Bakumatsu Kourinden Oni (幕末降臨伝ONI)
Walkthrough / Guide

Platform: Snes / SFC
Released: 02.02.1996

Based on: NTSC-J-version (SHVC-A2OJ-JPN)



- The play time counter pauses while you're in the menu, so it's not
going to be accurate.
- The base damage calculation for physical attacks is ATP - DFP. After
that, we have the random variables. The first one is a multiplier that
increases damage at most by about 12%. The second one seems to be a
simple +0~3. Criticals deal double damage (takes effect before the second
random variable) and defending cuts damage by half (enemies in this game
like to defend rather often).
- Damage for spells is base + Int*4. The base values are listed in the
misc. file. Your magic defense is Int*4. This value is simply subtracted
from received spell damage. Enemies don't have an MDF value, but they
may be resistant (25% damage) or immune to magic.
- Elements work quite simply. There are 6 elements in three opposing pairs:
Fire (F) <> Water (W), Lightning/Wind (T) <> Earth (E), Light (L) <> Dark (D).
Enemies can have a certain elemental affinity, in which case their physical
attack uses this element, they are immune to or absorb their own element,
and take double damage from attacks that have the opposing element.
- There are three different types of special attacks:
 × Houjutsu (essentially magic), learned by leveling up.
 × Kenjutsu, learned by leveling up the ultimate weapons.
 × Kamioroshi (summon spells), obtained through various tasks. Some can
 be taught to any character, while others are character-specific.
- When casting magic, press up/down to switch between a single target
and all targets.
- Poison: 12,5% HP
- Only humanoid(ish) enemies drop money.
- Dead characters are automatically revived with 1 HP after battle.
- When you level up, any leftover Exp is lost. Level up gains are randomized.
- Many areas are arbitrarily deemed off-limits until you've reached a
certain point in the game.
- The game features a Karma system where certain actions increase or
decrease your Karma rating. The game doesn't show the actual figure,
just a title. Reaching max Karma can be tricky, as there's a finite
amount of Karma you can gain, but there's some room for error.
- The potency of some stat-boost items is affected by your Karma.
            HP,MP|SP
 Futsuu    | 20   10
 Ii Hito   | 24   12
 Zennin    | 28   14
 Oerai     | 32   16
 Odeekan   | 36   18
 Sennin    | 40   20
 Kamisama  | 44   22

- If your Karma title is Odeekansama or above, item drop rate is increased.
- If your Karma title is Senninsama or above, you gain 50% more gold
from enemies and summon spells gain a small damage boost (maybe a 10%
increase in base power. Either way, not significant).
- If / When the music gets too annoying, just go with the mute button.
That's what I always do.
- If a poisoned enemy runs away, the visual effect of the poison will
still remain, even showing poison damage.
- After some of the events in Shikoku, if you use an item in the small
dock areas west of Okayama, north of Umibe no Mura, or north of Beppu,
the game will crash.

- Items in brackets are items that will give you a Karma penalty (-2
in most cases) should you choose to pick one up. For dialog choices,
you need to choose 'Yes' unless otherwise noted.
- Press Start in the menu to access the Config menu. You can change
the text scrolling speed (set it to fast), window colors and the way
you input commands during battle.
- You can press Select to review your current objective, but unless you
know a little Japanese, it won't really help you. Then again, you have
this guide, so...
- Go grab the chest in the little warehouse then return to your mother.
- Afterwards, you can get Naozane (behind a tree) to join you as an NPC
ally. NPC characters that join you will occasionally appear to help you
in battle. Press Y in the menu to enter the NPC menu where you can
activate NPCs or set them on standby. At most, you can have 8 NPCs
active at any given time.
- Make sure you save your game by the statue before heading out. Dying
means restarting from the last save.
- You can rest at your place by talking to your mother.
- Note that, in most occasions, the d-pad has to be on neutral in order
for A and B input to register.
- Once you're prepared, head to the mountain northwest.

						\\\ Maruyama ||
Items: Yakusou, Ganyaku, Doguu no Kakera (Artifact, Temp), Yakusou
Boss: Biwabokuboku
- A small area. You'll fight the boss when you enter the cave (choose
'Yes' or you'll lose karma).

[Boss]
- ~120 HP, 25 Exp, 160 G

Items (nc): Suzukake, n× Yakusou		\\\ Iida ||
NPC: Yachiho
- You'll fight a battle you can't win. After the event, go talk to your
mother.
- Afterwards, talk to your grandfather for the Suzukake.

Item (nc): (Hayate no Tama)			\\\ Toyama ||
PC: Juurouta Lv5
NPC: Koneko / Shibainu / Hiyoko a
Default (Juurouta): Katana, Kinu no Koromo, Waraji (Unique)
- An old man at the inn asks for a Yakusou (gain some Karma).
- Talk to Juurouta. After she joins, it's possible to cross the bridge
west to reach Kyou. There's some nice gear there, so go pick something
up if you have the money. Either way, your next official destination
is the mountain east.

