BEFORE YOU READ FURTHER!
======================================================================================
***Attention***
If you find this FAQ/Walkthrough lacks of in-depth information, please DO NOT email me 
and talk about it. I've stated it VERY clearly in my first portion of this document, 
it IS _General_ and it IS NOT something that details further technical calculations 
for each of the Scenarios triggered as what you call it a "Guide". I'm not the 
professional who elucidates you every single detail about how the "Bond Rate" system 
works. I'm here to help those who are interested in clearing the game with a 100% 
Scenario Completion practically. The comprehensiveness of Bond Rate doesn't really 
tell you what to do, but it details you those complicated explanations with numerical 
calculations for each items, sub-characters' actions & reactions and how they break 
into the line with their scenarios against one another according to the "Bond". 
Moreover, the Bond Rate's value changes everytime you trigger a scenario at different 
places. It affects the "rate" at different actions, time, place, items given, your 
courtesy & friendliness towards the sub-characters, sub-characters' usage and their 
respective quests. It may be a good source of knowledge but it is a Japanese guide. If 
you're looking for that kind of information, go ahead and buy the official Japanese 
guide since my Scenario Route FAQ/Walkthrough doesn't detail in something theoretical. 
What's the point if my FAQ/Walkthrough is as comprehensive as the official guide? 

*Depth understanding does not always clear up everything*, just bare that in mind.

The content of this document contains major spoilers. If you're easily offended, 
please do not read further. So, use it at your own risk! You may ask for my permission

INTRODUCTION
======================================================================================
Since I last created a FAQ for the Japanese version of Onimusha 2, it's been about 2 
months until the US version is released. This time, I'm writing a Scenario Route 
FAQ/Walkthrough for both the NTSC/J and NTSC/UC designation of Onimusha 2: Samurai's 
Destiny. This is my second project on this title. This FAQ is written to provide 
_general_ information on Scenario Route for the game entitled Onimusha 2: Samurai's 
Destiny. Therefore, this FAQ does not include detailed info like "how many % is 
triggered for 1 scenario", it is to provide instructions and how you can trigger the 
particular scenario only. And, I'm willing to help fellow gamers that inquisitively 
want to clear the game with a 100% Scenario Route Completion. Upon a number of 
frequent asked questions on the "Scenario" feature, I decided to go chapter by chapter 
with adequate information if possible on how to clear every "trigger-able" scenario in 
the game. The content for some of the chapters of this guide contains a very brief 
Walkthrough guidance that might help your progress when you're having difficulties for 
the certain part of the game. 



======================================================================================
DEGREE of FRIENDSHIP / DEGREE of FRIENDLINESS (DoF)
======================================================================================
High Degree of Friendship
=========================
What does it mean by having a High Degree of Friendship? It relies heavily on the sub-
characters' responses when you hand over an item/gift to them. High Degree of 
Friendship is ensured by _only_ getting the *positive* responses from the sub-
characters after you give them an item/gift. You can identify their feelings about an 
item/gift that you give them very easily through their facial expressions and what 
they give you in return. Due to the majority of the scenarios in this game are 
triggered upon having a close friendship with the particular sub-character, you ought 
to plan which sub-character that you wish him/her to be your story partner before you 
decide to give him/her their items/gifts. 

In conjunction with the above-mentioned matter, you _must_ be knowledgeable in item-
exchange among all the sub-characters to guarantee you can maintain a long-lasting 
friendship with the particular sub-character. Thus, "The Save & Load Trick" was 
introduced. In case you have no idea of what to give, you are always recommended to 
save your game beforehand. Try to give an item to the particular sub-character to see 
their responses towards it. Then, judge it by yourself whether or not this item is 
worthy enough to trade for your friendship with him/her. 

However, there's a hint that indicates if you have raised your Degree of Friendship 
high enough with that particular sub-character. And it is, the "Bond Rate" concept. 
This concept is complicating and it is a waste of your and my time to experiment 
further into it. As a result, I'll summarize it for you. If you find yourself keep 
receiving Junk-Items in return after you've given plenty of precious items/gifts to 
the particular sub-character, that's the indication that, you have raised a total of 
600++ Bond Rate with the particular sub-character at Imasho Town, which means you will 
not receive any further items/gifts/equipments in return from him/her but keep 
receiving Junk-Items. In other words, you have already had a considerably high Degree 
of Friendship with that particular sub-character, which is a good news.

