VERSION HISTORY
========================================================================
FEBRUARY 1, 2003
It's David McCutcheon. CVXFREAK approached me about taking over the
guide, and I accepted. Also, Completed the "Walkthrough" and
"Characters" sections, as well as the "Weapons" section, and a huge
chunk of the "Items" section is done. Added the "Coming Soon" to the
File section, too. I've been busy! If you see the name "ZoopSoul,"
"ZoopNOVA," or "David 'Zoop' McCutcheon" anywhere, I'm all the same
person. No confusion, no hassle. Keepin' it reeeaaal. Or something.

added more monsters.
JUNE 16, 2002
UPDATE: I _FINALLY_ received the game! I started playing it, and I
started the walkthrough. I know the FAQ is horribly incomplete right
now, but that's because there is no language options (It's completely in
Japanese, unlike Genma Onimusha and Onimusha: Warlords. But many of the
sections have been worked out so far, and more work will progress
throughout the summer.

1. ONIMUSHA 2: SAMURAI'S DESTINY FAQ INTRODUCTION
========================================================================
This FAQ covers the American version of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny
for the Sony PlayStation 2. Onimusha: Warlords, Genma Onimusha, and
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny are copyright 2002 by Capcom Japan. I
don't own any of the rights to those games.
This FAQ may only be found on:
www.gamefaqs.com
www.neoseeker.com
www.psxcodez.com
Those websites keep the FAQ up to date, and are the most visited
websites based on the PlayStation 2 console.
This FAQ was originally for the Japanese version, but since has been
cleaned up and in line for the American version. CVXFREAK's lines are
intended for the Japanese version and move correctly with the American
version, and ZoopSoul's part is intended for the American version
solely. Relax, and enjoy this walkthrough and extras.
Onto the FAQ.
========================================================================
2. GAME BASICS
========================================================================
A. CONTROLS
-----------
SQUARE: Slash sword
R1: Ready sword, before slashing with SQUARE
L1: Defense
START: Item Screen
SELECT: Options
CIRCLE: Confirm/Action button
X BUTTON: Absorb souls in battle
RIGHT ANALOG STICK: Access the map
D-PAD: Move character
FORWARD + SQUARE: Striking attack
B. FIGHTING TACTICS
-------------------
SLASH, SLASH, SLASH!
Kill and don't stop slashing. You may end up kicking a few enemies, but
press UP to keep slashing. Try to stab them when they're on the ground
for an instant kill.
IMPALE DOWNWARD!
Mention above and also one of the overlooked aspects of Onimusha 2 lies
in the fact that, once your opponent is down, you can stand above them
and, by pressing the Attack Button, you will take your sword through
their body! This will instantly kill most any enemy.
ABSORB ALL SOULS!
Yes, they are crucial to your survival. The more orbs you get, the more
upgrading you can do. If you're low on health, look for the ever-so-
important Yellow souls. This will definitely help you when trying to
save your herbs and medicines.
LOOK FOR CHESTS!
Inside the chests are items which can heal Jubei in time of need. GREEN
HERBS are usually what are in there, though you might see other items,
too.
GRAB THE GOLD!
In the ground after killing monsters are gold. They have value, and rest
in different amounts. You can use Gold to buy things at the Mart in the
Village. Grab all of the Gold that you can!
SUPER JUBEI!
Possibly, if you've killed enough monsters, and absorb their souls, you
might become SUPER JUBEI! Resembling Super Dante in Devil May Cry, he
becomes way more powerful. Unfortunately, it lasts for a few seconds
only.
SPECIAL CHARACTER CHESTS!
If you see a chest that you cannot open with Jubei, it usually means
that you need a Special Character to bust it open, such as Magoichi, or
Kotaro. These chests are made specifically for the Special Character in
mind, so don't bother with them if you're Jubei.
LET PEOPLE HELP YOU!
Every so often, some guy with a shotgun or a big guy will assist you in
battle. They will help you, and in some cases, even help against bosses.
C. HEALTH
---------
YELLOW ORBS
These recharge your health. They come when Jubei's health is low. Try to
collect these as much as possible.
GREEN HERB
Like BioHazard/Resident Evil, this recharges a little bit of health to
Jubei. You can transform this into MEDICINE by spending PURPLE ORBS in
the MAGIC MIRROR.
MEDICINE
These can sometimes be found in chests, but you can upgrade GREEN HERBS
to these by spending a certain amount of PURPLE ORBS.
D. ORBS
-------
After killing off demons and getting that symbol marked on your hand,
you can absorb orbs that fly into the air. Here are the orbs in the game
encountered thus far. Small orbs usually provide a little bit of what
they offer, while middle sized ones offer moderate gifts. Giant ones
offer a whole lot.
YELLOW ORBS
These recharge your health. They come when Jubei's health is low. Try to
collect these as much as possible.
PURPLE ORBS
These fill up the gauge on the bottom. It is basically money used for
powering up your swords and armor. Use these on MAGIC MIRRORS when
powering up your supplies.
BLUE ORBS
Apparently, BLUE ORBS can be collected. Enough of them will turn you
into SUPER JUBEI.
E. SAVING
---------
In the game, there are MAGIC MIRRORS (a wooden cage with a blue light in
it). The first option to select is SAVE. You will need a PlayStation 2
Memory Card and 390 KB of data left to save the game. In the Japanese
version, the first option is to save (when you examine the MAGIC
MIRROR). Then select the first option given to you.
F. CHARACTERS
-------------
JUBEI YAGYU
The main character, and not a pretty sight to look at, either.
Regardless of his looks, his ass-kicking abilities are top notch. Jubei
is a troubled man that is hell-bent on revenge for the fall of his
village at the hands of Nobunaga. You will learn more about Jubei Yagyu
along your journey...
LORD NOBUNAGA ODA
Nobunaga was once a great leader that was killed in a grave battle.
Brought down to the demon world and resurrected as a future demon
leader. Now the leader of the demon world, Nobunaga wishes to destroy
every village that he can. This is the ghastly pale guy that you will
see throughout the game.
OYU
Oyu is the leading female character of the game. Everything about this
"Oyu" woman is a mystery, yet Jubei cannot leave her alone. If you wish
to learn more about the fog-shaded Oyu, you will have to complete the
game.
MOGOICHI SAIGA
My (Zoop's) favorite character in the game, Mogoichi Saiga is the gun-
slinging, Japanese Clint Eastwood character in Onimusha 2. You will know
who he is, as he's the only character that uses a gun! He's also a handy
partner to have in boss battles, and he's shrouded by a certain touch
of... elegance.
EKEI ANKOKUJI
Everything that Mogoichi Saiga is, Ekei Ankokuji is not. Elegant? Nope,
he's a drunk. Graceful? Nope, he stumbles. A hopeless dreamer, Ekei's
