Onimusha 2 Walkthrough for PlayStation 2 Game Name: Onimusha 2 Format: PlayStation 2 Submitted By: Drazen Act 1: Jubei's Village Go past the save point towards the village. When you reach the pond, skip over the stones and into the cave. Eventually you'll meet a strange lady and receive your first Oni stone. Leave via the cave, head back to where the game began and enter the broken door. Scour the house to find the abacus, fork, tea set, kaleidoscope and both halves of the Four Gods dragon map (Hint: Slash a hanging map to get one and search the box in the pagoda near the garden to get another). Return to the dragon shine and claim the lightning sword. After a short cut-scene you'll arrive in the village. After the Oyu event, explore the village and talk to everyone; the man next to the kimono lady yields some confetti, the bloke with the backpack a scroll. Head up the steps to the stables to find the tengu mask (Hint: Hidden in a barely-visible box by the log pile). Head to the ironsmith, smash the wooden barrels and pull the lever to activate the lift. Run quickly past the smashed barrels to claim the bow and arrows in a chest. Head to the North of the town, onto the mountain road, killing all the enemies to claim their money. Talk to the man guarding the entrance of the cave, then return to the town and the Wine House. After Magoichi and Ekei fight, you get the item trading scroll. Buy the Mountain Entrance Permit for 100 gold from the man at the back end of the Wine House. Then talk to the two men in front of the ironsmith shop to meet Kotarou at the second floor of the Wine House. Go to the man guarding the entrance to the cave and show him the Permit. At this point, save the game in the mine - approximately one hour should be elapsed. _____________________________________ Act 2: The Mine Once the cut-scene has finished proceed down the left shaft. Solve the puzzle at the altar (right bottom, bottom left). Get the half scroll and gem. Return to the main room and proceed to the right. Meet Ekei, get the map and enjoy the cut-scene. Fight the beasts in the tunnels to get the money for trading. Take the right fork where the paths branches like a T-Junction. Depending on who've you've traded with, Ekei or Magoichi will help you fight. Clear the screen of lizards and advance to the Dragon Shrine to get the ice pike. Return to the T-Junction and go left. Break the magical seal (looks like a wheel) with the ice pike. Now is a good time to save; approximately one hour fifteen minutes. Put the first Oni stone into the hole on the left of the wall at the deep end. Fight Gingafatsu; watch out for when the spider tries to suck you in, retreat at this point... Once the spider is finished exit through the back of the room. Before talking to the injured man, solve the puzzle box behind him, located further down the corridor (bottom right, right top, bottom left, right bottom). You'll need the scroll for a puzzle later on... Now talk to the injured man and return to the village, where you'll receive the Portal Key. Do some trading now... _____________________________________ Act 3: Onimusha Castle Return to the mine and advance to help your allies. If you're on friendly terms with Kotarou, there's a brief cut-scene where you rescue him. Head to the room where you defeated the spider ogre boss. Defeat the foes, advance some more and then use the portal key on the lid (Hint: You'll need to enter the item menu to retrieve the key). Warp to the new area where you must defeat the two ogres. Enter the door with the broken seal and collect the crystal orb from the treasure chest on the bottom floor by the winding stairs. Ascend the stairs to reach the castle. Upon entering the castle, make your way to the top left room in the Hall area. Open both chests to collect the map and urn. Solve the Puzzle Chest of 15. Get skeleton finger (one of two). Return to the Hall and advance through the middle door to help your allies. Next proceed to the inner hall and solve the Puzzle Treasure Chest (right bottom, top right, left top). Get the Life Pearl. A good time to save now. Advance through the door at the end into the Staircase Hallway. Enter the slightly hidden door at the bottom of the stairs into the Well Room to meet the trapped soul. Get the yellow book from the shelf in the back. Return to the Staircase Hallway and ascend the stairs to the second floor Connection Hallway. There's a cut-scene here with a crying baby; Ekei goes mental. Advance into the stone room by following the gantry above the main hall. Get the purify pendant from the shelf. Return to the Well Room and use the purify pendant to get the skeletal finger. Now save again here. Return to the Inner Hallway and use both skeletal fingers on the sealed door that looks like a ribcage. Enter the door to trigger an event. Battle the two enemies and advance for your first battle with Gogandantess. Finally, advance through the narrow passageway and up the ladders. Once outside, talk to Oyu to receive the blue orb (Faith). Use the orb on the steel ball for a surprise. _____________________________________ Act 4: Village End This is the last village section and your final time to trade. You have to make sure you have all three claw pieces and have made friends with the character you wish to control later on. Being mates with Ekei means you can't play as Magoichi, so plan carefully. Leave the stables and talk to Oyu on the second floor of the Wine House. Go to the Market Place and talk to the woman holding the umbrella, triggering this event means you will not be able to return to the village, so make sure your ready and save just to be sure... After the cut-scene, head for the pond where Jubei started his adventure. Advance into the cave to trigger a shock event. Get the red ring and leave the cave. If you were friendly with Magoichi, he'll appear outside the cave and give you the Saiga Bomb. Use the Saiga Bomb on the breakable rocks to the side of the Dragon Shrine to get a soul necklace. Head back to the Jagyuu house (where you collected the tea set and the Four Gods map). Solve the puzzle treasure chest in the left corridor (top right, right bottom). Go into the garden and enter the room with the dresser. Sit through the optional Oyu event, and then use the red ring on the dresser. Solve the puzzle using the Four Gods Dragon map (look in your special items menu to view the map and match the symbols). Go down the ladder and jump the pit. Cut the rope and a razor will head your way. Run back to the pit, leap and hang until the razor passes. Pull yourself up and continue to the exit. Save at the mountains edge.
