Hi, this is my first FAQ, and hopefully not my last.
I recently got Otogi, and finished it about a week ago, so I decided to
write an indepth FAQ / Walkthrough for it.
I'll be adding to the faq 5 levels at a time, and if I think up anything
else I can add, I'll do that too.
=============================================================================
Section 2: A bit about the game.
=============================================================================
Otogi is an action game, with a few RPG elements in it, and some incredible
graphics - some of the best on any system.
You play as Raikoh, and undead warrior, brought back to life by an unknown
princess to defeat the sorcerer Michizane.
It plays a lot like Devil May Cry, crossed with Onimusha and with a bit of
Gun Valkyrie thrown in, and is, in my opinion, probably the best action game
released for years - Ninja Gaiden is going to have a hard time topping this.
This section is all about the basics of the game - how to attack, use magic
and other bits of useful information for a new player.
Health - Raikoh only starts with two health orbs at the beginning of the game
but as you go through it you can find a lot more.
Raikoh's health will regenerate using up some magic, if you are hurt
but once an orb is fully gone you have to find an item to give you
more health.
Obviously when Raikoh runs out of health he dies.
Movement - Raikoh is pretty agile for a dead guy.
You can jump with the A button, and double jump by pressing it
twice. Holding A when in the air will slow your fall.
The R trigger is used to dash, which can be done in the air or
on the ground.
Raikoh will cover distances faster if you are on the ground,
as he keeps running between dashes, whereas when he is in the
air, he falls a bit, then dashes again.
When dashing you only need to hold in the R trigger, you don't
need to keep tapping it.
Attacks - Raikoh has quite a few different attacks at his disposal:
The B button is a light attack, which is quite weak on its own,
and won't push an enemy back.
A great attack with the Y button is slower, but will send an
enemy flying backwards. If they hit a wall they'll take even
more damage - use this to your adavantage.
You can do different combos too - B,B will do two light attacks.
B,Y - a light attack followed by a great attack.
B,B,B - three light attacks in a row.
B,B,Y - two light attacks followed by a great attack.
B,B,B,B - four light attacks in a row.
B,B,B,Y - three light attacks, and then a great attack.
This is the combo I use most in otogi, as it hits
the enemy and then sends them flying.
B,B,B,X - This is another really useful combo later on in the game.
It does 3 light attacks, and then your current magic,
but it is a fully charged magic attack.
Holding R and pressing B will do an upwards slash, which is useful
for keeping Raikoh in the air.
Holding R and pressing Y will do a different attack depending on
the weapon you have equipped. A heavy weapon does a powerful
horizontal attack, and a light weapon will do a more powerful
vertical attack.
Attacking enemy spells will reflect them, and is a very useful
technique to learn, especially for the later levels.
Magic - Otogi's magic system is different from any game I've played before.
Magic is what is keeping Raikoh alive, so it is constantly draining.
At the start of the game your magic is very low, but as you level up
you will gain more, and different weapons/magic/accessories also
affect the ammount of magic you have.
There are 4 different Houses of magic in the game:
Soryu - Dragon
Suzaku - Phoenix
Byakko - Chimera/Lightning
Genbu - Butterfly
Soryu opposes Byakko, and Suzaku opposes Genbu.
This means that using, for example, Soryu against an enemy that is
from House Byakko, you will do double damage, but it also means that
Raikoh will take double damage from any spells that they use.
The different magic will also affect how much health/attack power
you have, Byakko giving you the most.
Dragon magic calls forth dragons that home in on your enemies, and
is probably the most useful magic to attack with.
Phoenix will fire 1-3 phoenixes depending on the level/strength of it
which will go in a straight line - only useful on one or two levels.
Byakko is the one I used the most in the game, as I didn't use the
magic much at all, and it gives you the most DEF/ATK.
Genbu fires off a lot of butterflies creating a "wall" of them in front
of you, which can be useful to hold back a lot of enemies at once.
When using magic, you can just tap the X button, or hold it down to
charge it. Charging it to max takes a while, so it's not often that
you get a chance to do so. However using magic at the end of a
B,B,B,X combo will do a fully charged one, and is probably the most
effective way to use magic against a powerful enemy.
