Way of the Samurai 3 FAQ

Author: EVERYTHING26

version: 1.11


Intro:

Well this is my first attempt at writing a FAQ, I figured since I've played
the game to death and some information still isn't up on current FAQs to write
this guide, it's main purpose is to help people fill in the blanks, so I'm
assuming you have already played though a few times and know about this game,
so I'm at the moment not going to do into controls and basic tips.

SPOILER WARNING: I haven't taken any care in warning about spoilers, so if you
look into an ending it might spoil it, although I've only given the basic
information for the ending you are forewarned.

**********************************************************************

Below are step by step guides to get each ending.  Each step has the place where
it happens, who you talk to or if it happens automatically when you enter the
area, and what responces you should give/ what you need to do to get the ending.

I've put under each ending a basic idea of what to do for the ending.  I also
want to note that there are many ways to get every ending, I've listed one way
to get each ending if you're unable to get it yourself, this methods may not
be the easiest/fastest way but will get you that ending.

**********************************************************************

Basic:  Make it so you can't get any other ending and say to Kota you're
scared of attacking Shuzen yourself.

The easiest way to force this is after Nobunaga rescue Yuma, draw your sword

your sword again at the start of that event.

**********************************************************************
Ending 22 - The Legend of the Demon                         [ending22]
**********************************************************************

Basic: Kill all static NPC's in the game including Shuzen.

My Method:

I first want to thank Fuuinashi for what he had posted about this ending,
what I'm putting here is basically what he had already posted.  Now this ending
technically doesn't require any events to be done so I'm going to describe a
method not a list of events.

1st thing before you go around killing everyone is you need to join Fujimori
clan and gain access to Shzuen, this means doing 4 jobs for Fujimori and enough
inklings to get in to see him.

After that it's time to kill everyone.  Basically what you want is to go to each
of the areas day AND night to find people and kill them.  Leave Shuzen, Genjuro
and one Biwa player (so you can save) to last.  Do remember as you do area to
area that it's static NPC's, so there will be random encounters still but a lot
less people should be there.  Something else to note is you can never kill kids,
so don't try.

Now after you believe you only have those 3 I listed above left, kill Genjuro.
I don't know if you need to kill the Ouka members who will be bowing to you
after the scene but kill them anyways.  Now there should be two NPC's left,
Shuzen and the biwa player, so either kill both and see if you got 100% kill
rate or just kill the biwa player and leave Amana. If your kill rate is 99.45%
then all you have is Shuzen left so reload and kill him this time.  If it's
anything lower then you're missing someone, so go to each area, again day and
night until you find them.

Now because you're killing unarmed people you will get a huge negative on your
samurai points, I got -27500 points which put me back to a total of 0.  So if
you haven't gotten 10000 points yet I don't suggest doing this ending.  Also
if you're only interested in getting platium this ending isn't required for it
it's a hidden ending for fun.

Also something worth noting is when you do kill 100% of people in certain areas
like Takatane and Minori that there are speical weird inklings that can happen,
the best one imo is in Minori it's a party like you normally have... only your
character is eating veggies and all your guests are animals.

**********************************************************************

Description: Many Partners were attracted to you.

Requires Ending: No

Tips to get: What this requires is that the total affections of all partners is
greater then 50%.  A good tip I got from Fuuinashi on the boards was to find a
partner talk to them select the 1st option, travel to a different area and talk
to them again selecting the 1st option, keep moving between areas and eventually
you're have them at max affection. Each partner at max can give about 7%, so
you do need 7-8 partner for the 50%.

**********************************************************************

Description:  Total number of people given a Shameful Slashes exceeded 100.

Requires Ending: No

Tips to get: Yet another title that will drain your samurai points.  I've done
this most easily using the draw style sword basic attack and attacking from
the side.  Also the basic triangle attack on duel swords works as well.

**********************************************************************
Title:  Shy Samurai                                          [title20]
**********************************************************************

Description:  Cleared the game with less than 5 conversations.

Requires Ending:  Yes

Tips to get:  A conversation counts only when you start it by hitting X, most
important thing about this is THAT IT INCLUDES SAVING!  I got this with 4
conversations, one to join Ouka, one to join Fujimori one after Setsuen to allow
me to do all his events, and finally I saved just in case the length of the game
was under an hour.

**********************************************************************

Description:  Total number of weapons created exceeded 20.

Requires Ending:  No

Tips to get:  All you need is a single part to create weapons so I'd suggest
going to the DLC shop, getting 20 dollar parts and create a bunch of
worthless weapons.



**********************************************************************
Title:  Litterbug                                            [title23]
**********************************************************************

Description:  Total number of items and weapons discarded exceeded 50.

Requires Ending:  No

Tips to get:  Fastest way is again at the DLC shop buy up 50 items and drop
them in a very awesome scattering of items (if you drop all 50 at once).

Do remember you can't discard/ destroy items in the sword/ item safe they
have to drop on the ground for this title.

Requires Ending:  No

Tips to get: Sticks and Brooms can both be given the title "common" with no
upgrades.  If you take the redemption mission from Omiki town the farmers will
have plenty of sticks for pickup, just bring Yukino as a partner so you can
store up a bunch of them in the sword safe.

a game and keep kissing the dirt and getting up until you have the title under
your profile.

Title:  Dojo Conqueror                                       [title27]
**********************************************************************

Description:  Killed everyone in the Dojo.

Requires Ending:  No

**********************************************************************

Description:  Total number of people kicked exceeded 100.

Requires Ending: No

Tips to get:  Do this on easy and just start kicking people with swords to avoid
getting negative points until they go down.  If you use blunt attacks you won't
kill them so you can kick them again.



**********************************************************************
Title:  Collector                                            [title29]
**********************************************************************

Description:  Total number of items and weapons picked up exceeded 100.

Requires Ending:  No

Tips to get:  The total doesn't include any items that are always on the
ground like the radish in the fields they have to come from dead people.  Now
you don't have to keep the items so the easiest way is do to a 100 kill mission
and pick up everything they drop.

