Introduction | |-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------| | | |First off, I thought I better point out that I won’t be adding any | |information regarding gaining access to the Ogre Tower, or the the | |Bishamon Sword. I feel that those aspects of the game aren't considered | |as secrets, but rather side quest's of sort that require a bit of | |additional searching. Whoever is writing a FAQ/Walkthrough, I hope they | |include those details. | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------| | 2. Unlock Easy Mode | |---------------------|---------------------------------------------------| | | |There's been quite alot of mixed feelings about the exact time and | |method of acquiring the easy mode difficulty. Some say that dying 5 | |times on normal unlocks this difficulty. I have then heard others | |claim that simply dying 5 times for them did not work. I believe that | |simply dying five times on normal won't quite do it. I think unlocking | |this mode is also based on what part of the game you are on. I unlocked | |the easy difficulty after dying 5 or more times near the start of the | |game. I don't think it is possible to unlock easy once you have | |progressed past a certain point in the game. Mainly meaning.... if you | |want that easy, you better start off early in the game. If anyone has | |solid evidence that you can unlock easy at any point in the game, please | |e-mail me so I can update this. | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------| | 3. Unlock Hard Mode | |---------------------|-------------------------------------------------| | | |To unlock Hard Mode, you must complete the game in under three hours. | |At first, doing so may seem nearly impossible to pull off. If you can | |manage to beat the mini game Oni Spirits, you may have an easier time | |doing this. With the help of the Ultimate mode setting, you should be | |able to clear the game in well under 2 hours or less. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------| | 4. Unlock Kaede Extra | |-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------| | | |Collect all thirty Fluorites on any difficulty to unlock the Kaede Extra.| |This neat little secret, is an alternate costume you can unlock for | |Kaede to wear. For help finding all thirty Fluorites, check out the | |FAQ I wrote on that subject. | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------| | 5. Unlock Oni Spirits Mini Game | |---------------------------------|---------------------------------------| | | |To unlock the Oni Spirits mini game, you must collect a certain number | |Fluorites. I finished the game my first time through with twenty-seven. | |The GameFaqs code page says having anywhere from twenty to thirty | |Fluroties will also yield the same result. I'm unsure about the exact | |number required, but don't think it's very important as to the exact | |number. As long as you collect twenty-seven, you'll be fine. Hey, and | |while you at it, why not just collect all thirty? Saves you from making | |a second trip. | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------| | 6. Unlock Samanosuke Extra | |----------------------------|-------------------------------------------| | | |The Samanosuke Extra, is an alternate costume for Samanosuke to wear | |while playing through the game. To unlock this secret, beat the game | |on the Hard difficulty with a ranking of S. | |Check below in the next section for the exact numbers required. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------| | 7. Ranking Chart | |------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | | |Within Genma Onimusha is a unique ranking system that allows the | |players to rate their progress with a series of points. A perfect score | |is thirty, and can only be achieved by scoring all available points in | |three categories. The exact numbers are below. | | | |Please take ***note*** The rank of S, is only attainable on the Hard | |Difficulty Setting. | | | | | |====================================== | |Number of hours taken to complete game | |====================================== | |Up to 3 hours taken to complete = 10 points | |3-4 hours taken to complete = 7 points | |4-5 hours taken to complete = 5 points | |5 or more hours taken to complete = 3 points | | | |======================= | |Number of demons killed | |======================= | |0-399 demons killed = 3 points | |400-499 demons killed = 5 points | |500-599 demons killed = 7 points | |600 or more demons killed = 10 points | | | |=========================================== | |Number of souls absorbed into your gauntlet | |=========================================== | |0-34,999 souls = 3 points | |35,000-44,999 souls = 5 points | |45,000-54,999 souls = 7 points | |55,000 or more souls = 10 points | | | |============================ | |The points add up as follows | |============================ | |Add up your points from each category above, and total them here to find | |out what ranking you will receive. | |0-9 points = D Ranking (Rank can be achieved on any difficulty) | |10-17 points = C Ranking (Rank can be achieved on any difficulty) | |18-24 points = B Ranking (Rank can be achieved on any difficulty) | |25-29 points = A Ranking (Rank can be achieved on any difficulty) | |30 points = S Ranking (Rank can ONLY be achieved on Hard Difficulty) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | 8. Unlock Ultimate Mode setting (for use on easy&normal difficulties) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|-| | | |To unlock the Ultimate Mode setting for use on the Easy and Normal | |difficulties, successfully complete the twelve stages of the Oni Spirits | |mini game, and save the completion data. You will now be able to start a | |new game on either normal or easy difficulty, with the Bishamon sword, | |an infinite supply of magic, ninety-nine soul absorbers, an infinite | |number of normal bullets and burst bullets for the Matchlock, and an | |infinite number of normal and fire arrows for use with the Bow. | |Selecting to use the Ultimate Mode setting is also the easiest way to | |complete the game in under three hours to gain the Hard difficulty. | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------------| | 9. Unlock Ultimate Mode setting (for use on hard difficulty) | |--------------------------------------------------------------|----------| | | |To unlock the Ultimate Mode setting for use on the Hard difficulty, | |successfully complete the game once on Hard with a rank lower than that | |of S. By doing so, you will now be able to use the plethora of goodies | |mentioned in the section above on Hard difficulty. | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------| | 10. Game Over | |---------------|-------------------------------------------------------| | | |If there are any questions, suggestions, or any of that sort, please | |send them to my e-mail address at the top of the document. The only | |restriction is stuff considered dumb. You know.... like things that | |are already mentioned here. Don't ask me questions to things that | |have already been answered. | | | | | |GaMe oVeR... press reset | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
