Shin Satomi Hakkenden is a Dragon Quest style RPG developed by Micronics
and published by Toei, which was released only in Japan in 1989. It is based
on a classic Japanese novel about eight samurai who are descendents of a
princess who married a demon possessed dog after the dog saved her father's
tribe by bringing him the head of his enemy. The characters are often
referenced in Japanese media, and there are even popular anime series that
were translated into English, such as "The Hakkenden" and "Hakkenden: Eight
Dogs of the East".
The samurai and their stories are always re-imagined in each new anime,
movie, or whatever, and don't seem to try to follow the original novel very
closely. There does always seem to be a theme of eight rosary beads, one for
each samurai. Each bead has a Chinese symbol on it which represents a
different virtue. These symbols often appear on the samurai as birthmarks or
something similar, and are utilized in this game as well during the character
selection screen to choose which character you want to play as.
Unfortunately, the game that this guide is written for is pretty bad. In
fact, it feels unfinished and awkward. At the same time, it has some aspects
that I personally like, such as a feeling of non-linearity, and it does a
really nice job of incorporating all of the samurai into the game. You will
eventually have all eight of them in your party, plus a princess who doesn't
fight in battle, and they all follow you around the screen in a big parade,
which looks kind of cool, but it makes the game lag to a pretty obnoxious
degree. All eight characters engage in battle at the same time, which is
probably an RPG record for a Dragon Quest clone, and thankfully the battles
move pretty quickly even with this many characters.

This game is essentially a Dragon Quest clone in all aspects. However, there
are a few points worthy of note that will be mentioned in this section.
---Towns---------------------------------------------------------------------
Like any standard RPG, towns are a place to rest, buy equipment, and get
information. Many towns have a priest who will revive dead characters for a
fee. He is usually located in the upper-right building, but not always.
The shops in towns are indicated by signs baring Chinese symbols. They are:
Item Shop (品), Inn (宿), Weapon Shop (武).
---Saving the Game-----------------------------------------------------------
You can save your game by visiting certain castles scattered about the world
map. These castles are one room with a ruler surrounded by his subjects.
Speak to this ruler to save your game and learn how much experience your
characters need to level up.
---Battles-------------------------------------------------------------------
Early in the game, it seems that enemies in this game will only attack the
first two members of your party. But after you have all eight members, they
will suddenly attack anyone at random.
You cannot choose which enemies your party will attack, it is all chosen at
random.
After your party starts to get large, the game will stop refreshing your HP
reading when you get hit until after your turn ends. It's annoying, because
you might get hit several times and have no idea how much HP you have left.
There appear to be no status ailments in this game.
---Death in the Party--------------------------------------------------------
If you want to revive a dead party member, visit a priest, which can be found
in most towns. There is a fee for the service. There is also a spell you can
learn and an item which can revive the dead as well.
Early in the game, if all of your party members die, you will get a game over
and have to restart your game from your last save point. However, if Princess
Shizu is in your party, she can wander around the world map alone after the
rest of your party dies and she won't get attacked. She can then visit a
priest to revive your dead party members. Be warned that, if she is attacked
by a non-random encounter, she won't be able to attack and your game will be
stuck in an unending battle, forcing you to reset.
---Inventory and Items-------------------------------------------------------
Annoyingly, you cannot transfer items between characters, drop items, or
change the order of your party members. To remove items from your inventory,
you must sell them.
You have to "use" weapons and armor to equip them. Any character can equip
any weapon or armor. However, equipment has different strengths when equipped
on different characters. Some weapons are very powerful on one character and
weak on another. You have to find the correct weapons and armor to match each
warrior.
Characters learn spells when they level up.

At the title screen, you have the following options:

will be asked to choose a file to use.
まきものを けす - "Erase scroll". Delete a save game file.
まきものを うつす - "Copy scroll". Duplicate a save game file.
If you chose to start a new game, you will see eight Chinese symbols to
choose from. Each symbol represents a different dog warrior. The one you
choose will be your starting character. The symbols and characters they
represent are:
仁 - "Charity", Shimbei Inue
義 - "Justice", Sousuke Inukawa
礼 - "Courtesy", Daikaku Inumura
智 - "Wisdom", Keno Inuzaka
忠 - "Loyalty", Dousetsu Inuyama
信 - "Faith", Genpachi Inukai
孝 - "Filial piety", Shino Inuzuka
悌 - "Respect for elders", Kobungo Inuta

When a new battle begins, you will first be asked if you want to engage in
"Auto Battle" (じどう せんとう), with options: はい ("Yes"), いいえ ("No").
