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.

********************************************************************** Ending overview [ending00] ********************************************************************** 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.

My Method: 1) Kuchihagahara - auto -"I've been better" 2) Takatane - Kota -"Calm down, kid." 3) Road - Ouka thugs -"Stealing is bad, you know." -Speak to Yuma, select "I have a grudge..." 4) Minori - Guard Leader -"I was approached by..." 5) Road - Setsuen -Speak to him after 6) Road - Setsuen -Speak to him after say "I'd love to!" 7) Minori at night - Itsuse 8) Minori - Auto (party) -speak to Itsuse select "No interested." 9) Minori - Genjuro -"Sure, what do you need?" -Speak to him after for reward and thanks 10) Road at night - Setsuen -Speak to him after select "Loud and clear! ..." 11) Minori - Yuma 12) Takatane - Kota -"You're pretty good." 13) Minori - Genjuro -"Got it, brother!" -Nobunaga Event- 14) Minori - Genjuro -"We can't let you run away!" if you want to kill Genjuro or "Leave it to us!" if you're willing to let him live Fight to your death ********************************************************************** Ending 18 - With Matsuzaki [ending18] ********************************************************************** Basic: Have Genjruo like you, this is done by events and also speaking with him. I'm not listing what you need to say cause most of the time it should be clear what option to pick. My Method: 1) Kuchihagahara - auto -"I've been better" 2) Takatane - Kota -"Calm down, kid." 3) Road - Ouka thugs -"Stealing is bad, you know." -Speak to Yuma, select "I have a grudge..." 4) Minori - Guard Leader -"I was approached by..." 5) Road - Setsuen -Speak to him after 6) Road - Setsuen -Speak to him after say "I'd love to!" 7) Minori at night - Itsuse 8) Minori - Auto (party) -speak to Itsuse select "No interested." 9) Minori - Genjuro -"Sure, what do you need?" -Speak to him after for reward and thanks 10) Road at night - Setsuen -Speak to him after select "Loud and clear! ..." 11) Minori - Yuma -Note before the next event you must get Genjuro to max affection- 12) Takatane - Kota -"You're pretty good." 13) Minori - Genjuro -"Got it, brother!" -Nobunaga Event- 14) Minori - Genjuro -"Then, I'll go with you." ********************************************************************** Ending 19 - With Itsuse [ending19] ********************************************************************** Basic: Gain Itsuse's trust by dueling her/ answering question and then agree to try to kill Shuzen with her. I've found that apart from Inklings you never need to answer her question, if you duel her 2-3 times she'll be at max affection. My Method: 1) Kuchihagahara - auto -"I've been better" 2) Takatane - Kota -"Calm down, kid." 3) Road - Ouka thugs -"Stealing is bad, you know." -Speak to Yuma, select "I have a grudge..." 4) Minori - Guard Leader -"I was approached by..." 5) Road - Setsuen -Speak to him after 6) Road - Setsuen -Speak to him after say "I'd love to!" 7) Minori at night - Itsuse 8) Minori - Auto (party) -speak to Itsuse select "No interested." 9) Minori - Genjuro -"Sure, what do you need?" -Speak to him after for reward and thanks 10) Road at night - Setsuen -Speak to him after select "Loud and clear! ..." 11) Minori - Yuma -Note before the next event must get Itsuse to max affection- 12) Takatane - Kota -"You're pretty good." 13) Minori - Itsuse -"How would I know..." -Nobunaga Event- 14) Minori - Itsuse -"I'm with you, until the end." 15) Amana -fight and kill Shuzen ********************************************************************** Ending 20 - Senseless Person [ending20] ********************************************************************** 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 during the scene with Osei and Shinnosuke and then leave without killing Shinnosuke. If you do kill him another event will likely take place, just draw your sword again at the start of that event. My Method: 1) Kuchihagahara - auto -"I've been better" 2) Takatane - Kota -"Calm down, kid" 3) Amana - Recruiter -"Yes, I have..." -win the tournement 4) Minori - Guard Leader -"Why don't ..." 5) Road - Setsuen -Speak to him after the event 6) Minori - Yuma -"You're working..." -Speak after ask "Brother and Father?" -Note do not return to Castle Minori or an auto event will occur- 7) Kuchihagahara - Yuma and Shinnosuke fight 8) Kuchihagahara at night - Shinnosuke and Osei 9) Kuchihagahara at night - Shinnosuke -"Sakura...