Again cause litterbug is above this title do remember don't drop more
then 50 of those items.  Yukino can be used to store up weapons to avoid
the litterbug.




**********************************************************************

**********************************************************************

Description:  Total number of objects destroyed exceeded 200.

Requires Ending:  No

Tips to get: Mumechika's place has a large amount of items to destroy so I
suggest destroying everything there go to Kuchigahara and repeat till 200.

As well the house at the south end of the road has many things to destroy as
well, all those little boxes can be destroyed.



**********************************************************************
Title:  Chatty Samurai                                       [title31]
**********************************************************************

Description:  Total number of conversations exceeded 250.

Requires Ending:  No

Tips to get:  Like shy samurai a conversation counts when you hit X to start
talking.  Now this means that the conversation doesn't have to be completed but
likely the fastest way is to find someone that just says one thing and talk to
them many times.



**********************************************************************

Cat Location                                                    [cats]
**********************************************************************

Below are locations where I've personally seen the cats at one point, some are
rather and I'm pretty sure I'm missing some from Takatane and Amana but they
refuse to appear elsewhere for me after many times coming in (or I'm just
missing
them...) so if you know of locations, again contact info is below.

Jobs Overview                                          [jobsoverview]
*********************************************************************

In this section you will find details for all side jobs in the game.  I've
included the offical description from the job status, a basic idea of how
far in the game you have to be to get the job and a general idea of how to
complete it.

One thing I want to note right away is that if someone is related to your job
that their name tag will be purple in colour so you'll always know if they part
of the job or not.

For my when of all jobs it's a basic idea so early game is about 1-4 events, mid
game is 5-8, mid-late is 9+ and late game missions are either right before the
nobunaga event or after it.  Now this isn't exact so if I say a mission happens
late it still may happen after 6-7 events I just never saw it at that point.
I've
included this just so you don't keep doing jobs right away expecting to get
something that's only going to happen later in the game.

As well some of the when's state being a redemption mission, this means you've
pissed off that faction either by killing their members or wronging them in some
way (like failing jobs repeatly).  A redemption mission will normally piss off
another faction, if you don't want to piss off a different faction I'd suggest
paying 1000 yen to get back in their good graces.

Now when I'm description a location I've said wherever it's north, south, east
or
west on the map, I'm referring to the local map so north being up and so on.

Finally I want to mention in my how to, unless every time I've done a job the
target has only been in 1-3 locations I've given an idea of how to search for
your target instead of a massive list.  This is mainly cause I did try to make a
list for a few jobs and I felt that unless I make a picture of the area it's
just to hard for me to give an accurate idea of where things are.  If you have
a good list you believe will work or other info as always please do contact me.


*********************************************************************
Elder Misae                                               [jobsmisae]
*********************************************************************
Misae will be in Takatane, all her mission are about helping the people of
Takatane.



********************************************************
Misae's Underwear!
********************************************************

Description: Find Misae's favorite underwear that she dropped somewhere in
[Kuchihagahara].  It is inside her Furoshiki, a wrapped cloth.  Find it and
return it to Misae.

When: Her favorite mission to give you early to the end of the game, it would
seem she can't help but keep losing her underwear....

How to:  Basically when you go to Kuchihagahara you are looking for a small
green-ish coloured bag on the ground.  It appears in several area, I'd suggest
start the search in the north end of the river, go down to the path to Amana
and if you still can't find it follow the east side path up towards Minori
Castle.  It's always been near a wall for me.

When you find the item you have to get back, if you head directly to Takatane a
crow will appear and steal the item if it makes contact with you.  To avoid it
you I generally need to go in a circle around it.

Alternatively you can just go to Amana or Minori and quick travel back to
Takatane and not even worry about the crow.


********************************************************
Runaway Children!
********************************************************

Description: 3 children ran away from home after being scolded because of their
recents pranks.  Proceed to the [Guard Gate] and find the children.

When: Early game.

How to:  I'm not very fond of this mission, as some of their locations can be
rather annoying.  There will be 2 boys and a girl, once you find them they'll
follow you around.

From the entrance from the posting station I'd suggest going around
counter-clockwise, look in the building to your right when you get in and go to
the dojo.  The island area can be a hiding location as well as just inside the
dojo on the north-west wall.  From there just keep looking at every wall, they
can be hidden inside some of the greenery along the walls.

Ultimate they are always right up against something, mostly wall this mission
can be really easy or really hard depending on where they end up.

When you find one of them talk to them and select the 1st option "Let's Go" and
they're start to follow you around, and if they get close they tent to try to
kick you, so just keep moving and find the rest of them.


********************************************************
Punish the Food Thief!
********************************************************

Description: A Jumbo Radish grown with loving care by the villagers has been
stolen.  The thief is a man from [Omiki Town].  Use blunt Attacks to properly
punish him.

When: Mid game.

How to:  When you get to Omiki town all you have to do is find the guy and knock
him out.  His name will be "thief", he'll look like a normal villager.  He walks
around the area but seems to stick to the roads, so just wander around the area
and you're sure to find him soon enough.

When you've found him I'd suggest a backattack with something strong to start,
he'll start running away but never leaves the area so just keep hitting till
he's down.  Just remember if you kill him you fail the mission.


********************************************************
Are we there yet?
********************************************************

Description: Misae is not feeling so well today.  Push her gently to her
destination.  Colliding with her 3 times will result in failure.

When: Mid game.

How to:  This is annoying.  She'll tell you where she wants to go and you have
to slowly push her to where she wants to go.  Not much to say on this one, just
be patient and try not to bump her.  Personally I rarely take this mission, it's
just to much of a bother.

I also love the second you're done the mission she's perfectly fine to walk
back to her normal position.


********************************************************
Village Girl Rescue Operation!
********************************************************

Description: Rescue the girl who's been kidnapped due to her father's debt to
the
bandits.  The bandits can be found at the [Road].

When: Mid game.

