| Behind every great man is a great woman. Samonosuke is the great        |
| protagonist of Onimusha, and Kaede is his great female assistant. As a  |
| controllable character, her ninja training offers greater quickness and |
| the ability to pick broken locks. When you're not controlling her, you  |
| can count on her to assist you in your quest any way she can. Oh yeah,  |
| she's also not too tough on the eyes. You'll get to control her for the |
| few scenarios that you're not controlling Samonosuke.                   |

| story. She has lived her entire life sheltered by her noble status.     |
| When she finds herself and her family in great danger, she turns to the |
| only person she trusts, Samonosuke. Saving Princess Yuki is the focus   |
| of Samonosuke's quest, and as the intrigue and danger of her situation  |
| escalates, so does Samonosuke's role in the game.                       |

| demon witch doctor has operated on and resurrected him. All it cost him |
| was a promise to serve the demons as their slave. Not too shabby.       |

 | Magic can be used to unlock doors, deal big damage, give you         |
 | breathing room in battles and more. Utilizing this power requires an |
 | Ogre Gauntlet fitted with a Thunder Orb, Fire Orb or Wind Orb. This  |
 | section will cover the different ways magic can be used and how to   |

| This gives you a very quick weapon, which deals a small amount of       |
| damage. It can be leveled up quickly and works great against nearly     |
| every enemy in the game.                                                |

| For strictly dealing damage, the Fire Orb is the weapon to use. Though  |
| slower than the other orbs, its attacks deal around double the Thunder  |
| Orb. When its been leveled up, a magic attack can take out the game's   |
| toughest enemies in just one or two hits as well as helping to cut boss |
| battles nearly in half. The Fire Orb also has a wider attack range than |
| the other weapons, allowing you to keep a little more distance between  |
| you and the enemy.                                                      |

| Although this is the coolest looking weapon of the bunch, it's probably |
| the worst choice for straight up battling. It blends speed and power,   |
| but doesn't have enough of either to make it dangerous. It also has a   |
| small attack range. The Wind Orb should be equipped strictly for its    |
| magic attacks. Once it's been leveled up, it can be a lifesaver in      |
| multiple enemy situations, especially versus ninjas. When you're        |
| surrounded by bad guys, a simple wind attack can give you a healthy     |
| amount of breathing room and possibly kill a few of your attackers in   |
| the process.                                                            |

| You will come across doors fitted with crystals. Some doors will have   |
| one crystal, others two and still others three. Each of your Orbs       |
| begins at level 1, and can be enhanced to level 2 and 3. If a door is   |
| fitted with one wind crystal, you will have to just have the Wind Orb   |
| to unlock it. If a door is fitted with two wind crystals, you will have |
| to have enhanced your Wind Orb to level 2 to unlock it. A door fitted   |
| with three thunder crystals requires your Thunder Orb be at level 3 to  |
| open it.Besides enhancing the Orbs to unlock new doors, you will also   |
| want to enhance them to take advantage of stronger magic attacks. A     |
| level one magic attack will be limited in its range and attack power.   |
| Conversely, level three attacks will cover a larger area and deal much  |
| more damage. The damage a magic attack deals also depends on the level  |
| of the Orb's weapon. See the Enhancing section for more detail on       |
| leveling up your Orbs efficiently.                                      |

| You'll find a few spots in the game where a fire attack can affect the  |
| interactive backgrounds. Where a standard attack can cut through wooden |
| boards and wall scrolls, sometimes you can't get close enough for a     |
| standard attack. The range of the fire attack allows you to damage      |
| out of your standard attack range. Other items need to be set on fire.  |
| items One spot in the game requires you find a way to illuminate an     |
| area. A table full of unlit candles is just waiting for a fire attack.  |
| In other spots magic can be a great way to preserve projectiles like    |
| arrows and bullets. When enemies are above you, either on a ledge or    |
| roof, a wind attack can take care of them without forcing you to use    |
| up ammo. Magic can also be used to regain health and make you           |
| invincible. Absorbing Green Souls will fill up a meter in the top left  |
| corner of the screen. When all of the slots are full, pressing the      |
| White button will release your Gauntlet's magic, which will slowly      |
| raise your health and make you completely invulnerable to enemy         |
| attacks. This effect will last as long as the meter has Green Souls in  |
| it. Absorbing Green Souls during this time period will prolong the      |
| effect.                                                                 |

| Each time you use a magic attack, your magic meter will empty out a     |
| little. If it drops too low, you won't be able to use any magic 'til    |
| you refill it. There are no items in the game that can be used to       |
| refill your magic meter. Instead, you must absorb blue souls to get     |
| more magic. One way to absorb blue souls is to release them from        |
| demons. Killing a demon will release some sort of soul (either yellow,  |
| pink or blue, see the Souls section for more info). When you kill a     |
| demon and see the soul fragments release from them, activate the soul   |
| absorber on your gauntlet and suck them up.The other way to get some    |
| blue souls is to find a Magic Regen Point. At several spots in the      |
| game you will come across a never-ending supply of blue souls. If       |
| your magic meter is less than full, you will see the souls flowing      |
| from the regen point. They'll stop flowing once you've filled up, but   |
| if you use up some magic, it'll start flowing again.                    |
|                                                                         |
| Green Souls are released from enemies when attacked, but unlike         |
| other souls, the enemies can absorb the Green ones to make themselves   |
| stronger. If an enemy is vying for the same Green Soul you are, tap on  |
| the A button rapidly to win the tug of war match.                       |

| at the Magic Mirrors scattered throughout the game. When you access a   |
| Magic Mirror, you'll be given the option to Save or Enhance. If you     |

