幕末降臨伝 ＯＮＩ Bakumatsu kourinden ONI - End of Edo era advent legend ONI Walkthrough v1.0 (12/14/99) by akujin (akujin_@hotmail.com) http://members.xoom.com/akujin_/index.html There is a small amount of Japanese EUC-JIS encoded text in this doc. If you see ASCII garbled text, that means it's in Japanese and you aren't using a Japanese text-viewing program. I recommend using NJWIN which is available at www.njstar.com for viewing EUC-JIS encoded text.

The Karma system ----------------------------- Karma level Title Translation ----------------------------------------------------- 0 Gokuakunin Very wicked person 1-10 Nushi mo waruyonou Almighty evil 11-20 Otazunemono Wanted person 21-30 Akunin Bad person 31-40 Furyou Not good 41-50 Futsuu no hito Normal person 51-60 Ii hito Good person 61-70 Zennin Great person 71-80 Oeraisan Excellent 81-90 Odeekan-sama ??? 91-99 Sennin-sama Sage/Wizard 100 Kami-sama mitai God-like -When your karma is 20 or below, you will receive no money when you defeat enemies. Enemies will not leave items behind. The power of Kami-oroshi decreases. In addition, samurai and rounin in towns will attack you. -When your karma is 0 you cannot use Kami-oroshi. In battle, you will make no critical hits. -When your karma is 81 or above, the chance of finding items after battle and the amount of money you receive increases. When shopping in towns, the price of items is lower than usual. -When your Karma is 91 or above the power of Kami-oroshi increases. Your critical hit rate is also doubled. -If your karma reaches 100, return to your mother's house for something good... Tips for increasing your karma rating: -Don't search pots, dressers, etc. in people's houses. That's stealing. -Answer correctly in story events. In some events, you are given a choice. Choosing the more gallant or brave choice is bound to increase your karma rating. The first example of this type of event I know right now is the choice of whether or not to go with Natsume during the event on Mt. Tsurugi. Be sure to choose "yes". Also when you are asked if you will defeat the monster on Hitokui mountain, say yes the first time. -Help people. Some people request items from you, ask for help, etc. When you help them out, your karma increases. Some examples of people to help: -Take the old woman in Nikkou village to Edo. -Give the girl in Grande village an "America no hiyaku". -Help the sick old man in the inn in Toyama village. -In Kagoshima, give the old woman a "Kintan". -Tell all of the ghosts in towns about the Youkai village. I'm sure there are others. I'll add any I find to future versions. Of course, if you want to decrease your karma, just do the opposite of these. IV. Storyline- Translated from the Japanese game manual. ------------------ The time is the end of the Edo period. The world of Edo, consumed by a peaceful sleep for 300 years was awoken by the arrival of 4 steamships. One after another the emissaries of the foreign nations appeared. Their demand was the dissolution of 300 years of Japanese isolationism. But this has already been written of in the history books. Their real purpose was quite different... To utilize Japan's "reiketsu"*. In the spirit country, Japan, the existence of the "reiketsu" has been known since ancient times. The reiketsu are spiritual magnet-like places that exert their influence over all things because of the spirit energy erupting out of them. The Tokugawa clan, knowing of the existence of the reiketsu, formed the shogunate in Edo. More than 300 years later, the spirit energy in Edo began to run dry. As the reiketsu at Edo lost its power, so the reiketsu everywhere in Japan became unstable. Because of this, the spirit power began to benefit evil creatures that had been sealed up for millenia. From the inside, the ghosts. From the outside the well executed influence of foreign nations. The shogunate, driven into a corner from both without and within organized the famous Shinsengumi special force. The Shinsengumi organization in the town of Kyou was rumored to be "more frightening that the demons"; but that was, in fact, not an exaggeration. In addition to its outer mission of clearing out forces that would try to overthrow the shogunate, buried in the darkness of the past there also existed the "Shadow Shinsengumi". The duty of the "Shadow" was to take care of "those things the human hand cannot manage". Their opponents were the rampaging ghosts who were disturbing the world. This is a story of the end of the Edo era, but centered around the control of the reiketsu. Back and front, front and back, where does the truth lie? That you shall discover at the end of a long journey... * Reiketsu (霊穴) literally means "spirit hole". V. Intro translation --------------------------- Shinsengumi: Open up! Open this door!! Shinsengumi: Open up! If you won't open it we'll force our way in! Kondou: We are the Shinsengumi!! Keep quiet!! Hijikata: The enemy should be on the second floor! Don't let a single one escape!! Hijikata: Well done. Tie all of them up. Shinsengumi soldiers: Yes sir! Okita: We've caught all of them. Is it true that some among them are not human? Juurouta: Let's find