Great armor ----------- There is a chest behind the waterfall containing the great armor. Flourite locations ------------------ Collect each of the following 20 Flourites to unlock the Oni Spirits mini-game. A Flourite can be found in one of the small alcoves with brown doors near the Seiryu in the Under Temple area. Just after the Boss fight in the South area, break some urns and search the floor under them to find a Flourite. In the Keep after running into Kaede with Yumemaru, you will find the Flourite in a small cupboard over the treasure box near the stairs. Go to the upstairs level of the Keep, and pass through the room just past the red magic door on the catwalk. Step through the next room to find the Flourite under the stairs, near the treasure box containing the Arrows. Go to the upper reaches of the Keep. You will find a Flourite across from Volume Two of the Seiryu, just after the intermission sequence where Tokichiru takes off into the night. Go to the Keep Underground.

You can find a Flourite just outside the door after obtaining the Vision Staff with Samanosuke. Go to the West area. There is a Flourite on the hill with the sled just outside the castle.

There is a Flourite In the walkway around the bell. Play as Samanosuke and find the Flourite on the pier just past the Magic Mirror room in the East Area. Go to the East Area.

Extra red souls --------------- When fighting enemies around the floating blue skull-ball things, allow them to absorb the souls that are released when you slay an enemy. When you kill the skull-ball, you will get many more red souls than if you had absorbed them directly from the demon. At the end of the game, when you are walking down the spiral pit, you will reach a pink and black blob that squirts out the "squid" monsters. Stand slightly to the left of where they land. When they are getting up (low enough that they are off-balance, but high enough that your foot can reach them), kick them over and stab them when they are laying down. You can easily get your red soul bar filled up 30 times using this technique. Easy souls ---------- If you are low on health at the end of the game before facing the Boss go to the entrance of the keep for some battles. By now they should be easy -- just absorb the souls to raise your health Easy kills with Kaede --------------------- While attacking any enemy, hold R1 and press Up. You will then jump behind them. Keep pressing Up and attack while holding R1 and Kaede will automatically kill the enemy (slits the throat, etc.). Defeating Marcellus ------------------- At the end of the game you should have all weapons and orbs at the maximum. When fighting Marcellus again, kick him and use the Thunder Orb's magic. For some reason, this is stronger than his other attacks. Defeating Fortinbras -------------------- Start off by doing any type of attack that will make Fortinbras fall to the ground (special attacks will make this quick and easy). From this point on, just keep kicking him to death. Press Down + Attack, move forward, Down + Attack, and repeat. This will take some time. You will never get hit, plus he will not be able to attack you if you can keep the chain kicks going. Use this strategy if you have only your three normal weapons, and not the secret sword. Kick him, then slash him with the Enryuu Fire Sword. It is the strongest. Give him about five kicks and then deliver a Thunder Orb magic. Repeat this until you have no more Thunder magic remaining. Then, use the Wind Orb magic to knock him down. Use the Fire Orb and some kicks. Most of his attacks are easy to dodge, except the fire. Defeating giant monsters with ax -------------------------------- When fighting the giant monsters with an ax, hold R1 and tap Forward. Immediately after that, attack him quickly. Then, hold R1 and tap Back a few times. Repeat this six or seven times and he will fall on the ground. Run over to him and tap Square as you stand on him. Samanosuke should put a sword through him to kill him. This will result in more souls than if you used magic against him. If the same thing is done with magic, he will fall immediately. Blinking eye ------------ When you have an Orb in your gauntlet, stand still for a few seconds and the eye will blink.
