Preface
*******************************************************************************
With a holdiday setting in, I have decided it is time for my second GameFAQs
contribution, for yet another Capcom game. I had decided to write an FAQ for
one of the Onimusha series which I have recently enjoyed playing, however since
all the guides already posted were so good I decided to go for something that
nobody had done yet, so here I present a handy reference list for those seeking
every single Power and Magic jewel. This is a very small in depth FAQ so I have
not provided a contents list for this one.

*******************************************************************************
All About Jewels
*******************************************************************************
As the names suggest, power and magic jewels contribute to your power and magic
meters at the top of the screen, by raising the maximum level that they can
reach. Since your Helth and Magic start quite low you will have a vey hard time
beating the game if you don't find any, but get them all and it will be
considerably easier. If you get all of the jewels your heath and magic meters
will stretch all the way to your gold conunter (visible in the inventory).

Power Jewels
************
Power jewels are curved, teardrop shaped gems which glow with yellow light.
Each one when used in the inventory will increase your maximum heath by a
small ammount, but note that they do not increase your current health when
you use them.

Magic Jewels
************
Magic jewels are curved, teardrop shaped gems which glow with blue light.
Each one when used in the inventory will increase your maximum magic by a
small ammount, but note that they do not increase your current magic when
you use them.

*******************************************************************************
Magoichi Saiga
*******************************************************************************
Special mention must go to the gunslinger, as he is the only character whom you
MUST form a good alliance with to acquire all the jewels. This isn't as bad as
it sounds. Basically, as you will find out below, there is one power, and one
magic jewel which can only be acquired if Magoichi is your best friend just
after the second fight with Gingamphatts. This means that if you are trying to
get complete scenario for a different character you will have to miss these two
jewels. Fortunately these are the only jewels that require a particular
alliance to get, so you will always be able to get all of the other jewels
without worying about your allies too much.

I would just like to add that if it is your first time through or you are
attempting hard mode then I STRONGLY suggest you ally with Magoichi anyhow.
Not only do you get the extra jewels, but if Magoichi is you closest ally
throughout the game then there are many huge benefits which are far better than
those offered by the other characters. It is my intention to contribute
scenario guides for all the Onimusha 2 sub characters once I get thier
scenarios to 100% so keep an eye on GameFAQS to find out more about why
Magoichi is the greatest ally ever.

*******************************************************************************
Power Jewels
*******************************************************************************
Here I have simply listed the Power Jewels with their locations and anything
special you need to do to get them, including the solutions to any puzzle boxes
that they are in. Power Jewels that you have to trade to get are at the bottom
of the chapter with thier owner and some items that can be traded to get it
listed.

1 : Jubei's House : Yagyu Village
*********************************
Enter the house and go down the hall to Jubie's left as you enter, all the way
to the end. The puzzle box at the end contains the power jewel, the solution is
as follows:

Top Side, Right Arrow
Right Side, Bottom Arrow

Note that you can enter Jubei's house before going to Imasho, you must go there
after you can absorb souls but before you go to the dragon shrine to get the
thunder sword.

2 : Gifu Castle : Corner Room
*****************************
Enter the Gifu Keep through the front door and go through the double doors
opposite, the next room should have three doors, one of which is the cherry
door that you cannot open yet. Go through the double doors opposite the ones
you entered through and you will be in a corner room with a puzzle box
containing a power jewel. Use this combination:

Right Side, Bottom Arrow
Top Side, Right Arrow
Left Side, Top Arrow

3 : Fog Valley : Pond (Magoichi must be your best friend)
*********************************************************
After you defeat Gingamphatts for the second time head north to the pond. Go to
Jubei's right to a forested area with a thunder Mozun guarding the last
Nobunaga statue. Once you have it go back to the pond to trigger Magoichi's
appearance with his cannon. Simply protect him from the fish so he can fire the
cannon, wind magic is great if you are getting mobbed. Once the cannon fires
it will reveal the power jewel. If Magoichi didn't get hit at all you can also
talk to him for one of the tech books you haven't got yet.

4 : Demon Cave : Last Room
**************************
If you played the cave as Jubei you will have noticed a wind Mozun in the
room where you found the powder tube. Break it and go through to get to the
last room.

If you played as Magoichi you could not have broken the Mozun so once you get
Jubei back return to the room where you entered the cave and go around the
opposite way. The route is blocked by a petrified man but you can now free him
with the powder tube. Go past him into the last room.

In the last room you will find a puzzle box containing the power jewel. The
solution is:

Bottom Side, Left Arrow
Left Side, Bottom Arrow
Bottom Side, Right Arrow
Right Side, Bottom Arrow
Top Side, Left Arrow

5 : Oni Palace : Pipe Room
**************************
After the third fight with Gogandantess the next room is full of pipes and
fire. Climb onto the top pipe and you will see some platforms you can jump
across to the exit, but don't go there yet. There should be a whole pipe
that leads to a ladder, so run across and climb up. The puzzle box here has
a power jewel. The solution is:

Right Side, Bottom Arrow
Bottom Side, Right Arrow
Top Side, Left Arrow
Left Side, Top Arrow
Top Side, Middle Arrow

6 : Trade With Ekei
*******************
Each sub character owns one power jewel. It is best to trade for these in
Imasho town, and even if you trade the right item you will not always get the
jewel since almost all trade results are random to some extent. The best way to
deal with this is to save at the mirror behind the pub and the try a trade
item. If you don't get the jewel you can always reload and try again. Patience
is a virtue! These are some good items to give to Ekei to get his jewel:

Grilled Fish
Loaded Dice
Tengu Mask
Raw Fish
Folding Fan

Note that you can get a jewel with many other items but I have listed these
because they are not of much value for trading with other characters, so you
can reserve them for Ekei.

7 : Trade With Magoichi

Each sub character owns one power jewel. It is best to trade for these in
Imasho town, and even if you trade the right item you will not always get the

When you come to Gifu castle from the Oni palace you will find the cherry key

is a big haul of tresure including a magic jewel puzzle box. The soution is:

him and use it once you get Jubei back.

demon slaying contest you will find a maze of hallways. Take the first
turn on Jubei's right and follow it round to the left. Examine the left hand