If you select "yes", your party members will all do regular physical attacks
for the entire battle. Hold down "B" when a round of battle ends to cancel
the auto battle command and begin giving manual orders.
After choosing whether or not you want to use "auto battle", you will then be
asked if you want each of your party members to engage in the current battle.
Say "yes' for members you want to have fight, and say "no" if you want a
particular member to sit out. Only members that participate will receive
experience from the battle. If your party is wiped out, any members that did
not participate in the battle will still be alive and able to continue
exploring as normal.
If you choose to give order manually, you will then have the following menu
options:

these menu options.
The enemy's name and HP are shown on the middle-right window on the screen.
The names and HP/MP of your party are each shown in the windows at the top
and bottom of the screen.

---Level Building--------------------------------------------------[sec4a]---
Depending on who you chose to start the game with, you might have a very
difficult time surviving even the weakest of enemy encounters. This section
is meant to give you a little advice to help you get started if your
character is particularly weak. If you chose Sousuke, you can skip ahead to
the next section of the walkthrough since he doesn't have to fight enemies in
the beginning.
You will need to have a lot of patience and fight only the weakest enemies:
Tanuki (たぬき) and Low-Rank Ninja (げにん). These are found near the towns
that the different characters start at, so don't wander too far away or the
enemies will get even harder. Even near the starting towns, most of the
enemies will kill you easily.
You want to locate a castle at which you can save your game. Then, you should
save your game after every battle you survive since you'll probably get
killed immediately afterward. Here are the nearby castles you can save at
with each character:
Shino - Go Northwest, along the river, to find the castle.
Kobungo - The nearest castles are pretty far away. Exit the mountain range to
the West, then go South across the bridge, then go East to find a town
and a castle a little bit farther to the East.
Sousuke - A castle is just to the right of the starting town.
Genpachi - A castle is right next to his starting town.
Keno - Go directly South from his starting town until you run into the river.
Then follow the river to the East to find the castle.
Dousetsu - He starts right next to a castle.
Daikaku - There is a castle just above his starting town.
Shimbei - He starts pretty far from any save castles. Go North through the
mountain ranges until you see a bridge. Go East at that bridge without
crossing it to find a town and a castle a little farther East.
After you are able to survive a simple encounter, you should set your sights
on getting better equipment. Depending on who your character is, you might be
able to get some crazy powerful weapons and armor cheaply and easily. Consult
the weapons and armor charts at the bottom of this guide to see which
equipment is good for your character and where you can get them. Your
characters become stronger mostly by the equipment they wear, and not so much
by leveling up.
---Assembling the Eight Dog Warriors-------------------------------[sec4b]---
No matter which character you start with, your ultimate goal in the first
half of the game is to recruit all of the other eight dog warriors. The order
in which you are allowed to recruit them is different for each character, so
if you try to recruit Keno, for example, he might join you early or later
depending on which character you started with.
There are also a few bosses you fight during this recruitment period. The
time at which you fight those bosses will change as well.
In order to try to organize this section so that you can use it for any
starting character, I will list the order in which you are supposed to do
things for each character first. Then I will give details about specific
events below. When it says to recruit several characters on the same line,
for example: "Recruit Kobungo, Sousuke, and Genpachi," I don't mean
necessarily to do it in the order that I list. The order is probably
different for different starting characters. The only one I know is listed in
the correct order is if you start with Shino (because he's the one I played
through with), and I got the rest from this Japanese site:
http://www.saturn.dti.ne.jp/~dastard/azito.htm
Also, there is a somewhat incomplete world map on this site:
http://strv.xxxxxxxx.jp/iroiro/satomi/satomi.html
It is missing a few towns, but it has mostly everything.
Here are the order in which you do things with each character:
Shino:

(1) Speak to the villagers in Ootsuka.
(2) Visit the town just East of Ootsuka and speak to the priest and the man
dressed in red in the upper-right part of town.

