Special secret
While in the town of Imasho, trade with the other characters
until you get three fossilized bones. Later in the game, after
you teleport from Gifu Castle back to the Oni Sacred Place, you
will find two doors in the second room. Place the bones in the
middle door to reveal a secret.
Issen kill for all onscreen enemies
Get the book of Tech 2 so you can charge up any of
your weapons three times. Then, performed the Issen kill, but
continue holding [Square]. Jubei will do the Issen kill for
all enemies on the screen. o this on a lesser enemy such as a
Crocodile Man or Rolling Orc to get the much larger one.
Easy Issen attacks
Move to your left or right for a thrust attack and
press [Square]; move one step back for a slash attack and
press [Square]; or use a timing attack on a rolling enemy.
For quick Issen kills, wait until someone is about to strike you.
Then, pause game play. As soon as the menu appears hold [R1]
and start tapping [Square]. After a moment, press [Start]
again, release [R1], but continue tapping [Square].
If you time the monster's attack correctlyJ ubei will do a yellow
slash, killing the monster in one hit. You will get a lot more
souls this way.
Extra power and magic jewels
Magoichi should be your best ally. When you exit the
forest and obtain the last Nobunaga statue (from the left of the
save point near the pond where fishes appear from a "cocoon"),
he will blow this with a cannon to reveal the jewels.
Rakka-Ken Fire sword
You can get the Rakka-Ken fire sword by completing
the Purple Phantom Realm. This Phantom Realm is in a small room
just of right of the bridge that leads to the Gingamphats fight.
It is the most powerful weapon in the game and can easily defeat
Nobunaga.
White Necklace
Buy everything from the store in Imasho town. Go to
the mines and fight the Boss. Return and the store will be replenished.
Buy everything again. Then, once you return on the Iron Horse
you will find that the shop has more items. Once you buy them
all, talk to the store keeper to get the White Necklace. It fills
your life slowly when you are standing still.
Eternal Oghi
Use Oghi near a save point. Save the game when the
Oghi is still on. It will be gone for now, but when you load the
game again, the Oghi will still be on. It will still stop when
you use a magic attack or switch weapons.
Defeating Gogandantess
An easy way to end the first and second Gogandantess
is attack her until both of your swords are up and creating sparks
multiple times. You should keep trying until she appears to make
the fight shorter and waste less time.
