OKAMI SPOILER-FREE WALKTHROUGH by Forrest McDonald A.K.A. Seppel seppelker [at] gmail (dot) com (c) 2007 Forrest McDonald ----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=---- Contents [1] Introduction [2] Version History [3] Walkthrough [3.a] Eastern Nippon [3.b] Western Nippon [3.c] Northern Nippon [4] Legal ----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=---- [1] INTRODUCTION I decided to create a spoiler-free walkthrough mainly for players trying to attempt a speedrun of the game, but it can also be used in the unlikely event that a player cannot figure out where to go next. Personally, when reading FAQs, I have a knack for accidentally reading spoilers. My eyes read whatever they can see. Inevitably I'll have the final boss or a secret item spoiled for me long before I finish the game. The phrase "use [ability] when necessary" means that in order to complete the minigame or puzzle you're up to, you need to use that ability. Most often these are straightforward, but sometimes they require a little thought. You'll know what to use, but I won't spoil how to use it. This is why I like spoiler-free walkthroughs. They're short and to the point. ----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=----|----=---- [2] Version History Ver1.00 -- 04/13/07: First published. Walkthrough completed.