out. Juurouta: Reveal your true form!! Hijikata: What the!? Ghost: Keeeee!! Juurouta: Damn! Okita: Look out!! Okita: Uughh! Hijikata: Soushiiiiiii!? Ghost: Gukya! Juurouta: Damn, did it get away?! Hijikata: Are you OK, Soushi!? Hang in there! Okita: I, I'm all right. They really were ghosts... they surprised me. Hijikata: You damn fool, you're not all right! That's a serious wound! Juurouta: Kondou-san.... Sorry, two of them got away. I'm going after them. Kondou: OK, be careful. Jurouta: They will not escape from me. Hijikata: Kondou-san... What the hell is Juurouta talking about!? The ghosts can simply disappear into the human population from what I've heard! Kondou: ....Even I don't quite understand it. But something is happening in this country. I'm sure of that. Okita: ........ Hijikata: Don't overdo it Soushi. Okita: I told you, I'm all right. The more important thing is where Juurouta-san has gone. Kondou: Juurouta will be fine. Juurouta is a ghost extermination specialist; part of the 'Shadow' Shinsengumi... VI. Game walkthrough -------------------------- 1)飯田町 (Iida village)First, Yamatomaru's mother tells him to go into the shed south of the house and get her letter-box. Bring it back to the house and she gives him his father's katana. Then a child comes in and says that some children have been captured on the mountain to the west. Of course, Yamatomaru volunteers to go rescue them. 2)丸山(Mt. Maru)-Go west from Iida to get to the mountain. Go up the mountain to a small cave entrance. Defeat the monster inside to save the children. Back at the village, while the villagers are talking to you, the monster from the intro comes in. Yamatomaru tries to fight it, but can't win. Then 十郎太(Juurouta) comes in and attacks the monster, which escapes. Juurouta tells Yamatomaru that he can sense the strong potential in him and that he should come to the village 富山村(Tomiyama village) and see him. Back at Yamatomaru's house, he tells his mother that he wants to leave the village to "become stronger" and follow in his father's footsteps. She agrees, but tells him to at least wait till morning ^_^ The next morning they see him off. 3)Head north to Tomiyama. Juurouta is standing by the bank of the river. After Yamatomaru tells Juurouta that he wishes to travel with him, Juurouta tells you your next destination is 皆神山(Mt. Minagami) to the east where the monster from Iida village has fled to. 4)皆神山(Mt. Minagami)-When you first get there, you'll see the monster open a hidden door in the mountainside. Juurouta comments that that's where you need to go (duh!). search the area the monster was standing in front of to find a switch (hmm, wonder what it does?). Inside the cave, you find a mechanism on the wall. The characters comment that it looks like it can be pushed and you are given a choice whether to do so or not. Choose yes to open a door north of the mechanism. When you find the monsters standing in front of a big pit, the characters are wondering what to do when the monsters suddenly turn and attack. After the battle, One of the monsters jumps into the pit, causing an earthquake. Juurouta and Yamatomaru go outside, and the cave collapses behind them. Juurouta says that you should head southwest to the capital. 5)京 (Kyou)Cross the bridge west of Iida to get to the capital. In the Shinsengumi house Juurouta will introduce you to the leaders of the Shinsengumi. Afterwards, you have to go with some of the Shinsengumi soldiers on missions to clear out ghosts in the town. Talk to the soldiers in the front room and answer yes when they ask you to go with them. These are the missions: Samurai name Task --------------------------------------------------------------------- 源三郎 (Gensaburou)- Go to the bridge southwest of the Shinsengumi house. A woman will come out and turn into a demon you must defeat. 左之助 (Sanosuke)- Go out the north exit of the town to the temple and fight the demon there. 藤堂 (Todou)- Go to the item shop directly west of the Shinsengumi house. Talk to the woman there and then search the boxes directly north of her. Defeat the demon in one of those boxes. 新八 (Shinpachi)- Go to the house directly to the east of the Shinsengumi house and talk to the old woman there. Defeat the demon that has possessed her son. 沖田 (Okita)- Leave the Shinsengumi house and go to the right. Your characters will stop, the screen will darken, and two demons will walk toward you from the north. Destroy them. 斉藤 (Saitou)- Go to the temple out of the north east exit of the town. If you talk to the monk at the entrance of the temple, he'll ask you to defeat the demon rat in the temple. When you go in, Yamatomaru will take on the rat alone. 6)出雲村(Izumo village) In the upper right corner of the town is what appears to be a house that has been destroyed. Search the round lid in the upper right to find a hole. Down below you encounter 夏芽(Natsume) who tells you how she came to be down there. She suggests you go to 八束山(Mt. Yatsuka). 7) 岡山村(Okayama village) Go south of Izumo to get here. This is basically just a stopover on the way to the mountain for now. Buy some armor if you can afford it, then head north and west to Mt. Yatsuka. 