My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a hardcore gamer with about 30+ years
of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software, LucasArts
Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA). I also own multiple systems such
as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation
1 and 2, Xbox, and Xbox 360.

I started writing guides in 2003 because I felt it was something I could do
utilizing my writing skills gained in college and gametesting along with my
passion for vidgames. Over time I have honed my overall writing and
organization skills plus my creative thinking skills. Additionally, I have
extended the play value of the games I have written guides and FAQs for many
times over plus I have received many letters from all over the world.

I am also what one may call an RGB Analog Video enthusiast. I hack most of my
game consoles to try to get the best possible video from them and that
usually involves tapping into the RGB Analog video signals and using them on
the right monitors to achieve my desires. To this end I became a member of
the GamesX.com mod forum and I post on their \"RGB + Video Discussions\" forum
area from time to time.

In addition, I am a member of the X-Otic Computer Systems of San Antonio
(www.xcssa.org), a group who specializes in Linux, Mac, and other systems. We
are also a group of hackers and electronics enthusiasts.

I am also a regular forum poster at site, an occasional poster at
AtariAge, Digital Press, GTA Forums, and Video Game Saga. I am also a member
of The MoFaT (a members only message board set up by \"Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City\" players who met on the Vice City message boards at site).

Outside of gaming, my interests include \"Godzilla\" (I have been a G-Fan since
the age of ten) and \"Red Dwarf\". I am also a long time soundtrack collector
with many titles in my possession. As far as favorite sports teams go, my
teams are the San Antonio Spurs (NBA) [the local team], the Denver Broncos
(NFL) [although I live in Texas, I am originally from Colorado Springs,
Colorado] and the Air Force Falcons (NCAA Football).

This guide was constructed using TextWrangler on an Apple Mac Mini. I view my
work in Safari to help in seeing how it would look on the web and correct
format errors. I also play \"Mini Ninjas\" on a Nintendo DSi XL that was a
lost-and-found claim.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

If this is the first time you have visited\nthen you will find a lot of useful information in a highly organized format\nthat you can use to beat the game. Quotes taken from readers' e-mail are\npresented \"as is\" and may include spelling and grammatical errors.\n\nThe main emphasis of this guide is to provide information on how to find all\nof the Tengu and complete all of the Side-Quests as well as the best ways to\nbeat the bosses including the last one, Ashida. I hope that you enjoy this\nguide as much as learn from it.\n\nDuring the construction of this guide I used the following for additional\nreference:\n\n  >>\"Mini Ninjas\" (NDS) Guide - by Enalia (Nicole Ockerman)\n    *******************************************************\n      I initially used her guide for some assistance early in my first \n      run-through but her document is incomplete and it was the only text \n      based guide for this game out there. I do refer to her work at certain \n      points within this guide.\n\n  >>TheShapeshifter100\n    ******************\n      She is an young English woman who posted a Let's Play series of this \n      game on YouTube. Her videos helped to fill in some of the missing \n      information, especially on the Tengu.\n\n  >>\"Mini Ninjas\" Official Strategy Guide - by Michael Knight\n    *********************************************************\n      This guide is for the console versions and therefore can not be of much \n      use for the DS version. However, I needed to know what the names of the \n      enemies were and this book helped me on that. Some of the names were \n      either taken or inspired by the book.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

It is not a secondary story related to the story within the console\nversion - it is a portable version of the same story. I throughly enjoyed the\nXbox 360 version and wanted to give this one a try when I acquired my DSi XL.\nOf course, I had to wait until I finished up my \"GTA: Chinatown Wars\" guide\nfirst.\n\nI also enjoyed this version but did not like the camera system. I thought it\nto be a hinderance in certain situations, especially when it came to wall\nrunning. However, given the limitations of the DS, I thought they did the\nbest job with the hardware available. I liked how they used the touch screen\nfor the Plane of Spirits challenges but found that the game can be quite\npicky when it came to using the Microphone.\n\nI do not know at this time if this game will also run on the Nintendo 3DS or\nif the analog nub would work on this game if it did.\n\n            \/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\\\n \/=========================================================================\\\n| >GEN3.

The Top Screen |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\\\n0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0\n\nThis is where all of the action in \"Mini Ninjas\" takes place. In the center\nof your screen is your current character. Down at the bottom of the screen is\nthe following:\n\n  >>Health\n    ******\n      Your Health is represented by multiple Big Hearts. The more you have, \n      the more damage you can take. It takes about five hits to fully remove \n      a Big Heart. When you get hit at least one Small Heart is removed from \n      your overall Health.\n\n      When all of your Hearts disappear then you will die. You can choose to \n      continue from where you died but you will have half of your Health, Ki \n      Meter, and Stamina Meter.\n\n      You can recover Health by eating Food which can be found at the bases \n      of some trees or inside of bushes. Food can also be found inside what \n      are known as Food Pots. They look like large black pots with a red \n      symbol. Break them to open them. Each piece of Food will restore one \n      Small Heart. If your Health is full then you will place the Food inside \n      your Inventory so you can use it later if you need to.\n\n      There are many different kinds of Food you will find. You can carry up \n      to nine of each kind within your Inventory.\n\n      You can also restore your Health by using Minor and Major Health \n      Potions, achieving a new level, and entering into the next area or \n      Castle.\n\n  >>Ki\n    **\n      This is represented by a light blue line directly below your Health. It \n      is the foundation of Kuji Magic, something only Hiro can use. This can \n      be drained by using Spells or being attacked by Ghosts. You can \n      replenish your Ki by eating Honey, using Weak and Strong Ginseng \n      Extract Potions, and by Meditating.\n\n  >>Stamina (aka Shadow Ki)\n    ***********************\n      This is the yellow line directly underneath the Ki Meter. You deplete \n      this line when running. When it is depleted then you will stop running. \n      When you stop running then it will slowly replenish on its own. When \n      you Meditate then it will quickly fill back up. It is linked to the Ki \n      Meter in that when it is drained then your Stamina Meter will also \n      drain to match it.\n\n  >>Experience Gauge\n    ****************\n      This is the round symbol to the left of your Health, Ki, and Stamina \n      Meters. Each time you defeat an enemy, complete a Side-Quest, or free a \n      Caged Animal or Tengu you will gain Experience. You will see it creep \n      up along the sides of the symbol. When it fills up then you will gain a \n      Level and obtain additional power. When you start the game you will be \n      at Level 1 and have three Big Hearts.\n\n      There are a total of sixteen Levels and listed below are the upgrades \n      for each one:\n\n        --Level 2 - Health increase; Big Heart.\n        --Level 3 - Ki increase.\n        --Level 4 - Health increase; Big Heart.\n        --Level 5 - Hiro earns the Jikoko Attack (explained later).\n        --Level 6 - Ki increase.\n        --Level 7 - Health increase; Big Heart.\n        --Level 8 - Ki increase.\n        --Level 9 - Health increase; Big Heart.\n        --Level 10 - Ki increase.\n        --Level 11 - Health increase; Big Heart.\n        --Level 12 - Ki increase.\n        --Level 13 - Ki increase.\n        --Level 14 - Ki increase.\n        --Level 15 - Health increased; Big heart.\n        --Level 16 - Nothing! No bonus of any kind.\n\n      There is a way to get up to Level 15 well before reaching the end and I \n      will cover that in the main portion of the guide.\n\n0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0\n| B. The Touch Screen |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\\\n0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0\n\nThis is where you will do a lot of interacting. On the left side of the Touch\nScreen is where you will switch out your characters:\n\n  >>Hiro\n    ****\n      He is basically the main character of the game. He is the only one who \n      can cast spells using Kuji Magic and access the Plane of Spirits \n      through Meditation. He has average speed and strength and uses the \n      Katana as his weapon of choice. He also uses ranged weapons which can \n      be accessed at the lower left center part of the screen:\n\n        --Shuriken\n          ========\n            These are your basic ninja stars. These are mainly used to \n            trigger Levers from afar. They can damage enemies but it takes a \n            quite a few of them to defeat them. You can carry a maximum of 99 \n            of this weapon.\n\n        --Super Shuriken\n          ==============\n            These are much larger than the regular Shurikens and can do a lot\n            more damage allowing you to defeat most enemies in one shot. You \n            can carry a maximum of nine of this weapon.\n\n        --Bomb\n          ====\n            These are weapons that explode on contact and can be used on \n            groups of enemies for quick disposal. You can carry a maximum of \n            nine of this weapon.\n\n  >>Futo\n    ****\n      He is Hiro's best friend and very large and slow. However, he is also \n      very strong and is best suited to close combat, especially since he \n      carries a large and long Hammer. He has no ranged weapons. In addition, \n      he can't climb high ledges, wall run, or wall jump.\n\n  >>Suzume\n    ******\n      She carries a Flute that also doubles as a melee weapon. She is the \n      weakest of the three but is also the fastest. Like Hiro she also has \n      ranged weapons:\n\n        --Dart\n          ****\n            She can also use her Flute to shoot darts at enemies. They have \n            about the same effectiveness as the Shuriken but I think she may \n            be more accurate with them than Hiro is with the Shuriken. You \n            can carry a maximum of 99 of this weapon.\n\n        --Sleeping Dart\n          *************\n            One hit with this weapon can put any enemy to sleep for a short \n            period of time. This makes attacking them easier. You can carry a \n            maximum of nine of this weapon.\n\n        --Smoke Bomb\n          **********\n            This weapon will send out a large cloud of smoke that effectively \n            stuns all nearby enemies thus making them easier to defeat. You \n            can carry a maximum of nine of this weapon.\n\n       <0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>\n\nOn the right side of the screen is the following:\n\n  >>Meditation\n    **********\n      This only appears when Hiro is on the screen. When he Meditates then he \n      will replenish his Ki and Stamina but this will take some time. You can \n      get out of Meditation by simply moving the D-Pad.\n\n  >>Ninja Hat and Cape\n    ******************\n      One of the important items you are given is the large Ninja Hat. When \n      worn it offers some protection from the arrows that some of the enemies \n      will fire at you. Each time an arrow bounces off of it then you will \n      see the Ninja Hat icon on the Touch Screen get more red. When it fills \n      up then you automatically take off the Hat.\n\n      Whenever you take off the Hat it will recover from any damage that it \n      has sustained. The Hat is also used as a raft when in the water. The \n      Hat can be damaged by smacking hard into any rocks. In the Snow \n      Wilderness it is part of a special Cape designed to protect you from \n      the cold.\n\n  >>Map\n    ***\n      This accesses the Map of the area that you are in. It will show you \n      where you are at, your current objectives, and how many Caged Tengu you \n      have freed.\n\n       <0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>\n\nIn the center of the screen is a bag where you can look at your Inventory.\nYou can also pause the game by looking at your Inventory or Map.\n\n            \/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\\\n \/=========================================================================\\\n| >GEN5.

Here\nare the remaining characters who will appear in various parts of the game:\n\n  >>Tora\n    ****\n      Tora is a fast and small ninja who believes himself to be a tiger thus \n      using the Tiger Claws as his weapon of choice. He is the game's version \n      of the popular comic book character Wolverine.\n\n  >>Kunoichi\n    ********\n      She is very agile and uses a Nagata Spear as her weapon. This makes her \n      perfect against enemies with long weapons.

You can\nperform a charged unblockable attack by holding the A Button then releasing\nit. To block an attack you use the R Button.\n\nTo use a ranged weapon you use the Y Button to throw it. You can aim by\nholding down the Y Button and use the D-Pad to lock it onto an enemy or Lever\nthen release the button to throw. Use the Touch Screen to select the ranged\nweapon you wish to use.

This\narmy consists of animals that have been twisted by Kuji Magic to do his\nbidding. Defeating them will turn them back into animals. As you enter each\nnew chapter the enemies will get more difficult to defeat as they will take\nmore hits and block more often. Their uniform color will also change to\nreflect this.\n\nUnless otherwise noted it is best to use Futo for all melee combat since he\nhas the longest weapon and is the most powerful of your three characters.\n\nBelow are the various enemies that you will encounter:\n\n  >>Samurai\n    *******\n      These are the standard foot soldiers and will use their Katana when \n      attacking.\n\n  >>Captain\n    *******\n      This is a larger version of the Samurai and will take more effort to \n      defeat.\n\n  >>Spears\n    ******\n      This is the single most annoying enemy in the game. These are Samurai \n      that use a long spear that is twice as long as a Katana. They don't \n      have to swing it at you to damage you - they can just run into you with \n      it. Because they use a long weapon this also makes melee combat more \n      difficult.\n\n  >>Archers\n    *******\n      This is also another annoying enemy. They use the Bow from a distance \n      and rain arrows on you. You can limit their damage by using the Ninja \n      Hat. In addition, they will run when you get close to them because they \n      can't do any melee fighting.\n\n  >>Clubbers\n    ********\n      These are huge monstrosities with very large clubs. They can do a lot \n      of damage to you if they hit you with it. If you get right up to one \n      then it will smack you with its belly and gradually take off your \n      Health.\n\n      In the early stages of the game it is best to start with Hiro and use \n      the Bomb and Super Shuriken to weaken it and then switch to Futo to \n      finish it off (use of the Strange Brew Potion will also help). Later, \n      start with Suzume and use the Sleeping Dart or Smoke Bomb to stun it \n      then switch to Futo to finish it off. Use of the Fireball and Meteor \n      Spells by Hiro can quickly defeat them.\n\n  >>Ghosts\n    ******\n      These undead beings can't hurt you but will drain your Ki. The only way \n      to defeat them is with the Exorcism Spell which only Hiro can use.\n\n  >>Assassins\n    *********\n      These small enemies with pointy hats are quite dangerous. They like to \n      get up close and jab you with their Knives.\n\n  >>Monks\n    *****\n      These guys like to fly around and hit you from a distance with their \n      energy balls. When you get close to him, or fire a weapon or Spell near \n      him, then he will fly off. However, he will spin as he does so. If you \n      continue to get close and make him fly for awhile then he will get \n      dizzy and this will allow you to get in close for attacking.\n\n            \/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\\\n \/=========================================================================\\\n| >GEN8.

When you Meditate near one then you enter what is\nknown as the Plane of Spirits.

