III. Swords of Muramasa Rebirth [003]
===============================================================================
There are 2 types of swords in the game SHORT SWORD and LONGSWORD. The SHORT
SWORD is weak but is extremely fast making the ideal choice on multiple
enemies. The LONGSWORD is slow but extremely strong, this good for fighting
a couple enemies as well slow ones.
All swords have a SPECIAL ATTACK [SECRET ART] which do devastating attacks,
these are good if you know which ones to pick. [THE SPECIAL ARTS YOU SEE
BELOW ARE KITSUNES]
CYCLONE: You spin violently causing anybody caught in the CYCLONE take a huge
amount of damage
CELESITAL EVE 1-3: An energy pillar comes up from your sword launching an
enemy into the air. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE STRONGER ATTACK AS WELL AS THE
PILLAT GETTING TALLER.]
DUAL BLAZE: You do a 2 hit fire combo which does some fair damage, its goods
when using 2-3 hit normal combos.
FAERIE BLAZE: 2 Balls of flames rotate around making a shield that if any
enemies touch the balls of flames to damage them.
ABYSSAL FIRE 1-3: You cast a shadow of yourself which attacks your enemies
diagonally with an explosion with each slash [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE
TIMES YOUR SHADOW WILL ATTACK WITH MORE DAMAGE]
HELL SPINNER 1-3: You spin uncontrollably causing any enemy caught in will
take huge damage. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE LONGER YOU WILL SPIN, GO FASTER A
ND DO MORE DAMAGE]
FOCUS SLASH 1-3: Open up a small vortex that anyone caught in it will take
damage [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE LONGER AND MORE DAMAGE IT WILL DO]
HOLY ILLUSION 1-3: Like ABYSSAL FIRE you also create a shadow but instead of
it attacking diagonally it attacks straight up. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE
SHADOWS YOU WILL GET AND MORE DAMAGE YOU WILL DO]
SUNDER: You stay still and charge your blade [YOUR INVINCIBLE DURING THIS
CHARGE], you then will charge your enemies with a strong attack damaging them
a lot.
HELLFIRE 1-3: You jump up in the air spinning and when you hit the ground you
release balls of fire which damages any enemies hit by it. [THE HIGHER THE
LEVEL THE MORE FIREBALLS COME OUT AND DO MORE DAMAGE]
DARK CROSS 1-3: It’s a 4 stage combo, you attack left to right then attack up
then down [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE DAMAGE YOU DO]
EARTH RUNNER 1-3: You swing your blade causing a vibration in the ground
making a small ball move towards your enemy. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE BIGGER
THE BALL IS, THE MORE DISTANCE IT HAS AND MORE DAMAGE IT DOES]
DRAGONFLY 1-3: It’s the air version of HELL SPINNER, it may seem like a good
idea at first but unless you constantly fight enemies in the air then its
pretty much useless. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE LONGER YOU STAY IN THE AIR AND
DO MORE DAMAGE]
KAMAITACHI: You jump into the air spinning your blade till you reach the
ground causing damage to anyone caught in your way.
GAMBLERS CHOICE: Its pretty much SUNDER but only you can do 1 DAMAGE or your
current maximum damage you can do.
GALE 1-3: Its basically like CYCLONE but the better and stronger version of
it. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE LONGER YOU WILL SPIN AND DO MORE DAMAGE]
SPECTER BLOW: You put your sword into the air and little orbs come out and
track any enemies in the area.
INVERTED PILLAR: It’s the better version of CELESTIAL EVE
LONELY MOON: This is a QUICK DRAW attack you can use without switching blades
and having to wait for it to CHARGE.
LUSTROUS MOON: You will throw a circle from your blade which will act as a
BOOMERANG and go through anyone to come back to you.
METEOR 1-3: Its like CELESTIAL MOON but instead of standing still and making a
PILLAR you swing your sword creating multiple PILLARS. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL
THE MORE THE PILLARS YOU MAKE AND MORE DAMAGE YOU DO]
TRIPLE BLAZE: The advanced version of the DUAL BLAZE, you now do 3 attacks.
GALE SLASH 1-3: You swing your sword emitting waves of WIND to damage your
enemies [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE WAVES YOU EMIT AND MORE DAMAGE YOU DO]
TEMPEST 1-3: This is the better version of CYCLONE and GALE, this allows you
to move while spinning allowing you to hit multiple now.
4 KAMAITACHI: This is the advanced version of KAMAITACHI and have 4 SHADOWS
and you spinning in the air till you reach the ground.
REVENANT BLOW: This is the advanced version of SPECTER BLOW, it shoots more
orbs than its little brother.
FAERIE INFERNO: This gives you 4 balls of fire that surrounds instead of 2
and does more damage too.
QUAD BLAZE: You now do a 4 hit combo instead of 2 or 3 hit combo, it also does
more damage.
===============================================================================
IV. Opening Act [004]
===============================================================================
Because I don’t know how to make a MAP in a guide and im not sure how its
suppose to look, its not going to be exactly what the game is going to look
like but I will try my in making it look like it [JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT
N/A FOR SOME PARTS DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN THERE ARENT ANY ENEMIES, THEY JUST
DIDN’T SHOW UP FOR ME, ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE AN ENEMY IN THAT PART OF MAP
DOESN’T MEAN YOU WILL FIGHT THE ONE THERE BUT SOMETHING ELSE]
Before you can start the game you have to go through the TUTORIAL, I would
recommend this because you learn the basics and all the attacks before moving
on.
[1] N/A, move onto next part
[2] N/A
[3] Ninjas,
[4] Ninjas, TREASURE: HEALING PELLET
[5] Goblins, TREASURE: BAMBOO FLASK
[6] Ronin
[7] Spirits, HOUSE: BAMBOO FLASK
[8] Ninjas
[9] Ninjas
[10] Ninjas
[11] N/A
[12] HOUSE: HEALING PELLET, HOUSE: HEALING PELLET
[13] Ninjas, Ninjas
[14] N/A, SAVE POINT/BOSS
BOSS: Before we start let me tell how this works, so the boss has a BIG BAR of
HP on the bottom and SMALL BAR above it to the left, when you takeout the BIG
BAR you will also takeout ¼ of SMALL BAR, you need to empty the SMALL BAR so
the boss cant heal any more, once you do you win and get a DEMON BLADE for
your troubles.
So the starting BOSS isn’t that hard but unless you figure the moves and what
to do you might have problems, lucky for you I’m here, I’ll tell you each
attack and how to avoid or counter it.
[1] NINJA STAR LOW/HIGH: Depending if you are attacking up high or down low
he will throw a big ninja star at you which will do a boomerang effect and
come back to him, this is really easy to dodge, just remember to avoid.
[2] ARMS IN AIR: When he does this he will twirl his ninja stars into the air
preventing you from attacks up high so attack low and wait for him to put down
his arms to attack him high again
[3] SLASH: If he starts taking too much damage up high or down low, he will
slash you really fast which you can dodge if your fast enough but most likely
you will get hit.
[4] FANNING: When he does this, he will start spinning his stars to the ground
towards you trying to catch you in it, if he does your pretty much screwed
because you cant get out of it and will take a lot of damage, the best way to
avoid this is by jumping over him or using a SECRET ART to either get the
other side or COUNTER him with it.
After you takeout 1 or 2 bars of health he will start glowing with a RED/PURPLE
AURA around him, making him faster and stronger.