| Enhancing Orbs is not an option, as you will have to level them up in   |
| order to advance through doors. The key to enhancing Orbs is in when    |
| you do so. Since there is only one door that requires a level three     |
| Wind Orb, and this door appears late in the game, boosting it to level  |
| three as soon as you get it is a great waste of your Experience Souls.  |
| Since thunder crystals are the first to appear in a pair, you'll want   |
| to boost the Thunder Orb to level two before any of the others. A good  |
| rule of thumb is to boost them up in the order you got them. Bring the  |
| Thunder Orb to level two first, then the Fire Orb followed by the Wind  |
| Orb. Then repeat this order when going up to level three. Another way   |
| to figure out when to boost what is to use the walkthrough. Jump ahead  |
| a section and see what levels of Orbs is required to clear the section. |
| This way you know that before you complete the section you're in, you   |
| should level up the required Orbs before doing any other enhancing.     |

| The best way to enhance weapons is to find out which one you're most    |
| comfortable with, and then sink all of your extra Experience Souls into |
| boosting it. Some players will prefer the speed of the Thunder weapon,  |
| while others (including me) like the brute force of the Fire weapon. I  |
| don't recommend using the Wind weapon, as it lacks the speed and power  |
| to be very effective for battling. The Thunder weapon is the first you  |
| will acquire, so you may grow accustomed to it and not want to switch   |
| to the Fire weapon when you get it. Just a few battles with the Fire    |
| weapon, though, and you should be able to tell if it's right for you.   |
| You probably won't have a substantial amount of Experience Souls to     |
| sink into enhancing a weapon until you've acquired the Fire Orb,        |
| anyway. So once you get it, give it a few battles and see which weapon  |
| you'll be using mostly. Any extra Experience Souls you have after       |
| leveling up the required Orbs, put towards leveling up your weapon of   |
| choice. If you're using the Thunder weapon for all of your battles,     |
| it's much better to have it at level three than to have all of your     |
| weapons at level two.                                                   |
|                                                                         |

| An Herb only gives you a little bit of your health back, while an       |
| enhanced Herb becomes a Medicine, and a Medicine refills your health    |
| bar entirely. Since both Herbs and Medicines are limited, you don't     |
| want to waste them. You don't EVER want to consume an Herb if you don't |
| have to, as it can easily be enhanced to a Medicine and provide more    |
| than twice the health refill. If you are very low on health and must    |
| heal, use a Medicine before you use an Herb. If you notice that you     |
| have a few Herbs but no Medicines, find a Magic Mirror and enhance a    |
| few of them so you don't waste them. If you don't have sufficient       |
| Experience Souls to enhance a few, take a little time to battle and     |
| collect some... it's worth it.                                          |

| You aren't going to be using a ton of arrows, so don't start enhancing  |
| them until you've got an overabundance of Experience Souls. Fire Arrows |
| are much more powerful than standard Arrows, and they don't cost a lot  |
| of souls to enhance. So if you find that you're using them, or you're   |
| planning on using them in a boss battle, go ahead and enhance a quiver  |
| full.                                                                   |

| I've found enhancing Bullets to be a waste of souls and Bullets.        |
| Standard Bullets are a powerful weapon against tough enemies and can be |
| very useful in certain boss battles. Enhancing them to Burst Bullets    |
| gives them a wider attack range but lowers they're effectiveness. A     |

 | The key to surviving the harsh world of Onimusha Warlords lies in    |
 | the collecting of souls. At the game's onset, you'll be without a    |
 | means of absorbing them. You find that in this state, you're just no |
 | match for the demons lurking about. A clan of Ogres with their own   |
 | agenda deems you worthy of their magic gauntlet, and thus you are    |
 | granted the ability to absorb souls. This section will cover what    |
 | exactly souls do and how to use them effectively.                    |

| Souls are release from demons upon their demise. As the demon corpse    |
| falls to the ground, fragments of their tormented souls rise from their |
| carcass. Your job is to suck them into your gauntlet before they drift  |

| Vitality Souls serve to keep you alive. Absorbing one of these will     |
| boost your health meter and help you live to fight another day.         |

| What Vitality Souls are to your health meter, Magic Souls are to your   |
| magic meter. Each time you use magic based attacks your meter will      |
| drop. Absorbing Magic Souls is the only way to get it full again.       |
| Aside from being released from demons, there are Magic Regen Points     |
| in several locations where these flow in never-ending supply.           |

| In order to advance through Onimusha's quest, you'll need to enhance    |
| your Magic Orbs. The only way to do this is to find a Magic Mirror and  |
| use experience points to boost them. The only way to accumulate         |
| experience points is to absorb Pink Souls. See the Enhancing Section    |
| for more detail. Aside from being released from demons, there are a     |
| few locations in the game where you can absorb Pink Souls from          |
| gauntlets that are on display.                                          |

| These can be released from enemies when they're attacked, or, if        |
| you're carrying some, released from you when you're attacked. Green     |
| Souls will be very important in your quest, as using them gives you a   |
| window of invincibility to attack with complete disregard for defense.  |
| Your health meter will also refill during this time. See the Magic      |
| section for more information.                                           |

| This has a higher defensive rating than the Normal Armor and Ninja      |
| Suit, but it lacks the ability to fend off hungry Gyaran.               |

| -- Shinobi Kit --                                                       |
| Only Kaede can use this item to unlock doors with broken locks.         |

| -- Normal Sword --                                                      |
| You'll begin the game equipped with this item. It's very weak, but you  |
| won't be fighting with it for very long.                                |
|                                                                         |

| -- Thunder Orb --                                                       |
| Your first taste of magic will be by way of the Thunder Orb. This       |
| sword is very quick, as is its magic attack.                            |
|                                                                         |

| -- Fire Orb --                                                          |
| This is the most powerful of the hand-to-hand weapons, and also the     |
| slowest. Players should pick either this weapon or the Thunder Orb      |
| to battle with, depending on whether they favor speed or strength.      |
|                                                                         |