8) 八束山(Mt. Yatsuka) When you first arrive, Natsume will suddenly show up and join you. Further up the mountain, there is a cave entrance. The characters are unable to enter and Natsume says that you should get her brother to go with you, because he might be able to break the seal that is stopping you from going in. So that's what the characters decide to do. If you try to go into the cave now, the game will stop you and say you don't have her brother with you yet. On your way back down the mountain, though, one of the Shinsengumi soldiers runs up and tells you that they have found the place where the demons have been gathering. He says it's near Tomiya (the town in which Juurouta joined you). He tells you to hurry there. Yamatomaru is worried because Tomiyama village is near Iida, his hometown where his mother is. Natsume remarks that that village is quite far away to the east. (You might want to use the Kujaku no hane you should have found on the mountain to warp to Tomiyama). 9) 大石神社(Ooishi shrine)When you arrive here, a voice starts speaking to you. It gives you the clue "The second tree from the left behind the shrine". Upon investigation of the tree, the three characters push it and uncover a hole. The hole opens up on a cave. At the end of the cave is a large hole. After some dialogue, a monster appears out of the hole (石神 Ishigami). After defeating the monster (just use regular attacks as Juurouta's jutsu don't work on it), the characters seal the hole and are told by a mysterious voice that there is another pit like this one to the north east that they also must seal. 10)日光村 (Nikkou village) North east of Ooishi jinja. An old woman in this village will ask you to take her to 江戸(Edo). That's about all there is to do here for now. 11)江戸城下町(Edo castle-town) Located south of Nikkou. If you brought the old woman from Nikkou she thanks you and leaves as soon as you enter. Also, there are three characters that will offer to become your ally. One is a sumo wrestler named Kamonoseki. I strongly suggest you have him join. In battle, his sumo attack does a lot of damage to the enemy. The other two guys, Densuke and Kotarou, ask for 400g and 200g respectively before they'll join up. 12)宝珠山(Mt. Houju) Located north of Nikkou. Near the top of the mountain is a small temple, and a building that looks like a warehouse. First, go into the temple and talk to the priest there. He says that his "Holy flame" has gone out. Now go outside and check the wharehouse. It's locked. Go back to the priest. He tells you that it's not really a wharehouse, and inside is the entrance to a cave. If you will go to ひえい山(Mt. Hiei) for him and bring back the holy flame from the temple there, he says he'll lend you the key. Mt. Hiei is near Kyou. You can see it to the northwest if you stand outside Kyou. However, to get to it you'll have to go north, then cut west, back south and east past a couple of towns. You can't enter the second town. If you try, Juurouta will say "What business do we have here?". 13)ひえい山 (Mt. Hiei) At the top of the mountain is another temple, like the one at Mt. Houju. Talk to the priest and he'll give you the holy flame. A man in the other room will give you food which will restore your HP. The girl offers to become your ally. 14)Mt. Houju again. Give the holy flame to the priest and he'll give you the key, as promised. Now go into the building next to the temple. On the left side, you'll find a thing that looks like a sign. After reading it, walk into the space where it was sitting and you'll see a short scene in which 5 people are about to enter a cave full of the same demons that the Shinsengumi have been fighting. After the scene, your 3 characters get up off of the ground in a new cave, wondering if the scene they just saw was some kind of dream. At the end of the cave is another 霊穴 (Reiketsu- "spirit/soul pit".) Upon arriving here, Natsume will try to seal it, like the last one. When she does so, a sword comes rising up out of it. The game cuts to the five characters that were shown about to enter the cave. This time you get to control them ^_^ At the end of this short cave, they fight a wall, and then it goes back to the main characters. The sword floats toward Juurouta. Juurouta says that the characters 大典太 are written on it (the sword's name- Oodenta). Oodenta starts off almost definitely weaker than the sword Juurouta currently has, but it increases in strength as it gains experience and can learn 剣術 (kenjutsu-sword techniques). When you leave the cave and enter the wharehouse again, a Shinsengumi soldier runs up and says that demons are brutalizing Juurouta's hometown of 六甲村(Rokkou). Natsume asks if that's the village near Kyou (the one you couldn't enter before). Juurouta says that it is. Yamatomaru says "Let's hurry there!" 