If they touch you then you fail and will be sent back out. You\nuse the Touch Screen to interact with this area and there are several tools\nyou use for this. Simply tap on one to use it:\n\n  >>Brush\n    *****\n      When you start each of these puzzles you will be required to draw the \n      background. This tool is used for this as well as draw any additional \n      pieces as necessary which is usually indicated by dotted lines. If you \n      mess up then there is an Eraser in the upper right corner you use to \n      erase your mistake.\n\n  >>Knife\n    *****\n      This is used to cut out an area of the background which is indicated \n      with a light gray line.\n\n  >>Wind\n    ****\n      Usually, when you cut out an piece of the background, then you will go \n      into it and you will need to blow into the Microphone to move the paper \n      to a safe area.\n\n      However, on at least a couple of these puzzles, the game can be finicky \n      in regards to the Microphone. You have to blow just right in order to \n      move the paper. Most times you will just make yourself dizzy.\n\n      But there is an alternative to blowing into your NDS. It's what I call \n      Rubbing the Microphone. Place your thumb over the Microphone and \n      rapidly move it back and forth. This somehow produces the right noise \n      necessary to make the paper move.\n\n  >>Hammer\n    ******\n      This tool destroys breakable Walls that often impede progress.\n\n  >>Rotate\n    ******\n      In some of these puzzles large Mechanisms are employed. Activate this \n      tool then use your stylus to rotate the circular part in a clockwise \n      direction to get it move and shift the other parts of the Mechanism. \n      Stopping the rotation will allow the Mechanism to return to its \n      original position.\n\nOnce you have successfully completed the puzzle then the Spirit Portal will\nbe permanently open and you can go back and forth through it without having\nto do the puzzle again.\n\nThere are a total of twenty of these puzzles but five of them are for battles\nwith the Elemental Spirits and I will explain how those go later.\n\n            \/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\\\n \/=========================================================================\\\n| >GEN10.

They are used to access different areas, protect Hiro, and make it\neasier to defeat enemies. He acquires Spells through the use of Kuji Altars.\nIn order to use them, though, he needs a Tengu Feather. These Feathers are\nacquired either through Side-Quests or defeating Bosses.\n\nSpells require Ki to use. The more powerful the Spell, the more Ki it\nrequires. The more Ki you have, the more you can use a particular Spell,\nespecially powerful ones.\n\nYou can access the Spell wheel by tapping the icon at the lower center part\nof the Touch Screen.\n\nThe thing about using Spells is that it takes a few seconds for Hiro to\nsummon the power to use them before activating it. This may give nearby\nenemies a chance to hit you before you can cast it thus preventing you from\nusing it. Worse, if they time their hits just right, they can stop the Spell\nbut you will still have used up the Ki necessary for it.\n\nListed below are all of the Spells:\n\n  >>Possession\n    **********\n      Description: Take temporary control of an animal.\n      Acquired: At Ninja Village.\n      Feather Color: Black.\n\n  >>Teleportation\n    *************\n      Description: Teleport to a Tengu Mage that you have already met.\n      Acquired: By freeing the Earth Wilderness (Mountain Gorge) Tengu Mage.\n      Feather Color: Orange.\n      Notes: One of the more important Spells that you will use.\n\n  >>Fireball\n    ********\n      Description: Launch a powerful fireball.\n      Acquired: By defeating Lumbering Fool at the end of Chapter 2.\n      Feather Color: Red.\n      Notes: Doesn't have as much range as the Shuriken but can defeat most \n             enemies in one hit. It doesn't take a lot of Ki to use either.\n\n  >>Exorcism\n    ********\n      Description: This Spell is the only way to defeat Ghosts.\n      Acquired: Given to you by the Village Elder at the Night Village within \n                the Night Wilderness.\n      Feather Color: Silver.\n      Notes: There are not a lot of Ghosts to deal with so you won't be using \n             this too much.\n\n  >>Energy Shield\n    *************\n      Description: Create a shield of pure energy that protects against \n                   attacks until Ki is reduced to zero.\n      Acquired: By defeating Windy Pants at the end of Chapter 3.\n      Feather Color: Blue.\n      Notes: Unlike the Barkskin Potion this lasts as long as you have Ki. \n             The more Ki you have, the longer you can make this last. The \n             only downside is that only Hiro can use this Spell but it will \n             protect him longer than Barkskin.\n\n  >>Tornado\n    *******\n      Description: Launch a terrifying tornado that tears up everything in \n                   its path.\n      Acquired: By defeating Timid Swimmer at the end of Chapter 4.\n      Feather Color: Green.\n      Notes: Because of the random nature of its movements I find this to \n             fairly inaccurate. But, when it hits an enemy, it will instantly \n             defeat them.\n\n  >>Kuji Disruptor\n    **************\n      Description: Unleash a ball of pure Kuji that burns all enemies in the \n                   vicinity.\n      Acquired: By defeating Screeching Owl at the end of Chapter 5.\n      Feather Color: Purple.\n      Notes: This is a powerful Spell but can be finicky at times. You have \n             to be close to your enemies in order to use it. Sometimes you \n             can use it and defeat all nearby and other times it won't touch \n             them.\n\n             This Spell doesn't work well against Archers because they are \n             running away from you so they can get a better angle to shoot \n             you. This means that most times they are out of range when you \n             try to use it against them. This will weaken, but not instantly \n             defeat, the stronger Clubbers in the second half of the game.\n\n  >>Meteor\n    ******\n      Description: Creates a meteor with great destructive force.\n      Acquired: From Toshimi in the Fire Wilderness.\n      Feather Color: Golden.\n      Notes: This is a Spell that will instantly defeat any enemy unlucky \n             enough to be caught under the large rock when it drops down onto \n             them. This is more powerful than the Kuji Disruptor but works \n             only at a certain distance.\n\n  >>Freeze Time\n    ***********\n      Description: A powerful Spell that stops time.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      Acquired: From Tamago at the Living Tower after defeating the seventh \n                wave of his Samurai challenge.\n      Feather Color: White.\n      Notes: This is used to bypass certain obstacles and groups of enemies. \n             The longer you stop time, the more Ki you use. The more Ki you \n             have, the longer you can stop time. To restart time press the Y \n             Button. It is important to note that you cannot hurt enemies or \n             throw ranged weapons while the Spell is active.\n\n  >>Forced Dance\n    ************\n      Description: Make the unfortunate victim dance. He is incapable of \n                   doing anything else!\n      Acquired: By completing the Doll Tengu Side-Quest near the end of the \n                game.\n      Feather Color: Brown.\n      Notes: This Spell will make any nearby enemies dance uncontrollably for \n             a very short time. Any enemies you attack will stop dancing. \n             Considering how much effort it requires to get the Feather \n             needed to acquire this Spell I find it to be surprisingly weak.\n\n            \/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\\\n \/=========================================================================\\\n| >GEN12.

Talk to the Village\nElder in front of you. He talks about the Samurai who have taken control of a\nnearby Bridge. Before going to the Bridge you should look around the Village.\nYou will find multiple Plants and Food.\n\n  **NOTE: There are six Anemone, two Sage, two Blade Moss, and plenty of \n          Burdock and Food here. This is useful for leveling yourself up \n          later in the game.\n\nTalking to most of the Villagers will provide some minor conversation. There\nwill be one in a barrel who will be important later in the game. One of the\nother Villagers will have a symbol above his head which starts a Side-Quest:\n\n  --Daisuke\n    =======\n      He is a herbalist in need. He is looking for some white flowers that \n      are sensitive to elemental spirits. They grow in a cave near the \n      Village. At the opposite end of the Village is a small cave where you \n      will find three Kyushu flowers. Take them back to him and he will \n      reward you with a Minor Healing Potion and Experience.\n\nFrom here, head to the Bridge to find two Samurai. Switch to Futo and defeat\nthem which will cause two more to appear. Defeat them and four more will\nappear. Defeat this group then return to the Elder. He will give you some\nExperience and tell you of the Tengu Hermit. This will result in the\ndestruction of the barriers leading into the next area.\n\nHead north past the barricade and you will find just up the path:\n\n  ++Tengu - Normal [The Tengu Hermit]\n    ---------------------------------\n\nHe needs his five Idols before he can tell you anything. They can all be\nfound in the open just up the pathway. As you grab them go into the small\nbushes for Blueberries. When you return to him with the Idols then he will\ntell you to warn the Village Elder and help your ninja friends.\n\n  **NOTE: This particular Tengu will be useful later in a Side-Quest. In \n          addition to the Blueberries there is also Spears of Ashida in this \n          area that is part of the leveling up process later.\n\nContinue north up the path and past the next barricade until you come up to a\nlarge clearing known as the Bamboo Forest. Just as you enter the clearing you\nwill see a small grassy plateau to your left. Also off to your left is:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Bamboo Forest)\n    ----------------------------\n\nNot far him is a large house, several Samurai tents, and multiple Samurai.\nSwitch to Futo and defeat them all. Then find and free Tora. He will tell you\nof a Villager that has taken his Ninja Claws. Go inside the nearby house and\ntalk to Kentaro. He has taken the claws for safekeeping. Take them from him\nand return to Tora.\n\n  **NOTE: There is a Book here that will be useful later in the game.\n\nWhen you return to Tora then you need to switch to Futo and escort the both\nof them, as Hiro, back to the Hermit. As you proceed you will be attacked by\nmultiple Samurai but they are not hard to deal with. In addition, if you move\ntoo far ahead then Futo will stop.\n\nOne strategy is to simply run away from Futo, defeat all of the Samurai\nbetween the camp and the Tengu Hermit, then run back to them and simply\nfollow them to the Hermit.\n\nWhen Tora is safely with the Hermit then talk to him again for Experience. He\nwill stay and defend the Village and will also mark the Castle on the Map for\nyou. You can go and talk to the Elder if you want even though you get no\nExperience from him.\n\nAs you go back to the Forest you can explore it to find Stone Caps by the\nhouse, a box of 10x Shuriken by one of the tents, and some Nuts at the north\nside of the area.\n\nAs you get near the end of the Forest you will have your first encounter with\nthe annoying Spears by the tunnel. There will be two of them. After defeating\nthem then proceed through the tunnel, where you will find some Spears of\nAshida, and into the next clearing which leads to the Mountain Path. Here you\nwill find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Normal\n    --------------\n\nHe will then tell you to help free his friends. From this point you will\nstart to encounter Caged Tengu. Proceed south down the path and you will find\nthree Samurai. Defeat them and free:\n\n     ==================\n  ++[Tengu #1 - Crafter]++\n     ==================\n\nTalking to the Crafter will give you a Sacred Lotus. You should use some of\nthe Burdock you collected to make a Minor Healing Potion with him. Near him\nis a Caged Animal which you should free for Experience. Proceed down the path\nto a large door that is protected by a Spirit Portal. It is guarded by three\nSpears. Defeat them and free:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #2 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nDestroy the Food Pots then go to the Spirit Portal for:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #1\n    *******************\n      Draw the background then cut out the house to reveal a bridge. A Spirit \n      will bounce up and down and you must draw the bridge in such a way to \n      allow you to cross safely. Draw the bridge when the Spirit just gets up \n      beyond the bridge.\n\nAfter crossing to the other side then turn right to find a Caged Animal and\n10x Shuriken (x3) near the main wall. Switch to Futo and head up the stairs.\nAs you reach the top then you will encounter two Samurai. After them then\nhead up the next set.\n\nWhen you reach the top then you will be attacked by three Archers which\nshould appear to your left. Deal with all of them then explore the area for\nPlants (there is some hard to find Shiitake plus Stone Caps here). Not far\nfrom the top of the stairs is:\n\n     ===============================\n  ++[Tengu #3 - Mage (Mountain Path)]++\n     ===============================\n\nSwitch back to Futo and proceed to the next door where you will find another\nSpirit Portal. As you get close then you will be attacked by three Spears.\nAfter defeating them proceed to the door. But, instead of switching to Hiro,\nproceed south along the wall. You will then encounter two Spears and an\nArcher. In the dead-end you will find a Caged Animal, a Tiger Lily, and:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #4 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nFrom here, return to the Spirit Portal, switch to Hiro, and begin:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #2\n    *******************\n      This is just like the first one except you have to do two bridges.\n\nAfter you get to the other side of the door then turn right to find a Caged\nAnimal. Switch to Futo and proceed further down the path to encounter three\nSamurai. After defeating them then go and free:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #5 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nContinue further to encounter four Archers and two Samurai. After them you\nwill find a Caged Animal. Near it, in a nook, is 10x Shuriken and 3x Bomb.\nJust before you get to the next door, and Spirit Portal, you will find:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #6 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nExplore the area to find two Blade Moss at the waterfall and two Oyster\nMushroom at the other end near the door. Then switch back to Hiro and go to\nthe Spirit Portal:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #3\n    *******************\n      This one requires you to draw the large Mechanism and Bridges. When you \n      get to the left side of the Mechanism then turn the gear to lift up the \n      left side. When you get past that then lift up on the stylus to let the \n      Mechanism drop back so you can safely pass.\n\nWhen you get to the other side then switch back to Futo. Follow the stream\nnorth into Spirit Valley and you will encounter two Samurai and a Spear as\nyou proceed northeast. Near where you fight them you will find:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #7 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nHe will also give you a Yellow Orb which is used to open the nearby door. The\ndoor requires three Orbs to open it and you only have one. Head back up the\nstream and to a clearing with some trees. Here you will find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Spirit Valley)\n    ----------------------------\n\nHe will also thank you for freeing his friend by giving you a Green Orb.\nContinue up the stream until you find a bridge and follow the path to another\nSpirit. This is the Earth Spirit and he requires a Clay Flower in order for\nyou to pass. He will also give you the Red Orb.\n\n  **NOTE: After acquiring the Red Orb then pick up every Plant in this area. \n          This will be helpful later.\n\nNow head back to the door and use the Orbs to open it. After opening it then\nput on your Ninja Hat and proceed down the river until you reach a clearing\nwhich will appear to your right. Not from from the riverbank is:\n\n  ++Tengu - Normal\n    --------------\n\nHe will also tell you about the Clay Flower. Proceed east to find the cove\nwhere the Clay Flower is located. However, as you approach it, then you will\nbe attacked by three Samurai. Where the Samurai came from are some\nRaspberries.\n\nClimb the nearby ledge to find four Anemone. At the north side of this area\nis a nook which contains a Caged Animal, Tiger Lilies, 10x Shuriken, and 3x\nBomb. However, there is a gap that must be jumped in order to reach them.\n\nWhen you are finished exploring and acquiring the Clay Flower then re-enter\nthe river. When you reach the end of the river then you will encounter two\nSpears and an Archer. Here you will find a Kuji Altar, Oyster Mushrooms, 10x\nShuriken, 3x Bomb, and:\n\n     ================================\n  ++[Tengu #8 - Mage (Mountain Gorge)]++\n     ================================\n\nHe will also give you an Orange Tengu Feather so you can use the Kuji Altar\nand get the Teleportation Spell so you can go back to Spirit Valley.\n\n  **NOTE: One option is to go back to the Bamboo Forest and go back to Spirit \n          Valley while re-fighting the enemies for additional Experience and \n          acquiring additional Plants, especially the Shiitake, Stone Caps, \n          and Burdock.\n\nWhen you get back to the Valley then head back to the:\n\n  >>Earth Spirit (Plane of Spirits #4)\n    **********************************\n      This one is different in that you must fight the Earth Spirit so you \n      can pass. After drawing the symbol then you will meet the Elemental. \n      Draw along the dotted lines to create a breakable Wall that will \n      protect you. When the Elemental swings his sword then it will hit the \n      Wall, destroying it, and bounce his weapon back in its face which will \n      stun it for a short time.\n\n      While he is stunned then you will see small Spirits appear around him. \n      Tap them with the Hammer to make them disappear and reduce the \n      Elemental's Health Line. When the he gets back up then redraw the Wall \n      and repeat the process until the Elemental is defeated and you will be \n      able to pass to the next area.\n\n      All the fights with the other Elementals in the game go the same way. \n      The only difference is that they will get up a bit faster thus drawing \n      the battle out.\n\nAfter defeating the Spirit then head west down the path to encounter three\nSamurai and a Caged Animal. You will find another Caged Animal and an Oyster\nMushroom on a ledge just below you. Continue down the path to find a nook to\nyour left. Here you will encounter two more Samurai. Enter the nook to find\n10x Shuriken (x3) and:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #9 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nOn a small plateau not far from the nook is an Archer. Continue north up the\npath to find a large bridge where you will encounter two Samurai and an\nArcher. Go to the other side of the bridge where you will find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Castle Path)\n    --------------------------\n\nContinue along the path to find three Spears. By the wall to the right of the\nentranceway is 3x Bomb. On the other side of the entranceway and beside it\nare two Food Pots. To the left will be 3x Bomb and 10x Shuriken. Also just\nbeyond the entranceway is your first Clubber. Use your Bombs to soften him up\n(pick up the nearby boxes to add more when you run low) then switch to Futo\nand finish him off if you run out of Bombs.\n\nYou will then obtain a Green Orb which is used to open the door ahead and\ninto the next area (don't forget to pick up some of the Stone Caps just\nbefore the door).\n\n   0=+=+=+=+=0\n  \/ Chapter 2 \\\n \/+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\\\n| >ERH2.