Against a group of weak enemies you are best to tap X instead.
Remeber, your magic is constantly draining in otogi, so you might want
to be conservative with your magic most of the time, especially at the
start.
When you run out of magic, your health will start to drain, and you
can no longer dash.
Accessories - There are 10 different accessories to be accquired in Otogi,
and it's best to have one equipped at all times.
Some accessories weigh a lot though, and the more weight Raikoh
is carrying, the slower he becomes, and the lower his jumps
are. You should pay attention to weapon weights as well.
Souls - When you kill an enemy in Otogi, it will leave behind 3 different
souls. Yellow, Pink, and Green.
Yellow souls give you gold, Green health, and Pink magic.
To collect souls you just have to get close enough to them, and they
will home in on Raikoh. Usually you'll get all 3, but they each
have different distances that they will home in on him.
Yellow will home in first, then green, and lastly pink.
It's not much difference, but if you're running low on magic you'll
probably notice it.
Experience - Purifying demons will earn you experience, and Raikoh will level
up once he reaches a certain ammount. Levelling up will improve
Raikoh's stats, and is crucual to playing the game.
The highest level you can reach is level 31, or Level MAX
as the game puts it. By the time you reach the 28th Level in the
game, Raikoh should be at his max level.
If not, just replay some stages until he is.
Destruction - Each of the levels in Otogi is almost completely destructable
but it's not just there to look cool.
In each level are 5 spirits trapped in objects, and you have to
destroy them to free the spirits.
As you go through the game try to destroy as much as you can,
because getting all 5 spirits on the first 28 levels will
unlock the moonlight sword, the second most powerful sword in
the game.
Fortunately you don't have to destroy everything the first time
through a level, on some of the later ones it would be almost
impossible to do. Otogi saves the state of the level, and
when replaying the level gives you the option to play the level
in it's current state, or its original state.
Miscellanneous - Vitality. Weapons wear down from use and have to be repaired
in the shop. The first thing I would do is repair a weapon,
unless you only have enough money to buy an accessory you
need.
Most weapons will need repaired as soon as you buy /
unlock them.
Weight. I mentioned it in accessories, but I feel I should
mention it again. The more weight Raikoh is carrying, from
weapons and accessories equipped affects how fast he can
move, and how high he can jump.
On levels with a time limit to unlock something, I would
usually try to equip light stuff that can still do damage.
**IMPORTANT** Saving - Otogi does not save your progress, as a level ends,
you might see a message about saving, but it is only
saving the destruction in the level. Before you quit
the game, make sure you go to the options menu and
choose to save there, or you will have to play
through all the levels again.

This section will detail each level in the game, and I will include
reccommended equipment, and tell you what, if anything, is unlockable on that
level.
This level should be a breeze, as it's the first one in the game.
All you have to do is kill the 8 ravens in the level, but some won't appear
until the princess has finished speaking.
You can get 100% souls and an A in destruction without any trouble on this
level, you just need to cut down the bamboo and destroy the stones on the right.
Make sure you get the mercy orb from the life glyph straight ahead of you when
you start the level.
While it may be tempting to buy one of those new weapons in the shop, don't.
They aren't all that good, and you'll be getting a better weapon soon enough.
Start off by heading left, and destroying the trees/urns, and you'll come
across a Staff Raven. Purify it, and you will get the Dragon magic from it.
Head right, up to the mansion, and jump up to the second floor where the
second staff raven is hiding. All you need to do is purify it, and the
level is complete.
If you are good at the game you shouldn't have much trouble getting 100%
souls and an A in destruction on your first run, but you might want to
do it in two or 3 runs of the level just incase.
Some of the ravens on this level will spit fireballs at you, so either try
and avoid them, or reflect them back by attacking them, or you could
come back and 100% the level after you have the White Serpent Amulet.
Completing this level adds Phoenix magic, Butterfly magic, and the
Belt of Good Omen to the shop.
Objective: Destroy 3 Copper Mirrors.
Reccommended Setup: Soul Shrine, Dragon, Belt of Good Omen.
Unlockables: Rune Scimitars.
This is one of the larger levels in Otogi, but it isn't much of challenge.
