Ok - for starters, don't knick my work and write it off as your own yada yada
yada. If this walkthrough appears anywhere other than www.gameFAQs.com you'll
know it's been plagurised, modified or stolen. Offenders will be slaughtered
and offered as sacrifices to Mother. Please feel free to email any questions.
Now let's go kick some Yamibito ass...

Your primary objective is to complete the game by successfully meeting the
mission criteria for each one of the game's diverse characters. Character
storylines unfold sequentially as separate chapters and comprise 2 missions -
Mission 1 and Mission 2. Mission 1 is typically easier than Mission 2 and must
be completed before the secondary mission is unlocked.
Your secondary objective is to collect 100 archive items that are hidden
throughout that game. Archive items reveal significant details about the plot
and characters.

- The in-game map is fundamental to successful navigation. This guide will
refer to the map in most missions, so become acquainted with its orientation
and features using the in-game map help menu.

- If you are grabbed by an enemy, rapidly toggle the left thumbstick.

- If you are having difficulty aiming in sniper mode, try adjusting the
horizontal and vertical cameras in the options menu.

- Character health does not appear onscreen, so find a safe place to
regenerate after each attack.

- The start point and exit point on each level appear on your map as yellow
arrows.

- Characters may become exhausted after running for extended periods of time.
Rest briefly to regain your stamina.

- Once an archive item has been collected, you do not have to retrieve it
again if you get killed and must restart from a checkpoint.

- Some archive items require interaction. Exit the game and access the
archives from the Top Menu to interact with these items.

- Some archive items only appear if you complete the mission within a certain
time frame, so don't frig around sightseeing if you want the entire collection.

- Some actions cannot be performed unless the key item required to perform the
action has been retrieved from an earlier level/time. If you are stuck and you
suspect that a key item is missing, double-check previous levels for missing
items (eg: Yorito cannot lower the boat davit unless Ichiko has discovered the
crank handle in an earlier level).

- Siren 2 appears to contain a bug that freezes the game entirely if certain
cutscenes are skipped, so allow cutscenes to play through in their entirety.
Other gamers have also reported experiencing similar bugs, so be wary of
interrupting cutscenes.

Missions are not always sequential and depend on the order in which they are
unlocked. Scroll down to the character you are playing and search for the
corresponding mission title. Key items and map locations will appear in
CAPITALS. You must read this guide thoroughly and follow the instructions
carefully in order to achieve all 100 archive items.

03:00/Yamijima Amusement Park/Coffee Cup Ride - Maze
Mission 1: Reach the Gate of Underworld
Archive items: #50, #51

[Scrap of History Book #50] is automatically added to the archive.
Ok. This level is kinda whack. Yuri will wander off and start doing this
crazyass little dance routine thing. Sightjack her and it soon becomes apparent
that she's actually performing a rite that reveals secret invisible 'gates'
that are strategically positioned throughout the amusement park.
Each of the seven 'gates' is comprised of two parts, a top half and a bottom
half. Mamoru must rotate the two halves to create symbols that correspond to
the lyrics in Yuri's song (detailed in archive item #50).
Rotate the two halves of the first 'gate' (top - crown, bottom - flame). The
'gate' will glow momentarily if you are successful.
Turn your torch off and crouck-walk down the nearby steps to the TICKET
MACHINE. Wait for Yuri to sing and then rotate the second 'gate' (top - single
ring above water, bottom - water).
Crouch-walk back up the stairs, turn your torch on and proceed to the PARK REAR
GATE. You will encounter Tomoe Ohta (nevermind - all will be revealed) - shoot
her at close range. Steal and equip her DAIKIRI SAW and double-check that you
have your HANDGUN (you'll want to save your ammo for later).
The third 'gate' is to the left of the PARK REAR GATE by the map billboard.
Wait for Yuri to sing and then rotate the third 'gate' (top - two earrings
above wind, bottom - wind). Proceed through the PARK REAR GATE and ascend the
stairs to retrieve [Kastori Special DVD #51].
Return through the PARK REAR GATE again and use the DAIKIRI SAW to kill Tomoe
Ohta once more. Kill your torch and proceed forward down the steps and enter
the FOUNTAIN area. Slowly approach the Shibito soldiers and take them out one
at a time with the DAIKIRI SAW.
The fourth 'gate' is by the street lamp near the FOUNTAIN. Wait for Yuri to
sing and then rotate the fourth 'gate' (top - two circles above flame, bottom -
flame).
Proceed back to the PARK REAR GATE and take out Tomoe Ohta once more. Return to
the COFFEE CUP RIDE and pause halfway along the bridge. Sightjack the soldier
Shibito near the FERRIS WHEEL. Kill your torch and crouch-walk after him
until you are close enough to shoot him.
The fifth 'gate' is behind the rabbit in the FLOWER BED. Wait for Yuri to sing
and then rotate the fifth 'gate' (this time line up the two symbols, then
rotate the bottom half to the right).
The sixth 'gate' is under the street lamp by the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK. Take out
the gardening Shibito with the DAIKIRI SAW, then wait for Yuri to sing.
Rotate the sixth 'gate' (this time complete the symbol of a bird flying above a
pyramid).
Incapacitate the soldier Shibito near the FLOWER BED once more and proceed
onward to the FERRIS WHEEL. The seventh and final 'gate' is near the benches.
Wait for Yuri to sing and then rotate the seventh 'gate' (this time complete
the symbol of the princess, then turn the bottom half to the left).
Get ready for some crazy shit...

Mission 2: Acquire a glimpse of Mother
Archive items: #52, #62

During this level, whenever you get the chance, swap your gun for another that
has more ammo. Command Yuri to wait at the start point, then crouch-walk slowly
down the stairs to the TICKET MACHINE. Pop the soldier Shibito in the head,
knick his gun and examine the TICKET MACHINE for SMALL CHANGE.
Return to Yuri and command her to follow you. Tomoe Ohta may make an appearance
at this stage - if so, pop her one too.
Pause on the bridge and sightjack the soldier Shibito who blocks your passage
to the ELECTRIC RIDE. Kill him and command Yuri to wait on the western side
of the FERRIS WHEEL. There you will find a BATTERY. Kill your torch and crouch-
walk down the stairs to the ELECTRIC RIDE. Place the BATTERY in the ELECTRIC
RIDE and place the SMALL CHANGE in the ride. Crouch-run back to Yuri, command
her to follow you, then sightjack the sniper Shibito who walks over to
investigate the ELECTRIC RIDE. Crouch-run behind his back and pop him in the
head. Steal his gun and proceed to CUSTODIAN'S SHACK and retrieve the PLIERS.
Return to the TICKET MACHINE and leave via the PARK FRONT GATE, ensuring that
you have enough ammo to gun down the soldier Shibito who guards the PARK
FRONT GATE. [Mother's Scale #52] and [Old Scroll - Chapter 2 #62] are
automatically added to the archive.

15:00/Bright Win/Forward Deck - Hate
Mission 1: Defeat Tomoe Ohta
Archive items: #79

Run through the STARBOARD DECK and enter the ENTRANCE. Retrieve the HANDGUN
from behind the reception desk. You must now retrieve the RIFLE from the
Yamibito who stands just inside the doorway leading to the 1st floor corridor,
just a few feet away from the THIRD-CLASS CABIN. Use your torch to blind him,
then shoot him and steal his RIFLE. Inspect the television in the THIRD-CLASS
CABIN to get [SN-AG1999 AGE MANIAC #79].
Return to the ENTRANCE and exit via the northern doorway. Proceed downstairs to
the corridor outside the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM.
Tomoe has now transformed into a dog Yamibito and is invulnerable to front-on
attacks - she must be attacked from either the side or behind. Tomoe lurks in
the ENGINE ROOM which comprises three basement levels. Run into the ENGINE ROOM
with your torch on and dart past her. Run to the lowest level and wait at the
side of the stairs. When Tomoe descends the stairs, shoot her in the side. If
you miss your opportunity, run back up the stairs and lure her back down again.

Mission 2: Annihilate Yamirei and Yamibito
Archive items: #77, #78

Run through the STARBOARD DECK and enter the ENTRANCE. Retrieve the HANDGUN
from behind the reception desk. You must now retrieve the RIFLE from the
Yamibito who stands just inside the doorway leading to the 1st floor corridor,
just a few feet away from the THIRD-CLASS CABIN. Use your torch to blind him,
then shoot him and steal his RIFLE. From this point on, try to conserve ammo
and use your melee weapon as much as possible.
Run back to the reception desk and then through the open doorway on the
southern side of the ship. Descend the stairs to B2 and enter the ENGINE
CONTROL ROOM via the southern door. Switch on the main power source to
illuminate the ship. Inspect the [Security Monitor #78] in front of the swivel
chair. Kill the Yamirei near the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM.
Retrace your steps to the ENTRANCE and kill the Yamirei near the FIRST FLOOR
CABIN. Move upstairs and kill the Yamirei near the SECOND FLOOR CABIN (ensure
you activate the BREAKER switch on the wall near the SECOND-CLASS CABIN ).
Head for the SECOND-CLASS CABIN on the second floor and retrieve the
[Vermillion Bracelet #77].
Move back downstairs to the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM and use the PHONE to place a
call through to the ENGINE ROOM. Tomoe will investigate the phone on the lowest
level in the ENGINE ROOM, allowing you easy access. Drop the EXTINGUISHER on
her head and kill the Yamirei in the ENGINE ROOM.
Return to the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM and turn off the lights, then return to the
first floor and kill the remaining three Yamibitos.

Mission 1: Reach the top of the tower with Ikuko Kifune
Archive items: #89

Immediately about-face and run up the stairs until you arrive at a fork. Take
the right path and follow it to OHTA'S HOUSE. Wait outside OHTA'S HOUSE and
battle the Yamirei with your melee weapon until you receive the prompt to enter
OHTA'S HOUSE. Instead of entering OHTA'S HOUSE, retrace your steps to the start
point and enter the building. Ascend the stairs and drop through the opening at
the top of the stairs. Equip your gun and enter the alternate doorway into
OHTA'S HOUSE to trigger a cutscene.
Sprint into the room and dart around Tomoe. Stand near the back wall and blast
Tomoe in the back with a full clip as she attacks Ikuko.

