1.Magic items:
--------------
HERB:
These plants a common and will restore half of your vitality when
used.They are found in normal chests or growing in the ground.Although
they are useful still they are not strong.Save up on herbs to get
medicines.
MEDICINE:
Medicines are not as common as herbs because they restore all of your
vitality.Instead of using herbs you can enhance them into medicines with
about 1,000 red souls.Only use medicines when against bosses and save
plenty for the final boss.
FLUORITE:
These mysterious stones are dotted along Nanamagari and are
invisible.There are about 20 and if you finish the game with all of the
in your inventory a secret will be your reward.
TALISMAN:
This items is very helpful but also extremely rare.In fact there are
only two in the whole game,they are found in the Dark Realm and the East
Area.If you have one in your inventory when you die not only will come
back to life but your vitality will be completely restored.
POWER & MAGIC JEWELS:
These two items are essential and are dotted around the place.They are
either dropped by soldiers,found in Quiz Chests or in normal
chests.Power jewels increases your vitality gauge while magic jewels
increase your magic gauge.
SOUL ABSORBERS:
These items are very powerful.When used it creates a large circle
which kills everything inside it instantly so you can absorb the demons
souls.Like the talisman there is only two in the whole game.One is found
in the West Area and another is found in the Dark Realm.The last one is
found on top of the Tall Building in the East Area.
SHINDEN:
This orb creates the Raizan.It is the most powerful magic attack in the
game.When you use it Samanouske will automatically slash an enemy with
repeatable lightning slashes,sometimes even incinerating the enemy.It
will open up doors with thunder(blue)crystals.
KOUEN:
This is the second most powerful attack.The orb itself creates the
Enryuu.Unlike the Shinden it will use magic even if you are not fighting
an enemy.When you use it a flame will come out of the sword & set
anything it touches on fire.With this orb you can open doors with
fire(red) crystals.
ARASHI:
This orb forms the Shippuu.Although it is useful its magic is weak.When
you use it Samanouske spins the Shippuu around to form a tornado.It best
for hard reach enemies,some bosses and when your surrounded by a large
group of energy.Like the Kouen and Shiden it takes 2,000 red souls to
enhance it to lvl.2 and 4,000 red souls to enhance to lvl.3.You can use
this to open doors with tornado (green)crystals.
MAGIC POOL:
These are pools of water that help you recover magic.Whenever you are
low on magic they will throw blue spirits to fill your magic meter.There
are only 3 in the whole game:In the Sentry Box and the candle puzzle in
the Keep and the Demon World.They can be used over and over again.
SOUL STONE:
These are small orbs which contain 500 red souls.Like the Magic Pools
there are only 3 in the game but they can only be used once.They are
found in the 5th floor of the Keep,oppisite the West Area statue and the
East Area gardens.
GAUNTLET:
This strange item is a gift to you from the Clan of Ogres.It is capable
of taking the souls of demons when you kill them.You can enhance it by
collecting 20,000 souls and entering the enhance screen.Also to enhance
it again collect 50,000 souls and enter the enhance screen.
Special Items:
--------------
ROPE LADDER & WOODEN LADDERS:
A strong rope ladder made of cotton found in the Underground Temple
inside the Trick Treasure Chest.It is used to go down into the drained
moat on the west side of the keep.The wooden ladder is found in the
Underground Tunnel and is your only means to get to the Keep.
SHINOBI KIT:
This set of tools helps ninjas like Kaede open locked doors and disarm
traps.With this you can go through doors that Samanouske can not open.as
Kaede in the west and east areas.This will help you get the great bow
and will get you to the prison.
ROSARY OF COMMUNICATION:
This item is the most useless thing in the whole game.When you obtain it
in the Keep Underground you will be able to talk to the dead soldiers
lying around the keep.When you have it a soldiers "soul" will hover
above his body and you just have to press the X button.
PURIFIER BELL:
This bell is said to have the power to heal the tormented souls of the
dead.........It is found in the Keep Underground.