Some of them will have blades that will swipe\ndown and you must time your jumps carefully. When you reach the end then wall\njump the nook to climb up. A Spear will be waiting for you at the top (plus\n10x Shuriken). After defeating him them jump the gap and proceed east where\nyou will find another Spear and a door.\n\nThe door leads inside the Castle. When you get inside then you will find\nyourself on one of the upper levels. You will find beams plus a ramp that\nleads up to a higher level. Most of the beams are blocked by a pillar. Those\nthat aren't have moving spikes that you must time your jumps over.\n\nWhat makes this part annoying is the Camera and D-Pad. It is tricky to keep\nstraight on the beam, especially when trying to jump over the spikes.\n\nIf you want you can avoid dealing with the spikes and do an angled jump onto\na beam that is blocked by a pillar. However, if you miss and drop down to the\nground floor then you will encounter multiple Samurai including three that\nwill appear on the second floor by some Weapons (10x Shuriken and 3x Super\nShuriken).\n\nThere are some stairs in one corner that you can use to climb back up. It\nshould be noted that you will be injured if you fall to the ground floor from\nthe beams.\n\nOn the third floor in one corner is 3x Bomb and 10x Shuriken (in another\ncorner are two food Pots). When you make your way to the ramp then head up to\nthe next floor. Food Pots in one corner. On one end is a Spirit Portal which\nleads to:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #5\n    *******************\n      After drawing the environment then you must cut out a section of the \n      background. When it falls then you will climb inside of it and you must \n      Blow into or Rub the Microphone to make it move up and to the other \n      side to safely cross. There is a Spirit that will move back and forth \n      and you must time things to get past him.\n\nWhen you get to the other side then you will find yourself on the roof above\nthe main entrance of the Castle. Head west to the back end to find a couple\nof ramps that lead to the level above you. On the platform at the end of the\nfirst ramp will be a trio of Archers (plus 3x Bomb and 10x Shuriken near\nthem).\n\nIf you happen to fall off the ramps or platforms during the battle then you\nwill encounter several Samurai including a Clubber on the area below (there\nwill be 10x Shuriken and 3x Super Shuriken in a corner plus a Food Pot).\nWorse, after defeating them, you must go back down to ground level and\nre-climb the entire way back. When you defeat the Archers and climb the\nsecond ramp then you will find:\n\n     ============================\n  ++[Tengu #14 - Mage (Top Floor)]++\n     ============================\n\nHe will give you additional Experience for freeing all of his other friends.\nHe is also the last Mage before your first boss fight:\n\n   0=+=+=+=+=0\n  \/ Chapter 2 \\\n \/+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\\\n| >ERH3.

In addition, you must use your Shurikens to damage his head.\nMost of the time he will bend down and fire large swords from the barrel\nattached on his back. You cannot hit his head when he is firing and your\nShurikens will bounce off of the barrel.\n\nUse the pillars as cover until he starts to move towards you. When he does\nthen fire at his head. After several hits then he will fall stunned. This\nwill also open up a hatch in his chest that reveals a Green Orb that you must\ndamage to defeat him. Jump down and use your Katana to damage the Orb.\n\nHe will get up after a certain amount of time has passed or you take off\nabout a quarter of his health. Using the Strange Brew Potion doesn't really\nwork as all it will do is make him get up quicker instead of taking off more\nhealth. Once he gets up then you must damage his head again to re-open the\nhatch.\n\nShurikens will re-generate in the corners of the upper level, along with Food\nPots, to aid you.

You will encounter four more Samurai.\nWhen you get back to where you started then turn towards the Possession area.\nPossess the small Fox and proceed through the tunnel to the other side. When\nyou get there you will meet up with Suzume who will now join the group.\n\nSpend some time Meditating to regain your Ki and Stamina then proceed to\nexplore this area before entering the river. You will encounter two Samurai\nand an Archer at the east part of this area. Near them you will find a Caged\nAnimal, some Nuts, and some Anemone. There are also additional Plants here\nincluding Burdock.\n\nEnter the river and pilot your Ninja Hat around the multiple rocks. Partway\ndown the river you will encounter some Archers on the shoreline but you can't\ndo anything to them so continue down the river. Eventually you will find a\nclearing off to your right. When you get on shore you will encounter two\nSpears, two Samurai, three Archers, and a Captain. After dealing with them\nthen head towards west wall to find:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #3 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nHe will also give you a letter to give to a friend.

She has picked up some Apples for \n      it to eat. Go to the south end of the beach to find the Fox. Free it \n      then return to her. She will mention that it didn't stay to eat the \n      Apples so she gives them to you instead (2x Apples). You will get a lot \n      of Experience as well.\n\nAfter exploring this area, where you will find some Oyster Mushrooms, then\nre-enter the river in your Ninja Hat. You will also encounter more Archers,\nthis time on a bridge. But just ignore them and continue down the river.\n\nAt the end of the river is a large lagoon called Dusk Isles which has several\nsmall islands, some of them connected by bridges. The sandy islands are where\nyou can get some Watercress. One of them will have 10x Shuriken, 3x Super\nShuriken, and two Archers. Go to the center island and climb up to find:\n\n  --Otto\n    ====\n      His wife made him sushi but a big Samurai has taken it. This Samurai, a \n      Clubber, is on the island at the end of the bridge to the south. Use \n      your Bombs to soften him up then use some of your Shurikens to soften \n      him up further.\n\n      Then switch to Futo and finish him off. You will be given the Sushi \n      after you defeat him. Take it back to Otto to get some Experience.

You will get some Experience for\ntalking to her.\n\nProceed past Tsuma to find a gate plus 10x Shuriken and 10x Dart. When you\nget close it will open for you. If you didn't defeat the Clubber first then\nit will remain closed. Go down the tunnel, where you will find some Blade\nMoss within, to find a small river.\n\nHowever, stay to the left of it to find two Archers that you can defeat for\nadditional Experience. There is some Shiitake here plus drop off edge to find\nmore Shiitake plus 10x Shuriken and 10x Dart on the ledge below. Re-enter the\nriver and drop down into a lagoon. Go onto shore, where you will find an\nOyster Mushroom, and enter the tunnel to find:\n\n  --Kikkawa\n    =======\n      He talks about the Ghosts in the Village and the Samurai. He can escape \n      if you can defeat the Samurai. Go back to the shore you came from and \n      defeat the three Archers there. Talk to Kikkawa again and he will give \n      you 5x Sleeping Darts and Experience.\n\nAfter talking to him then proceed forward until you reach the Night Village.\nYou will also start to encounter Ghosts. Go to the center to talk to the\nVillage Elder who will tell you of the Kuji Altar at the other side of the\nVillage and gives you a Silver Tengu Feather and a Green Orb.\n\nAt the west side of the Village is the bridge but it is destroyed. At the\nnortheast corner is the Night Spirit and the southeast corner is the Cemetery\nbut you can't get inside yet. At the north side is:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Night Village)\n    ----------------------------\n\nAt the northwest corner is a gate that can be opened with the Green Orb. Go\nthrough the gate and follow the path. You will have to jump some gaps along\nthe path. Most of the way along you will encounter two Archers.\n\nJust after you get past them you will find a Lever on the wall that opens the\ngate ahead. Switch to Futo and swing your Hammer to flip it then proceed\nforward to fight the Captain ahead. After fighting him then go to the east\nend of this area to find a Tiger Lily and:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #5 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nProceed through the nearby gate to encounter two Spears and a Captain. In\nthis area you will find a Blue Petal, 10x Shuriken and 3x Bomb on the bridge,\nBlueberries in one of the bushes, and a Kuji Altar. At this point you will\nhave two Tengu Feathers - Red and Silver. Drop both of them to obtain the\nFireball and Exorcism Spells.\n\nFrom here, then head back to the Village. When you reach the Village then use\nthe Exorcism Spell to get rid of the two Ghosts which will cause two more to\nappear. Get rid of them and you will free the Village. Talk to the Village\nElder to get the Key to the Cemetery and Experience.\n\n  **NOTE: There is a couple of Sage here in the Village which is used for \n          leveling up later in the game.\n\nGo through the gate to the Cemetery and when you get there then you will find\nanother Ghost. Get rid of it then talk to:\n\n  --Aniki\n    =====\n      He has been dreaming about his brother for several nights. He went to \n      his grave and saw his spirit. He wants your help in passing his brother \n      to the other side.\n\n      Go to one of the nearby Tombstones and you will be allowed to Speak. \n      A Ghost will appear and you need to hit it with the Exorcism Spell to \n      make it go away. Go back to Aniki and he will give you a Major Healing \n      Potion and Experience.\n\nIn one corner of this area is a:\n\n  ++Tengu - Crafter\n    ---------------\n\nUse him to build up some Minor and Major Healing Potions. After this then\nhead back to the Village. Explore the Village for additional Plants and you\nwill find 3x Bomb and 10x Shuriken behind one of the buildings.

At the northwest corner of this area you will find two Archers. Use\nyour Fireball to get rid of them. Another one will appear and you should do\nthe same. Once all of the Archers are gone then wall run to where they just\nwhere. In one of these nooks you will find:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #6 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nThis particular Tengu is often easy to miss because most people would rather\njust avoid fighting the Archers. In another nook nearby you will find 10x\nShuriken (x2) and 10x Dart. After this then wall run back to where you\nstarted. Because of how the walls are shaped you cannot wall run to the\nopposite side of the bridge to avoid the Spirit Portal. Go to the Portal and\ninto:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #7\n    *******************\n      After drawing the background then you have to cut out the center. This \n      reveals two bridges connected by a center island. There is a Spirit \n      that goes around the island in a clockwise pattern. Draw the second \n      bridge first. Then draw the first one when the Spirit comes up and \n      moves away from it.\n\nAfter going to the other end of the bridge then you will find a door.\nHowever, it is locked. Turn right and head south to find a Lever. Activate it\nthen go through the door. Switch to Futo and attack the Samurai that will\nappear to your left. After that then turn right and head up the hill to find\ntwo Spears and an Archer. Nearby where they appear is:\n\n     ============================\n  ++[Tengu #7 - Mage (Watchtower)]++\n     ============================\n\nAround this Watchtower you will find some Food Pots plus 3x Bomb and 10x\nDart.

You will find some bushes here and there is also someone within\nthem:\n\n  --Jide\n    ====\n      He will give you a Ninja Doll in exchange for not telling anybody he is \n      hiding. This Doll is useful for later.\n\nAs you are talking to him two Samurai will appear in the path ahead. After\ndealing with them then proceed further to encounter two more Samurai. At the\nend of this path is a Acid Pit area with several islands that you have to\njump to get to the other side. As you're jumping you also have to dodge Acid\nGeysers. If you fall in then you will die.\n\nWhen you get to the first island then stop and use your Fireball to take down\nthe Archer at the other side. When he is gone then two Spears will appear.\nYou may be able to get one of the two Spears from your position with the\nFireball. In one corner of this area is a Lever that opens the door ahead.\nUse your Shuriken to activate it.\n\nJump to the second island and use your Fireball to get rid of the second\nSpear. Then jump to the other end and then to a platform nearby to free a\nCaged Animal. After jumping back to land then turn right and jump over the\nnearby wall. Here you will find a Tengu and this will start the following:\n\n  >>The Doll Tengu Side-Quest\n    *************************\n      This particular Tengu, which I will call the Doll Tengu, wants to \n      collect all five of the Legendary Dolls. He has already found one and \n      you have another, the Ninja. Collecting them all will unleash their \n      power. Giving him the Ninja Doll will give you Experience plus three \n      Minor Healing Potions.\n\n      Giving him all of the Dolls will reward you with the Brown Tengu \n      Feather which is used to acquire the Forced Dance Spell. At this point, \n      after giving him the Ninja Doll, you have three left which can be \n      acquired from the following people later in the game:\n\n        --Yuki (Night Village) - The Villager Doll\n        --Lozaki (Snow Castle) - The Tengu Doll\n        --Tamago (Living Tower) - The Ninja Master Doll\n\n      Of course, you will need to do additional tasks and Side-Quests to get \n      the Dolls. You will also find 10x Shuriken (x2) and 10x Dart near the \n      Doll Tengu.\n\nAfter staring this Side-Quest then jump the wall and continue down the path\nto the next door. Switch to Futo and enter. Here you will encounter five\nSamurai and one Spear. There will be Food Pots near where you enter.\n\nGo through the next door to find the Exterior Courtyard area. If you turn\nleft and proceed to the next door you will find it locked. The Lever is on an\nupper level within the Courtyard. Hidden in the bushes near both doors are\nWeapons (right of the door is 3x Super Shuriken, left of the door is 10x\nShuriken).\n\nWhen you head inside the Courtyard you will be attacked by three Spears. At\nthis point Archers will appear on the rooftops. Switch to Hiro and put on\nyour Ninja Hat. Use the small building to jump onto the rooftops and deal\nwith the Archers using a combination of your Katana and Shurikens.\n\nJump from rooftop to rooftop, while dealing with the Archers, until you reach\nthe northeast corner where you will find a pair of Samurai on a lower\nplatform. You have to run and jump to reach this area. As you are fighting\nthem a third Samurai will appear. After defeating them then you will find the\nLever in the corner.\n\nActivate the Lever then drop down to ground level. Head south and loop around\nthe south end of the large building. In a nook on the west side of this\nbuilding you will find:\n\n     ====================================\n  ++[Tengu #8 - Mage (Exterior Courtyard)]++\n     ====================================\n\nAt this point you will be attacked by two Samurai and a Captain. Continue\nnorth to find two Samurai and an Archer. As you get near the next door you\nwill encounter four Spears and a Samurai. Go through the door to find a\nSamurai and a Captain. Near the door where you enter are a couple of Food\nPots.\n\nProceed through the next door to find three Spears. Here you will also find\nWeapons hidden in the bushes (the left one has 3x Super Shuriken, the right\none has 10x Dart) and a couple of Caged Animals. Go through the next door and\nhead up the stairs to find three Samurai. You will also find a Food Pot plus\n3x Bomb hidden in the bushes.\n\nYou will also find another Acid Pit area with several platforms and islands.\nOn one nearby platform you will find an Archer. Use your Fireball against him\nthen use your Shurikens on the other enemy on the far island in the\nbackground. After dealing with them then drop down to a lower platform to\nfind:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #9 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nThen jump back up and either jump the platforms or wall run to the second\nhalf of this area. On the platform at the northwest corner of this area is a\nCaged Animal. On the other end of this area are three Archers. Jump to the\nlarge island and use your Fireballs and Shurikens to get rid of them.