BOSS
====
Before you can fight the boss you must talk to everyone in the room before you
can proceed, after that boss time.
Basically this is the easiest boss you’re going to fight the entire game,
there are 3 CENTIPEDES to which by themselves are slow and really long, if you
get to close to one of them they will try and charge at you to hurt you, all
you have to do is constantly attack them till they break apart to which you
will have more CENTIPEDES to deal with but this means you’re making progress,
the smaller they get the faster they will move so you have to time your
attacks to hit them when this happens.

BOSS
====
The very first thing you want to do before you start fighting the BOSS is that
you need to take out the 2 SAMURAI’S here, then you can focus on her,
[1] STOMP: Since you will be constantly underneath her HORSE will STOMP the
ground causing a SHOCKWAVE which is represented with a GREEN BOLTS, this is
easy to dodge.
[2] ARROW HIGH/LOW: When she gallops away she will fire either high or low
arrows off screen depending on if you are in the air or on the ground, its not
recommended blocking as it will break your sword
[3] ARROW VOLLEY: When you are underneath her as well she will shoot arrows in
to the air to which they will fall down and hit you, either time the roll when
the arrows fall or just move out of range
[4] ARC VOLLEY: If you are rushing towards her, instead of shooting one arrow
she will shoot a CRESCENT VOLLEY at you to which you just roll to evade it.
[THE KEY TO BEATING HER IS STAYING CLOSE TO HER, WHEN SHE GALLOPS AWAY, FOLLOW
HER IN THE DIRECTION SHE WENT, IF YOU ARE IN THE CORNER, MOVE AWAY AND WAIT
FOR HER TO APPEAR]

So for most of fight after you take 1 bar out she will be in the air, so
havingprojectile special arts or ones that allow you to stay in the air are
very helpful
[1] FIREBALLS: This is her main attack and will constantly attack you with it,
its very simple to evade and counter should have no problem with this attack
[2] TRACKING WAVES: This gets quite annoying if you are too far from her,
instead of FIREBALLS she will use this attack to track and hit you, all you
have to evade it by rolling or jumping it
[3] BOMBARDMENTS: She will start tossing bombs to hit you under her as well is
you rush towards her sometimes
[4] TRAPS: These are fairly obvious to see but once you get started you tend
to forget that they are there, avoid these at all costs as you get caught it
will hurt and she can combo you.
[Basically you want to knock her down so you can get in some free hits, when
this happens you want to make sure this counts as it can be hassle to hit her
later]