Mission 2: Reach the top of the tower with Ikuko Kifune
Archive items: #5, #90

Immediately about-face and run up the stairs until you arrive at a fork. Take
the right path and follow it to OHTA'S HOUSE. Dash past Tomoe into the OHTA
HOUSE and pummel her back with bullets. Allow the Yamirei to get between you
and Tomoe but shoot the Yamirei who threaten Ikuko.
Once Tomoe is (temporarily) dead, retrieve the ANUNNAKI REMAINS (CLAW) from the
tree trunk. Retrieve [The Ohta Family Code #90] from the adjoining room and
retrace your steps back to the fork in the stairwell (Tomoe will be back on her
feet by now, so don't frig around in here).
Take the other fork down the stairs to the CRANE and allow Ikuko to use the
CRANE KEY on the switch box in the corner. Activate the switch and ride the
CRANE upwards. Ascend the stairs and help Ikuko to scale the ledge by pulling
her up. Take the left path to the exit point and ignore Ichiko's gun fire.

22:00/Shinari Mountain/Pylon #4 - Collapse
Mission 1: Defeat Mother
Archive items: #92, #93, #96

Press triangle to bring up the action menu, then switch characters so that you
are in control of Ikuko. Sightjack Mother and wait for her vision to clear.
When Mother can see with clarity, press R3 to possess Mother (this makes her
immobile for a few seconds). Immediately return control to Mamuro and blast
Mother with the gun.
When Akiko arrives, protect her from the Yamirei until she finds an object.
When the characters are each presented with ANNAKI REMAINS (HORN), control
Mamoru and climb to the highest level.
Control Ikuko and sighjack Mother. Make Mother stop just within reach of
Mamoru, then allow Mamoru to swing the ANNAKI REMAINS (HORN) at her head. After
three strikes Mother will fall to the ground. At this point, quickly switch
control to Ikuko and run to Mother's body. Whack Mother's body with the ANNAKI
REMAINS (HORN).
Repeat the process and the second time Mother falls you will be prompted to
press 'X' when you are a certain distance away from her body (do not press 'R1'
to aim - just press 'X' when instructed).
The final attack on Mother must be performed by Mamoru, so lead him up to the
highest level, use Ikuko to sighjack Mother, then allow Mamoru to strike Mother
three times again when she is within reach. Mamoru must now race to the ground
level and use his own sword to make the final blow (if Mamoru has not suffered
any damage prior to this point he may drop to the ground without dying).
You will be prompted to press 'X'when you are a certain distance away from her
body (do not press 'R1' to aim - just press 'X' when instructed).
While you are doing all this, Yamirei will swarm around you as well, so make
them a priority. Only sightjack Mother when the area is clear of Yamirei. Hug
the central rock formation to avoid Mother's attacks. [ENDING #2].
[Annaki #92], [Photo of Shu and Kanae #93] and [Letter to Ikuko #96] are

08:00/Underworld - Escape
Mission 1: Escape from Yamijima Amusement Park with Mamoru Itsuki
Archive items: #44, #63, #64, #65

Approach the bridge leading to the COFFEE CUP RIDE and pay attention to the
brief tutorial on how to sightjack and possess a Shibito. Crouch and hide under
the trees to the east of the GATE OF UNDERWORLD.
Possess the Shibito (press R3) on the bridge and make him walk to the ELECTRIC
RIDE and kill the sniper Shibito who is posted there. Unpossess him and wait
for him to return to his original position on the bridge. As he descends the
stairs to the bridge, quickly crouch-run to the ELECTRIC RIDE and retrieve the
[Amusement Park Pamphlet #63] from the billboard beside the ELECTRIC RIDE. You
cannot steal the sniper's gun, so run over to the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK and trigger
the cutscene. Say hello to the Yamirei.
Stand to the side of the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK and possess the Shibito who hides
inside. Make him walk up to the GATE OF UNDERWORLD. Sneak into the CUSTODIAN'S
SHACK and retrieve the GOLF CLUB. Wait for Slappy to return, knock him out and
knick his RIFLE BAYONET. Approach the FLOWER BED to trigger another cutscene.
Run to the PARK REAR GATE and retrieve the PADLOCK KEY from the top of the
stairs beyond the gate. Remember that Shiryos can also be slashed.
Now - this next bit requires a bit of patience (he understated). I recall
something like 15 attempts, as there are many unpredictable factors. Only the
those who persevere (and have a little luck on their side) will succeed.
Enter sightjack and possess the Shibito soldier who watches over the
FOUNTAIN AREA (positioned at the top of the steps near the rear gate).
Make the Shibito walk down the steps and investigate the northern side of the
steps. Switch the breaker off and the Yamirei will soon swarm around him.
Now is your chance - run downstairs to the food stand and examine it for
[Mbembe Cola Bottle Cap #64.] Quickly open the archives menu and examine #64
to see if the underside of the bottlecap reveals 'Congratulations! You're a
lucky winner!'. If not, restart the mission from the checkpoint and try again.
Don't worry about getting the PADLOCK KEY from behind the PARK REAR GATE a
second time - you don't need to fetch it twice.
Once you have the lucky bottle cap, examine the poster by the PARK REAR GATE to
get [Space Cold War Poster #65]. Even if you get killed after you have found
the lucky bottle cap, it will always remain in your archives so you do not have
to repeat the whole level again to be able to examine the poster.
Exit the level via the COFFEE CUP RIDE and the PARK FRONT GATE, but be sure to
possess the soldier Shibito near the FOUNTAIN beforehand to ensure that he is a
safe distance away. [Ikuko's Licence #44] is automatically added to the
archive.

Mission 2: Destroy all the stone markers
Archive items: #68

Note: When a gate is destroyed it is destroyed - you don't need to repeat the
action if you die.
Possess the shoveling soldier Shibito near the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK and make him
whack the cop Shibito near the ELECTRIC RIDE. Leave sightjack and retrieve
the HANDGUN from the cop Shibito. Follow the soldier Shibito back to the
CUSTODIAN'S SHACK, shoot him and steal his SHOVEL. Destroy the STONE MARKER
near the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK with the SHOVEL. Shoot the cop Shibito near the
ELECTRIC RIDE and destroy the STONE MARKER in the FLOWER BED. Run over to the
STONE MARKER near the GATE OF UNDERWORLD and destroy it.
Approach the bridge that leads to the COFFEE CUP RIDE to trigger a cutscene.
Possess the soldier Shibito on the bridge and make him snipe the STONE MARKER
near the FOUNTAIN and the soldier Shibito who watches over the FOUNTAIN near
the PARK FRONT GATE.
Sneak up beside the soldier Shibito on the bridge and pop him in the head.
Destroy the remaining STONE MARKERS near the COFFEE CUP RIDE, the TICKET
MACHINE and the PARK REAR GATE. [Ikuko's Yearbook #68] is automatically added
to the archive once the final marker has been destroyed.

the Yamibito, steal his weapon and ascend the stairs to the padlocked gate.
Remove the padlock by bashing it with the GOLF CLUB and enter the building.
Descend the stairs and destroy the Yamireis. Wait quietly outside the MINING
STATION LOUNGE and possess the dog Shibito who roams inside. Lead the possessed
dog Yamibito out the door and down the staircases to the lower yard. Quickly
run into the MINING STATION LOUNGE and retrieve the CRANE KEY. Move back
upstairs and retrace your steps through the once padlocked gate. Descend the
steps and look for a ladder that leads down to the MINE TOWER TOP LEVEL. Pluck

the MINE TOWER STOREROOM. Retrieve the HANDGUN from the shelf and [Yamijima
Folklore #87] from the desk.
Descend the stairs, equip a melee weapon and wait behind the locked door that
opens onto the PLAZA. Sightjack the wandering Yamibito and wait for him to
finish walking up the stone steps. Quickly dash out and kill three or four
Yamirei, then return to the safety of the stairwell before the Yamibito returns
(remember to close the door). Repeat this process until the PLAZA is clear of
Yamirei. When the Yamirei are all dead, equip the HANDGUN and wait for the
Yamibito the walk back up the stone steps. Crouch-run behind him and shoot him
as he ascends the metal stairway.
Steal his gun and ascend the metal stairway to the top. Jump across to the
building and drop down to the lower level to access the stairway (Ikuko can't
reach the window ledges). Ascend the stairs to the rooftop but wait just inside
the doorway before venturing onto the rooftop. Sightjack Shigeru Fujita and
watch his movements through the doorway. He will study the gap in the wall near
the doorway, then walk in a northerly direction. As he is walking away from the
gap, crouch-run behind him and use the torch/gun combo to destroy him.

sneak behind him and scoot up the stairs to the padlocked gate.
Open the gate and sprint down the stairwell until you arrive at a locked door
at the very bottom of the courtyard in the MINING STATION. Enter the locked
door that opens onto the PLAZA and crouch-run around to your left. Ascend the
metal stairway to the top.
Jump across to the building and drop down to the lower level. Nearby is a
padlocked door that leads to the OFFICE BLDG STORAGE. Drop the PADLOCK KEY
through the window and possess the dog Yamibito who lurks inside so that she
retrieves the PADLOCK KEY and unlocks (but does not open) the door. Send her
up the interior stairwell and enter the OFFICE BLDG STORAGE to retrieve

Open the door to the STARBOARD DECK but take a few steps backwards - a sniper
Shibito situated halfway along the STARBOARD DECK has you in his sights. Aim
and press 'up' to snipe him in the head. As you pass his body, swap his gun for
the DAIKIRI SAW.
Proceed through the door at the west end of the STARBOARD DECK, turn left and
make your way through the open doorway and upstairs to the WHEELHOUSE.
Approach the viewing window and use the SIGNAL LAMP to protect Yuri from the
Shiryos on the FORWARD DECK (the light destroys them).
Retrace your steps and return downstairs to the STARBOARD DECK, then proceed to

hide and wait for Tomoe to unlock it). Retrieve the FLARES from starboard side
of the FORWARD DECK and return to the STARBOARD DECK.
Remain on this level and proceed through to the ENTRANCE. Behind the reception
desk you will find [Passenger's Videotape #47]. Move to the THIRD-CLASS CABIN
and retrieve [Shikai News #48] from the television set. Move upstairs to the
2nd floor to find [Heart-shaped Letter #45] lying on the floor near the
SECOND-CLASS CABIN. Enter the 2nd floor SECOND-CLASS CABIN to find [Tournament

the stairs to B2. Retrieve Yuri from the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM.
Return to the STARBOARD DECK. Proceed through the door at the west end of the
STARBOARD DECK, turn left and make your way through the open doorway. Run
downstairs to the FREIGHT ROOM and shoot the glass in the locked door at the
bottom of the stairwell. Activate the FREIGHT ELEVATOR and ride it down to the
FREIGHT ROOM. Kill the Shibito and exit the level via the hole in the hull near
the loading bay door.