town.
(4) Recruit Kobungo, Sousuke, and Genpachi.
(5) Defeat Rasetsu Bou (らせつぼう).
(6) Recruit Keno, Dousetsu, and Daikaku.
(7) Defeat the Oni Spider (おにぐも).
(8) Recruit Shimbei and Princess Shizu.
Kobungo:

Sousuke:
Beginning location: Yourougawa Village (ようろうがわのさと)
(1) Speak to the villagers in your starting town to learn about Kobungo.
(2) This is optional but will give Sousuke a huge defensive strength and a
good weapon: get the Kappa Shell (かっぱのこうら) and the Tengu Fan
(てんぐのうちわ) from Toraimin (とらいみん) Village. Get the Fox Fur
(きつねのけがわ) from Subaru (すばる) Village. Note: the Tengu Fan is
significantly more powerful if equipped by Genpachi or Daikaku.
(3) Visit the Lake of Life.
(4) Recruit Kobungo, Genpachi, and Shino.
(5) Defeat Rasetsu Bou (らせつぼう).
(6) Recruit Keno, Dousetsu, and Daikaku.
(7) Defeat the Oni Spider (おにぐも).

Genpachi:
Beginning location: Furukawa Village (ふるかわまち)
(1) Go up to the tree in the upper-right of your starting position to hear
the voice of a spirit tell you to rid the world of evil. This causes the
enemy blocking your path to disappear.
(2) Recruit Sousuke, Shino, and Kobungo.
(3) Defeat Rasetsu Bou (らせつぼう).
(4) Recruit Keno, Dousetsu, and Daikaku.
(5) Defeat the Oni Spider (おにぐも).
(6) Recruit Shimbei and Princess Shizu.
Keno:
Beginning location: Yorii Village (よりいのまち)
(1) Speak to the men inside the building in the upper-right corner of your
starting town.
(2) Recruit Dousetsu and Daikaku.
(3) Defeat the Oni Spider (おにぐも).
(4) Recruit Sousuke, Genpachi, Shino, and Kobungo.
(5) Defeat Rasetsu Bou (らせつぼう).
(6) Recruit Shimbei and Princess Shizu.
Dousetsu:
Beginning location: Toshima Village (としまのまち)
(1) Walk into the grass field in the upper-right corner of your starting town
to hear the voice of a spirit telling you to go seek the other eight dog
warriors.
(2) Recruit Daikaku and Keno.
(3) Defeat the Oni Spider (おにぐも).
(4) Recruit Sousuke, Genpachi, Shino, and Kobungo.
(5) Defeat Rasetsu Bou (らせつぼう).
(6) Recruit Shimbei and Princess Shizu.
Daikaku:
Beginning location: Koushinsan Village (こうしんさんのむら)
(1) Recruit Dousetsu and Keno.
(2) Defeat the Oni Spider (おにぐも).

(4) Defeat Rasetsu Bou (らせつぼう).
(5) Recruit Shimbei and Princess Shizu.
Shimbei:
Beginning location: Kanou Village (かのうのむら)
I list the order of completing things as I got them from a Japanese site, and
for some reason Shimbei's order of events looks different than the others. I
suspect this is a bit wrong, probably you have to defeat the two bosses
stated before you can recruit some of the characters.
(1) Speak with the people of your starting village.
(2) Try to exit the screen to the East and you will find that there is
another village on the same screen. Talk to Princess Shizu here.
(3) Recruit all other dog warriors.
(4) Defeat the Oni Spider (おにぐも).
(5) Defeat Rasetsu Bou (らせつぼう).
(6) Recruit Princess Shizu.
---Recruitment Period Specifics------------------------------------[sec4c]---
Recruiting Shino:
Shino is located in the village next to Ootsuka Village. Ootsuka Village
(おおつかのさと) is toward the center of the world map. Just talk to him to
get him to join if it is the right time. He is found in the upper-right
corner of the screen.