| -- Wind Orb --                                                          |
| This is the coolest looking weapon, but ultimately mediocre. It's a     |
| mix of the power of the Fire Orb and the speed of the Thunder Orb,      |
| but a watered down version of both. Its magic spell is fantastic,       |
| however, for taking out enemies around and above you.                   |
|                                                                         |

| -- Bishamon Sword --                                                    |
| The ultimate weapon of destruction, the Bishamon Sword is only          |
| available once you've reached (and are locked in) the Demon World...    |
| or is it? Check the Secrets section to find out how you can get         |
| yourself equipped with this sword at the beginning of the game. This    |
| weapon is by far the most powerful, killing off nearly every type of    |
| demon in one shot. It also unlocks all three types of crystal doors     |
| and uses no magic for its magic attacks.                                |
|                                                                         |

|                                                                         |
| -- Bow and Arrow --                                                     |
| This is great weapon for picking off low-level demons on                |
| higher levels than you. You can also enhance Normal Arrows              |
| to make them Fire Arrows, which are more powerful and can               |
| be a great weapon in late boss battles.                                 |
|                                                                         |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                         |
| -- Matchlock and Bullets --                                             |
| This ancient rifle packs quite a punch. When enhanced, Bullets become   |
| Blast Bullets and fire like shotgun shells, covering a wide range.      |
| Though the blade is a samurai's weapon of choice, the Matchlock         |
| shouldn't be kept holstered during tough boss battles.                  |
|                                                                         |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                         |
| -- Soul Absorber --                                                     |
| Though technically an item, the Soul Absorber can be one of the best    |
| weapons around. Throw this item down and it emits a blue ring. Anything |
| that steps within this ring can be absorbed without fighting them.      |

| -- Sacred Knife --                                                      |
| This is the same as the Normal knife, just much more powerful.          |

|                                                                        |
| -- Basic Attacks --                                                    |
| Both Samonosuke's and Kaede's standard attacks are a swipe with        |
| their blade. Tap the attack button and you'll string four              |
| of these swipes together. The first two attacks go side to side,       |
| the last two from top to bottom, bottom to top. This is important      |
| to keep in mind, as some enemies like Gyaran hover above the           |
| ground and force you to use the third and fourth attacks in a          |
| sequence to hit them. The first and second one's go below them.        |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| -- Kicks --                                                            |
| Both characters can also drop weaker opponents with a swift kick       |
| to the mid-section. When in range, press down and attack and           |
| watch your enemy drop.                                                 |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| -- Deathblow --                                                        |
| Move Samonosuke right above an enemy who's floored and press           |
| attack. He'll plunge his sword into the demon and kill him with        |
| one shot. Stronger beasts may get up after a sword plunge, but         |
| they won't have much health left.                                      |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| -- Quick Attack --                                                     |
| Using Samonosuke, hold down R1 and move just out of attack range       |
| from a demon. Press up and attack at the same time (while still        |
| holding R1) and you'll lunge forward and stab the enemy.               |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| -- Sneak-Attack --                                                     |
| Again using Samonosuke, hold R1 but this time move                     |
| close to the opponent. Pressing up and attack now will make him        |
| slash the demon from the floor up to his head.                         |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| -- Blood Necklace --                                                   |
| When controlling Kaede, engage a demon in a battle. When in close      |
| range press up and attack. She will do a flip with a twist,            |
| putting her behind the enemy and facing his back. If the enemy         |
| hasn't turned with her, she'll flip her knife and slit his throat      |
| in a very slick animation.                                             |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| -- Getting Un-Caught --                                                |
| Long-Arm Demons will be the first enemy that can grab you with a       |
| fist and pick you up. They will not be the last. Any time you          |
| find yourself in this situation tap on the attack button while         |
| pressing up and down on the D-pad as quickly as possible.              |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| -- Locking Blades --                                                   |
| Occasionally you'll lock blades with a high level demon (like an       |
| Oowassha or Dark Armor Demon). Tap the attack button while             |
| pressing up, down on the D-pad. If you do it quick enough, you'll      |
| toss the enemy over your shoulder and have a chance to drop a          |
| sword in him while he's on the ground. If you're a little slower,      |
| you'll end up causing a draw, where you'll unlock blades and both      |
| take a step back. If you're really slow, or don't use this             |
| technique, the enemy will be the one knocking you on the ground.       |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| -- Active Projectile Blocking --                                       |
| Believe it or not, you can actually block projectiles like kunai       |
| and arrows by slashing them with your blade. The timing is tough       |
| to get down, but if you have something flying at your head and         |
| have to react quickly, try hitting the attack button. You may be       |
| able to slap it away.                                                  |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| -- Power Slashes --                                                    |
| When using a sword, Samonosuke can power up the blade to do more       |
| damage and have added effects. Press and hole the X button and         |
| watch as the sword powers up three times. After the third power        |
| up, hitting an enemy and who has absorbed a Green Soul will knock      |
| the Green Soul loose and turn the enemy back to normal.                |

Make sure that your Thunder Orb is equipped and try to go through 
door 2.

Cut-scene

Go through the door. This area is full of enemies, but you don't 
have to fight them if you don't want to. The South Area Map is in 
a partially hidden box here, too. Cut down one of the standing 
wooden boards to reveal it. When you're done here, go through door 3 
opposite from where you entered.

This large area has four doors. You just came through the first 
door [3]. The second is to your right [11], but it is sealed for now. The 
third [10] is directly opposite from where you entered and is sealed 
by a Fire Seal. The fourth is just to the left of the Fire Seal 
door. Go through this door [4].

There is another door [5] straight ahead and a 
hole in the wall on your left. Go through the door for now.

*****************
*** WEST AREA ***
*****************

(will provide map later when you fully explore the West Area)

If you can kill all of the enemies here before they kill the 
soldier, he'll give you a Magic Jewel as a thank you. Go through 
this area and through the door at the end. Continuing along the 
path you will come to a door sealed by Fire Seals. Go past it and 
keep looking to the left for a well. When you spot it, go down 
into it. **THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN RETURN LATER TO CHECK OUT THE DARK 
REALM MINI-GAME** Find the box in the bottom of the well and take 
the Rope Ladder from it. Return to the South Area.

