you.
Cut scene: Otohiko comes to help you.
From now on you can use Kamui by pressing L1 and wait for the enemy's attack,
wait until the Square button timing show up and press it before it is gone.
Every time you use Kamui you need to refill it again, usually it will
gradually replenish itself during a battle.
In addition to, it will give you a bonus level up experience based on
your Kamui Combo Rating and Sword Skill Ranking.
"I found them" said the enemy (but nothing comes up).
From your standing point, move to the right, fight more enemies and
at the same area pick up =Potion of Power x1= from the jar.
Up to the hill where you fought the first time.
Now you can press Circle button at the mansion for some info.
Remember the place where you jump with Otohiko?
Approach the place and press X to land on the ground or jump and press Triangle
Down the hill fight some enemies and there is =Kurama Herb x1= in the jar.
Continue down the hill and beat some enemies.
You will meet Otohiko the second time and (s)he jumps down the cliff.
In front of you there is a wooden log blocking your way.
You need to wait for Benkei to join your party in order to break it (B01).
Just follow Otohiko and get =Potion of Power x1= on the way down.
On the ground, there is a Save/Retreat Point.
But for now you can only use the Save option.
Retreat means you are able to go back to the World Map instantly or
to the beginning of the underground/dungeon depends on where you are
at that moment (up one level to go out).
There is another wooden log blocking near the Save point (B02).
To the left of it you will see another wooden log blocking the way (B03).
Move on and you will see a jar contains health replenish up on the waterfall
At the top of the waterfall you will find one item box contains #Iron Sword#
(weapon for Yoshitsune). There is also a heavy wooden door you need to wait
for Benkei to join you (B04).
For now, jump all the way down and move forward for boss fight.

Tips : Nothing much. Just use Kamui to finish them off.
Note : This is a good place to practice your Kamui Combo Skill early
in the game since the boss will keep calling for back up for
a few times and you can try to put your focus on the [] timing.
Kamui Flash: When he is ready to slash you and swing the samurai half way
to hit you, press [].

Yoshitsune
You will meet Kiichi Hogen and he will explain more details about Kamui and the
same goal he would like to establish together with you.
His daughter, Princess Minazuru, is a person you want to talk to for some
in-game info.
If you would like to save your progress you can speak to Hogen at anytime.
In front of the hut, to the left, pick up *Essence x1* from inside the box.
Proceed to the next room on the right and to the back yard.
You will experience some vibration each time there is an Essence of Amahagane
nearby. This time just press circle at the well to get some info and
*Essence x1*.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: There will be no Essence x1 at the well!.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is time to go down to Main Road. On the way you will hear a mysterious sound
from the statue on the side street and you will be transferred into a
Kamui training session.
Here, you can practice to perfect the Kamui timing.
Just before you go to the Main Road or after that, please revisit Mount Kurama.
If you choose to go to Main Road and talk to Friendly Villager,he will tell you
about a mysterious light at night when the fireflies gather.
============================================

=Add. Essence : Essence x?, +S5.1+ (Japanese version?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshitsune
Since you are now noticed about the existence of the Essence of Amahagane,
it's true power and it's purpose to the Genji Clan, that means you need to
look for it around the maps.
That�s why we are here, back at Mount Kurama.
Once you get there pick up ^Broken Sword^ from small the item box
(need to combine with other Key Item to create a Special Order).
Still on the first screen, go to the top-left corner where there is a
small dry land and you will get some vibration. Hit once to get *Essence x1*.
Up to the top of the waterfall, when there is a vibration at the center area,
hit once to get *Essence x1*
There is (vibration) *Essence x1* next to the save Point.
Jump on it and you will get it, you do not need to hit actually.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Clear The Way- :)
~S3~
One interesting thing is to use your Kamui on those Samurai Soldiers from
the screen before you located the jar.
Climb up the cliff next to the save point, to the left screen,
fight 4 samurai, to the next screen.
Leave the samurai on this scren and continue to move forward, use Kamui.
Move forward to the hill top and the Kamui session is always be with you,
deleting the chance to get spotted by another group of samurai soldiers
on the next screen.
(if you just stand still the Kamui session will be over)
On your way to the hill top (Kurama hideout) and you will not be bothered by
any of the samurai soldiers on your way.
(If you do this in Chapter 1, you can pick up the Bracelet of Man without
getting hassled)
Find your way back and down the hill, your Kamui session will be finished
once you reach the next screen loading.
-Actually, you can try to do this in other places too-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another (vibration) *Essence x1* at the front of the Kurama hideout (hill top)
Note: If you want to get some additional Essence, just re-enter Mount Kurama
and beat the enemies on the first screen area.
Keep coming back and eventually you will get more Essence from them.
If you need to replenish your Kamui bar and health, go back to the Hermitage.
+S5.1+
As to my knowledge, this is the only place that the enemy can actually drop
additional Essence. However, it seems that the success rate is much
more reliable on the Japanese version.

There is an old worn-out cart. Jump onto it and jump again to the house
next to it. Inside you will get #Thin Metal# (Yoshitsune's Armor).
Get out and start exploring the bodies lying on the street to get items;
=Kurama Herb x1=, =Potion of Power x1=, =50Gold=.
Continue to the East side (do not proceed to the bridge right now),
down to the river side, you will find *Essence x1* at the lower-right corner,
=Kurama Herb x1= from the jar and =Tengu Herb x1= from the box.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:
If you have time, you can collect more of the Essence by defeating those

health, visit the Hermitage to get full health replenishes.
However, this trick, I assume, works better on the Japanese version.

by the river side and she will tell you about 2 (two) missing children

ADDITIONAL ESSENCE:
Myogyoji Temple
* +S5.2+
Defeat the second group of enemies before the big red door to collect
ADDITIONAL Essence(s). The first time I received one Essence, the second time
I got Essence x2. :) That is because I use Kamui on the second time!.
Well, you guess it, the harvest time is here already!!!
Just keep coming back through the other side of the big red door or use
the Retreat option and start collecting the Essences 'till you are
satisfied (S5)!!!.
* +S5.3+
Wait, the second place is at the ground before the stairs to the big red door
I got 2(two) Essence of Amahagane there :)~
There is also two group of enemies here.
* +S5.4+
Wait again! The third place is in front of the building with the Save/Retreat
option. You will get the vibrate from the priestess.
I did this when playing Benkei and after picked up the Amber Prayer Beads.
It is not an easy drop anyway.
After a while, they will not drop the Essence for some time.
I have collected 20(twenty) ADDITIONAL Essence so far!.
But I need to move on.
Hmm, I wonder that Additional Essence is spread all over Japan?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open the big red door and head to the next door in front of you.
There is a Save Point here and *Essence x1* at the center of the altar.
At the center of this room, there is a round carving says:

100 KILLS CHALLENGE
First Challenge:
At the center of this room, there is a round carving says:
"You have cleared many trials and tribulations to get to this place.
We have prepared for you a new challenge ..one that is greater than any
you've faced before.
You shall receive a glorious reward if you manage to overcome this
arduous test.
One word of caution however,
once you start the quest, you will not be able to quit,
and you will lose everything if you die.
Are you still willing to take on this challenge?
Yes (press X)
No
Conditions: Full Kamui bars is advisable to get clean Kamui Combo.
Tips : It is better for you finish them off one after another to get more
increase on the Kamui bar and also to buy more time thus will also
help you to increase the Kamui bar while in the middle of battle.
In addition to, you will get more experience by doing so.
When as playing Benkei, his hold/charge attack is very useful since
you will be considered not getting a hit (although the fact is
you are and the health bar is decreasing) and the Kills counting
on the screen will keep ticking to your advantage.
However, please do not abuse/overdo it, since you might get hit
in doing so because Benkei is considered as slow.
You might want to use it when you are replenishing the Kamui bar.
Good News : The Combo Counting on the upper-left corner will stay there FOREVER
It will not disappear, not even when your Kamui session is over.
Use this advantage to replenish your Kamui bar whenever you need it
Just avoid the fight when you are charging up your Kamui bar and
perform another Kamui when you are ready.
Whatever your performance is, the reward is already yours.
-100 Kills-
This is a battle against 100 continuously appearing enemies.
When you have defeated all 100 enemies, you will be able to return to
this normal world with treasure in hand.
Your enemies will be:
8 Samurai soldiers
2 spear soldiers
8 samurai soldiers
2 spear soldiers
4 samurai soldiers
1 Thick Armor 25 Kills
-Tips for Yoshitsune:
Kamui 4 times to defeat him
or doging his one way attack by holding down R1+X+Directional L3
then combo him for 6 hits Offensive Combo (see Hermitage section no.22),
repeat.
-Tips for Benkei (with Club):
*Kamui two times on him.
Prepare Hold Triangle attack.
Once he gets up the second time wait for two seconds,
release the hold attack.
He will surely down on the knees.
And you will not loose the Kills counting despite you are getting hit! :)
You can use this trick on the regular enemies too.
*Hold R1+X+Directional L3 and Hold R1+Triangle will also applicable.
Even if you do not charge the Triangle button, you are doing fine.
*Or else, after you broke his thick armor, use the charge attack
Hold R1+X+Directional L3, he will then always down when get hit by Benkei.
-Tips for Benkei (with Blade of Pointed Flame):
*Kamui once on him.
Once the thick shiled is destroyed, attack with R1+Triangle+Diretional L3 combo
with R1+Triangle+Directional L3. Nice :) That should do it.

