Onimusha Walkthrough

Go to South and a scene will play.You will confront the two ninja-like zombies trying to kidnap princess Yuki. A small combat will take place in which you're unable to kill your enemies. After a brief period of time, a scene plays showing the two ninja zombies fleeing from battle. You will go towards the unconscious Yuki to try

be given a gauntlet that lets you absorb demons' souls thus make you stronger. The face asks you to destroy the demons to seek their revenge. You will then wake up in the real world knowing that you've been bestowed with a great power powerful enough to subdue the demons. You will get an instruction scroll telling you about how to absorb souls,soul types,magic attack and enhancement.

On your left there's a magic mirror that lets you save your game/enhance your weapons. You can't enhance your weapons right now but you can save if you wish to.Go through the door just beside the magic mirror to go inside a compound.Turn to your left and you will find a bridge full with dead bodies.Just ignore the crows by the way :) Cross the bridge and a scene will play. In the scene you will see 2 poor guards trying to defend themselves against 4 demons. One of them is pulled down and is stabbed to death. You will have to combat these demons if you wanna survive. You will find that the demons would release colored souls that you can absorb by pressing the 'O' button. Red is the power orb that lets you enhance your weapons,Blue is the magic orb that lets you refill your magic gauge,yellow is the health orb that lets you refill your health.

Go through the two doors and you will be greeted with a scene- just after you enter the second door, you will see one guy trying to call you to escape through the door he's at. But soon after the door behind you is barged in by 4 zombie-like demons and you will combat them before you can go through the door the man was at. After you kill all the demons, proceed to the door. There you will be greeted by three idiots that lock Samanosuke and force him to fight the demons by himself. The three men will tell you the way to the keep which is just ahead of where you're standing. The way is through the forest...

In the forest, you will be greeted by two ninja-like demons that are fast and deadly. Try to take down one before you settle with the other. After you kill the two demons,check the right side of the cave entrance to find a herb. Proceed to the cave. In the cave, you will hear a loud bang and upon inspection, you will see a big hole created by the monster that kidnapped Yuki. Just go down the hole...

In the hole you will again be greeted by two ninja-like demons,kill them and proceed to a temple entrance. A ninja-like demon suddenly appear from inside the temple to attack you. This should be easy kill this time as you're more accustom to them anyway. Before you proceed inside the temple, check the box on your left to find an underground temple map. Proceed inside the temple...

Inside, you will see a statue of a mummified monk guarding the temple.You'll notice a green scroll that turns out to be a note from Sougen that warns you that you can't win without the power of the ogres. The statue will move to reveal a door. Step inside the door...

Inside you will encounter 4 zombie-like demons from both sides left and right. My strategy is to kill both zombies on my right side as they're nearer and also in the same screen as my character. Kill all the enemies and go to right path first.There're two secrets here in the right path. Just walk straight to an open window and click Xbutton to get an Fluorite(I will explain it's function in the Items Section).Turn to your left and you will see a closed window. There's a hidden book inside a small window just opposite of where you're standing. Open it up and it will reveal a Seiryu(it's an incomplete parchment of a decoder for trick chests you will find in the game,most of them come in 4 parts and you should collect all of them to get the answers). You can now proceed to the left path. Feel free to check each window to find hidden items which I doubt there're :)

At the end of the path, you will find a door,step inside and you will come into a room with two ceramics beside you. You can break the ceramics to find a hidden item. One of the ceramics will have a hidden clover which contains a Journal #1. This is written by Sougen's follower named Saimyou describing how he and his master follow the demon into this cave. Proceed on and you will find a blue orb which is a thunder orb. This is one of the first three orbs you will see in the game( I will describe the 3 Orbs further in the Item Section). After you take the thunder orb, you will see a short scene showing Samanosuke getting the Thunder Sword. Personally I like this more than the other as it's fast and lets you execute special attack without being hit by other enemies.