15)六甲村(Rokkou village) Located west of Kyou, near the mountain where you have to get the holy flame. It's a far walk from Mt. Houju so you might want to use the Kujaku no hane that was in the cave you just finished to get there (if you picked it up, that is). In the town go to the large house at the far side of the town. This is Juurouta's family's house. When you go in, one of the demons is about to attack a woman. Yamatomaru yells "Look out!" and kills it. Then, several samurai run in and greet Juurouta. You are separated, and when Juurouta returns, Natsume and Yamatomaru are shocked that "he" looks so much like a "she". Yamatomaru asks why he looks like a woman. Natsume wonders if that's his preference and says he's very pretty. One of the samurai asks "Why shouldn't she look like a woman?". Natsume and Yamatomaru start stammering and run back and forth. Juurouta notices they're surprised that she's actually a woman (Natsume's sort of had a crush on "him" up to this point). After some more scenes, they tell you you must go to a place south of the village. 16)六甲荒れ地(Rokkou wasteland) When you enter, the characters hear the mysterious voice again. It tells you that if the step on the design to the east of the entrance, they will be instantaneously transported. You have to use the transporters to warp your way around the mountain. Eventually, a transporter will warp you to a new area on a different island. 17)あわじ島荒れ地 (Awajitou wasteland) There is a stone blocking the door to the cave. The characters are wondering what they're going to do about it when the sword, Oodenta, clears the way for them. Yamatomaru says another reiketsu is close by. When you go in, a monster comes in behind you and attacks. After the fight, the monster says his friends are on the way. Juurouta says you better seal the hole quickly, before they get there. After Natsume seals the hole, another sword appears and the monster's buddies arrive. Suddenly, lightning bolts hit the monsters and again it shifts to the five strong characters from the last reiketsu. Walk through the cave until you see one of the monsters standing by a wall. If you talk to it, it'll tell you you'll have to defeat him if you want to get by (that should be absolutely no problem) and attacks you. After the fight, they find a girl unconscious. After a discussion about whether or not the should take her with them, they decide she can come along. She says her name is みなみ Minami. Then it goes back to the main characters, who are wondering where the lightning bolts came from. One of them wonders if the sword did that, and a voice says yes. The characters start looking around for the source of the voice, and the sword moves forward and asks where they are looking. It says that it's name is 数珠丸(Juzumaru). It also talks about another sword (三日月 Mikazuki) that is in a reiketsu. It says you must go to a waterfall at 高千穂 (Takachiho) on the island of 九州 (Kyushu). However, you'll need two special items to get there. One is the 青い宝珠(Aoi houju) of Nikkou village and the other is the まがたま(Magatama) of Mt. Yatsuka. It also tells you that collectively, the swords are called the 天下五剣 (Tenka go-ken / Five heavenly swords). Anyway, now you need to go talk to the chief of Nikkou village. 18)日光村 (Nikkou village) and フタラ山 (Mt. Futara) After a long conversation, the chief will take you to Mt. Futara. He wants you to defeat the monster there before he'll give you the Aoi houju. At the peak of the mountain, Natsume will act as the bait for a monster that the village has been making sacrifices to. The chief wants you to kill it. When it appears, Yamatomaru and Juurouta run in to join in the fight. After it's defeated, and they're all congratulating Natsume, the monster suddenly appears again and grabs her, saying it's going to eat her. Suddenly, an unknown person destroys the monster. This happens to be 冬夜(Touya), Natsume's big brother. He wonders what she's doing in a place like this. She says that she volunteered to be the sacrifice so they could get the monster. Touya gets pissed, and looks like he's about to attack Yamatomaru and Juurouta for making her do such a dangerous thing. She runs in front of him and tells him that they're her friends. She says it wasn't their idea anyway, it was the chief of Nikkou. At that, Touya takes off down the mountain. They keep talking and suddenly, Natsume gets worried that her brother has gone to do something to the chief of Nikkou village. She says you should go. Back in the chief's house, Touya is indeed pissed at the guy. The main characters tell the chief to give him the item he promised, and then they'll tell Natsume to tell her brother to let him go. The chief agrees, and the girl gets it and gives it to you. Natsume tells Touya to let the chief go. Outside the house, the characters ask Touya to go with them to Mt. Yatsuka, their next destination. He agrees. Touya can use the sword Juzumaru. 