Recruiting Kobungo:
Kobungo is located in Tougane Village (とうがねのむら), which is in the
mountains East of Ootsuka Village. Just talk to him to get him to join if it
is the right time. He is found in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Recruiting Sousuke and the Lake of Life:
Sousuke is located in Yourougawa Village (ようろうがわのさと). He is in the
top-middle part of the screen, which you have to reach by going to the upper-
right corner first, then walking left. He will join you if it is the right
time, but he is ill and needs to be taken to the Lake of Life, which you are
told is to the North. Sousuke can participate in battle at this point even
though he looked pretty bad. But he can't use his spells until you cure him.
If you began the game as Sousuke, you need to get to the lake by yourself as
the first task, which is easy since enemies won't attack him while he's alone
since he holds the Charm Flute.
To reach the Lake of Life, you have to go all the way to the North part of
the world map. Go Northeast from Tamao Village (たまおのむら), and eventually
you'll see a small island with a bridge leading to it that has two blank
squares surrounded by some of the rougher looking terrain. Go a little
further East to find the bridge that will take you to that island. When you
step into the center of the island, you will appear in a new area with a
lake. Walk up to it and you will place Sousuke into the water, who is finally
healed.
Recruiting Genpachi:
Genpachi is located in Furukawa Village (ふるかわまち), which is North from
Ootsuka Village, across a bridge, and then Southeast.
In the Southeast corner of town, talk to the guy blocking the bridge who will
attack you. It's a battle against some Armored Warriors (よろい むしゃ), who
have 100 HP each.
After winning, talk to the man across the bridge, Genpachi (げんぱち), who
joins your party.
Recruiting Keno:
Keno is located in Yorii Village (よりいのまち), which is Northwest from
Ootsuka Village. Just talk to him to get him to join if it is the right time.
He is found in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Recruiting Dousetsu:
Dousetsu is located in Toshima Village (としまのまち), which is reached by
going Southwest from Yorii Village across a bridge, then going Southeast.
Just talk to him to get him to join if it is the right time. He is found in
the upper-right corner of the screen.
Recruiting Daikaku:
Daikaku is located in Koushinsan Village (こうしんさんのむら), which is found
by going North from Ootsuka across a bridge, then going further North. Just
talk to him to get him to join if it is the right time. He is found in the
upper-right corner of the screen.
Recruiting Shimbei and Princess Shizu:
Shimbei is located in Kanou Village (かのうのむら), which is found by going
across the bridge South of Tougane Village, then going South through the
mountain pass. Just talk to him to get him to join if it is the right time.
He is found in the far right side of the screen.
After Shimbei joins, keep walking right and you'll find that you won't exit
to the world map, but instead you will find another village on the same
screen. Talk to Princess Shizu there, who will now join you. She doesn't
fight in battles, but if your party is wiped out, she can travel alone
without fear of being attacked and take your party back to a village where
they can be revived, preventing you from getting a game over. Be warned, she
can still engage in non-random battles and she won't be able to take any
actions and the fight can't end, so you have to reset the game.
If you began the game as Shimbei, the princess won't join you until after
you've assembled all the other dog warriors.
Defeating Oni Spider (おにぐも):
If it is time for you to fight the Oni Spider boss, go to Koushinsan Village
(こうしんさんのむら), where you can recruit Daikaku. Enter the house that
Daikaku was blocking in the Northeast corner of the village and there will be
a man inside. Talk to him to engage in the boss battle.
Boss: Oni Spider (おにぐも) - 610 HP.
If you have spent effort into getting good equipment, then this battle should
be no problem. If you have Shino, he can learn some spells that boost your
party's defense, so check the "Spells" section of this guide to see if you
have any of them yet.
Defeating Rasetsu Bou (らせつぼう):
The boss Rasetsu Bou is found in the village where you recruit Shino, that is
right next to Ootsuka Village. But first, you'll have to speak to the
villagers in Ootsuka before you'll be able to trigger this battle. Then, go
to the village neighboring Ootsuka and enter the building in the upper-right
corner of town. Speak to the man inside to begin the battle.
If you begin the game as Shino, you'll have to talk to the priest and man
dressed in red in the upper-right corner of the village neighboring Ootsuka,
then return to Ootsuka and talk to the two people in the upper-right corner
of town, then return to the village neighboring Ootsuka and enter the house
to begin the battle. You can do this right away, but the boss is impossible
so early in the game, so it's best to wait until you have more party members
and good equipment.
Boss: Rasetsu Bou (らせつぼう) - 520 HP.
