= 3. Onimusha's Story =
=======================
Onimusha was first introduced to all of us from Capcom on the Playstation 2
in 2001 when it hit shelves as a survival horror it made a big impact and was
very popular. Then news from Capcom saying that there would be a sequel to
Onimusha named Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny this was great news to the fans.
Capcom still wasn't done with the series in 2003 when they announced that the
series would be converted to the GBA as a strategy RPG, Onimusha Tactics and
that is where we stand today.

=- B. Basics -=
Onimusha Tactics does not allow you to freely roam around the world map nor
can you go back to a certain city and buy equipment instead you are forced to
a certain area and you must make weapons from Genma Stones before a battle.
To make weapons you will need the 'Recipe' in order to make that certain
weapon and you also must have the correct amount of Genma Stones for the
item. You can get 'Recipes' from the enemies that you kill. If you fight a
battle and get 2 or more 'Recipes' then do not kill the last enemy in that
battle instead Withdraw after only 1 enemy is left and then re-do that battle
about 2 or 3 times to collect more 'Recipes' to increase the amount of
equipment you can make.
Once you have made equipment you can Enhance it with the souls you get after
killing a enemy, each time you Enhance a piece of equipment it will gain new
kills sometimes, it will get stronger as well and the number of souls to
Enhance it will increase. You can only Enhnace each piece of equipment 4 times
before it will be maxed out.
After you make a item, find a item or steal a item be sure to equip it onto
the apporprite character that you want to use it. If you are equipping a piece
of armor, weapon or a accessory then you're stats will increase. If a stat has
a minus sign (-) before it and is yellow then the stat will be decreased if
the stat is blue then you know it will be increased.
=- C. Game Strategies -=
1. Battle Tips
During battles always make sure to try and steal from enemies using Forced
Search and always use stat increasing skills such as Tortoise Defense,
Strongman Mode, Target Mode, Dodge and Defender Mode I guarantee that with
these skills being used you will have a much easier time completing the
hard episodes.
2. Before Battles
Before a battle make sure to save you're game, this is very important. Also
after you push 'Start' on the main menu be sure to properly equip and make
weapons from the new 'Recipes' you acquired from the battle before and if
you used a certain item from the last battle equip another one just in case.
3. Enhancing Equipment
I would suggest that you do not Enhance armor unless it is the best one
in the game for that character, the defense boost just isn't great enough
to be wasting Souls on armor that will become obsolete once you get
better 'Recipes'. It's totally opposite for weapons though, I suggest that
you Enhance you're weapons up to level 2 you should get a 10-15 attack
boost from that but once you get the weapons start enhancing like crazy to
get the best attack possible and best skills possible.

= 5. Characters =
=================
=- Onimaru -=
Rating - 10 - 10
Weapon - Swords
Armor - Armor
Skills - Shock (12 SP)
Frenzy Slice (38 SP)
Onimusha Attack (1/2 Max SP)
A very powerful character with high HP, Attack and Defense also he has some of
the best skills in the game.
=- Oboro -=
Rating - 7 - 10
Weapon - Swords
Armor - Clothes
Skills - Minor Recovery (10 SP)
Secret Light (35 SP)
Oboro is one of the few healers in the game but she is also the first so feed
her Power Orbs and she will be your best later in the game.
=- Hikoichi -=
Rating - 8 - 10
Weapon - Swords
Armor - Armor
Skills - Defender Mode (8 SP)
Weakling Mode (8 SP)
Hikoichi has extremely high defense and has a very useful skill called Defender
Mode, it increases a ally's defense.
=- Bomaru -=
Rating - 5 - 10
Weapon - Spears
Armor - Clothes
Skills - Dodge (8 SP)
Recover Health (14 SP)
Bomaru became obsolete for me when I was at Episode 15. I wouldn't suggest him
as you're 'Spear' character through the game as there is better.
=- Hanpieta -=
Rating - 4 - 10
Weapon - Bows
Armor - Armor
Skills - Arrow of Sleep (15 SP)
Arrow of Poison (12)
Like Bomaru, Hanpieta becomes obsolete as you get better stronger characters.
=- Tsubame -=
Rating - 6 - 10
Weapon - Ninja Weapons
Armor - Ninja Armor
Skills - Strike Thunder (12 SP)
Lightning Flash (25)
Tsubame, will be a good character for you if you like to steal alot of items
but if you like a powerhouse team pick someone else she is very weak.