Items: Yakusou, Kyahan, Ganyaku, Seisui		\\\ Minagamiyama ||
- Good place to get money.
- If you trigger an encounter in a specific spot, the graphics will
glitch out a bit, but it'll go back to normal if you leave.
- Check the wall where the demon entered to get inside. After the
events, it's time to head to Kyou.

						\\\ Kyou ||
Items (nc): (Izumi no Kami) (Unique), (500 G)
Bosses: Nue, Oni & Kijo Momiji
Shop:
 Yumiya			 130 G		Sashiko no Koromo	 180 G
 Kakute			 160 G		Suzukake		 450 G
 Nageyari		 210 G		Kusarikatabira		 680 G
 Zangetsu		 320 G		Tokin			 210 G
 Shakujou		 280 G		Kabuto			 420 G
 Zantetsuken		 440 G		Kusarikyahan		 330 G
 Hozutsu		3000 G

 Seisui			   8 G		Ranjatai	      50 000 G
 Kitsuke		  10 G		Shunmin no Kona		   4 G

- This is the best gear you can buy in quite a while, so try to get it
as soon as possible. You can pass up on the Hozutsu for now, but you'll
eventually need one for an NPC. Get one Shunmin no Kona.
- Head to the building with four guys blocking the entrance. After
the event, you need to talk to the people inside (they'll temporarily
join as NPCs) and fight a demon somewhere in town. You have to do them
one at a time. Some of them are immune to physicals, so you need to use
your spells.
 × Western bridge.
 × At the shrine on the northern side of town. (Nue: 50 xp, 240 G)
 × Talk to the woman in the item shop west, then check one of the boxes.
 × Talk to the woman in the house east of the building. Afterwards, you
 can ask the guy for the money he got, but this will reduce your Karma
 (choose 'No' to avoid it).
 × Talk to the monk at the other shrine on the north side of town.
 × Walk around the trees near the building. (Oni & Kijo Momiji: 100 xp, 320 G)

- Once you're done with all of them, a new bridge will appear west of Kyou.
- Taking the Izumi no Kami results in pretty heavy Karma loss.

Item (nc): (Chikara no Tama)			\\\ Izumo ||
- Go down the hole in the remains to meet Natsume.

						\\\ Yatsukayama ||
Items: Shiroshouzoku (Unique), Kujaku no Hane, Yakusou, Doguu no Kakera
PC: Natsume Lv1
Default (Natsume): Kodachi, Kinu no Koromo, Kanzashi (Unique)
- This is the mountain just south of Izumo. As soon as you enter,
Natsume will join the party.
- You'll find an entrance to a cave, but you can't enter. After checking
it, a new bridge will appear east of Toyama, allowing you to reach
northern Honshuu. You can check it out if you want, but there's really
nothing of interest there (aside from some dungeons and optional bosses
you can't handle yet).

NPC: Kanpei					\\\ Kyou ||
- You can now find Kanpei at the inn.

						\\\ Toyama ||
- Talk to the man/woman(?) near the save point, then head to the shrine
east.

Items: Ninyaku, Yakusou, Kyahan			\\\ Ooishi Jinja ||
Item (nc): Mitamaishi (Unique, Temp)
Boss: Ishi no Kami
- Check one of the trees behind the shrine to find a hole.

[Boss]
- 210 Exp, Kongoujou (Unique, Temp)

						\\\ Nikkou ||
- An old woman here asks you to take her to Edo (south of the village).
Doing so should increase your Karma title for the first time (Iihito).

Item (nc): (200 G)				\\\ Edo ||
NPCs: Kamonoseki, Densuke - 400 G, Kotarou - 200 G
Shop: Kagerou no Suzu - 4 G
- Get one Kagerou no Suzu.
- Densuke is in the northwest corner, and Kotarou is in the southeast
house. You need to get Densuke first if you want both (if you get
Kotarou first, Densuke will refuse to join).

Shop: Reishisou - 4 G				\\\ Herai ||
- You'll need one of these too.
- This town is in north Honshuu.

- There's a tough, optional boss in Hachinohe (the guy in the corner).
Don't bother trying to beat him yet.