19)八束山 (Mt. Yatsuka) This mountain is to the north east of Okayama village or southwest of Izumo. If you stop by Izumo at this point, Natsume will ask if you will rest here for the day. If you choose yes, a short scene involving her brothers and her will occur. On the mountain, proceed to the cave entrance that you couldn't enter before. Touya will break the seal and allow you to enter it. At the end of the cave, you find the Magatama sitting in a web over a pit. Natsume says she'll get it, because she's the lightest and the web won't support the other's weight very well. When she reaches the Magatama some spiders attack her. Now the others have no choice but to go out on the web and defeat the spiders. Each character takes on one spider alone. They're not too tough. Anyway, after this and a short scene, you can leave the mountain. Now that you have the two items, go to the dock on the far west side of the island. The boatman will take you to Kyushu for 100G. Kyushu island -------------- 20)The first place you find on the island of Kyushu is a small shrine south of the dock. In the upper right corner is a treasure box. When opened, a monster like some of those you fight on this island comes out of the box. Natsume befriends it and Ittanmomen joins you. From now on, when you press the "Start" button, it will fly in and give you a ride on the world map. It can't fly over oceans or mountains though. 21)高千穂村(Takachiho village) You can buy some nice weapons and armor here, but they're really expensive. 22)Waterfall - North of Takachiho village. The first time you enter, a white serpent will appear and attack you. After the battle, it will turn into a human, then back into a serpent, and become your ally. You'll appear back outside the waterfall area. Go back in. This time, the characters will fall into the water. You first have to walk through water, and then you come out into a cave. Eventually, you should come to some pillars that are in the way of progress. When you go up to them, a sword appears, and once again the scene shifts to the five strong warriors going through a cave. Just walk through the cave and defeat the serpent that's guarding the door. Once it goes back to the main characters, the sword will tell you that it's name is 三日月(Mikazuki). The other two swords will ask it to join you, and it will float into Natsume's hands. One of the pillars will then disappear, opening the way to the reiketsu. At the reiketsu, a voice says not to seal the hole. The characters say that their mission is to seal the hole; the country will die if they don't, and they have come in the name of peace and for their country. They see a creature across the way. It says it will use the power of the reiketsu to defeat them and leaps into it. Then it comes back out, changes into a monster, and attacks. It's actually two monsters, and they can be pretty tough. After they're defeated, you can warp out of the cave using the warp pad near the beginning. The swords tell you that the next reiketsu is to the northeast at 十和利山 (Mt. Toowari). Actually it's FAR to the northeast, at the northeast end of Honshu, the main island. Go back to the Kyushu dock and pay the guy 150G to ride back to Honshu. I'd hop on Ittanmomen and fly to Mt. Toowari area because it's a long, annoying walk. Honshu island again ------------------- 23)戸来村 (Herai village) Located just south of Mt. Toowari. There's not really anything to do except use the inn or buy some items. 24)八戸村 (Hachinohe village) Located north of Mt. Toowari. The only really interesting thing here is the guy in the upper right corner, Tajikara Onomikoto. He says he'll become your ally if you can defeat him in combat. I don't think you'll be able to beat him at this point. He did over 600 damage to me in one hit when I tried to fight him. 25)海辺の村 (Beach village) On a peninsula northwest of Hachinohe. Nothing much happening here. 26)十和利山 (Mt. Toowari) You'll find a small box on the mountain and nowhere to go. The characters wonder if they need to put something in it. Go back to Herai, south of the mountain and talk to an old woman in one of the houses. She says she has a 石板 (stone plate) that will open a secret on the mountain. She wants you to go to the forest northwest of the town and get 4 フワフワ草 (Fuwafuwa plants) for her. If you get them for her, she'll give you the stone. 27)出られずの森(Derarezu no mori) Northwest of Herai. Find the four flowers. They're not hard to spot. 28)Go back to Herai village and talk to the old woman again. She'll give you the 古い石板 (Old stone plate) and フワフワ酒(Fuwafuwa wine). 29)十和利山 (Mt. Toowari) Return to the mountain and put the stone plate in the slot. A door will open. 30)ひらみつと (Hiramitsuto) Damn, this is a long cave. At least it's fairly linear. Eventually you will arrive at an area that is surrounded by lava. The characters will automatically drink the フワフワ酒(Fuwafuwa wine) that the old woman gave them for protection from the heat. Walk north in the lava area to some stairs. At the top of the stairs, the three 天下五剣 swords you have will float up and say that their companion is inside the stone pillar. Check the pillar and another sword will appear, and again the scene will switch to the five strong characters. After the short scene with them, the sword 童子切り(Doujigiri) will join you. This is the sword that the main character Yamatomaru can use. At the reiketsu, Natsume will seal the pit. Suddenly monsters start appearing, and Touya says to run. As you're running back out of the cave, the monsters will periodically catch up, forcing you to fight them. They're not difficult. Once you're outside the cave, Touya tries to remove the stone plate and shut the door, but he can't. Natsume seals the door and collapses... 