------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Genma Onimusha Microsoft Xbox Oni-Spirits Mini-Game FAQ v2.1 by savior kevinkwalter@yahoo.com ____________________________ / \ /:::::::::::: Intro :::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | If you want to have some fun, beat the Oni-Spirits Mini-Game. Not only | | is it challenging and will make you a better player, it'll unlock easy | | mode in the regular game and allow you to start with the Bishamon | | Sword along with a few other goodies. | | | | You'll need some help getting through it, though, as it starts off easy | | and quickly turns to nearly impossible. Late levels allow for almost no | | tactical errors, so you will be playing this over and over again 'til | | you get it perfect. The following level by level strategy will help | | you get there. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::::: Level 1 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Soldier Demon x1 | | Very Easy | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Just hold down R1 and keep tapping the attack button 'til you kill the | | demon. Grab the Herb from the box at the top center of the room and smash | | as many vases as you can. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::::: Level 2 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Soldier Demon x2 | | Very Easy | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Again, hold down R1 and tap attack. Allow Samonosuke to switch targets | | when one is on the ground. Once they're finished off, absorb their souls | | and take the Thunder Orb from the box on the left and the Bullets from | | the box on the right. Equip the Thunder Orb before you move on. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::::: Level 3 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Gyaran x1 | | Long-Arm Demon x1 | | Easy | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | With the Thunder Orb equipped, hold R1 and tap the attack button. You'll | | target the Gyaran and kill him with two hits. Keep holding R1 and tapping | | attack to move through the vases and get to the Long-Arm Demon. Once you | | reach him, hit him with the sword a few times then launch a thunder | | attack. This will kill him. Absorb all of the souls quickly and move to | | the center smashing all the vases in your way. Take the Matchlock from | | the box and smash the rest of the vases. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::::: Level 4 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Three-Eye x2 | | Easy | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Hold R1 and tap attack. You'll take out the first Three-Eye immediately | | and start moving towards the other one. Most likely you'll knock the | | second demon down, but not out. Move up to him and tap up and attack to | | kill him with an uppercut attack. Then move to the bottom right of the | | arena and get the Fire Orb from the box. Equip the Fire Orb and move to | | the top right of the arena to get the Bullets. Smash the rest of the | | vases. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::::: Level 5 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Long-Arm Demon x2 | | Gyaran x1 | | Moderate | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | With the Fire Orb equipped, hold R1 and tap the magic button. You'll | | knock the first Long-Arm Demon down. Immediately switch to the Matchlock | | and Bullets. Hold R1 to target the Gyaran and take a couple of steps | | forwards. Now fire the Matchlock to kill the Gyaran. Switch back to the | | fire orb, hold R1 to target the Long-Arm demon on the upper left and hit | | the magic button to knock him down. Target the first Long-Arm and move | | over to him. Kill him with 2-3 slashes, and then move back to the second | | Long-Arm and kill him. Now, with all of the enemies dead, take the | | Burst Bullets from the box near the top on the left and smash the rest of | | the vases. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::::: Level 6 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Soldier Demon x2 | | Hard | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | The trick here is that there are only 6 vases on the screen and you need | | to smash all 6. Run straight ahead 'til you reach the vases, and then | | equip the Matchlock and Burst Bullets. Hold R1 and fire quickly. Target | | the second demon and fire again. This will kill them both and take out | | most of the vases. Take the Herb from the box on the left and smash any | | vases that are left. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::::: Level 7 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Long-Arm Demon x2 | | Gyaran x1 | | Moderate | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Equip the Matchlock and Bullets. DO NOT APPROACH THE DEMONS, as this could | | make the Gyaran move towards you, smashing vases in his path. Stand right | | where you are and hold R1. Quickly fire killing one Long-Arm, and then | | hold down R1 to target the second. Fire again to kill him, too. Now, equip | | the Fire Orb and run towards the Gyaran, slashing to smash vases in your | | way. Do not go straight up the middle, as there is a box there and you | | will get stuck behind it, allowing the Gyaran to move around. You may | | need to use an Herb now, depending on how quickly you've done all this. | | Make sure you absorb the Blue Souls floating around to refill your magic. | | Get the Wind Orb from the center of the room and smash the rest of the | | vases. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::::: Level 8 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Bazuu x4 | | Moderate | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Equip the thunder orb and go after the Bazuus, starting with the ones on | | the right. Keep an eye on the other Bazuus as you do this, taking note if | | any of them ball up and start spinning. If they do, hold L1 to block their | | spinning ball attack. Keep smashing vases and killing Bazuus, not | | necessarily in that order. Keep a close eye on the ones that ball up and | | be sure to block their attacks. Each time you kill one they'll release a | | large Vitality Soul, so as long as you keep absorbing them, you'll have | | plenty of time to smash all of the vases you need to. Also don't forget | | about the Ninja Suit at the top center and the Burst Bullets in the very | | middle. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::::::: Level 9 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Gyaran x2 | | Barabazuu x1 | | Hard | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Equip the Wind Orb, move straight ahead and right a step and use a wind | | attack, taking out a bunch of vases. Move ahead and to the right, 'till | | you're under the Gyaran on the right. Use another wind attack to kill this | | Gyaran and clear a path to the Barabazuu. Equip the thunder orb and lock | | on to the Barabazuu. Hit him with magic to knock him down, and then | | quickly get over him and tap attack to kill him with a sword thrust. Don't | | worry about the second Gyaran, as he will be disappearing by now. Take the | | Burst Bullets from the box in the top right and smash the rest of the | | vases. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::::: Level 10 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Long-Arm Demon x1 | | Three-Eye x2 | | Very Hard | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | The two Three-Eyes are hiding in the ceiling when you start the level, one | | in the middle far left and the other in the middle far right. The key to | | passing this level is not to bring them out until you've defeated the | | Long-Arm Demon. As soon as you begin, equip the Matchlock and Burst | | Bullets. Target the Long-Arm and fire quickly to break the middle vases. | | Keep firing 'till you've killed the Long-Arm. This may take up to four | | shots. Equip the thunder orb and move to the bottom far right and smash | | the vase. Absorb the floating souls. Start moving up along the right side | | and be expecting a Three-Eye to fall from the ceiling. As soon as he does, | | hold R1 and slash him. Get over him quickly and kill him with a sword | | thrust. Do not let him get up, as he can move very quickly. If he breaks | | even one vase, you're done. Smash the vase in the top right and get the | | Herb from the box. Move over to the top left and smash the vase. Now | | move down along the left side expecting the second Three-Eye to appear, | | but don't worry about killing him. Make a bee line to the last vase and | | break it before he can even move towards you. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::::: Level 11 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Long-Arm Demon x1 | | Three-Eye x2 | | Very Hard | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Equip the Wind Orb, move a few steps forward and to the right and launch a | | wind attack. Equip the thunder orb and go after the Three-Eye on the | | right. Kill him, and then go for the Three-Eye on the left. After you've | | killed both of them, slash a path straight to the Long-Arm and hit him | | with a bit of magic. Absorb all of the souls, take an Herb if you need to, | | and smash the remaining vases. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /:::::::::: Level 12 ::::::::::\ ________________________________________/ \__ | | | Barabazuu x2 | | Bazuu x1 | | Very Hard | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Equip the Fire Orb. Hold R1 and use a magic attack, flooring one of the | | Barabazuus. Keep R1 held to target the other one and hit him with a fire | | attack. You should be out of fire magic, so equip the Wind Orb. Go over | | to the first Barabazuu and hit him with a wind attack. This should knock | | him down again. Quickly go over to the second Barabazuu, equip the thunder | | orb and hit him with magic to kill him. Now either target the Barabazuu or | | the Bazuu and kill the one after the other. You can also equip your | | Matchlock (if you have any ammo left) and use it to kill them quickly. Use | | up everything you've got, this is the last level. After you've killed | | them, go around smashing the vases. Congratulations, you're done. | |____________________________________________________________________________| ____________________________ / \ /::::::: Item Locations :::::::\
