Genma Onimusha Cheats and Hints for Xbox

Hints

Bishamon O Flute
There are two places in there game where a very strange man hanging from the ceiling by his feet stares at you and ignores you. Later in the game, after you use the Evil Plate and open the door, he will talk to you. The man will now take you (whenever desired), to the Dark Realm. In the Dark Realm, kill monsters until two portals open; one to go up and one to go down. Keep going down to the last level (9th or 10th) while collecting all the items en route. Open the box on the deepest level to get the Bishamon O flute. Keep the flute just before the last fight with the Demon King. It is needed to get the Bishamon Sword.

Bishamon Sword
In the Demon Realm (just after you destroy the Ultimate Creation) is a save mirror and three doors. Go to the door that resembles an iron gate. It will not open at first. Use the Bishimon O flute on it and enter. Go to the Bishimon Sword jutting out of the Skull Demon wall object and take it. It is more powerful than all three of your weapons put together, and it has speed. The sword also has an unlimited supply of magic.

Fire Orb and Bow
After defeating Reynaldo (the weird squirmy thing), go to the fire to the left where the zombie eating the human was to get a Fire Orb. Before leaving to the castle, enhance the Fire Orb to level 2.To get a Bow in the castle, go to the place where the bucket is located and cut it. Go upstairs and there will be a trick crate. Open it to get the Bow. Make sure you have normal arrows before using the Bow. You can find 10 normal arrows when you barely enter the castle and see the samurai and the kid.

Ogre Armor
Go to the Demon Realm in the fortress and battle all the way to the last level. Get the secret key in the chest. Leave the fortress and go to where you found the decorated sword. Place the key in the door and proceed to find the Ogre Tower. Battle through all four levels then fight the Ogre Armor Samurai at the top of the tower (fire works best). Defeat him and receive the Ogre Armor.

Holy Armor
Go to the room where you and Keade get trapped in and you have to pull the levers. Go through the levers. The chest that was in the corner behind the bars can now be reached. Inside the chest is the Holy Armor.

Better gauntlet
Reach 20,000 souls and when you go to enhance you will have a better gauntlet. Go when you have 50 to get the Golden Ogre Gauntlet.

Capture 50,000 souls to get an even better gauntlet.

Enhancing
When enhancing, collect about 25,000 souls. The number next to the soul meter should say 25. Enhance all of your weapons and Orbs to level two. After collecting the Wind Orb, use the remaining souls to bring that to level three, since it is weak.

Save your green and red mana for the fourth sword. It can be found just beyond the destroyed master's house (level four or five). By saving points, you can build the weapon up to full immediately.

Trapped floor sequence
When you get into the part where you have to go through traps, you will get to a trapped floor section. When you get here, you will see trapped floor parts marked with "X"s and "T"s. They are set in a random pattern each time. While walking across, you will notice that each different trap square makes other normal or trap squares fall in a certain direction (diagonally, up, down, left, or right). Also notice that they are always in an order to where you can get through. If you do not like the selection as it currently appears, exit the room and go back in to change it. Your main objective is to get to the square with an "O".

Great armor
There is a chest behind the waterfall containing the Great armor.

Metal armor
Get the Fire Orb to level 3.Go to the same place where you played as Kaede last. You should see a ladder. Go up the ladder and then open the door with your level 3 Fire Orb. You will be in a room with another ladder. Climb down and you should see a magic mirror. Next to it are two doors. Go through the one nearest to the magic mirror. Fight a demon, then go through the door on the right. Get the gear and go to where you fought the demon. Go through the door and you should be in a room with blowing fire jets. Pull the tab and run to the other side. Open a cupboard and put the gear in place. An intermission showing a door opening up will appear. Go in the room and you should find a box. The metal armor is inside.

Medicines
Just before fighting Fortinbras, when you are going down the spiral staircase, there are two Medicines. One is near a light about halfway down, and the other is near the blocked off area at the bottom. They are difficult to see.

Extra red souls
When fighting enemies around the floating blue skull-ball things, allow them to absorb the souls that are released when you slay an enemy. When you kill the skull-ball, you will get many more red souls than if you had absorbed them directly from the demon.