How to:  They're always in the southern area of the road near the house in my
experience.  Go there and you'll see a bunch of Ouka thugs asleep, if you're
strong enough to one shot them or on IK you can take them out without anyone
waking up, otherwise just kill away.

Once they're dead talk to the hostage (which will be Kana a partner the 1st time
you do the mission) say you're there to rescue them and move closer to either
exit and about at the point where the road forks east and west she'll say she's
safe there when she's close to you to complete the mission.


********************************************************
Stop the War!
********************************************************

Description: A conflict between Fujimori and Ouka Clan has developed in
[Kuchihagahara].  Suppress the fight or the tax collector will show no mercy.

When: Mid game.

How to:  A simple fun mission where you go to Kuchihagahara and kill everyone of
both sides.  Now I'm not sure how to fail this mission... I've waited long
enough for there to only be one side left alive, either way just run around
until you find the group fighting and start killing.



********************************************************
Stop the Violence!
********************************************************

Description: The farmers have been suffering oppression from Fujimori Clan.  3
villagers, who couldn't stand the poverty, turned into thugs and headed for
[Omiki Town].   Stop them at any cost.

When: Mid game.

How to:  The 3 farmers will look like villagers, named "Violent villager".
They will be all around Omiki, again generally against walls so just go around
the area in a circle.  I normally go down the main street checking every area
they could hide and go up to where Oryo is then back down to find them.

When you speak with them you can either fight them or talk them down. I
generally select the 2nd option in conversation, "Go back to your village" and
they always go back, however you can kill them and to my knowledge there are no
concequences for doing so.


********************************************************
Assassinate Lord Shuzen!
********************************************************

Description:  Shuzen Fujimori has been oppressing the villagers with severe
taxes.  According to an informer, Lord Shuzen will be in [Omiki Town] tonight.
Go there and kill him!

When: Late game.

How to:  Your target will the in the south-western house 2nd floor, the name
will be Syuzen a double of Shuzen.  Even though your target isn't actually
Shuzen you must kill Syuzen to succeed at this mission.


********************************************************
Misae's Challenge!
********************************************************

Description:  Misae is challenging you to a duel!  She'll have no regrets,
whatever the results. Proceed to [Kuchihagahara] tonight.

When: 1st you must have max trust with Misae meaning after a job you get 600
yen.
After the Nobunaga Event she should offer this mission.

How to:  Misae will appear right in the middle of the area, so speak with her,
agreed to end things and kill her.  She should drop a golden egg, but more
importantly the sword Ookuronama since only she carries it.


********************************************************
Can you Eliminate 100?
********************************************************

Description: A gang of outcasts arrived at the [Guard Gate] and they are
plotting
a crime against Amana.  Go there and dispose them in order to win back the
villagers' trust.

When: Redemption mission, before Nobunaga event.

How to: Go to the Guard Gate and get killing, they'll just keep coming.


********************************************************
Wave of Silver Blades!
********************************************************

Description: Eliminate 100 outcasts accused of trying to steal money from the
villagers.  Proceed to the [Guard Gate] and get rid of them all in order to win
back the villagers' trust.

When: Redemption mission, after Nobunaga event.

How to: Go to the guard gate and get killing, they'll just keep coming.






*********************************************************************
Overseer Oryo                                              [jobsoryo]
*********************************************************************
Oryo is in Omiki, her jobs are mostly about killing people for her or her town.


********************************************************
Oryo's Errand!
********************************************************

Description: Deliver a letter to Kiyonari's servant.  The servant will be
waiting outside [Castle Amana].  After delivering the letter, report back to
Oryo.

When: 1st mission so early to late.

How to:  I'd argue this is the easiest mission to complete, you just have to
find the guy with the purple name Messenger. Talk to him and say "Yes, I have
something for Kiyonari." and then collect your reward.

To find him from the Omiki entrance I go south towards the Kuchigarahara
entrance if he's not there I loop around the castle, and be sure to check both
sides of the road for him.  He has been up the stairs along the castle's back
entrance for me but never near the front entrance.  He also will never be inside
the castle.


********************************************************
Justice for All!
********************************************************

Description: A killer is slaying people for mere pleasure.  Proceed to the
[Road] and kill him.  Show no mercy.

When: Early to late.

How to:  Go to the road, when you find him he'll draw on you so be ready to
fight.  I've really only found him on the roads or at the southern house area.
He'll be named killer with that purple job indicating name tag, so just kill him
and go back to Oryo.


********************************************************
The Hand of an Agent!
********************************************************

Description: Confront the man who broke an important promise with Omiki Town.
He's at the [Guard Gate].  To solve this problem, perhaps you can buy off one of
Fujimori's men.

When: Mid to late.

How to:  The description says perhaps you can buy off one of fujimori men but
really you have to buy him off.  The guard's name will say Fujimori warrior,
and like most missions finding him may be a pain since he appears all over
guard gate.  The only suggest I can give to find him is go along the walls,
like most people he's normally right beside one.

Now that you found him you have to bribe him, so I do hope you have some money
on you, as well as some radishes.  I'd suggest just giving the 300 yen and a
normal radish, as they're easily replaced and you can kill him to get your
money back when he's done.

From there you just have to watch him do his thing, he'll go kill the guy and
come back, again from there you can get your money back by killing him.


********************************************************
Silence the Big Mouth!
********************************************************

Description: A fujimori's minion has been bragging about his new wepaon.
Proceed to [Castle Amana] and break his weapon as punishment.

When: Mid to late.

How to:  He's well named Big Mouth and like the messenger in Oryo's errand he
should just be somewhere outside the castle.  When you find him speak to him
and taunt him, eventually a fight will break out.  The key to this mission is
to keep defending, eventually his weapon will break from heat, and once it does
you're done, you never have to hit him once.

I do want to mention never do this mission on IK chances are you're going to end
up dead or just using far to many items for what you get from it... this is one
of the missions I normally never take as I don't like waiting for his weapon to
break, beyond just getting hurt.