NPC: Goemon - 300 G				\\\ Yokohama ||
Shop: Kujaku no Hane - 30 G
Kamioroshi: Jizaiten
- South from Toyama. If you go to the mountain nearby, you will die.
- You can find Goemon in the inn.
- The Kujaku no Hane allows you to warp to any town you've previously
visited. At Lv25, Juurouta learns a spell that has the same effect.
- Talk to the man hiding behind one of the lamps on the northern side
of town, then check the lamp closest to the southwest entrance. Offer
the following five items to it, and you'll obtain your first summon
spell, Jizaiten.
 1. Yakusou
 2. Seisui
 3. Shunmin no Kona
 4. Kagerou no Suzu
 5. Reishisou

- Jizaiten (45 MP): Wind \ all. (550)
- Natsume is a great choice for the summon spells that aren't character-
specific, as she doesn't learn any normal spells until late in the game.

Items: Kusarikyahan, Ninyaku			\\\ Houjuyama ||
NPC: Akane
- This one's southwest of Herai.
- Try to enter the warehouse, then talk to the monk inside the shrine.
- Go through the hidden passage in the shrine to find Akane.

Items: Kakure Mino, Kitsuke, Seisui		\\\ Hieizan ||
Item (nc): Seika (Unique, Temp)
NPC: Midori - Ninyaku
- East of Izumo.
- Using a Kakure Mino prevents random encounters for about 240 steps.
The effect wears off if you move to another area.
- Talk to the monk to get the Seika.

						\\\ Houjuyama ||
Items: (Kunai), (Kin no Kanzashi) (Unique), Seihousui, Ninyaku,
 Kujaku no Hane
Items (nc): Kura no Kagi (Unique, Temp), Oodenta (Unique)
- Take the Seika to the monk, and you'll temporarily gain access to the
warehouse and the cave within (step on where the seal was to enter the
cave). Opening the chests in the warehouse results in Karma loss.
- At the end, you'll receive the Oodenta, Juurouta's ultimate weapon.
The ultimate weapons are weapons that can be leveled up and very much
require you to do so in order for them to live up to their name.
Leveling them up also allows you to learn Kenjutsu. Having one of
these weapons equipped halves the amount of Exp the character gains,
although the weapon still gains the full amount.
- Kenjutsu consumes SP. You recover 1 SP per step. There are also items
that recover SP, but you won't be able to buy them until late in the game.
- Return the key to the monk before leaving the mountain or you'll lose
a fair bit of Karma. Returning it increases your Karma a little.
If you leave with the key, you can still go back to return it, and
(probably) gain the same amount of Karma as when you return it without
leaving, but you'll still end up with Karma lost.

						\\\ Rokkou ||
NPCs: Ichi no Deshi, Ni no Deshi, San no Deshi
- Visit Juurouta's home for an event, then head for Rokkou Arechi
(the little brown spot just south of town).
- Don't forget that you can press Y in the menu to customize the NPC setup.

Item (nc): Juzumaru (Unique)			\\\ Rokkou Arechi ||
- Go through the events to score your second ultimate weapon (Tenka Goken).

						\\\ Nikkou ||
- Go talk to the elder and you'll be taken to the mountain.

Items: Kintan, Sashiko no Koromo		\\\ Futarayama ||
Item (nc): Aoi Houju (Unique, Temp)
Default (Touya): Zantetsuken, Kusarikatabira, Kusarikyahan
TPC: Touya Lv17
Boss: Sarugami

[Boss]
- 448 HP, 200 Exp, 350 G

- Afterwards, Touya joins the party. He will eventually be replaced by
Squanto after taking an arrow in the knee.

						\\\ Izumo ||
- As you enter, Natsume asks if you could stop to rest. Doing so may
trigger a flashback scene involving Natsume and her brothers. There are
a few different ones, and you can even trigger the same one multiple
times. These are all optional, however, and don't seem to have an
impact on anything.

Items: Nageyari, Kunai, Kitsuke, Kakure Mino	\\\ Yatsukayama ||
Item (nc): Magatama (Unique, Temp)

- Once you're done at Yatsukayama, go to the little dock at the west
end of Honshuu to catch a boat to Kyuushuu.

Kamioroshi: Shiisaa				\\\ Shrine ||
- This is the shrine west of the dock. Check one of the dog statues
to receive Shiisaa.
 × Shiisaa (30 MP): Increase Int of all characters by 10-15%.

NPC: Ittanmomen					\\\ Shrine ||
- This is the shrine south of the dock. Although Ittanmomen uses an
NPC slot, he won't actually appear in battle. Instead, you can ride
him on the world map by pressing Start. There will be no encounters
while riding. You can't ride across the ocean or over mountains.

Kamioroshi: Inarishin				\\\ Kagoshima ||
Shop: Kunai - 20 G
- Get some Kunais (150+ pod). They're pretty good against bosses.
- You can get Inarishin by talking to the guy near the fox. This will
also increase your Karma.
 × Inarishin (30 MP): Increase ATP of all characters by 10%.
- There's an old woman who asks for a Kintan in one of the houses.
- Karma title up (Iihito -> Zennin).