VISION STAFF:
This is found in the West Area and is a useful item if you are looking
for the fluorite pieces.It will make your search easier by making them
visible(as they will glow).
BISHAMON OCARNIA:
In the inventory in it says it will awaken a sword and that's exactly
what it will do.When you return from to the Keep from the Underground
Tunnel,go to the strange man in the Sentry Box.He will ask you to go to
the Dark Realm.If you do go and finish all 20 levels you will receive
the ocarina in a chest.
Specific items:
---------------
RIGHT & LEFT CREST PIECES:
To open the door on the 4th floor you must find these two pieces and
insert them into the "keyhole" of the door on the 4th floor of the
Keep.The right crest piece is in the Conference Room and the left piece
is in the Storage Room.
GEAR:
As Kaede you will need to find a key to the prison.Beside a dead guard
is the gear which you need to use in the West Area Library to open the
secret door.
GOLD,SILVER & EVIL PLATES:
When you are in the West Area as Kaede you will need the gold and silver
plates in order to enter the prison.The silver plate is in the West Area
Library and the gold plate is in the West Area Burner Building.Later on
as Samanouske you will find the Evil Plate in the Underground Tunnel.
STATUE HEAD:
As Samanouske finding this at the North Gate will let you open a closed
door in the West Area.After opening it you will find the Matchlock.
DECORATED SWORD & ARROW:
Although they sound like weapons they are actually keys because of their
thick decorations.The decorated sword is found at the North Gate and is
they key to the East Area where the decorated arrow is found in the East
Area and is essential for getting the Great Arrow.
GREAT BOW & ARROW:
These two items are found in the East Area and are essential items to
enter the Demon World.As Samanouske you will find the Great Bow in the
floating temple and as Kaede you'll find the Great Arrow in the Bishamon
Shrine.
RED,BLUE & GREEN KEYS:
These are special keys that open doors with coloured ink.There are 3
doors like this:the entrance to the West Area,the entrance to the
Underground Tunnel and the entrance to the Boatyard.As Samanouske you
will find the Blue Key in the Trick Treasure Chest in the Keep
Underground.As Kaede you will find the red key in the Keep,and the blue
key in the locked chest.
4.Weapons:
==========
NORMAL & BISHAMON SWORDS:
You start the game with the normal sword.It is pretty weak and as soon
as you get a better one you shouldn't use it again.The Bishamon Sword on
the other hand is the most powerful sword in the whole game and unlike
the normal sword it has a magic attack yet doesn't use any magic.It's
magic attack is very strong and the sword itself can kill most demons in
one hit although you get it just before the last boss.To get it you must
get the Bishamon Ocarina and use beside the Magic Pool in the Demon
Word.
RAIZAN,ENRYUU & SHIPPUU:
These are the 3 swords created by the Shinden,Kouen & Arashi.The Raizan
is very powerful and has strong magic attacks.It is also fast.The Enryuu
is the strongest sword but is quite slow and has medium magic attack.The
Shippuu is very fast but both its magic and its strength are weak.There
is no best sword between the 3 of them,just use your favourite.To
enhance all 3 of them to level 2 you need 3,000 red souls.To enhance
them to lvl.3 you need 6,000 red souls.
BOW:
The bow is a very useful weapons which can be used for killing arches or
any other hard to reach enemiesd.You can even you use it for bosses and
setting of mechanisms.Whatever you do with it watch your ammo because
there isn't much of it.You can enhance a normal arrow to a fire arrow
with 200 red souls.
MATCHLOCK:
This is the coolest weapon in the whole game but sadly you get it half-
way through the game which is such a shame.It is pretty powerful and
like the bow its versitile.It uses gunpowder and like the arrow there is
limited ammo.With 100 red souls you can change a bullet into a stronger
Burst Bullet which can hit multiple targets.
ARMOUR:
Armour is an essential item for Samanouske and can be the difference
between life and death.There are 3 types of armor:Normal,Holy,Great.