At the end of the game, when you are walking down the spiral pit, you will reach a pink and black blob that squirts out the "squid" monsters. Stand slightly to the left of where they land. When they are getting up (low enough that they are off-balance, but high enough that your foot can reach them), kick them over and stab them when they are laying down. You can easily get your red soul bar filled up 30 times using this technique.

Easy souls
If you are low on health at the end of the game before facing the Boss go to the entrance of the keep for some battles. By now they should be easy -- just absorb the souls to raise your health

Defeating Ayame
Ayame is one of the most troublesome characters in this game. Although it seems she is impossible to kill, there is a way to put an end to this nuisance. Ayame is susceptible to magic attacks only; therefore you have to attack her at a moment that you are fully charged with both energy and magic. Start by performing all of your special magic attacks, one sword at a time. Once your magic attacks run out, be prepared to block extensively while charging the magic attack of any of the weapons you have used. You can accomplish this by blocking. Be prepared to move to the other end of the room to give yourself some room to maneuver. Once she stops to perform one of her attacks, move forward and attack her with your charged-up weapon. Even if your weapon is not fully charged, be sure to attack her. She becomes invisible whenever the attack is not magic driven. If this happens, she will not be able to inflict any damage on you. Make sure to absorb any magic she releases. Continue this until she is dead.

Defeating Marcellus
At the end of the game you should have all weapons and orbs at the maximum. When fighting Marcellus again, kick him and use the Thunder Orb's magic. For some reason, this is stronger than his other attacks.

Defeating Fortinbras
Start off by doing any type of attack that will make Fortinbras fall to the ground (special attacks will make this quick and easy). From this point on, just keep kicking him to death. This will take some time. You will never get hit, plus he will not be able to attack you if you can keep the chain kicks going.

Use this strategy if you have only your three normal weapons, and not the secret sword. Kick him, then slash him with the Enryuu Fire Sword. It is the strongest. Give him about five kicks and then deliver a Thunder Orb magic. Repeat this until you have no more Thunder magic remaining. Then, use the Wind Orb magic to knock him down. Use the Fire Orb and some kicks. Most of his attacks are easy to dodge, except the fire.

To avoid being hit by Fortinbras' fire attack, just go as far as you can backwards.

Defeating China Dolls
Note: This trick requires using as much mana as you think you can spare. In every place you fight one of the china dolls, you have plenty of room to run around. They try to bite when you first wake them up. When you wake them up, block and back away as quickly as possible. Try to get to an area where you can put them into a corner. Keep using the Wind Orb's magic attack. It helps to have it fully charged. You can also use the other Orbs, but Wind does the most damage. Then, equip the Lightning Orb, which has a fast attack that is nice to have. Keep blocking and charging your attacks. It will at times, just keep blocking until it stops then release your attack. After about two minutes it should die.

Defeating archers
Use the following trick to save arrows/bullets and health when facing archers. To kill archers on roofs without being in their line of fire and using up your arrows or bullets, run directly under them where they cannot shoot you and use a Wind spell. It will reach high enough to destroy them in one blow. If another enemy is directly under the archer, you can use a Lightning spell on that target and it will kill the archer directly above him as well. You can now save all but two of your arrows and all of your bullets for the last three Bosses, where they are very useful.

Defeating Chameleons
To make short work of Chameleons, equip the Lightning orb, press [R], and run straight at them as soon as they appear before they uncloak. They will pause before they attack when they first come in. You can get in a Lightning spell as soon as they uncloak and wipe them out before they have the chance to do any damage. If you run out of magic, keep the Lightning sword equipped and block. Do not attack while they are using their sword on you, as they sometimes do a double slam and if you try to counter you will get hit. Wait for them to either uncloak at a distance and use their ring attack, block, then run straight at them holding down [R] and counter; or jump up and attack you, block, then counter while they are getting up from their crouch. If you do this quickly enough, you can get an instant kill.

Double Dark Realm rewards
If you are proficient in the Dark Realm, go through it twice, once from the Sentry Box room and once from the well in the west area. You will only get the Bishamon Ocarina and the Flourites the first time, but you can pick up Herbs, Medicines, and another Talisman on your second trip through.

Blinking eye
When you have an Orb in your gauntlet, stand still for a few seconds and the eye will blink.