*************************
*** BACK TO THE SOUTH ***
*************************

Go over to the hole in the wall. Go into your inventory and use 
the Rope Ladder. Now climb down the Rope Ladder. Go into the cave 
to find a Magic Mirror and the second Puzzle Treasure Box.

Puzzle Treasure Box #2: 
Which is the equipment that was created by the clan of ogres in 
order to defeat the demons?

Book:             Suzaka

After doing your business here, go inside the large door next 
to the Magic Mirror [6].

---> Boss Battle: Osric <---
Osric has four types of attacks. 
1. Double Swing: he swings his club like a tennis racket on his 
forehand, and then follows with a backhand.
2. Ground Smash: he swings his club straight down, trying to 
smash you into the ground.
3. Charge: he runs straight at you trying to drive you into a 
wall.
4. Uppercut: he swings his club from low to high, trying to 
knock your head off.Face him and allow him to approach you. 
Just like the Mini-Bosses before, he'll start to move his 
weapon just as he's about to attack. Again, jump back when he 
does this. If he attacks with a Ground Smash or an Uppercut, 
you can move right in and take a few slashes at him after the 
swing. If he uses a forehand swing, wait 'til he follows with 
the backhand before you move in and cut him up. This is a good 
time to use your lightning attack, too. After you slash him up 
a bit he'll get angry and raise his arms. This is your cue to 
get some distance, as he's about to use a Charge. As soon as 
he begins a Charge, run either left or right to avoid it, or 
face him, hold R1 and strafe left or right (see the Battling 
section for more details). He'll Charge a few times, then get 
tired and open himself up to an attack. Take this opportunity 
to do some damage and collect some soul pieces, and then begin 
the cycle over again. Repeat these steps 'til he's dead.

When Osric falls to his death, he'll knock open a secret hallway.

Go into it and pick up the Journal #2 immediately on your left. 
Continue ahead through the door [7].

Walk forward, break the vases and pick up the Fluorite from 
behind them. Continue ahead through the hall of skeletons and 
through the door [8].

Cut-scene

Mini-Boss Battle: Reynaldo
Reynaldo can be a tough cookie if you don't fight aggressively. 
What you need to do is immediately get in his face and knock him 
down, either with several slashes or with a kick. Once he's down, 
get over him and plunge your sword into him. He'll split into two 
pieces and reform into two Reynaldo. Continue attacking them 
vigorously and using the Sword Plunge when you knock them down. 
Each Renaldo will split at least one more time before it dies so 
don't stop attacking.

After defeating Reynaldo, walk up to the stone alter. You won't 
be able to read what's inscribed in it, but grab the Fire Orb just 
to the left of it. Leave the room the same way you came in. Move 
through the hall of skeletons, through both stone halls and back 
into the room where you fought Osric.

There will be a few Gyaran here now. As you enter the room Osric 
will release his soul fragments and the Gyaran will suck them up. 
What you have to do is take them out one at a time. When one dies, 
they'll transfer their soul to another one. Upon defeating the 
last one, it will unleash a mass of soul pieces it's gathered for 
you to collect. Move over to the door with the Flame Crystal [9]. 
You'll use your gauntlet to unlock the door and return to the 
hallway with the Save Point.

Turn left at the save point and continue through the hall to 
leave the tomb. Go back up by way of the Rope Ladder.

Go back through the door to the right. The door just ahead on your left 
has a Fire Seal on it. Now that you have the Flame Orb, you can 
unlock this door [10]. Do so, and go through it.

Cut-scene

This room you're in has four doors:
1. You just entered through
2. Immediately on your left
3. Directly in front of you
4. Ahead and on the left

First thing you need to do is enhance your Thunder Orb to level 2, 
if you haven't done this already. Go through door 4 and access the 
Magic Mirror. Use all of your souls to power up the Thunder Orb. 
If you don't have enough souls, walk around for a while battling 
enemies and collecting pink souls 'til you can get the Thunder Orb 
to level 2.

After you've powered up your orb, go through door 2 and continue 
ahead and through door 5. Continue through this room and through 
door 6. Take the R. Crest Piece from inside the box and return to 
the room you originally entered the Keep in.

You can go through door 4 to use the Magic Mirror, blue souls well 
(to refill your magic) and see where the other entrance to the Dark 
Realm is. Go through door 3 when you're ready.

Cut-scene

Don't worry about door 7 for now, you'll be in that room later. 
Go through door 8, through door 9, and then continue through the 
hallway.

Cut-scene

Continue through the hallway and go through door 11. Door 12 can 
be hidden from view, depending on where you're standing. Go 
through it and access the Trick Treasure Box.

Solution:
Right

Behind door 1 on your right is a pail hanging from a rope. Grab 
the Power Jewel from inside of it and leave the room.

You can ignore door 2 for now and go through door 3. Make your

through door 5. You can smash the crates to reveal a hidden box, 
and then go up the stairs.

Activate the lever right in front of Samonosuke.

Go up to the two lever group and activate the one on the right.

Now activate the lever on the left.

Move over to the three lever group and activate the one on the left.

You can now open the two treasure boxes and snatch the booty.

Go to the three lever group and activate the one on the right.

Go to the last lever, right next to the door and activate it.

Go through the door.

Use the Blue Soul Well here to restore your magic. Equip the 
Fire Orb and use a shot of fire to light the candles in the 
middle of the room. This will unlock the door. Refill your 
magic again and go through the door [3].

Here you will come across a floor puzzle. The idea is to step 
on the tiles in an order that allows you to cross the room 
and step on the tile with a Circle on it. Samonosuke and 
Kaede will take alternating turns moving. Follow along with 
the diagrams below, stepping on the tiles in the order 
they're listed. After stepping on them in order you will be 
able to step on the tile with the circle in it and end the 
puzzle. The puzzle itself only comes in four flavors, so 
choose A, B, C or D, depending on what your floor looks like, 
and follow along.