This boss is quite difficult if you haven't spent any time trying to gather
good equipment. But if you do have good equipment, then he will probably be
extremely easy.
When you win, you get the Murasame Maru (むらさめまる), a powerful weapon for
Shino. At some point, this sword will get stolen without warning. But don't
worry, you will be able to get it back later.
---Gathering Equipment---------------------------------------------[sec4d]---
Although a lot of equipment that can be bought in shops can be excellent for
some characters, there are several other pieces of equipment that are found
by talking to certain people or other such events. I list those items in
this section.
Toraimin Village Items:
Toraimin Village (とらいみんのさと) is located East of Koushinsan Village
(where you recruit Daikaku), in a desert landscape-looking area. Simply by
talking to the villagers here, you can get some excellent items. The ones
that give you items are in the houses.
You can get the Tengu Fan (てんぐのうちわ), which is a powerful weapon for
several characters, but it's best equipped on Genpachi. You can also get the
Kappa Shell (かっぱのこうら), which is an extremely strong helmet for
Sousuke, although during my playthrough I wasn't given this until later in
the game, so you may have to return later if you don't get it right away. You
can also get the Uinkira Pot (ういんきらのつぼ), which seems to have no
purpose.
You will also be able to get two more items, but which items you get depends
on who your starting character is. Here is the list of items available to
each starting character:
Shino: Enchanted Cord (じゅばくのひも) and Dragon Whisker (りゅうのひげ).
Kobungo: Houju Drop (ほうじゅのしずく) and Mummy Hand (みいらのて).
Sousuke: Houju Drop (ほうじゅのしずく) and Dragon Whisker (りゅうのひげ).
Genpachi: Fisherman's Net (りょうしのとあみ) and Hunter's Gun
(かりゅうどのじゅう).
Keno: Houju Drop (ほうじゅのしずく) and Dragon Whisker (りゅうのひげ).
Dousetsu: Houju Drop (ほうじゅのしずく) and Mummy Hand (みいらのて).
Daikaku: Fisherman's Net (りょうしのとあみ) and Hunter's Gun
(かりゅうどのじゅう).
Shimbei: Enchanted Cord (じゅばくのひも) and Dragon Whisker (りゅうのひげ).
The only good item out of those listed above is the Enchanted Cord, which is
a crazy powerful weapon for Sousuke, and without it he will suck for the
whole game. Unfortunately, you only get it if you started with Shino or
Shimbei.
The Brothers:
There are two brothers, one in Morodomi Village (もろどみのまち) and one in
Chidzuru Village (ちづるのまち). Morodomi is Southwest of Kanou Village
(where you recruit Shimbei and Princess Shizu) and past a castle. Chidzuri
Village is located East of Furukawa (where you recruit Genpachi), across a
"poisonous swamp" that damages you as you walk across it.
First, talk to the brother in Morodomi, then talk to the one in Chidzuru.
Finally, return to Morodomi and talk to the first brother again and you
should receive the Nanban Darai (なんばんだらい), a powerful weapon for
Daikaku.
These brothers also mention a third brother who is being held captive in
Akujaki Village, which you will come across later.
Subaru Village:
Go to Subaru Village when you have all the eigth dog warriors and talk to the
guy in the upper-right house to get the Soryu Kama (そうりゅうのかま), a
powerful weapon for Shimbei that allows him to attack twice per turn.
---Tateyama Castle-------------------------------------------------[sec4e]---
Tateyama Castle (たてやまじょう) is located Southwest of Kanou Village (where
you recruit Shimbei). It is surrounded by a castle, which you can surpass by
going down the obvious stairs at the backside of the castle.
On the 1st floor, enter some stairs in the Northeast corner of the room. On
the 2nd floor, enter the room in the middle of the screen by entering the
door on the South side. Inside, you will battle a boss.
Boss: Hazy Armor (おぼろ よろい) - 1200 HP.
You could have Shino cast らんふうへき to increase your party's defense which
will likely make a noticeable difference. If you spent some time getting good
weapons/armor, this will be an easy fight. But he dodges a lot, like all the
bosses in this game, so it can take awhile.
---Maebashi Mansion------------------------------------------------[sec4f]---
Maebashi Mansion (まえばしのしゅく) is located just North of Yorii Village
(where you recruit Keno).