Walk forward and you will encounter Tomoe Ohta. Wait for Tomoe to enter the
ENGINE CONTROL ROOM, then run past the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM and head north
towards the stairs that lead upward to the STARBOARD DECK. Gun down the Shibito
on the stairwell.
The door leading to the STARBOARD DECK will be guarded by a sniper Shibito and
a patroling Shibito, so remain halfway up the stairs and snipe them in the head
before they get a shot at you. The next sniper Shibito is posted beside the
BOAT DAVIT. Remain on the stairwell and pop him in the head.
When the coast is clear, steal the HUNTER'S SNIPER RIFLE from the Shibito
nearest the BOAT DAVIT and leave him your RIFLE BAYONET. Proceed through the
door at the west end of the STARBOARD DECK, turn left and make your way through
the open doorway and upstairs to the WHEELHOUSE.
Approach the viewing window and use the SIGNAL LAMP to protect Yuri from the
Shiryos on the FORWARD DECK (the light destroys them).
Retrace your steps and return downstairs to the STARBOARD DECK. Wait for the
Shibito to reanimate, then kill them again. Descend the stairs and retrieve
Yuri from the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM.
Your final destination is the BOAT DAVIT on the STARBOARD DECK. Return to the

Inspect the northern corner of the CHILDREN'S PARK for [Time Capsule Map #76].
Proceed forward to the A-BUILDING and open (but do not enter) the western door.
Stand just west of the storage shed, between the rectangular metal plate and
the fence. Crouch and shout to attract the attention of the Yamibito on the

Run forward and drop down into the PLAZA. Make your way towards the steps to

move the LOCKER away from the doorway. Enter the opposite door that leads onto
the MINING STATION ROOF. Run forward and climb up onto the ledge. Follow this
path until you trigger a cutscene.
As Mamoru, ascend the long staircase and jump the gap to the OFFICE BUILDING.
Lure Tomoe out the window onto the lower ledge, then run north and climb up
into the building. Quickly descend the staircase inside the OFFICE BUILDING and
retrieve the HATCHET from the lowest level.
Move back upstairs and lure the dog Yamibito back out of the window onto the
lower ledge, then run north again and climb back up into the building. This
time locate the [Pylon Drawings #84] near the desk in the room the dog
Yamibito was guarding and move up the stairs to the OFFICE BLDG ROOF. Jump down
through the gap in the wall and follow the path along the left fork until you
notice Yorito shooting from another ledge. Stand at the edge of the scaffolding
and shout, then quickly run back a few metres to safety. If you successfully
distracted the sniper you will receive a prompt instructing you to climb the
pylon.
Retrace your steps to the last fork and ascend the stairs. Kill the lone
Yamibito and sightjack the armed Yamibito who stares at the telephone pole
and the crow on the railing. When he stares at the crow and moves leftwards,
ascend the long flight of stairs. Move toward the large concrete structure with
the narrow opening. Sightjack the sniper Yamibito on the other side and ambush
him with the gun and torch when he is paused nearest the concrete structure.
Ascend the remaining stairs to complete the level.

Run forward and drop down into the PLAZA. Make your way towards the steps to

move the LOCKER away from the doorway. Enter the opposite door that leads onto
the MINING STATION ROOF. Run forward and climb up onto the ledge. Follow this
path until you trigger a cutscene.
As Mamoru, ascend the long staircase and jump the gap to the OFFICE BUILDING.
Wait on the ledge and attract the attention of the armed Yamibito inside the
OFFICE BUILDING. Hide on the right side of the opening and shoot him when he
drops down to the lower level. Steal his PISTOL. Ascend the stairs to the
OFFICE BLDG ROOF and jump down through the gap in the wall. Follow the path
along the left fork until you notice Yorito shooting from another ledge. Stand
at the edge of the scaffolding and shout, then quickly run back a few metres to
safety. If you successfully distracted the sniper you will receive a prompt
instructing you to climb the pylon.
Retrace your steps to the last fork and ascend the stairs until you arrive at a
large concrete structure with a narrow opening. Pass through the opening and
ascend the remaining stairs to reach the top of the SPIDER'S THREAD.
Killing Tsuneo Ohta is a bugger of a task that requires the patience of a
saint. Not that you'll be able to see, but anyway - sprint down the stairs to
the lowest level and hide in the north-east corner so that you are concealed
from view. Only use your torch when you are enveloped in Tsuneo's black cloud
and are trying to outrun him, or when you need to temporarily blind him to
make a quick getaway.
Sightjack Tsuneo and study his movements - to kill him, you must crouch-run up
behind him and pummel him with bullets (like all Kou-Yamibito he is impervious
to front-on attacks). It is MUCH easier to track and kill him going downstairs
than to follow him upstairs.
It will take a few attempts to bring him down, so the second he detects you,
run in the opposite direction and hide at either the highest or lowest point of
the SPIDER'S THREAD, depending on where you are. If he has you cornered at the
top, blind him with your torch and dart away to the side. If he has you
cornered at the bottom, blind him with your torch and dart around in a circle
to the ledge. When Tsuneo is descending from the highest point (outside on the
platform) your best bet is to crouch-walk counter-clockwise around the tiered
loop and sneak up behind him as he descends to the lower levels. Use the wall
to shield yourself from his view.
This level is so much easier if you still have the PISTOL in your possession.
Killing Tsuneo with the HANDGUN can take forever.

Missions are not always sequential and depend on the order in which they are
unlocked. Scroll down to the character you are playing and search for the
corresponding mission title. Key items and map locations will appear in
CAPITALS. You must read this guide thoroughly and follow the instructions
carefully in order to achieve all 100 archive items.

It is very difficult completing HARD MODE missions without losing a life. A
lot of trial and error is required before the safest route is discovered.
However , once an archive item or stage is unlocked, it will remain unlocked
even if you die before completing the rest of the mission (IF you save your
game). Unfortunately, checkpoints and some key items cannot be saved if you
fail to complete a mission. Checkpoints will disappear and some key items will
return to their default positions if you quit the game or restart the mission.

Ok. This level is kinda whack. Yuri will wander off and start doing this
crazyass little dance routine thing. Sightjack her and it soon becomes apparent
that she's actually performing a rite that reveals secret invisible 'gates'
that are strategically positioned throughout the amusement park.
Each of the seven 'gates' is comprised of two parts, a top half and a bottom
half. Mamoru must rotate the two halves to create symbols that correspond to
the lyrics in Yuri's song (detailed in archive item #50).
Rotate the two halves of the first 'gate' (top - crown, bottom - flame). The
'gate' will glow momentarily if you are successful.
Turn your torch off and crouck-walk down the nearby steps to the TICKET
MACHINE. Wait for Yuri to sing and then rotate the second 'gate' (top - single
ring above water, bottom - water).
Crouch-walk back up the stairs, turn your torch on and proceed to the PARK REAR
GATE. You will encounter Tomoe Ohta - shoot her at close range. Steal and equip
her DAIKIRI SAW and double-check that you have your HANDGUN (you'll want to
save your ammo for later).
The third 'gate' is to the left of the PARK REAR GATE by the map billboard.
Wait for Yuri to sing and then rotate the third 'gate' (top - two earrings
above wind, bottom - wind). Proceed through the PARK REAR GATE and ascend the
stairs to retrieve [Kastori Special DVD #51].
Return through the PARK REAR GATE again and use the DAIKIRI SAW to kill Tomoe
Ohta once more. Kill your torch and return to the COFFEE CUP RIDE. Crouch-walk
down the steps to the PARK FRONT GATE and shoot the soldier Shibito who watches
over the FOUNTAIN area. Run back around to the area under the bridge and shoot
the soldier Shibito as he descends the stairs to the FOUNTAIN area. Quickly
lead Yuri to the street lamp near the FOUNTAIN, the location of the fourth
'gate'. Wait for Yuri to sing and then rotate the fourth 'gate' (top - two
circles above flame, bottom - flame). Keep an eye on the soldier Shibito near
the PARK FRONT GATE as he will revive any second - shoot any Shiryo that
attempt reanimation.
Return to the COFFEE CUP RIDE, then pause halfway along the bridge to the
FERRIS WHEEL. Sightjack the Shibito soldier who patrols the FERRIS WHEEL area
and follow him down the stairs to the FLOWER BED. Kill him and step up onto the
FLOWER BED. The fifth 'gate' is behind the rabbit in the FLOWER BED. Wait for
Yuri to sing and then rotate the fifth 'gate' (this time line up the two
symbols, then rotate the bottom half to the right).
The sixth 'gate' is under the street lamp by the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK. Take out
the gardening Shibito, then wait for Yuri to sing. Rotate the sixth 'gate'
(this time complete the symbol of a bird flying above a pyramid).
Incapacitate the Shibito near the FLOWER BED once more and proceed onward to
the FERRIS WHEEL. The seventh and final 'gate' is near the benches. Wait for
Yuri to sing and then rotate the seventh 'gate' (this time complete the symbol
of the princess, then turn the bottom half to the left). Get ready for some
crazy shit...