=- Kabuki -=
Rating - 9 - 10
Weapon - Swords
Armor - Armor
Skills - Strongman Mode (8 SP)
Paralyze (15 SP)
Kabuki will be you're second powerhouse (first was Onimaru) his HP and Attack
will go sky high as he levels up and he also comes with a very useful skill,
Strongman Mode.
=- Magoichi -=
Rating - 7 - 10
Weapon - Guns
Armor - Armor
Skills - Target Mode (8 SP)
Blind Mode (8 SP)
Tiger Salvo (35)
Magoichi is one of the most useful character that you get because in Episode 7
he learns the awesome Tiger Salvo skill, it shoots 6 times long distance at a
enemy. Also he comes with a very high attack power if you level him up.
=- Kotetsu -=
Rating - 9 - 10
Weapon - Axes
Armor - Armor
Skills - Stupid Mode (8 SP)
Head Butt (10 SP)
Another powerhouse, Kotetsu comes with very high HP and attack but his defense
is poor but thats not a problem with his high HP. At the end of the game for me
Kotetsu has the highest attack power.
=- Yoichi -=
Rating - 6 - 10
Weapon - Bows
Armor - Armor
Skills - Arrow of Wind (16 SP)
Phoenix Arrow (16 SP)
Yoichi is only slightly better then Hanpieta because he has alot better skills
but even so he will still become obsolete and not powerful enough to contend
in the later episodes.
=- Okuni -=
Rating - 7 - 10
Weapon - Spear
Armor - Clothes
Skills - Partial Recovery (20 SP)
Nightmare (15 SP)
I much prefer Oboro over Okuni because Okuni's healing skills are not as good
as Oboro's and Oboro is much stronger.
=- Ekei -=
Rating - 7 - 10
Weapon - Spears
Armor - Armor
Skills - Cross Flash (18 SP)
Maxi Thrust (28 SP)
Ekei is the 'Spear' wielder to take with you if you choose one. His Defense and
skills are great addition but still becomes obsolete and not as strong as some
of the other characters.
=- Shura -=
Rating - 6 - 10
Weapon - Swords
Armor - Armor
Skills - Confuse (15 SP)
Phoenix (8 SP)
Shura would be a great character but his Defense and HP are very poor so pick
a much stronger character who can take a few hits.
=- Agetha -=
Rating - 9 - 10
Weapon - Swords
Armor - Armor
Skills - Cast a Spell (10 SP)
Straight to Hell (20 SP)
Phoenix Ripper (35 SP)
Agetha is the best female in the game and is also one of the best overall
characters. Her attack, defense and movement make her great but her HP is very
poor so give her some Power Orbs to fix the problem.
=- Saizo -=
Rating - 6 - 10
Weapon - Ninja Weapons
Armor - Ninja Armor
Skills - Forced Search (5 SP)
Sword of Gales (25 SP)
Saizo is very weak like his other Ninja parters but has a very useful skill,
Forced Search. This skill will allow you to steal items from enemies if they
have any but if you are not gonna steal then do not use him.
=- Kaidomaru -=
Rating - 7 - 10
Weapon - Axes
Armor - Armor
Skills - Head Butt (10 SP)
Sword of Winds (12 SP)
Dragon Attack (35 SP)
A very strong character but for some reason he became obsolete for me and I was
never able to use him to the end of the game, I think it was because his
movement was very low.
=- Kotaro -=
Rating - 5 - 10
Weapon - Ninja Weapons
Armor - Ninja Armor
Skills - Flame Thrower (12 SP)
Blaze Thrower (25 SP)
A very weak character just like the other ninjas. Don't use him use another
more powerful character.
=- Sanjuro -=
Rating - 7 - 10
Weapon - Swords
Armor - Armor
Skills - Deadly Poison (10 SP)
God of Thunder (8 SP)
A pretty strong character for his age and has a few good skills but there is
much stronger characters that you can choose from.
=- Sakura -=
Rating - 6 - 10
Weapon - Bows
Armor - Clothes
Skills - Partial Recovery (20 SP)
Major Recovery (25 SP)
Another healer who isn't as good as Oboro but if you are looking for another
healer take Sakura as her skills are great healing skills.
=- Mitsuhide -=
Rating - 10 - 10
Weapon - Swords
Armor - Armor
Skills - Fire of Purgatory (26 SP)
Summon Thunder (26 SP)
Tortoise Defense (40)
Mitsuhide has great Attack, Defense, Movement and skills but his HP is only ok
so give him some Power Orb's and he will most definately be you're best
character with the awesome Tortoise Defense skill.