Experience earned: up to 13000Exp and more per one challenge!
You have defeated all the enemies.
We bestow upon you a treasure as proof.
#Bracelet of Power#
Attribute: Decreases your strength, but increases your protection against
the four calamities (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Poison).
CONGRATULATION!
You have completed 100% of the Accessory inventory in the Weapons List.
And you can repeat the challenge for levelling up easily.
Wait, what about Benkei?
Benkei:
I take the 100 Kills Challenge with Benkei once the Amber Prayer Beads is
saved in the inventory.
You will fight 75 of the (same) enemies.
I got 76 Kills because when fighting with the no.25 I got 2(two) Kills Kamui
counting instead of 1(one) (I equipped Demonbane, I guess it was not powerful
enough to bring down the enemy no. 25 in one shot?).
So, here we go:
"You have defeated all the enemies.
We bestow upon you a treasure as proof"
You win the second Bracelet of Power :).
The next time I challenge the test with Benkei,
"You have defeated all the enemies.
You will now return to the Normal World"
No more surprises, I guess.
And you need to beat 100 bad guys instead of 75 in the first place.

Yoshitsune:
Result: 100 enemies without being hit once, 344 hits.
=Tathagata Pill=, #Charm of Force#, #Fox Fire#, #Thin Metal#,
=Kurama Herb x1=.
IMPORTANT:
Remember that this is only a one time chance.
The second time you try you will get NOTHING.
Other result examples:
Result: 50 enemies without being hit:
#Fox Fire#, #Thin Metal#, =Kurama Herb x1=
Result: 55 enemies without being hit:
#Crimson Sword#, #Thin Metal#, =Kurama Herb x1=
(How come I beat 100Kills and I got only Fox Fire???)
Is the outcome based on random style???
Benkei's turn:
Result: 100 enemies without being hit once, 164 hits.
=Talisman of Resurrection x1=, #Charm of Protection#, #Blade of Pointed Flame#,
#Grand Hexagonal Club#, #Blue Threat#.
True massacre is when Benkei equipped with the Blade of Pointed Flame.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go outside the room. Go up the stairs on the left area to get
=Potion of Power x1=.
Still at the same area, On the right side there is a closed door (B05)
and you need Benkei to open it for you.
Back track a little and up on another stairs on the North.
You will see one sturdy bronze lantern and an old belfry on the right side.
There is vibration around it; you need Benkei (B06) to sound the belfry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: There will be no Essence x1 from under the Belfry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your task for now, is to move on to the building opposite the belfry
(not the one you need to jump). Collect =300Gold= from the jar.
Your next move is to jump to the upper roof of the same building by the help
of the sturdy bronze lantern and the roof above the belfry.
While on the upper roof, move to the left a bit and you will see
an opening window at the building on the left side
(just opposite of the building you are on).
Before entering through the window, jump down to the lower roof on the
left corner, and hit once to get *Essence x1*.
Now, get inside the building through the opened window.
Get =100Gold= from the jar on the right and pick up #Fox Fire#
(Yoshitsune's weapon) from the box.
Get out from the room.
Go back to the belfry area and break the jar on the upper left ground to get
=Hi-Medicine of Power x1=.
On the left there is a sealed door (Nue's Place).
You need to get a Key Item from the Mansion of Yorenshu in order to break the
"Amber" seal.
The door in the middle is your way to the Mansion of Yorenshu.
Your next goal is to barge in to the Mansion of Yorenshu to steal the
"Amber" Key Item.
However, you may want to collect some items with the help of Benkei.
Please use the Retreat option at the building downstairs to go back to
the Hermitage.
Switch player to Benkei.
Go back to the building with the Save/Retreat Option, turn left,
take the stairs up.
Break the door on the right(B05) and collect =Potion of Warding x1= from
the jar in front.
Break another jar on the center-left to collect =100Gold=.
Open the blue chest and pick up #White Tiger# (Benkei�s Armor).
To the left of the blue chest hit once to reveal *Essence x1*.
From the way you go in, next to the upper-left corner,
there is one big rack you need to climb on.
This is a task for Yoshitsune (Y02).
Do not forget to sound the old belfry and the *Essence x1* will fly out.
Try to get on top the sturdy bronze lantern and it will not hold two seconds
for Benkei :).
-------------------
Mansion of Yorenshu
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benkei
Before climbing up that big rack, let Benkei moves on a bit further to collect
items.
Get inside the Mansion of Yorenshu through the middle door
(to the left side of the old belfry).
Intersection 1: Left, Up
-Left: Pick up #Giant Maul# (Benkei�s Weapon) from the box on the floor.
(Yoshitsune cannot open this chest)
Move forward, this is another good place to reach the Invincible ranking of
your Sword Skill.
Move on to the room at the end, hit once on the figure's mouth on the table
to get *Essence x1*.
Pick up #Amber Prayer Beads# from the small item box on the floor.
The other two doors are shut tight.
-Up: Trace back to the intersection 1 and this time move up to the front.
The jar next to the door at the end contains =Miracle Pill x1=.
Next to the jar, hit once to get *Essence x1*.
It is a dead end since all other doors are sealed by some mystical power.
Switch back to Yoshitsune.
(If you visit the Main road, you will meet with Shinta, Shinkichi's brother,
asking for your help to find Shinta at the Myogyoji Temple)
Now, it is time to climb up the big rack (Y02) inside the house
at the Myogyoji Temple (before the belfry area).
Once on the top the big rack, jump to the left and pick up =Tathagata Pill x1=
Up to the next goal, you need to unseal the door at the most left of the
belfry area. The Amber Prayer Beads will automatically unseal the door.

Steven Woo <[email protected]
Thu, 13 Oct 2005 21:35:39 -0700
For the boss "Moritoshi Hoe Goblin Taira (Shoki) -upgraded version-"
and how to get the Steel Gauntlet I found this way that works pretty good.
First, just keep a good distance away from him, Activate Kamui,
when his spears almost hit you, hit square to counter. Right after that,
he will quickly skip to your rear, when that happens, hit for Kamui again
so you have double Kamui and as soon as he lunges at you, hit square and
you will counter him and the he will drop the steel Gauntlet.
I've found this way to be easier.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I understand what Steven Woo meant is that Hoe Goblin will perform 2 attacks
in one Kamui session. That is why you need to press [] two times in a single
Kamui session.
Much like Kagekiyo that will perform 3 attacks during a Kamui session.
Tips : If you want to Counterattack him you may want to wait in a good
distance and when his rushing spear attack almost hit your body
quickly press [].
He is faster than before but nothing to worry if you keep moving.
When he performs the electric charge attack, be close to him and
follow his jump (or just keep away). This way you will not get
hurt and while in the air you can perform aerial attack followed
by combos.
Kamui Flash: 1)During a Kamui, he will charge up for a moment then release the
attack. Once you almost hit, that is your Kamui Flash no.1.
2)He will slip to your side, wait, he will perform another Kamui,
and this time is a quick attack.
Once the attack almost hit you, press [].
Weapon equipped : Fox Fire (advisable to set a fire on Shoki)
Accessory equipped: Charm of Protection (any accessory)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode: He is the same Shoki as in the Normal Mode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: Counterattack will do a good damage to him.
Focus in a good distance and when he rushes his spear to you,
press [] to counterattack.
Right after the rush attack, approach to him and combo him for
5 hits.
Repeat.
If you want to perform Kamui, it is better to do twice a Kamui
Right after the first Kamui, he will be on your side,
take a good distance and perform the second Kamui.
This will do a good damage much better than single Kamui alone.
Weapon equipped: Fox Fire (advisable to set a fire on Shoki)

Continue to the next screen, you will be facing archers and samurai.

Boss Chapter 1: Kagekiyo Taira
Difficulty : Easy - Medium Easy
Item : None
Key Items : None
Money : ? (N + C)
Tips : He is �easy� to defeat.
Yeah you can defeat him by 4 counterattacks w/o a single Kamui :)
Weapon equipped is the weakest one; Unsigned Sword.
Type of weapon does not seem to count very much,
well at lest a little bit only.
At this rate, whatever weapon you equipped,
you can perform a 4 hits Counterattack victory.
Every time Kagekiyo starts attacking with his big slash attack and
shouts -Yeahh?-, that is the flash for performing a Counterattack.
Always pay attention on the distance between you and him.
Even when the distance is a bit too far (I think), your attack
will mostly land on him (the sword number two will hit Kagekiyo).
Yes, you can do it with Benkei, but in my opinion it is easier to
perform with Yoshitsune (he is much faster in sword skill).
Or, you can combine your Kamui skill with Counterattack.
During a Kamui session, it will be a 3 hits Kamui Combo.
Once you finished the 3 hits Kamui Combo,
Kagekiyo will be standing still, stunned, doing nothing.
If you miss the second Kamui Flash, you are still be able to
perform Counterattack on the third hit from Kagekiyo.
Kamui Flash: 1)Kagekiyo is standing, swings his sword in a full circle,
a moment later he jumps/rush toward you, land in front of you,
starts attacking your lower body. Half the way to hit you,
that is your Kamui Flash to press [] button.
2)Kagekiyo will sneak behind you, in a quick second he will
charge his arm for a quick moment before stabbing you
from behind.
Once he released his arm to stab you, the Kamui Flash is there
Press [] before it reaches to you.
3)Again, after the second attack, he will charge his arm for a
second in a bit slow-motion.
Once he released his arm (finished with the slow-motion),
that is the quick call for your Kamui Flash.
Do not get too close to him!.
Easy Counterattack:
Place Kagekiyo at the center, run around him in a good distance,
everytime he performs the big slash attack, you are already at your position
to easily press [] button. Yeaahh!.
Weapon equipped: Unsigned Sword (any weapon)
Accessory equipped: Charm of Healing (any accessory)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode: He is the same Kagekiyo as in the Normal Mode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: Kagekiyo is tougher now. His defense level is a lot stronger.
You need to pay extra caution since your life bar is only that
little.
You will need four times a Kamui Session Combo and a few
slashes to defeat him
Result: 15/16 combo hits and Invincible Sword Skill ranking.