Also you may need to turn auto parry off in the special settings of the options,
since if you auto-block something it doesn't seem to generate heat on his
weapon.  You should only need to do this if you've matched a bunch of his moves.


********************************************************
The Big Boss!
********************************************************

Description: Bandits are making their home on the [Road].  Find their Boss and
kill him!

When: Mid to late.

How to:  The gang can appear in several locations on the road, however they are
easy to find since it'll be a big group of Ouka thugs.  The only one you need to
kill is the big Ouka thug, named Boss.

Now if you injury the boss and then kill a minion the boss does heal, so either
kill all minions 1st or just go for the boss, after the boss is dead the minions
will flee in terror if they're still alive.


********************************************************
Beauty and the Beast!
********************************************************

Description: A village girl was kidnapped by a vicous outcast.  Proceed to the
old temple at the [Road] and punish him.

When: Mid game.

How to:  He's always on the west side of the temple towards the north, the
village girl you are to rescue will be above.  His name will be vicous outcast,
so speak to him or just attack him.  Once killed you complete the mission, you
don't have to help the hostage appearently.

Not that the 1st time you do this mission the partner Misaki will be the hostage
so if you want her as a partner you need to do this 1st.


********************************************************
Clear the Way!
********************************************************

Description:  A conflict between a group of outcasts and farmers has broken out
at the [Guard Gate].  The fight is interfering with business.  Proceed and stop
the madness.

When: Mid-late game.

How to:  The conflict won't be hard to stop, so just go in there and kill them
all.


********************************************************
Pride Comes with a Price!
********************************************************

Description:  There are 3 Killers in [Takatane Village] who are complaining
about their pay for jobs assigned by Oryo.  They're threatening to kill
villagers and blame the townspeople.  Get rid of them.

When: Mid-late game.

How to:  There are be 3 Ronin somewhere in the village named Killer, you can
speak with them if you want but you might as well just start by attacking them.

They can be all over the village, so I'd suggest starting by Dojima's place and
slowly working your way towards the south end of the village.  I've seen one
in your character's house however they will never appear in other houses as you
can do this at night (which may be a good idea).


********************************************************
Oryo's Interest!
********************************************************

Description:  Oryo has shown interest in you.  Proceed to [Kuchihagahara] at
nightfall and find out her intentions.

When: 1st you must have max trust with Oryo meaning after a job you get 600 yen.
After the Nobunaga Event she should offer this mission.

How to:  Oryo will be due west of the north end save Biwa player on the small
cliff.  Speak with her before the fight so she'll drop a golden egg when she
dies.  After the fight be sure to pick up her weapon Biteikotsu as she's the
only guarenteed person to have it.


********************************************************
Blood for False Accusations!
********************************************************

Description:  You were falsely accused of stealing rice from the people of Omiki
Town.  Defeat 100 farmers in [Kuchihagahara], and get Oryo's help to regain
their trust.

When: Redemption mission, before Nobunaga event.

How to: Go to the Kuchihagahara and get killing, they'll just keep coming.


********************************************************
Bloodshed in Kuchihagahara!
********************************************************

Description: 100 fed-up farmers are planning to rise in retaliation in Omiki
Town.  Before it starts, head down to [Kuchihagahara] and defeat them all.  It's
a test to regain trust from the townspeople.

When: Redemption mission, after Nobunaga event.

How to: Go to Kuchihagahara and get killing, they'll just keep coming.






*********************************************************************
Commander Kiyonari                                     [jobskiyonari]
*********************************************************************
Kiyonari works for Fujimori so is in Amana, his jobs are about "justice" even
though he gets things wrong... and about perserve power for himself and his
clan.



********************************************************
Samurai Punisher is Coming!
********************************************************

Description: A notorious thief known for his pick pocketing is hiding at the
[Road].  Find him and give him 10 beatings.  Use blunt Attacks to make him
renounce his crimes.

When: His 1st mission, so early.

How to:  Basically you have to find the thief and using blunt attacks knock him
out.  His name when you get close to him will be criminal, and you can talk to
him to let him know why you're there but I'd suggest attacking with something
powerful to get you started.  Just remember use blunt attacks!

He will run away and leave the area, if he leaves the area and you can't get him
leave the area yourself, you won't fail and he'll respawn when you re-enter
the road.

Now the big question many will ask is now to find him, normally he's either
around the temple grounds or in the forest just south of the tranfer area
to Amana Castle.  I suggest starting from the forest just south of said
entrance, if he isn't there go around the temple counter-clockwise making sure
to look up, and across the river.

Don't waste too much time searching, if you can't find him leave the road and
come back, I've found that some times no matter how much I search I can't find
him but if I leave and come back and it takes no time to find him.


********************************************************
Baby Abduction!
********************************************************

Description: In order to rescue the kidnapped babies, you must fight the
kidnappers who show up to receive ransom.  Speak to Kiyonari regarding the
meeting place.

When: Early.

How to:  As the offical description say you find where to find the kidnappers
from Kiyonari, so go there and knock them out.  After you KO the ring leader
one of two things happen, either the baby(s) just fly out of her as items
or you need to speak with her to find the location of the baby.

If she gives you a location it can be a major pain to find the baby, I've found
that the baby can be located just about anywhere in that area.  The kid will
be small wrapped in a blue blanket so normally when you see it you'll know it.
I'd suggest doing a north/south or east/west search, like in Takatane I normally
start in the north side and slowly work my way down south.

On a side note, I still love the ability to kick the baby to pick the kid up and
that you're so skillful that you never seem to injury the kid.


********************************************************
Who's Who?
********************************************************

Description:  Find the real thief among the 3 suspects in [Omiki Town].  Use
blunt Attack to capture the crook.  Ask Kiyonari about the characteristics of
the
thief.

When: Early.

How to:  Kiyonari will give a characteristic of the person, something they do
repeatly, like apoligizing for no reason.  There will be 3 men walking around
named "Suspect", all look the same with white and pink shirts.  So just follow
one at a time until he does what Kiyonari says he does and knock him out with
blunt attacks.

