|Even though GameFaqs already has a Secrets/Codes section for Genma      |
|Onimusha, much of the information that has been submitted, is only      |
|partially true. In an effort to clear up any and all confusion, I       |
|decided to write this FAQ                                               |

|-----------------|
| 1. Introduction |
|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                         |
|First off, I thought I better point out that I won’t be adding any       |
|information regarding gaining access to the Ogre Tower, or the the       |
|Bishamon Sword. I feel that those aspects of the game aren't considered  |
|as secrets, but rather side quest's of sort that require a bit of        |
|additional searching. Whoever is writing a FAQ/Walkthrough, I hope they  |
|include those details.                                                   |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|


|---------------------|
| 2. Unlock Easy Mode |
|---------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                         |
|There's been quite alot of mixed feelings about the exact time and       |
|method of acquiring the easy mode difficulty. Some say that dying 5      |
|times on normal unlocks this difficulty. I have then heard others        |
|claim that simply dying 5 times for them did not work. I believe that    |
|simply dying five times on normal won't quite do it. I think unlocking   |
|this mode is also based on what part of the game you are on. I unlocked  |
|the easy difficulty after dying 5 or more times near the start of the    |
|game. I don't think it is possible to unlock easy once you have          |
|progressed past a certain point in the game. Mainly meaning.... if you   |
|want that easy, you better start off early in the game. If anyone has    |
|solid evidence that you can unlock easy at any point in the game, please |
|e-mail me so I can update this.                                          |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|


|---------------------|
| 3. Unlock Hard Mode |
|---------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                       |
|To unlock Hard Mode, you must complete the game in under three hours.  |
|At first, doing so may seem nearly impossible to pull off. If you can  |
|manage to beat the mini game Oni Spirits, you may have an easier time  |
|doing this. With the help of the Ultimate mode setting, you should be  |
|able to clear the game in well under 2 hours or less.                  |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|


|-----------------------|
| 4. Unlock Kaede Extra |
|-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                         |
|Collect all thirty Fluorites on any difficulty to unlock the Kaede Extra.|
|This neat little secret, is an alternate costume you can unlock for      |
|Kaede to wear. For help finding all thirty Fluorites, check out the      |
|FAQ I wrote on that subject.                                             |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|


|---------------------------------|
| 5. Unlock Oni Spirits Mini Game |
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|                                                                         |
|To unlock the Oni Spirits mini game, you must collect a certain number   |
|Fluorites. I finished the game my first time through with twenty-seven.  |
|The GameFaqs code page says having anywhere from twenty to thirty        |
|Fluroties will also yield the same result. I'm unsure about the exact    |
|number required, but don't think it's very important as to the exact     |
|number. As long as you collect twenty-seven, you'll be fine. Hey, and    |
|while you at it, why not just collect all thirty? Saves you from making  |
|a second trip.                                                           |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|


|----------------------------|
| 6. Unlock Samanosuke Extra |
|----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
|The Samanosuke Extra, is an alternate costume for Samanosuke to wear    |
|while playing through the game. To unlock this secret, beat the game    |
|on the Hard difficulty with a ranking of S.                             |
|Check below in the next section for the exact numbers required.         |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 7. Ranking Chart |
|------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                         |
|Within Genma Onimusha is a unique ranking system that allows the         |
|players to rate their progress with a series of points. A perfect score  |
|is thirty, and can only be achieved by scoring all available points in   |
|three categories. The exact numbers are below.                           |

|Difficulty Setting.                                                      |

|400-499 demons killed = 5 points                                         |
|500-599 demons killed = 7 points                                         |

|45,000-54,999 souls = 7 points                                           |
|55,000 or more souls = 10 points                                         |
|                                                                         |