NPC: Okuni - 800 G				\\\ Takachiho ||
Shop:
 Kikuichimonji		 620 G		Shishi no Suzukake	 810 G
 Asahi no Tsurugi	 840 G		Ooyoroi			1050 G
 Shichiseiken		1090 G		Genji no Yoroi		1320 G
 Kongousha		 550 G		Tsuru no Koromo		1020 G
 Kamayari		 410 G		Hoshikabuto		 510 G
 Neko no Tsume		 290 G		Harikakekabuto		 640 G
 Jizai no Kakute	 450 G		Hikyaku no Kutsu	 460 G
 Hamayumi		 310 G		Nanakusakyahan		 590 G
 Kirisame		 590 G		Ninyaku			  20 G
					Seihousui		  16 G

						\\\ Waterfall Cave ||
Items: Yumemi no Koromo (Unique), Genji no Yoroi, Ninyaku
Item (nc): Mikazuki (Unique)
NPC: Hebiyoukai
Bosses: Hebiyoukai, 2× Ihika
- This place is just north of Takachiho. You'll fight the first boss
as soon as you enter.

[Boss]
- 1240 HP, 250 Exp, 200 G, W:F, I:W

- You'll be taken back to the world map. Return to town to heal and
save. When you go back, you'll be taken into the dungeon and won't be
able to leave until you're done there.
- Soon after passing through the underwater section, you'll obtain
Natsume's ultimate weapon, the Mikazuki.

[Boss]
- 616 HP, 500 Exp, 400 G, I:M

- Use the pad you saw earlier to warp out. You won't be able to return here.

NPC: Kourai					\\\ Shrine ||
- This one's west of Okayama.

Items: Kujaku no Hane, Seihousui		\\\ Toowariyama ||
- North of Herai.
- The Yagyousans are very annoying, as they're immune to physicals and
spam your entire party with a number of status ailments. I suggest using
summons or Kemuridamas. You can't buy Kemuridamas (yet), but you should
have gotten some from fighting Karakasas.
- Check the box twice.

						\\\ Herai ||
- Talk to the old woman in the northwest house.

Item: Doguu no Kakera				\\\ Derarezu no Mori ||
Items (nc): 4x Fuwafuwasou (Artifact, Temp)
- Find the 4 flowers.
- The chest is mostly hidden from view.

						\\\ Niigata ||
Kamioroshi: Shakouki Doguu, Kushinadahime
Bosses: Hebiyoukai, Hebiyoukai
- Assuming you've found all 3 Doguu no Kakeras, take them to a guy here
to get Doguu.
 × Shakouki Doguu (45 MP, Juurouta): Earth-elemental magic \ all.
- Next, talk to woman northwest and take care of the two Hebiyoukais
(they're the same as the one you fought before) to obtain Kushinadahime.
 × Kushinadahime (45 MP, Yamatomaru): Water-elemental magic \ all.

						\\\ Herai ||
Items (nc): Furui Sekiban (Unique, Temp), Fuwafuwasake (Unique, Temp)
- Return to the old woman.

						\\\ Toowariyama ||
Items: Kazekiruzukin (Unique), Ninyaku, Uzu no Doku, Kintan, Seihousui,
 Kurenai no Tachi (Unique), Uzu no Doku, Renzoku no Kusuri, Kunai,
 Kakure Mino, Yakusou, Seisui, Hoshikabuto, Nanakusakyahan
Item (nc): Doujigiri (Unique)
- You will no longer be able to get inside the mountain once you
complete the events here.
- This is the longest dungeon in the game and also the first dungeon
where you'll find a save / recovery point (two of them, in fact).
- After using the elevator, there's a path that takes you back to the
beginning.
- In the fiery area, you have to check one of the stalagmites. When
you do, you'll obtain the Doujigiri. The xp is pretty good, so get some
levels for it right away before you take care of the hole.

						\\\ Herai ||
- When you leave the house, some guy will show up. You need to talk to
him to proceed. If you wander around instead, you may lose karma. I'm
not sure, but better not risk it.

NPC: Kurama - Kurenai no Tachi			\\\ Hachinohe ||
- If you're willing to let go of your Kurenai no Tachi, you can get
Kurama to join as an NPC (he's inside one of the houses).

						\\\ Okayama ||
- Talk to the guy near the entrance and he'll agree to take you to
Shikoku (the dock is just south of town).

						\\\ Beppu ||
- Talk to the man in the northwest corner and he'll turn out to be a
friendly youkai named Tanukichi. Agree to help him build a village for
other youkais like him (gain some Karma).
- The Youkai no Mura side quest involves inviting youkais into the
village which would be quite simple if it weren't for the fact that
they have to be invited IN A SPECIFIC ORDER, otherwise some of them
will disappear, preventing you from fully completing the quest. If you
manage to pull it off correctly, you'll be rewarded with one of the
strongest weapons in the game. Do *not* fuck it up.