At the start of the game you have NORMAL ARMOR necause it is used by all
warriors.The HOLY ARMOUR is found in the 3rd floor of the keep.It offers
more protection and prevents Skull Demons from using their absorb
attack.The GREAT ARMOUR is found in the East Area in a trick treasure
chest and offers the most protection and like the HOLY ARMOUR it does
not let Skull Demons use their absorb attack on you.
NORMAL & SACRED KNIFES + KUNAI:
These are they 3 weapons that Kaede has.The normal knife is fast but
both weak and short,but the sacred knife is much stronger yet is weak
compared to Samanouske's swords.The kunai are weapons that Kaede can
throw at enemies and are best used against strong enemies.Kaedes weapons
are weak but unlike Samanouske she is very quick so here is a list of
moves.
CHOPPED LIVER: When attacking an enemy hold the R1 button and hit the
square button.
FROG LEAP: While attacking an enemy hold R1 and run towards the enemy
and keep hitting the square button.
DEEP THROAT:After jumping behind the enemy run up towards his back and
press the square button.
BACKFLIP:Hold R1 and press down on the D-pad.
5.Enemies:
==========
They are 4 classes of demons.Each class symbolises there strength,power
and how much souls they give out and size.All demons have a weak point
which means only one hit is required.This looks like a yellow streak and
happens when an enemy lets its guard down.I have weak points for some
enemies but I'll update it soon.
LOW CLASS DEMONS:
-----------------
These Demons are plentiful and are quite easy to kill and take out very
little damage from you.Although when groups of them attack with stronger
demons they can be pests.
_________________________________________________________________
SOLDIER DEMONS:
Moves:Stab,Slash,Demon Cry and Charge.
These are demons with bright red hats and wear green clothes.They seen
to be the remains of dead soldiers seeming as they are skeletons with
rotting flesh and blood.Their moves are weak except for slash,which can
take out some energy.They are common and don't give you much
souls.They're weak point is when they do Demon Cry just before the
charge at you.
_________________________________________________________________
BLADE DEMONS
Moves:Blade slash,Blade charge.
These three green-eyed freaks are very fast and powerful as their Blade
charge can take a lot of your energy away quickly.Because they are fast
they focus on the element of surprise and seem to pop out of
nowhere.Sometimes you can hear their two blades hitting each other
without even seeing each other.They are very common at first but after
playing as Kaede in the West Area they are never seen again.Their weak
point is straight away when they get up.
_________________________________________________________________
ARMIDILLO DEMONS:
Moves:Slash,Double slash, Demon Cry,Spike Roll
These demons are quite common and appear around The Keep Entrance the
Drained Moat and the South Area Bridge.They are small demons with a
small sword.They have bulky backs with spikes and small legs which makes
them slow.The only strong move they have is the spike roll which is also
their weak points.As soon as they start the Demon cry hold the L1 button
and before they hit you with the spike roll let go and press the square
button quickly.
_________________________________________________________________
HERCUBITES:
Moves:Bite
Hercubites or Beetle Demons are attack in groups and are usually
followed by much stronger demons.They have only one move which is quite
strong and can drain a lot of energy.They themselves are actually very
strong and it will take you a while to kill them even with a level 3
sword,but they are powerless against burst bullets and fire
arrows.They're weak point is when lunging themselves towards you to bite
you.
________________________________________________________________
SKULL DEMONS:
Move:Absorb,Vacum,Spin
Skull Demons are one of the most annoying enemies in the whole game
mainly because they steal the souls from any enemy that has just
died,with their vacuum attack.They are large clouds made up of many
skullsAlthough they're vacuum is bad it will multiply each soul they
steal by two.Their absorb attack is when they grab onto your gauntlet
and steal blue and red souls from it.Soon later they may become full of
souls that they may start to spin and soon disappear.This is their weak
point and they can be killed with anything.Getting your gauntlet
enhanced will mean that your "vacuum" will be much stronger.Also finding
the Holy Armour will prevent them from doing their absorb attack.