31)戸来村(Herai village) The characters bring Natsume to the old woman here and she recovers. A guy comes into the village and says that you need to go to 四国 (Shikoku) another of the main islands. He says you can ride a boat to Shikoku from the dock south of Okayama village. 32)岡山村 (Okayama village) If you go to the dock, no one will be there. Go to the town and talk to the guy standing in the corner just up and right of the entrance. Doujigiri will talk to the guy and he'll go to the dock so that he can give you a ride to Shikoku. Shikoku island -------------------- 33)別府村(Beppu village) In this town, the people talk about 剣山(Mt. Tsurugi) and 山城村(Yamashiro village) to the east. There is also a man dressed in black near the entrance. If you talk to him, Juurouta says his name is 坂本竜馬 (Sakamoto Ryuuma) and that you should stay away from him. When you talk to the man in the upper left corner of town, he'll suddenly turn into a "Tanuki" (raccoon dog). The tanuki tells you that he was disguised as a human because he is looking for a peaceful place to live. The game gives you a choice to believe him or not. If you say yes, Yamatomaru offers to help him. They take him to a mountaintop nearby. The tanuki says it looks like a great place to live and to come back and see his town later. 34)山城村(Yamashiro village) In one of the houses here, a woman named Hifumi will ask you to save Yuuma who has been kidnapped by people who are looking for the secret of Mt. Tsurugi. She tells you that he is held in the largest house in the village. The largest house is the house in the northwest corner of the village. When you try to go in, Touya says you should go in the back door rather than the front. Inside, find a staircase leading down. Down the stairs, Yuuma is in a cell and a man named 伊蔵 (Izou) is demanding that he tell him the secret. Yuuma says he doesn't know, and Izou knocks him down and leaves. Go to the door and defeat the samurai guarding him. Izou will appear when you try to go up the stairs, and you'll have to fight him. Back at Yuuma's house he'll tell you that you need five "Secret treasures" to open the way on Kenzan. The five treasures are located at the shrines on Shikoku. You don't have to do anything special to get them, just go to each shrine and pick them up. 35)剣山(Mt. Tsurugi) At the top of Mt. Tsurugi, there are five stones in a star-shaped pattern. You have to put the five secret treasures on the correct stones to open the way. Basically, you have to put them in the position of the shrines that they came from. On the world map, the shrines are in a star shaped pattern with Mt. Tsurugi at the center. Here's a diagram of the correct placement. 1)指輪 Ring 4 2)本 Book 3)かぎ Key 5 3 4)水晶 Crystal 5)つぼ Jar 1 2 After the treasures are placed, a large hole opens in the top of the mountain and a platform comes out of it. Suddenly, Izou shows up. Just kick his ass again and then use the platform to go down into the mountain. The characters eventually seal the "reiketsu" when some bad guys show up and knock them out. Eventually you wind up in Kyou, and the Shogun and another man join you to go to the new reiketsu that has opened up nearby. Talk to the samurai named 南山 (Minamiyama) and he'll tell you to go to the southwest of Kyou. Honshu island again ---------------------------- 36)石舞台(Stone stage) Looks similar to stonehenge rocks on the world map. When you walk in, Natsume says there is something written on one of the large rocks. Check it out (It's basically just a clue about which monkey is the key to opening the way... stupid because you can just check each one until you find the one that works). Then go to the third monkey statue from the right (The one that's doing "see no evil" ^_^) and check it and a hole will appear in front of the large stones (I guess the stones are a stage...). 37)飛鳥地下(Asuka underground) At the end of the cave you'll again meet Izou and his pals at the reiketsu. At a couple of points in the conversation it will ask you whether or not to attack him. If you don't attack, he eventually leaves anyway. I'm not sure if fighting versus not fighting has any effect on the storyline. After Izou is gone, somehow all of the characters fall into the hole. In the reiketsu, Yamatomaru sees a sphere of light that talks to him and tells him about 鬼神 (Onigami / Kishin). When he comes to, outside of the pit, Yamatomaru as well as the others have dramatically changed form. The other characters say they heard voices of their dead relatives. Yamatomaru wonders if the voice he heard was his father's. After you reclaim your swords, the sword 鬼丸 (Onimaru) will join you. When it does the scene again shifts to the five other characters. When it's over, it's time to leave the Asuka underground. From now on the option 「転身」 "Tenshin" appears on the left hand menu in battle. When selected, the character will turn into their other form for the battle. It takes 30 SP per turn but they're a good deal stronger in this form. You should have found the item "Megami no namida" (Goddess tear) in the cave. Gennobou who is at one of the shrines on Shikoku is looking for this item. If you take it to him he'll become an NPC. 38)Your next destination is Ezo. First