Inside, enter a room toward the upper-right part of the first floor. In the
room, go down the door at the far bottom-right corner of the room. In the
next room, go up the stairs in the far bottom-left corner of the room.
Upstairs, go out the door at the bottom of the room. Now in the main part of
the floor, enter a door in a room up and left from where you are. In that
room, go through the door in the upper-right corner to find a room containing
a boss character.
Boss: Sea Slater (ふなむし) - 1500 HP.
Win to get the Murasame Maru again, a powerful weapon for Shino. This time,
it won't disappear from your inventory.
---Jourakuji Village-----------------------------------------------[sec4g]---
Northwest of Koushinsan Village (where you recruit Dousetsu) is Jourakuji
(じょうらくじ) Village.
Visit the priest in the upper-right house when you have all the dog warriors
to receive the Kouha Rosary (こうはのじゅず).
---Akagi Yama------------------------------------------------------[sec4h]---
Go along the path that leads into the mountains just Northwest of Jourakuji
Village. It's a bit of a maze, but it leads to Akagi Yama (あかぎやま),
another castle dungeon. To get there from Jourakuji Village, go the following
directions at the forks in the mountain path: Up, Left, Right, Down.
Inside, head toward the upper-right corner of the screen. When you're around
there, enter the third door from the right. It leads to a room with stairs in
the upper-right corner which you should go up.
On the second floor, go left and exit the door on the left wall to get to the
main part of the floor. Enter a door that takes you into the room at the
lower-right part of the screen. Inside that room, go to the upper-right
corner of the room to go up some more stairs.
On the third floor, exit the door on the right to get to the main part of the
floor. Enter the room in the upper-left corner of the floor via the bottom
door. Inside, go down the stairs in the upper-right corner of the room. Then
go down the stairs you will see on the next floor. Back on the first floor,
go into the door on the left side of the screen. Inside the room, go right
until you see an enemy guarding the door. Approach it and you battle an easy
fight against six Armored Warriors (よろい むしゃ) with 100 HP each. After
winning, enter the room he guarded, where you'll find a boss character.
Boss: Genjin (げんじん) - 2000 HP.
Have Shino cast らんふうへき to raise your party's defense. It's tough, so
make sure you come equipped with the best available weapons and armor.
After winning, a staircase appears. Enter it and you will be on the other
side of the castle on the world map. Follow the path, going down at the fork,
and you will eventually come across a save castle.
From there, head North and take the following directions at the forks to
reach Harunasan (はるなさん), another castle dungeon: Left, Up, Up.
---Harunasan-------------------------------------------------------[sec4i]---
On the first floor, go through the door at the top of the starting room, then
go to the far right side of the hallway and go down the bottom door. Go down
the stairs you see next to you. Follow the path to some stairs up.
Enter the room on the left via the door on the left-side of the room. Go down
the stairs in the lower-right corner of that room. Follow the path to some
stairs down. Then follow the path to some stairs up. Go up the stairs on the
left side of the screen.
On the next floor, you will see an enemy guarding the door at the bottom of
the room. Approach him and you'll battle six Armored Warriors (よろい
むしゃ), with 100 HP each. After winning, go through the door and enter the
room on your right. Inside, you will see what looks like a boss, but when you
approach it you'll find it's really just five Oni Miko (おにみこ), with 298
HP each. Win and you'll see a stairway appear. Enter it to appear on the
world map on the other side of the castle.
Follow the path to find a castle in which you can save your game. Next, go to
Kuzuu Village (くずうのむら), which can be reached by taking the following
paths at the forks after heading North from the save castle: Up, Up, Up,
Left, Down, Down, Right, Left.
---Kuzuu Village---------------------------------------------------[sec4j]---
Talk to the lady in the upper-left part of town to get the Shinryo Oogi
(しんりょうのおおぎ), a powerful weapon for Keno. You also need to buy the
Passage Papers (つうこうてがた), although you won't need them until much
later.
Next, you want to go Akujaki Village (あくじゃきのさと). Unfortunately,
there's no good way to get there. You have to warp back to Akagi Yama
(あかぎやま), walk all the way through the dungeon until you make it back out
to the world map on the other side of the castle. Then walk to the save
castle again.