_________________________________________________________________
ARCHER DEMONS:
Move:Bow shot
Archer Demons can absolutely annoying because they choose to sit in very
high ground.Even though they're energy is extremely low they do give you
a lot of souls.Because they choose to attack you from high places the
best weapons to use are either the matchlock,wind attack or arrows.
__________________________________________________________________
VINE DEMONS:
Moves:None
These demons are basically plant-like demons that are extremely rare and
in fact have abousolutey no moves at all.They only thing they do is
block up passageways.Because they grow in groups they give tons of
souls.They can be killed with a strong sword.
==================================================
MIDDLE CLASS DEMONS:
--------------------
Middle class demons require a lot more than just running up to them and
hitting them over and over again(except if you're vitality bar is long
and you have a level 3 sword).They require running up to them,then move
back once they made a move and then hit a few times.Because they are
stronger they give a lot of souls.
_________________________________________________________________
SAMURAI DEMON:
Moves:Upward slash,Downward slash,Sword slash,Double slash,Choke,Block
Samurai demos are recognisable by their long arms,red armour and
distinctive growls.Their moves are quite strong but their most powerful
attack is the Choke where they pick you up from your neck and slowly
kill you.Although they are strong a level 3 lightning and fire attack
will incinerate them instantly in one go.Their block is powerful and if
it does occur that they block an attack the it'll slash you before you
can move.If you ever manage to be picked by their choke attack keep
pressing the square and circle buttons.
_________________________________________________________________
REYNALDO:
Moves:Slap,Tentacle tunnel,Tunnel slap,Grab + Stab
This freaky creature is Guildstern's newest creation which is difficult
in groups.It is wearing armour and has two tentacles instead of arms,has
large white eyes and a soft body which is the reason he is
annoying.Because of its soft body you can easily chop it in
half.Great!That is until both his legs and chest turns into two more
Reynaldo.Some of the Reynaldo's attacks are weak except the Grab and
Stab where he grabs you and hits you with two spikes on his back.His
annoying move is the Tunnel slap,where he puts his tentacle underground
and slaps you even if your nowhere near him.Even worse is the Tentacle
tunnel which is the same as tunnel slap except he holds onto your leg so
your stuck and you're an easy target for other enemies.
______________________________________________________________
NINJA DEMON:
Moves:Slash,Blade charge,Needle throw,Shadow leap,Needle Stab.
These are stronger versions of the blade demons as the have the same
moves(and a some more)but look different.They have three purple eyes,are
faster,have needles on their hands instead of blades and wear black
robes.Their most annoying yet weak attack is the Needle Throw.This is
where they throw sharp needles at you.The Shadow leap is cool but
definitely confusing as you don't know whether it'll jump above you or
stay in place.
_____________________________________________________________
MINOTAUR DEMON:
Moves:Axe swing,Axe swing combo,Downward Axe Swing,Slash,Double
Salsh,Block
These hefty brutes are bigger and faster than samurai demons.They carry
a big steel axe which takes out a lot of health.They are huge demons
with fur,two horns tipped with red and they usually block your attacks
and the give you a Downward Axe Swing.An Axe swing combo consists of a
downward axe swing and then an Axe swing.Usually it only takes one hit
from a lvl.3 magic attack to kill these quickly.
===============================================
HIGH CLASS DEMONS:
------------------
High Class Demons give more souls than middle class demons and are
harder to kill.Sometimes it may take 2 or 3 lightning attacks.There are
only 3 types of High Class Demons.
_________________________________________________________________
SHIELDED SAMURAI DEMON:
Moves:Exactly the same as the SAMURAI DEMON
This demon is exactly the same as the Samurai Demon except a few
things:it has a wooden shield(big deal!!!),it's darker(WOW!!!) and it is
stronger than the normal Samurai Demon(OH GOD NO!!!!!!!!!!!!)
_________________________________________________________________
STEALTH DEMONS:
Moves:Jump swipe,Swipe,Jump boomerang,Boomerang.