=========================
:::::::: BOSSES
=========================

=====
Osric
===== 

Osric has four types of attacks. 

1. Double Swing: he swings his club like a tennis racket 
on his forehand, and then follows with a backhand.

2. Ground Smash: he swings his club straight down, trying 
to smash you into the ground.

3. Charge: he runs straight at you trying to drive you 
into a wall.

4. Uppercut: he swings his club from low to high, trying 
to knock your head off.

Face him and allow him to approach you. Just like the 
Mini-Bosses before, he'll start to move his weapon just 
as he's about to attack. Again, jump back when he does 
this. If he attacks with a Ground Smash or an Uppercut, 
you can move right in and take a few slashes at him after 
the swing. If he uses a forehand swing, wait 'til he 
follows with the backhand before you move in and cut him 
up. This is a good time to use your lightning attack, too. 
After you slash him up a bit he'll get angry and raise his 
arms. This is your cue to get some distance, as he's about 
to use a Charge. As soon as he begins a Charge, run either 
left or right to avoid it, or face him, hold the L trigger 
and strafe left or right (see the Battling section for more 
details). He'll Charge a few times, then get tired and open 
himself up to an attack. Take this opportunity to do some 
damage and collect some soul pieces, and then begin the 
cycle over again. Repeat these steps 'til he's dead.


===================
Prototype Marcellus
=================== 

Prototype Marcellus is very powerful and has a long reach. 
If he corners you at the edge of the roof, he can do a lot 
of damage very quickly. The key to this battle is to keep 
your distance from him. As with previous bosses, you will 
adhere to a stick and move pattern. When he's attacking or 
when you're absorbing soul pieces, keep your distance. The 
difference here is in the amount of distance you'll need to 
keep. This boss has a very long reach and a magic based 
attack that will extend his range more than twice as far 
as previous bosses. He'll also occasionally double up an 
attack, with a forward sword thrust followed by another 
forward attack with his shield. The good thing is that the 
roof is definitely large enough for you to keep a safe 
distance from him. When he starts getting close, if you're 
not ready to attack, run either directly past one of his 
sides or circle around him keeping out of his striking range. 
If you try to circle him but stay within his range, he'll most 
likely hit you with a 360-sword swing.

Your attack pattern will be the same as it has been against 
previous bosses. You'll slash him a few times immediately 
after he finishes one of his attacks. The difference with 
this boss is that you will not have to bait him into 
attacking you. He will continually advance and attack, no 
matter how far he is from you. What type of attack he does 
will determine how quickly he moves towards you.

You should also keep in mind that attacks from either side 
or to his back will do more damage than attacks from the 
front. He carries a shield that will take most or all of 
the damage from front attacks, but if you hit it enough, 
the shield will break and you'll be able to deal a good 
deal of damage from any angle.

Also, don't be shy about using magic. You've got two 
weapons, so switch to the one you're not using for battle 
and blast off a few magic attacks with it, and then switch 
back to your battle weapon.


=========
Volchiman
========= 

First rule of this battle is to watch your health. Volchiman 
can take off a good chunk of health each time he attacks. 
Don't be afraid to use a Medicine if you're dangerously low. 
Use straightforward attacks against him. After a few hits 
he'll disappear. Watch the floor to see where he's moving, 
then move over to that spot and attack him as he reappears. 
You'll kill him after about 6 successful attacks.


=======
Stylado
======= 

This is actually a relatively easy battle. Keep close to the 
Stylado and attack relentlessly. He will block most of your 
attacks, but if you stagger them, you'll catch him with his 
guard down. That's really all there is to it. Use magic if 
you've got it. Heal if you need to.


======
Hecuba
====== 

I hope you've enhanced and saved a few Burst Bullets, Fire 
Arrows and Medicines; you're going to need them. This battle 
can actually be won without them, but it's a lot easier with 
them. If you've got a full magic gauge, use a wind attack on 
Hecuba. She'll fall down to your level and give you a few 
seconds to smack her. Switch to the Fire Orb and hit her with 
a flame attack (or thunder if you have no flame magic). Then 
take out all of the Sharks on the floor. Get some distance 
between you and Hecuba (as much as you can). Then equip the 
Matchlock and fire off a few Burst Bullets into her (or the 
Bow and Fire Arrows). A few more scorpions should be up on 
the platform by now, so repeat the process. If you don't have 
any magic from the get go, or you run out, just stick with the 
Shark sweep and Burst Bullet strategy.

Also keep in mind that as long as you are facing her, you can 
block all of her attacks. When she is about to attack, she'll 
utter some weird phrase, so listen for it and hit the L1 button.


=========
Marcellus
========= 

You fought Marcellus' younger brother back towards the 
beginning of the game. Get ready for a similar battle, just 
on a smaller platform and against a much tougher opponent. 
Despite his less than badass name, Marcellus is quite tough. 
He has a number of forward thrusting attacks as well as a 
shockwave type magic attack. Most of these attacks are 
blockable, but it's awfully difficult to tell if he's about 
to use a blockable attack or an unblockable as well as 
reacting to it. Like his prototype, he also sports a shield. 
Again, if it takes too much damage, it will break and 
dissipate.

Now, however, when Marcellus loses his shield he'll produce a 
second sword in his empty hand. He also starts employing a 
stick and move strategy where he flies in very quickly for an 
attack then moves far away. 