Mission 2: Acquire a glimpse of Mother

During this level, whenever you get the chance, swap your gun for another that
has more ammo. Command Yuri to wait at the start point, then crouch-walk slowly
down the stairs to the TICKET MACHINE. Pop the soldier Shibito in the head,
knick his gun and examine the TICKET MACHINE for SMALL CHANGE.
Return to Yuri and command her to follow you. Tomoe Ohta may make an appearance
at this stage - if so, pop her one too.
Pause halfway along the bridge that leads to the FERRIS WHEEL. Sightjack the</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
soldier Shibito near the FERRIS WHEEL and kill him from behind.
Command Yuri to wait on the western side of the FERRIS WHEEL. There you will
find a BATTERY. Kill your torch and crouch-walk down the stairs to the ELECTRIC
RIDE. Place the BATTERY in the ELECTRIC RIDE and place the SMALL CHANGE in the
ride. Crouch-run back to Yuri, command her to follow you, then sightjack the
sniper Shibito who walks over to investigate the ELECTRIC RIDE. Crouch-run
behind his back and pop him in the head. Steal his RIFLE and proceed to the
CUSTODIAN'S SHACK and retrieve the PLIERS. Return to the TICKET MACHINE and
leave via the PARK FRONT GATE, ensuring that you have enough ammo to gun down

this, sprint to the west end of the 2nd floor corridor and switch on the
CIRCUIT BREAKER. Hide in the SECOND-CLASS CABIN and funnel the Yamirei towards
you. Retrieve the [Vermillion Bracelet #77].
Move back downstairs to the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM and use the PHONE to place a
call through to the ENGINE ROOM. Tomoe will investigate the phone on the lowest
level in the ENGINE ROOM, allowing you easier access.
Sneak into the ENGINE ROOM and drop the FIRE EXTINGUISHERS on the Yamibito and
Tomoe (both items are directly ahead when you enter the southern door to the
ENGINE ROOM. Race downstairs and shoot as many Yamirei as you can with the
HANDGUN, then quickly swap the IRON PIPE for the Yamibito's PISTOL. Gun down
the remaining Yamirei, then return upstairs to the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM. Get
killed to activate the CHECKPOINT.
You must now move through the ship and destroy the Yamibito one by one. Place
another call through to the ENGINE ROOM, then drop the FIRE EXTINGUISHERS on
Tomoe and the Yamibito again. Retrieve his PISTOL, then destroy the three
Yamibito on the 1st floor. Finally, use the RIFLE to take out Tomoe in the

are in control of Ikuko. Sightjack Mother and wait for her vision to clear.
When Mother can see with clarity, press R3 to possess Mother (this makes her
immobile for a few seconds). Immediately return control to Mamuro and blast
Mother with the gun.
When Akiko arrives, protect her from the Yamirei until she finds an object.
When the characters are each presented with ANNAKI REMAINS (HORN), control
Mamoru and climb to the highest level.
Control Ikuko and sighjack Mother. Make Mother stop just within reach of
Mamoru, then allow Mamoru to swing the ANNAKI REMAINS (HORN) at her head. After
three strikes Mother will fall to the ground. At this point, quickly switch
control to Ikuko and run to Mother's body. Ikuko must attack Mother twice - the
first time, simply place blows on Mother's body. The second time Mother drops
to the ground you will be prompted to press 'X' when you are a certain distance
away from her body (do not press 'R1' to aim - just press 'X' when instructed).
The final attack on Mother must be performed by Mamoru, so lead him up to the

three times again when she is within reach. Mamoru must now drop to the ground
level and use his own sword to make the final blow (ensure that Mamoru has not
sustained any damage prior to this or he will be killed by the fall). You will
be prompted to press 'X'when you are a certain distance away from Mother's
body (do not press 'R1' to aim - just press 'X' when instructed).
While you are doing all this, Yamirei will swarm around you as well, so make

Approach the bridge leading to the COFFEE CUP RIDE and pay attention to the
brief tutorial on how to sightjack and possess a Shibito. Crouch and hide under
the trees to the east of the GATE OF UNDERWORLD.
Possess the Shibito (press R3) on the bridge and make him walk to the ELECTRIC
RIDE and kill the sniper Shibito who is posted there. Unpossess him and wait
for him to return to his original position on the bridge. As he descends the
stairs to the bridge, quickly crouch-run to the ELECTRIC RIDE and retrieve the
[Amusement Park Pamphlet #63] from the billboard beside the ELECTRIC RIDE. You
cannot steal the sniper's gun, so run over to the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK and trigger
the cutscene. Say hello to the Yamirei.
Stand to the side of the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK and possess the Shibito who hides
inside. Make him walk up to the GATE OF UNDERWORLD. Sneak into the CUSTODIAN'S
SHACK and retrieve the GOLF CLUB. Wait for Slappy to return, knock him out and
knick his RIFLE BAYONET. Approach the FLOWER BED to trigger another cutscene.
Run to the PARK REAR GATE and retrieve the PADLOCK KEY from the top of the
stairs beyond the gate. Remember that Shiryos can also be slashed.
Now - this next bit requires a bit of patience (he understated). I recall
something like 15 attempts, as there are many unpredictable factors. Only the
those who persevere (and have a little luck on their side) will succeed.
Enter sightjack and possess the Shibito soldier who watches over the
FOUNTAIN AREA (positioned at the top of the steps near the rear gate).
Make the Shibito walk down the steps and investigate the northern side of the
steps. Switch the breaker off and the Yamirei will soon swarm around him.
Now is your chance - run downstairs to the food stand and examine it for
[Mbembe Cola Bottle Cap #64.] Quickly open the archives menu and examine #64
to see if the underside of the bottlecap reveals 'Congratulations! You're a
lucky winner!'. If not, restart the mission from the checkpoint and try again.
Don't worry about getting the PADLOCK KEY from behind the PARK REAR GATE a
second time - you don't need to fetch it twice.
Once you have the lucky bottle cap, examine the poster by the PARK REAR GATE to
get [Space Cold War Poster #65]. Even if you get killed after you have found
the lucky bottle cap, it will always remain in your archives so you do not have
to repeat the whole level again to be able to examine the poster.
Exit the level via the COFFEE CUP RIDE and the PARK FRONT GATE, but be sure to
possess the soldier Shibito near the FOUNTAIN beforehand to ensure that he is a
safe distance away. [Ikuko's Licence #44] is automatically added to the

Possess the shoveling soldier Shibito near the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK and make him
whack the cop Shibito near the ELECTRIC RIDE. Leave sightjack and retrieve
the HANDGUN from the cop Shibito. Follow the soldier Shibito back to the
CUSTODIAN'S SHACK, shoot him and steal his SHOVEL. Destroy the STONE MARKER
near the CUSTODIAN'S SHACK with the SHOVEL. Shoot the cop Shibito near the
ELECTRIC RIDE and destroy the STONE MARKER in the FLOWER BED. Run over to the
STONE MARKER near the GATE OF UNDERWORLD and destroy it.
Approach the bridge that leads to the COFFEE CUP RIDE to trigger a cutscene.
Possess the soldier Shibito on the bridge and make him snipe the STONE MARKER
near the FOUNTAIN and the soldier Shibito who watches over the FOUNTAIN near
the PARK FRONT GATE.
Sneak up beside the soldier Shibito on the bridge and pop him in the head.
Destroy the remaining STONE MARKERS near the COFFEE CUP RIDE, the TICKET

Run up to the fourth stairway platform and drop down onto the lower level. Club
the Yamibito, steal his weapon and ascend the stairs to the padlocked gate.
Remove the padlock by bashing it with the GOLF CLUB and enter the building.
Descend the stairs to the lowest level and funnel the Yamireis towards, using
the club as your weapon of choice (longer reach). You must destroy every
Yamirei before you can proceed, especially those on the same level as the
MINING STATION LOUNGE.
Once all the Yamirei are dead, wait quietly in the corner outside the MINING
STATION LOUNGE and kill the wandering Yamibito who patrols the stairwell. Once
he is dead, possess the dog Yamibito who lurks inside the MINING STATION
LOUNGE.
Lead the possessed dog Yamibito out the door and down the staircases to the
lower yard. Quickly run into the MINING STATION LOUNGE and retrieve the CRANE
KEY. Pause for a moment to recover your breath, then sprint back upstairs and
through the once padlocked gate. Descend the steps and look for a ladder that
leads down to the MINE TOWER TOP LEVEL. Pluck the ANUNNAKI REMAINS (CLAW) from
the tree trunk, descend the stairs and enter the MINE TOWER STOREROOM. Retrieve
the HANDGUN from the shelf and [Yamijima Folklore #87] from the desk. Note: If
you get killed at this point, all key items should still be in your possession.
Descend the stairs, equip the GOLF CLUB and wait behind the locked door that
opens onto the PLAZA. Sightjack the wandering Yamibito and wait for him to
finish walking up the stone steps. Quickly dash out and kill three or four
Yamirei, then return to the safety of the stairwell before the Yamibito returns
(remember to close the door). Repeat this process until the PLAZA is clear of
Yamirei. When the Yamirei are all dead, equip the HANDGUN and wait for the
Yamibito the walk back up the stone steps. Crouch-run behind him and shoot him
as he ascends the metal stairway.
Steal his MACHINE PISTOL and ascend the metal stairway to the top. Jump across
to the building and drop down to the lower level to access the stairway (Ikuko
can't reach the window ledges). Ascend the stairs to the rooftop but wait just
inside the doorway before venturing onto the rooftop. Sightjack Shigeru Fujita
and watch his movements through the doorway. He will study the gap in the wall
near the doorway, then walk in a northerly direction. As he is walking away
from the gap, crouch-run behind him and use the torch/gun combo to destroy him.
You must use a full clip (25 bullets) at close range to kill him.
Note: You can only kill Shigeru with the MACHINE PISTOL. If you get killed,
return downstairs to the large metal platform and crouch so that you are out
of sight. Wait for the armed Yamibito to ascend the stairs, then crouch-run
after him as he begins his descent. You should be able to gun him down before
he reaches the bottom of the stairs. Steal the MACHINE PISTOL and return to
the rooftop.