You have to Blow into \n      or Rub the Microphone to get the piece of paper to move into the gap in \n      the middle of the Mechanism.\n\n      For some reason this particular puzzle is very finicky in regards to \n      Blowing into the Microphone. I spent a lot of time trying to make the \n      paper move but the game would refuse to do what I wanted. Therefore it \n      is best to Rub the Microphone for this puzzle.\n\n      As the paper moves into postion then Rotate the wheel to lift the left \n      side of the Mechanism before the Spirit moves down far enough to touch \n      you. When the paper is in place then you will move inside. Lift the \n      stylus to drop the Mechanism to allow for safe passage.\n\nWhen you get to the other side then you will be inside the Interior\nCourtyard. Here you will find two Captains and a Clubber. There will be\nmultiple Food Pots in the open and Weapons in the bushes (in the southwest\ncorner is 3x Smoke Bomb, in the northwest corner is 3x Bomb, and in the\nsoutheast corner is 3x Super Shuriken).\n\nSwitch to Futo and go after the Captains while avoiding the Clubber. After\ndefeating the Captains then switch to Suzume, grab the Smoke Bombs, and use\none of them to stun the Clubber and switch to Futo to attack him. When the\nClubber gets up then use another Smoke Bomb and repeat until the Clubber is\ndefeated. When you defeat him then it will leave behind a Minor Healing\nPotion.

He will tell you that the\nSamurai has stolen the food supplies. He wants you to find the supplies and\ndistribute them to the Villagers. There are a total of five Villagers to feed\nand twelve Sacks of Rice to find before you can proceed to the other side of\nthe area. Most of the Rice can be found in the rice fields not far from the\nVillage. The rest can be found at the Great Canyon. I will go there first.\n\nHead east to find a path that is blocked off at the end. There are also two\nlarge gates here that lead to both of the rice fields. But you will also find\na Chicken. You need to Possess it and go through the small tunnel to the\nother side and to the Great Canyon.\n\nWhen you get there and change back then you will be greeted by two Spears and\na Samurai. Head to the south end to find one Sack and back towards the middle\nto find two more. Across from these two Sacks is the other end of the blocked\npath where you will find 10x Shuriken and 10x Dart. Head to the north end of\nthis area to find two Spears and an Archer. There will also be a Caged Animal\nand:\n\n     ==============================\n  ++[Tengu #1 - Mage (Great Canyon)]++\n     ==============================\n\nHead back to the south end and to the cliffside where the path ends. Go over\nthe edge to a ledge below. Then drop down into the water and swim to the\nnorth end. Go up the shore and climb back up. As you do so you will find some\nBlue Petals. About halfway you should see a tunnel you have to climb up into.\nThere will be a bush off to the right. A Sack of Rice is hidden in that bush.\n\nAfter obtaining it then climb up into the tunnel, where you will find some\nOyster Mushrooms, and drop down onto the next ledge. Jump the gaps until you\nreach the last ledge, picking up the Tiger Lilies along the way, then climb\nback up to the path.\n\nIt should be pointed out that this is a one-way path. If you drop down onto\nthe ledge and jump the gaps to the tunnel you will find that you are not\nallowed to climb up into it.\n\nNow that I'm back up on the path there is something else I'm going to do\nbefore going back to the Village. Go back to the Mage and Teleport back to\nthe Night Village. Go to the broken bridge to find a woman standing there.\nTalk to her to start:\n\n  >>The Yuki Side-Quest\n    *******************\n      Yuki is a woman who asks Hiro to help find her a husband. She is very \n      shy and notes that Hiro has met many people. She wants him to introduce \n      her to some men. There are five potential candidates to find in the \n      game:\n\n        --Yotaro (Earth Village)\n        --Keiichi (Night Village)\n        --Kasu (Water Wilderness)\n        --Nyaki (Snow Wilderness)\n        --Yamamoto (Fire Wilderness)\n\n      However, you only need to find a minimum of three. When you have found \n      at least three, if not all, of the candidates then return to her and \n      she will choose which one of them to be her husband.\n\n      After that then you have to go back to the fiance to tell him of the \n      news then go back to Yuki to be rewarded with a bunch of Experience, a <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      Major Healing Potion, and the Villager Doll which is used for the Doll \n      Tengu Side-Quest.\n\n      It is important to note that she may decide not to get married \n      regardless of how many of the candidates you set up for her. You can \n      still get the Villager Doll and a Minor Healing Potion by talking to \n      Yuki and her parents who are standing nearby.\n\nNow that I have set things up let's go to the first candidate which can be\nfound not too far from here. Head back towards the Kuji Altar on the opposite\nside of the Village. You'll have to fight the two Archers and Captain again.\nAfter fighting them off then head to the west side of this area to find:\n\n  --Keiichi (Yuki Side-Quest Candidate #1)\n    ======================================\n      He can't stop thinking about Yuki and wants to write her a poem. He \n      thinks that you can get some inspiration from a Book. Head back to the \n      Night Village and to the Mage. Teleport to the Bamboo Forest (Earth \n      Wilderness) and re-enter the nearby home of Kentaro. Go to him and \n      there will be a table to his left. On it is a Book.\n\n      Read it to get the Poem and Teleport back to the Night Village. Go back \n      to Keiichi (and re-fight the two Archers and Captain again) and talk to \n      him to set things up.\n\nAfter finishing with him then head to the nearby Kuji Altar (and defeat the\ntwo Spears and Captain there again). You have the Blue Tengu Feather you\nobtained for defeating Windy Pants. So drop it here to get the Energy Shield\nSpell.\n\nNow that you have this Spell you have the option to use it to protect Hiro\nand use him in melee combat instead of Futo despite not being as strong as\nhim. You can always back away from combat and Meditate to replenish your Ki\nand therefore replenish your Shield.\n\nAfter starting the Yuki Side-Quest and obtaining the Energy Shield Spell then\ngo back to the Night Village then Teleport back to Great Canyon (Water\nWilderness). Beware! The two Spears will re-appear on top of you as you walk\naway from the Tengu. Quickly dispatch of them before they take off too much\nhealth (unless you use your newly acquired Energy Shield Spell).\n\nAll of the other enemies that you fought before will re-appear as you near\nthe small tunnel back to the Village. Defeat them again before doing anything\nelse. Then Possess the Frog and go through the small tunnel again.\n\nNow it is time to go into the rice fields for the remaining Sacks of Rice. To\nstart, go into the south field. Take the first Sack of Rice you see and\ndefeat the three Samurai you encounter. Just after you enter you should find\ntwo more Sacks of Rice to your right. Proceed to the upper level of the field\nto find a Captain and two Archers. You will also find:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #2 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nYou will also find a Sack of Rice and a Villager. Talk to the Villager to\ngive him a Sack of Rice.\n\nNow head out of this field and go into the north field. Take the Sack of Rice\nyou find as you enter and deal with the two Samurai you encounter. After you\nenter you should see another Sack to your right. Proceed to the upper level\nwhere you will encounter a Samurai, two Archers, and a Captain. You will also\nfind some 3x Sleeping Dart and 3x Bomb, two Sacks of Rice, and two Villagers.\nGrab the Sacks and talk to both Villagers to feed them.\n\nThen head back to the Village and find the two other Villagers left to feed\nbefore talking to the Elder. If you didn't grab the four Sacks of Rice at the\nGreat Canyon then he will request that you find them and won't open the\nnearby gate, which leads to the other side of the area, until you get them.\n\nBut, since I went to the Great Canyon first, talking to him will finish with\nthis quest and he will open the gate so you can continue. Before leaving you\nshould explore the Village first for Plants (there are some Burdock and\nAnemone here) and some Apples.\n\nWhen you are done exploring then go through the gate and into a tunnel that\nleads to a large circular cave (you will find some Spear of Ashida along the\nway). At the top here you will find 3x Super Shuriken. The path winds down\nalong the side of the cave (you will find some Shiitake along the way). The\ncamera and D-Pad makes this part a little tricky because it is hard to see\nwhat you are doing.\n\nWhen you reach the bottom then you will find a path that leads to an\nunderground river (you'll also find some Stone Caps too). Navigate it and you\nwill find the:\n\n  >>Water Spirit (Plane of Spirits #9)\n    **********************************\n\nAfter defeating the Water Spirit then proceed to the end and into the Portal.\nYou will find yourself in a cave that has some Spears of Ashida inside. This\ncave leads into a larger circular cave similar to the one you were in\nearlier.\n\nHowever, you need to climb up this time. In addition, you will need to fight\noff two Archers at the start. Use the Fireball Spell on them then climb the\npath. As before, the camera and D-Pad makes this problematic. When you reach\nthe top then switch to Futo and go through the tunnel, where you will find\nsome Stone Caps, and into the wilderness.\n\nAs you leave the tunnel two Spears will appear to your left. After defeating\nthem then head southwest a bit to find two Caged Animals (Raccoons). Then\nhead to the north end of this area to find multiple Burdock, Raspberries, a\nKuji Altar, and a Tengu Crafter.\n\nIf you look at the Map you will see that you need to activate two Levers to\nopen the main Gate into the Castle. Head back to the path and just east of\nthe tunnel you will find:\n\n  --Mayumi\n    ======\n      She wants you to free some Tanuki that the Samurai have captured. The \n      Tanuki are the Raccoons you freed after defeating the Spears earlier. \n      She will give you some Experience.\n\nAfter Mayumi then head down the path to find two Samurai and a Captain\n(you'll also find some Spears of Ashida and an Anemone too). Near them is a\nCaged Animal. Continue down the path to find a river. Go into the river and\nyou will find a tunnel nearby. Go through this tunnel to enter an area\npopulated with tall square stone towers. You will also encounter two Spears\nand a Captain as you proceed.\n\nYou will find the first Lever on the north side of the east end of this area.\nYou'll find some Spears of Ashida by the towers plus some Blade Moss in the\ntunnel. At the very east end, by the edge, is:\n\n  --Kasu (Yuki Side-Quest Candidate #2)\n    ===================================\n      He is jealous that one of his friends got married so he decides to get \n      married too. Hiro tells him of Yuki and Kasu needs something simple and \n      romantic to give to her. A bouquet of flowers may work in this \n      instance. He wants you to find him a Tiger Lily to help make such a \n      bouquet. Simply give him one of your Tiger Lilies to finish setting \n      him up.\n\nNear him is some 10x Shuriken and 10x Dart. Go back to the river or simply\ndrop down into the Sunken Village below. One of the sunken houses has some\nStone Caps. On another one of the houses at the west side of the area are two\nArchers plus:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Sunken Village)\n    -----------------------------\n\n  **NOTE: This is the Caged Tengu that does not count towards the others.\n\nFrom here, head to the island at the northeast corner of the Village. It has\na very tall tower. When you reach shore then you will encounter a Samurai and\na Captain. You will also find another Samurai behind the tower. You will also\nfind some Plants at the base including an Oyster Mushroom.\n\nYou need to climb the tower, starting at the southwest corner, and jump some\ngaps as you proceed. Near the top is the last Lever to open the main Gate.\nHowever, after activating the Lever, wall jump up the nearby nook to the very\ntop to find 3x Sleeping Dart, 3x Super Shuriken, some Oyster Mushrooms, and:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #3 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nDrop down and head to the main Gate. Here you will find a Clubber. Switch to\nSuzume and use either the Sleeping Dart or Smoke Bomb to stun it then switch\nto Futo to damage him. Switch back when he gets up and repeat until you\ndefeat him. He will leave behind a Major Healing Potion. Then head up to the\nGate to enter the next area.\n\n   0=+=+=+=+=0\n  \/ Chapter 4 \\\n \/+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\\\n| >WTR2.