dream is to become a feudal lord, and Mogoichi scoffs at his dreams.
Needless to say, they do not get along. He also enjoys dirty magazines.
Enough said.
KOTARO FUMA
Kotaro is the girlish ninja from the Hojo Clan. "Girlish?" you say?
Well, he is. He feels as if Jubei should not trust Oyu, as he seeks past
her sexy charm. This only shrouds more mystery upon Oyu's figure
already. Should Jubei trust Oyu, or Kotaro?
GOGANDANTESS
"I am Goooooogandantess, the greatest swordsman of all demons!" shouts
Gogandantess, upon EVERY FREAKIN' TIME YOU SEE HIM. Regardless of the
funny way he talks, and his odd obsession with his sword, and the way
his scary nipples look, he truly IS the greatest swordsman of all
demons. Despite the fact that he is IS evil, you can't help but like
him, and his honorable ways...
GINGHAMPHATTS
This is the monster that you will encounter several times in your
journey through the villages, and into the hellish world of Onimusha.
He's obsessed with killing you, which isn't very nice. You can tell who
he is, considering he has more legs than the casual monster, and he
welds a huge axe.
JUJUDORMAH
This is the absolutely hideous looking beast-woman-thing that has an
infatuation with Lord Nobunaga. You may know her as "That scary lady-
monster with the Umbrella." Nevertheless, once you spot her, you WILL
know who she is.
TOKICHIRO
This little old man is widely known for being a rare human amongst the
demons. Not only is he the rare human, but he's also Lord Nobunaga's
right-hand man. Whatever Lord Nobunaga requests, it is Tokichiro's job
to deliver the goods. He's very intelligent, and is also known for his
stint in the original Onimusha, as well. But the real question is: Who's
uglier, Jubei or Tokichiro?
G. WEAPON LIST
--------------
YAGYU SWORD
A family legacy passed down from generation to generation, the Yagyu
Sword is your basic and generic sword with little value. It is extremely
weak and will not kill enemies right away.
BOW
This is your common Bow in the series. It's used for shooting Arrows
(regular), or Fire Arrows. Obviously, you want to save these for those
pesky hard-to-reach enemies that you will encounter along the way. Also,
be sure to not waste the Fire Arrows!
TANEGASHIMA
Whooooooo doggy! It's a shotgun! Kill those bunnies! All kidding aside,
the Shotgun is a choice weapon for those Arrow Shooters from far away,
or if you're feelin' lucky, punk, you can also take out most boss
enemies fairly easy with this gun-slinging... uh... gun.
BURAITOU
This will be your first "Prove Your Identity" weapon, and one of the
most useful weapons in the game. The Buraitou is a nasty sword that
takes a good nick out of your enemy here and there. If you enjoy using
swords, this will be your prime weapon of choice. Enjoy!
HYOUJIN-YARI
This is the weapon commonly known as the "Ice Lance." It shivers with
delight! This is a great weapon for ass-kicking in any size. This is the
preferred weapon against those pesky ALLIGATORS and MASKED WOMEN. The
special attack is to die for, as well. You will be zipping through the
bosses in no time with this handy weapon by your side!
SENPUMARU
The coolest weapon to pronounce is the Senpumaru. It is also known as
the "Wind Blade" by most gamers. It has the same effects as the one from
the first Onimusha title, except Jubei's swing it with a tad bit more
grace than his competition. Graceful or not, you can kick major butt
with this bad boy.
DOKOUTSUI
Known commonly as the "Earth Hammer" amongst Onimusha 2 players, the
Dokoutsui is one of the best weapons in the game, and is the strongest
weapon in the game. By the time that you get this baby up to Level 3,
you will have quite the advantage over the competition.
REKKA-KEN
A fire-drenched sword of pure power! This is the best weapon in the
game, bar none. You will have to earn it in the PURPLE PHANTHOM REALM,
though, which is no easy task!
========================================================================
3. WALKTHROUGH
========================================================================
************************************************************************
HUNTING FOR POWER
************************************************************************
After listening to the prologue which documents the events in Onimusha:
Warlords/Genma Onimusha, a war goes on in Yagyu Village. People are
murdered, and snakes are everywhere. A lone warrior, Jubei, walks into
the village. He sees a dead corpse, and hears a voice, calling him.
VILLAGE
Run down from the camera angle and down a set of stairs. You'll see a
cut-scene with a wounded man. Suddenly, the poor guy is attacked by
three soldiers, engaging you into battle. You will begin battling them,
so use your sword (Yagyu Sword) and slash them all to pieces. They fall
after one hit, but get up after a while, so make sure they're dead.
After the battle, run all the way down under a red entrance pier toward
the forest area. Go through the door at the end.
FOREST PATH
Run to the left and kill a few more soldiers. Check the chest across the
bridge for a YAGYU VILLAGE MAP. You'll hear someone calling Jubei, too,
so follow the path. Go through a double door at the end.
SPRING
Watch the cut-scene by walking forward. A door opens, and a woman
(Jubei's mother) continues to call for your voice. To the left of the
spring is a MAGIC MIRROR where you can save your game and upgrade, just
like the first Onimusha. But for now, move across the stones and through
the cave door.
CAVE
Walk straight down the cave, and pass that purple glowing light. You'll
see something rise from the ground, but continue down the cave. Go
through the double doors at the end.
POND HOUSE
You'll see that a purple light turn into a woman, who has been calling
you. She immobilizes Jubei and makes a symbol in his hand. She then
tells a story and you get the CHARITY ORB and a file (PLAY
INSTRUCTIONS), which tells about the controls in the game. To the left
is a chest with a HERB inside of it. Like the Resident Evil/BioHazard
series, GREEN HERBS heal some of your health. Return through the door
you went through.
CAVE
Run back through here to the SPRING. On your way, you'll get attacked by
a few soldiers, but this time after killing them, you can absorb their
souls by pressing X after they die. That purple sphere you saw earlier
contains souls that you can absorb.
SPRING
Skip across the stones again, and there's a chest hidden in the trees
with a GREEN HERB. Go to the MAGIC MIRROR. Watch the cut-scene, and
you'll get a new sword, which I only the last part's pronunciation
because it's Katakana. Watch the following cut-scene. You'll see a cut-
scene in the village. Jubei will be there, and will practically kick a
few guys' asses.
************************************************************************
VILLAGE EXPLORATION
************************************************************************
VILLAGE STREET
Run up the stairs you see in the distance.
VILLAGE MARKET
The chest nearby holds some kind of SPHERE in a holder. Run through the
area and exit on the other side.