CONTROL ROOM and head north. Make your way upstairs towards the STARBOARD DECK
and take out the Shibito on the stairwell with the DAIKIRI SAW. Position
yourself on the stairway so that you can just see through the top of the

Wait for Tomoe to enter the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM, then hunt her down and knock
her out - be wary, as she won't play dead for long. Swap your RIFLE BAYONET for
the DAIKIRI SAW and unlock the south door in the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM.
Leave the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM and head north. Make your way upstairs towards
the STARBOARD DECK and take out the Shibito on the stairwell with the DAIKIRI
SAW. Position yourself on the stairway so that you can just see through the
top of the doorway that opens onto the STARBOARD DECK. When a sniper Shibito
appears, pop him in the head with your RIFLE. Stand on the top step and aim to
the left of the BOAT DAVIT on the STRABOARD DECK to take out the other sniper
Shibito. As you pass his body, swap his gun for the DAIKIRI SAW.
Proceed through the door at the west end of the STARBOARD DECK, turn left and
make your way through the open doorway and upstairs to the WHEELHOUSE.
Approach the viewing window and use the SIGNAL LAMP to protect Yuri from the
Shiryos on the FORWARD DECK (the light destroys them).
Restart at the CHECKPOINT. Two sniper Shibito still guard the STARBOARD DECK
and they must be dealt with first before you can rescue Yuri from the ENGINE
CONTROL ROOM. Return through the 1st floor corridor to the west end of the
STARBOARD DECK. Open the west end door to the STARBOARD DECK and quickly dart
back down the short flight of stairs. The sniper near the BOAT DAVIT will
detect you, but he will soon lose interest and walk eastwards. As he does so,
snipe him in the back through the open doorway. When he goes down, move forward
slowly and snipe the other sniper who is posted at the east end of the
STARBOARD DECK. As you pass by the body near the BOAT DAVIT, swap your RIFLE
BAYONET for his RIFLE. Run through the STARBOARD DECK, descend the stairs to B2
and retrieve Yuri from the ENGINE CONTROL ROOM.
Your final destination is the BOAT DAVIT on the STARBOARD DECK. Return to the
STARBOARD DECK, but watch over the bodies of the Shibitos and pop them the
second they stir. When all the Shibito are immobilised, escape via the BOAT
DAVIT. [Yorito's I.D. #53] will automatically be added to the archive.

As Mamoru, ascend the long staircase and jump the gap to the OFFICE BUILDING.
Lure Tomoe out the window onto the lower ledge, then run north and climb up
into the building. Quickly descend the staircase inside the OFFICE BUILDING and
retrieve the HATCHET from the lowest level.
Move back upstairs and stand outside the left window on the lower ledge. Kill
the remaining Yamirei and wait for the dog Yamibito to walk to the right of the
sketches on the wall. Quickly climb up through the opening and examine the
sketches to get [Pylon Drawings #84]. Jump back out the window and climb up
into the other opening, ensuring that the dog Yamibito is behind you. Race back
to the sketches but this time turn right and run up the stairs. Jump down
through the gap in the wall and follow the path along the left fork until you
notice Yorito shooting from another ledge. Stand at the edge of the scaffolding
and shout, then quickly run back a few metres to safety. If you successfully
distracted the sniper you will receive a prompt instructing you to climb the
pylon.
Retrace your steps to the last fork and ascend the stairs. Kill the lone
Yamibito and sightjack the armed Yamibito who stares at the telephone pole
and the crow on the railing. When he stares at the crow and moves leftwards,
ascend the long flight of stairs. Move toward the large concrete structure with
the narrow opening. Sightjack the sniper Yamibito on the other side and ambush
him with the gun and torch when he is paused nearest the concrete structure.
Ascend the remaining stairs to complete the level.

Mission 2: Destroy Tsuneo Ohta

racing past any Yamirei that get in your way. Ignore the LOCKER at the top of
the stairs and enter the opposite door that leads onto the MINING STATION ROOF.
Run forward and climb up onto the ledge. Follow this path until you trigger a
cutscene.
Note: Mamoru needs every bullet to defeat the Boss, so don't get trigger happy.
You can waste two or three bullets on the first Yamibito guard, but that's it.
As Mamoru, ascend the long staircase and jump the gap to the OFFICE BUILDING.
Descend the stairs to the OFFICE BLDG STORAGE and retrieve the HATCHET.
Sightjack the armed Yamibito and ambush him with the torch. You can only afford
to waste two or three bullets on him, so pop him in the head at point blank
range. Steal his PISTOL and ascend the stairs to the roof.
Jump down through the gap in the wall and follow the path along the left fork
until you notice Yorito shooting from another ledge. Stand at the edge of the
scaffolding and shout, then quickly run back a few metres to safety. If you

Retrace your steps to the last fork and ascend the stairs. Outrun and dodge the
remaining Yamirei and Yamibito until you arrive at a large concrete structure
with a narrow opening. Pass through the opening and ascend the remaining
stairs to reach the top of the SPIDER'S THREAD.
After the cutscene with Tsuneo, sprint downstairs to the middle level that
comprises a rectangular split-level loop (two short sets of stairs lead up and
down either side of the loop). You can kill Tsuneo with either the HANDGUN or
the PISTOL, but his health regenerates very quickly so you mustn't wait too
long between attacks.
Crouch and position yourself on the short stairway that is furthest from the
open doorway that leads to the upper exterior platform - use the ledge to
shield yourself from Tsuneo's view. Sightjack him and always remain on the
opposite side of the loop so you can sneak up behind him and pummel his back
with bullets.
When Tsuneo gets agitated and chases you, remain on either the upper or lower
path of the loop and allow him to close in. At the last second, shine your
torch in his face and immediately run behind him and empty another round of
shots into his back. He turns very quickly, so you must almost hug him as you
make your way around him. If you can even get one quick shot in, it will knock
him back and allow you to blast him with gunfire. Remember to reload at every
available opportunity.

Consult your map and notice the short deadend passage opposite the route to the
WEAPON STORAGE AREA. A sniper Yamibito lurks in this dark nook, so throw a
smoke candle into the deadend passage and wait for the Yamibito to shoot off a
few rounds. When they are reloading, charge in and shoot them at point blank
range. Take the route opposite the short deadend passage down into the WEAPON
STORAGE AREA, but place a light bulb in the socket before the WEAPONS STORAGE
AREA to attract the attention of the Yamibito. Once he has seen you, quickly
remove the light bulb and he will come to investigate. When he does, pop him
(sometimes this guy can be a bit erratic, so sightjack his location to get a
spot on him). Set bulbs in the sockets along the east wall and kill the
Yamirei who block Ichiko's path. Proceed to the narrow passage that lies
between WEAPON STORAGE #2 & #3. Kill your torch and throw a SMOKE CANDLE at the
deadend wall to reveal [Ke-uke-gen #71]. Exit via the stairs near WEAPON
STORAGE #3 and follow the tunnel to the right until you arrive at the debris

Mission 1: Destroy Ryuhei Mikami
Archive items: #80, #81, #82

Note: Ok people - this is one of the most buggery bastarding missions in the
game. I must have been killed at least 80 times before I nailed it. Be patient,
keep your cool and be persistent - you will get it eventually. My deepest
gratitude to Stefano Canciani (_Uwye_) yet again for providing a reliable
solution to the HANDGUN problem.
Sprint through the gap in the sea wall and crouch on the northern side. Wait
for the Yamibito to walk by, then sneak behind him and follow the path to
MISAMI'S HOUSE. Enter the front gate of MIKAMI'S HOUSE and retrieve the
BACKDOOR KEY from under the FLOWERPOT in the north-western section of the
front garden.
Run clockwise around to the other side of MIKAMI'S HOUSE and enter the
backdoor. Retrieve the ANUNNAKI REMAINS (CLAW) and Ryuhei's Notebook #80] from
the kitchen. Return to the front of MIKAMI'S HOUSE and approach the gardening
shed. Use sightjack to reveal a psychic impression of the combination lock
code. Open the gardening shed and retrieve the TROWEL.
Leave MIKAMI'S HOUSE to trigger a cutscene. Run clockwise around MIKAMI'S
HOUSE and follow the slope to the SHRINE, killing the Yamibito who get in your
way. Upgrade your weapon to the HATCHET and retrieve the MEKKOJU from the
SHRINE. Get killed so that you restart at the CHECKPOINT near the SHRINE.
Run to your left and crouch so that you are hiding just out of sight of the
Yamibito who pauses outside ASANO'S HOUSE. Sightjack this Yamibito and wait for
her to look at the SHRINE. The second she turns away from the SHRINE and begins
the downhill descent, crouch-run after her and squeeze yourself between her
and the wall (stay on her left side). When you are exactly alongside her,
strike her down and steal her HANDGUN. Note: This is the most difficult task in
the game so far. Unless you are exactly bewteen the Yamibito and the wall, she
will either knock you further up or down the hill and shoot you dead in four
shots. You must position yourself so that you both have your backs against the
wall so that she relies on her melee attack and cannot push you backwards.
This strategy is very intuitive, but once you have mastered it you will find
that you can repeat it successfully.
Once you have the HANDGUN, switch back to your HATCHET and return down the
slope to the backdoor of MIKAMI'S HOUSE, using only the HATCHET to eliminate
enemies (you need a full clip to destroy Ryuhei). Sightjack Ryuhei Mikami (the
Kou-Yamibito who lurks on the rooftops) and lure him out. When he is on your
tail, sprint into the backdoor of MIKAMI'S HOUSE and crouch-hide in the
KITCHEN. Ryuhei will growl for a while in the KITCHEN doorway because he is too
big to fit through the opening. Eventually he will lose interest and walk away.
At this point, when his back is exposed, you can shoot him from the safety of
the KITCHEN. Take your time and ensure that you only aim for his back, as his
front is impervious to damage. After 4 or 5 shots return to your crouch-hide
spot in the corner and wait for him to settle down again before emptying the
last of the clip into his back.