There are Food Pots situated in the nooks by the stairs.\n\nOn the next level above you will encounter two additional Archers and find 3x\nSmoke Bomb, 10x Dart, and 10x Shuriken. On both of the paths that lead up\ninto the next room you will find two Spears and an Archer. When you enter\ninto the next room you will find a Captain and a Samurai.\n\nAfter this then wall jump up the nook in the center of the room to reach the\ntop. Go out the window then turn right and go around the corner to find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Outer Walls)\n    --------------------------\n\nOn the opposite side you will find 10x Shuriken (x2), 10x Dart, plus a\nVillager:\n\n  --Nikku\n    =====\n      She will give you some 5x Super Shurikens for talking to her. When you \n      free the last Tengu Mage in the Castle (Rusty Grate) then Teleport back \n      to the Outer Walls and talk to her again and she will give you a Sacred \n      Lotus.\n\nJump the gap between this side of the roof and the landing. There is a Gate\nhere but you can't go through it at this time. Head south to find a bridge\nprotected by rolling spiked logs. There are two on the bridge and two above.\nYou can easily time your jumps to avoid the logs.\n\nWhen you are safely across then head north to the next door. As you get near\nyou will encounter two Spears. You will encounter two Samurai when you get\ninside. A Captain will spawn further down after you get rid of the Samurai.\nContinue down the hallway and you will find the doors leading into Timid\nSwimmer's lair. However, you can't get the doors open yet as the center is\nopen and filled with poisonous water.\n\nIn this area you will find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Heart of the Castle)\n    ----------------------------------\n\nYou will also find a couple of Food Pots plus 10x Dart and 10x Shuriken here\nas well. Proceed out the other side to find two Samurai and a Captain. In the\nnext room you will find a Clubber and two Archers on the upper level in the\ncenter. There are also some 3x Bomb, 3x Smoke Bomb, and Food Pots on the\nlower level here.\n\nGo into the hallway on the other side. When you are in the hallway then you\nwill encounter three Samurai. You will also find a Prison Cell but you don't\nhave the key to open it yet. The Clubber in the large room has it. Continue\ndown the hall and turn right at the junction.\n\nWhen you reach the Clubber then use Suzume to launch a Smoke Bomb to stun\nthem all and switch to Futo. Get rid of the two Archers first - even with the\nNinja Hat they will make quick work of you when the smoke dissipates if you\nfocus on the Clubber first. When the cloud dissipates then switch back to\nSuzume to launch another Smoke Bomb and focus on the Clubber.\n\nAfter defeating the Clubber then you will get the Prison Key and a Minor\nHealing Potion. Go back into the hallway and continue straight to find two\nSpears and an Archer. You will also find another Prison Cell but continue\nahead. Eventually you will find the gate that leads back outside near where\nyou started. You will also find two Spears and a Samurai you can defeat for\nExperience if you want.\n\nGo all the way back to the first Prison Cell to find:\n\n     ==================\n  ++[Tengu #4 - Crafter]++\n     ==================\n\nHe will also give you a 2x Blue Petal. Go to the second Prison Cell to find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Normal\n    --------------\n\nHe will tell you that the others have escaped.

You have to speak to a special \n      tree to get what you need.\n\n        **NOTE: If you want to go with the minimum of three fiances for Yuki \n                then skip this guy.\n\nHead out of the cave and towards the west side to find a nook that you need\nto wall jump. After wall jumping then you need to proceed up the way where\nyou will find some large gaps (you'll find some Sage here too). You need to\nwall run to get past them. After you get past the second gap then you will\nfind a couple of Blue Petals. Proceed further to find Shun.\n\nBut you can't get past him. He warns of the bitter cold beyond this area. He\nrecommends a tailor who can help make you a warm coat for you. The tailor is\nthe caged person inside the camp. So now you need to go back down and free\nhim:\n\n  --Kunitto\n    =======\n      If you have the Cloth then he will tell you that he needs some Needles \n      and Dye. Just southwest of him, in a nook is Nideru. He can help but \n      you need to have the Wood first. Give him the Wood you found earlier \n      and he will make the Needles.\n\n      For the Dye you need the Mortar and Wild Berry. You will also need to \n      go back to Dayamaka in the forest. Go back into the forest and along \n      the main path. When you reach the junction, near where you found the \n      Wild Berry, then turn left and follow it to the end to find her. She \n      will then give you the Blue Dye.\n\n      Return to Kunitto and wait for awhile before you can go and get the \n      Cape. He also warns that you can't use it in battle.\n\nAfter this then go back to Shun. Just beyond him you will find a trio of\nAnemone and:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Blizzard Path)\n    ----------------------------\n\nAnd, now that I've found this Mage, I am going to do the following:\n\n  >>Leveling Up\n    ***********\n      At this point I am going to grind my characters up to Level 15 \n      Experience using the Afterbosses at the Water Castle plus the Anemone \n      and Sage I have collected and will continue to collect. You don't \n      really have to do this but it will be beneficial in that it will make \n      the later chapters easier and you can skip a lot of the smaller \n      Side-Quests.\n\n      I'm taking advantage of the regeneration aspect of Teleporting and \n      acquiring large amounts of Anemone and Sage. When I have acquired 99 \n      Anemone then I go back to the Water Castle and exchange them for \n      Experience with Yoshiko and Akiko. Don't use the Shiitake - save them \n      for the Supreme Ginseng later.\n\n      You can get just a little more than one complete Level on each visit. \n      At this point, if you've done everything right, you should be at Level \n      8. So you would need to move up seven more Levels before maxing out.\n\n      In addition to the Anemone and Sage I am also collecting additional \n      Plants and Food to give me a healthy amount of most everything. All the \n      little notes I have made in previous chapters will now come into play.\n\n      Here's the order of things:\n\n      From this Mage, Teleport back to Earth Wilderness (Bamboo Forest). \n      Collect the nearby Stone Caps and head back down the path to the \n      Village. Collect the Spears of Ashida and Blueberries along the way. \n      When you get back to the Village then collect all of the Food, all six \n      Anemone, both of the Sage, and both Blade Moss.\n\n      After that then head back to the Mage and Teleport to the Night \n      Wilderness (Dark Forest). Fight the Samurai and collect the three \n      Anemone and all the Burdock. Use the Raspberries to heal from the \n      fighting. Even though there are more Anemone beyond the small tunnel it \n      is best to leave those alone. It's faster that way.\n\n      Head back to the Mage and Teleport to the Night Wilderness (Dusk \n      Isles). Grab the Oyster Mushroom nearby and go back down to the beach \n      to grab the three Anemone.\n\n      Go back to the Mage and Teleport to the Night Wilderness (Night \n      Village). Grab the two Sage and the Burdock.\n\n      Go back to the Mage and Teleport to the Snow Wilderness (Blizzard \n      Path). Grab the three Anemone nearby, go back to the Mage, and repeat \n      the entire process.\n\n      When you have maxed out your Anemone then Teleport to the Water Castle \n      (Heart of the Castle) and go to the Afterbosses to trade in your haul. \n      Then continue collecting Anemone and Sage and trading them in until you \n      reach Level 15.\n\n      It takes a while to do this but it really isn't that bad. Use Suzume \n      for her speed and switch to Futo when you need to fight.\n\nThere is also something else that needs to be done and it can be done while\nleveling up if you're so inclined. Teleport to the Earth Wilderness (Bamboo\nForest) and go back to the Village. Just southeast of the bridge you will\nfind:\n\n  --Yotaro (Yuki Side-Quest Candidate #4)\n    =====================================\n      He was the one that was hidden in the barrel earlier in the game. He is \n      a bit of a coward and doesn't feel that Yuki would want him. However, \n      he thinks that writing about great battles could sway her decision. To \n      finish this book he wants you to tell him of three epic combats.\n\n      These are the Boss Battles you have fought and you need to defeat Timid \n      Swimmer before you can set up Yotaro.\n\n        **NOTE: Since he is the third one you have set up you have the option \n                of going back to Yuki to finish her Side-Quest or waiting \n                until you have set up the last two before doing so.\n\nWhen you have done leveling up and\/or finishing up the Yuki Side-Quest then\nTeleport back to the Snow Wilderness (Blizzard Path). Drop down into the\ntunnel below which is on the other side of the door. On one side is a Portal\nthat leads to an upper area at the southwest corner of the camp. On the other\nside of a gap is some Anemone.\n\nOpposite of the Portal is a tunnel that leads outside. You will also notice\nsnow falling. When you see snow falling then put on the Cape as this\nindicates a very cold area. If you don't put on the Cape then you will lose\nHealth. When the snow stops then take it off as you can't fight with it on.\n\nAfter a short distance you will reach a long bridge. Take off the Cape when\nyou reach it. You will then encounter two Spears and a Captain. Head to the\nother end of the bridge to fight two Spears then a Clubber. From here, you\nshould find a Spirit Portal:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #12\n    ********************\n      After drawing the background you need to get past the house. There are \n      two Spirits, one to each side. There are three breakable Walls, two \n      that holds up the house and one before. Break the one on the left side \n      of the house then the one before the house (before the first Spirit can \n      come down and touch you).\n\n      This will put you on the left part of the roof. When the second Spirit \n      is at the top of the screen then quickly break the last Wall to \n      catapult yourself off the right side of the screen to safety.\n\nWhen you get to the other side you will still be on the bridge. Turn right to\nfind 3x Super Shuriken and 3x Bomb. Go down the bridge a bit to encounter two\nSamurai and a Captain. After that then put on the Cape and continue. Snow\nwill fall just after the bridge. Follow the way into a larger area then take\noff your Cape just when you get past the snowfall so you can fight off two\nSamurai and a Captain.\n\nOff to your left is a dead-end path that leads to a large door. At the start\nof this path is a Caged Animal plus 10x Shuriken and 10x Dart. Head to the\ndoor to find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Crafter\n    ---------------\n\nYou will also find some Burdock nearby. Go back to the main path and proceed\nsouth. You will then encounter another group consisting of two Samurai and a\nCaptain who are guarding a Caged Animal. Continue forward to a cliffside that\nyou need to climb up. When you get to the top then you will find:\n\n  --Sumi\n    ====\n      She wants you to go and free a Snow Monkey that the Samurai have \n      captured. The Snow Monkey is located near the edge at the southeast \n      corner of the Snowy Peaks area just ahead. Return to her after freeing \n      the animal to get Experience plus 5x Nuts.\n\nContinue up the path until you reach a large open area with a central peak\n(Snowy Peaks). You will also encounter two Samurai and a Captain. Just to the\nleft, after you enter the area, is what appears to be a large tree that you\ncan actually speak to:\n\n  --Tree\n    ====\n      By speaking to this special tree it will allow to take a Legendary Tree \n      Root which is used by Nyaki back near the large Samurai Camp.\n\nNear this special tree, and just ahead, is:\n\n     =============================\n  ++[Tengu #2 - Mage (Snowy Peaks)]++\n     =============================\n\nGo back to the Mage at the Blizzard Path and down to Nyaki to finish setting\nhim up for Yuki (if you wish to do so) then go back to the Mage and back to\nSnowy Peaks.\n\nProceed a little further to the north side of this area and you will find a\nKuji Altar plus two Spears and an Assassin (and some Nuts on the ground).\nWhen you are done with them then go to the south end of the area to find:\n\n  --Tengu\n    =====\n     He wants to make a new necklace to replace one he lost when fleeing the \n     Samurai. But he needs special stones infused with Kuji energy known as \n     Spirit Stones. There are six of them.\n\n     The hardest ones to find is the one to the east. Here you will find a \n     brick wall. There will be a gap that has two Wild Mint Root. Go through \n     this gap and you will drop down to a lower ledge. You will land on top \n     of one of the Stones. Proceed along the ledge to find another Stone. Go \n     to the end and climb back up.\n\n       **NOTE: Near where you climb up is the Snow Monkey you need to free \n               for Sumi.\n\n     All of the other ones will be in the open including three near the Kuji \n     Altar. He will give you a Sacred Lotus and some Experience for acquiring \n     the Stones. You will also find some Stone Caps near him.\n\nBefore proceeding further you should head to the Kuji Altar and drop the\nGreen Tengu Feather you got from defeating Timid Swimmer to get the Tornado\nSpell. When you reach the end of the Snowy Peaks area then put on your Cape.\nFollow the way through the snowfall until you reach another area with a\ncentral peak. Take off your Cape and go along the left path to find three\nSamurai and:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #3 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nContinue forward to find a wall that you can climb up. When you climb up you\nwill find an Ice Lotus. Follow the narrow path and you will intersect with\nthe path that goes along the right side of the peak. There is nothing really\nspecial of note along the right path which is why it is best to simply go\nalong the left side instead.\n\nTurn left and head up to another wall to climb. After climbing up then\nproceed forward and turn right to find a narrow path (this is hard to see\nbecause of how the camera behaves). Follow the way until you find:\n\n  --Furosuto\n    ========\n      He needs an Ice Lotus to heal his frostbite. Give him the one you found \n      and you will get some Experience and a Barkskin Potion.\n\nYou will also find plenty of Stone Caps near him. Turn around and head to end\nof the path to find the Snow Spirit. He says that there are bad spirits\nnearby and you need to get rid of them. Head back down to where you found the\nIce Lotus to find two Assassins and a Monk. Use Futo to quickly get rid of\nthem all then head back up to fight the Spirit:\n\n  >>Snow Spirit (Plane of Spirits #13)\n    **********************************\n\nAfter being allowed to pass then you will enter a tunneled area, known as the\nIcy Cave, which is at the northeast corner of the main map. This area is\ninhabited with Ghosts so you need to use the Exorcism Spell here to get rid\nof them although they are pretty easy to avoid.\n\nIn the middle round room of the Cave you will find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Icy Cave)\n    -----------------------\n\nYou will also find some Shiitake near him. There is nothing special of note\nin the other two rooms but you will find some Blade Moss and Stone Caps in\nthe tunnels.