This strategy is delicate, and you may need to fight him a 
few times before you perfect it and can move on. Also keep in 
mind that Marcellus is not your final boss battle, but you need 
only keep about 3-5 Medicines for the final boss, Fortinbras. 
If you've got a Talisman or two, you may not even need that 
many. You also won't need to hold onto any Bullets or Arrows 
for Fortinbras, so go ahead and use them and any extra 
Medicines during this battle if you need to. Furthermore, a 
Magic Regen Point is just ahead as well as a Medicine in this 
room and two more a little bit ahead. If you've got two 
Talismans, you can use up all of your Medicine in this battle 
if you need to and still go up against Fortinbras with three 
Medicines and two Talismans.

In Marcellus' initial form, the name of the game is keeping 
him in the center of the ring. You may notice a box on the 
outside of the ring, but if you try to get it and get caught, 
Marcellus can corner you and take you out quickly. Just leave 
it alone 'til the battle's over. If you keep circling Marcellus 
non-stop, he'll continuously turn in the center, never getting 
a chance to move towards you. When he attacks and leaves his 
back open to you, hit R1 to target him and move in for a magic 
based attack. Quickly jump back and start circling again. 

Once his shield dissipates he'll stop allowing you to circle 
him. As he is forming his second sword, he appears vulnerable. 
But if you move in and attack you won't do any damage. Allow 
him to form his sword and get ready to equip your Bow or 
Matchlock if you have any ammo for either. Marcellus will 
either move in and attack or move away from you. If he moves 
away, equip the Bow or Matchlock and start firing. But be 
ready to change back to a sword quickly. As soon as you see 
him moving towards you (he does so very quickly) equip a 
sword and block with L1. If you've got any magic left, hit 
him with it. If not just slash him with your sword. Repeat 
this strategy and keep an eye on your health.

If this strategy is employed correctly, you shouldn't need to 
use any more than one or two Medicines (I've gone through 
without using any). If you've used up everything and you don't 
have any Talismans, you'll be taking on the final boss with 
only three Medicines. This could be tough on a beginner, so 
you may want to try this battle again 'til you get better 
results. At the very least, save to a separate file when you 
get to the Save Point just ahead.


==========
Fortinbras
========== 

This is it, the final showdown with the King of all demons. 
And Fortinbras doesn't disappoint. He has a slew of powerful 
and varied attacks, as well as a brute force move in which 
he picks you up and crushes you to death in just a few seconds. 
So how are you going to beat him? First you have to learn what 
he does.

Arm Sweep
Fortinbras reaches back and sweeps across his body with his 
arm. If you're in the middle of the arena the wind from the 
sweep will knock you back and he'll follow it up with a Demon 
Jab. If you're at the rear of the arena this attack won't 
affect you.

Grab of Death
This looks just like the Arm Sweep, only he grabs you, doing 
just a little bit of damage. Once he's got you in his grip, 
though, he'll start the Squeeze Attack.

Squeeze Attack
After you've been picked up by Fortinbras, he'll stare deep 
into your eyes and give you a great big hug. The only problem 
is that a hug from this guy will kill you in a matter of 
seconds.

Demon Jab
Usually after an Arm Sweep, Fortinbras will throw a quick jab 
at you. He barely telegraphs this move, so it's very difficult 
to react to.

Electro Clouds
He'll toss out a handful of pink clouds that will settle over 
a section of the floor. After setting up shop, these clouds 
will rain down an electric bolt for a few seconds.

Laser Shot
Fortinbras will fold his arms as if he's about to utter a deep 
thought. The only thing coming from him, however, is a quick 
laser blast that starts just in front of where you're standing 
and then moves through you to the back of the room.

Fire Breath
It's a well-known fact that demons never floss. Apparently 
centuries of poor dental hygiene has resulted in a deadly 
attack for Fortinbras. He'll pull his head back, then thrust 
it forward while he releases a steady stream of fire. He'll 
then slowly move his head back and forth, moving the flame 
across the floor.

The next step to defeating him is learning how to avoid or 
block these attacks:

Arm Sweep
Blockable
As I've said, this looks just like the Grab of Death, which 
cannot be blocked, so the best way to get by this attack is 
to be at the back of the arena.

Grab of Death
Unblockable
Again, being at the back of the arena is the safest bet.

Squeeze Attack
Unblockable
Should Fortinbras begin this attack, that means he's already 
caught you in the Grab of Death, so there's really no way to 
avoid this attack. What you can do to get out of it, however, 
is pound on the attack button and press up, down repeatedly 
as fast as you can. A flash of light will hit Fortinbras and 
he'll drop you.

Demon Jab
Blockable
This is somewhat easy to block, as it almost always comes 
after an Arm Sweep. If an Arm Sweep pushes you back, 
immediately hold L1 to block a Demon Jab, should it follow.

Electro Clouds
Unblockable
This is the simplest attack to avoid. The clouds display a 
pink shadow on the floor, letting you know exactly where 
they're going to rain electricity. Just go to a part of the 
floor where there are no shadows.

Laser Shot
Unblockable
When you see the Demon turn to his side and pull his arms up, 
he's about to hit you with this attack. Quickly hold R1 and 
jump to the left or right to avoid the Laser Shot. He can 
blast these in groups, so be prepared to dodge more than one.

Fire Breath
Unblockable
He'll telegraph this attack by pulling his head back before 
he lets out some fire. Get to the back of the arena when he 
does this and near the middle (lined up with Fortinbras' 
head). When he starts to let out a little fire, run to either 
back corner of the arena and stay there 'til he's done.

Now that we know his attacks and what to do about them, let's 
come up with an attack plan of our own.

Stage 1
Magic
Get right up in his face and unload Thunder and Wind spells. 
When you knock him off balance and his head drops, equip 
the Fire Orb and hit him with a magic spell from it. Always 
keep a look out for the Grab of Death.

Stage 2
Projectiles
After you've expelled all of your magic, get to the back of 
the arena and start firing Arrows and Bullets. Use up 
everything you've got, this is the final boss.