Mission 2: Find out the secret of Kanae
Archive items: none

Sprint through the gap in the sea wall and crouch on the northern side.
Sightjack Ryuhei Mikami. Wait for the Yamibito and Ryuhei to walk by. When the
Yamibito is moving southward along the shoreline and Ryuhei is circling
MIKAMI'S HOUSE, sneak up the northern path to MISAMI'S HOUSE. Enter the front
gate of MIKAMI'S HOUSE and retrieve the TROWEL from the gardening shed (use
sightjack to reveal a psychic impression of the combination lock code).
Wait for Ryuhei to walk past the front door of MIKAMI'S HOUSE again, then run
clockwise around to the other side of MIKAMI'S HOUSE. Kill the Yamibito at the
bottom of the long winding stairway and use sightjack near the bottom of the
stairs to reveal a psychic impression of a hand rake. Squeeze through the gap
in the wall opposite the street lamp and retrieve the HAND RAKE. Return through
the gap to the winding stairway and proceed up the stairs to the SHRINE. Avoid
or kill the Yamibito who patrols the square loop path south of the SHRINE and
make your way to the CABLE LIFT. As you pass the SHRINE, use sightjack to
reveal a psychic impression of a knife. Slowly move up the path towards the
CABLE LIFT and clear the path of Yamirei. Retrieve the ROPE from the CABLE
LIFT and open the gate of ASANO'S HOUSE. Retrieve the KNIFE from the yard to
end the level. Note: Don't worry if you get swarmed by Yamirei after you have
the ROPE in your possession. It will remain in your inventory even if you get
killed, meaning that you only need to retrieve it once.

to the exit point. At the first junction instruct Tsukasa to stand guard and
monitor the nearby villager. Crouch-run towards Tsukasa when the Shibito is
looking the other way.
Proceed up the path until Tsukasa is required to stand guard again. Two
villagers patrol the rectangular section of path ahead, moving in a clockwise
loop. Wait at the corner of the building and sightjack one of them. The
villagers will walk past Tsuneo Ohta, then the shrine. As they pass the shrine,
sprint up the central L-shaped slope that connects with the shrine and keep
running until you reach the SCRAP METAL DUMP. You might be seen, but if you
run fast enough and crouch at the SCRAP METAL DUMP you might out-run them.
Instruct Tsukasa to search the area for [Shu's Drawing #22]. A villager will
suddenly appear, so you must move Shu to safety without Tsukasa's assistance
using first-person view. Quickly get onto the path that leads back to the
village and the level will end.

KANAE MISSIONS (Young female)
_____________________________________________

Character: Kanae
-01:00/Yamijima Harbour/Old Road - Fleeing
Mission 1: Reach Dolphin Pier with Shu Mikami
Archive items: none

Run forward and ascend the first set of stairs. Stop before you reach the
streetlamp with the POWER BOX attached to it. Sightjack the villager who stares
at the streetlamp, and when he is looking in the opposite direction, switch off
the POWER BOX and hide under the WORK ROOM stairs, just opposite the POWER BOX.
Wait for the villager to examine the POWER BOX and descend the stairs to the
lower path. When the coast is clear, follow the path to the CABLE LIFT. Shu
will either be hiding behind barrels in the fork that branches west off the
main path, or he will be hiding in the CABLE LIFT itself.
Once Shu is in your care, follow the path back to the streetlamp with the POWER
BOX, but stop just before the blue barrels under the stairwell. Turn left and
attempt to acscend the stairs to the WORK ROOM. After the cutscene, ascend the
stairs to the WORK ROOM and enter the building. Crouch behind the benches and
sightjack Tsuneo Ohta. When he descends the stairs, leave the WORK ROOM via the
eastern door and move southward to the locked gate. Send Shu through the gate
to retrieve the key. Proceed through the gate and then sprint downstairs until
you have reached the exit point at DOLPHIN PIER.

Mission 2: Reach Yamijita Lighthouse with Shu Mikami
Archive items: #27, #28, #29

Run forward and ascend the stairs. Ascend the next set of stairs to the left of
the street lamp, and then the next set of stairs until you arrive at a short
bridge. Cross the bridge, enter the building and descend the stairs. When you
emerge outside again on the balcony near the street lamp, crouch and sightjack
the villager who walks up the stairs to the WORK ROOM. Crouch-walk after him,
remaining hot on his heels and hide behind the benches in the WORK ROOM.
Sightjack Tsuneo and wait for him to enter the WORK ROOM. When he leaves the
WORK ROOM to study the pile of debris near the WORK ROOM door, leave your
hiding spot and exit the WORK ROOM via the eastern door.
Ascend the stairs, enter the PRESSURE MACHINE ROOM, inspect the pipes and turn
the valve. Retrieve one of the OCTOPUS POTS from under the window and leave the
PRESSURE MACHINE ROOM via the same door. Just outside the doorway to the
PRESSURE MACHINE ROOM you will notice a sheer drop. Sightjack Tsuneo and wait
for him to stand directly under the ledge, then drop the OCTOPUS POT on his
head (he will inspect the gate, then turn and look upwards). Sometimes he will
notice your presence in the room above and will search for you. Simply hide in
the corner near the OCTOPUS POTS and you should be safe from view.
Return downstairs to the WORK ROOM and make your way to the CABLE LIFT to
retrieve Shu. Shu will either be hiding behind barrels in the fork that
branches west off the main path, or he will be hiding in the CABLE LIFT itself.
Return to the WORK ROOM and head back upstairs to the ledge outside the
PRESSURE MACHINE ROOM. Jump the gap and use the PROTEST SIGN to make a bridge
for Shu [Protest Sign #29].
Wait for the proximity warning sound to stop before walking forward and
climbing up onto the ledge outside the GOLD MINING CO. Enter the GOLD MINING CO
and retrieve [Employee's Journal #28] from the desk. Walk through the open
doorway and descend the stairs. Locate the PORTABLE RADIO but do not touch it.
Sightjack the villager who patrols the area outside the GOLD MINING CO (you
will make out your own crosshairs distinctly through the wall). When he stops
to look at the MATERIALS WAREHOUSE door, retrieve the [Portable radio #27] from
the shelf and use the BATTERIES from ROBO BEAST to turn it on. Hide on the
staircase and crouch-run to the door when the villager examines the PORTABLE
RADIO with his back to you. Exit the door, turn right and follow the path that
runs around the outside of the GOLD MINING CO until you are standing outside
the MATERIALS WAREHOUSE. Move east and enter the tunnels that lead to the
YAMIJIMA LIGHTHOUSE.
Before stepping down into the tunnels, sightjack the villager who roams the
tunnels. When he takes the left fork towards the balcony, sprint into the
tunnels and take the right fork down to the water's edge to save the turtle.
You will probably get caught on the return trip, but simply repeat the last few
steps and take the left fork when the villager is descending the right fork
stairs to the shoreline.

21. Mermaid's Tear
Shu Mikami - -02:00/Yamijima Island/Aonoku Settlement (Mission 1)

objective brings Shigeru back to his birthplace.

The ebony ball supposedly pre-dates civilisation. What function it play is a
mystery. Perhaps a symbol of the eclipse, or of the time when the earth was

intersect?

34. UMA Encyclopaedia

the Prefectural Tennis Tournament.

certain locations in the game, but most are too swift to study.

52. Mother's Scale

65. Space Cold War Poster
Ikuko Kifune - 08:00/Underworld - Escape (Mission 1)

Soji Abe - 12:00/Yamijima Island/Shinari Mountain Trail - Dread (Mission 2)
The Golden Ohsho, the cheap good luck pendant Soji presents to Akiko, is

The two characters in the footage are Ichiro Nakajima and Noriko Kifune,
Ichiko's friends on board the Bright Win. Noriko's note to Ichiko suggests that
Noriko may have been pregnant with Ichiro's child. Noriko's was the only
survivor of the Bright Win disaster, but having fallen into the sea as a
pregnant woman, may have compromised the baby's fate (see archives #40, #45 &
#87).

imbedded in their bodies to prevent possession by evil spirits (see archive

Mekkoju branch at birth, so they may be buried with it to keep evil spirits at
bay. The Mekkoju tree itself is not said to exist, yet it's fallen limbs may
found by the head of the Ohta family when the Mekkoju Walk ritual is performed.
The body of a possessed soul liberated by the Mekkoju branch transforms them
into a Mekkoju tree.

ex-girlfriend with a similar blemish, which explains how he became drawn into

Ikuko Kifune - 20:00/Shinari Mountain/Pylon #4 (Mission 2)

Yorito Nagai - 23:00/Yamijima Island/Shiofurihama (Mission 2)
The text reads reads 'A Scary Monster Fell From The Sky', referring to Yorito
falling into the Yambito dimension in ENDING #1 (the original Forbidden Siren
game featured a 26-symbol code that corresponded with the letters in the
English alphabet. Siren 2 however features a symbolic code that only translates
into Japanese). This document ends speculation about whether or not Yorito was
projecting paranoid delusions onto reality. The drawing clearly shows a
permanently-eclisped sun like the one in the Yamibito dimension.

Character: Nitaka Ichifuji (Shibito Soldier)
07:00/Gold Mining Co. Housing - Memento
Mission 1: Escape from Houya with Momiko Nabeshima

You must play as Nitaka Ichifuji and find and rescue Momiko Nabeshima. Nitaka's
torch batteries are low, limiting use of the torch.

Strategy: Switch to your HANDGUN and walk clockwise around A-BUILDING until
you reach the STORAGE SHED just before the eastern doorway. Flick your torch
on to blind the Yamibito who guards the eastern doorway, then gun him down (be
sure to kill your torch after he is dead).
Ascend the stairs to A-301 to locate Momiko. Momiko will bitch that her
mother's IRON is lost (you'd think being undead you'd have bigger concerns, but
anyhoo...).
Restart from the CHECKPOINT (this will reset the Yamibito positions), kill your
torch and switch back to the HANDGUN. Run downstairs, but creep quietly down
the last flight of stairs. Flick on your torch, open the door and shoot the
Yamibito in the back. Steal his PISTOL, kill your torch and switch weapons so
that you are carrying the RIFLE.
Run clockwise around to the TRAFFIC BARRIER and aim up at the 3rd storey of
A-BUILDING to snipe the Yamibito on the balcony (if you aim at his hip, the
RIFLE will automatically travel up his body). Switch back to the PISTOL and
proceed forward down the road to the south-east corner of B-BUILDING. Face the
balcony and let off one or two shots until the screen flashes red (this will
attract the attention of the Yamibito who waits inside and also hopefully give
Momiko an chance to catch up with you).
Run back to the eastern door of B-BUILDING and stand on the second step, facing
the doorway. When you hear (but do not see) the sound of a door opening, flick
on your torch and gun down the Yamibito when he appears in the doorway.
Quickly switch weapons and about-face - the Yamibito on the 3rd floor balcony
of A-BUILDING has revived. He is difficult to spot behind the tree branches, so
aim at the trunk and move your sight upwards until you spot him. Again, aim at
his hip and let the RIFLE travel up his body.
Sprint into the building and retrieve the IRON from the floor in B-101. Sprint
back through the eastern doorway and use the torch to blind any Yamibito that
get in your way. Run down the eastern side of the CHILDREN'S PARK to the exit
point.

