The first ending, I don't know about you, but it left a bad taste in my mouth because it doesn't really feel complete. To get the second, true ending, you have to get all 8 of the Hatori or Vests for Ako. This FAQ lists the location of those vests in the order you should come to them in the game for the US version. Thanks to bwong I also have a list for the Japanese version that lists location and effect as well. Vest Location _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1. Blue Vest Effect: Increases speed of enemy soul absorption. Location: After obtaining Ako, run up the forrest path until you meet Samanosuke. It's in a red chest in the second house (the house Samanosuke didn't jump off of). _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2. Red Vest Effect: All souls become red, increase soul count. Location: Sewers. Go into the control room and turn the power on, cross the bridge and go into the room, from the door take a left and follow the hallway down to a red chest. It's in the red chest. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3. White Vest Effect: Standing still recovers HP. Location: Sekkai village. If you go into the store with the tigers in front of it, and go through the backdoor, you can't miss it. It's in the red chest. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4. Yellow Vest Effect: Draw souls out of the enemy every attack. Location: Underwater Oni Temple. After you get Chigo for Samanosuke, go into the door that was unlocked with a yellow disc. Use the elevator to get to the second floor. Head straight ahead and unlock the door locked by earth magic. It's in a red chest in the room you just unlocked. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5. Green Vest Effect: Draw souls and life out from living enemies. Location: Notre Dome. Run up to the altar that opens up and allows you into the basement. Stand in front of the altar, turn your back to the altar, and run forward until you see a red chest. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6. Orange Vest Effect: Show enemy HP and Critical timing. Location: Mont-Saint-Michelle. After you complete the puzzle that was opened using the red eye in the head of the beast statue, run down the stairs and through the double doors. In this area kill everything and then hit the boxes. The boxes will release a oni firefly that you can latch on to if you stand in front of the double doors you came out of (on the stairs leading down from the double door (not the stairway from the puzzle that brought you into the room)) that firefly will take you up to a roof and the red chest to the left holds the orange vest. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7. Purple Vest Effect: Less magic power consumed. Location: Mont-Saint-Michelle. Go into the dark realm as Samanosuke and make it to the very bottom. There is a chest containing the purple vest. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8. Black Vest Effect: All hits Critical. Location: Critical Training. If you complete Samanosuke's criticial training, you get the black vest as a reward. NOTE: Equiping this vest will slowly take away some life, so make sure you have plenty of health items. (Note brought to my attention by timothyleppo@msn.com) NOTE: Apparently you can get the black vest by finishing Jacque's issen training as well. And some people have been confused as to why I didn't list the many yellow souls as a way to replenish your health, the reason is because it doesn't replenish all of your health it only refills about 40 to 75% if you're lucky. (Note brought to my attention by poganin@autograf.pl) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The next section is for those of you that have the Japanese version of the game. They were taken out of bWonG's FAQ with premission. He said he wasn't sure if they were 100% in the right order and that he would email me back if they weren't, he either forgot to or hasn't found any errors. To protect his hard work, I have left the following section in tact from his FAQ, to make it easier to follow, I have posted a key to what he means when his guide says "Episode 2, Episode 3, etc." they refer to locations in the game. A key has been included for you below the list of vests. Here is the section for people with the Japanese version: Blue Vest: Episode 2 -Samanosuke is back, pick it up inside the second house Use-->Absorb spirits faster. Red Vest: Episode 3 -Inside the second room, at the end of the small alley- Use-->More Red Spirits from kills (No more Yellow and Blue Spirits!).