The first Copper Mirror you have to destroy is behind the wall directly
in front of you, to the right of the house.
The second Copper Mirror is in the middle of the level, underneath a bridge,
BUT don't destroy it just yet.
Wait until it has spawned as many of the small demons as it is going to
(if you kill any more will spawn from it) and get them to follow you away
from the mirror, but still being in the tunnel.
Keep using B,B,B,Y combos, and you should be able to get a 20 hit combo
without too much trouble as long as you are hitting them against the wall.
Getting a 20+ hit combo is what unlocks the Rune Scimitars, and is worth
trying until you get it right.
After you have got the 20+ hit combo, destroy the mirror, and head left.
The third, and final mirror is behind the house at the right-hand-side.
Destroy it to finish the level.
If you are going for 100% souls,and an A in destruction (which you should be)
It is quite possible to get them on your first run. Clear out the front half
of the level, and kill all the stationary enemies on the right hand side to
refil your magic, then destroy the second half.
--------------------------------------------------
Level 4: Ancient Capital
--------------------------------------------------
Objective: Defeat High Priest Jyosei.
Reccommended Setup: Rune Scimitars, Dragon, Belt of Good Omen.
Unlockables: Chimera - Well end of first area, Mercy Orb - Kill Life Glyph
At the start of the level you might want to mute your tv, as Jyosei won't
shut up, lol.
Jyosei is constantly launching fireballs at you, so you can't stay in one
place for very long.
Head straight up, and at the right hand side, destroy the well and jump in
to get the level 1 Chimera magic.
Then head left, either taking out the lions, or just jumping over the
two walls.
After the second wall, on the right is another life glyph.
Kill it for another mercy orb.
Do a double jump and head right, and dash over the platforms, rather than
jumping on them. If you don't have enough height, use R+B to get high
enough to dash across.
Cross over the bridge, and then drop down. You'll see Jyosei straight
ahead of you, run up to him ignoring the skeletons, as they just keep coming.
Go to either the left or right hand side of Jyosei, so he can't hit you with
his fireballs, and hit him with a great attack.
You'll get flung backwards, but it won't hurt you. Keep doing this 4/5 times
and Jyosei will die.
When he dies all the other enemies will disappear, and he'll talk for 20-30
seconds. The level is finished after the princess speaks.
This is another level where you can 100% it first time, although most people
will probably take two or three runs on it, as it can get quite hectic at
times, and you don't have much health.
--------------------------------------------------
Level 5: Palace of Gold
--------------------------------------------------
Objective: Destroy Gold Urns.
Reccommended Setup: Rune Scimitars, Dragon, Belt of Good Omen.
Unlockables: Mystical Beads, Dragon Staff.
In this level, all you have to do is destroy enough gold urns to complete it.
I've not kept count, but its another fairly easy level.
Start out by heading straight ahead, you can ignore the lion statues, but
the one walking about is pretty strong, so you might just want to avoid it.
Head left into a corridor, and destroy the golden urns on either side, and
the pillars on either side to get the ones up on top.
When you go into the room, head to the far left corner, and use a great
attack on the wall. Part of it will get destroyed and reveal a hidden
room containing the Mystical Beads.
Keep smashing the pillars/urns, and when you've smashed enough the Crimson
King will appear. You only have to hit him once to make him run at the
moment, so he's not any trouble.
If you're going for destruction head down the passage he went through, and
destroy all the lanterns on the ceiling and in the room, if not, don't
bother following him, there are enough golden urns elsewhere in the level.
Destroy enough urns, and you'll finish the level.
To unlock the Dragon Staff, you have to finish the level in 3:20 or less,
but it's not a weapon I would use, so you're best to either leave it, or
come back later when you're more powerful, just to get it for the sake of
getting all the weapons.
This one CAN be done in one run for 100% but I would definitely recommend
two or three runs to do it. If you are planning on doing it in two or more
runs, make it easier on yourself by destroying the magic mirrors your
first time through to get rid of the pesky floating skull demons.
After completing the level the Locust Wing sword, and the White Serpent
Amulet are available in the shops - I would recommend buying both of them.
That's the walkthrough so far, I'll add the next 5 levels soon.