Chronological time is warped in the Siren universe and it is often difficult
to logically comprehend how two characters, who are the same person, yet of
different ages, can coexist in the same time and place. Likewise, it is
difficult to keep track of the motivations and back stories of the many avatars
(possessed human beings) who are controlled by the supernatural deities in
Siren. As the game is deliberatly obscure in parts, there will always be debate
and conjecture about the storyline. For this reason I will only present the
facts, with brevity, as they are presented in the game.

_____________________________________________

THE PAST (1976)

Yamijima Island - Young Shu Mikami lives alone with his father, Ryuhei, a
widowed archeologist. Shu's mother was lost at sea shortly after the Mikami's
settled on Yamijima Island.
One day while Shu and Ryuhei are exploring the island coastline, Shu discovers
the body of an unconscious young girl named Kanae. Kanae recovers and is
invited to live with the Mikamis. Shu and Kanae become inseparable playmates.
Ryuhei himself cannot deny Kanae's uncanny resemblence to his dead wife, and so
despite his reservations, allows Kanae to remain. The Yamijima residents
instinctively fear Kanae and are suspicious of her aversion to sunlight. The
Ohta's (Yamijima's oldest family) are especially concerned, as traditionally
they are responsible for keeping the island safe from harm.

Kanae (an avatar of Mother, an ancient water deity) secretly needs Shu to help
her open the seven gates on Yamijima Island that keep Mother imprisoned. Kanae
confides in Shu that once, long ago, 'the ruler died, her mommy was born, lots
of them were born'. Mother has sent Kanae to Shu to enlist his help (it seems
that only a true mortal human may open the seven gates, and no one is easier to
manipulate than a trusting child).

Tsuneo Ohta, the village Amimoto (fishermen's boss and village elder) and his
vain daughter, Tomoe, plot Kanae's capture at a town meeting. Tomoe tells the
villagers that she has seen Kanae down by the sea 'driving back something
horrible and nasty'. One night Shu is awoken by the island villagers who have
caught Kanae in the act of killing his father (Kanae needed Ryuhei out of the
way to have complete control of Shu). Shu discovers the body of his father
lying in the hallway of the family home, but is interrupted when his older
self, now blind, appears in the doorway of the Mikami house - time has folded.

Kanae manages to escape the villagers and reunites with Shu, but when the two
become cornered by the angry mob, the stone balcony that supports them gives
way and sends them into the sea. Shu manages to find safety in a small boat
but Kanae slowly sinks below the water, returning to the bottom of the sea.
The experience is so traumatic for young Shu that he loses his sight.
Foiled, Mother becomes infuriated and sends a tsunami to destroy the villagers.
Local authorities are at a loss as to explain how Yamijima's undersea power
cable was severed, or how the entire population of the island disappeared. When
the villagers recover (now inhabiting a parallel dimension where the events of
29 years ago are repeated), Shiryos (dark smokey spirits) have infested the
island and the dead return to life as Shibito. Tomoe Ohta runs for her life,
only to die in a horrific fall - her body is ripe for possession by the
Shiryos. Tsuneo Ohta returns to the Mikami house to investigate the body of
Ryuhei, but is pursued by Ryuhei, now himself a ravenous Shibto.

_____________________________________________

PRESENT DAY

Ryuko Tagawa (Soji Abe's co-worker/flatmate and Ikuko Kifune's sister) has been
sent to earth to make preparations for the return of Mother. Ryuko finds the
human condition so comfortable that she neglects her mission and continues on
with life as a mortal. Yuri Kishida, an innocent young girl, has been kidnapped
by Mother and hidden in a warehouse in Sanzu Harbour. Mother assumes Yuri's
identity and sets out to punish Ryuko. Ryuko receives an unexpected visit from
her doppelganger, Yuri, and although startled by the resemblence, recognises
Yuri as one of her kind. Yuri asks Ryuko why she didn't return. Ryuko
apologises, but Yuri assures her that she will not be forgiven for abandoning
Mother. Yuri kills Ryuko and returns to Sanzu Harbour to watch her disparate
collection of victims board the vessel to Yamijima Island.

Soji Abe, Shu Mikami, Mamoru Itsuki, Ikuko Kifune and Akiko Kiyota are bound
for Yamijima Island, (the 'Island of Hate' or 'Island of the Dead'). Mamoru (a
magazine editor) wants to investigate the island for his magazine. Shu (now a
famous blind novelist) grew up on the island and wishes to return to the place
of his birth to retrieve his lost memories. Soji (a temp worker) and Akiko (the
heavily-disguised clairvoyant) are on the run together, trying to escape the
police who have mistakenly charged Soji with the murder of Ryuko Tagawa. Ikuko
(a psychic factory worker and former marine radio operator) is drawn to the
island by instinct. The weather grows dark and a large mass passes by the cabin
window (something 'horrible and nasty'?). A tsunami capsizes the vessel but the
passengers arrive safely on the shores of the island. Time folds as the tsunami
announces a shift in reality.

Mamoru washes up on the pier and explores the island. Mamoru discovers Yuri
hiding in a building, fearful for her life. Mamoru and Yuri are pursued by a
Shibito but Mamoru manages to incapacitate the creature. Yuri requests Mamoru's
help to find her mother, who she says is being confined on the island.
Mamoru and Yuri are discovered by lost soldiers, Takeaki Misawa and Yorito
Nagai. Strangely, Yuri has an inexplicable aversion to Misawa's flashlight.
As Mamoru and Yuri proceed, they are accosted by Tomoe Ohta, daughter of Tsuneo
Ohta, the island Amimoto. Tomoe believes that Yuri is Kanae and attempts to
apprehend her again.

Yuri leads Mamoru to the amusement park where the seven gates are located.
Yuri explains that the current reality they participate in tries desperately to
maintain it's form (the broken glass bird instantly becomes whole again), but
inevitably will soon collapse into the chaos of nothingness. Yuri's song and
dance provide Mamoru with the clues to unlock the seven gates. Mamoru complies,
believing he will avoid a catastrophe by doing so. Yuri leads Mamoru into the
Underworld and reveals her true monstrous form, Mother. Mamoru has been used.

A helicopter carrying Private Yorito Nagai, Captain Takeaki Misawa and Sergeant
Hiroshi Okita crashes on Yamijima Island. After death Hiroshi transforms into a
Shibito and Takeaki and Yorito attempt to escape the island. Takeaki is haunted
by strange visions of Harumi Yomoda, a young girl he rescued on a previous
mission in the village of Hanuda. The two soldiers board the ferry Bright Win
and Yorito saves Yuri from Tomoe Ohta, now transformed into a Yamibito.
Takeaki, becoming paranoid and unstable, manages to frighten Yuri away as she
attempts to exert psychic control over Yorito. Takeaki consumes some
hallucinogenic medication and becomes homicidal, intent on killing anyone he
regards as suspicious.

Shigeru Fujita, a down-on-his-luck police officer who grew up on Yamijima
Island, returns to investigate rumours about the sighting of a young woman on
the supposedly desolate island. When Shigeru is leading lost school girl Ichiko
to safety, he stumbles upon Tsuneo Ohta, the village Amimoto from 29 years ago.
Shigeru is dumbfounded that Tsuneo is still on the island after so many years.
Tsuneo transforms into a Shibito before his eyes and attacks Shigeru. Shigeru
and Ichiko manage to avoid Tsuneo for a while, but eventually Tsuneo corners
them in the fort ruins. Just as Tsuneo moves in for the kill, he unexpectedly
panics and runs away.

Shu Mikami returns to his family home on the island, and much to his surprise,
discovers his younger self grieving over the body of his dead father - Shu has
been transported back to the night of his father's murder. Tsuneo Ohta appears
but fails to recognise Shu in adult form. The body of Shu's father is
reanimated by a Shiryo and proceeds to chase Tsuneo. Shu manages to escape the
villagers, now Shibitos, who are cursed to search the island forever for the
murderous Kanae.

Soji loses Akiko but manages to reunite with Shu. The two explorers discover
the fossilised remains of a mysterious creature, possibly a Yamirei (Mother's
slug-like albino offspring). The two men end up at the amusement park where
Shu remembers Kanae and her plan to open the seven gates.

Ichiko Yagura (a young school girl) regains consciousness on board the Bright
Win, a ferry that has run aground on Yamijima Island. The Bright Win was lost
at sea during a tsunami and the last transmission included a vague report about
'a girl' (possibly Yuri or Kanae) causing the ship to run aground.
Ichiko and her best friend and schoolmate Noriko share matching bracelets
symbolising their friendship, but Noriko is nowhere to be found. Ichiko,
disoriented and lost, stumbles upon Yuri and goes into shock. Yuri's dead body
was plucked from the sea during Ichiko's school excursion - somehow Yuri is
still alive. Shigeru rescues Ichiko and takes her to Mikami's house, but
Ichiko believes that something is still hunting her. Shigeru and Ichiko escape
through the fort ruins but are pursued by Tsuneo Ohta. Tsuneo closes in on
Ichiko but is reluctant to attack. Ichiko laughs in his face and Tsuneo flees
in fear. Ichiko is possessed by Otoshigo, Mother's nemesis and father of the
Shiryos.

_____________________________________________

THE SIREN - THE SEVEN GATES ARE OPEN

Eventually the entire group of mismatched venturers arrive at the amusement
park and descend into the pit - the seven gates are open. A giant tree, the
Mekkoju, stands proudly in the centre of the bottom of the pit. Mother appears
and reveals her true form. Mamoru falls victim to Mother's hypnotic power, but
Ikuko saves him by using her own psychic abilities to resist Mother's hold.
Soji sees Mother as his murdered flatmate, Ryuko. Shu sees Mother as his lost
childhood friend, Kanae, and is lost forever in Mother's grip. Only Akiko and
Ikuko can see Mother for what she is - a monster.

Yorito and Takeaki are fortunately beyond Mother's reach, but the Siren
threatens to overwhelm them. Ichiko hovers over the lifeless body of Shigeru,
dazed and covered in blood - was she capable of his murder?
Mother, now free, gives birth to hundreds of Yamirei - ravenous albino slugs
who pursue the helpless party back up to the surface. Just as Ikuko and Mamoru
are about to perish, the Shiryos (spirits that animate the Shibito) come
pouring down into the abyss and clash violently with the Yamirei. The natural
enemies fight to the death, providing the humans with an opportunity to escape.