Proceed\nfurther down into a more open area to find three more of them. Eventually you\nwill get to a short tunnel leading to Snowy Pass. Just after it you will\nencounter three Spears. Proceed to the north side of this area to find two\nSpears and a Samurai. At the northeast side, in the trees, you will find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Snowy Pass)\n    -------------------------\n\nContinue forward to find a small Samurai camp where you will find three\nSamurai. You will also find some Food Pots plus 10x Shuriken and 10x Dart\nagainst the rock wall on one side of the camp. Put on the Cape and continue\nup the pass. You will then encounter snowfall. You will also find an Assassin\nalong the way but you will not be able to fight him so continue forward.\n\nTake off the Cape when the snowfall stops and proceed up the narrow path to\nencounter three Samurai and a Captain. When you get into a larger area then\nyou will find two Samurai and an Assassin. As you head further you will find\na large door that leads straight to the Castle (according to the Map). But it\nis locked and you need to find another way (there are also some Food Pots to\nthe right of the door).\n\nTurn left at the door and proceed forward to find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Crafter\n    ---------------\n\nNext to the Crafter is a path that leads up. But, next to this path, is\nanother lower path that leads into a secluded area. Go into this area to\nfind:\n\n  --Nagini\n    ======\n      She was looking for vegetables for dinner when the cold came. She is \n      worried about her husband. He is Ikaru and you will find him in the \n      Fire Wilderness. When you find him then he will give you a Major \n      Healing Potion to give to her. When you return to her then she will \n      take the Potion and give you Experience plus 2x Water Flute which is \n      used for the Supreme Ginseng Potion.\n\nProceed up the path until you reach the Exterior Fortifications area and find\nanother large locked door. You will also encounter two Spears and a Captain.\nEast of the door is:\n\n     =========================================\n  ++[Tengu #4 - Mage (Exterior Fortifications)]++\n     =========================================\n\nProceed forward and you will enter a large area with multiple bridges.\nInterestingly enough there will be no enemies on them. Continue up the path\nand you will find three Archers to your right and up. Just beyond them, and\nby the large door, is:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #5 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nYou will also find that you can't open the door so he can escape. Of course,\nyou can't proceed further either. From here, head back to the bridge and jump\nover the railing to land on the ice. It is frozen solid so you won't be hurt\nwhen you land. At the east side of the ice you will find 10x Shuriken (x2)\nand 3x Smoke Bomb.\n\nAt the southwest corner of this area is a secondary path that runs parallel\nto the main one. Go up this path and, when you get near the bridge, you\nshould see a regular wall to your right. Within this wall is a nook that you\ncan wall jump up to the top (it is right where the wall and the rock meet).\nThen walk along the wall and jump down behind the door so you can proceed\nfurther into the area.\n\nBut there is a more rewarding way to get past the door.\n\nInstead of wall jumping the nook, walk all the way to the edge at the end of\nthe path. Find where it becomes a V-shape and drop off the edge at that\npoint. You will then land on a lower area below (you will also lose a little\nHealth in the process). Near where you landed is:\n\n  --Lozaki\n    ======\n      He tells of a Samurai that has the keys to the door leading to the \n      bridge above. After talking to him them go back down and retrace your \n      way back to the bridge area.\n\n      When you get on the bridges then you will be attacked one by one with \n      Spears. There are four in total. When you defeat them then you will get \n      the Bridge Key. Head up the main path and open the door near Tengu #5. \n      Then go all the way back to Lozaki. When you talk to him again then he \n      will hand you the Tengu Doll which is used for the Doll Tengu \n      Side-Quest.\n\nWhen you get to the bridge, regardless of method, then then put on the Cape.\nAs you proceed on the bridge then you will see snowfall again. You may also\nbe attacked by an Assassin. If this is the case then go back near Tengu #5,\ntake off your Cape, and defeat it. Put your Cape back on and proceed. Take\noff your Cape after you cross the bridge and go through the door to enter a\nlarger fortified area. Turn right past the wall to find:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #6 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nProceed west to find a large campfire plus two Samurai and a Monk. There will\nalso be Food Pots to either side of the locked door at the end of this area.\nIn one corner, not far from where you did battle, is another Spirit:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #14\n    ********************\n      This is one of the trickier ones. After drawing the background then you \n      need to draw the right breakable Wall. This will prevent you from \n      getting hit by the Spirit on the right side. Then destroy the two \n      larger Walls.\n\n      When you get up against the right Wall then draw the left Wall. Cut out \n      the paper on the left side to let out another Spirit. The Wall you just \n      drew prevents you from getting hit by the new Spirit. Destroy the left \n      Wall when the Spirit gets up to the top of the screen. You will then \n      get into the piece of paper.\n\n      Blow into or Rub the Microphone when the Spirit gets to the top of the \n      screen again to move to the upper right side of the screen and safe \n      passage.\n\nWhen you get to the other side then you will be on the upper level of this\nfortified area. Turn right to find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Interior Fortifications)\n    --------------------------------------\n\nFrom the Mage, turn around and follow along the side to find a Captain. After\ndealing with him proceed to a corner near a locked door to find 10x Shuriken\nand 10x Dart. There is nothing in the lower area and the door down below is\nlocked.\n\nYou need to jump the rooftops to get over the next wall. From the upper level\njump onto the first house and defeat the Spear there. Then jump to the second\nhouse and defeat the Spear there.\n\n  **BEWARE!: There is a glitch where, if you walk on the correct part of the \n             roof (which I believe is the northwest corner near where you \n             land), then you will fall through and be trapped in the house. \n             You will have to restart from a saved position or restart the \n             whole level over.\n\nWhen you get safely to the second roof then head to the end and drop down on\nthe opposite side of the wall. Here you will encounter a Samurai and a Monk.\nAfter that then proceed forward. You should also see a large tower to your\nleft. On one side of this tower is 3x Super Shuriken, 3x Smoke Bomb, and 10x\nDart. Not far from here is a large house. In front of it is:\n\n  --Atsui\n    =====\n      He doesn't like the cold and wants to be somewhere warmer. His brother, \n      Samui, is in a place that is warmer. He can be found in the Fire \n      Wilderness later in the game.\n\n      Talk to him then Teleport back to Atsui and they will agree to change \n      places. Then Teleport back and talk to the both of them again after \n      they switch. When you meet up with him at the Fire Wilderness then \n      Atsui will give you some Experience plus a Strange Brew Potion for your \n      efforts.\n\nAfter this encounter then put on your Cape again. Proceed forward through the\nsnowfall until it stops. After it stops then you will encounter two Assassins\nand a Captain. Proceed through the tunnel to reach the area in front of the\ncastle known as the Tower Gates.\n\nAs you exit the tunnel then you will be attacked by two Spears. Turn right to\nfind three Samurai and a Captain. After this group then you will be attacked\nby a Samurai, a Captain, an Assassin, and a Monk. Use a Smoke Bomb then\nswitch to Futo to defeat the Monk first and Assassin second before dealing\nwith the rest.\n\nWhen you defeat this group then a Clubber will appear. Switch to Hiro and use\nthe Fireball Spell against him from a distance. When you defeat him then you\nwill get a Major Healing Potion. Head to the north end of this area to find\n3x Bomb and 10x Shuriken. To the right of the castle door is 3x Bomb, 3x\nSleeping Dart, and 3x Super Shuriken. To the left of the door you will find\nsome Food Pots and:\n\n     =============================\n  ++[Tengu #7 - Mage (Tower Gates)]++\n     =============================\n\nAfter that then enter the door to face:\n\n   0=+=+=+=+=0\n  \/ Chapter 5 \\\n \/+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\\\n| >SNW3.

He will fly to one of\neight perches (four on the lower level and four on the upper level). When he\nstops at a perch then he will launch energy balls at you. You need to hit him\nwith either a Shuriken or Dart. There are regenrating Shurikens on the upper\nlevel that you have to wall jump up the nooks to get if you need them.\n\nHowever, you are not lined up with him when he lands so you need to aim at\nhim. Unfortunately, aiming at him gives him a chance to hit you and prevent\nyou from shooting at him. After several energy balls have been fired at you\nthen he will fly to another perch. You have to hit him with a ranged weapon\nto force him back to the main platform so you can damage him - hitting him\nwith the Shuriken\/Dart will not hurt him.\n\nWhen you start then head to the perch closest to the main platform since that\nis where he is heading first. Because he flies slow you can aim at where he\nis going to land before he gets there. The moment he lands then let go of the\nX Button to launch a Shuriken before he can fire. If you miss then he will\nkeep you from firing back by interrupting your aim (and taking off your\nHealth) with the energy balls he fires.\n\nIf you hit him then he will return to the main platform where you can damage\nhim. Run there and switch to Futo as you can damage him more quickly with\nhim. Unlike the other bosses you can use the Strange Brew Potion and do\nadditional damage to him.\n\nAfter some time has passed then he will recover and fly back to one of the\nclose perches. Get there before he does and aim where he is going to land.\nYou should still be under the influence of the Strange Brew Potion. If you\nhit him again with the Shuriken then he will fly back to the main platform.\nRun back there before he lands, switch to Futo, and drink another Strange\nBrew Potion. Attack him again until he recovers and flies off.\n\nThis time, however, he is going to fly to one of the further perches. Run\nthere, aim at where he is going to land, then fire a Shuriken when he lands.\nInstead of going back to the main platform he will head to another perch. You\nhave to hit him there before he will go back to the main platform.\n\nYou have to hit him at two straight perches. If you hit him at the first but\nfail to hit him at the second and he flies off then you must restart the\nprocess when he lands at the next perch (wherever that may be).\n\nIf you've done everything correctly up to this point then he should only have\na very small amount of Health left. When he lands back at the main platform\nthen quickly finish him off (you won't need another Strange Brew Potion).\nAfter defeating him then you will get a Purple Tengu Feather.\n\n0==========0\n| Afterboss \\\n0=======================================================>\n\n  >>Kage\n    ****\n      He has a challenge for you - you need to find him five times in a row \n      in order to complete it.