- One more time: YOU NEED TO GET THE YOUKAIS IN A SPECIFIC ORDER! Also,
most of them require that you choose the correct dialog option. You
gain karma from every new resident.

						\\\ Umibe no Mura ||
1. Bakebi: The guy in the southwest corner. Choose 'No' ('Iie').

						\\\ Hachinohe ||
2. Tsurubeotoshi: The guy behind one of the trees. Choose 'No.'

Items (nc): n× Onigiri				\\\ Youkai no Mura ||
- You can get as many Onigiris as you want, but you can only have one
of them at a time.

NPC: Katsura - Onigiri				\\\ Umibe no Mura ||

NPC: Takeaki - Seki no Magoroku			\\\ Okayama ||

						\\\ Rokkou ||
3. Kappa a: The kid in the southeast corner. Choose 'Yes' ('Hai').
- Karma title up (Zennin -> Oeraisan).

						\\\ Nikkou ||
4. Korobo: The kid behind one of the sheds.

						\\\ Herai ||
5. Pokkun: Behind one of the sheds. Choose 'No.'

						\\\ Iida ||
6. Ko'oni: In the warehouse. Choose 'Yes.'

- That's all for now. You need to be careful and not accidentally talk
to one of the remaining ones (until you're supposed to). Oh, and when
we get back to this, you need to be able buy a Ranjatai at Kyou (50 grand).

Item (nc): Rouya no Kagi (Unique)		\\\ Yamashiro ||
Kamioroshi: Naraenten
Boss: Izou
Shop:
 Seki no Magoroku	1350 G		Naginata		 590 G
 Nichirin no Tsue	 970 G		Houraikyuu		 990 G
 Hinawajuu		6000 G		Tora no Tsume		 800 G
					Shura no Kakute		 800 G

- Check the tree on the east side to get Naraenten. You'll have to give
up the Kongoujou in exchange, though.
 × Naraenten (50 MP): Heal 2000/n HP and recover status for all.
- Talk to the woman in the house north of the item shop, then enter the
northwest house from behind (you have to examine the right spot).

[Boss]
- 744 HP, 400 Exp, 225 G

- Once you've rescued Yuuma and taken him back home, go get the items
from the five shrines located around the island.

Kamioroshi: Karuraou				\\\ Minagamiyama ||
- Now that you have Naraenten, you can also get Karuraou.
 × Karuraou: 45 MP, Natsume, Fire.

Item (nc): Hihou Yubiwa (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Shrine ||
Item (nc): Hihou Hon (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Shrine ||
Item (nc): Hihou Kagi (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Shrine ||
Item (nc): Hihou Suishou (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Shrine ||
Item (nc): Hihou Tsubo (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Shrine ||

						\\\ Tsurugiyama ||
Items: Ninyaku, Seihousui, Shippuu no Tsurugi (Unique), Reishisou,
 Kintan, Seinaru Tama
Item (nc): Kowareta Onimaru (Unique, Temp)
Boss: Izou 2 (& 2× Samurais)
- Place the items on the rocks like so:
               1: Suishou
     1         2: Kagi
   5   2       3: Hon
    4 3        4: Yubiwa
               5: Tsubo

- You'll fight Izou again after placing them correctly.

[Boss]
- 744 HP, 560 Exp, 405 G

- You can't get back inside once you complete the events here.
- Kiyohimes (found only inside the mountain) drop Megami no Namidas.
You'll need one for an NPC, but you'll find one in the next dungeon,
so you don't have to get it here.
- Choose 'Yes,' during the scene when you're sealing the reiketsu or
you'll lose Karma.

						\\\ Kyou ||
- Talk to the guys in the northwest room.

NPC: Gennobou - Megami no Namida		\\\ Shrine ||
- This is the second shrine southeast of Yamashiro.

						\\\ Asuka Ishibutai ||
Items: Kintan, Megami no Namida, Ninyaku, Seihousui, Shuriken,
 Jinrei no Mamori (Unique), Inochi no Tama, Oni no Tama, Kujaku no Hane
Item (nc): Onimaru (Unique)
Boss: Izou 3 (& 2× Samurais)
- This place is south of Kyou.
- Check the rocks, then check the monkey statues to reveal the path
(checking the wrong ones will drop your HP to 1, but you can just
head back to town to heal up).
- This is a good place to get the money you need for the Ranjatai. You
can get 10k in about an hour. You have to get it right away, though,
since you, again, won't have access to the dungeon after finishing it.
- You can actually choose whether to fight Izou or not. I'm fairly sure
this doesn't affect your Karma.