Run around and talk to everyone, and then exit the room.
VILLAGE MARKET
Run across back to the VILLAGE STREET.
VILLAGE STREET
Run across the area and through the open door at the end.
GEAR HOUSE
To your left, flip a switch to lower a lift. Then turn right and run
across until you hit a barrel. Slash it with your sword, proceed, and
slash all other barrels with the sword. If the lift rises before you
can get on, use the switch pull again to lower it. Inside the chest is a
CLOTH. Ride the lift up to a yellow chest with a BOW and ARROWS. Now
ride the lift down and exit the room.
VILLAGE STREET
The chest nearby has a IMASHO MAP. Run left of the GEAR HOUSE and up a
small flight of stairs.
FOREST STAIRPATH
Run up and kill every soldier you see. On the chest to the left is a
TELESCOPE. Continue up the pathway and up the stairs.
WOODED AREA
Some man is blocking you from going further, so return down the stairs.
FOREST STAIRPATH
On your way back to the VILLAGE STREET, more soldiers will come, so kill
them all and absorb their souls.
VILLAGE STREET
Run to the middle of the area and through an open door. It is a shop.
VILLAGE BUILDING
Run up and watch a cut-scene. Once it ends, go up the stairs in this
room. You'll see a chest with a FOLDING FAN in it. Go back downstairs,
and run to that spiked haired man. Run up to him, press start, and use
the FOLDING FAN on him. You'll get a miscellaneous item from him. To the
left of the stairs, you'll see a man guarding a door. Talk to him, and
give him $100. You'll get a MOUNTAIN PERMIT. Run to an outside area in
this room. There is a MAGIC MIRROR where you can save the game and
upgrade your items. Upgrade your new SWORD. Exit the room.
VILLAGE STREET
Return to the FOREST STAIRPATH.
FOREST STAIRPATH
There will be more soldiers for you to battle, but Jubei will be able to
take care of them by now. Run up to the WOODED AREA.
WOODED AREA
The man will now let you pass. Run up to the chest to get a BOOK. Run
into the tunnel to see a cut-scene. Then run forward.
************************************************************************
CAVE AREAS
************************************************************************
WOODED CAVE
Run forward to the MAGIC MIRROR and save, and upgrade. Run forward into
the tunnel to the left of the MAGIC MIRROR.
WOODED CAVE TUNNEL
The chest nearby has a SCROLL in it. Now run up to the other chest and
there's a puzzle to solve.
************
CHEST PUZZLE
************
There are 4 arrows. There are 2 on the right hand side and 2 on the
bottom side. Press the TOP ARROW on the right side, and the LEFT ARROW
on the bottom side. You'll get another SCROLL. Now return to the WOODED
CAVE.
WOODED CAVE
Now take the tunnel right of the MAGIC MIRROR.
WOODEN BAMBOO TUNNEL
Walk up to the man and offer him your BERRIES. You'll get MEDICINE in
return. Proceed further down the tunnel, and in the chest is a TUNNEL
MAP. Proceed into another tunnel.
ALLIGATOR TUNNEL
You'll see a cut-scene with a new monster. It is the ALLIGATOR. The four
of them are vicious, so watch out and use the TRIANGLE BUTTON as well as
the SQUARE BUTTON to attack them. After killing them, proceed into the
next tunnel.
ALLIGATOR TUNNEL 2
Run up, and kill more ALLIGATORS. When you reach a fork, take the right
path.
ALLIGATOR TUNNEL 3
Run up, and kill all the ALLIGATORS. You'll then watch a cut-scene where
people help you out. The game will resume with someone helping you.
Continue fighting off ALLIGATORS. After it ends, watch another cut-
scene. Follow everyone, after the cut-scene.
CAVE TEMPLE
In the chest on the right is a SCROLL. Run up to the podium and you'll
see a cut-scene. You'll get a new weapon. It's a LONG SPEAR. It is super
powerful. Return to the previous room.
ALLIGATOR TUNNEL 3
Fight off more ALLIGATORS with your new LONG SPEAR. You'll get less orbs
for using the powerful weapon, so switch to the SWORD you usually use
just in case. Return to ALLIGATOR TUNNEL 2.
ALLIGATOR TUNNEL 2
Remember the fork? Well, take the other path now.
GLOWING OBJECT ROOM
Watch the cut-scene, and you'll see a YELLOW JEWEL on the ground. Grab
it, and head to the glowing object blocking an exit. Hit it with your
LONG SPEAR. Then proceed down.
LONG TUNNEL
Run forward, and you'll see a chest with MEDICINE inside. Further down
is a MAGIC MIRROR. Save and upgrade if you want. Further down is a stone
door. You'll use a BLUE ORB to open it, so go through.
MACHINE ROOM
Watch the cut-scene with the first boss of the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS # 1: GINGHAMPHATTS
DIFFICULTY: HARD
Well, take your SWORD and start slashing the hell out of the thing from
behind. When you take control of Jubei, make sure you hit it fast and
hard. It will block many shots it's facing. Don't be afraid to use GREEN
HERBS to heal damage.
At some point, the vicious monster will jump, so move out of the way to
compensate. Keep hacking and slashing. Use the TRIANGLE BUTTON sword
move, too. It'll also suck you up, so try to defend against it, because
it'll swipe you.
Eventually, the guy you saw earlier will show up to help, when the
monster's really, REALLY pissed off. During the battle, don't forget to
absorb souls.
When the monster's pissed, don't be afraid to use the TRIANGLE BUTTON.
It'll take a lot of hits to kill the monster. You'll need to use A LOT
of healing items.
Eventually, the monster will die after a load of assault. It'll give off
a lot of orbs and jewels. Follow that guy into the tunnel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOUNDED MAN TUNNEL
Run passed the wounded man. Head down another tunnel.
CHEST TUNNEL