From there, to reach Akujaki, after going North from the save castle, take
the following directions at the forks: Left, Down, Up, Up, Left, Left, Left,
Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Down.
---Akujaki Village-------------------------------------------------[sec4k]---
The townspeople here are actually youkai. Approach them and you engage in
easy battles. After beating all the youkai, a person appears at the town
center. Talk to him and you find it's the third brother of the brothers you
met earlier in Morodomi Village and Chidzuru Village. He says you need the
Cannon (おおづつ) to defeat the youkai. He says it's hidden in the rocks near
Sugai Village and that you'll need explosives to get it. He says there are
explosives near his father's grave. His brothers know where the grave is, so
you'll have to go ask them.
Warp to Morodomi Village (もろどみのまち) and talk to the brother at the top
of town. He says their father's grave is located three over from the top.
Warp to Chidzuru Village (ちづるのまち) and talk to the brother at the top of
town. He says the grave is located one from the right and three up.
---Ittouta---------------------------------------------------------[sec4l]---
Go West from Akujaki Village and go left at the two forks to find some stairs
down. Inside, go up until you enter another room, where you will find a boss
encounter.
Boss: Ittoutta (いっとうた) - 3500 HP.
As you're learning, there's not much strategy to the boss fights. Just a lot
of patience. Win to get the Tekki Seikon (てっきせいこん), a good weapon for
Kobungo, although you likely already have one that's just as good.
Next, you want to head for Sugai Village. Again, it is annoying to get to
from where you are, so the easiest thing to do is to warp back to Akagi Yama
(あかぎやま), walk all the way through the dungeon until you make it back out
to the world map on the other side of the castle, then walk to the save
castle again.
After going North from the save castle, take the following directions at the
forks to reach Sugai Village (すがいのむら): Left, Down, Up, Up, Right, Down,
Left, Down, Left. Now take a detour by going left twice to reach a castle.
Enter it just so you can warp back here later, but then go immediately back
outside. Go back to the fork where you can go down, then go: Down, Down,
Right, and enter Sugai Village (すがいのむら).
---Sugai Village---------------------------------------------------[sec4m]---
There is a guard in front of the town graveyard that won't let you in unless
you bring him a book. You can buy a Book (ほん) in Ootsuka Village
(おおつかのさと), so warp back there and get one if you need to. With the
Book, the guard lets you in the graveyard.
From the upper-right grave, go down one grave and left one grave. Search that
grave and you'll find the Bomb (ばくだん). To use it, you also need a Fuse
(どうかせん), which you can purchase in Yourougawa Village
(ようろうがわのさと).
With the Bomb and Fuse in hand, exit Sugai to the world map. The Cannon is
located in the rock right next to Sugai Village, but you have to face the
rock from its right-hand side. Face left toward the rock and use the Bomb.
You will receive the Cannon (おおづつ).
The next destination is Yatsu Gatake (やつがたけ), which was on the way to
Sugai Village. But before going there, make sure you have the Kouha Rosary
(こうはのじゅず) equipped on someone, which was found in Jourakuji Village.
---Yatsu Gatake----------------------------------------------------[sec4n]---
Enter the door just to the left of the entrance. Go down the stairs on left
side of room. Downstairs, follow the path to find more stairs down. Next, you
will find some stairs up near the middle of the next room. Go up some stairs
two more times. Then, go out the door on the left side of the room to reach
the main part of floor. Enter the door in the lower-right corner of the
floor. In that room, go upstairs. Go out the door on the right side to reach
the main part of this floor. Go through the door at the top of this section,
then go to the far right side of the room and go through the top door. Enter
the room in the upper-right corner, where you'll find a boss.
Boss: Younosuke (ようのすけ) - 1000 HP.
Younosuke is impossible to hit unless you have someone equipped with the
Kouha Rosary (こうはのじゅず). When that person attacks, the enemy changes
into a more powerful form.
Boss: Daija (だいじゃ) - 2500 HP.
Cast むふうまく if you have it to raise your party's defense, which is better
than the previous defense increasing spell (there's an even better one if you
happen to have level built like crazy). He has ridiculously high defense, and
you miss a lot as usual, so once again this fight takes a lot of patience.