A majority of the time it will be clear who the person you're after is though I
don't suggest wasting time if you're not sure after following them all around,
just KO one of them.  If you remember to save before doing the mission you can
re-load if you KO the wrong person while taking a random guess, as you do have a
1/3 chance of getting it right.


********************************************************
Ghost Sightings in Amana!
********************************************************

Description: A killer disguised as a ghost is murdering people at the [Guard
Gate].  The identity of the killer is unknown.  Wait until nightfall and
eliminate the killer.

When: Mid game.

How to:  This must be done at night as the description says, so 18:00 to 6:00
the
next day.  What you're looking for is a women who will be sitting looking at a
wall.  She has a purple outfit and the name will be Ghost?.

When you find her you need to fight her, if you use normal attacks when you kill
her she will take you down to 1 health.  So I highly suggest using blunt attacks
that will simple make her vanish when defeated.


********************************************************
Samurai Punisher is Coming!
********************************************************

Description:  The ashigaru Sergeant of Fujimori Clan stole an important document
and is currently on the run.  Head to the [Road] where he's hiding and use blunt
Attack to capture him.

When: Mid game.

How to:  He's an armoured Fujimori guard named Ashigaru Sergeant, and personally
I've only found him in 3 areas on the road: 1) At the southern most house, right
behind the 3 barrel to the left of the house.  2) Just south of the exit to
Minori. 3) Just north of the main temple building to the east side of the wall.
E-mail me if you find him elsewhere in the many times I've done this I can't
recall having seem him elsewhere.

Remember to knock him out not kill him when done report back, if you speak to
Kiyonari again you can find out what "important" documents where stolen.


********************************************************
Fujimori's Ninjas!
********************************************************

Description:  Fujimori elites, who want a full-scale war against Ouka Clan,
ordered 3 ninjas to assassinate Ouka Clan's soft-liners.  Proceed to [Castle
Minori] and eliminate the ninjas.

When: Mid-Late game.

How to:  The ninjas will look like normal Fujimori guards with masks on.  They
will be located anywhere in Minori, most of the time in the Castle grounds. It
can be a major pain to fight them as Ouka clan members will be everywhere.

One thing I personally didn't know before doing this mission is that you can get
on the roof of the main building either by the stairs outside on the north side
of the building, or by the window again north side on the 2nd floor... when
searching for the ninjas be sure to look up all the time.

The big problem is them disappearing.  If one of them manages to vanish (either
from being ingored or taking damage) he won't be back until you leave the area
and come back again.  Thankfully if you do kill any of them you will only need
to get the ones that manged to vanish when you return to Minori.

For that reason I don't like this mission, it's tends to just take too much
time.


********************************************************
Samurai Punisher is Coming!
********************************************************

Description:  A Samurai General is plotting to kill Lord Shuzen.  Assassinate
him
at the [Guard Gate] and don't let anyone see you or they may assume it's a
sanction by a Samurai Punisher.

When: Mid-Late game.

How to:  So you have to find a single Fujimori guard who is in full armour with
the name "Samurai General".  If the other Fujimori guards see you they will
either try to kill you or run away, and if they do runaway the Samurai General
vanishes and you can't complete the mission.  The Fujimori Guard that are
normally in the area do not count towards this so the one right beside the gate
to leave Amana can see you without concequence.

First I'd suggest quick traveling to Minori then the Road to start north as each
time I've done this mission he's been either right beside the northern building
or down the path at the northern point.  When you find him try to kill him
without moving to avoid the other guards.

If a guard does see you and starts to run, try to kill him or knock him out.  If
you can't reach him leave the area and you won't fail the mission and can try to
reach the general again.


********************************************************
Eliminate them All!
********************************************************

Description:  Ouka Clan and a group of outcasts have started a fight, which lead
to a fierce battle at the [Road].  Eliminate them all!

When: Mid-Late game.

How to:  Go to the road, fight the large group fighting and kill them all.
I find the group is either going to be the north end of the temple to across the
bridge or near the southern house.


********************************************************
Run for you Life!
********************************************************

Description:  You must compete against Kiyonari in a race.  Go through the main
gate, followed by the outer gate, then return to the starting point through
the rear gate.  The first one back wins.

When: Late game.

How to:  A simple race, you're much faster then Kiyonari unless you're a female
NPC with the slower run animation.  It'll give check points as you pass gates
for
both you and Kiyonari, just get back to the start point and it should instantly
bring up the mission complete message.


********************************************************
The Homeless Mighty God!
********************************************************

Description:  Tonight is the night to kill Joji of Ouka Clan, a.k.a. the
"Homeless Mighty God".  Kiyonari's men will lure and corner him.  Proceed to
[Kuchihagahara] and finish him.

When: 1st you must have max trust with Kiyonari meaning after a job you get 600
yen.  After the Nobunaga Event she should offer this mission.

How to:  When you get to Kuchihagahara there will be 4 armoured Fujimori guards
there right beside the northern save point.  Speak with them and kill/ KO them.


********************************************************
Rise of Fujimori Samurai!
********************************************************

Description: Defeat 100 Ouka Clan members found in [Kuchihagahara].  Complete
the job and you'll be recognized as a Fujimori samurai.

When: Redemption mission, before Nobunaga event.

How to: Go to Kuchihagahara and get killing, they'll just keep coming.


********************************************************
The Lone Guard!
********************************************************

Description: Serve as a Rear Guard at the [Road] to help the Fujimori samurai
retreat.  Stop 100 Ouka Clan members with everything you have.  Success in this
job will remove your stigma.

When: Redemption mission, after Nobunaga event.

How to: Go to the Road and get killing, they'll just keep coming.







*********************************************************************
Job Leader Joji                                            [jobsjoji]
*********************************************************************
Joji is the Ouka Clan Job dealer, so he's in Minori.  Most of his jobs are about
Ouka clan's power or pride.