[Boss]
- 744 HP, 560 Exp, 405 G

- After the events, the Tenshin forms become available. The Tenshin forms
have the following features:
 × Stats are multiplied (as seen in the misc. file).
 × Unable to use any waza.
 × Consumes 30 SP per turn.
 × Weapon elements are ignored.
- You can toggle the Tenshin form outside of battle as well, in the
Config menu.
- Your weapons have been de-equipped.

						\\\ Umibe no Mura ||
- Talk to the guy in the northeast corner, then head for the forest south.

Item (nc): Ikada (Unique, Temp)			\\\ Ryuuga Mori ||
Boss: Kodama
- Check the lone tree to fight the boss.

[Boss]
- 1000 Exp, W:F, A:W, I:M

- Afterwards, choose 'No,' or you'll get a game over.

Item (nc): Horagai (Unique)			\\\ Umibe no Mura ||
- Check back with the guy and you'll soon end up in Ezo (ie. Hokkaidou).

Shop:						\\\ Hakodate ||
 Nikkouken		1850 G		Kiseki no Yoroi		1590 G
 Kotetsu		2250 G		Ushiwaka no Yoroi	1980 G
 Kudayari		 970 G		Hououzukin		 730 G
 Tsukikage no Yumi	1540 G		Kisshoukabuto		 770 G
 Oni no Kagizume	 800 G		Kirin no Kutsu		 850 G

- Buy a Kudayari.
- Enter the inn for a scene (choose 'Yes' when prompted).
 × Karma title up (Oeraisan -> Odeekansama)
- Afterwards, talk to the girl at the inn twice.

Item (nc): Muramasa (Unique)			\\\ Shrine ||
Kamioroshi: Kongouyasha
- Northeast of Hakodate.
- Save the game before trying this.
- Talk to the guy, then approach the shrine to make Kongouyasha appear.
He'll ask you two questions. In the ideal scenario, the correct responses
are 'No' on both. In this case, you'll obtain both the summon and the
sword.
- If you get it wrong, he'll zap you for lying, but you don't seem to
lose any Karma. If you've already completed the Youkai no Mura side
quest, you have to choose 'Yes' on the first one, in which case you'll
get the summon but not the sword.
 × Kongouyasha: 80 MP, non-elemental

						\\\ Hakodate ||
- You can now finish the Youkai no Mura side quest. Keep in mind, this
requires you to buy a Ranjatai, but you don't actually lose it, so you
can sell it afterwards to get all your money back. If you didn't get
the money at Asuka, go with Ryuuga Mori or Shikoku.

7. Hashiri Jizou: Disguised as one of the save points. Choose 'Yes.'

						\\\ Izumo ||
8. Ayashibi a: Behind the inn. Choose 'Yes.'

						\\\ Takachiho ||

12. Tanujou: By the well. Choose 'Yes.'

					\\\ Shrine (west of Okayama) ||
13. Kappa b: Check the well. Requires a Ranjatai. Choose 'Yes.'
- Karma title up (Odeekansama -> Senninsama)

						\\\ Okayama ||
14. Ayashibi b: Southeast corner. Choose 'No.'

						\\\ Nikkou ||
15. Tanumi: Northeast corner. Choose 'No.'

Kamioroshi: Gundariou				\\\ Herai ||
- Talk to the guy behind the tree, then offer a Kudayari at the spring
to obtain Gundariou (you have the option of offering other spears as
well, but they won't do anything). While the spell is eventually
transferred to Natsume, she can't get it directly in Touya's stead.
 × Gundariou: 90 MP, Touya, heal 200 SP to all.

						\\\ Umibe no Mura ||
16. Korori: Northwest corner. Choose 'No.'

						\\\ Beppu ||
17. Ayashibi c: Behind a tree. Choose 'No.'

 Hayate no Tama		1000 G  (Agi +5)
 Kokoro no Tama		1000 G  (Int +5)

- Assuming you got all 17 youkais, you will be rewarded with the Fuurin
Kazan, a sword with a fairly respectable ATP of 250. I suggest you give
it to Touya.
- Oh, and you can also buy stat-boost items.

NPC: Kouryuuzeki - Chikara no Tama		\\\ Izumo ||

NPC: Chuuta - 1500 G				\\\ Abashiri ||
Shop: Kouraiyaku - 10 G, Kintan - 50 G
- There's a guy who asks for a Ganyaku here (gain some Karma).
 × Karma title up (Senninsama -> Kamisama Mitai)
  × If you indeed reach max Karma here, you should load the game and
  save this for later in case you need it.

Bosses: George, Rish				\\\ Onsen ||
- This place is just outside of Hakodate.
- Use the healing spring and you'll fight the bosses.

