/:::::::::::: Intro :::::::::::\
________________________________________/ \__
| |
| 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 |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Just hold down R1 and keep tapping the attack button 'til you kill the |
| demon. Grab the Herb from the box at the top center of the room and smash |
| as many vases as you can. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|

/::::::::::: Level 2 ::::::::::\

| |
| Soldier Demon x2 |
| 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 |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| 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 |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| 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 |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| With the Fire Orb equipped, hold R1 and tap the magic button. You'll |
| knock the first Long-Arm Demon down. Immediately switch to the Matchlock |
| and Bullets. Hold R1 to target the Gyaran and take a couple of steps |
| forwards. Now fire the Matchlock to kill the Gyaran. Switch back to the |
| fire orb, hold R1 to target the Long-Arm demon on the upper left and hit |
| the magic button to knock him down. Target the first Long-Arm and move |
| over to him. Kill him with 2-3 slashes, and then move back to the second |
| Long-Arm and kill him. 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 ::::::::::\
________________________________________/ \__
| |
| Soldier Demon x2 |
| Hard |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| 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 |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Equip the Matchlock and Bullets. DO NOT APPROACH THE DEMONS, as this could |
| make the Gyaran move towards you, smashing vases in his path. Stand right |
| where you are and hold R1. Quickly fire killing one Long-Arm, and then |
| hold down R1 to target the second. Fire again to kill him, too. Now, equip |
| the Fire Orb and run towards the Gyaran, slashing to smash vases in your |
| way. Do not go straight up the middle, as there is a box there and you |
| will get stuck behind it, allowing the Gyaran to move around. 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 |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Equip the thunder orb and go after the Bazuus, starting with the ones on |
| the right. Keep an eye on the other Bazuus as you do this, taking note if |
| any of them ball up and start spinning. If they do, hold L1 to block their |
| spinning ball attack. Keep 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 Ninja Suit at the top center and the Burst Bullets in the very |
| middle. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|

/ \
/::::::::::: Level 9 ::::::::::\
________________________________________/ \__
| |
| Gyaran x2 |
| Barabazuu x1 |
| Hard |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Equip the Wind Orb, move straight ahead and right a step and use a wind |
| attack, taking out a bunch of vases. Move ahead and to the right, 'till |
| you're under the Gyaran on the right. Use another wind attack to kill this |
| Gyaran and clear a path to the Barabazuu. Equip the thunder orb and lock |
| on to the Barabazuu. Hit him with magic to knock him down, and then |
| quickly get over him and tap attack to kill him with a sword thrust. Don't |
| worry about the second Gyaran, as he will be disappearing by now. Take the |
| Burst Bullets from the box in the top right and smash the rest of the |
| vases. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|

/:::::::::: Level 10 ::::::::::\
________________________________________/ \__
| |
| Long-Arm Demon x1 |
| Three-Eye x2 |
| Very Hard |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| 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 Matchlock and Burst |
| Bullets. Target the Long-Arm and fire quickly to break the middle vases. |
| Keep firing 'till you've killed the Long-Arm. This may take up to four |
| shots. Equip the thunder orb 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. Get over him quickly and kill him with a sword |
| thrust. Do not let him get up, as he can move very quickly. If he breaks |
| even one vase, you're done. 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, |
| but don't worry about killing him. Make a bee line to the last vase and |
| break it before he can even move towards you. |

/:::::::::: Level 11 ::::::::::\
________________________________________/ \__
| |
| Long-Arm Demon x1 |
| Three-Eye x2 |
| Very Hard |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Equip the Wind Orb, move a few steps forward and to the right and launch a |
| wind attack. Equip the thunder orb and go after the Three-Eye on the |
| right. Kill him, and then go for the Three-Eye on the left. After you've |
| killed both of them, slash a path straight to the Long-Arm and hit him |
| with a bit of magic. Absorb all of the souls, take an Herb if you need to, |
| and smash the remaining vases. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|

/:::::::::: Level 12 ::::::::::\
________________________________________/ \__
| |
| Barabazuu x2 |
| Bazuu x1 |
| Very Hard |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| 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. You should be out of fire magic, so equip the Wind Orb. Go over |
| to the first Barabazuu and hit him with a wind attack. This should knock |
| him down again. Quickly go over to the second Barabazuu, equip the thunder |
| orb and hit him with magic to kill him. Now either target the Barabazuu or |
| the Bazuu and kill the one after the other. You can also equip your |
| Matchlock (if you have any ammo left) and use it to kill them quickly. Use |
| up everything you've got, this is the last level. After you've killed |
| them, go around smashing the vases. Congratulations, you're done. |