On the next screen, fight 4(four)Stone Soldiers.
Cut scene: The door upstairs is open.
There will be a Save/Retreat Point (to Hiraizumi Mansion)upstairs
next to the opened door.
If you use it to go back to Hiraizumi Mansion,
(at the garden) there will be a warp point back to Konjikido.
If you choose to go inside the door now, there will be cut scenes.
If now, you choose to go back to Hiraizumi Mansion, you can talk to people
for some info and to Lady Shizuka who is asking about your training.
Kichiji is not available at his usual place. Where is he?
Down the bridge, you will find Otohiko (Lady Shizuka?).
How can she be in two places at the same time?
Princess Minazuru is taking a walk to the other side of the town,
just outside of the shopping complex, still worrying about her father.
Move on to the shops area. Ah here you are Kichiji.
Have a nice talking to him anyway.
No new items from the shopping complex.
After, you need to confirm your decision at the Blue Seal to your right

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshitsune
The left Blue Seal is the Trial of Tenkukai for Yoshitsune.
In this trial of Tenkukai you need to jump from one platform to another,
fight monkeys, ride on floating platforms,
defeat Mid Boss and finally the Boss.
If you happen to fall down from the platform, you will land on a new ground
and you need to fight your way to get back to the upper land.
Down there you will fight a group of Monkeys.
Be careful of their throwing weapon (freeze and drop to the ground)
The Counterattack timing is almost the same as the priestess at the
Myogyoji Temple.
Once finished, you will be transferred to the upper land by pressing Circle
at the Blue Seal confirmation.
On the fifth platform, hit once to get *Essence x1*.
Jump back to the fourth platform and continue to the moving platform.
At the end you will get #Black Steel# (Yoshitsune's Armor).
Wait, there is one more floating green land on the lower-right of the screen.
From where you stand, jump to the floating platform in front of you,
then jump down to the land on the lower-right to get =Hi-Potion of Power x1=
Jump onto the next moving platform to get back to the previous area.
Continue to the left and you will fight monkeys to be able to go through
the gate. Next, at the center area there is a Stone Monument saying
-Edir Eht Gnitaolf Enots Htiw Iekneb- In other words
-Benkei with stone floating the ride- (B10)
(We will switch to Benkei after finishing this trial)
Move on to the next are with platform and fight (you guess) a group of monkeys
Ride the platform up to a new ground, beat down some fireflies.
It is going to be a long fight unless you destroy its nest nearby.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The good news is, this area is one of the best places to get highest ~Lvl.1~:
Kamui Combo Rating,
Sword Skill Ranking,
and to gain Level Up easily.
How?
Easy, just concentrate on the fireflies.
Let them come to you and use your Kamui on them.
One successful Kamui equals to 10 hits and 10 kills, Moon rating and
Invincible ranking at one easy time. Repeat as many times as you wish :).
Once finished, you CAN CONTINUE THE COMBO COUNTING by quickly going to the
next area on the right (just opposite of the nest you destroyed just now)
and perform another continuous Kamui session to the fireflies there.
And you guest what? There are 2(two) nests in here :).
Once finished with the 3(three) nests,
you need to get out of the trial and get inside again to repeat the combo.
Come back here after finishing the Final Trial and it becomes even easier
because you will be having 4 Kamui bars to waste on them.
(69 combo hits and keep counting :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the right area (just opposite to the first nest),
You will find another place for raising up your combo counting and level up
easily, ~Lvl.2~.
Destroy the two nests and break those jars to get =Potion of Warding x1=.
Up ahead pick up #Bead of Red Flames# from the item box and beat some monkeys.
At the center of the wall, hit once to get *Essence x1*.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get out the area and move on to the next floating platform.
You will fight a group of monkeys and one Big Monkey before you reach to the
Save/Retreat Point and the door to the Mid Boss.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: +S5.9+
The monkey group will carry Essence (random).
Use a Kamui on him/them and you will get Essence x2.
Yes, you can keep coming back to this place using the floating
platform just now. The only thing is you need to beat the
fireflies and destroy the nest again to be able to re-use the
floating platform.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open the big door in front of you and get inside.

Key Items : None
Money : ? (N + C)
Tips : Perform 3x Counterattacks. That's it.
His move is so predictable that when you get close to him,
he will swing the (slow) swords. Use it to Counterattack :)
Be careful of his combo attack.
Or perform Kamui on him.
When he performs ice attack, he is vulnerable. Combo him.
Still, be careful of his ice attack.
Kamui Flash: 1)The fist move is a camouflage, the second time he appears and
swing the sword, which is your Kamui Flash.
It is a 1(one) hit Kamui Combo.
If you perform a Kamui on the water area, he might disappear
a few times before you can press the [] button.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode: He/she is the same as in the Normal Mode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: He/she is not slow anymore.
It is better and easier to defeat him during a Kamui session.
Combo him when he/she performs the ice attck.
If you insist on performing continuous combo,
be near to him, slash for 1/2 hits, always prepare to block
with R1, slash for 1/2 hits, block his attack, follow him,
block his ice attack, destroy the ice, follos him, combo.
Repeat.
Of course, you can dodge whenever you want.
If he is too far away, use a Kamui on him.
This way, you will be able to continue the combo counting
and get to the Invincible ranking.
If you perform a Kamui on the water area, he is able to
disappear for a few times before he shows the real figure
for you to press the [] button.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not leave the area yet, there is *Essence x1* on the right side nearby to
the entering door.
In the Trial Tenkukai, enemies are re-spawning.
You can trace back to some areas and enjoy a reunion with some monkeys
if you would like to.
Ride the floating platform up and join another fight with a group of monkeys.
In front, there is *Essence x1* on the second grey floating platform.
Do not stand too long on it, it will drop.
Across the grey floating platforms you can use the Save/Retreat option.
If you happen to fall down from the Grey platform to the lower ground
you will have to fight those fireflies.
As usual, destroy the nest. Confirm on the Blue Seal to start again from
the beginning of that particular area.
Now pay attention to the moving platform on the left and right side of the
grey platform.
Ride the moving platform to the right to get #Water Serpent Sword#
and to the left to get =1000Gold=.
Back on track, at the end choose to confirm on the Blue Seal.

during the dive attack.
The quick battle takes only about a minute :)
Just practice a few times to get the timing right.
Usually, your Kamui does not even starting to work when he is
not in the -proper- position.

Otohiko is still guarding the river side area down the bridge.
You will also meet the patrol man and now he remembers where he saw the

at the Stubborn Blacksmith.

There are Add. Essence from the monkeys guarding the floating
platform.
Yes, you can keep coming back between +S5.8+ and +S5.9+ and
they are just in the neighbourhood area.
You might want to beat down the small monkeys first instead of
the big one because the big one will call for more backups and
one of the backups might carry the Essence you are looking for.
This way, you will also save some travel time, or not.
It might become a little difficult to handle the situation with
the big monkey still playing in the field and getting stronger
and stronger.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait, it is not floating, it is falling down because the weight of Benkei?

a -Master- Sword Skill Ranking.
Perform Kamui session one after another.
Do not get too far from him, otherwise your Kamui will be wasted as
the [] sign will not show up on the screen.
Whatever your equipment does not really matter, really.
It is a very quick (quickest so far) battle with 3 hits Kamui Combo.
If you want to get 4 hits combo: Use Kamui then hit [] for Kamui +
[] for Counterattack (always work) + [] for Kamui + [] for Kamui.
The battle takes only about half a minute :)
Just practice a few times to get the timing right.
He has the ability to replenish his health bar until
you kick his ass to drop his health down to the green health bar.
He is fast even after your first success Kamui, he will swing his sword
to cancel your second time Kamui. Remember to deliver the second Kamui
(a.s.a.p.)right after the first to avoid his quick attack then
followed by the third Kamui to complete the combo hits.
Of course you can always Counterattack his move and that way you will
enjoy a 4 hits combo
Note: When he jumps and bam! into the ground, you need to jump free yourself
or block the flames (as long as it is not a direct hit with the sword)
in order to avoid any damage.
Sometimes, his flames attack will cause you to burn in flame.
Another big attack is his double circle flame burst attack.
watch out for this! You can block this attack if you are standing
far enough or if you are not in a direct hit.
If not you will be the victim of his flame sword and get burnt.
Kamui Flash:1)He will crouch on the ground for a second, wait another two
seconds and he will attack your lower body.
The moment he shows a movement on his right arm to swing the
sword to the other side and then swing it again the second time,
but half way to hit you, that is your Kamui Flash.

It is strongly advisable to use the Iron Crusher (Club)
because it will be a lot more easier to bring him down!.

