Version 1.1- Found a new item and fixed some typos. ____________ (INTRODUCTION) ============ Welcome to my Technos Samurai Item Guide. This guide will show you all the items I have found so far, where to find them, and what they provide for Kunio. I have no idea what that unit of money is so by looking at the Codes and Secrets section, I found out it was Ryo, so that's what I'll refer the unit of money to. _________________ (TABLE OF CONTENTS) ================= 1.

HOW TO OBTAIN MONEY) ====================== Sure, it's obvious how to obtain money, but can you gain lots of money at one time? Defeating gangs obviously gets you some, so here's a chart of how much you get per gang enemy and their respective boss: GANG COLOR |CASH FROM GANG MEMBER| CASH FROM BOSS --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Sky Blue |10 Ryo |Ginpa: 100 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Pink |12 Ryo |Gonsa: 120 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Light Gray |NONE |Yono: 160 Ryo (YONO) | | --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Yellow |14 Ryo |Ichi & Roku: 140 Ryo each --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Dark Yellow |18 Ryo |Tame: 180 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Light Green |16 Ryo |Heiru: 160 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Blue |20 Ryo |Heisi: 220 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Faded Blue |20 Ryo |Kinsu: 200 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Greenish-Brown|24 Ryo |Jinro: 240 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Purple |26 Ryo |Han: 260 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Dark Gray |28 Ryo |Yago: 280 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Burgundy |30 Ryo |Han: 300 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Dark Blue |32 Ryo |Tsui/Tatsu: 320 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Dark Green |34 Ryo |Tsuu: 340 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Red |36 Ryo |Asaji: 360 Ryo Juuki: 400 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- Black |36 Ryo |Tora: 380 Ryo --------------|---------------------|----------------------------- There is also gambling, which is random. You chose how much you want to gamble, then predict if the number rolled will be even of odd. If you win, you get double the amount you bet. It sounds simple, but you need to rely on luck. ________________________ (2. SECRET SHOP LOCATIONS) ======================== This game features a ton of secret shops! Unfortunately, they aren't so obvious (some of them) and they are expensive. By the way, the direction I tell you means you move Kunio that direction: SURUGA The area you start in has one secret shop. SECRET SHOP: From the screen you started on, go left one screen. Then when you come to the hilly area with the shrubs, move down, and run along the bottom of the screen while holding down. KOUZUKE This area is red and has a sunset in the background. I think it's a swamp... SECRET SHOP 1: On the left screen, with the bridges, move Kunio under the second one (doesn't matter which way you entered). Once he disappears, move right to find the shop. SECRET SHOP 2: On the rightmost screen go up until you can't go any further and move left to find the shop. RIKUCHUU This is a mountainous area with two great shops. Unfortunately you really need to save your money. I'm going to give directions to the shops as if you came from Suruga. SECRET SHOP 1 Go through that cave to reach a grass (well it's green) covered hill. Dash left while holding down and you will run into an indentation. You'll appear in the next screen near a bridge. Go down until Kunio jumps down, then head right. SECRET SHOP 2: Follow the same directions above, but this time, cross the bridge and if your lucky, there will not be a waterfall and you can enter the cave. EZO This area is in the north and coincidentally it's icy and covered in snow. SECRET SHOP 1: Maybe it shouldn't be a secret shop because it's one the obvious ones. Head right until you see a cave. Walk in and you will enter the not so secret shop. SECRET SHOP 2: On the second screen, past the cave, head left to find a small pond and a cliff. Either use the Jump Shoes to get on the high ledge, or jump in the small pond and walk left to appear on the ledge. Once you are on the ledge, move down until you are on the edge, and walk left. ECCHUU This area is almost all water, except for the town. SECRET SHOP 1: On the screen that leads to the town area, go under the waterfall that is on the bottom of the screen. SECRET SHOP 2: On the screen south of the first secret shop, head to the lower righthand corner. Get on that piece of land and head right. INABA The desert SECRET SHOP 1: On the screen that looks like a valley, jump down from the right most hill and head right. SECRET SHOP 2: Follow the same directions for the first shop except go down instead of right. NAGATO This area doesn't look like much, but there is a cave here. To get in the cave, head below either of the hills and walk along the black part. SECRET SHOP: On the screen with the cave and numerous waterfalls, head under the waterfall to the far lower left hand part of the cave and walk left. HIZEN This place is like a city, whose only inhabitants are the various gangs you have to fight. SECRET SHOP 1: On the screen with the inn, go right until you see that blue patch of sky. Walk into it. SECRET SHOP 2: On the screen with no shops on it, head right until you reach the edge of the platform. Jump down and run right. KAWACHI This place is kinda like a market. It's made entirely of shops. SECRET SHOP: On the screen with no water on the bottom, run along the bottom of the screen while holding down to enter the shop. TOSA I consider this area the ocean with rocks sticking out that you could fight on. If you have Water Effects set on EX, you're probably going to end up chasing downed enemies and other weapons. SECRET SHOP 1: On the screen with the most land, go under the cliff in the shadows and WALK toward the wall. SECRET SHOP 2: On the screen with the rock that has the blue stuff on it (ice I think, because you can slip on it) go in the water left of the rock, move up as much as possible, and run and jump to the left. You have to be airborne to enter the shop. ____________________________________ (3. FOOD, POTION, AND INN EXPLANATION) ==================================== The way Kunio can refill Stamina and Vitality is to eat and drink. I don't need to make a chart, but instead explain this: The amount of money you pay for the food or potion is the amount of Stamina or Vitality Kunio refills ____ FOOD Food refills Stamina. When you buy food, Kunio usually eats it where he's standing. These are the only exceptions. You can carry this food out the store, and they are the: DANGO RICEBALL MANJUU _______ POTIONS These are the items you can get from HEALERS, and they refill Vitality. The Kanpou, a potion, can't be used by Kunio, but will allow Bunzo to become an ally. You can carry potions around. ___ INN All the Inns cost 100 Ryo to stay and they always refill all your STAMINA and VTALITY. Sometimes, it's a better bargain than buying Food or Potions. _______________ (4. KUNIO'S GEAR) =============== Kunio can buy all sorts of clothing items to help him out. When I say all kinds of clothing items, I mean it. The items are divided up by type. Here are the abbreviations for the stats: PUNCH- KICK - WEAPON- WPN THROW- STAMINA- STAM VITALITY- VIT AGILITY- AGL WILL- DEFENSE- DEF STRENGTH- STR _________ |HEADBANDS| --------- NAME OF ITEM