[Boss]
- 1064 HP, 250 Exp, 50 G
 |
[Boss]
- 750 Exp, 250 G, W:L, I:D

- Enter the spring again.

						\\\ Hakodate ||
- Talk to the guy near the well and give him 100 G (once is enough).
After that, you can enter the cave north.

						\\\ Onsen Cave ||
Items: Shippuu no Hoko (Unique), Suimu no Omamori [sic*](Unique),
 Megami no Namida, Kintan, Soyokaze no Koromo (Unique)
Boss: Gyuuki
- Talk to the guy inside the house. You'll gain some Karma afterwards
when you go inside the cave.
- You will no longer have access to this dungeon, you know the story.
- *: I think it's supposed to be Suima no Omamori.

[Boss]
- 750 Exp, Immune to all waza & elements
- Fuurin Kazan won't do any damage unless the wielder is in Tenshin form.

- Go down the hole where the boss was and examine the pond in front of
the reiketsu.
- Return to the cave entrance.

Kamioroshi: Shichifukujin			\\\ Iida ||
- If or when you manage to reach max Karma, go rest at home to obtain
Shichifukujin.
 × Shichifukujin: 90 MP, Yamatomaru, greatly increase the odds of NPCs
 appearing during a battle.

Item (nc): (10 000 G)				\\\ Yokohama ||
Shop:
 Kyokadan 1		10 G		Shuuri Set 1		 10 G

 Kirimomidan 2		20 G		Shuuri Set 4		200 G
 Kirimomidan 3		30 G
 Sakuretsudan 1		30 G
 Sakuretsudan 2		50 G

- There's a guy in the item shop who offers to give you 10 000 G but
taking it will result in Karma loss.
- Talk to the sailor at the docks, then go to the east dock and talk
to the old man. Give him the Ikada and 1000 G, and he'll build a ship
for you. Go rest somewhere and he'll be done. After that, you can buy
ship-related items at the other item shop.
- A new option will now appear in the Config menu. This will toggle
whether or not the game remembers your command choices during ship battles.
- Go to the west dock to set sail.

						\\\ The Sea ||
- You can check your ship's status in the NPC menu. Press L or R while
there to use healing items. As you level up the ship, the old man will
be able to upgrade it (for a price, of course). Whenever you upgrade,
you need to rest somewhere before it's done. I'm not sure if leveling
up alone increases any of the ship's stats (certainly not HP). The fact
that you can still gain a bunch of levels even after the last upgrade
becomes available suggests that it's possible,
- Your destination is North America. While sailing, you'll run into
normal battles, underwater battles, and ship battles. Early on in ship
battles, it's possible for an enemy ship to get a lucky shot that will
kill you in one hit. You should go back and save after every ship battle
until you've reached Lv3 and upgraded your ship for the first time.
- If you just can't be bothered with leveling up your ship, using
Kakure Mino will get you across with ease. Go east from Hokkaidou, then
use another one once the game loads the eastern side of the Pacific.
- In underwater battles, you can't use waza or Tenshin and you have
limited oxygen. You can refill your oxygen by using the command to go
to the surface or by using certain items.
 × You may not be able to handle Daiouikas and Obakeikas.

Kamioroshi: Dryad				\\\ Himitsu no Mori ||
- You can fairly easily find this island by going east along the southern
border. It doesn't actually show a forest on the map, just sand.
 × Dryad: 50 MP, non-elemental

- Afterwards, you'll obtain Huey.
 × Huey: 5 MP, drain MP from all enemies

Item (nc): n× Air Flower (Artifact, Temp)	\\\ Grande Kawa ||
Boss: Suima
- Go to the dock south of Port Mura and you'll end up at the bottom of
the river.
- The Air Flower gives you 2 minutes worth of air (only counts down on
the field). You can get a new one from the pot. If you run out of air,
it's game over.

 Beeru, Nijiiro no Hane (all Unique, Temp)

to the trees in alphabetical order. You'll get the first item by giving
10 Crosses to h, then you just talk to the trees in reverse order.

has to be at least Oeraisan in order to get him.

 Fudoujou		1990 G		Ninuri no Kagizume	1230 G

- Talk to a guy in one of the tipis and choose 'Yes' to get the Toride
no Kagi (gain some Karma).
- An old woman in one of the tipis asks for a Megami no Namida. Give one,
and you'll receive the Shukufuku no Kona in return.
- Buy a Masamune.

NPC: Paptelot					\\\ Grande ||
Kamioroshi: Ifrit
- You can get Paptelot if you have Jinn.
- Use the Shukufuku no Kona on the fire in the left-most tipi to get Ifrit.