=- Onniko -=
Rating - 10 - 10
Weapon - Axes
Armor - Armor
Skills - Whirlwind (26 SP)
Wrath of God (26 SP)
Onniko is the only secret character of the game, you can acquire him by
beating the Phantom Realm's 16 levels. He is easily one of the best characters
but he starts at level 1 and most people don't want to raise him but if
you do I guarantee he will be great.

Difficulty: 4/10
Enemies - Genma Pawn X3
Musaid X2

Defeat: Death of Onimaru or Magoichi.
Difficulty: 6/10
Enemies - Musaid X4
Jaid X3
Gozales X1

alot easier.
Same thing like the last 5 missions, stay together and attack enemies
in packs and make sure to kill the enemy before moving onto the next.

enemy. By the way, Kabuki a powerhouse will join you're party after
the battle be sure to use him from now on so make him a Spirit Sword
when you get the chance.
=- Episode 7: The Keeper Of The Gates Of Hell -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 6/10
Enemies - Oni X6
Yama X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: This battle can be a pain in the ass if all you're sword users don't
have a Spirit Sword but if they do the battle should be the same as
as all the others just stick together and take out enemies 1 at a
time.
Once you reach Yama I want you to use Kabuki's Strongman Mode skill
on Onimaru and use Hiroichi's Defender Mode on the weakest attacker
probably Oboro once you've done that the next turn you can go in
give Yama all you got hopefully you can kill him in one turn.
=- Episode 8: The White Tiger Camp -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru Magoichi.
Difficulty: 8/10
Enemies - Nanaid X3
Jahinoon X4
Dollikeen X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: This battle is really hard because the 3 Nanaid sitting on top of the
hill just sit there and shoot Thunder Bullets at characters which
hits for about 70 HP. So first thing to do is stay close to the left
side of the map and take out the enemies sitting right in front of
you then continue up the hill in a tigh pack and kill the Jahinoon
then use Kabuki's Strongman Mode to increase Onimaru's attack and
send him and another high HP character after the Nanaid's kill them
then heal before you go after Dolikeen after everyone is healed send
everything you got after Dollikeen and he should witin 1-2 turns.
=- Episode 9: The White Tiger Camp: Conclusion -=
Misson: Kill the two Genma Lords.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru or Magoichi.
Difficulty: 8/10
Enemies - Jahinoon X3
Nanaid X3
Gullikeen X1
Dollikeen X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: Two hard battles in a row! Start off by giving everyone Herbs before
the battle. Once the battle has started take the HP high characters
down the hill and send the low HP character up the hill, make sure to
split these two groups 4 a piece and also make sure Magoichi is in the
downhill group. Kill off all the Genma that are uphill and then drop
Gullikeen's HP low enough for a one or two hit kill but do not kill
him.
Once the down hill party is there make them take out the Nanaid's as
quick as possible and then to drop Dollikeen's HP to a one or two hit
kill. Now that all the Genma are dead accept the Genma Lords, kill
them but make sure you do it in the same Player Phase or the other
will revive the other one.
=- Episode 10: Human Or Genma? -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 5/10
Enemies - Genma Samurai X6
Jorda X3
NPCs - Kotetsu
Tactics: You will finally meet Kotetsu in this battle as he is the only NPC,
with my game he was my most strongest character attack wise and his
HP sky rockets so use him when he joins.
Like always use Defender Mode and Strongman Mode and make sure to
take out a enemy before you move onto the next. Also 4 Genma appear
on turns 4 and 5 so don't kill all the enemies until they appear.
=- Episode 11: Striptease At Himeji Castle -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru or Okuni.
Difficulty: 5/10
Enemies - Genma Samurai X5
Jorda X4
Bistora X1
NPCs - Okuni
Tactics: Make sure to take at least one character with a movement of 6 into
this battle. First you start off by using Defender Mode on the
movement 6 character and then send her/him up to where Okuni is
hopefully the Genma Samurai there will attack you instead of her.
After those Genma are taken out and Okuni is safe start on the rest
of the enemies by using the take out 1 enemy before starting on the
other enemies tactic.
=- Episode 12: Disaster On Awaji Island -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 7/10
Enemies - Genma Samurai X3
Jorda X4
Hyujaid X2
Gyurossoss X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: These type of battles made me wish I used archers but I still
managed. Anyways start of by sending characters up the hill make sure
to use Strongman Mode and Defender Mode on the forward characters.
After that just use the same tactics as always attack enemies in
packs and make sure there dead before you start on the next enemy.