This boss is a SPIDER so it will always be in the air, so having SPECIAL ARTS
that shoot projectiles or help you stay in the air and attack are really
useful [YOU SHOULD HAVE THESE SPECIAL ARTS TO HELP YOU OUT, [1] SPECTER BLOW,
[2] FORLORN MOON, [3] RADIANT BLADE]
[1] HELPERS: He will constantly send spiders to attack you, you wont to focus
on the BIG ONE at all times, only attack them if they are in your way or when
the BOSS is moving
[2] SPIDER WEB: This is his most devastating attack, not only will it cause a
stream of constant damage, it will always paralyze you making you vulnerable
to its attacks as well as the baby spiders. [TO AVOID THIS MAKE SURE YOU ARE
CONSTANTLY ATTACKING HIM, IF NOT WAIT FOR IT TO YOU AND ROLL OR JUMP ABOVE IT
ON THE PLATFORMS]
[3] ROLL: Sometimes he will curl up into a ball and spin at you, its very easy
to dodge and not an attack to worry about.

BOSS
====
If you can manage to corner the BOSS then he’s no problem, because if you have
a SPECIAL ART that makes you stationary but also attacks like GALE/CYCLONE
then he cant get out of the corner and will take massive damage, just make
sure you have WHETSTONES ready to replenish your swords health.
[1] JUMP: He will jump into the air and then fall onto the ground causing a
SHOCKWAVE which is easily evaded
[2] ARROW VOLLEY: He charge first before shooting the arrows, so this gives
you time to either run out of range or time the roll or use a SPECIAL ART
that makes you invincible temporally when attacking
[3] SLASH: When too close or rushing towards him, he will slash you
[4] SUMMONS: He will summon WOLFS to his side which will attack you, just
kill them and there out of the way

BOSS

You are mainly going to be in the air for most of the fight so equip TEMPEST,
GALE 2 and whatever 3rd blade you think would be good for you, you have to hit
either the HEAD or BODY to do some damage.
[1] FIREBALLS: He will shoot multiple fireballs at you, don’t worry these are
really easy to avoid
[2] BITE: If you are at his HEAD or rushing towards it, he will try and bite
your head off
[3] EXPLODING FIREBALLS: Unlike his regular ones that he shoots multiple ones
at you, he shoots a more concentrated ball at you which explodes on impact
[4] BLACK SMOKE: When he does this he will disappear for a few seconds, wait
for the smoke to disappear and he will try and bite you, really easy to avoid
[5] ELECTROBALLS: He does this when hes in the BLACK SMOKE, these are fairly
big and will just float there making it a perfect trap if you still plan on
attacking him

Before you begin have TEMPEST, REVEANT and whatever 3rd SPECIAL ARTS for this
BOSS fight, make sure you stock up on all the healing items.
========
1st FORM
========
[1] DEAD PEOPLE: He summons dead people to his side which just charge you, its
best to evade these instead of killing them.
[2] CLONES: He summons either 2-3 clones of himself, the clones will fade away
if you take too long to destroy them or will disappear if you find the real
one.
[3] ATTACK: Just a normal attack when you get close together
[4] LIGHTNING BOLTS: He summon lightning bolts to strike you down
He is fairly easy in the 1st form, you shouldn’t have a problem, the only
thing you should worry about is the LIGHTNING BOLTS
========
2nd FORM
========
[1] CONSTANT LIGHTNING: Here there will be infinite lightning bolts, this can
be very annoying, there is no way to dodge this as it will happen at anytime
[2] PORTALS: He will constantly make portals, they will not attack you but if
you get too close people will come out to attack you.
[3] SHOCK: If you constantly attack him he will shock himself to hurt you
[4] BARRAGE: He will spit out a constant stream of FANGS, this is just like
SPIDER WEB attack, except you can actually escape but if you don’t then you
will be in world of hurt.
This form is the most annoying BOSS in the game, he constantly uses LIGHTNING
STRIKES to hurt you as well as PORTALS to prevent you from attacking high and
low. You can only attack the HEAD and the MID-SECTION of him, he will
constantly use BOLTS and SHOCK to get you off him.

===============================================================================
I must say first that this is a must have game for the VITA, this is visually
stunning and easy to get the hang of, the difficulty is just right for
everyone, the gameplay could of been better but is good for what it is, also
the amount of content you get for this price fairly good.
