Introduction *********************************************************************** The Shenmue Collection is located on the menu screen of the fourth disk on the Dreamcast version or simply on the menu screen for the Xbox version. This mode allows you to play any arcade games, mini-games or street fights that are available throughout Shenmue II but it’s not as easy as just going into the Collection and playing them...you have to first find them in the main game, and that’s why this guide exists. Contact me - jtwelvesixty@hotmail.com Visit my site - www16.brinkster.com/jtwelvesixty At my site you can view a more nicely formatted copy of this FAQ which also includes some additional info that I felt was unnecessary to include for this version. Section 2. Contents of Shenmue Collection *********************************************************************** There are three sections in the Shenmue Collection each containing different things so here is a list of contents in exact order as it appears in the Collection... Arcade Collection: Classified Images Hang-On Space Harrier OutRun AFTERBURNER II Games Collection: QTE Title Excite QTE2 Slot Machine Lucky Hit Museum Darts Seven VS Darts/Old Man VS Darts/Boy VS Darts/A Snob VS Darts/A Baseball Fan VS Darts/A Rapper Fight Collection: Moves Scroll The Beast Mongolian Wrestler Iron Thrust Style Acrobat Style Iron Head Style One-eyed Man Passive Raid Style Wrestling Pancratium Jeet Kune Do Tiger Swallow Style Section 3. Arcade Locations *********************************************************************** This is the location of all the things in the Arcade Collection... Classified Images: This is unlocked automatically when you complete the game so don't worry about looking for photo's or anything. It actually contains a very nice video featuring Shenmue when it was still scheduled for release on the Saturn. Many of the events and characters will be familiar. Hang-On: Easily the hardest to find thing in the game is the Hang-On arcade unit. It's in Kowloon and located on the 2nd floor of the Yellow Head Building in Room 222. It's only accessible near the end of the game unfortunately so play it so you can enjoy it in the Collection later. Space Harrier: This one is located in the corner of the Pine Arcade in the Golden Qr of Wan Chai. Incidentally, this game is my favorite despite the fact I only ever got to Stage 5 once. Outrun: This one is easy to find, it's also in the Pine Arcade. The Arcade machine is huge and right in the centre of the room with big letters spelling out "Outrun" you really can't miss it. It's also the easiest arcade machine to get the top-score on. AFTERBURNER II: Why all caps? Honestly, I don't know but thats how the game likes it. This is located on the first floor of the Phoenix Building. Just incase you can't find the Phoenix Building, it's accessible through the Tea Break Building in Kowloon, it has a large man standing in front of it. Section 4. Game Locations *********************************************************************** These are all pretty easy to find so you shouldn't have any problems... QTE Title: This can be played in Pine Arcade in Wan Chai, it's right next to the Darts Seven machine. You can also find it on the 8th Floor of the Moon Child Building in the Orphanage which just so happens to be in Kowloon. Excite QTE2: This too can be played in Pine Arcade of Wan Chai fame and is right beside the Neo Darts machine. You can also find it in the Orphanage on the 8th Floor of the Moon Child Building in Kowloon. Slots: This is easy enough, just play any Slot machine you come accross, there are a few locations this can be done, Pine Arcade 2F is the easiest but you can also play on the 1st Floor of the Dimsum Building in Kowloon. Lucky Hit Museum: In the Dimsum Qr in Kowloon you'll see a circle of Lucky Hit Stands, play one of them to unlock the museum in the Collection. You should play this anyway as some of the stands pays out a lot of money and are easy to win but others are near impossible. One for Pachinko fans. Darts Seven: This is located in six different places throughout Aberdeen and Wan Chai, simply play a game on your own to unlock it. If you get to the third game you'll get a toy Darts Seven machine and unlike in Shenmue, you can keep on getting them. Darts Seven locations: Pine Arcade (Golden Qr) Liverpool (White Dynasty Qr) SIC (Golden Qr) Fortune's Eateary (Fortune's Pier) Blue Sky Garden (Fortune's Pier) Bar Swing (Worker's Pier) VS Darts/Old Man/Boy/A Snob/A Baseball Fan/A Rapper: These people can be challenged to a game of Darts, I can't give you a precise location because they move around each day and not all will appear on one day. You simply have to try all six of the locations mentioned above until you find them all. Also, note the players tend to only visit two different locations each, if they are not in either then just wait until the next day. Note: Neo Darts is not present in the Collection for some reason, possibly because it's rubbish. Section 5. Fight Locations *********************************************************************** Most of these are in Kowloon so don't worry about it until then... Move Scroll: This is present in the collection from the start and will show you every move you have learned throughout the game. This can be used to arrange your moves so your favorites are available. The Beast: This is located in Beverly Hills Wharf in Aberdeen close to were Cool Z hangs out. It's quite hard to miss, if you have a map just head to the largest area and thats it. The goal of this fight is to knock The Beast out, simple as that. Four smashes with Iron Palm should do the trick. Mongolion Wrestlers: This trio of wrestlers are located in the Former Barracks in Kowloon and it's fairly easy to win. All you must do is avoid their throws and beat all three in sequence although you can quit after just one or two if you don't want to try your luck. Iron Thrust: The old master of the Iron Thrust is located int the Abandoned Factory Site in Kowloon, you'll have to perform two QTE's (both B) then a CQTE to defeat him. Acrobat Style: This is located in Thousand White Qr in Kowloon and all you have to do is throw the opponent which is easier said that done. Keep tapping Y then B and it should be fairly simple, although sometimes the