********************************************************
Ouka's Pride!
********************************************************

Description: Threaten a commoner who's been disrespecting Ouka Clan.  Show him
what it means to be degraded.  Draw a wepaon to scare him.  The target is at the
[Guard Gate].

When: 1st mission, so early.

How to:  His name will be cocky Bastard, a villager skin with a green shirt.
I tend to find him along the side's of walls thoughout the guard gate area, it
may just be me but I do find he tends to be around the middle.  You can talk to
him and he'll start trying to kick you so I'd suggest just start attacking him.

I don't recommend drawing your sword unless you're on IK and can KO him in a
single shot just start kicking while your sword is on blunt mode.  If you wait
between kicks he'll eventually start bowing saying he won't disrespect Ouka
again... or you can just kick him until he's knocked out.

Also if you kill him you fail automatically.


********************************************************
Genjuro!
********************************************************

Description: Ouka Clan's beloved dog, Genjuro, hasn't returned from his walk
yet.  Find the dog and bring him back.  Get some tips from Joji on the dog's
location.

When: Early game.

How to:  Like the offical description says the 1st thing you want to do is speak
with Joji he'll say that the dog was seen in an area nieghboring on of the 8
other location.  For example as I write this Joji said an area neighboring the
posting station, meaning the dog is either in Guard Gate or Takatane.

When you go to one of the areas try to quick travel, if it doesn't let you
saying to walk on your own the dog is in that area... if you can quick travel go
to another area and try again.

When you find the area just look around for the dog, he isn't that hard to spot
as he is a dog, when you find him just tell him to go home.


********************************************************
Apologies!
********************************************************

Description: It's an honorable job to apologize for the misconduct caused in
[Omiki Town] by a member of Ouka Clan.  Go and do your duty.

When: Mid game.

How to:  Pretty simple, just go to the area speak with her and apology until you
complete the mission, she might kick you a bit but just keep the button pressed.

Depending on the conversation choices you can also give her money instead, she
took 50 yen for me to complete the mission.

Only issue is finding the women, in my experience I've found her away from the
main street either on the east, north or west sides of the map, but she
shouldn't be hard to find since you can see thought bubbles when you start to
get close to her.


********************************************************
Hostage!
********************************************************

Description: A member of Ouka Clan is being held hostage by Fujimori's men.
They are in [Kuchihagahara].  Go and rescue him.

When: Mid game.

How to:  This job needs to be done fast, when you enter the area you'll start
to be messages about how the hostage is doing, and he will die in a few short
minutes.

I'd suggest from the entrance that leads to Minori go east along the path making
sure he isn't in the northern part of the map then going clockwise around the
map.  If you don't find him quick you may want to leave and try again.


********************************************************
Desperate Need for Help!
********************************************************

Description: Fujimori's men made an accusation on a member of Ouka Clan and
confiscated his Small Box that was a memento of his mother.  Return the Small
Box kept inside the [Guard Gate].

When: Mid game.

How to:  You're looking for the cat "Whiskers".  When you get close he'll start
to run away, you have to bump the cat several times to get it to calm down,
once calm you need to give the cat the dried fish Joji gave you and it's
accept the mission to retrieve the box.  The cat then goes to get the box and
will return with it.

After the mission you can send whiskers back to get random items... I've never
found anything worthwhile but if you do contact me to let me know.


********************************************************
Ouka's Territory!
********************************************************

Description: A fight between a group of outcasts and Fujimori Clan is intruding
on Ouka Clan's territory, [Road].  In the name of Ouka, go and get rid of all
of them.

When: Mid game.

How to: Another just kill everyone mission, the group can be anywhere but
generally cause of the number of them they won't be hard to find, so find them
and kill them all.


********************************************************
Our Genjuro!
********************************************************

Description: Genjuro is missing again! It seems he was caught by a Fujimori
samurai in [Kuchihagahara].  Defeat the samurai and rescue our Genjuro.

When: Mid game.

How to: You're looking for a Fujimori Vassel named "Dog Thief", he's normally
in the middle area for me.  You ultimately have to defeat him, what makes this
mission somewhat annoying is Genjuro the dog will start to attack you which
interrupts moves.  You can't really do anything about Genjuro attacking you so
just focus on killing the thief and Genjuro will do home after you kill him.


********************************************************
Fearless Bandits!
********************************************************

Description: Eliminate 3 men who became thieves without Joji's permission and
make an example out of them.  The trailtors are hiding in [Castle Amana].

When: Mid-Late game.

How to: So there will be 3 Ouka members somewhere near the castle, named thief.
They won't be inside the castle but they will be inside the castle grounds. When
found you can speak to them or just start attacking them, you are required to
kill them all.

Now during the fight they'll randomly use one item they have stolen.  For
example they may use a rice ball, but it may turn it to be a rotten rice ball.
They've also used chick cakes that restore a lot of their health, so some of the
battles can last a long time.  Comically I've also seen one try to use a chick
cake and eat a tea cup instead, reducing his health by a lot.

If you don't want to piss off Fujimori clan you likely won't want to draw your
blade near their guards, if one of your targets is near a guard or two what I've
done is speak with the theif so he'll draw on me and get near the guard.  The
guard will try to kill the thief, depending on what item the thief uses the
 guard may win but likely will die allowing you to kill the thief without the
guard trying to attack you.


********************************************************
Shameful Fun!
********************************************************

Description: In order to strengthen the power of Ouka Clan, execute Shameful
Slash on every woman gathered together in [Kuchihagahara].  Old ladies have
nothing to do with this.

When: Late game.

How to: I hate this job.  By far this is the most annoying job in the game.
In Kuchihagahara there will be 8 women you need to do a shameful slash on,
however if you injury ONE of them you instantly fail the mission.

If you don't know to do a shameful slash you must only hit the bottom half of a
women, her dress will rip and she'll be left with a mini-skirt.