See that dead body? Use the PURIFY CHARM you found on it, to get another
BRONZE MASK (LEFT) on the ground. Grab it, and the YELLOW BOOK on the
shelf. Exit the room.
PALACE STAIRWAY
Run to the PALACE MAGIC MIRROR ROOM.
PALACE MAGIC MIRROR ROOM
Run to those double doors. Remember the 2 BRONZE MASK PIECES you got?
Use both of them on the door for it to open.
MESS ROOM
Watch the cut-scene. Then kill the SKELETON MEN. After the cut-scene,
check the chest in the adjacent area of this room for MEDICINE. head
through the doors at the end of this room. They are down a small flight
of stairs.
LAVA ROOM
Run forward to witness yet another cut-scene. Then you'll witness yet
another boss battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS # 2: GOGANDANTESS
DIFFICULTY: HARD
CVXFREAK's Strategy:
This thing will avoid your attacks fairly easily. Also, normal attacks
won't work. This is an extremely difficult boss. Just try to fight the
monster off until that woman shows up. The battle is over...
Zoop's Strategy:
Don't even bother fighting it. Keep on guard at all times, and only
strike it to defend yourself. You won't even injure him, so just play it
out until it's over!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAVA TUNNEL
Run forward. Climb the ladder at the end.
PALACE YARD
Remember this room? It's another room from the first Onimusha. Examine
the big rock in the middle of the room. You'll get the FAITH ORB. Use it
on the big meteor in the room and then it turns into a metal horse.
Watch the cut-scenes now. We are now back in the village.
************************************************************************
WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN
************************************************************************
VILLAGE BARN YARD
Exit this room.
VILLAGE MARKET
Run down this street and talk to a person with an Umbrella on their
head. It is a monster, and you end up in the very first area of the
game!
VILLAGE
See the broken door behind Jubei? Go through it.
HOUSE
Run up, and turn to Jubei's left. Kill the monster. There's another
locked box to solve...
******************************
ANOTHER CHEST PUZZLE... AGAIN!
******************************
Here is the solution:
RIGHT ARROW, top row
BOTTOM ARROW, right row
Exit the room after getting the GOLD CREST.
VILLAGE
Run forward and nearby is a MAGIC MIRROR for saving and enhancing. Run
to the FOREST PATH.
FOREST PATH
Run forward and try to kill all the monsters here. Use the LONG SPEAR.
Run to the POND HOUSE.
SPRING
Enter the CAVE.
CAVE
Run through the cave, avoid the monsters. Go through the doors at the
end.
POND HOUSE
Watch the cut-scene. Then pick up the RING OF TAKAJO on the ground. Then
exit.
CAVE
Run back through here to the SPRING.
SPRING
Run back to the FOREST PATH.
FOREST PATH
Return to the VILLAGE.
VILLAGE
Go to the HOUSE.
HOUSE
Go to the room in the house, and there's a "wall" that Jubei needs to
knock down with Japanese writing on it. In the kitchen area is a chest
with a FORK in it. In the adjacent hallway is a door. Go through.
BEDROOM
You'll see a brown cabinet. Use the RING OF TAKAJO that you've got. Now
you have to solve a puzzle.
**************
CABINET PUZZLE
**************
Ok if you mean the puzzle which you wanna input 4 kanji in right order
then it was up 3 times,down 2 times,left 2 times,right 1 time. Gahleon
Thankfully, Gahleon from the GameFAQS Onimusha 2 Message Board helped me
out with this one. The first option you get is UP. Press the UP option 3
times. Then the second option, DOWN, should be pressed twice. Then press
the LEFT option 2 times, and the RIGHT option once. A secret ladder will
be revealed, so have Jubei descend into it.
UNDERGROUND TUNNEL
Run down the tunnel. You'll see a cut-scene where Jubei nearly falls
down a trap, but luckily, he can jumps out of the way. Proceed forward
(Jubei will jump over the hole). There are 3 ropes at the end. So break
them, and a trap will be sprung. Run back to the hole and cross it so
Jubei will be hanging on the edge. Wait until the blade bypasses Jubei
so you can run down to where the blade was. To the right is the exit.
CLIFFSIDE
Save and upgrade your items if you must. There are crocodile creatures
here, so be aware. After killing all the creatures, you'll see a chest
you can't open. Along the way is a spinning blue wheel. Use your sword
(second item in weapons section) and slash it for a NOBUNAGA'S
KNOWLEDGE. Run forward, and up the ladder. Continue down the path and
you'll see a blocked cave we need to unlock. Continue up the ladder
nearby. Run forward and continue up the ladder.
MOUNTAINSIDE BRIDGE
Run across the bridge and use your ICE LANCE to kill those big
creatures. They aren't hard to kill. Head down the stairs.
MOUNTAINSIDE PATH
There is a chest nearby you can open. Inside is a GREEN HERB which you
might need right now, although you can save it. Head down to find
another chest with a MAP inside it. Further down is a shrine of some
sort. Have Jubei put his hand inside for another cut-scene. Jubei will
get a new weapon, which is really powerful. I like to call it the BLADE.
Nearby, you can save and upgrade. Try to upgrade your sword.
MOUNTAINSIDE FOREST PATH
Test out your new WIND BLADE by killing every monster in this room for
orbs. You'll notice that Jubei's gotten a little faster and his new
weapon is really powerful. Go further along the path.
MOUNTAINSIDE ILLUSION FOREST PATH
Go down, and you'll be presented with 2 paths to take. Take the path to
the right.
MOUNTAINSIDE FOREST PATH 2
Kill all the monsters here. Then proceed down.
MOUNTAINSIDE FOREST PATH
We're back here again, but how??? (I smell another Devil May Cry here!).
Take the left path this time.