When you win, stairs appear. Go down them and go straight down the corridor
to find stairs leading up to the world map. Follow the path to the nearby
dungeon Kobushi Gatake (こぶしがたけ) and at least enter it so you can warp
back here, but then go rest and save your game if you like.
---Kobushi Gatake--------------------------------------------------[sec4o]---
On the first floor, go down some stairs that can be found in the Southwest
corner of this large room. On the next floor, go up some stairs that can be
found in the very Southeast corner of the floor. On the next floor, go up the
stairs to the right. On the next floor, enter the second room down via the
door on it's North side. Go up the stairs in the upper-right corner of this
room. On the next floor, exit the room via the left door to get to the main
part of the floor. Go down the stairs in the upper-right corner of the room.
Enter the room at the bottom of the screen. Go up the stairs in the upper-
left corner of the room. Approach the figure on the stairs to battle six
Armored Warriors (よろい むしゃ), with 100 HP each. After winning, go up the
stairs. Enter the door at the bottom of the screen to enter a room with what
looks like a boss, but it's three Dirt Spiders (つちぐも), with 120 HP each.
Win and a figure appears who taunts you and vanishes. Go down the stairs and
you will be on the world map Southwest of Toshima Village (where you recruit
Dousetsu).
Way to the Southwest is a border crossing town. You need the Passage Papers
(つうこうてがた) to pass through. After passing, go South to find Hayato
Village (はやとのまち) with a nearby save castle.
On the world map, outside Hayato Village, search the center of the
suspiscious-looking land just Southwest of Hayato to get the Falcon Egg
(はやぶさのたまご).
Next, travel West and enter a mountain pass that goes into the mountain
ranges near Hayato, which leads to a small cave.
---Light Arrow Cave------------------------------------------------[sec4p]---
This cave is only one small room. When you approach the top of the screen,
you will see 4 statues. The game asks you to enter the Chinese symbols which
represent your characters in some order. The correct order is the same order
as you recruited your allies during the first part of the game. If you forgot
which order it was, just open your menu screen and the characters will be
listed in the same order. If you forgot which symbol represents which
character, see the "Getting Started" section of this faq.
After entering the symbols in the correct order, you get the Light Arrow
(ひかりのや).
The next goal is to defeat the last boss. However, before considering facing
the last boss, you should load up on Fruit of Immortality (ふしのみ). And I
mean as much as possible, as in sell all your unnecessary equipment or items
that take up space in your inventory and completely fill your inventory with
Fruit of Immortality.
With the Falcon Egg (はやぶさのたまご) in your inventory, go South from
Toshima Village to the suspicious looking mountain on a small peninsula. Walk
to the South side of the mountain and you will automatically hear the voice
of a falcon saying you have his egg. The falcon appears and takes you to the
entrance of Fuuketsu Cave (ふうけつ).
---Fuuketsu Cave---------------------------------------------------[sec4q]---
You will be able to warp back here the next time you visit, so it may be a
good idea to go save your game so you don't have to repeat the whole falcon
at the mountain thing (you're likely to die on the last boss).
The cave is pretty straightforward. You just look for the stairs that take
you down on each floor. The directions you take at the forks on each floor
are listed below. To be clear, I list every fork, even the ones that are
super obvious which way to go. Here are the directions for each floor:
The notation is: R = Right, L = Left, D = Down, U = Up.
1st floor: RRDDDDDLRRD
2nd floor: RURDDLD
3rd floor: RLDR
4th floor: RRDDD
5th floor: DDRUR
On the fifth, there are two stairs down next to each other. Go down the one
on the right, then continue down the linear path to find the final boss.
Boss: Tamazusa (たまずさ) - 6000 HP.
I was around level 28 when I defeated this boss, but it took a lot of
patience. Have Shino cast たつまきがえし to raise the party's defense.
Tamazuna will likely kill most of your characters with one hit, so you should
revive the dead party member each turn. That's why you stocked up on Fruit of
Immortality. Sousuke can also cast てんめいそせい to revive dead party
members. Otherwise, you just have to attack and hope that you hit the boss
enough to kill him before you run out of reviving materials. Win and that's
it! You beat the game!

Guardian Jizo (みがわりじぞう) - No effect?