Before going after the lone Gyurossoss make sure that you're
strongest characters and the characters that are attacking have the
Strongman Mode and Defender Mode used on them because Gyurossoss has
the ability to put you're characters asleep so it's best to take him
out in one Player Phase.
=- Episode 13: The Flooding Of Takamatsu Castle -=
Misson: Destroy the Genma Pumps.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 4/10
Enemies - Genma Pump X3
Hyujaid X4
Beoziekel X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: This is a fairly easy battle with only 1 tough enemy the lone
Beoziekel will be tough but either then that stick to the tactics
that I have told you 30 times over but before you get to the
Beoziekel split you're party up so that they are all not bunched up
Beoziekel has a attack that can hit 5 people long range. After he is
dead go after the powerless Genma Pump.
=- Episode 14: Guildenstern's Secret Lab -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru or Agetha.
Difficulty: 7/10
Enemies - Hyujaid X6
Dorogand X2
NPCs - Agetha
Shura
Tactics: Just follow Agetha's lead and double team enemies like always but
once you get to a Dorogand watch out because after you kill them
they explode damaging everyone around them for about 60 HP so make
sure to have alot of HP before killing them.
=- Episode 15: Castle Beneath The Sand -=
Misson: Wipe out the Zombie Genma.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 5/10
Enemies - Gyumposs X8
NPCs - None
Tactics: This battle can be very easy and short or extremely long and
annoying it all depends on how fast you can take out your enemies.
First start off with the usual Strongman Mode and Defender Mode and
then for the first time launch an all out attack on the dead Genma
split party members up and just kill them as fast as you can if
enough of them have a turn then half you're party will be put to
sleep which will make the battle extremely long and annoying.
=- Episode 16: The Battle For Kozuki Castle -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 6/10
Enemies - Dorogand X3
Bi-Gozales X4
Beoziekel X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: I hope you've been using the character who have high HP because this
battle consists of some very strong enemies. First start with a
Strongman Mode and Defender Mode on the lead character and use the
tactics that I have told you before, stick together and move in a
group but like before when you reach Beoziekel spilt up because he
has attack that can hit 5 characters who are together.
=- Episode 17: The Person Of Destiny -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru or exceeding 12 turns.
Difficulty: 6/10
Enemies - Dorogand X5
Bi-Gozales X2
Ragnossoss X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: You have only 12 turns to defeat the enemy so sticking together is
not a option but you should have about 2-3 characters who can stick
together and rush through the map to get to the last enemy and kill
him and let the party who was left behind take care of the rest.
Watch your HP though because the enemies are strong in this level.
=- Episode 18: The Phoenix Camp -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru or Agetha.
Difficulty: 3/10
Enemies - Ore Nanaid X6
Bi-Gozales X2
NPCs - None
Tactics: This is a really easy battle because the first set of enemies you
come to are all together on a bride so start using Onimaru's Shock
and any other characters long range attack that attacks more then 1
square.
Once the first 4 enemies are dead take caution of the other Ore
Nanaids because they have a very powerful skill just like the old
Nanaids had accept they have a Fire Bullet instead of Thunder
Bullet.
=- Episode 19: The Phoenix Camp: Conclusion -=
Misson: Kill Balahagi, the Genma Lord.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru or Agetha.
Difficulty: 8/10
Enemies - Ore Nanaid X4
Bi-Gozales X3
Balahagi X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: The last battle was easy but this one sure isn't. You start off
right by the enemies and the path is narrow so you must use you're
high HP characters to lead the party. Like always start off with
Defender Mode and Strongman Mode and then attack the enemies try and
kill off at least 1 or 2 before the first Player Phase is over.
After that use Orboro or Okuni or whoever your healer is to heal the
wounded and then kill off the rest of the Genma around Balahagi after
most of them are dead use all you're SP and you're most powerful
skills on the Genma Lord to kill him before he can kill you.
=- Episode 20: A Strange-Looking Man Appears -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Inability of Onimaru to fight.
Difficulty: 2/10
Enemies - Genma Bushi X13
Magnossoss X1
NPCs - Kaidomaru
Tactics: After a very tough battle comes a extremely easy battle. The Genma
Bushi will appear all over the place in this episode but they only
have 200 HP and 39 attack so most of them are one hit kills for the
strong character and two kills for the weak.
Once you get to Magnossoss be sure to keep Onimaru out of his way
because if he uses Black Bubble on Onimaru then he is as the defeat
says 'Inability of Onimaru to fight' so do not let it happen attack
with other characters and not Onimaru.