Trial of Chisinkai's Boss: Iwayashiro
Difficulty : Easy - Medium Easy
Item : None.
Key Items : ^Piece of Divine Stone^ x4, ^Iwayashiro's Amahagane^,
^Ornamental Club^.
Money : ? (N + C)
Conditions : Full Kamui Gauge (Not a compulsory).
Tips : Destroy 4 (four) flying rock pillars.
Concentrate on the two pillars in front of you.
Smash each of them with 4 hits [] attack then quickly position
yourself in between enabling your Triangle attack to finish both
of them at the same time.
The other two pillars will drop from the above.
Evade to a nearby place and you will be all right.
(you can hit them with Triangle attack right now)
Now, it is your time to attack them. Smash 4 hits with [] attack
to each of them. And finally the Triangle attack to each of them.
If you are a bit slow , you will be served with electric charges
and laser beams by Divine Stone from the above and a three-way-
circling-horizontal laser.
Or else the pillars will be circling around and hit you
with its electric charges.
After destroying the 4 pillars, the core will fly down and 4(four)
Divine Stones will be rotating around the core.
Stand very close to the core, quickly sending a 2 or 3 hits direct
[] attack to the core and instantly use Kamui.
During the Kamui, each of the Divine Stones will perform attack.
Every time you hit the [] button, your sword will hit the Divine
Stone (giving you each of the Pieces of Divine Stone) and hit
the core as well.
It is a 4 hits Kamui combo (reducing 2/3 of its health).
You may need to readjust your position on the 3rd/4th strike
or use Double Kamui to give you advantage on movement and timing.
There are still a little bit of health, use [] 4 hits combo and
continue hitting.
Once you succeeded then you will finish the job in ONE TURN only,
Result: 20 hits combo/more and Invincible Sword Skill ranking.
If you are a bit slow,
After sometimes, the core will fly back to the above.
If you perform unsuccessful Kamui, the 4 flying pillars will be
return in a faster process.
From there, everything will start all over from the beginning.
Note : Do not worry about the Pieces of Divine Stone x4.
Even if you do not have time to pick it up during the battle,
it will automatically be added to your Key Item Menu.
4 hits Kamui combo equals to about 2/3 health bar of the enemy.
Kamui Flash:1)This is a Kamui Flash for the Divine Stone.
The Divine Stone will make its route around you and finally
hit you from behind or your sides. Just wait for it to be close
to you and hit the [] button.
Normal Mode :
Weapon equipped : Moon shaped Cross Spear (any weapon)
Accessory equipped: Bead of Lighting - advisable
(to reduce paralyzed effect by the thunder)
Difficult Mode :
Weapon equipped : Serpent Pike (Advisable for the speed and range)
Accessory equipped: Charm of Healing (any accessory)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode: He is the same Yatagarasu as in the Normal Mode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: Well, it is surely tougher than usual and considering the
level status.
You can follow every rules written above, it is still
applicable to the strategy wise.
Anyway, I found out that it is better to equip a fauchard
(Serpent Pike) for the better range you can get and the speed.
Notice that after sometimes the pillars will crush on you from
the above. Just keep going on to avoid and use Triangle attack
two times. Once the pillars broke down at this moment,
it will give you more space on the inside to damage the core.
The other way around is to smash the pillar from the
inside/left/right causing the pillars to broke down to the
other side/outer side and give you more space in the inner
circle. Use Triangle attack (well, not 100% accurate).
When the electricity attack, just block.
When the pillars moving around with electricity, you can just
block or stand at the inner circle to the left/right of the
core, unnoticeable.
The other free standing (and block) spot is at the outer circle
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, hit twice to the core, perform Kamui.
Hack and slash to the core and I hope you can finish it in one turn
(Benkei needs to upgrade his attack level a LOT).
With current status, Benkei will finish his job in two turns.

Funny Thing 1:
(Normal, Continue and Difficult Mode)
At the intersection 1, there is one strange thing when fighting
those 2 Statue Soldiers. When performing a Kamui on them,
the other one goes down on its knee to the ground and
sacrifice himself giving the soul to its partner.
When I load the save data to prove it, nothing happens?.
Well, I experienced it again at the place of the Statue of God.
I guess it is a kind of harakiri to give their soul to the
chosen one to carry on their spirit and purpose to defeat the
enemy (Yoshitsune and Benkei).

First, he will show 2(two) different single Kamui styles and the

then his weapon will cling to each other for a short moment before
smashing the shadow.

Back to Konjikido.
Before you fight with Kagekiyo to end Chapter 2,
you might want to Save your progress.
Go back to the Save/Retreat Point at the Chisinkai Trial, intersection 3,
right path. (No re-spawn of enemies there)
Go back to Konjikido by using the Retreat option at the same place.
When you get outside of the Konjikido Temple, there will be a cut scene of
Kichiji and Kagekiyo.
Cut scene.
You can choose between Yoshitsune and Benkei.
Yoshitsune

Boss Chapter 2: Kagekiyo
Difficulty : Medium Easy
Item : None
Key Items : None
Money : =700Gold= (N + C?)
Conditions : Full Kamui Gauge (Not a compulsory).
Tips : Nothing much. Kagekiyo is fast, but with 4 Kamui gauges,
you really have something to get him kneel down on you.
From the beginning, take your position (lower screen) and use
a Kamui on Kagekiyo. He will then perform a 3 hits combo.
You may want to use a Double Kamui for his 3rd attack.
This is a 1(one) minute quick battle.
You need to use three times a Kamui in a row on him for the
total of 6 hits Kamui combo (when using the Sword of Light) and
8 hit Kamui Combo (when using the Unsigned Sword).
(Let me guess, the Kamui combo will be less one hit if the attack
status is lower by 30 points, of course you need to make a hit on
the same enemy to be fair).
All right, it is better not to destroy those sturdy lanterns
because sometimes Kagekiyo will jump on it to release his 3rd
attack which means his 3rd attack will be a jump combo
-much easier to counterattack/Kamui Combo-.
Note : You cannot destroy the sturdy lanterns since you do not have the
ability to charge attack. However, you can ask Kagekiyo to help
you destroying it. It is not necessary though.
His move is fast and the attacks are now more destructive.
He will also try to poison you.
Yes, you can block his poisonous tri-wave and the skulls.
It is not easy to get a multiple Counterattack now since Kagekiyo
does not do the -yelling attack- as often as he did in Chapter one
However, once he does that yelling move, there is a chance you are
able to perform a continuous Counterattacks.
If one of his attack during a Kamui session is block by the sturdy
lantern, then the [] sign will not appear on the screen, instead,
Kagekiyo will destroy the sturdy lantern.
Kamui Flash:1)He will swing the spear in full circle, slide towards you and
yelling when he releases the attack.
You will definitely see his arm swinging the spear.
Once he does that,quickly press your Kamui Flash on the [] button
2)He will jump toward you and when getting down he will release one
attack. The moment he starts the attack until half the way,
that is your Kamui Flash.
3)He will sneak behind you, in a quick moment he will quickly slide
toward you. The moment he almost reaches to you
(That is your moment of Kamui Flash),
he will move very quickly to slash you.
(3+)If the 3rd attack from Kagekiyo is a jump attack from above the
sturdy lantern, and you do not get hit, Kagekiyo will continue to
his next attack on the ground.
Weapon equipped: Unsigned Sword (any weapon)
Accessory equipped: Charm of Healing (any accessory)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode: He is the same Kagekiyo with a little bit tougher.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conditions : Full Kamui Gauge (Not a compulsory).
Tips : Nothing much. Kagekiyo is fast, but with 4 Kamui gauges,
you really have something to get him kneel down on you.
Everything else is pretty much the same as with Yoshitsune.
Well, the Hold R1 + X + direction always been useful to kick ass.
Even when his attack hits you,your attack will continue to hit him
Note : You cannot destroy the sturdy lanterns since you do not have the
ability to charge attack. However, you can ask Kagekiyo to hel
you destroying it. It is not necessary though.

Normal Mode, Continue Mode and Difficult Mode.
One interesting thing is to use your Kamui on those Samurai Soldiers from
the screen before you located the jar.
Climb up the cliff next to the save point, to the left screen,
fight 4 samurai, to the next screen.
Leave the samurai on this scren and continue to move forward, use Kamui.
Move forward to the hill top and the Kamui session is always be with you,
deleting the chance to get spotted by another group of samurai soldiers
on the next screen.
(if you just stand still the Kamui session will be over)
On your way to the hill top (Kurama hideout) and you will not be bothered by
any of the samurai soldiers on your way.
(If you do this in Chapter 1, you can pick up the Bracelet of Man without
getting hassled)
Find your way back and down the hill, your Kamui session will be finished
once you reach the next screen loading.
-Actually, you can try to do this in other places too-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move on and you will be facing 2(two) decayed trees blocking your way,
jump over the first one and hit once to get *Essence x1*.

you are and the health bar is decreasing) and the Kills counting
on the screen will keep ticking to your advantage.
However, please do not abuse/overdo it, since you might get hit
in doing so because Benkei is considered as slow.

Key Item : ^Claw of Raiju^ x2
Item : #Bead of Red and Gold#
Money : ? (N + C)
Conditions : Full Kamui Gauge (Not a compulsory).
Tips : Use 2x a (Double) Kamui to get Claw of Raiju x2, if you need to.
The rest is a hack and slash type of fight.
Equip Bracelet of Man to make things easier.
Note : Actually, one of the villagers in the Dosojin's Shrine (Chiyo)
will give a clue to you about some strange beastly cries from
inside the Nue's Place.
You have the initiative to kick ass for having 4 Kamui gauge.
Kamui Flash: 1)He starts to charge up and will jump to smash you.
Pay attention to HIS HEAD, he will nod down quickly and head up
again. That is when you suppose to hit the [] button.
DO NOT get too close on Raiju or you will not be able to see
the [] sign.
(The same as Nue's)
Weapon equipped : Crimson Lotus Club (any weapon)
Accessory equipped: Bracelet of Man (any accessory)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the fight, you will receive a bit of health replenish when you pick up
the #Bead of Red and Gold#.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode: You will not get the extra heath replenish when picking up
the Bead of Red and Gold.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: ~S6~
He looks like Nue in angry mode with more speedy and more
lightning vicious. After succeeding with your Kamui,
he will spread his lightning breath around his body.
Then he will sweep you with his electric charge from the
left wing to the right.
One important thing is,
you are able to get a certain item once he is defeated. How?
It seems that it will depends on how you performed when
fighting with Raiju!!!
The more skillful you are, the better item will you get!!!
For example, I got only health replenish when I did bad and
got nothing at all.
But, when I combo him up to the Hero ranking and without
getting hit, I got Tengu Herb x1.
Perhaps you should not use a Double Kamui on him!.
If the above is not working, then I miss something or it is a
random style too, but i doubt it is a random.
Once, I reached to Invincible ranking, 66 combo hits without
getting hit, but I performed a Double Kamui on Raiju and
I got nothing!.
And 7(combo hits) Kamui sessions in a row without getting hit,
still I got nothing!.
And 71 combo hits with single Kamui session without getting
hit, I got health replenish only!.
And 20+ combo hits with single Kamui result in Kurama Herb x1!.
In my opinion, you need to be quick in defeating Raiju besides
other factor such as Sword Skill Ranking.
Item you can get (according to ???):
Kurama Herb x1 or
Tengu Herb x1 or
?
I need to move on.
Yeah, you can equip Fox Fire and cause fire on Raiju if you
are successfully combo him to burn. He will loose a good amount
of health.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not leave the area yet, approach the small shrine (ruined), hit to get
*Essence x1*.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: +S5.17+
When you get back to the stairs on your way to the building
with the Save/Retreat Option, you will get Add. Essence from

Giant Evil Bone x1, Crystal Ball x1.

