SENGOKU BASARA 2 TITLES GUIDE

SENGOKU BASARA 2 TITLES GUIDE

============
INTRODUCTION
============

This guide is for Sengoku Basara 2 only. The english sequel (if it DOES come
out) may or may not have the same features, so this guide may be irrelevant
for that game. Someone in the SB2 board have listed all the titles, but the
order was incorrect (if I'm not mistaken it was shadow780). You may consider
this guide as a correction to the order of titles in that thread, although I
discovered these titles in my own play. I use the classic (row)-(column)
method in listing the titles instead of mentioning their names so everyone can
understand them. This also applies for titles that require you to use a
certain item in battle. I list the items in the order they appear in your
character's pre-battle inventory screen.

What are titles? They are the list of specific achievements that you
performed in Unification Mode. Things you do in Story Mode will earn you no
titles (except one, see below). They appear in the Gallery. Each title is
worth points. Getting a certain number of points will unlock a character
(Musashi) & a few items.

Note that Musashi's stage (the one where you fight him one-on-one on Ganryu
Island) DOES NOT count as a battle. For example, the title that requires you
to score 500 hits in every battle doesn't require you to score 500 hits
against Musashi. Also, you don't even have to survive that fight to achieve
most of the titles.

Some of the titles can also stack upon each other. For example, by beating
Mitsuhide with your Drive Mode Basara move while you're in critical
condition, you'll get titles (2)-(1), (2)-(2) and (3)-(2). If no certain
difficulty is required by a certain title, then you can achieve it in any
difficulty.

If you don't know where the Gallery is, it's the second option from the
bottom in the Main Menu screen, which is unlocked after you beat Story Mode
once. In the Gallery menu, the Titles option is the bottom one.

TITLES LIST
===========

I list the titles starting from top left to bottom right. Alright, here we
go:

Row Column Title Worth Title Description
=== ====== =========== =================
(1) (1) 10 points Beat Unification mode with any character under
Normal difficulty.
(1) (2) 15 points Beat Unification mode with any character under
Hard difficulty.
(1) (3) 20 points Beat Unification mode with any character under
Extreme difficulty.

(2) (1) 3 points Kill one boss with any character's Basara move.
(2) (2) 3 points Finish one battle in critical condition (i.e.,
your HP is red).
(2) (3) 13 points Finish one battle without losing any health. You
can do this in any difficulty. Note that if you
lose health because of your own skills (such as
Nobunaga's final skill), even if no enemies
manage to attack you, you still fail. Using
Yukimura's personal item also falls under this
rule.

(3) (1) 10 points Kill all bosses with your character's Basara
move.
(3) (2) 5 points Kill one boss with Drive Mode Basara move. You
need to be in critical condition. (Thanks to The
Giant Hoeruo)
(3) (3) 50 points Finish Unification mode under Extreme difficulty
without saving. You must finish at least one
battle without losing any health. This one can be
very tough for some characters. I recommend a Lv
50+ Zabi and Mitsuhide for it because they have
the invincibility skill.

(4) (1) 3 points Kill one boss with a mounted attack (i.e., ride a
horse and land the finishing blow). Not all
stages have horses in it, by the way. The best
stage to do this IMO is the Odawara Castle stage
(daytime) because, well, Ujimasa is relatively
weak.
(4) (2) 5 points Kill one boss with your Taunt. For this one, use
Musashi and equip his personal item (item (24)-
(5) in your inventory). Watch the massive damage
- in Extreme, the spit actually kills Generals in
one hit if you have Musashi's final weapon.
(4) (3) 1 point Equip item (11)-(5) and finish one battle.

(5) (1) 1 point Equip item (13)-(1), (13)-(2) or (13)-(3)
and finish one battle. (Thanks to The Giant
Hoeruo)
(5) (2) 1 point Equip item (13)-(4) and finish one battle.
(5) (3) 1 point Equip item (13)-(5) and finish one battle.

(6) (1) 1 point Equip item (12)-(1) and finish one battle.
(6) (2) 1 point Equip item (11)-(4) and finish one battle.
(6) (3) 1 point Equip item (12)-(2) and finish one battle.
(thanks to Kuroitatsunoshi)

(7) (1) 10 points Beat Unification mode with less than 100 enemies
killed. Simply go straight to the boss
in each battle for this one.
(7) (2) 10 points Beat Unification mode with more than 7000 enemies
killed. This one is actually easier to
figure out than title (7)-(1) XD
(7) (3) 7 points Beat Unification mode and score a combo of 500
hits or more in every battle.

(8) (1) 5 points Clear 100 battles or more. Story mode battles
also count for this title.
(8) (2) 3 points Beat Unification mode without saving under any
difficulty.
(8) (3) 9 points Beat Unification mode in approximately 30 minutes
(I don't know for sure because the title
description doesn't say this, actually).