This is what you will see in the first trick puzzle. The big circle surrounding the 4 numbers:1,2,3,5 is indicated by a pink color in the game. You can rotate the first 4 numbers indicated by pink color and you can select the last 4 numbers(in this case 1,4,5,6) to rotate until you get the puzzle right. I'll leave the puzzle thing to you guys :) You can only rotate 3 times (indicated by REST:3 on top left hand corner)/ The result should be like the picture below:

After you've solved, proceed upstairs. You will come out of the cave opening to another forest. There's a clover just in front of you, open it up and you'll get a magic jewel(describe in Item section). Proceed up to what looks like an entrance guarded by a mysterious blue light. If you've guessed it right, it's a door sealed with a blue crystal filled with Thunder(does it ring a bell? Well it is). Well, you have your Thunder sword and thunder orb, you can easily open the door up. But just before you open it up, you might wanna save your game here or enhance your sword or orb. I suggest you enhance your orb first cause it will be needed to open up stronger seals. Just beside the magic mirror, you will find a partially hidden clover. This is your first word puzzle you encounter and there'll be more as you progress. The key to solve the puzzle is to get all the Seiryu if possible. Another painful way is to try all combinations,it takes time but never knows that your first try opens up the clover :) Well, the answer is 'Clan of the Ogres'. Hint: you have to enter 3 funny looking words,I'll leave the puzzle to you.When you manage to open it up, you will get a Power Jewel(description in Item Section).

Use the thunder sword to open up the thunder seal on the door then proceed. Inside you'll be greeted by several randomly placed horned like creatures that have the ability to roll over you. Try to block when they roll as you won't be able to hit them while they roll. Kill them all and check a partially hidden clover on your right to reveal a South Area Map.You can opt to re-enter the area to let the enemies respawn so that you can collect more souls and probably recover some health. If not proceed to the door opposite.

Inside, you will be standing on an area with two big flames infornt. Immediately on your left you will see a door which is closed. You can enter this door later however. BEWARE of the hiding bull-like demon on your left. It's the first strong enemy you'll face. He's wielding a massive axe which can be thrown if you're far enough from him. I suggest you let him throw his axe so that he won't use his double swing attack which is deadly. He will switch to his sword if he's thrown his axe.Use your thunder sword special attack by pressing triangle button to finish him off with one kill. Fee free to fight him, it's quite a good fight :) There're more of his kind here so happy fighting!

Directly north from where you enter, you will see a door with a strange red crystal on it. Well, it's the fire crystal and you will need to have the fire orb in order to dispel it. Forget about it for now on and proceed to a door on your left.

Inside you will be greeted by 3 zombie-like demons and a poor guard. Don't let the demons kill the guard because you'll lose a herb if the guard is killed. Notice that there's a door just in front of the guard. You can't go in right now as you don't have the red key. Instead, proceed to the crumbled wall into the dry moat which is mentioned by the guard earlier. Use your rope ladder you got earlier and you should be able to go down.

Once at the bottom, proceed to the opening just opposite to where you descent.(I don't think there's hidden items here, but if there's please tell me, thanks). Inside, you will find a magic mirror and another clover containing word puzzle on your left,let us leave the word puzzle for a while until we get the right clue. To the right, you will find a clover containing medicine(description in the Item Sections) and a red crystalled door. In the center of both you will find a door. I recommend you save before entering the center door as you will have to fight the first boss- the giant two fanged monster who takes Yuki from you. He's pretty tough, so be careful.

Circle around the fireplace and try to lure him to swing his club. Just after he swings his club, slash him one or two times. He will produce a random energy for you to absorb. Occasionally do the special thunder atack to kill him fast. You will be rewarded with a lot of different kind of energy after you defeat him. Take note the door with a red crystal next to the broken door.

In front of the boss corpse you will see an entrance, go inside and immediately you will notice a clover, open it up and you will see a Journal #2. It's written by Saimyou describing how his grief of being coward overcomes him when his master Sougen got seriously injured. Proceed to the metal door in front.

Inside, there are 3 vases that you can break. One of the vases contains fluorite. Go to your right and pass the skeleton decorations and into a door. There a scene will play showing a demon priest(I don't know the name) feasting on a poor guard. He mentions that he's the one who ressurrected Nobunaga. Soon after, he will let his pitiful creation attack you while he himself escape by a platform down below. Just beside the platfom, you will find the fire orb. Remeber the two doors that are sealed with red crystal? Yes, you can open them now.I personally don't really like Fire sword as it's slow and bulky. I can't find any items here so if you guys find any, please tell me, thanks :) Go out from the same door you entered...

Outside, you will be greeted by a few demons which should be easy to deal with. Move out of the next door into the area where you defeated the first boss. There, you will be greeted by flying suckers that can suck your health and magic. They will suck the boss energy up so it's your opportunity to kill all of them to get the massive amount of energy. Notice the song changes when you go out of the door. I like the song here :) Now, you can open the sealed door with red crystal on it by using your fire sword. Equip your fire sword if you haven't already and press x button on the door to break the seal. Proceed inside the door...