 (Gewehr Juu) (Unique)
Items (nc): Tiara (Unique, Temp), Piasu (Unique)
- That thing in front of the temple is a save point.
- Taking the chests will result in Karma loss, but you should still take
the Seinaru Omamori. If you've screwed up, losing a little more Karma
doesn't matter, and if you haven't screwed up, you'll get back to max
with the next event.
- Place the Tiara on the altar in the lowest room (choose 'Yes' then
'No' or you'll lose Karma).
- After the events in the next dungeon, you won't be able to do
business with almost any of the shops in Japan. Make sure you haven't
missed anyone who requires an item that needs to be bought (Takeaki,
Richard, Gundariou).

purpose it has, though, if any.

 |
[Boss]
- 3600 Exp, W:L, I:DP, R:M
- Tenshin forms can cut past his physical immunity.
- Casting Huey a couple of times will prevent him from casting spells,
which are quite devastating (1000 pod to all).

- Try to leave. Touya will be gone after the next event. His equipment
will be automatically removed.

[Boss]
- 5400 Exp, W:W, A:F, R:M, Immune to Tenshin

Special: Spell transfer				\\\ Grande Kawa ||
Default (Squanto): Guardian Ono (Unique), Kegawa no Fuku (Unique),
 Hanekazari (Unique)
PC: Squanto Lv35
- Natsume will obtain all of Touya's spells (including summons) and
Squanto will join the party as the fourth and final party member.

						\\\ Yokohama ||
- You'll run into some guys as you try to leave. Choose 'No' or you'll
lose karma (if you choose 'Yes' twice, you'll get a game over).
- The shougun has now declared you an enemy of the state and, as a result,
most shops will refuse to do business with you, and if you try to stay
at an inn, you'll be attacked by some Shinsengumi thugs (worth 2000 xp).

						\\\ Hill Mura ||
- Talk to the guy wandering around the east side of the village (required
to make Ayar Kachi appear) (no, you can't do this until you've gone
through the event at Yokohama).

Kamioroshi: Ayar Kachi				\\\ Hitokuiyama ||
Boss: Jabberwock 2

[Boss]
- 3000 Exp, W:E, I:TM

- Ayar Kachi: Squanto, 95 MP

NPC: Nekomata / Ookami Otoko / Hiyoko b		\\\ Toyama ||
- You can now get your pet "upgraded." If you didn't get a pet before
Squanto joined the party, you won't be able to get one now.

NPC: Sora					\\\ Kyou ||
- Sora's at one of the shrines.

NPC: Kaishuu - Masamune				\\\ Rokkou ||

NPC: Saizou					\\\ Yamashiro ||
- If you have Densuke and Kanpei, you can find Saizou in the northwest
corner. Find him again behind the item shop (need to refresh the area
before he spawns) and he'll join you.

Kamioroshi: Ame no Tajikarao			\\\ Hachinohe ||
Boss: Tajikarao
- At this point, you should be able to take out Tadzikara.

[Boss]
- 800 Exp
- Yamatomaru solo. Use Gekishinraikou. Should take only 3.

- Ame no Tajikarao: 60 MP, Yamatomaru, single.

NPC: Hakushin					\\\ Shrine ||
Boss: Tsukumogami
- This is the shrine north of Hachinohe.

[Boss]
- 6000 Exp, 4000 G, I:M, Utsushimi no Ken (Unique)
- You need to get a little lucky here, but you should be able to do it.
If not, try again later. Hakushin will join you after beating him.

 Megami no Shizuku, Myouyaku, Kiseki no Omamori (Unique),
 Chikara no Tama
Kamioroshi: Seimadouji
- This is the cave north of Kagoshima. You can't use Tenshin here for
some reason.
- After seeing Minami at the end, return to the entrance and you'll
obtain Seimadouji if you have all other summons. It doesn't matter
if you don't have all of them when you trigger the scene at the bottom;
you can still trigger the scene at the entrance if you come back later
(triggers when you try to leave).
 × You will no doubt be disappointed to learn that Seimadouji is the
 worst summon in the game, with a measly base power of 100. I suspect
 it was supposed to be 1000 unless there's something that causes it
 to change. I tried not stealing anything, but that's certainly not it.

Boss: Cyclops					\\\ Onsen Cave ||

[Boss]
- 2720 HP, 5000 Exp, R:M
- This guy hits very hard. They all do at this point.

NPCs: Ihika a, Ihika b				\\\ Some Cave ||
- Afterwards, you'll end up at the small cave south of Abashiri.
- The game says that Ihika b's healing is stronger than Sora's (and
the visual effects would suggest that as well), but this isn't actually
the case. It's possible this is another small error and it was supposed
to be 10 000.

- Good place to level up. You can get 65k in about 20 minutes. I recommend
Lv70.
- The Kogitsunemaru is a rare drop, so it can take quite a while to get
one (I only got two of them on my first save file where I leveled up all
the way to Lv99).