MOUNTAINSIDE FOREST PATH 3
Kill all monsters, and then proceed down the path.
MOUNTAINSIDE FOREST PATH
OK, defeat that yellow creature. Then the real path will be revealed.
Continue down the next few pathways, repeating this pattern. Defeat all
the enemies, the yellow creatures, etc. in order to get to the real
pathway. Along the way, a lot of those SHIELDED WARRIORS will appear, so
dodge them. (You should go back and save before proceeding).
MOUNTAINSIDE FOREST PATH 2
When the music changes, you're out of that stupid illusion. Move forward
to watch a cut-scene with Jujudormah, the Umbrella woman. You'll then
have to face Boss # 1 again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS # 3: GINGHAMPHATTS #2
DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM
CVXFREAK's Strategy:
He isn't nearly as difficult as before. What you want to do is hit him
as much as you can, and if Jubei gets hit, heal him if you have the
items. Use the BLADE because it is a very quick weapon against him. When
he runs into the bushes, just keep running back and forth to avoid
getting rammed by it. When it stops, just slash it like hell. Try to
absorb orbs as you go, and eventually Jubei will defeat this evil
creature. If it is too hard, try to get Jubei's BLADE to Level 2 so he
can have more powerful attacks.
Zoop's Strategy:
One of the easier ways to keep a leveled head in this area is to listen
and watch. If the leafs fall, that means Ginghamphatts will run a zig-
zag route towards or against you. Learn his patterns and you will know
which direction he will come at. This battle is easiest with Mogoichi at
your side ("Didcha miss me?" We sure did!), and be sure to hide in
between the non-walking areas, so Ginghamphatts cannot get to you. Be
ready to dodge his attacks, though, as they are VERY nasty if he
connects.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once GINGHAMPHATTS is defeated, you'll get NOBUNAGA'S REIGN. run back to
the Save Point and use all your Souls to enhance your weapons and armor.
Move forward to save the game. Continue moving through the forest past
where you defeated GINGHAMPHATTS.
MONSTER LAKE
There is another Save Point. Kill these Serpent Creatures in the water.
They aren't too hard. Run across the puddle through the door.
SPIKE ROOM
In this room, you should have a NOBUNAGA TROPHY. Insert it into the slot
in the wall up ahead. Then take the path left of the lake.
DIRTPATH
Run forward passed all the monsters until you get to the blue spinning
wheel. Equip the SWORD (second weapon in your weapons inventory). Then
hack at the blue spinning wheel. Behind it is yet another NOBUNAGA
TROPHY. This one is NOBUNAGA'S DIGNITY. Return to the MONSTER LAKE.
MONSTER LAKE
Run across the puddle through the door.
SPIKE ROOM
Run forward and pull the lever. Then you'll see three images of
Nobunaga, that evil prick from the first Onimusha (and the start of the
game). You'll notice those images are of the 3 NOBUNAGA TROPHIES you
have. The order in which they go is COMPLETELY RANDOM, so best of luck
completing it. If you miss several times, the spikes will try to crush
you. Solving the puzzle will open up a stairway. Go back to the MONSTER
LAKE and save your game; then go back here and descend down.
************************************************************************
PROCEEDING FURTHER
************************************************************************
UNDERGROUND TUNNEL
Run forward and press TRIANGLE to defeat the big creature. Then go
through the door.
UNDERGROUND TUNNEL 2
Proceed forward. Then kill every monster including that green tentacle
thing. Slash with the BLADE. Once they're all dead, upgrade your BLADE
or any weapon or armor you want to upgrade, and then proceed forward.
Save the game, too. Proceed through the door.
UNDERGROUND ROOM
Watch the cut-scene with that weird woman. Then you finally get to
battle her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS # 4: JUJUDORMAH
DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM
Now we get to battle her. Her umbrella serves as a defense mechanism so
slash at her defenseless areas. She sends little orbs your way, which
hurt Jubei. Keep attacking her. She can sometimes teleport but the room
is fairly small so as long as Jubei keeps moving, it doesn't matter.
Eventually, slashing and healing enough will kill that crazy woman.
Jubei will get a lot of orbs and another one of those little BLUE
SPHERES which Jubei is out to collect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNDERGROUND TUNNEL 2
Upgrade your weapons and armor with all the orbs you might have
collected. Then save the game. Then return to the UNDERGROUND ROOM.
UNDERGROUND ROOM
Run to the little red button glowing on the wall and press it to reveal
another tunnel. Go through.
UNDERGROUND TUNNEL 3
In the chest is a GREEN HERB. All of a sudden, the room spews with gas.
Run out of there as fast as you can. Then when you reach the outside,
watch a cut-scene and Jubei ends up in a CAVERN.
CAVERN
Run forward to the chest to grab another scroll. Then examine that
yellow thing in the room. Save your game as well. When examining the
yellow thing, just say YES. Then watch the cut-scene to end up on a
beach.
BEACH
Another cut-scene will reveal that swordsman from before, GOGANDANTESS.
You'll have to battle him again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS # 5: GOGANDANTESS
DIFFICULTY: HARD
This thing will avoid your attacks fairly easily. Also, normal attacks
won't work. This is an extremely difficult boss. Just try to fight the
monster off until that woman shows up. The battle is over... (Boss battle
is basically the same as before)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