From here, head\nforward through the gate into the Frozen Chasm. When you go through the gate\nand look left you will find:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Frozen Chasm)\n    ---------------------------\n\nAnd on the opposite side of this area is a:\n\n  ++Tengu - Crafter\n    ---------------\n\nOn the bridge ahead is a Spear and an Archer. Proceed to the middle of the\nbridge to find:\n\n  --Hasu\n    ====\n      He was chased by the Samurai and ended up at his current position. He \n      needs to cross the bridge but is afraid to do so. Switch to Futo so you \n      can pick him up. Follow them to the end of the bridge. Talk to him \n      again and he will reward you with Experience plus 2x Hermit's Cap which \n      is used for the Supreme Health Potion.\n\nGo to the nearby Tengu Crafter to make the Potion and use it to gain a Big\nHeart. Then head all the way to the end of the bridge area to find some more\nBurdock and a Spirit Portal:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #15\n    ********************\n      After drawing the background then you need to quickly draw the \n      breakable Wall above the right side of the Mechanism. Then quickly \n      destroy the left Wall and the one under the left side of the Mechanism \n      before the nearby Spirit touches you. Cut out the area in the middle \n      and tap the Hammer three times on the last Wall.\n\n      You need to time things just right to get past the second Spirit. When \n      he is on the ground then wait for him to start moving up before tapping \n      the Wall one last time to destroy it which will lift the right side of \n      the Mechanism. If you do things right then the Spirit will come down \n      just as you safely get out of frame.\n\nWhen you get to the other side of the Portal then you will be in the Fire\nWilderness itself (there will also be some Shiitake to your right and left\nafter you appear on the other side). You will now start to go down a long\nbridge that leads to the lower level of the Wilderness.\n\nWhile you are going down you will encounter Archers. The angle of the path\nwill make it easier for them to hit you regardless of the use of the Ninja\nHat. So, even though Futo is the stronger character, it is best to use Hiro\nand the Energy Shield for this part.\n\nAs you reach the first corner you will encounter an Archer and two Spears.\nWhen you get to the next section of bridge you will encounter another group\nof two Spears and an Archer. As you continue down you will be attacked by a\ngroup of three Archers. As you proceed down don't forget to pick up the Stone\nCaps and Spears of Ashida that you find.\n\nOn the next section of bridge you will encounter a pair of Archers and\nanother group consisting of three Samurai and an Archer (two of the Samurai\nwill appear on the bridge after you get to the lower section). In one corner\nnear the door you will find a Villager named Usagi who will give you a\nBarkskin Potion. Not far from him is a Spirit Portal:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #16\n    ********************\n      After drawing the background then you will need to draw the last \n      remaining Wall in the Mechanism. Destroy the left Wall then the one \n      above the left side of the Mechanism then the left Wall in the center. \n      Move the Mechanism to get against the remaining Wall.\n\n      Let the Mechanism drop and tap the Wall three times with the Hammer. \n      The moment the second Spirit moves up then tap the Wall one last time \n      to destroy it and safely move forward.\n\nWhen you get to the other side then you will find yourself in the Volcano\nCrater area with a lava pit. You need to jump the islands to get to the other\nside. Falling into the lava won't kill you instantly but will quickly drain\nyour Health (unless you use the Energy Shield Spell). When you get to the\nother side then turn left and go along the path. As it widens then turn right\nto find:\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
  --Leeli\n    =====\n      She wants you to go free a cat. Turn back around and go back the way \n      you came. However, continue along the path and you will find a small \n      lava stream cutting across. Jump it and continue to find two Archers \n      who are positioned across a large gap.\n\n      You can either wall run at them or use the Jikoko Attack to jump \n      across. Free the cat and wall run back. Then return to her and she will \n      reward you with Experience plus 2x Blue Petal.\n\nNear her you will also start to find the Mountain Fire mushroom. From Leeli,\ncontinue along the path and you will encounter two Spears. Defeating them\nwill spawn two Archers including one on the opposite side of a lava gap. Jump\nthe gap while dodging the lava geysers and defeat the second Archer.\n\nWhen he is gone then two more Archers will appear. Jump the next gap and two\nmore Archers will spawn plus a Captain. Continue down the way and you will\nencounter three Samurai. Continue forward and the area will open up. You will\nalso find a small lava pool in the center. Around this pool, and beyond, are\nthree Archers, two Samurai, and an Assassin (plus multiple Mountain Fires).\n\nAfter defeating them all then return to the small lava pool. In a nook, just\nto the south of the pool, is:\n\n  --Yamamoto (Yuki Side-Quest Candidate #5)\n    =======================================\n      He feels that Yuki will go for him simply because he is the best \n      looking boy in the village. Unlike the other candidates you don't have \n      to do anything for him - simply talking to him will be enough to set \n      him up.\n\nNow head back up the path, where you will find some Spears of Ashida, and\njump the lava gap. You'll see another Spirit Portal but I'm not going to go\nhere yet. Turn left to find three Food Pots, some more Mountain Fire, plus:\n\n     ================================\n  ++[Tengu #1 - Mage (Volcano Crater)]++\n     ================================\n\n  >>Finishing the Yuki Side-Quest\n    *****************************\n      After finding Yamamoto it is time to finish this. Teleport back to the \n      Night Village, talk to Yuki, and she will tell you that she needs time \n      to decide who she wants. While she is doing that then go to the Tengu \n      Crafter in the Cemetery for more potions and go back to the Kuji Altar \n      (re-fighting all of the enemies there again) and drop the Purple Tengu \n      Feather to get the Kuji Disruptor Spell.\n\n      Then return to Yuki to get her decision and go to the fiance (if she \n      chooses one) then return to the Village. Then talk to Yuki again to get \n      your reward.\n\nThen Teleport back to the Volcano Crater and to the Portal for:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #17\n    ********************\n      After drawing the background then you need to draw bridges similar to \n      what you did earlier in the game.\n\nWhen you get to the other side then immediately switch to Futo as you will be\nattacked by an Assassin. After defeating him then turn the camera so you can\nsee a large bridge in the background. Then look left to find a lavafall. Go\nbehind this lavafall and forward until you find:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #2 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nThis particular Tengu is easy to miss. Continue forward from where you\nteleported to find two Spears. After that you will find three Archers\nincluding two that will appear far from you. Not far from the first Archer is\na wall jump gap (with a Mountain Fire nearby).\n\nFor extra Experience you can go after the remaining two Archers and then to a\ngroup of two Samurai and a Monk near the bridge. You will also notice Food\nPots at the base of the bridge pillars (there will also be Weapons on the\nopposite side) but it is not worth the trouble of acquiring.\n\nGo back to the wall gap and jump up. When you get to the top then turn right\nand head towards the bridge. As you get near it you will find a path to your\nleft (and near some Mountain Fire). You will also find three Samurai along\nwith some more Mountain Fire and Stone Caps.\n\nBeyond them is a gate that leads into a cave. Inside are two Ghosts, some\nMountain Fire, Stone Caps, and Blade Moss, and a Kuji Altar. Get rid of the\nGhosts then return to the bridge to find two Spears and an Archer. When you\nget to the other end then turn left. Near the wall you will find:\n\n  --Toshimi\n    =======\n      He is concerned about the Samurai at the Kuji Altar. He wants you to \n      get the spell from there before they acquire it. He will give you a \n      Golden Tengu Feather. Go back to the Kuji Altar and drop it there to \n      get the Meteor Spell then return to him. Talk to him twice to get \n      Experience plus a Sacred Lotus.\n\nNow turn around and head west. You will encounter two Samurai which will\nspawn a third when you defeat them. Beyond that is a gap with a small island\nin the middle. There is also an Archer on the other side. Use your Shurikens\non him and you will spawn another one plus a Captain. Use your Fireball on\nthe Archer then jump the gap. Defeat the Captain then head to the crack in\nthe wall for:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #18\n    ********************\n      After drawing the background then you need to draw the breakable Walls \n      and destroy them before the Spirit can get to you.\n\nWhen you get to the other side then look towards the lava. Going right from\nthis point will lead you to a small ledge where you will find 10x Dart.\n\nHead in the opposite direction and jump the gap. Beyond it is a drop and an\nangled rock bridge that leads to a ramp to another section. Here you will\nfind a wall nook. But, before climbing it, turn to the right and drop off the\nledge. Here you will find a:\n\n  ++Tengu - Mage (Lavafall)\n    -----------------------\n\nIn addition, he will give you a Minor Healing Potion.\n\nTeleport back to the Volcano Carter and re-fight all of the enemies to return\nto this wall nook (or you can use the Energy Shield Spell and hop the lava\nback to the angled rock bridge from the Lavafall Mage). After climbing the\nwall nook then turn left. You will find two Archers across the next gap.\nAfter defeating them then jump the next gap to find:\n\n  --Samui\n    =====\n      He is the brother of Atsui (Snow Wilderness). Because you met Atsui \n      earlier he will ask you to ask him if he can come over there for \n      awhile. Instead they will trade places and you must travel back and \n      forth between them to finish this Side-Quest. When you meet him back at \n      the Snow Castle to complete his story then he will reward you with some \n      Experience and a Barkskin Potion.\n\nTurn around and jump the two gaps again. Continue forward to encounter two\nSamurai. Jump the next gap and just off to your right is:\n\n  --Gosu\n    ====\n      He burned himself trying to escape. He needs a special plant to soothe \n      his wounds. That would be the Fire Lotus. It can be found in a large \n      cavern just ahead. Return to him with it and you will get some \n      Experience and a Strong Ginseng Extract Potion.\n\nProceed past him and into the tunnel. You will then encounter a Monk. Beyond\nhim is a pair of large abutments. You will find a couple of Samurai here.\nAfter that is another pair of large abutments where you will encounter an\nAssassin. Another pair of abutments are beyond that but there are Food Pots\nbehind them.\n\nBeyond this point is a wall with a small hole. Free one of the Caged Animals\nand Possess one of them to go through the hole. When you get through then\nreturn to Hiro. You will be in a larger cavern. In this cavern is an upper\narea which should be to your right. The only way to get up here is to do a\nJikoko Attack on the three Archers shooting down at you.\n\nWhen you get up here then head back near the wall and Meditate to regain your\nKi after defeating the three Archers. There will be a Samurai camp up here as\nwell. Inside the camp are two Spears and a Clubber. As Hiro, use your Energy\nShield Spell and defeat the Clubber (he will drop a Major Healing Potion) and\nSpears. In the center of the camp is:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #3 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nAround the tents are 3x Bomb, 10x Shuriken, and 3x Super Shuriken. On one\nside of the area is:\n\n  --Ikaru\n    =====\n      He somehow got trapped here and he believes that his wife will be angry \n      at him for being late to dinner. He is the husband of Nagini who you \n      encountered in the Snow Wilderness. He will give you a Major Healing \n      Potion to give to her. Return to her to get your reward when you find \n      the next Tengu Mage.\n\nOn the other side of this area is a Spirit:\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #19\n    ********************\n      After drawing the background then you need to destroy the breakable \n      Walls for safe passage. However, it takes three hits to destroy instead \n      of four. Destroy the first two and tap the last one twice. When the \n      second Spirit starts moving up then tap it again to destroy it and gain \n      safe passage.\n\nWhen you get to the other side you will be on an upper level above a section\nof tunnel near the end of the level. Here you will find the Fire Lotus. Go\nback through the Portal then drop down behind the wall so you can go back to\nGosu. After being rewarded then go back to the wall, free the second Caged\nAnimal and Possess it to return to the other side.\n\nHere on the lower level you will find a tent with some 10x Shuriken and 10x\nDart nearby. Also at this camp you will find\n\n  --Fuu\n    ===\n      She has made herself some mushroom soup but it is now all gone. If you \n      can get her some more ingredients she can make more. She needs a Minor \n      Healing Potion, a Weak Ginseng Extract Potion, and a mushroom (which I \n      believe is a Stone Cap). It will take awhile before it is ready. When \n      you finally get some soup then you will be rewarded with Experience and \n      a Strange Brew Potion.\n\nAfter this then proceed forward to the other end of the cavern and into a\ntunnel. Go through this tunnel to enter another large cavern, this time with\na huge lava pit. Proceed along the path to encounter three Archers. Continue\nthrough to the next tunnel to encounter two Spears and a Captain. Proceed to\nthe end of the tunnel to enter the Volcanic Vent area and find a wall of\nflame. In front of it is the:\n\n  >>Fire Spirit (Plane of Spirits #20)\n    **********************************\n\nHowever, after defeating him, he still won't let you pass. You still need to\nactivate three Levers at the lavafalls ahead to prove your worth. As you get\nnear them then you will be attacked by two Samurai which will spawn an\nAssassin when you defeat them. Proceed up the ramp to the upper level.\n\nHere you will find a Monk. After defeating him then you will face another\nMonk and a Captain. Use the Kuji Disruptor on them. After that then activate\nthe three Levers. One is on ground level but you still need to fire a\nShuriken to trigger it. The other two are at the walls at the edge of the\ncavern. After activating the three Levers then head back down to the lower\nlevel.\n\nHowever, instead of going back to the Fire Spirit, head right to find a nook\nwhere you will also find:\n\n     ===============================\n  ++[Tengu #4 - Mage (Volcanic Vent)]++\n     ===============================\n\nBut, before going back to the Fire Spirit, I'm going to complete the\nNagini\/Ikaru and Atsui\/Samui Side-Quests. Teleport back to the Snow Castle\n(Exterior Fortifications) and head down to Nagini. After acquiring the Water\nFlute then head to the nearby Tengu Crafter to make the Supreme Ginseng\nPotion and drink to to permanently increase your Ki. Also make a Supreme\nStamina Potion and drink it (this slows down the decrease of your stamina).\n\nHead back to the Mage and Teleport to the Tower Gates. Of course, you have to\nrefight all of the enemies here but you will get more Experience in doing so.\nWhen you get to Atsui then you need to go back to the Mage and Teleport to\nVolcanic Crater and make your way back to Samui.\n\nAfter talking to him then go back and drop down to the Mage at Lavafall and\nTeleport back to Tower Gates (and refight the enemies there again). After\ntalking to Samui and finishing up with him then head back and Teleport back\nto the Volcanic Crater. Fight your way to Atsui and talk to him to finish him\nup. Either drop back down to the Mage at Lavafall and Teleport to Volcanic\nVent or fight your way there to gain extra Experience.\n\nWhen you get back to the Fire Spirit then you have to fight him again. After\nthat then you can pass into the next section.\n\n   0=+=+=+=+=0\n  \/ Chapter 6 \\\n \/+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\\\n| >FRE2.

You have a large\nCatapult and you need to move large Rocks to it. You have to use Futo since\nhe is the only one strong enough to move the Rocks. Put on your Ninja Hat\ntoo.\n\nEither go left or right along the edge of the area to get a Rock. The House\nwill sweep the area with a bridge that it has acquired as a weapon. But there\nis a bit of a nook that you can use to avoid its attack. When you get a Rock\nthen take it back to the Catapult. When you do then you will attack and hit\nthe house. It will then start to shoot arrows down at you.\n\nJust continue acquiring Rocks and shooting at the house with them until you\ndefeat it. Run to and wait in a nook until it sweeps then run to grab a Rock\nthen run back. After this then head across the bridge and enter through the\ndoor into the Fire Castle then turn around and head back out. Turn to your\nleft to find:\n\n  >>Tamago\n    ******\n      Unlike the other Afterbosses, in which it was optional to interact with \n      them, you have no choice but to talk to him since he has an important \n      item that you need for the next area (that being the White Tengu \n      Feather). You will also get a Doll for the Doll Tengu if you complete \n      the entire challenge.\n\n      He has a challenge for you in that he wants you to destroy eight waves \n      of Samurai. The last Samurai of each wave will have a flag. He'll \n      reward you when you are done with a wave. Each wave will get harder. If \n      you run away (basically talking to him again after the wave has \n      started) then you will have to refight the wave again.\n\n      Go onto the bridge to start the wave. After you successfully the wave \n      then return to him.\n\n      The thing to note is that the enemies stand still until you get close \n      enough to them. The best strategy is to use the Meteor Spell from a \n      distance to crush them then use the Fireball Spell against the last \n      Samurai. After talking to Tamago to get your reward then enter\/exit the \n      Fire Castle to immediately restore Health and Ki and talk to him again \n      to start the next wave.\n\n      On the eighth wave you need to talk to him twice to get things started. \n      After destroying the initial group then turn around to find an Assassin \n      near the Fire Castle entrance.

When you get to him then talk to him \n      and give him the three Dolls in your possession. In return you will get \n      Experience plus one Major Healing Potion, two Strange Brew Potions, two \n      Barkskin Potions, and a Sacred Lotus.\n\n      However, you're not done with him. He talks about a sixth Doll which is \n      in the hands of a Tengu Hermit (which is the Hermit near the Earth \n      Village). After talking to the Doll Tengu then head to the Mage for the \n      Exterior Courtyard and Teleport to Earth Wilderness (Bamboo Forest). \n      Then head back down to the Tengu Hermit. He will give you the last \n      Doll, Ashida.\n\n      Go back to the Doll Tengu and you will finally get the Brown Tengu \n      Feather. Then head back to the Exterior Courtyard and use the Mage \n      there to Teleport back to Earth Wilderness (Mountain Gorge).\n\n      Fight off the easy enemies there and use the Kuji Altar to get the last \n      two spells: Freeze Time and Forced Dance. Then use the Mage again to \n      Teleport back to the Fire Castle (Lava Pit). At this point you should \n      have finished off all of the Side-Quests in the game.\n\nWhen you get back to the Fire Castle then look at the Map. The section off to\nthe right is the area before Ashida's Antechamber but the door is closed and\nyou must activate the three Levers hidden in each section of the castle to\nopen it. And you have to go through them in order. The first door is south of\nthe Mage.\n\nWhen you go through the door you will enter a room with three moving spiked\nblocks. Use the Time Freeze Spell to stop them so you can get past them. When\nyou get to the next room then switch to Futo and fight off ten Samurai and a\nMonk. There are three Food Pots in a corner of this room.\n\nThe next room will split off into two paths that meet at the other side. On\none side there are three moving spiked blocks and on the other side two. You\nhave to use the Time Freeze Spell when they are not in line or you can't\ncross. When you get into the next area of this maze you will encounter two\nSpears and an Archer. Proceed further to encounter another group of two\nSpears and an Archer.\n\nYou will also find a pair of moving spiked blocks. Time the Time Freeze Spell\nso they are not in line. After them is another group of two Spears and an\nArcher. In a dead-end not from from the blocks you will find two Caged\nAnimals. In the next section you will find 3x Bomb and 3x Super Shuriken in a\nsmall dead-end.\n\nIn the larger room you will find one of the three Levers. You will also find\none Samurai but you will end up fighting off about ten of them before you are\nfree of them. On one side you will find three Food Pots and on the other side\nyou will find:\n\n     ==================\n  ++[Tengu #6 - Crafter]++\n     ==================\n\nAfter flipping the Lever then a Clubber will appear from the small dead-end\nnearby. Use the Meteor Spell when situated around a corner. There are no more\nenemies in this section of the Castle so all you have to do is use the Time\nFreeze Spell on the blocks to get out.\n\n  >>Alternate Strategy\n    ******************\n      Another way to do this section of the Castle is to use the Time Freeze \n      Spell and head all the way to the Lever Room without stopping (unless \n      the two blocks halfway through are in the way). If they are in the way \n      then stop in the dead-end corner nearby, replenish your Ki through \n      Meditation, then go out and use the Spell again on the blocks to gain \n      passage.\n\n      Fight off the Samurai and Clubber (you may have to use a Strong Ginseng \n      Potion to quickly replenish your Ki first so you can use the Meteor \n      Spell) then use the Time Freeze Spell again and head back to the Lava \n      Pit without stopping.\n\nWhen you return to the Lava Pit then head to the next door which is north of\nthe Mage. When you enter you will encounter three Samurai, two Spears, and\nfive Archers. When you finish fighting them you will find yourself in a large\nroom with four platforms you must jump to get to the other side.\n\nIn one corner of this room are three Food Pots. On the east side of this room\nis a Caged Animal, 10x Shuriken, and 10x Dart. When you get to the L-shaped\nhallway beyond the pit you will encounter three Archers.\n\nIn the next room you will find another pit with platforms. However, two of\nthe main platforms have retractible spikes. Wait for the spikes to retract\nbefore jumping to the platform across from you then quickly get onto the\nnarrow walkway. Then turn around and wait for all of the spikes to retract\nbefore using the Time Freeze Spell to get to the platform on the other side\nso you can free:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #7 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nThere is also 3x Sleeping Dart here. Use the Time Freeze Spell again to get\nback to the other side and fight off the three Samurai, two Spears, and an\nArcher.\n\nIn the next hallway you will find a small pit and you have to wall run to get\nacross. However, each wall has three blades that rotate in and out. You have\nto use the Time Freeze Spell when the blades are fully inside the wall. If\neven a sliver of them are out then you will die when you wall run. The next\nsection of hallway is even worse than this one as the blades are faster and\ntheir timing are more evenly spaced.\n\nHowever, you don't have to wait for all of the blades to be inside the wall -\nyou can have some of them out as long as a straight path is clear to the\nother side. When you get to the other side you will find a couple of moving\nspiked blocks on bridges. If you look to your right you will find a Lever. \n\nBut, this is not the main Lever - it opens the gate at the other end of this\narea where the main Lever is. Use a Shuriken to activate it from here. You\ncan't use these bridges so you need to wall run to a platform in one corner\nof this room where you will find a Caged Animal. Then you need to wall run\nagain to get to the other side but this is a little trickier because you\ndon't have much room.\n\nWhen you get to the other side you will find a gate into the next room which\nhas the main Lever. In the Lever Room you will find two Samurai and a\nCaptain. Activate the Lever and leave. Wait for the block nearest you to be\nat the far end then use the Time Freeze Spell so it will stop when it is\nclose to you.\n\nThen jump over the pit to get behind this block and run to where the first\nLever is. Then wall run back to the other side of this room and get out of\nTime Freeze. Meditate then use the Time Freeze Spell again to get past the\nblades in both sections of the hallway. Then make your way back out to the\nLava Pit.\n\n  >>Alternate Strategy\n    ******************\n      Just before you enter this section then use the Time Freeze Spell and \n      make your way to the Caged Tengu before de-activating it to avoid some \n      combat. Fight off the Samurai as you head to the Lever. When you get \n      back near the Tengu then re-activate Time Freeze and make your way back \n      to the Lava Pit to avoid additional combat.\n\nWhen you get back to the Pit then go through the last door into the next\nsection of the Castle. Head down the hall and fight off two Spears and seven\nArchers. At the end of the hall are three Food Pots. There is also a door\nnear them but it is locked. You need to flip Levers in the other rooms in\nthis section.\n\nHead back to the first door at the other end. In this room is a Caged Animal\nand three Food Pots in addition to the Lever. Use a Shuriken to flip it. Head\nback to the last room where you will encounter a Captain and two Assassins.\nIn one corner of the room you will find:\n\n     =================\n  ++[Tengu #8 - Normal]++\n     =================\n\nIn another corner you will find a Lever that opens one of the other rooms\n(there will also be a 3x Smoke Bomb near the Lever). After flipping the Lever\nthen head to the second room. You will find another lava pit with the last\nLever on the other side along with 10x Shuriken and 10x Dart. Use a Shuriken\nto flip the Lever.\n\nNow head to the third room to find three Spears. In this room is a Caged\nAnimal and three Food Pots. However, when you free the animal, Possess it and\nhead through the small hole at the end of the room. On the other side you\nwill find:\n\n     ======================\n  ++[Tengu #9 - Mage (Cell)]++\n     ======================\n\nThere is also another Caged Animal you can use to get back to the other side\nbut you can also use the Mage to Teleport back to the Lava Pit.\n\nFrom here, head to the chamber to the east. When you get into the hallway\nthen you will be attacked by a trio of Samurai. Defeating them will spawn\nanother trio of Samurai a little further in the hallway. When you get into\nthe chamber then you will encounter two Spears and four Archers.\n\nGet back into the hallway and take care of the Spears then, as Hiro, jump the\ngap where three of the Archers are and quickly defeat them. Use the Food Pots\nto regain any health lost. Jump the gap and take care of the last Archer.\nProceed along the north side of the room and defeat the two Samurai and\nAssassin.\n\nThen a pair of Assassins and Monk will appear. Use the Kuji Disruptor on the\nAssassins then on the Monk when you get close enough. You need to be careful\nat this point near the door since the bridges are very narrow and you can\neasily fall off them. At the south end of the chamber is the last Tengu:\n\n     ====================================\n  ++[Tengu #10 - Mage (Ashida's Anteroom)]++\n     ====================================\n\nAnd with that you will finally get the Tengu Strength Bonus and the door will\nopen allowing you to go after Ashida. If you do not get the Bonus then you\nmissed a Tengu and you can use this Mage to go back through the other areas\nto find the ones you didn't find.\n\n  >>Alternate Strategy\n    ******************\n      Instead of fighting all of the enemies here you can activate the Time \n      Freeze Spell just outside this section then simply run all the way to \n      the Caged Tengu without any interference.\n\nBefore facing Ashida you should have a full compliment of Minor and Major\nHealing as well as Strange Brew Potions plus 99 Darts and Shuriken. Then head\nforward to face off against.....\n\n   0=+=+=+=+=0\n  \/ Chapter 6 \\\n \/+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\\\n| >FRE4.