I suggest using a draw stance weapon's basic Square move.  I've had the most
success with it.  Just be to the right of the women and you should get the
slash.
What you need to be career is that your blade will only hit one person.

Ultimately I suggest never doing this mission, not only is it really annoying
but
every shameful slash you perform will count as a Hi Do meaning it's -400 Samurai
points every time you succeed at this mission.


********************************************************
Assassinate the Assassin!
********************************************************

Description:  Someone is planning your assassination! According to reliable
sources, the assassin will be in [Kuchihagahara] tonight.  Go there and
assassinate the killer.

When: 1st you must have max trust with Joji meaning after a job you get 600 yen.
After the Nobunaga Event she should offer this mission.

How to:  Ah poor conflicted Joji, he's appear in the southern area, right next
to that grey-ish circle on the local map.  Speak with him, and ultimately kill
him.  He'll drop a golden egg along with the unique to him weapon Ippatsumaru,
so
be sure to pick up that weapon for your collection.


********************************************************
Slaughter in Kuchihagahara!
********************************************************

Description: Fujimori warriors are participating in a training exercise.
Proceed
to [Kuchihagahara] and defeat 100 of them to earn respect.

When: Redemption mission, before Nobunaga event.

How to: Go to Kuchihagahara and get killing, they'll just keep coming.

the south-western house.

Where: Old Lady in the middle of the road area beside the big bell.

Requires Partner: No

very left hand side in the red area.  If you get it perfect the score will be
100, if not be sure to be in the red area.  If you get a good score the 1st few
times you can get a few more attempts but that requires pretty much each attempt
to be 100.

Sword Overview                                         [swordoverview]
**********************************************************************

Below are locations where I have found all 102 swords in the game, and what
difficulty I found them on.  I've decided to adds stats for all sword... this
information was found on the japenese wiki site: http://wikis.jp/samurai3/

I doubt any of the info is wrong from that site however, if you believe
something
is wrong e-mail me to let me know exactly what it is.  Beyond the basic stats
I'm going to give a very general description of what the sword looks like so you
have an idea if your target is carrying the sword you want.

If a sword is rare and you want it, check the person, if they don't have it
leave the area they're in and come back as every time you enter and exit an area
they may change swords.

Parts Overview                                    [Parts-overview]
******************************************************************

Below are the basic stats for just about every part in the game, I have no idea
how many I'm missing as there is no full list in game.  Some of the parts lack
where I found them as I got them before I started this guide, so if you find
them or parts I don't have in this list please contribute.

So what I've detailed is a basic description to give you an idea of what your
final sword will look like, the range of all 6 main stats I've found and how/
where I've found the part.

For the locations difficulty matter but again I'm one man so parts might be
found on different difficulties as well the basic 6 stats will vary, I've only
included what I've found myself.  On that note, please don't contact me if
you've found parts to have slightly different stats then I've listed unless it's
a huge difference, as in 20+.

Questions                                             [guidequestions]
**********************************************************************

Below are some question I have been asked or ones that I feel deserved to be
answered in FAQ form.  If you have anything to add or think something should be
added to this section let me know, I'm more then willing to expand it.


General
************************

Q)  Should I play this?

A)  The way of the samurai series is a unique type of game, so ultimately I
don't
have anything to compare it to.  If you've played wots1 or 2 and enjoyed it I
can't imagine you not enjoying this game.  Otherwise you might want to try to
rent it, though with all you can do in this game it's the type of game you want
to buy not rent if you enjoy it.


Q)  How do I unlock all moves for all the stances?

A)  Each sword has at least a single unique move so you will need all 102 sword
to master all 750ish skills.  When you have all the sword you'll need money or
lots of time, I'd suggest trying to get over 100,000 yen.  Finally for greater
speed I suggest getting the partner Yukino to live with you.

With all the above done grab 3 swords you want to master and on day 5 in the
west
side posting station shop you can buy all 3 types of scrolls that let you learn
moves (basic, advance and special) so get a full set of each and set them to you
quick item menu.  Then you hit left, right and up on the d-pad to start to learn
all the moves, when you can't learn any more hit down on the d-pad to select the
next sword and do the same, buying more scrolls when needed.

When you're done with your 1st 3 weapons speak with Yukino to access the sword
safe to get 3 more swords and repeat until you run out of money, at which point
you'll want to kill the merchant to get your money back then exit Amana.  Repeat
as many times as you need to master all swords.

As I said above money or time is needed to master swords, if you prefer you can
just keep using every sword in the game until it's mastered... but that will
take likely hundreds of hours.


Q)  How to earn trust?

A)  There are many different people you can earn trust for, some people need to
trust you for endings and job brokers give different jobs when they trust you
more, as well if you're trusted by a faction they'll greet you when they see
you.
For the job brokers trust is simple, just do jobs.  How much they trust you is
shown by how much you get per job.  At the max per job 600 yen, you're either at
max trust or right next to it.

For people trust in earned in different ways, but most of the time it's speaking
with them/ answering questions or doing inklings with them involved.  For any of
them involing endings you'll know you have enough trust built with the person if
they say your name as you walk by... or at least react saying something.


Q)  How do I get partners to live with me?

A)  The 1st thing you'll need to do is build up max trust, this is done is two
ways, either do lots of jobs with them (partner jobs are best) or speak with
them
selecting the 1st option each time you change areas, this will need to be done
about 20-30 times to get to max trust.  Once you have enough trust take them to
your house and when inside speak with them, if you have enough trust a new
option
will appear asking them to live with you.


Q)  What is the best weapon in the game?

A)  There isn't a "best" weapon and I'd argue that any weapon can be the best if
you like using it.  I don't plan on rating weapons so if you want a good idea of
what weapons are good, check out Pang Tong's guide, he has ratings that can give
a good idea.

I will say that having a weight of 0 on a weapon is best, if a weapon has a
weight of 2+ chances are all of your combos will be blocked after the 1st attack
hits... if it hits.  This is why fast swords are generally better but again if
you can use a sword with a high weight well do so, it's all up to you.