=- Episode 21: Hamamatsu Genam Farm -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru or Kotaro.
Difficulty: 9/10
Enemies - Magnossoss X1
Gnomezop X5
Balamzop X2
NPCs - Kotaro
Tactics: Be sure to have at least 1 Care Medicine on every character before
starting this battle because the extremely annoying Balamzop cast
Shocking Ray on multiple targets which causes Paralyze! Also take
out all the Gnomezop before they have the chance to turn into there
older and more annoying brothers, Balamzop also note that damage
inflicted on a Gnomezop does not transfer over to the Balamzop who
grew.
As for the characters to take, I suggest long range characters
(Hanpieta, Magiochi) and characters with very high movement 6 and 5
those are the best to take because they will be able to eliminate the
Gnomezop before they use there skill 'Growthe'.
=- Episode 22: The Battle Of Nagashino -=
Misson: Destroy all the Gatling Guns.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 8/10
Enemies - Genma Bushi X3
Genma Gatling X5
NPCs - None
Tactics: If it wasn't for Onimusha or Defender Mode I think I would still
be stuck in this episode because the Genma Gatling's are just brutal.
First start off by having you're strongest highest movement character
(not Onimaru) get Defender Mode and Strongman Mode cast on them and
send him up as far as he can go. Now bring Onimaru up right behind
the strong character but make sure a cross attack can't hit him and
the strong character now push done with everyone else. On the enemy
turn all the Genma Gatling should shoot you're strong character for
4 HP each and leave Onimaru alone if you did it right. Now send the
strong character up to the Genma Gatling and attack with you're
strongest attack then send Onimaru up and use the mighty Onimusha.
On the next player turn no one needs healing so start bring the rest
of the party up, make sure to put them in the cross shape so they all
take a bullet each not one person for 4 bullets. Continue with this
and you will beat quite possibly the hardest episode in the game with
ease.
=- Episode 23: The Skull Cup -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 4/10
Enemies - Genma Bushi X8
Filmereck X4
NPCs - None
Tactics: This is a pretty basic battle so just keep you're character healthy
and be sure to kill all the Filmereck as soon as you get a chance.
Enemies will also appear throughout the battle so keep a close eye
on your heatlh because who knows when a monster will pop up right
behind you.
=- Episode 24: A Trap At Kiyosu Castle -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 4/10
Enemies - Genma Bushi X2
Filmereck X5
Zamnossoss X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: Another fairly easy battle. First start off with sending some of
you're mobile characters up the stiars on the left and send 2 less
mobile character up the stairs to the right. Now just kill off the
enemies on the stairs and when you have a chance to get everybody a
on a enemy that is on the platform, then go for it. be sure to heal
before you rush in though because the Zamnossoss is extremely strong.
=- Episode 25: The Genma Beasts Of Kiyosu -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 8/10
Enemies - Belon X4
Belosk X4
Belozuna X1
Giramusaid X1
NPCs - None
Tactics: I hate monsters that evolve :( anyways he Belon evolve into Belosk
and then Belosk will evolve into a Belozuna and if I remember
correctly a Belozuna will dis-evolve into 4 Belon which can cause
trouble for you. So your tactics are to stay in one big group and do
not by no means break up your party. Just hack away at them as they
get close to you but watch when they evolve they are much stronger.
This was my very first time dying in this game, this mission is hard.
=- Episode 26: Tragedy Of Fate -=
Misson: Wipe out the enemy.
Defeat: Death of Onimaru.
Difficulty: 8/10
Enemies - Genma Bushi X3
Genma Gatling X5
NPCs - None
Tactics: If it wasn't for Onimusha or Defender Mode I think I would still
be stuck in this episode because the Genma Gatling's are just brutal.
First start off by having you're strongest highest movement character
(not Onimaru) get Defender Mode and Strongman Mode cast on them and
send him up as far as he can go. Now bring Onimaru up right behind
the strong character but make sure a cross attack can't hit him and
the strong character now push done with everyone else. On the enemy
turn all the Genma Gatling should shoot you're strong character for
4 HP each and leave Onimaru alone if you did it right. Now send the
strong character up to the Genma Gatling and attack with you're
strongest attack then send Onimaru up and use the mighty Onimusha.
On the next player turn no one needs healing so start bring the rest
of the party up, make sure to put them in the cross shape so they all
take a bullet each not one person for 4 bullets. Continue with this
and you will beat quite possibly the hardest episode in the game with
ease.