This Demon is an excellent hunter as it uses stealth(like the monster in
the film PREDATOR)in order to kill humans.It moves are a bit strong but
it is quite slow.When it uses stealth the outline of its body and its
footsteps are only visible until it jumps up into the air and shows
itself.If you manage to stab it while it is on the ground then it will
die instantly usually giving you lots of yellow souls.
_________________________________________________________________
TROLL DEMONS:
Moves:Downward Axe swing,Upwards axe swing.
These Demons are a light shade of green and are twice as strong and
harder versions of the Minotaur Demons and so may take either 2 or 3
lightning attacks.Not only that but because they have a bigger axe(I
mean huge)made of bronze(Bigger than the Minotaur Demons axe).It's best
to use magic only.
TOP CLASS DEMONS:

JOURNALS:
The Journals belong to Saimyou a monk who tells of his observations on

the topic.In the walkthrough I have called them scrolls.
1 - Sougens note is found on the pedestal at the Underground Temple
entrance.He talks about the Ogres Gauntlet.
2 - Found in a chest inside on of the vases in the Underground
Temple,beside the alter with the SHINDEN.Saimyou talks of his

are written by Guildstern who writes about his fellow
demons,Nobunaga,Princess Yuki and the Apocalypse.Although they have
nothing to do with completing the game they do tell you what's going on.
7.TIPS:
=======
After finishing a boss backtrack in order to get more red souls etc.Try
different ways to kill different enemies in order to get more souls.Keep
going into a room or place until all enemies are dead.Save as much as
you can in case you die and when you are about to face a boss.Conserve
herbs to enhance them and also keep medicines until you face Fortinbras
or when you play as Kaede.When you play Kaede be careful and don't waste
any talismans until you face Frotinbras.Get power and magic
jewels.Enhance items when you get the chance.
Always check your map to see if there are places where you have not
been.Enhance orbs before you enhance weapons so you can enter all
blocked doors quickly.When a door is blocked by a crystal you need a
certain orb at a certain level. eg.A door with three fire crystals
requires a lvl.3 KOUEN.A door with two wind crystals requires a lvl.2
ARASHI.
8.WALKTHROUGH
=============
Part 1
******NANAMGARI & THE SOUTH AREA******
When you first gain go through the passage to find 2 blade demons and
Princess Yuki.Take out your sword and after a few hits they will run
away leaving Princess Yuki.
CUT-SCENE:
After waking up Princess Yuki thanks you for coming and it seems great
until a large demon named Orsic shows up.Samanouske tries to fight him
but it thrown through the air and dies.Oh well c'est la vie.Princess
Yuki runs to help you but then gets picked up by Orsic.
Meanwhile in Samanouske's mind he meets the Clan of Ogres and is given a

passage to where 3 more Blade Demons attack you.After killing them open
the small chest to the left of the stairs to get the UNDERGROUND TEMPLE
MAP.Go up the stairs and pick up the scroll on the pedestal of the
mummified monk.After reading it the pedestal will move so you now enter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BOSS:ORSIC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
====================================================================
Moves:Swing,Double Swing,Head Smash,Charge
DESCRIPTION:
This hefty brute is quite easy although he blocks off your only way
out.His moves are quite strong and are easy to block except the double
swing.The battlefield is a large square room with a large fire in the
middle which gives you a fair chance.
TACTICS:
The best tactics for this boss is to run up to him and either use a
magic attack or just hit him repeatibly.If your RAZIAN is at level 3
then you'll make short work of him.If you use the lightning attack then
he'll give you lots of souls.Soon he'll turn red and will start to
charge at you.When he does this run away and attack him when he bangs
into a wall.

for another scroll.Go through the door and in the next room look for a
piece of FLUORITE behind the vases.Then go through the hallway with blue
torches on the wall and go into the next room to meet Guildstern.After a
small chat he'll release a Reynaldo.