Q)  What's the best way to get Golden eggs?

A)  The merchant in Takatane will sell them for 6000 a piece on day 5, if you
don't have a lot of money there are several quest you can only do once per
playthough that give them starting with getting the Dojima brothers back
together
which gives you two of them (1 for each of them).  Challenging and beating
everyone at the Dojo gives you one (use blunt attacks).  If you want more per
playthough villagers rarely carry them, so doing the redemption missions for
Omiki can get you several if you're lucky.


Money
************************

Q)  What the fastest way to earn money?

A)  In the beginning likely the fastest/easiest way is becoming the head of Ouka
clan and demanding money from Joji.  That is killing Genjuro, an event will
happen where they all bow to you, from there Joji will give you up to 1000 yen
a day.  I recommend just going for 500 a day so he doesn't leave the clan and
cut
you off.

I really didn't get a lot of money this way myself, I just did the side jobs for
the side factions again and again.  If you're looking to get a lot of money
quickly Oryo's mission's are generally fast and easy and will earn you a lot
imo.
Of course you can do both at the same time, but money just takes time to earn.

Once you have about 50-60,000 you'll likely want a partner that will raise your
money by 3% some of the time.  Kana, Misaki, Yukino, Yuzu, Momiji and Minamo all
will do this without taking money away.  Some of them do other negatives
involving food or weapons though.


Q)  How can I avoid pick pockets?

A)  1st there are two different ones, a girl and a ronin in a blue outfit with
the Furoshiki accessory (a blue sash across the chest).

The girl is easy to deal with as once she bumps you it lets you know how much
she
stole, so just speak to her and select the number that she stole to get it back.

The reason for this question is the ronin pick pocket, he can be really annoying
as he takes a good % of your money.  The best way to avoid him getting your
money is to be aware of him, not all blue ronin will be pickpockets but if you
get close he'll start chasing you, at this point I'd suggest one of two things:
1) draw your sword, it'll make him draw his and you fight.  2) Exit the area,
either running away from him or quick traveling to another location.

If he does manage to get your money quickly hit him to again make him fight you.
This attack can be a simple kick, you don't need to draw your sword, he will run
away really fast so be quick about it.


Q)  When can I buy the best item in the stores?

A)  They're pretty much all avaiable on day 5.

In Omiki Town you can get Ginsing, chick cakes and chicken cakes.  In Takatane
you can get Golden Eggs and jumbo radishes. In the posting station you can get
every type of scroll.

The only other item you might want to be buying is arcane potions that are
from the Fabled merchant, and it's not linked to days just gotta get him to show
up.


Q)  How do I get the Fabled Merchant to show up?

A)  He shows up based on the number of Inklings you've done so every 3 events
he should show up near the waterfall at the road.  If you're not sure how many
inklings you've done just do one, go to the road and if he isn't there repeat
until he is.


Upgrades
************************


Q)  What should I select when I upgrade?

A)  Random, upgrade 1 quality at a time and aim for a minimum total increase to
keep.  If what he does doesn't meet your standards just re-forge until it does.
I do agree with Pang Tong's guide of about +20 overall stat increase, personally
I don't have a problem with a +17 if it's +15 attack and +2 defense... so
ultimately it's up to your own play style.


Q)  What affects upgrades?

A)  This is something I experimented with.  Would having the village the
blacksmith is in liking you help your odds of getting good results on upgrades?
Ultimately I tested several ideas, getting 600 yen a job in Takatane, getting
the Dojima brother back together and finally I decided what about weapon level
and got a weapon to lvl 50 before doing a single upgrade.

I'll list my exact results but in the end nothing really helped, if fact doing
nothing got the best results so ultimately if you want to upgrade a sword, I'd
suggest starting on IK upgrading at either blacksmith until your weapon is maxed
or you run out of money and kill the blacksmith to get your money back.

The table below is my results, I used the same weapon, select random upgrade
with 99,999 money and keep selecting re-forge until I ran out of money.  This
means I tried 199 times each run, recording whenever the result was above 15.

For my results I've made a somewhat bad table:

Total increase       16-19            20-24            25-29

Nothing done           5                5                4

600 yen jobs 1         3                1                0

600 yen jobs 2         9                1                2

600 + brothers         8                3                2
together

level 50 weapon       10                4                2


As you can see, maybe something affects how likely you are to get good upgrades
but imo there really isn't anything you can do, so just keep trying.


Q)  Is defense pointful?

A)  This question comes mainly from people who have played the game for a long
time and have max HP (9999) and most if not all skills matched.  At that point
few attacks will hurt you and the ones that do will do little damage.  So at
that
point I could accept not bothering with defense, however if you haven't matched
most of the moves with 9999 HP the slight more attack you can get with just
upgrading attack isn't worth it imo.


Q)  What do I get by leveling weapons?

A)  Nothing until you hit the max level of 50.  At that point that weapon cannot
cannot be destroyed and doesn't generate heat.  If you dual weild with another
weapon neither will generate heat.


Q)  What's the best way to gain experience for a weapon?

A)  You gain experience for two things, killing and hitting people.  Killing
gains you 10 exp, and hitting someone gives 5 (1 if they block).  So what you
want to do to quickly gain experience is not use instant kills and just use
basic attacks unitl they die.  So if you hit someone 3 times and they die on the
3rd, you'll gain 20 exp, 10 for the 1st two hits and 10 for the kill hit.

Doing redemption missions and just using the basic square attack I genearlly
gain
about 2000-3000 exp per run.


Jobs
************************

Q)  How should I search for something/someone?

A)  I always recommend coming up with a plan, either going north to south/ east
to west or in from the outside in.

What I mean is in a place like Takatane where it's really open, I find it's best
to just start at the northern tip near Dojima and start to search going east to
west as you make your way south.  In the castles, Minori or Amana it's sometimes
best to search in circles, so start on the outside and then work your way in.

Either way when searching remember 99% of the time what you're looking for will
be right beside a wall or the side of a building.