Yoshitsune
Don't you miss Kuyo and wanna teach her some lessons.
---------------------
*Mansion of Yorenshu*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is time to rejoin with Benkei and fight Kuyo.
(Go straight up and all the way up inside the Mansion of Yorenshu)
Yoshitsune
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss of the Mansion of Yorenshu : Kuyo
"Two against one. Isn't that unfair? Considering I am a woman".
(But I will summon the Giant Stone just to help me a little bit).
Difficulty : Medium Easy
Key Item : ^Giant Evil Bone^ x1, ^Crystal Ball^ x1.
Item : None.
Money : ? (N + C)
Condition : Equip Lightning Sword to challenge the Giant Stone.
Tips : Challenge: How many combos can you get?
If you want to get continuous hits on combo,
first combo the Giant Stone then perform combo at Kuyo
(at least 1 hit) when she approaches to heal the Giant,
quickly back to the Giant again and perform combo
(the first few hits will not be counted though).
Repeat.
The Kill counts will continue on.
How many hits can you get?
I manage to get 90hits+ and 6/7 continuous kills.
Too bad it does not drop any valuable items for this challenge.
How about 100hits+.
Kuyo's attack is not a dangerous kind,
just move around and you will be fine.
Perform a Kamui on the Giant Stone and it will drop the
Key Item Giant Evil Bone. The Kamui will automatically continue to
Kuyo, press [] at the right timing and she will drop a Key Item,
Crystal Ball.
Note : Every time the Giant Stone falls on its knees,
it is considered as a 1(one) Kill on the screen.
At least there are 3(two) main actions to persuade Kuyo to
approach you:
-Comboing the Giant Stone until it drops on its knee and Kuyo will
approach to heal it. Attack Kuyo.
-Perform a Kamui on the Giant Stone, and successfully press the
[] right on timing then Kuyo will approach at your back,
press the [] right on timing to deal a big/huge damage on her.
-Track her movement and when she is going to perform magic attack,
she will be vulnerable. You will not get a high combo hits though
since she is able to teleport herself,
right at the critical moment.
When the Giant Stone punch to the ground, which means the drills
will come out from the ground. Just move around a bit.
Kuyo will deliver thunder and ice attack
However, if you do not touch the thing you will not get hurt.
Kuyo is so powerful in the cut scenes,
but in real fight she is almost useless?
Just hope on the next episode, she turns real evil!
Kamui Flash:1)Perform a Kamui on the Giant Stone, he will attack your with
missiles?. Press [] at the half way up to almost hit you.
2)If successful, the Kamui will continue to Kuyo,
she will appears behind you, and ready to attack you with the
hair whip. Press [] when it almost hit you.
Counterattack: When the Giant Stone is attacking your lower body with its
grappling hand, wait until it reaches you and press [].
Weapon equipped : Lightning Sword (advisable to paralyze the Giant Stone,
thus easier to perform combo hits)
Accessory equipped: Bracelet of Man (any accessory)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode: They are the same as in Normal Mode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: They both more aggresive and a bit stronger.
The Giant Stone is able to throw its missiles a lot more so you
need to press [] twice during a single Kamui and Kuyo will
attend to use more magic attack to keep you away from healthy.
The Giant Stone can perform its Golem Punch many times in a row
and you can aerial combo him (Avoid Jump+Triangle+[])
many times in continuous until he kneels down.
It is going to be a mess there since Kuyo will keep releasing
the Drills and Elemental Traps.
You might want to, once a while keep tracking Kuyo to stop her
naughty mind.
It is MOST difficult now to bring up to the Challenge Mode.
(Mostly because the camera angle and other things)
Weapon equipped : Ogre Slayer (any weapon)
Accessory equipped: Charm of Force (any accessory)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshitsune
Bring the enemies near to the bridge (intersection) and use continuous Kamui
to reach to the Invincible Ranking.
There is a left turn on the damaged house before the bridge, get inside and
open the box to get #Charm of Benevolence# (the same place where you picked up
Thin Metal in Chapter 1).
Turn right at the intersection and walk down to the river side, fight enemies.
Break the jar to get =Talisman of Protection x1= and open the box to get
#Bead of Purple Poison#.
Move on to the Gojo Bridge. This is a good place to get level up ~Lvl.3~ since
a group of enemies keep coming back for many times and you can keep coming
back to this place at any time.
(23 Kills in a row and continuous Invincible Ranking = 2790Exp :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: (S5.25) Defeat the second group of enemies at the Gojo Bridge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intersection; Left, Right, Up.
-Left:
Once you satisfied, move on. Right after the bridge, break one jar to get
=Talisman of Protection x1=. Walk down to the river side, open the box to get
=Miracle Pill x1= and hit at the left corner to get *Essence x1*.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode: The box contained Miracle Pill is empty.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Right:
Onto the right river side, fight some enemies and break the jar to get
=Miracle Pill x1=. Open the box contains #Bracelet of Earth#.
There is another way in from the Right path. From the right corner,
get inside the Heishi Mansion through the broken wall.
-Up
Fight some enemies and back to the path on the right of the bridge to get
inside the Heishi Mansion.
Funny Thing 2:
Normal, Continue and Difficult Mode.
Finish off the enemies except the leader (red armor) for the last.
Now, when he is defeated, you can smash his body
(black color, standing position) repeatedly (unlimited?) before it touches
the ground (I played Benkei on the revisit to Underground Prison).
At least you can use it to recharge the Kamui Bars.
--------------
Heishi Mansion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshitsune
Get inside from the path of the right of the bridge and open the box to get
=1000Gold=.
To the front of the Underground Prison, fight some enemies and hit on the tree
at the right corner to get *Essence x1*.
There is no Save Point here.
------------------
Underground Prison
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshitsune
You know this place well, but this time, big rocks will fall down from the
above. One step at a time and you will be all right.
Use R1 to block or walk while holding R1.
Intersection 1: Left, Up
-Up:
You will see empty jars and another intersection.
Before the intersection there is a vibration.
Hit once at where the rock is falling to get *Essence x1*.
Intersection 2: Left
-Left:
To the prison cage. Fight some enemies and get =Tathagata Pill x1=
from inside the cage.
Move on, there will be 2(two) jars.
The first one contains health replenish.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: No fire trap here. Just falling rocks.
No health replenish.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intersection 3: Left, Down
-Left:
Another prison cage and some enemies. The green sumo will jump over
the screen and bump on you from the above.
You can try to get the secret item (Medicine of Power) from the green sumo,
it is kind of rare though.
Anyway, the sturdy box inside this cage is for Benkei (B12).
Outside the cage, a bit to the left at the center of the wall there is
*Essence x1*.
-Down:
Big rocks falling down.
Now, you will be at the intersection 1.
-Left:
Fight the green sumo. Open the box and get =1000Gold=
You might want to Save first (at the Dosojin's Shrine) before proceeding to
the boss.

Boss : Devilish Hoe Goblin Moritoshi Taira
Difficulty : Medium Easy
Key Item : ^Cursed Gauntlet^.
Item : None.
Money : ? (N + C)
Condition : Strong defense.
Tips : Use Kamui once on him to get the Cursed Gauntlet.
Note : Be careful of his combo hits, you will get dizzy.
When Hoe Goblin attacks with the poison, do not get near him
even when defending, the purple smoke will reduce your health.
Counterattack when he is rushing forward his weapon to you.
When he hits the wall, rocks will be falling from the above.
Kamui Flash:1)He will swing his weapon and perform rush attack.
Press [] when it almost hit you.
It happens very fast you might want to perform a Double Kamui.
1)Or when he is close enough, he will perform a multithrust
attack. When it almost hit you, you must press [].
Weapon equipped: Lightning Sword (any weapon)
Accessory equipped: Charm of Healing (any accessory)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: He attacks very fast during a Kamui. His defense is tougher.
His attack variation is the same as before.
His Kamui Flash is faster than before thus you need to press
[] right in time when he starts attacking (rushing towards you)
His rushing attack now is capable of reaching to the end of
opposite wall (extended version).
You can easily defeat him by combo-ing, defend/avoid, combo-ing
and repeat the process, When you are combo-ing near him,
he is a bit slow to react.
Kamui Flash 3): After succeeding your first Kamui and you are close to him,
perform a second Kamui, he might give you the multithrust
attack. The possibility is very small percentage.
Alternatively, combo-ing him will make him angry and will
initiate his mind to multithrust you.
This way you will have a bigger chance of success.
Press L1 for a Kamui session and enjoy Multi Kamui.
(Sometimes, he will always perform multithrust once triggered)
~S7~ - Multi Kamui:
Interestingly, you are given a chance to perform a Multi Kamui
by pressing [] three times subsequently
(during a single Kamui session!) as viewed on the screen.
And you might want to press [] a few times before it is shown
on the screen just incase you might miss it :). (MK)
Well, you might want ot try it on the Normal and Continue Mode.