Mamoru and Ikuko manage to evade the warring Yamirei and Shiryo factions. The
amusement park is now overrun with Yamireis and Shiryos, the light-sensitive
Yamirei now bound in protective shrouds. Ikuko successfully destroys the seven
gates, preventing the Underworld from spewing forth any more Yamirei. As Mamoru
and Ikuko escape through the amusement park they becomes surrounded by Yamirei.
All hope seems lost until a crimson light (the dawn?) bathes the scene and the
Yamirei are vanquished. Ikuko, plagued by painful memories of being taunted and
ostracised for being 'different' (psychic), abandons Mamoru in favour of a
solitary path.

When the Siren sounds, Ichiko turns on Shigeru and stabs him to death. After
Shigeru's death, Ichiko stumbles around, lost and disoriented. Ichiko recalls
falling overboard on the Bright Win, her hand sliding Noriko's bracelet from
her wrist as she loses her grip and falls into the sea.
Ichiko sinks to the bottom of the sea, dead. But she is soon resurrected in a
new state and returns to the surface as Otoshigo, Mother's mate and father of
the Shiryos. Ichiko has a sudden yearning to return to the sea, to Mother. As
Ichiko escapes through the school yard she becomes surrounded by Yamirei. All
hope seems lost until a crimson light (the dawn?) bathes the scene and the
Yamirei are vanquished.

Shigeru reawakens and becomes a Yamibito.

Takeaki, exhausted, regards the sky and catches a glimpse of his former reality
through the clouds. Yamibito appear - humans fused with Yamirei, clad in black
robes to shield them from light. Takeaki leads Ichiko safely through the fort
ruins, but detects something strange about her. As Takeaki demands answers,
Yorito appears, and fearing for Ichiko's life, shoots Takeaki dead.
Yorito conceals Inchiko in the safety of the Gold Mining Company Housing but
they are set upon by a dog Yambito. Ichiko flees, but when Yorito finally
finds her again she has become possessed by Otoshigo and embarks on a mindless
killing spree. Yorito finds Ichiko's bracelet and uses it to bring Ichiko
back to her senses. Ichiko wrestles with the demons inside her, but eventually
recovers her own will (albeit temporarily).

Mamoru boards the Bright Win in an attempt to defeat the Yamirei and the
Yamibito. Tomoe Ohta has transformed into a dog Yamibito and terrorises the
ship.

Soji and Akiko escape through the mining settlement, but are arrested by the
crimson light and the sudden appearance of a giant tower of scaffolding that
pierces the sky. Akiko follows a psychic trail that leads her to the place
where Shu and Kanae plummeted into the sea. Shu contacts Akiko from beyond the
grave and asks her to save his father, Ryuhei, who has transformed into a Kou-
Yamibito, a grotesque human/Yamirei abomination. Shu leads Akiko to the shrine
where the Mekkoju branch is kept (legend has it that each Yamijima Islander is
presented with a sacred Mekkoju branch at birth, so they may be buried with it
to keep evil spirits at bay. The Mekkoju tree itself is not said to exist,
yet it's fallen limbs may found by the head of the Ohta family when the Mekkoju
Walk ritual is performed). Akiko also finds a mysterious artifact, the Anunnaki
Remains (claw).
Akiko destroys Ryuhei and plunges the Mekkoju branch into his face, freeing his
soul and transforming him into the mystical Mekkoju tree. Akiko receives a
final psychic impression, the night Kanae murdered Ryuhei. In the vision,
Kanae flees covered in Ryuhei's blood, but she notices Akiko's reflection in
the mirror instead of her own - the two are one. Akiko, no longer able to
resist Mother's power, transforms into Kanae.

Soji runs into Ikuko and recognises her face - not from the boat, but from
elsewhere - Ryuko's older sister? Soji reunites with Tsukasa, Shu's dog, and
Tsukasa demonstrates her loyalty by retrieving his lost lighter. Soji looks to
the tower on the horizon and a series of explosions erupt around the base.

Ikuko realises that the Yamirei and the Shiryos have been waiting in the dark
for millenia, hating humans and waiting to return to the earth plane. An
anonymous being presents Ikuko with the Mekkoju branch reserved for Shigeru
Fujita, now also a Kou-Yamibito. Ikuko discovers Anunnaki Remains (claw) lodged
into the Mekkoju tree, now itself entwined in the tower. Ikuko destroys Shigeru
and liberates his soul.

Mamoru and Yorito join forces and attempt to scale the Spider's Thread, the
pinnacle of the tower. Mamoru believes that the pinnacle of the tower is the
point where the artificial world intersects with the real world. Mamoru
believes that their current reality is simply a copy of the real world from 29
years ago. The two men ascend the tower and obtain the Mekkoju branch reserved
for Tsuneo Ohta, now himself a Kou-Yamibito. Tsuneo knocks Yorito off the
tower but Mamoru manages to destroy Tsuneo and liberates his soul with the
Mekkoju branch.

Yorito, now totally unhinged and enraged, vows to destroy the Yamirei and
Yamibito once and for all. Yorito discovers a lair of Yamirei in the
Grade/Middle school and dipserses them with a flare gun. Yorito also learns
that his former Sergeant, Hiroshi Okita, is now a souless Yambito too, so
Yorito saves his soul by ending his life. Yorito is then confronted by Takeaki
Misawa, now a blood-thirsty Kou-Yamibito. Yorito takes delight in bringing down
his former Captain with a barrage of gunfire. In the distance, the tower
crumbles as reality loses form. Yorito believes the worst is over when Ichiko
suddenly appears, her face swollen into a grotesque eye. Ichiko transforms into
Otoshigo and attacks. Yorito uses every tool at his disposal to defeat
Otoshigo, and the nightmare is over.

Noriko Kifune (the sole survivor of the Bright Win and Ikuko's sister) is found
off the coast of Yamijima.

Ikuko and Mamuro are reunited on the pinnacle of the tower. Ikuko tries to
resist Mother's psychic control but is losing the battle. The Ohta House, now
out of sync with reality, sits atop the Mekkoju tree. Tomoe Ohta waits inside
but Ikuko manages to save her Tomoe's soul by plunging a Mekkoju branch into
her side.

Mother scales the tower in an attempt to reach the other reality. The tower
crumbles as reality begins to fracture and revert back into the chaos of
nothingness. Ichiko plummets into the ocean and Mamoru and Ikuko are sucked
into Mother's plane of existence, an aquatic, crimson dimension. Akiko/Kanae's
spirit appears and implores for Shu's forgiveness. Akiko/Kanae suicides by
plunging the Annunaki remains (claw) into her stomach, which simultaneously
injures Mother. Each member of the party is then inspired to use the Annunaki
Remains (Claw) which in turn transform into mystical swords, Annaki Remains
(Horn). The humans manage to defeat Mother and a final tsunami cleanses the
island. Shu and Kanae are together forever, and reality is restored.

Mamoru and Ikuko are bathed in sunlight as normality is restored to Yamijima
Island. Ikuko however looks eerily preoccupied...

Yorito wakes on a sunlit boulevarde but all is not right. Yamibito stroll past
like tourists, smouldering in the haze, and regard the new intruder with fear.
Yorito loses his mind and goes on a killing spree. Is he delusional? Is he
mistaking innocent humans for Yamibito? Has he become trapped in the Yamibito
dimension?

Soji Abe is joined by Tsukasa, and the lonely pair contemplate a new day.

The National Times reports that a man named Ichiro Nakajima was beaten to death
by his flatmate Noriko Kifune. In the wake of Mother's death, Ryuko Tagawa
never died. The archive photograph of Soji and Ryuko now features Soji only.
Mother and her avatars have been erased from existence.

_____________________________________________

MOTHER & OTOSHIGO

Mother is an ancient water deity who was imprisoned below, by whom we do not
know (this is possibly metaphoric, meaning the light kept Mother imprisoned in
the darkness. The ritual of the seven gates may have allowed Mother to
unleash darkness on earth so that conditions would be more favourable for her
kind).
The old scrolls reveal that before there was light on Earth strange creatures
roamed the surface. When light appeared the creatures fled into the oceans
and waited for millenia in the darkness for a chance to return to the surface.
Eventually they sent one of their own in the form of a young girl to prepare
conditions for their arrival (it is interesting to note that when Yorito
appears in the Yamibito dimension, a solar eclipse prevents the Yamibito from
combusting completely. Perhaps Mother had the power to influence planetary
movement and was planning to permanently eclipse earth's sun).
Otoshigo was Mother's mate but was separated from her when they fled into
the sea to escape the light. Otoshigo searched the earth for millenia trying
to find Mother but was unsuccessful. Otoshigo answers the call of the Siren
(Mother) and returns to earth in the form of Ichiko.
Mother uses avatars (human beings whose minds are possessed by a splintered
part of her consciousness) to do her bidding.
Mother gives the humans the gift of sightjack so that she may monitor
situations on earth and pollute human minds with dark thoughts.
Mother sends Ryuko to earth to prepare conditions for her return, but finding
the human condition so comfortable, Ryuko neglects her mission and pays with
her life. Yuri is sent in her stead.
Mother kidnaps and possesses Yuri's body to hatch her plan. Mother uses Yuri
to reveal to Mamoru that she is lonely and has waited a long time for company
Mother was separated from her mate Otoshigo when light appeared).
Mother sent out 'doves' (avatars) to get help, but none were ever successful.
Twenty-nine years ago Mother sent Kanae (her 'dove') to the Mikami's so that
she could enlist the help of Shu to open the seven gates that imprisoned her.
In that attempt, Mother was foiled by the Yamijima residents who killed Kanae.
In her second attempt, her 'dove', Ryuko, became so preoccupied with human life
that she neglected her mission. In Mother's final attempt, she is defeated by
the Annaki Remains (Horn), a substance fatal to Mother, possibly from the
remains of Mother's nemesis. In this instance, Mother's 'dove', Akiko, resists
her power and suicides, injuring Mother herself.

_____________________________________________

THE END?

Yorito is trapped in the Yamibito dimension.

Ikuko looks eerily preoccupied at the end of the adventure.

Noriko Kifune, now on the run, may be pregnant with a cursed child.

Mamoru's ex-girlfriend sports a strange blemish - a mark of evil?