half and turning into another Reynaldo.When he is dead pick up the KOUEN
which is in the top left corner.Now go back to where Orsic was,his body
has decomposed and some Skull Demons have appeared and are taking more
souls from him.After you have killed them all and have the souls go

the ground has been removed and there are a few corners that you can
stay in to get a few hits.What is hard about Hercubus is that she
constantly summons Hercubites yet sometimes she hits them with her slash
or double slash attacks.Her poison sting attack is where she charges at
you and stings you which can take a lot of energy out of you.You'll know
when she is going to do this(When she shouts out "DIE")
TACTICS:
Straight away when you regain control get Hercubus into a corner and use
your wind attack and then when she's on the ground use the fire or
lightning attack.Also whenever she is in the air use any arrows (both

Part 6
**************THE DEMON REALM*************
When you enter this level Guildstern is here waiting here for you.After
a small chit-chat he'll release a stronger Marcellus.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BOSS:MARCELLUS SNR.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moves:Exactly the same as Marcellus JR. except Shadow Twirl.
DESCRITION:He looks the same as the first Marcellus.The battlefield is a
large circular stone inbetween two doors.His shadow twirl is very
powerful a can make it hard to see what he is going to do yet he can
only do it when he has lost his shield.
TACTICS:
When you gain control open the small chest beside the door you entered
to find a MEDICINE.Take as many hits as you can from him using
combos,bullets,arrows and wind attacks.When his shield is gone use fire
and lightning attacks to finish him off.
_____________________________________________________________________
After he is dead take all the souls and enter the next door.Save your
game and enhance HERBS into MEDICINES at the magic mirror.Pick up the
DARK REALM MAP.If you have the BISHAMON OCARINA then use it beside the
magic pool to open a secret door containg the BISHAMON SWORD.Pick it up
and equip it(go to weapons screen,press X on the NORMAL SWORD and choose
BISHAMON SWORD)
Go through the door and go down the pathway killing the Reynaldo.At the
bottom you'll find a Stealth Demon.Kill it and pick up the two MEDICINES
at the dead end and go through another passage.Enter the door.
CUT-SCENE:
Samanouske finds himself in a large room with Yumemaru and Princess Yuki
tied to a wall.Then the king of demons Fortinbras appears from a large
door.At the same time Nobunaga walks down into the chamber.Then
Fortinbas shocks Princess Yuki with some pink orbs.
BOSS:FORTINBRAS
=====================================================================
Moves:Each of Fortinbras moves are deadly and precise.The battleground
is the large chamber and the camera angle focuses on Fortinbras himself.
EYEBEAM:
A huge yellow laser beam comes from his eyes and goes up and down the
room.The best way to avoid this is to side-step or stay at one the back
corners.
FIREBLAST:
this move can only be avoided if you stay in one of the back corners.
Fortinbras spews a large wave of fire across the room from left to right
twice.
THUNDERSHOCK:
Several pink orbs are put in the air and send waves of electricity down
into the ground.To avoid them you can see where they move by looking at
their shadows and staying either inside them or away from them.
GROUND SWIPE:
Basically he moves his hand horizontally just above the ground.To avoid
this stay in the back of the room.
HEAD SMASH:
Fortinbras smashes you to the ground and you may lose a lot of energy.To
avoid this move side-step.
DEMON BREATH:
This is his most powerful and most annoying move in the whole
game.Fortinbras picks you up and takes you up to his mouth and breathes
fire onto your tiny body.Avoid this by keeping away from his body when
he is mobbing his hand.
to defeat Fortinbras keep bashing his snake-like body until his head
falls down.Then when this happens hit his eye.
If you have the BISHAMON SWORD it will be easy.If you have hit his eye
many times then here is a tip to get his head down much quicker:Use
lightning and fire attacks and then hit his eye with the BISHAMON SWORD.
If you don't have the BISHAMON SWORD here's what to do.
Use the SHIPPUU to hack at his body and then hit his eye with the
ENRYUU.After a while hack at his body with the SHIPPUU again but then
use a lightning attack on his eye.When you he is dead you can sit down
and watch the ending.