go to 海辺の村 (Beach village) located at the far north end of Honshu at the end of a peninsula. Talk to the man standing in the northeast corner of the village. He'll tell you his ship is broken and he can't take you to Ezo. If you help fix his boat he'll take you to Ezo. 39)竜が森 (Ryuuga forest) To fix the boat, you'll need some wood, so go to Ryuuga forest located southeast of Beach village. In the center of the forest, investigate the lone tree standing there. It'll attack you. After the fight, you will be asked if you want to burn down the tree. Choose "no" and the tree will give you a raft to use to get to Ezo. Go back and talk to the guy in the Beach village. He will lead you to the dock. A mermaid will swim up and offer to tow your raft to Ezo. Yamatomaru wonders if it's going to be OK. The mermaid not to worry, she's very strong. Juurouta says there's no other way. Anyway, she tows you to the island of Ezo. At the shore she gives you an item called "horagai" and says you can use it to call her. Ezo -------------- 40)函館村(Hakodate Village) At the inn are some people who also are looking for the Reiketsu on Ezo. Make sure you talk to the girl and that they leave the inn eventually. Next go outside the village, to the healing spring just northeast of the village. The same characters will show up while you are there. You'll have to fight Rish and George. After the fight, the characters realize that the reiketsu must be underneath the healing spring, and that's why the water has healing properties. But where is the entrance to the reiketsu? There's no entrance to it at the spring. One of the characters says there must be a cave nearby that will lead to it. Go back to the town and talk to the guy standing by the well. For 100G (and then another 100, and then another 100) he'll tell you about the cave to the northeast. After he's done talking, you can enter the cave to the northeast, which you could not before. After a short scene outside, you'll be told to go into the cave. At the end of the first floor you have to fight a spider. After it's defeated, a hole will appear where the spider was. The reiketsu is below. At the reiketsu, investigate the small pond in front of it. You'll end up at the healing spring above (This reiketsu isn't becoming unstable, so they don't seal it up). After a long scene the characters decide to go with Timba to her country to escape the shogun. She says to go to 横浜(Yokohama), west of Edo. Go to the end of the peninsula where you started on this island and call the mermaid. Back to Honshu ------------------- 41)横浜(Yokohama)- In the southeast part of the town you'll see an old man getting off of a ship. Talk to him and he'll tell you he can remodel your raft into a ship you can use to cross the ocean to Timba's country. Give him the raft and 1000G. He'll tell you to go spend the night at the inn and he'll be done the next day. The next day, he'll give you the ship. He'll also tell you that you can buy items for it at the item shop. Be sure to buy plenty of armaments and healing supplies. There's a guy in one of the item shops that will offer you an interest-free 10000G loan if you want it. When you're ready, you can board the ship using the farthest pier to the west in the town. Timba's country is far to the east (Timba is a native american). Every five levels the ship gains, it can be remodeled by the old man in Yokohama. 42)みなと町(Harbor town) Timba will leave you when you arrive at this town on the coast. She says her village is to the east. No one here wants to talk to you since you are 余所者 (strangers). You can't go into any buildings except the item shop. 43)草原の村(Plains village) East of Harbor town. This is Timba's village. If you talk to her she will say she will accompany you to the reiketsu. Be sure to buy some armor from the japanese guy hiding behind the tree. In another tent, a person will offer to let you spend the night (like using the inn). 44)グランデ村(Grande village) South of Plains village. People here tell you that they can't cross the Grande river because of a monster, and that south of the town there are strong monsters. The weapon and item sellers sell weapons and armor that are unusable by your current characters... 45)ポート村(Port village) West of Grande village. Again, this town is full of white people who don't want to talk to you. You don't want to talk to the kid in the upper right corner. If you do, he'll attack you. He's pretty tough; best take him on later. One cool thing is the guy who is selling guns. Yamatomaru can use most of them! Some of them are very powerful (the strongest one was 70 points stronger than his sword when I arrived in this town) 46)水魔(Suima) Go south of Port village to the dock. Yamatomaru says he'll defeat the river monster (Suima) and the party marches out into the river. Then Suima appears and captures everyone ^_^ The next scene shows Suima and another character dragging the heroes into a jail cell. When Suima leaves, the unknown character tells the heroes that her name is Siren. She says she'll let them go if they will go to the forest north west of the river and find the にじいろの羽根(Niji iro no hane- Rainbow colored wing). If