Stage 3
Finish Him
Depending on how many projectiles you had, Fortinbras should 
be somewhere near his great demise. You've got no choice but 
to run up and slash him with your sword. You should be able 
to get a general rhythm from him by this point, so run in when 
you think he's not going to attack or when Electro Clouds are 
floating in another part of the arena and attack. Continue 
avoiding and/or blocking his attacks and hitting him with 
magic if you can suck up enough soul fragments to mount 
another spell attack.

He'll follow you around, clap when you kill enemies, do tricks, 
dance and more. But if you're near an item, he'll sniff it out, 
go over to it and keep trying to get your attention to you can 
find it. This works great when you're looking for all of the 
Fluorites, since you can't see them, but Lorenzo can sniff them 
out for you.

These are some of the most helpful items in the game, and though 
they are not necessary to complete your quest, you will want to 
take the time to find them. Here are there locations.

Power Jewels

1. Puzzle Box #1 in the South Area
2. Puzzle Box #2 in the South Area
3. Inside of a pail in the Keep

Magic Jewels

1. West Area, when you first enter the area there will be a 
soldier being attacked by Soldier Demons. If you can kill 
all of them before they kill him, he will thank you with a 
Magic Jewel.

2. South Area, after fighting Osric and getting the Fire Orb, 
immediately after you climb the Rope Ladder back up you will 
see a soldier being attacked by Soldier Demons. If you can kill 
all of them before they kill him, he will thank you with a 
Magic Jewel.

     ======================================================

I know this puzzle can be tough, and I've got the email to prove 
it, so I've set up this little section here just for the solution 
to this puzzle. There are obviously a number of different ways to 
go about solving this puzzle, but this is the fastest way I've 
found. If you have a solution with less moves, by all means, send 
it in to savior@gameshark.com.

Of course, the easiest way to show you the solution is with a motion 
capture of the solution being carried out. You can see that by 
downloading the Shockwave movie from 

http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/05f.html

(scroll down the page a little) You'll need the Macromedia Shockwave 
Player to view the movie (it's a free download at 
http://www.macromedia.com)

If you're not interested in that, I'll attempt to show you the 
solution in text format. Hope this works.

=======================
DARK REALM MINI-GAME
======================

=============
Keep Entrance
=============

Get ready for 20 levels of demon mayhem. The Dark Realm is a 
brutal place for beginners, so it's recommended that all of 
your weapons are fully enhanced and you're packing at least 
3-5 Medicines before you go in. Also save your game before 
you enter, as it may take you a few tries to get through. A 
killer item, the Bishamon Ocarina, awaits you on the final 
level. It is well worth your effort. There are also a bunch 
of items along the way, including a Medicine, three Herbs, a 
Soul Absorber, a Talisman and three chunks of Fluorite. If 
you're trying to collect all of the Fluorite, you'll have to 
pass through here. 

Level 1 
Soldier Demons
Hack and slash, hack and slash. No real strategy is needed, 
as these are the lowest of the low, Soldier Demons.

Level 2 
Three-Eyes
You should be used to their attack patterns and speed by now. 
This should be another simple level for you. No magic needed.

Level 3 
Soldier Demons
Long-Arm Demons
Quickly take out the Soldier Demons before they can annoy you. 
You should be able to take out the Long-Arm Demons without 
using any magic.

Level 4 
Long-Arm Demons 
Again, these guys aren't a big deal. Slash 'em up and block 
when you need to. No magic needed.

Level 5 
Long-Arm Demons
Three-Eyes 
This can be an annoying bunch. Throw a wind magic spell in 
the midst of the action to clear out a few demons, and then 
beat on the rest with your sword.

Level 6 
Bazuus
Please, you've got to be kidding me. These guys are a push 
over. Just watch out for when they spin as they appear and 
you'll be fine.

Level 7 
Sharks
Restrain yourself from using a sword thrust when they're 
on the ground. If you stop to kill one, the others will hit 
you from behind. Just keep a steady flow of sword sweeps 
going and you'll be fine.

Level 8 
Bazuus
Gyaran 
This is another simple level if you equip the Holy Armor. 
The Gyaran won't bug you so you just have to take out the 
Bazuus. Once they're all gone, go around and pick on the 
Gyaran.

Level 9 
Barabazuus
Bazuus 
Experienced fighters shouldn't need to use up any magic 
here, but a novice can get their head handed to them 
mighty quickly by the Barabazuus. You have to be ready 
to move when you see them attacking, and get at the 
Bazuus as soon as they form.

Level 10 
Oowasshas
Gyaran 
Here's where you should be using magic, but not before 
you equip the Holy Armor again. This will let you ignore 
the Gyaran and focus on kicking the crap out of the 
Oowasshas. Don't even give them a chance to attack. Hit 
them early and keep it up.

Level 11 
Reynaldos
This is another enemy you should be used to dealing with 
in bunches. When you see one planting his arm in the 
ground, be ready to move. If he grabs you he'll do damage 
and open you up to an attack from another Reynaldo. Again, 
experienced battlers won't need magic, but a novice may.

Level 12 
Reynaldos
Gyaran 
This will be the same as the previous level if you equip 
the Holy Armor. 

Level 13 
Reynaldos
Sharks
Whatever you do, don't get caught by the Reynaldos. Also, 
don't use the sword plunge on anyone. Wind attacks work 
great, as do fire attacks, as they can both do damage to 
multiple enemies.

Level 14 
Volchiman
A thunder attack is the best way to take these guys out. 
It's quick and simple, and once the attack starts, it 
won't miss and they can't disappear. Just target them 
and beat the hell out of 'em.

Level 15 
Reynaldos
Volchiman
Thunder spells can take out the Volchiman, but it'll 
leave you open to the Reynaldos. Using Wind Orbs on the 
Reynaldos forces you to take your eye off of the 
Volchiman. Get out your Fire Orb and use a spell when 
you get a few demons close together. Start swinging 
your sword the rest of the time. And keep a close eye 
on your health. You're very close to the end, so using 
a Medicine isn't a bad thing.