Benkei
Go upstairs. In the room with a big rack (Y05) fight two groups of enemies.
Continue up and break the bamboo screen, go to the right and break one
jar to get =Potion of Power x1=.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~S2~
Secret Item; Medicine of Power.
Normal Mode and Continue Mode.
Important!
To the right of the Jar you broke just now, there are bamboo screens.
Break it and move forward to the next area.
Go downstairs to fight 4(four) green sumo.
This is the easiest place to get the secret item (Medicine of Power)
and high level up experience bonus.
Use a weapon with a decent or strong power attack to successfully finish them
in one Kamui attack since they have a high defense level.
For the result you will get a 349 Kamui Combo Rating plus +/- 1249 amount
of exp. and a chance to get a secret item; Medicine of Power.
The total attack power will increase according to your weapon's attack.
(If you use Lightning Sword: Attack +75, then the total of your attack point
will be: your current attack + 75 point.
The stronger your weapon, the more additional attack power will you get.
However, the downside is your defense will be cut by a half (only).
(If you equip Eight Dragons for your shield then your defense will only
add 31 points instead of 61 points :).
It is the most powerful item and with this item, it also means your quantity
of items on the menu screen has been completed 100% for Normal Mode.
You can keep coming back to this screen to level up ~Lvl.4~ and collect the
secret item as many times as you like. It is a quick turn over since the
change/next screen is only one step to the upstairs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue forward, move to upstairs. Fight two groups of Lizard Man.
There is a big rack for Yoshitsune to climb up (Y06).
Get out and fight green sumo again on your way. Once you reach outside,
explore to the other side. At the center you will fight taught enemies.
At the same place on the left side there are some sturdy lattices.
Break those sturdy lattices and at the end open the box to get #Ultimate Club#
Next, move on and break those bamboo screens on the left side.
Leave it for now, just continue forward. At the end, fight enemies and get
*Essence x1* and break the jar to get =Hi-Potion of Warding x1=.
Go back to the bamboo screen just now and fight some enemies if
you like but the big rack is the task for Yoshitsune(Y07).
Now switch back to Yoshitsune.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: +S5.33+
Essence x2, Defeat the 2nd group of samurai soldiers on the
first big rack (Y05).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jump onto the first big rack (Y05)
and get =Talisman of Protection x1= from the jar, plus *Essence x1*
at the middle-left corner.
Continue to downstairs where you fight green sumo, go upstairs where you
fight two groups of lizard Man. Climb up the big rack in here (Y06)
and pick up #Eight Dragons# (Armor for Yoshitsune).
Move on to where Benkei just now broke those sturdy lattices.
Next to it there is bamboo screens and one big rack (Y07).
Climb it up and get #Doji Slayer# (Yoshitsune's Weapon) from inside the box.
Move on to the next area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: +S5.34+
Essence x2, Defeat samurai soldiers on the next area after the
3rd big rack (Y07).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Downstairs, fight Lizard Man and Green Sumo.
To the left area.
Cut scene. This is when the sturdy door no.1 is broken.
-------------------------------------------
Rokuhara Palace, Sturdy Door no.1 is Broken
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshitsune
(Benkei is ready to help you)
Go out and Save at the sturdy door no.2 if you need to.
Now, back to the sturdy door no.1 and move on to upstairs and turn right.
Break the jar on the right to get =Hi-potion of Protection x1=.
Go the other side and break those bamboo screens.
Inside fight Thick Armor and samurai soldiers then climb up the big rack
to get =500Gold= and =Tengu Herb x1= from those jars.
There is *Essence x1* at the center area of the platforms.
Use your Kamui to reveal it
(From the diagonal side, jump and use the X button to hit it).
Get down, inside this room to the right side there is a path to the
boss area.
You might want to explore a bit, but do not forget to get out of this room
and explore to the opposite (other) side.
At the center you will find those sturdy lattices again.
This is a task for Benkei (B14).
At the center area, fight groups of samurai soldiers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: +S5.35+
Essence x2, Defeat samurai soldiers at the center area where
you find the sturdy lattices and Black Lacquered Armor (B15).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue forward. At the end, fight enemies and break the jar
to get =Hi-Potion of Power x1=.
There are also bamboo screens here. Break it and get nothing from the box.
This room is empty in every chapter, what is it for?
Switch to Benkei.
Destroy those sturdy lattices(B15) and get
#Black Lacquered Armor# (Benkei's Armor).
Switch back to Yoshitsune downstairs.
Get inside to the room with bamboo screen.
Again , fight Thick Armor and samurai soldiers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: +S5.36+
Essence x2, Defeat Thick Armor and samurai soldiers at the
last big rack on the way to the Final Boss area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funny Thing 4:
Difficult Mode only?.
If you are quick, once you defeat the Thick Armor, his body (black color)
will be available for hit practice and it will not drop on the floor if you
are able to keep hitting it continuously.
The advantage is for your Kamui bars.
I hit it with Benkei (Maybe it is easier to do it with Benkei and the club).
Move on to the Final Boss area.
There will be one sturdy door. Inside is a large room with many guards.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: +S5.37+
Essence x2, Defeat samurai soldiers at the last room
(downstairs) before you reach to Kiyomori's private room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upstairs is where Kiyomori awaits you.
There is a Save/Retreat Point upstairs.
Collect all the (Gold)money around the room starting from the Save Point to
the right; =100Gold, 100Gold, 1000Gold, 500Gold, 200Gold, 500Gold=
Now to the other side collect health replenish and =200Gold, 500Goold, 500Gold,
500Gold, 100Gold=
If you go back to the Dosojin's Shrine, there is no new item to purchase.

Conditions : Increase your strength to the max for the quick winning.
Tips : You can always use R1 to defense as it will only decrease a very
small amount of your health when get hit and you will not suffer
from the elemental effect.
When you are burned, equip Beads of Red and Gold to fasten remove
the effect. Or else for a quick recovery, assign the Talisman of
Protection on the directional button.
When you Kamui gauges is full, use Kamui on him. After he shouts
"Shine" use a second Kamui and when the laser beam is close to
you press [] to deflect it. Wait,the second laser beam is coming,
deflect it, without using Kamui is advisable.
Successfully doing a 2/3 hits Kamui Combo will destroy Kiyomori's
shield leaving him Vulnerable as he does not move nor perform any
counterattack whatsoever when you slash him as you wish for a
short moment.
However, you have a choice to finish him with style.
Obviously, you still have Kamui gauge left
(Double Kamui is advisable).
Right after the shield is gone, perform another Kamui on him.
This time the laser beams is different. You need to wait for a
short moment and let some of the beams passing by before you need
to press the Kamui one more time for a Double Kamui.
Deflect the laser beam and this time it will reduce Kiyomori's
health. After you hit him, wait until he raises another shield
before pressing the next Kamui otherwise it will be a waste.
The easier way is to destroy the shield with combo hits and
perform a Double/Triple Kamui on Kiyomori once the shield broke.
And you might want to use the Medicine of Power on him. OUch!!!
Repeat the pattern for 5(five) times to defeat him if you want to
use the Kamui style.
QUICK WINNING:
Takes about 30 seconds :)
Equip Charm of Tyranny + powerful weapon before entering the door
(Strength +40:237, Defense -40:177),
Run toward Kiyomori,
quickly use Medicine of Power(Strength + weapon attack point:312)
(directional button focus on Kiyomori)
release your Triangle attack + slash for 2/3 hits,
destroy the shield with combos (around 10 hits more of combo),
you may need to defend for one fireball,
destroy the shield,
slash Kiyomori,
Kiyomori raises the shield again,
you will need to block the laser falls and keep hitting to the
shield or run to your left/right and keep hitting to the shield,
the shield is destroyed,
slash Kiyomori for a few hits.
That is it!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode:
QUICK WINNING:
Takes about 15 seconds :)
Equip Charm of Tyranny and The Gale before entering the door.
Everything else is the same as above as in the Normal Mode.
The Triangle attack needs to hit Kiyomori for 2/3 hits with the
use of Medicine of Power.
The shield will collapse before Kiyomori got a chance to send
his fireball.
slash him with Offensive Combos! (6 hits full power thrust)
for a final few seconds.
Result: 25/26 combo hits.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHALLENGE MODE:
How many combos can you get?
Equip Charm of Tyranny + Unsigned Sword before entering the door
Run toward Kiyomori,
half way!, release your Triangle attack + slash for 2/3 hits,
Kiyomori raises the shield,
combo the shield,
defend for one fireball,
avoid or block the iceberg and the lightning while keep hitting
the shield,
Once the shield is destroyed,
slash Kiyomori for free,
Kiyomori raises the shield again,
and you are pushed to the corner,
perform Kamui (this way, the combo hit is still counting and
you are able to approach to the shield),
send Triangle attack to the shield and 3 hits combo before you
avoid the laser beams by running to the left or right and keep
hitting the shield one hit by one hit while keep running from
the next laser beam (usually there will be 2/3 laser beams),
you will be pushed to the corner again,
perform Kamui and the combo hits again to the shield,
when the shield is destroyed, slash Kiyomori for free,
repeat the process and remember to block or avoid the laser beam
and keep sending a hit or two at the shield to preserve the
combo counting.
When you are going to be hit, quickly perform Kamui, you will be
invincible for a temporary moment and the combo counting is
still preserved.
The most annoying part is the laser beams (also during a Kamui),
but do not worry, it usually comes in subsequent within 2 seconds
in distance or so.
Proceed to the front of the shield, avoid each of them by running
to the left and/or right and keep hitting for one time, avoid,
hit one time again.
In some cases, the laser attack during a Kamui and your quick eyes
still manage to see the [] sign, hit it and you will deflect it
back to Kiyomori. But we are here to accumulate combo hits, right.
One more thing, when Kiyomori is sending his laser falls,
just keep running to the left and right to avoid while keep
hitting one hit at the shield.
That is it!!! And enjoy the fight :)
Result in Normal Mode:
*159 combo hits and Invincible Sword Skill Ranking
when equipped with Charm of Tyranny and Lightning Sword*
*343 combo hits and Invincible Sword Skill Ranking
when equipped with Charm of Tyranny and Unsigned Sword*
Note : Yoritomo will summon a powerful shield around him.
You can hit it with combo to break it.
Meanwhile Yoritomo will send his elemental attacks to you
First pattern:
1)Fire Smoke
One slow fire smoke. Keep moving or jump to avoid.
2)Twin Fireballs
Two fireballs with a good speed homing at you.
Keep moving of jump.
3)Ice
Iceberg coming from the ground. Easy to avoid by moving around.
You can hit to destroy the iceberg.
4)Lightning
There as a sign from above your head warning you to run from it.
When hit you will sometimes be paralyzed for a while.
Just shake your body to remove the effect.
After the shield has broken for the first time, he will release
additional attacks to the pattern:
5)Laser beam
It is a quick shot and it will break your defense for a second.
Not to worry about though.
6)Doughnut Laser Beams
A circular laser form as a round doughnut, it's size it getting
smaller with you inside of it and then explode.
Jump over the doughnut and you will be fine.
Other way and more stylish is to use defend(R1) + Jump(X),
in other words; use dodging at the right timing.
After the shield has broken for the second time, he will release
other additional attacks to the pattern:
7)Golden Iceberg
This time if you touch it, you will get hit.
You cannot destroy it.
8)Laser Beams Drop
A group of laser beams aiming at you.
This one is easy to avoid. Just keep moving.
9)Laser Combo Hits
This time even you are at defense,
the next laser beam will hit you. Do not stay in one place.
All right, this time if you do a Kamui on him, sometimes you will
need to counterattack 3 laser beams in a row in order to destroy
the shield. The shield has grown stronger.
As long as you are equipped with Gem of Medicine and defending as
needed, you will be very fine.
After the shield has broken for the third time, he will release
other additional attacks to the pattern:
10)Laser fall
A group of laser beams send in curve and drop on you.
Not much different from the Laser Beams Drop.
Just keep moving.
To fasten replenish the Kamui gauge, hit and combo the shield.
Kamui Flash:1)When he raises the shield, use Kamui on him.
He will attack you with laser beams 2/3 times.
Deflect the laser beams back to Kiyomori destroying the shield.
When the laser beam is half way to hit you, press [].
2)Kiyomori will then leave unprotected. Banzai on him!
If you wish to continue to release another Kamui session,
he will then perform a more aggressive laser beams attack.
Press [] when it is close to you to deflect it and put a small!
damage on Kiyomori.