floor. If you want (this is optional), you can enter the PHANTHOM REALM
by standing over the GREEN FORCEFIELD and using the GREEN WEDGE. It's
not as hard as the DARK REALM from ONIMUSHA: WARLORDS, but it's not that
simple, either. If you decide to, make it to the final floor and collect
the PERFECT MEDICINE and the PURPLE NECKLACE from the chests. Now exit
the room.
WATER WALKWAY
Zoom over to the door opposite of where you are.
UNIQUE HALL
Grab the GIFU EAST AREA MAP from the chest and go through the next door.

Annoying ARROW SHOOTERS reside here. Kill them with the WIND BLADE. Keep
going.
GREAT POWDER TUBE HALL
If you're MAGOICHI, crack open the SPECIAL CHARACTER CHEST. If not,
ignore it. Grab the GREAT POWDER TUBE. If you're Magoichi, take it back
to Jubei. A demon will take it away, but just kill him. If he disappears
with it, exit the room and re-enter. He'll be there. If you're just
Jubei, go and break the JEWEL with the WIND BLADE and go through.
BONE BRIDGE ROOM
An HERB and a PUZZLE BOX lie within this room. Here's the combination:

right, into that hole in the wall. Follow this path and you will reach a
PUZZLE BOX containing a MAGIC JEWEL. Here's the solution:

After this, use the MAGIC JEWEL, then kill the TOAD behind you.
Backtrack and follow the path until you reach a fork in the road. Go
left, and grab the HERB. Then kill the TOAD behind you. Now go right at
the fork in the road to reach a fan. Get out the WIND BLADE and hit

the GOGANDANTESS SHIELD file and the SECRET MEDICINE in the chests.
COLLAPSING ROOM
Get prepared for an easy boss battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS # 6: GOGANDANTESS
DIFFICULTY: EASY
After the honorable movie sequence, as well as around eight thousand of
Gogandantess' catchphrases, the battle starts. Go to the menu right away
and find the SACRED FLUTE on the items list. Use it. If you read the
GOGANDANTESS SHIELD document, you know that this will break Dantess'
shield, which makes him guard you constantly. NOW the fun can begin!
Take out your WIND BLADE, first and foremost. Get near Gogandantess and
use your Special Attack by pressing TRIANGLE. This will send a Tornado
in the area you're in to destroy Gogandantess. Dantess is VERY weak
against this attack, and it hits him a lot, so keep it in mind.
If you run low on magic, just bust out a different weapon and use your
Special Attack with it. Keep in mind that Gogandantess is EXTREMELY
agile in this battle, so using the EARTH HAMMER and ICE LANCE's Special
Attacks are a complete gamble. The LIGHTNING SWORD, however, works
fairly decent. This should easily be enough to take him down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, you will have to tell Gogandantess who he is. He's
quite impressed with your skills, and leaves you with the RESPECT ORB.
Four down, one to go. Go through the green door.
FIRE PIPE ROOM
This is a little maze of pipes, in which you can get special items.
Climb the ladder and walk across the pipe to the very end, then cross
it. Climb back up and you will reach an HERB. Go back across the area
and go to the closest pipe to the ladder and walk back towards the
entrance this way. Strike the pipes and back away, as they will explode.
Open to the chest to get a MEDICINE. Turn a 180 and go across to the
PUZZLE BOX. Inside is a POWER JEWEL. Here's the combination:
3 5
* * *
4 * *
* *
* * 1
* * *
2
With that solved, you can now cross the platforms to reach the next
area. Climb the ladder and go through the door.
BIG SHRINE ROOM
Put the RESPECT ORB in the BIG SHRINE. Watch the cut-scene.
AIRSHIP ROOM
Save your progress and investigate the ship. Watch the movie sequence,
then you will be thrown into a "test," of sorts. You must turn both L3
and R3 in opposite directions at the same time to lift the gate without
it getting jammed. Watch the movie sequence afterwards... We're getting
close to the end, but you could probably tell with all of these movie
sequences.
AIRSHIP ENGINE ROOM
A MAGIC MIRROR rests in this room, so you can Save, if you really want
to. Grab the MAGIC LIQUID at the end of the room, which you will want to
save for the last boss, and solve the PUZZLE BOX for a MAGIC JEWEL.
Here's that lovely solution to this brain-buster:
2 6
* * *
* *
5 * * 3
* * 1
* * *
4
Now that's done, so let's go into the next room, shall we?
PANTRY ROOM

open a barrel and grab the hidden MEDICINE in the chest there. Now exit.