That's..." -Move anywhere else ********************************************************************** Ending 21 - Undercover [ending21] ********************************************************************** Basic: Gain Setsuen's trust by doing all his events and speaking with him after, then agree to assassinate Shuzen for him. Note that only events 5, 6, 10 and 13 are need for the ending, which are the only inklings that appear on the road beyond the ouka thugs bugging the merchants right at the beginning. My Method: 1) Kuchihagahara - auto -"I've been better" 2) Takatane - Kota -"Calm down, kid." 3) Road - Ouka thugs -"Stealing is bad, you know." -Speak to Yuma, select "I have a grudge..." 4) Minori - Guard Leader -"I was approached by..." 5) Road - Setsuen -Speak to him after 6) Road - Setsuen -Speak to him after say "I'd love to!" 7) Minori at night - Itsuse 8) Minori - Auto (party) -speak to Itsuse select "No interested." 9) Minori - Genjuro -"Sure, what do you need?" -Speak to him after for reward and thanks 10) Road at night - Setsuen -Speak to him after select "Loud and clear! ..." 11) Minori - Yuma 12) Takatane - Kota -"You're pretty good." 13) Road at night - Zaji -After fight "What did you do..." -Nobunaga Event- 14) Road at Night - Setseun -"You've found your man." 15) Amana - Shuzen -End his life and this ending is yours. ********************************************************************** 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. ********************************************************************** Title Overview [title00] ********************************************************************** Below are all 50 titles, their offical descriptions, if they require an ending to complete and my tips/ method to get them. If a title does not require an ending you will be able to see the title under your profile in the menu. As well if you want to know your progress towards almost all titles just save then leave Amana and at the 2nd screen it has stats for all the titles. If you have methods to get a title easier then I have listed please do contact me, just be sure to be detailed. If you're going to be contacting me about anything involving samurai rank be sure to include what difficultly you played on. ********************************************************************** Title: Title King [title01] ********************************************************************** Description: Congratulations! You have obtained all the Samurai Titles. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: You have to collect all 49 other titles and finish the game again in any way, so you can get your last title, re-enter Amana and simple leave for this title. ********************************************************************** Title: Samurai 4EvR! [title02] ********************************************************************** Description: [Samurai Rank] exceeded 120%. Requires Ending: Yes Tips to get: Several ending can give you the max samurai rank of 120%, Ending 2 seems to always gives it. I have also gotten this with ending 1, 3 and 5 on hard. ********************************************************************** Title: Impatient Samurai [title03] ********************************************************************** Description: Cleared the game within an hour. Requires Ending: Yes Tips to get: This is a title you're get when you don't want to get while trying for other titles. ********************************************************************** Title: Martial Artist [title04] ********************************************************************** Description: Bare Hands Rate reached 100%. Requires Ending: Yes Tips to get: Play on easy, Bare hand attacks are weak so you'll likely want a non-combat ending although with enough HP on easy any ending is possible. ********************************************************************** Title: Sexy Samurai [title05] ********************************************************************** 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%. ********************************************************************** Title: Grim Reaper [title06] ********************************************************************** Description: Killed all the people in Amana. Kill Rate reached 100%. Requires Ending: Yes Tips to get: Exact method is listed above with ending 22, kill rate only counts static NPC so those that are always in an area day or night. ********************************************************************** Title: Harmless Samurai [title07] ********************************************************************** Description: Cleared the game without killing anyone. Requires Ending: Yes Tips to get: Use blunt attacks all the time, only one ending requires you to kill so just avoid helping Princess Araragi. ********************************************************************** Title: Holy Samurai [title08] ********************************************************************** Description: Cleared the game with a total HP loss of less than 100. Requires Ending: Yes Tips to get: This cannot be done on instant kill so play on easy, avoid combat, save before every battle you choice/need to get in. I did ending 14 for this. ********************************************************************** Title: Samurai Pimp [title09] ********************************************************************** Description: Became Partners with more than 10 people. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Unlike Sexy Samurai you don't need/ want to gain affection from your partners so just partner with someone and ask them to leave and keep going until you have gotten 10 of them. ********************************************************************** Title: Blessed Samurai [title10] ********************************************************************** Description: Cleared the game with a total HP loss of less than 1000. Requires Ending: Yes Tips to get: Same as Holy Samurai, just remember you do have to loss 100 HP to avoid getting Holy Samurai. ********************************************************************** Title: Executioner [title11] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of Instant Kills exceeded 100. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Simplest way would be to piss off one of the four factions, get into one of the redemption missions and use instant kills to kill them all. ********************************************************************** Title: Annihilator [title12] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of Kills exceeded 1000. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Ten redemption missions in a row will do, piss of Ouka clan or Fujimori take the redemption mission then take the redemption mission of the other faction, just don't use instant kills or you'll end up with executioner. ********************************************************************** Title: Merchant [title13] ********************************************************************** Description: Total amount of monetary transactions exceeded 10,000 Yen. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Over all shops except the blacksmiths spend at least 10,000 yen. ********************************************************************** Title: Slayer [title14] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of Kills exceeded 300.

Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Not hard to get, just use blunt attacks 30 doesn't take too long. Just kill one person to avoid Harmless Samurai. ********************************************************************** Title: Naughty Samurai [title16] ********************************************************************** 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: Vegetarian [title17] ********************************************************************** Description: Used only vegetables to restore health, and the rate of Vegetables Consumed reached 100%. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Eat a radish and leave Amana. ********************************************************************** Title: Riceaholic [title18] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of Rice Balls consumed exceeded 50. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: From the start select the 3rd option and start using rice balls. You can buy more from the store in Omiki, so just keep getting beat up and using rice balls until you get to 50. ********************************************************************** Title: Insomniac [title19] ********************************************************************** Description: Cleared the game without sleeping. Requires Ending: Yes Tips to get: Just don't sleep. If you need time to pass in game either leave the game running, do some side mission to pass the time or simple quick travel between areas. 1 hour passes when you travel between the road and Omiki town. ********************************************************************** 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. ********************************************************************** Title: Disturbed Samurai [title21] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of dead bodies kicked exceeded 150. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Kill someone and kill their corpse a lot. ********************************************************************** Title: Sword Artist [title22] ********************************************************************** 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. ********************************************************************** Title: Sword Maniac [title24] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of weapons appraised exceeded 15. 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. ********************************************************************** Title: Workaholic [title25] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of successful jobs exceeded 20. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Easy to do, just keep doing jobs from any of the 4 job brokers. ********************************************************************** Title: Sorry Samurai [title26] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of times apologized exceeded 100. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: You don't have to be near anyone while doing this, just start 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 Tips to get: If you didn't know the Dojo is at the Guard Gate, it has 3 levels with 3 different people. Kill them all and leave Amana. ********************************************************************** Title: Troublemaker [title28] ********************************************************************** 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. ********************************************************************** Title: Angry Samurai [title30] ********************************************************************** 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. ********************************************************************** Title: Osei Lover [title32] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of collisions with Osei exceeded 50. Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Just keep bumping into Osei till you get to 50. ********************************************************************** Title: Itsuse Lover [title33] ********************************************************************** Description: Total number of collisions with Itsuse exceeded 50.