* Exp. -Master- Ranking. 3 to 4 Kamui hits.
* Exp. -Sword Master- Ranking. 5 to 6 Kamui hits.

Experience : 4230-4500 Exp. for the quick winning. Depends of the Sword Skill.
Conditions : Full Kamui Gauge is a must for the quick winning
for easy execution.
Tips : Easy way
Always defend and attack with Triangle button.
When he is a bit far, use the direction plus Triangle button
to hit him.
When the laser beams comes from the above, run to your right,
hide under the golden leaves :). It will not hit you!
Or use defend, you will only loose a very little amount of health
However, once he is angry/ his health has been reduced by half?
the last bang of the laser beam will spread on the ground.
You have to jump onto the golden leaves nearby or jump Up with a
good timing right after the sixth group of laser beams.
When he attacks from many directions, just be patience and defend
When he becomes a black shadow, nothing to worry about.
Just use the same strategy. Note that his direct attack will
result for regenerating his health.
When he becomes shiny, be careful of his poison attack.
Your health limit will be at 1 the least and if you get another
hit you know what will happened.
To avoid the poison, jump onto the golden leaves nearby or equip
Bead of Purple poison and you will be free of the poison effect.
Kamui Rules:
Once started, jump onto the golden leaves on your right.
When you perform a Kamui, he will ALWAYS come from the above,
make it easier to detect the timing. You will get 4 hits Kamui
Combo on him (reduce about a half of his health).
After that, he will continue attacking you and this will give you
a chance to counterattack if the timing is right.
Do not forget to use Medicine of Power on him for big damage.
Easy trick:
Be at the top of the center tower, use Kamui on Kagekiyo.
He will appear in front of you laughing with ZERO defense.
Feel free to slash him as you wish.
After a few free slashes, the Kamui process will begin
just like a normal one.
QUICK WINNING:
Takes about 30 seconds (start counting from the Kamui)
-Full Kamui Gauge-
Equipped with Charm of Tyranny(Strength +40:237, Defense -40:177)
jump your way to the center tower,
wait for Kagekiyo to follow and defend for his first attack,
quickly use Medicine of Power (Strength + weapon attack point:312)
quickly perform a Kamui (focus directional button on Kagekiyo).
Kagekiyo will laugh, slash him for 6 hits combo,
combo the Kamui for 5 times in a row.
(you are allowed to use Double, Triple or more Kamui).
The Kamui will hold for 5 Kamui combo hits.
That is it!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue Mode:
QUICK WINNING:
Takes about 30 seconds (start counting from the Kamui)
-Full Kamui Gauge-
Equipped with Charm of Tyranny and The Gale,
jump your way to the center tower,
wait for Kagekiyo to follow and defend for his first attack,
quickly use Medicine of Power (Strength + weapon attack point:312)
quickly perform a Kamui.
Everything else is still the same as above.
And the timing is still the same too. Well, he is the final boss.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHALLENGE MODE:
How many combos can you get?
Equip Charm of Tyranny + Unsigned Sword before entering the fight
jump your way to the center tower,
wait for Kagekiyo to follow and defend for his first attack,
quickly perform a Kamui,
Kagekiyo will laugh, slash him for 5-6 hits combo,
combo the Kamui for 5 times in a row.
Because you equip the Unsigned sword (lowest attack level),
you will need to hit the [] button for many times on Kagekiyo.
The Kamui will hold for 5 Kamui combo hits.
After comboing the Kamui for 5 times in a row,
Kagekiyo will be released from the Kamui and he will attack you.
Now, it is Very Important for you to be at the BEST position to
hit him again at least once and then here we go Kamui again.
It is advisable to release a Kamui during this important moment
although Kagekiyo will not be influenced to drag into the Kamui
session, however, his movement is more predictable and you are
able to take advantage of it and hit him at least once and then
be my guess to drag him again into the Kamui session.
Important! It is safer to defend right after the 5 hits Kamui
Combo because Kagekiyo moves is a bit unpredictable after
you comboed him.
The counting on the screen will stay for a few seconds and
there is still enough time for you to connect to the next Kamui
session thus your combo counting will continue.
If, during the second Kamui session(after the 5 hits Kamui combo)
you choose to defend and Kagekiyo will then falls down to the
ground below, you can decide to use another Kamui bar as long as
Kagekiyo is facing to your standing point.
And the Kamui will start again at the top of the center tower.
If, during a defend, Kagekiyo starts a force field attack,
he will be invincible for a moment even for a Kamui session.
Just wait for a second and you are welcome to use the Kamui again
to continue the combo counting.
Repeat the process.
That means you need to perform continuous Kamui in order to
preserve the combo counting on the screen.
Yes, right after the 5th Kamui combo hits,
(hit him at least once/defense and wait to release another Kamui)
Repeat.
This is the real challenge!.
How many times can you keep up with Kagekiyo? :)~
The best timing to hit the [] button is when Kagekiyo rushing down
from the above and his hand start swinging down to hit you
with his sword.
Note : Use the item Medicine of Power to your advantage.
You are able to jump from one leave to another and finally to
the highest place, the tower at the center.
Sometimes he regenerates his own health when he hits you.
Kamui Flash:1)At the top of the center tower, perform Kamui.
When Kagekiyo attacks you from the above, pay a good attention
to his hand start swinging down the sword and quickly press [].
It will be a 5 hits Kamui Combo rating.
1)In other case, if you perform the Kamui on the ground, you will
watch him laughing at the top of the center tower.
At this important moment, place yourself on the right side of
the screen (or left, it is your choice).
First attack:
He will (pay attention) disappear and suddenly reappear on the
ground (left point from where you stand).
He is very fast to attack you, almost when he appears take a
1/10 second and then press the [] button.
The second attack up to the fifth one will be from the left
since you are already at the most right side of the screen.
It will be a 5 hits Kamui Combo rating.
But since Kagekiyo is really FAST, I suggest you to supply
for a full Kamui bar on your pocket.
If possible, on the first hit from Kagekiyo,
do not use a Kamui bar. Save it for the next big hits.
Weapon equipped : Lightning Sword (any weapon)
Accessory equipped: Gem of the Demi-God (to add attack power and defense),
Or equip Beads of Purple Poison (to prevent the effect of
Poison attack),
Or equip Gem of Medicine for perfect defense,
Charm of Tyranny plus Medicine of Power for the quick
winning.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult Mode: Kiyomori is a lot more tougher! in defense.
He speaks of the same style, but you will have a little bit of
difficulty in defeating him. His defense is sooo strong it
only reduce a tiny bit when you hit him and a little bit only
when you perform a single kamui.
The best thing you can do is to perform continuous Kamui Combo
because the more Kamui combo hits, the more damage he will earn
Weapon equipped : Ogre Slayer (That is the highest attack level)
Accessory equipped: Gem of Medicine (advisable if you get hurt/Charm of Force)