Ignore the enemies and go straight into the double doors in the middle.
CENTER ROOM
Kill the enemies and suck the RED SOULS from the shrine. Grab ARTWORK
#15, then grab the PURPLE WEDGE. Now go up the ladder in the back of the
room to meet a not-so-friendly Boss.
ROOFTOP
Uh oh. Houston... We've got trouble.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS # 7: BIG SOUL SUCKER
DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM
This boss battle is a big different than most. Remember Dark World's 2nd
Dungeon boss from Zelda: A Link To The Past? It's kind of like that. The
boss will send small versions of itself to hit you, and when it does,
defeat them each with your LIGHTNING SWORD. This will take good timing
and nice accuracy.
Eventually, you will destroy every one of the little SOUL SUCKERS, which
means that the mama wants to play! BIG SOUL SUCKER will come towards
you, but at this point, it's not that tough of a battle, so don't worry
too much. Just use your LIGHTNING SWORD's Special Attack a few times,
and if you run out, get out the WIND BLADE and use its Special Attack.
This will take care of it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Afterwards, collect the GOLD SCALE. Place the GOLD SCALE into the
opening on to roof's gold statue. This will reveal the path to the
gutter of the Demon World. Exciting, non? Now climb back down the
ladder.
CASTLE BALCONY
Destroy the TOAD on the path to the Demon World. If you want the REKKA-
KEN, however, you might want to go into the SHACK ROOM before you enter
the Demon World. Use the PURPLE WEDGE to access the PURPLE PHANTHOM
REALM. Only good players should do this, though. Good luck!
Otherwise/After, enter the FISH TOWER.
FISH TOWER
Suck up the MAGIC SOULS and Enhance/Save your progress. I HIGHLY suggest
you save here, by the way. Possibly the toughest boss battle in the game
is next. Afterwards, climb the ladder.
BRAIN TOWER
..Now you hear the voice of Ginghamphatts. When will he learn his lesson?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS # 8: GINGHAMPHATTS #3
DIFFICULTY: HARD
This battle is going to be a very tiring battle that will last longer
than any other thus far, and possibly longer than the last boss battle.
You should be relatively close to your transformation, and you may even
transform twice, or even three times during this battle. It's best to
attack without stopping when you do go into the transformation.
Use your Special Attacks on all weapons, starting out with the EARTH
HAMMER. Once it is ran dry, switch over to the ICE LANCE. Why these two
first? Because the LIGHTNING SWORD is a preferred "Finish The Job"
weapon, and you will need the WIND BLADE for a future form of
Ginghamphatts.
Ginghamphatts' attacks are pretty simple: He will stomp on you every
nice and then, and he will swing that huge blade of his, just like the
previous battles. One form, though, is his deadliest. He will split into
two forms: His Legs, and his Body. You will want to go after his Body
section, which will float in the air, with the WIND BLADE's Special
Attack.
If you run too low on health, go ahead and drink some MEDICINE down. Be
sure to save up at least 5 to 8 MEDICINES, or any variation of them, for
the last boss, as he will be a tad bit tougher, and a LOT stronger, than
GINGHAMPHATTS #3.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, you gain the final orb: the STRENGTH ORB. Thank
goodness we finally put an end to GINGHAMPHATTS. Absorb those SOULS and
climb down the ladder.
FISH TOWER
Fill up your MAGIC METER with the MAGIC SOULS... You're gonna need all the
magic you can get. ~ENHANCE~ and ~SAVE YOUR GAME~, as this is your FINAL
CHANCE to. Go over to the Skeleton Elevator and put the STRENGTH ORB
into the slot. Watch the movie sequence, and travel up...
DEMON RULER SHRINE
A kick-ass movie sequence ensues, and you're met by the final boss... LORD
NOBUNAGA!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS # 9: LORD NOBUNAGA ODA
DIFFICULTY: HARD
At the very start of the battle, pause the screen. Catch your breath,
make sure your health is close to full, and equip the EARTH HAMMER.
Unpause and press TRIANGLE quickly. Use up all of your Special Attacks
with the EARTH HAMMER, then quickly switch to the ICE LANCE. Once again,
we use these two first due to a later form of battle.
As soon as you get done with the first two weapons, equip the LIGHTNING
SWORD. This is our usual "Finish Him Off" weapon, but not tonight. We'll
save the WIND BLADE for that. Hit Lord Nobunaga with the LIGHTNING
SWORD's Special Attack before he transforms into the version that flies,
which, I must admit, is NOT a fun battle.
When he starts flying, switch to the WIND BLADE. Use the Special Attack
of the WIND BLADE while he is up above you. This will even lower him
down towards you so you can get an extra hit or two. If you have
regained enough magic on your other weapons, quickly equip one and use
the Special Attack while he's grounded.
Keep in mind to use up all of those MAGIC LIQUIDS and other MAGIC items
to regain your MAGIC METER. The most common form of Lord Nobunaga will
be flying, so make sure you fill up with the WIND BLADE, and attack him
very steadily. Eventually, he will fall to his death.
..or not? No, Lord Nobunaga Oda is not dead... He's only beginning. You
will get sucked into the bowels of the Demon Lord himself, which is not
very pretty, but nonetheless... Jubei Yagyu will permanently transform
into the ONI version of himself for the rest of the battle. Oh yes, it's
time to kick some booty.
When the battle starts off, be sure to keep hitting the SQUARE, which
will fire missile-like objects at Lord Nobunaga's Armageddon-ish figure.
This will hit different parts of Lord Nobunaga, weakening each part to
the very last drop. Eventually, all of the parts will fall off, but it's
not that easy...
The controls for this portion of the battle are quite screwy, but don't
worry, you will get the hang of things very quickly. Two of the common
attacks are the Boulder Horns, which consists or sharp boulders coming
up from the ground and hurting you (you can avoid these easily, as pink
circles appear before the sharp rocks do), and his Fireball trick. He
will shoot three Fireballs, but you can eliminate them by shooting them.
The problems begin when he starts to walk towards you. If you get sucked
up underneath him, it could easily kill you, so you must pay attention
when to STOP attacking and run. To make matters worse, he will sometimes
even have a Flamethrower that will damage you that goes from side to
side, ala Onimusha: Warlords. You must NOT attack at anytime when Lord
Nobunaga is walking towards you.
He also has the generic Laser attack, which is nothing to fear, however,
his last set of attacks include freaky Large Heads that come out and
zoom towards you. While these aren't much to worry about, the Shrunken
Heads attack is. A series of Shrunken Heads will surround you, and not
allow you to hit Lord Nobunaga. On top of this, they will spit Poison
Gas at you after they block your attack.
After a while, this battle will end. The battle itself isn't hard, it's
just when Lord Nobunaga does make contact, it stings. Badly.

Congratulations! You've beaten ONIMUSHA 2! Now go rock out to some of

4. STORY
========================================================================
10 years ago...
A lone warrior named Samanosuke, and his companion, Kaede, went to the
village, to discover than Princess Yuki was kidnapped. Finding his way
through caves, monsters, and traps, he managed to find Princess Yuki and
a boy she took care of, and gets lost in a battle with an insane beast.
No one knows what ever happened to Samanosuke... but at the end, he's
seen, overlooking a castle, alive.
Now, 10 years later...
NOTE: This is judging from the scenes in the game. If anyone has a
translated synopsis, please tell me!
A village in feudal Japan starts the day off as usual, until an army
attacks it. People are killed one by one. A woman, protecting her child,
is stomped on. People try to aimlessly defend the village, but people
are burned, skewered and murdered, gruesomely.
A lone warrior, Yagyu Jubei, walks into the village, angry at what
happened, and vows to get revenge. He hears a woman call his name, and
follows the noise to a cave, where he is granted powers to absorb
spirits, and save the village.