The way to get him to do that is to \n  fire either a Dart or Shuriken at him. When it hits him then he will charge \n  it up and throw it back at you. However, it will home in on you. Thus you \n  need to put a Pearl between you and him after you fire. When the charged \n  weapon hits the Pearl then it will be destroyed.\n\n  Ashida will be protected by an Energy Shield which makes him invulnerable \n  to melee attacks. If you go right up to him then he will chase you and hit \n  you. But he won't stray from his throne area. As you are trying to destroy \n  the Pearls he will unleash an occasional electrical attack but it will only \n  hit you if you are up close to him.\n\n  When you destroy all of the Pearls then Ashida will be stunned and you can \n  go up and attack him. After a certain amount of time has passed then he \n  will get up and you must destroy the Pearls again to get another chance to \n  attack him.\n\n  When you drain enough of his health then he will change form but it doesn't \n  make him more aggressive. In addition to his attacks Ashida will also \n  generate a pair of Samurai to make things difficult for you. If you defeat \n  them then Ashida will turn the animals back into Samurai. The more you \n  drain Ashida's health, the tougher the Samurai will become.\n\n  The game will generate boxes of Shuriken in each corner of the room but \n  will not generate any boxes of Darts.\n\n0=========0\n| Strategy \\\n0===============================================>\n\n  Use Suzume to start. Do *NOT* attack the Samurai - since Ashida will \n  turn them back there is no point in doing so. Use her speed to go to one \n  side of the room to avoid them. Fire a Dart at him then duck behind a Pearl \n  so he can destroy it. Run to other side of room to avoid the slow moving \n  Samurai and repeat.\n\n  The instant you destroy the last Pearl then immediately run up to Ashida, \n  quickly switch to Futo, and drink a Strange Brew Potion. Futo is the \n  strongest person, the Tengu Strength Bonus makes him much stronger, and the \n  Strange Brew Potion multiplies that by three.\n\n  Attack him as quickly as possible and you can defeat him before he gets \n  back up. He will change form while you are attacking but he will still be \n  stunned. After defeating him then watch the cutscene that completes the \n  game.\n\n   0=+=+=+0\n  \/ Extras \\\n \/+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\\\n| >SMR1.

Plane of Spirits |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\\\n0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0\n\nIn this section I list all of the Plane of Spirits encounters in the game:\n\n  >>Elemental Spirit Fights (#4, #6, #9, #13, #20)\n    **********************************************\n      In each major area of the game you will need to fight an Elemental \n      Spirit (Earth, Night, Water, Snow, and Fire). After drawing the main \n      symbol you will then need to draw the breakable Wall to protect \n      yourself. When the Elemental swings his sword then it will hit the \n      Wall, destroying it and bouncing the weapon back in its face which will \n      stun it.\n\n      While he is stunned then rapidly tap the small Spirits to make them \n      disappear and reduce the Elemental's Health Line. When it gets back up \n      then redraw the Wall until the Elemental is defeated. In the case of \n      the Fire Spirit you will have to defeat it twice.\n\n0=================0\n| Earth Wilderness \\\n0=======================================================>\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #1\n    *******************\n      Draw the background then cut out the house to reveal a bridge. A Spirit \n      will bounce up and down and you must draw the bridge in such a way to \n      allow you to cross safely. Draw the bridge when the Spirit just gets up \n      beyond the bridge.\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #2\n    *******************\n      This is just like the first one except you have to do two bridges.\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #3\n    *******************\n      This one requires you to draw the large Mechanism and Bridges. When you \n      get to the left side of the Mechanism then turn the gear to lift up the \n      left side. When you get past that then lift up on the stylus to let the \n      Mechanism drop back so you can safely pass.\n\n0=============0\n| Earth Castle \\\n0=======================================================>\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #5\n    *******************\n      After drawing the environment then you must cut out a section of the \n      background. When it falls then you will climb inside of it and you must \n      Blow into or Rub the Microphone to make it move up and to the other \n      side to safely cross. There is a Spirit that will move back and forth \n      and you must time things to get past him.\n\n0=============0\n| Night Castle \\\n0=======================================================>\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #7\n    *******************\n      After drawing the background then you have to cut out the center. This \n      reveals two bridges connected by a center island. There is a Spirit \n      that goes around the island in a clockwise pattern. Draw the second \n      bridge first. Then draw the first one when the Spirit comes up and \n      moves away from it.\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #8\n    *******************\n      After you draw the background and Mechanism then you have to cut out \n      part of the background. This will release a Spirit that will go to the \n      top of the screen but slowly make its way down. You have to Blow into \n      or Rub the Microphone to get the piece of paper to move into the gap in \n      the middle of the Mechanism.\n\n      For some reason this particular puzzle is very finicky in regards to \n      Blowing into the Microphone. I spent a lot of time trying to make the \n      paper move but the game would refuse to do what I wanted. Therefore it \n      is best to Rub the Microphone for this puzzle.\n\n      As the paper moves into postion then Rotate the wheel to lift the left \n      side of the Mechanism before the Spirit moves down far enough to touch \n      you. When the paper is in place then you will move inside. Lift the \n      stylus to drop the Mechanism to allow for safe passage.\n\n0=============0\n| Water Castle \\\n0=======================================================>\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #10\n    ********************\n      After drawing the background then you have to draw three breakable \n      Walls and destroy them to gain safe passage.\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #11\n    ********************\n      This is similar to the last one but you have to draw four breakable \n      Walls. In addition, there is a Spirit near the end you have to dodge. \n      Destroy the first three and wait until you reach the last one. Destroy \n      the last one when the Spirit moves back upwards.\n\n0================0\n| Snow Wilderness \\\n0=======================================================>\n\n  >>Plane of Spirits #12\n    ********************\n      After drawing the background you need to get past the house. There are \n      two Spirits, one to each side. There are three breakable Walls, two \n      that holds up the house and one before. Break the one on the left side \n      of the house then the one before the house (before the first Spirit can \n      come down and touch you).\n\n      This will put you on the left part of the roof. When the second Spirit \n      is at the top of the screen then quickly break the last Wall to <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      catapult yourself off the right side of the screen to safety.

0=======================================================>

  >>Plane of Spirits #14
    ********************
      This is one of the trickier ones. After drawing the background then you 
      need to draw the right breakable Wall. This will prevent you from 
      getting hit by the Spirit on the right side. Then destroy the two 
      larger Walls.

      When you get up against the right Wall then draw the left Wall. Cut out 
      the paper on the left side to let out another Spirit. The Wall you just 
      drew prevents you from getting hit by the new Spirit. Destroy the left 
      Wall when the Spirit gets up to the top of the screen. You will then 
      get into the piece of paper.

      Blow into or Rub the Microphone when the Spirit gets to the top of the 
      screen again to move to the upper right side of the screen and safe 
      passage.

| Fire Wilderness \\
0=======================================================>

  >>Plane of Spirits #15
    ********************
      After drawing the background then you need to quickly draw the 
      breakable Wall above the right side of the Mechanism. Then quickly 
      destroy the left Wall and the one under the left side of the Mechanism 
      before the nearby Spirit touches you. Cut out the area in the middle 
      and tap the Hammer three times on the last Wall.

      You need to time things just right to get past the second Spirit. When 
      he is on the ground then wait for him to start moving up before tapping 
      the Wall one last time to destroy it which will lift the right side of 
      the Mechanism. If you do things right then the Spirit will come down 
      just as you safely get out of frame.

  >>Plane of Spirits #16
    ********************
      After drawing the background then you will need to draw the last 
      remaining Wall in the Mechanism. Destroy the left Wall then the one 
      above the left side of the Mechanism then the left Wall in the center. 
      Move the Mechanism to get against the remaining Wall.

      Let the Mechanism drop and tap the Wall three times with the Hammer. 
      The moment the second Spirit moves up then tap the Wall one last time 
      to destroy it and safely move forward.

  >>Plane of Spirits #17
    ********************
      After drawing the background then you need to draw bridges similar to 
      what you did earlier in the game.

  >>Plane of Spirits #18
    ********************
      After drawing the background then you need to draw the breakable Walls 
      and destroy them before the Spirit can get to you.

  >>Plane of Spirits #19
    ********************
      After drawing the background then you need to destroy the breakable 
      Walls for safe passage. However, it takes three hits to destroy instead 
      of four. Destroy the first two and tap the last one twice. When the 
      second Spirit starts moving up then tap it again to destroy it and gain 
      safe passage.

In this section I list the five Afterbosses that you can meet after defeating
each major Boss:

  >>Bado the Beastmaster (Earth Castle)
    ***********************************
      He wants you to rescue the Caged Animals. If you rescue most, if not 
      all, of them then return to him and he will reward you with a random 
      item plus Experience. You can only be rewarded once.

  >>Kake (Night Castle)
    *******************
      He will place four Food Pots in each corner of the area and wants you 
      to guess which Pot is the one he has chosen. If you are correct then 
      you will get a Major Healing Potion and Experience. If you wish to try 
      again then leave the Castle and re-enter.

  >>Yoshiko, Akiko, and Keiko (Water Castle)
    ****************************************
      Yoshiko, who can be found to the left of the door, wants Sage. Talk to 
      her a second time to give her three Sage. You will get a Minor Healing 
      Potion and Experience.

      Akiko, who can be found to the right of the door, wants Shiitake. Talk 
      to her again to give her three Shiitake. You will get a Weak Ginseng 
      Extract Potion and Experience.

      Keiko, at the top of the stairs at the end of the room, wants Anemone. 
      Talk to her a second time and give her three Anemone. You will get 5x 
      Smoke Bomb and Experience.

      You can go back and give as much of each item to them as you want.

  >>Kage (Snow Castle)
    ******************
      He has a challenge for you - you need to find him five times in a row 
      in order to complete it. Each time you find him you have fifteen 
      seconds to find him again. He can be found at any of the eight perches 
      and the main platform.

      This is an annoying challenge because of the controls, camera, and 
      tight time limits. The small reward isn't worth the hassle.

  >>Tamago (Living Tower)
    *********************
      He has a challenge for you in that he wants you to destroy eight waves 
      of Samurai. The last Samurai of each wave will have a flag. He'll 
      reward you when you are done with a wave. You will get some Experience 
      and an item for each wave completed. He will possess a White Tengu 
      Feather for the Time Freeze Spell and the Ninja Master Doll for the 
      Doll Tengu.

  And, with that, this finally completes the guide and leads to the last 
  section.....