(9) (1) 25 points Beat Unification mode with only your first weapon
and no other equipments. You may still use any
skill. You need to play in Extreme difficulty
as well (Thanks to The Giant Hoeruo)
(9) (2) 8 points Beat Unification mode in Normal difficulty with
your final weapon equipped in every battle.
(9) (3) 12 points Obtain 24 treasure chests in one battle. This one
is a little tricky. The Odawara Castle stage is
actually the only place you can get 24 chests.
Equip items (17)-(1) to (17)-(5) which will give
you 5 extra treasure chests after you finish the
battle. Kill all 9 enemy generals, including
Ujimasa. Achieve a combo of 500 hits three times
to get three more chests. Look for two more
chests laying around somewhere on the map (I
forgot the exact location, but for the nighttime
version of the stage, they will be in the far
corner behind Ujimasa's final position).

(10) (1) 3 points Eat 30 or more HP-replenishing items (the
Onigiri) in one battle.
(10) (2) 3 points Eat 30 or more Energy-replenishing items (the
Sake bottles) or the HP & Energy replenishing
items (the huge white rice boxes) in one battle.
(10) (3) 10 points Obtain a Lv10 treasure from conquered
territories. For this title, use characters whose
base is on the furthermost edges of the map, such
as Motonari, Yoshihiro or Itsuki and always
attack only territories directly adjacent to you
to give the AI the chance to conquer more
territories. You can soft reset (press
Start+Select) to change the results of the AI's
battles.

(11) (1) 1 point Beat Unification mode with Date Masamune.
(11) (2) 1 point Beat Unification mode with Sanada Yukimura.
(11) (3) 1 point Beat Unification mode with Maeda Keiji.

(12) (1) 1 point Beat Unification mode with Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

REWARDS

50 points - unlocks Miyamoto Musashi. Sadly, he's only playable in
Unification, Tournament and Free mode, but he can actually attack anywhere
from his base in Unification.
100 points - unlocks item (13)-(3); it changes the BGM to your character's
theme music(contributed by The Giant Hoeruo)
150 points - unlocks item (15)-(5); it makes your character's body
luminate when that character's personal item chest is near.

start of each round in Tournament mode/Daibutokai.

=====================
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION (for those new to this game and can't read Japanese)
=====================

This guide assumes that you already know who the hell are these guys, but if
you can't read Japanese, I describe how each one looks here. Note that the
order in this list is random. The attires listed here are the default (first)
costumes.
Date Masamune - eye patch over right eye, blue armor, speaks Engrish
Sanada Yukimura - red armor, has two spears, likes to scream a lot
Maeda Keiji - colorful clothes and a huge sword, very handsome
Toyotomi Hideyoshi - yellowish hair, gorilla-like, wears red-and-black armor
Oda Nobunaga - white armor, thin moustache, devilish laughter
Chousokabe Motochika - white hair, eye patch over left eye, upright face
Kasuga - sexy blond lady with black spandex-like costume
Mori Ranmaru - kid with purple clothes and a bow
Sarutobi Sasuke - redhead, wears forest camouflage ninja suit
Matsu - lady with spear and green clothes
Takenaka Hanbei - thin guy with a purple mask and white hair
Akechi Mitsuhide - goth-looking guy with long white hair and two scythes
Mouri Motonari - elf-like guy with green clothes, pointed hat and a
giant ring
Uesugi Kenshin - monk-like, very thin pretty boy in white
Shimazu Yoshihiro - mean grandpa with a huge sword
Takeda Shingen - steroid-powered muscleman in red-and-yellow clothes,
has a huge fan for a weapon
Maeda Toshiie - muscleman with a lot of scars and a spear
Hondam - what have I got to say? a big brown robot!
Nouhime - geisha-like lady in black kimono
Zabii/Xavi - fat foreign priest (presumably Spanish) with two cannons
Itsuki - short girl with a big hammer
Miyamoto Musashi - strange young man with two... err...sticks

========
ENDNOTES
========

Completing Unification with a certain character is, by the way, the only way
to unlock that character's alternate costume. This will add a fifth option in
the pre-battle setup screen that allows you to change costumes. Most of these
alternate attires are nice, but some just suck...

That's about all, folks. Please contact me if you have questions ABOUT THE
TITLES or if you have info to correct my guide. I don't access my e-mail
everyday so please be patient if you have questions. I'm very sorry but I
can't answer questions not related to the titles or this guide (I don't have
that much time because I'm doing my finals right now). By the way, this will
most probably be the final update of this guide. You may want to look up the
SB2 board for the answers of your other questions - not all great games get
complete guides, sadly.