Level 16 
Dark Spiders 
These guys can be frustrating, as they dodge most of 
your attacks and jump over you from one side to the 
other. The best strategy is to use a wind attack when 
there are a bunch of them swarming you and a thunder 
attack when you've just got a few of them left.

Level 17 
Long-Arm Demons
Dark Armor Demons 
Get your Fire Orb equipped and start slashin'. Its 
wide attack range will allow you to hit several demons 
at the same time. You shouldn't have to use any magic, 
but you may need a Medicine. That's okay, though, as 
it'll be better to have magic on the last three levels 
than a bunch of Medicines.

Level 18 
Volchiman
Dark Spiders
Wow, this is a deadly combination. Magic use is a must 
here. Wind is the best, but you may not have any left. 
If not, try to hit a group with a fire or go one-on-one 
with the thunder 'til they're all dead.

Level 19 
Dark Spiders
Dark Armor Demons
Back away from the Dark Armor Demons and try to take 
out all of the Dark Spiders quickly. If you can, take 
out the Matchlock and use a few Blast Bullets. They 
should hit both Dark Armor Demons and maybe even a 
Dark Spider or two. Try to conserve any magic you have 
and use Medicines to get through this.

Level 20 
Volchiman
Oowasshas 
Hopefully you've saved a bit of magic. This is the 
time to use it, all of it. Once you've drained 
yourself, take out the Matchlock and use up your Burst 
Bullets. When they're done, slash with your Fire Orb 
and use Medicines when necessary. Don't forget to grab 
the Bishamon Ocarina from the box before you leave, 
that's what you came here for.

     :::::::::::::::: ONI-SPIRITS MINI-GAME :::::::::::::::
     ======================================================

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

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

http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

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
Download a movie of savior clearing this level from:
http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

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
Download a movie of savior clearing this level from:
http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

With the Fire Orb equipped, hold R1 and tap the magic button. 
You'll knock the first Long-Arm Demon down. Keep R1 held down 
and start tapping attack. You'll move up to and kill the Gyaran. 
Immediately turn to the second Long-Arm Demon and hit him with a 
fire attack, knocking him down. Turn back to the first Long-Arm 
Demon and run up and attack him. Turn back to the second one, 
who should be getting up now and approach him and attack. 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 

Demon Soldier x2
Hard
Download a movie of savior clearing this level from:
http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

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
Download a movie of savior clearing this level from:
http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

With the Fire Orb equipped, hold R1 and hit the magic button, 
flooring one of the Long-Arm Demons. Target the other one and 
hit him with fire magic, too. DO NOT APPROACH THE DEMONS, as 
this could make the Gyaran move towards you, smashing vases in 
his path. Instead, hang back and equip the Matchlock and Normal 
Bullets. As the first Long-Arm Demon stands up, target and shoot 
him. Do the same to the second. Now equip the Fire Orb and go 
after the Gyaran. 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
Download a movie of savior clearing this level from:
http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

Equip the Wind Orb and move ahead just to the right of the very 
first vase. Use wind magic to take out the first Bazuu along with 
a bunch of vases. Keep an eye on the other Bazuu as you do this, 
taking note if any of them ball up and start spinning. If they do, 
hold L1 as soon as your wind attack is done to block their ball. 
Equip the Fire Orb and start 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 Holy Armor at 
the top center and the Burst Bullets in the very middle.

-----

Level 9 

Gyaran x2
Barabazuu x1
Download a movie of savior clearing this level from:
http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

Equip the Wind Orb, move straight ahead a step and use a wind 
attack, taking out a bunch of vases. Move straight forward again 
until you come up to more vases and use another wind attack. Equip 
the Fire Orb, take a few more steps forward and launch a fire 
attack without pressing the R1 button. You'll throw fire at the 
Barabazuu and knock him down. Move in for the kill. You may have 
to use two sword thrusts on him. The Gyaran on the right will 
most likely have disappeared by now, leaving only the one on 
the left. Take the Burst Bullets from the box in the top right, 
kill the last Gyaran and smash the rest of the vases.

-----

Level 10 

Long-Arm Demon x1
Three-Eye x2
Very Hard
Download a movie of savior clearing this level from:
http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

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 Fire Orb and launch a fire attack right where you're 
standing, without pressing R1. This will floor the Long-Arm Demon 
and a few vases in the middle. Stay where you are and equip the 
Matchlock and Normal Bullets. As soon as he gets up, blast him 
with the Matchlock, which will kill him. Equip a sword 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. 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, and killing him when he does. Smash the last vase in the 
bottom left.

-----

Level 11 

Three-Eye x2
Long-Arm Demon x1
Very Hard
Download a movie of savior clearing this level from:
http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

Equip the Wind Orb, move a few steps forward and to the right and 
launch a wind attack. Now move forward and to the left, getting 
Samonosuke aligned with the Long-Arm Demon and launch a second 
wind attack. Switch to the Fire Orb and hit the Long-Arm Demon 
with a fire attack. If either of the Three-Eyes are still alive, 
go back and slash them. Then come back to the Long-Arm Demon and 
finish him off. Absorb the souls and smash all of the vases.

-----

Level 12 

Barabazuu x2
Bazuu x1
Very Hard
Download a movie of savior clearing this level from:
http://media.gameshark.com/static/guides/ps2/onimusha/06c.html

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. Keep R1 held to target the first one and 
hit him with another fire attack. You should be out of fire magic, 
so equip the Wind Orb. Go over to the second Barabazuu and hit him 
with a wind attack. This should kill him. If you've got enough wind 
magic left, hit the other one with it and kill him. If not, equip 
the Matchlock and Burst Bullets. Hold R1 and start firing at him 
'til he's dead. Then just keep R1 held down and firing the Matchlock 
to take out the Bazuu. DO NOT USE THE THUNDER ORB, as it will take 
too long for a magic attack and the enemy will break too many vases 
while you're performing it.