Requires Ending: No Tips to get: Ending 20 on hard got me this. Also doing ending 1 right at the end I got the teacher title, the only way to keep it was being killed though. Likely there are other events that can get you the 70% before the point of no return. ********************************************************************** Title: Apprentice [title44] ********************************************************************** Description: [Samurai Rank] exceeded 60%.

Takatane **************************** -Top of the large building just south of the river mid map -Roof of the shop, western side -Most north-western point near the fisherman that sometimes appears there -Right near Misae -Outside the entrance to Dojima's place Omiki **************************** -In front of the building in the north-western corner of the map -On top of the lamppost just east of the bridge in the middle of the map -On the house across from Oryo the job broker on the western awning Amana **************************** -To the left of the job broker Kiyonari on the ledge of the stairs -To the east of the stairs that are south of the main building, right beside the well Road **************************** -Inside the main temple building in the middle -At the south-western entrance to the temple grounds on the railing -Outside the main temple on the rocks ********************************************************************* 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. ******************************************************** Ouka Clan Honor! ******************************************************** Description: A Fujimori brigade is assembled on the [Road]. Eliminate them in honor of Ouka Clan, and regain trust from their members. When: Redemption mission, after Nobunaga event. How to: Go to the road and get killing, they'll just keep coming. ********************************************************************* Other jobs [jobsother] ********************************************************************* There are people who will offer a single job some of the time. They can be done anytime during the day, so instead of a when I have a where to find the person who offers the job, as well some of the jobs require you to have a partner with you so I've noted that as well. Like the job brokers their name tags will be purple to let you know they offer a job. ******************************************************** Rice Pounding ******************************************************** Description: Use the left strike to strike down and circle, X, Square, triangle for your partner to flip the rice. Press the correct button or direction at the right time as they appear on the bottom of the screen. Pound the rice 30 times within the time limit. Where: Old Man in Takatane, north of the only save Biwa player. Wiseman at northern area in Guard Gate. Requires Partner: Yes How to: Description really says it all, just try to hit the button required when it reaches the red line. ******************************************************** Swordplay Theater ******************************************************** Description: Move the Left and Right Stick inward in sync with your partner's strike. Perform the controls at the right time to succeed and earn money. You will take damage if you make a mistake. The game will end if your HP reaches zero. The challenge will end after five tries Where: Buddy in the middle of Posting station. As well Fujimori Servent at the Road. Requires Partner: Yes How to: The timing can be difficult at 1st but your partner does hint when they're going to strike. Each time the partner hits you instead of you catching the sword you'll take about 250 damage. ******************************************************** Vegetable Cutting ******************************************************** Description: Cut the vegtables thrown at you. Cutting something that is not a vegetable will decrease the durability of your weapon. You will also take damage for getting hit by a non-vegetable item, so make sure to avoid them with the Left stick. The game will end if your HP reaches zero. Where: Housewife, field just north of Munechika's house. Chef in Minori, the the south-western house. Requires Partner: No How to: You have to time it so the vegetables will be cut when you slice... it can take practice.

Be aware that both sides must be equally cut. Reward will change depending on time taken. Where: Septiego, just south of the eastern gate.

Press X when the cursor is at the leftmost position to ring the bell. Ring the bell well will gather more people and increase your reward. Where: Old Lady in the middle of the road area beside the big bell. Requires Partner: No How to: Looking at the gauge at the bottom you want to hit X when it's at the 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.

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+.

********************************************************************** 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. ********************************************************************** Update History [guide01] ********************************************************************** Version 1.11 January 17th, 2010 -Added lots of info in the swords section -As per several requests added a partner section -added two question I forgot in my initial question section Version 1.01 December 18th, 2009 -Jobs section added as well as a FAQ section. -Additional info for endings 2, 22 Version 0.80 December 8th, 2009 -Initial release, only other planned section is for jobs ********************************************************************** Thanks and Credit [guide02] ********************************************************************** Well I do want to 1st give thanks to Mwulf, the FAQ he made greatly helped me in getting the ending way back when I first got the game, so ultimatlely some of my endings come from strageties I got from his FAQ.