they bring it to her she'll help them cross the river. She also gives you the エアフラワー (Air flower) which will allow you to stay underwater for up to two minutes. If you need another just come back to this room and search the jar on the right. She also tells you the exit is left of the room you're in. Go south, west, then north to get to the exit. As you're about to get out of the river, Suima appears and you have to fight him. 47)虹の森(Rainbow forest) In the forest, find the biggest tree you can see. If you check it and a long conversation starts, that's the right one. The tree says that it has the niji iro no hane, but it wants you to get the 緑のベール (Midori no bell- green bell) from one of his companions (the other trees-Treants). When you find the tree that has the midori no bell, it says it'll give it to you if you get the 赤の水がめ (aka no mizugame- red waterjug) from one of the other trees. But the tree that has that wants the 橙の腕輪 (Daidai no udewa- orange bracelet) which another tree has (sigh...). The tree that has the daidai no udewa wants the 青の角笛 (Ao no tsunobue- blue hunting horn). The tree that has that wants the 紫の水晶 (Murasaki no suishou- purple crystal).The tree that has it wants the 黄の石板 (Ki no sekiban- yellow stone plate). The tree that has it wants the 藍の鏡(Ai no kagami- indigo mirror). The tree that has that wants 10 kurosu, and tells you that some monsters outside of the forest have them. The enemies called "Ritoru ende" (they look like little kids with black hair and yellow clothes) will usually leave them after battle. At any rate, once you have ten kurosu, take them to the tree that wanted them and it'll give you the item. Then just start giving the right items to the right trees until you've got the niji iro no hane from the big tree. Now go back to the docks and give it to Siren, who will take you across the river. 48)ヒル村(Hill village) Southwest of the dock that siren drops you off at. In one of the houses a man talks about a dangerous monster nearby. If you tell him that you'll destroy it he'll give you a key that you're going to need, so answer yes to his question. 49)人食い山(Mt. Hitokui) Make your way to the top of the mountain and fight the Jabberwock. After he's defeated, walk down the other side of the mountain. 50)遺蹟の村(Ruins village) Southwest of Mt. Hitokui. Inside the large temple, you'll want to pick up the 黄金のティアラ (Gold tiara) that is to the left side of the entrance. In the first room you come to, you are asked if you would like to rest. Through the entrance at the bottom, a strange woman is talking about her lost tiara. Then she disappears. Go to the altar and put the tiara on the altar. The woman will reappear and tell you about the "Guardian" located in a cave in a valley to the east. She gives back the Gold tiara and also gives you the エメラルドピアス (Emerald earrings) which you will apparently need. 51)なげきの谷(Valley of grief) Located east of Ruins village. At the top of the mountain pass is a cave blocked with a rock. The Gold tiara begins to glow and the rock is moved out of the way. At the reiketsu, you'll have to fight a spirit to enter. When you investigate the reiketsu, the characters will see something at the bottom. It will ask if you want to get it. Choose yes, and they will retrive the 不思議なきかい (Strange machine/mechanism) from the bottom. You will then be given the choice whether to take it with you or not. Choose yes. Now go check north of the reiketsu. Talk to the guy standing there. This is the body of the spirit you just defeated. The spirit will go back into his body and "Squanto", the guardian of the reiketsu will talk to you. When all of the events here are done, go back to Ruins village. 52)Go back to the altar. Tamiara will appear and talk to Squanto. Leave Squanto there and go to the room on the floor above and spend the night. That night and the next day a lot of events happen and the 三博士(3 doctors) appear. Suffice to say, at the end of all of this Touya will die saving the entire party. Time to go back to Japan. At the dock where Siren will take you across the river, Squanto will catch up with you and join your party. He also gives Natsume the ability to use her brother's Houjutsu techniques. Squanto can use the fifth of the Tenka go-ken, Onimaru. Head back to the first town (Harbor town). 53)Back in Yokohama, exit the town by the north entrance. The shogun and his pals will appear and you will have to fight them. By the docks, 坂本竜馬 (Sakamoto Ryouma) will come up and talk to you. He offers to help you and says that he no longer is against you. He says you can spend the night at his house. That night, the strange voice again talks to you. It says that the reiketsu on Ezo (the northern island) is in danger. (If you stop by Hachinohe village now you should be able to beat Dajikara and get the Kami-oroshi that calls him.) That's it for now... I lost my notes on the last few things you have to do. I know you have to go to the Ihika village, and then to Mt. Fuji, but beyond that... I'll finish it up after I play through the game again. しょうがねえな VII. 剣術一覧表 Kenjutsu list ------------------------------------- 童子切り Doujigiri Name Romanized SP cost Description