Acrobat loves to do backflips and avoid everything you do. Iron Head: This large guy can be found in the Construction Base in Kowloon, his favorite move is a huge headbutt. You can avoid it but it'll just knock you down for a few seconds. Your goal is to KO him, but thats not easy so just knock him off the edge by dodging out the way when he charges at you. One-Eyed Man: This guy is located Star Gazing Point, also in Kowloon. His left side is a blind spot so just stick to the left and pummel away. Iron Palm is the most effective move. Passive Raid Style: The goal here is to simply score a single hit against your opponent. This may seem hard at first but often you will defeat him with just a straight kick that he was unable to block for some strange reason. Find this opponent in the Small Dragon Garden which is in Kowloon. Wrestling: Found in the Blue Dragon Garden which is also in Kowloon, the opponent here is Greg and fans of wrestling will recognise many of his moves. The easy way to win is to throw him out of the ring but this can sometimes be very difficult to do. I just attacked with my kicks, Tornado Kick works well here. Counter Elbow Assault isn't much use as he will perform mostly throwing moves, you may also want to try Brawling Uppercut, this can take a large chunk out of Greg's health if it connects. Pancratium: You can find your opponent, Rod, in the Phoenix Building which is, you guessed it, in Kowloon. This fight is fairly easy, just keep lunging at him with kicks. Rod might be strong but he's extremely slow and won't be able to repond to any fast attacks. Jeet Kune Do: This fight is against Chunyan and she is a master of Bruce Lee's very own fighting style, therefore she has very powerful kicks. This fight will end with a CQTE, get it right to dodge her attack and defeat her. You can find her in the Black Heaven Building which is in Kowloon. Tiger Swallow Style: This fight is part of the story and so cannot be missed, it's in the Yellow Head Building in Kowloon, just incase you wanted to know. Your opponent is Bauhi and he uses very powerful moves to destroy his opponents. There are a few QTE's and the fight will end with a CQTE. Also, note that if you have Machinegun Fist the fight will end differently. Section 6. Move List *********************************************************************** This is a complete movelist for Shenmue II, both the Xbox and Dreamcast versions have exactly the same controls and, helpfully, the face buttons for their controllers are also identical in all but colour so this list is valid for all versions of the game.

This can be misleading as it appears on the games Movelist. Section 7. Move Scroll Locations *********************************************************************** Now I'll tell you the location of every move scroll in the game, additionally I'll list how to get other characters to teach you their moves and where it can be done... Scrolls: Wise Man's Kung Fu Store on Wise Men Qr: Twin Palm Thrust Dragon Spin Double Storm Kick Stepping Strike (This won't appear if Hanhui has given it to you) Oblique Air Kick Thousand White Building in Kowloon: Machinegun Fist Serpent Coil Rear Foot Sweep Diagonal Wipe Oblique Slam Dragon Spin (Only appears if not previously bought) Double Storm Kick (Only appears if not previously bought) Hanhui's Scrolls: Every day that you work at Master Tao's Temple you will get a scroll. Horseshoe Kick Mantis Combo Stepping Strike (You won't get this if you already bought it) Heel Sweep & Monkey Roll Drop: These can be gotten from the Challenge Stands in Kowloon's Dragon St. There is no real strategy to winning, most get it with blind luck but it is possible despite what you may start to believe. Demons Triangle: Master Tao will give you this scroll at the end of disk 3, you MUST remember to read it on disk 4 or you will never learn the move. Taught Moves: Iron Palm: Jian Ming will teach you this move in Lotus Park while you are looking for the Wude. Jianming will make you use the attack on a nearby tree, once the ground has been covered with leaves you are done. Hind Blow: Guixhang will teach you this move after after she has told you about the Chawan Signs. Just walk by the Yan Tin Apartments and the cutscene will begin. She will use the attack on you and then you will have to defeat an opponent. This attack can be missed so make sure you meet with Guixhang. Wild Throw: Master Zhaoshan will teach you this move after helping Guixhang defeat the Land Sharks. All you have to do is walk past the Guang Martial Arts School and one of the guards will ask you to meet with the Master. This attack can be missed so make sure you meet Master Zhaoshan. Lunging Strike: Hanhui will teach you this on your second day of work at the Temple. Brawling Uppercut: Delin will teach you this move when you're looking for $500 for Ren. You'll find Delin at the far corner of Fortune's Pier looking out to sea, if he's not there try finding the boss and ask to work. Once you've finished lifting crates the cutscene will automatically kick in. Make sure not to miss this as you will not get another chance to learn it. Counter Elbow Assualt: Master Tao will teach you this move before you go to Kowloon. Predictive Explosion: The Musician will teach you this while in Kowloon. Section 8. FAQ *********************************************************************** A FAQ of the most common questions seems in order... Q. How do I win the Challenge Stands? A. With great difficulty :) Seriously, though, it's mostly luck. Keep trying and it'll eventually work out but if you want a little hint holding a direction, either left or right, can "influence" the ball. Q. Where is Neo Darts in the Collection? A. It's not there, I don't know who would miss it really. Q. Do I have to play on all the Hit Stands in Kowloon? A. Nope, only one for it to appear in the Collection, you don't even have to win. Q. I missed something in Wan Chai, can I go back? A. If you're in Kowloon, no. Q. I want to say goodbye to Joy and Guixhang, where are they? A. Joy has already left Wan Chai by this point so don't bother looking for her. As for Guixhang, I have no clue where she is, you can even go into her apartment but she is nowhere to be found. *********************************************************************** Section 9.