You will see a bull demon and several demon suckers when you reach to the top. Kill them and proceed to the door the bull demon was guarding. Outside, you will encounter some demons and a few demon suckers. They should be easy to kill by now. Break the seal that bonds the door using your fire sword. then proceed inside...

A scene will play showing a destroyed structure with a few dead guards lying around. You will also be greeted by a giant red samurai and several zombie-like demons. The red samurai demon's pretty tough, you should avoid his grap. If you are grapped, quickly press L1 followed by left and right button simultaneously to break free. There are three doors in the lower level; one's directly on your left, another one's on your far left and the third door is just opposite you. I will proceed to the door directly to my left.

When you enter inside, you will be greeted by three zombie-like demons, kill them all. Proceed further, you will meet a door sealed by two thunder crystals. Your thunder orb should be lvl2 or higher to open the door. If your thunder orb's still lvl1, go outside and kill some more demons and enhance your thunder orb. Inside the room, you will be greeted by 3 or 4 ninja demons. After you've killed all of them, proceed to the door further left...

Inside the room, search the area on Samanosuke's right to find a blue book. Inside, it contains a record of how Nobunaga survives from a large transfusion of demon blood.For your info, the writer's the demon priest you encountered earlier in a room. Just opposite the door you will find Three coloured crystals which are blue,red and green in color. You can open up the first two crystals using your thunder and fire swords but the third one, which is the wind crystal, can't be opened yet,thus, you can't proceed until you get wind orb. Go all the way out to the main hall. There, 3 zombie-like demons will again attack you.Finish them off and proceed to the door in the far left...

Inside, you will find a magic mirror to save your game/ enhance your swords and orbs. Just beside the magic mirror you will find a shimmering blue pool that allows you to replenish your magic. Inside, you will also find a Keep Map inside a clover.Proceed further you will be greeted by a cacconed old man hanging upside down. For the moment, he won't talk to you. As the game progresses further, he will tell you whether you want to go to Dark Realm(described further in Dark Realm section).Go out of the door and proceed to the center door...

A scene will play in which you will find a short samurai trying to get hold of a boy. The short samurai guy is Toukichiro(Nobunaga's high ranked general) from Oda clan and the boy's Yumemaru(Yuki adopted brother). In the scene, Toukichiro trying to persuade Samanosuke into joining Oda clan but Samanosuke refuses.You will find a clover lying on the ground in front of you,it contains Normal Arrow. Proceed to the door to your right...

Inside, you will find a door sealed with a strange symbol. Upon inspection, it's described as pit. You can't open it this time.You have to find another half of the symbol. Proceed a little further down is another scene. In the scene you will se Kaede trying to catch Yomemaru. Samanosuke will ask Yomemaru questions and suddenly the young boy runs off again. Samanosuke asks Kaede to catch up with Yomemaru while he goes to search for Yuki...

Proceed to the door in front. Inside you will be greeted by two zombie demons and a ninja demon. Kill them all and proceed further down. You will see a door just in front of you. To your right you will see a clover on the floor which contains a herb. Search the small place just on top of the clover to reveal a fluorite. Move back and proceed to the door in front...

Inside you will find a trick box on your left, a suzaku on the shelf in front(seach the shelf on your right). If you inspect the well in the center, you will find that there's a pail on top of you, the pail contains a health jewel to increase your health bar. Well, in my last game, I didn't swing my sword and break the rope so I got the health jewel on top but now I choose to swing and I have to get it below. Ok back to the trick treasure box. Upon opening it, you will ber presented by a few numbers shown below:

You will get a bow if you manage to open it up. Great weapon if you want to kill enemy from distance. All lower level demons like zombie demons are killed with one hit. The bow is also a great way to dismiss demon archers. Your arrows can be enhanced into Fire arrows.

Remember that you still have one word puzzle left unsolved. Well, you can attempt to solve it since you have the Suzaku. Go back towards the place where you activated the rope ladder, go down and solve the puzzle with the help of Suzaku. Inside the Suzaku you will find the name 'The gaunlet of... well, at least you know the first two words,so it's much easier to guess the third word. The answer is 'The gaunlet of the ogres'.