6. MONSTER/BOSS LIST
========================================================================
SOLDIER
Wielding a sword, these guys are a little hard to kill. Slash them up
repeatedly and try to stab them when they're on the ground. They give
moderate amounts of orbs.
ALLIGATOR
These are pretty dangerous, but not too dangerous as a whole. Quickly
slash at them for more souls, and use the TRIANGLE BUTTON on them. There
are a lot of them in areas.
ARROW SHOOTERS
These pesky suckers will attack from afar, and will more than likely do
more damage to you than all of the regular enemies in the game. Why, you
ask? Because it's hard to attack them when they hide way above towards
the sky! Take'em out with the SHOTGUN, or the BOW.
MASKED WOMAN
They fight a lot like SOLDIERS, and are a little weaker in stamina, too.
They like to flip away, though. Attack them with the LONG SPEAR for
maximum results.
SKELETON WARRIORS
These guys are tough, but not too tough when you use Jubei's special
attack through the TRIANGLE BUTTON. They inflict a lot of pain, but an
aggressive special attack will kill them before they can realize what
hit them.
ROLLING MONSTERS
Like the first Onimusha, their attacks when rolling are hard to avoid.
Use the LONG SPEAR against them to stop them in their tracks, and then
hit them fast and hard when they're vulnerable.
SOUL ABSORBING MONSTERS
They might be too high for Jubei to kill, but try using the LONG SPEAR.
After they die, which is a fairly easy thing to do, they release the
souls they stole from you. Capture the souls.
SHEILDED WARRIOR
These guys are great at blocking Jubei's attacks. So use Jubei's special
attacks with the TRIANGLE BUTTON to kill them instantly.
GIANT GENIE CREATURES
These guys are big, but they can still get hurt easily. Hit them fast
before they hit Jubei with those logs they wield. They give a
considerable amount of orbs.
YELLOW FLYING CREATURE
These guys appear in the forest. They are easy to defeat.
ROBOT
You will find these Robot-like demon produces in the Factory areas. They
reproduce demons like crazy, so keep in mind to attack them swiftly. If
you don't get the battle over quickly, you will have more than a handful
to deal with.
WALL CREATURES
These Wall Creatures can take a heavy beating and still beat you up.
You'll need a whole lot of bad-assness in your system to tackle these
monsters with little to no damage received. A Special attack with the
ol' Lightning Sword will take them down quite a bit.

A. ONIMUSHA GAMES
-----------------
ONIMUSHA 2: SAMURAI'S DESTINY
RELEASE DATE: March 2002 (Japan); August 2002 (USA)
PLATFORM: Sony PlayStation 2
One of the best looking PlayStation 2 games, Onimusha 2: Samurai's
Destiny, has been the best selling PS2 game in 2002. Featuring character
Jubei Yagyu (or Yagyu Jubei, my interpretation of the Japanese speech is
weak), you sword sling through the game once again.
ONIMUSHA: WARLORDS
RELEASE DATE: Spring 2001
PLATFORM: Sony PlayStation 2
Onimusha: Warlords is an action game in feudal Japan. Featuring
Samanosuke, he had to rescue Princess Yuki. The game was extremely
successful; it was the first PS2 game to sell 1 Million in Japan and the
US. Though the graphics seemed a little dated compared to Resident Evil
CODE: Veronica X (released for the PS2 and Dreamcast around the same
time in Japan), it was because the game was meant to be on both
PlayStation and N64. Since then, it has spawned re-releases under the
"Mega Hits" label in Japan, the "Greatest Hits" label in the US and the
"Platinum" label in Europe.
GENMA ONIMUSHA
RELEASE DATE: Early 2002
PLATFORM: Microsoft XBOX
Microsoft decided to enter the console wars in early 2001. Their ultra-
powerful XBOX can do graphical effects the PlayStation 2 can't do.
Capcom, being the company they are, usually takes advantage of their
more successful games- by porting them to another console. And with the
XBOX's awesome power, they did just that. Making the game much more
difficult and adding new graphical effects, bosses, etc., Capcom re-
released the game for XBOX. It is basically the hardest version yet. If
Genma Onimusha were translated, it would mean Extremely Difficult Demon
Slaying (correct me if I'm wrong; my Japanese is weak). It says it all-
this is ultimately a harder version of the PS2 Onimusha: Warlords.
========================================================================
9. CONCLUSION
========================================================================
Note that since I, ZoopSoul (David McCutcheon, or ZoopNOVA on IGN), have
taken over, the game has been translated in most matters to the English
version of the game. This includes the names of Characters, Weapons,
Items, Bosses, etc. So the Japanese translations are no longer needed. I
must admit, working with CVXFREAK is a dream come true, and I didn't
have to do much with the guide to perfect it. This is my first joint
venture in FAQing, and I'm happy to say it has been fun. Thanks to
everyone. - David "Zoop" McCutcheon

FAQ SITES: If this FAQ appears on CheatCC.com or anywhere else except
GameFAQS, NeoSeeker or PSXCodez, then please let me know immediately.
EMAIL (CVXFREAK): If you want to e-mail me, make sure the question isn't
answered in the FAQ. Plus, put "Onimusha 2" in the header and I can help
you from there. I've been getting a load of Klez lately, and it's
annoying me. Also, make sure the e-mail is in English, because I get
German mail occasionally.
E-MAIL (David McCutcheon): Be sure to contact me if you need anything
after the part of where I've taken over in the walkthrough (which I
note). I could probably help you with CVXFREAK's part, too. Make sure
the e-mail is in English, as I speak no other language. Also make sure
that whatever you want to ask is NOT located in this guide. Search the
guide by Holding Control (Ctrl) and pressing F. My e-mail is
[email protected], if you don't find it anywhere else. Regards. - David
AIM (CVXFREAK): Don't AIM me. Ever. I'll block you if you do.
AIM (David McCutcheon): I'm not as bad as CVXFREAK, but do not expect me
to talk to you all day if you IM me. I don't mind e-mail, but IMs make
me nervous. So ask a question and leave. My AIM is ZoopNOVA. Thanks.