VI. AMAHAGANE
*******************************************************************************
*Secrets:
1. Chapter 3:
Normal and Continue Mode:
(On Difficult Mode, the treasure box is empty but you will get the
Gem of Medicine from the True 100 Kills Challenge in Chapter 3)
*S1:
There is a double Taiko Drum at the end of Rokuhara Palace (just before you
get the Essence of Amahagane from the altar on the top). Use Benkei to
(sound) play with the Taiko Drum and a treasure box contains
Gem of Medicine will appear at the center.
2. Chapter 3:
Normal and Continue Mode:
*S2:
On the second session of the Rokuhara Palace (the first sturdy door has
been broken), upstairs, get out of the room and to the viewing side,
To the right of the Jar you broke just now, there are bamboo screens.
Break it and move on the downstairs.
Fight the green sumo
(the one you fought inside the Underground Prison, Gojo,
just before you enter the room to fight Devilish Hoe Goblin, Chapter 3).
Perform a successful Kamui on 4 of them (they will jump high disappear
from the screen and will bump on you).
This is the easiest place to get the secret item (Medicine of Power)
and high level up experience bonus, S2
Use a weapon with a decent or strong power attack to successfully
finish them in one Kamui attack since they have a high defense level.
For the result you will get a 349 Kamui Combo Rating plus +/- 1249 amount
of exp and a chance to get a secret item; Medicine of Power
The total attack power will increase according to your weapon's attack.
(If you use Lightning Sword: Attack: 75 points,
then the total of your attack will be your current attack + 75 points.
The stronger your weapon the more additional attack power will you get.
However, the downside is your defense will be cut by a half (only).
(If you equip Eight Dragons for your shield then your defense will only
add 31 points instead of 61 points :).
It is the most powerful item and with this item, that also means your
quantity of items on the menu screen has been completed 100%
for Normal Mode
You can keep coming back to this screen to level up (L3)and collect the
secret item as many times as you like. It is a quick turn over since the
change/next screen is only one step to the upstairs.
-Actually, you can get this item since the first time you meet with the
green sumo creature (Underground Prison, Rokuhara Palace), but anyway,
it is a rare item and when it comes to easiness and time efficiency,
why not just wait until chapter 3 so you can also get a lot of bonus
level up experience, not to mention that it drops more frequent
on chapter 3 :).
3. Chapter (1,2,)3:
*S3
Normal Mode, Continue Mode and Difficult Mode
-Clear The Way-
Mount Kurama, Revisit 1 with Yoshitsune:
One interesting thing is to use your Kamui on those Samurai Soldiers from
the screen before you located the jar.
Climb up the cliff next to the save point, to the left screen,
fight 4 samurai, to the next screen.
Leave the samurai on this scren and continue to move forward, use Kamui.
Move forward to the hill top and the Kamui session is always be with you,
deleting the chance to get spotted by another group of samurai soldiers
on the next screen.
(if you just stand still the Kamui session will be over)
On your way to the hill top (Kurama hideout) and you will not be bothered
by any of the samurai soldiers on your way.
(If you do this in Chapter 1, you can pick up the Bracelet of Man without
getting hassled)
Find your way back and down the hill, your Kamui session will be finished
once you reach the next screen loading.
-Actually, you can try to do this in other places too-
4. Chapter 3:
Continue Mode:
*S4
-The Gale and Boulder Piercer-
Secret Weapons from the Stubborn Blacksmith.
Once you have collected al the weapons on the Weapons List,
visit the Stubborn Blacksmith and he will reward you as promised:
The Gale and Boulder Piercer.
With it you are given the [] sign for timing in a counterattack,
including during the fight with bosses.
5. Chapter 1:
Difficult Mode:
*S5
Start Collecting Additional Essence of Amahagane!!! +
Use of Kamui on them will give you Essence x2 instead of x1!!!.

Defeat samurai soldiers and sometimes/a bit rare they will drop Essence
(more reliable on the Japanese version).
Myogyoji Temple:
S5.2
*Right before the big red door, second group of enemies,
just keep coming back through the big red door!.
S5.3
*At the ground before the stairs to the big red door,
2nd group of enemies
S5.4
*Right after the big red door/ in front of the building with
the Save/Retreat option. Defeat the priestess.
I did this with Benkei right after getting the Amber Prayer Beads.

Trial of Tenkukai - revisit 1 with Benkei:
S5.10
*A group of small monkeys before the Stone Monument.
S5.11
*A group of monkeys on the floating platform after the
Stone Monument.
You might want to beat down the small monkeys first instead of the
big one because the big one will call for more backups and one of
the backups might carry the Essence you are looking for.
This way, you will also save some travel time, or not.
It might become a little difficult to handle the situation with the
big monkey still playing in the field and get stronger and stronger.
Trial of Chisinkai:
S5.12
*Area 1, intersection 1, Right path, defeat Statue Soldiers.
Trial of Chisinkai - revisit 1 with Yoshitsune:

*Funny Things:
Funny Thing 1:
Normal, Continue and Difficult Mode.
Chapter 2, Trial of Chisinkai: Revisit 1 with Yoshitsune.
At the intersection 1, there is one strange thing when fighting those two
Statue Soldiers. When performing a Kamui on them, the other one goes down
on its knee to the ground and sacrifice himself giving the soul to its
partner.
When I load the save data to prove it, nothing happens?.
Well, I experienced it again at the place of the Statue of God.
I guess it is a kind of harakiri to give their soul to the chosen one to
carry on their spirit and purpose to defeat the enemy(Yoshitsune and Benkei)
Funny Thing 2:
Normal, Continue and Difficult Mode.
Chapter 3, Gojo, after the bridge.
Finish off the enemies except the leader (red armor) for the last.
Now, when he is defeated, you can smash his body (black color,
standing position) repeatedly (unlimited?) before it touches the ground
(I played Benkei -with Club- on the revisit to Underground Prison).
At least you can use it to recharge the Kamui Bars.
Funny Thing 3:
Difficult Mode.
Chapter 3, Mount Kurama - Revisit 6 with Yoshitsune.
When you meet the first group of enemies, S5.25 and decide to leave them
behind (move to upper part area on the same screen), the enemies will
totally disappear.
Just keep running though you are at the end of the upper area
(Yoshitsune is facing to you on the screen).
If you go back down to the original place they showed up,
they will always welcome you with warm hospitality.
This is not happening when playing in the Normal and Continue Mode.
Funny Thing 4:
Difficult Mode only?
Chapter 3, Rokuhara Palace, Sturdy Door no.1 is Broken,
-Defeat Thick Armor at the place you get, S5.36, at the last big rack-
If you are quick, once you defeat the Thick Armor, his body (black color)
will be available for hit practice and it will not drop on the floor if you
are able to keep hitting it continuously.
The advantage is for your Kamui bars.
I hit it with Benkei (Maybe it is easier to do it with Benkei and the club).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Place of (True) 100 Kills Challenge:

It is may not be a very accurate data since it is influenced by other factors.
The higher your Sword Skill the higher your level up bonus experience.

Related to Genji:
-Shanaou Yoshitsune-
Comic Book by Hirofumi Sawada:
A story about a destined young boy named Hyota to meet with Ushiwakamaru,
the real son of Minamoto no Yoshitomo (who is being exiled and later will be
placed at the Kurama Temple).
He will then change place for the sick Ushiwakamaru and swore for the
glory of the Genji Clan and to defeat the Heike Clan. During his journey,
-with his great charm, kindness and braveness- he will recruit 5 persons who
are in possession of great potentials with the words Bravery (Yuu),
Wisdom (Chi), Kindness (Jin), Reliability (Shin), and Loyalty (Chuu).
The first to recruit is -Oniwaka- Benkei Musashibo (Loyalty).
The second person is -Chiomaru- Toshimori? (Wisdom?).
He applies the strategic lesson from Ushiwakamaru to solve many problems.
Also a man named Kichiji made his promise to bring him safely to Hidehira
no Fujiwara in Hiraizumi, Oushu.
After performing Genpuku he changed his name into Shanaou Yoshitsune.
He plays a strong and very quick sword skill.
I guess that is the basic for Kamui :)�
(The story on the comic book is up to Chapter 2 I think :)
I hope that the complete story on the game is offering as many exciting

The game "Genji" was based on the folktale version of Minamoto no Yosh!tsune.
Game Republic have also taken some creative license in the use of Amahagane,
Kagekiyo's ambition and of course the refusal of Yosh!tsune to join up with
Minamoto no Yoritomo.
Hence the game is fiction. The real Yosh!tsune did not possess divine power,
nor was he a lone fighter.
He lived circa 1200 AD. The Heike finally defeated the Genji clan after
years of rivalry. All of Genji survivors were either killed r exiled, as was
the case of Yosh!tsune. He was sent to the Buddhist Temple in Mount Kurama.
His older brother Yoritomo was sent to Hiruga Kojima and lived under
surveillance.
To make a long story short, Yosh!tsune ended up joining with Yoritomo's
forces and together they vanquished the Heike. However Yoritomo began
doubting his brother and in the end he ordered for Yosh!tsune's asassination
I suggest a good place to start is to Google "Yosh!tsune".
But beware of the two paths your paper can go:
the 'true' tale or the 'folklore'.

As GadisNaga points out, there is a LOT of fiction involving Yoshi-tsune.
He has been romanticized so much over the centuries that it's really hard
to strain the absolute truth from legend. Historically, even Benkei himself
as Yoshi-tsune's impressive sohei comrade may not have existed,
as he's only mentioned by name fleetingly as one of Yoshi-tsune's soldiers
in most of the more factual historical documents.
You could do a very good paper on how men become legends, though.
If you go that route, definitely add how folk tales say Yoshi-tsune escaped
his brother's wrath and fled to mainland Asia where he became Genghis Khan.
The Samurai Archives are, as always, a great starting point.
There are two translated novels written about the Genpei War
(where Yoshi-tsune earned his fame), the Heike Monogatari or Tale of Heike
and the simply named Yoshi-tsune. Neither are 100% historically accurate,
but are better than pure folklore.
The whole period is fascinating and the rise and fall of the Taira and
Minamoto (Heike and Genji) families is very interesting, particularly how
the 'evil' Heike were partially brought down by acts of kindness
(sparing Yoshi-tomo's sons) while the Minamoto were later brought down by
suspicion, fratricide, and internal scheming.

1. Normal Mode
*Benkei and Yoshitsune finally completed the mission.
Yoshitsune helps Lady Shizuka leaning on his arms.
Kiyomori's army having lost their leader, and attacked by Yoritomo's army,
abandoned Kyoto and fled to the West.
At the beautiful river side,
Lady Shizuka combines all the Amahagane and give it to Yoshitsune.
Yoshitsune refuses to meet with his brother (Yoritomo) as to avoid
talking about the Amahagane and also to avoid having anymore bloodshed.
"Let us go on our way" said Yoshitsune.
Yoshitsune is looking at Lady Shizuka from above the horse then
Lady Shizuka gives her hand to Yoshitsune.
He helps her onto the back of the horse.
Benkei and Princess Minazuru are waiting beside the two of them.