Note: Always help your allies when they need your help the most in a battle. Try to 
always clear the area with no monsters left before leaving the area to sustain your 
Degree of Friendship with him/her. If you do so, it will sometimes help increasing 
your DoF with him/her, but if you neglect him/her, that will results in a drastic 
drops of value.


Average Degree of Friendship
============================
Average Degree of Friendship is set at the Bond Rate of 300 ~ 400 for _each_ of the 
sub-characters, Magoichi, Ekei, Kotaro and Oyu. This is imperative and necessary for 
you to play their "Appear at a Coincidence" quests later in the game. Hence, it is not 
wise to focus on giving items/gifts to one sub-character that you wish him/her to be 
the story character. Instead, balance on your Degree of Friendship with all of them at 
an average rate of items allocation/sharing. You must be experienced in sharing items 
in order to allocate a balanced Degree of Friendship among all the sub-characters. 

In regards to some of the scenarios that require an average Degree of Friendship to be 
successfully accomplished, you can decrease the particular's sub-characters' Degree of 
Friendship with Jubei through some scenarios in the game by declining their requests. 
This results Jubei's Degree of Friendship with the particular one to drop drastically 
which you could probably fulfill the requirements for those scenarios that concerned 
an average DoF to be completed. 

As a suggestion, you can clear the game multiple times to find out your own formulas 
for items trading for an average rate of DoF or refer to my latest Misc. FAQ dated on 
09/02/02 at GameFAQs for assistance. The information is introduced and explained at 
the "Items Exchange" section that you can use it to your advantage when you need other 
items' info. 

After all, an Average Degree of Friendship will reward you with a "Friend" [仲良] bonus 
Sub-Rank at the end accompanying your Base Rank.

FAQ
+==+

Q: What are Junk-Items? 
A: 弾丸 Normal Bullets, 定角の矢 Normal Arrows and 長根の火矢 Fire Arrows.


Q: What exactly is "Appear at a Coincidence" Quest you mean in your FAQ/Walkthrough?

A: The playable quests for each sub-character associated with other triggerable 
scenarios in the game. These quests are counted as triggerable scenarios. It happens 
when Jubei needs their help the most, you couldn't change/determine which sub-
characters appear to aid Jubei at their respective place and time, the settings is 
default and it is not random. You need to _either_ equalize an Average DoF among all 
of them to be able to trigger these playable Scenario's Quests for all 4's in a single 
game _or_ raise a High DoF for the certain sub-character. 

How? Refer to "Average Degree of Friendship" section in this FAQ/Walkthrough or my 
General FAQ dated on 06/30/02 and search for the section "Items to their belongings" 
for an average give-outs of all items to balance your Friendship among all of them.

Their locations and appearance sequence are:
1st - 風魔 小太郎 Kotaro Fuma
(When Jubei was lost in the forest 3 times at 霧隠の谷 Fog Valley)

2nd - 小谷のお邑 Oyu of Odani
(When Jubei was injured at 鬼ヶ島 Oni's Sacred Place)

3rd - 安国寺 恵瓊 Ekei Ankokuji
(When Jubei was locked in a room at 岐阜城 Gifu Castle)

4th - 雑賀 孫市 Magoichi Saiga
(When Jubei was petrified by 藤吉郎 Tokichiro at 幻魔洞 Demon Cave)
-...-



======================================================================================
SCENARIO ROUTE FAQ/WALKTHROUGH
======================================================================================
There are a total of 10 chapters comprise of 100 scenarios available in the game. Some 
scenes are set at its "default" settings (Jubei's Scenes) in which you will trigger 
those necessary scenes to proceed, further in the game with a number of them consist 
of Oyu's events. Explanations will be given for all "trigger-able" scenarios. However, 
a number of scenes are "non-triggerable" which you need to do it _manually_. What I 
mean _manually_ is, you need to interact with the sub-character and "search & give" 
their Quest Items or Event Items to completely done with the scenario. As of the 
default game progress scenes, those are defined by the word *Default*. Words 
highlighted by an * are key words that triggers an event/scenario.


***Important Notice***
----------------------
Please note that all the scenarios _cannot_ be cleared with a 100% scenario completion 
in a _single_ game, usually a game with the range of 60% ~ 67% of scenario trigger 
percentage. Therefore, you have to replay the game at least 4-6 times in order to 
eventually unlock _all_ the scenarios. The percentage of Scenario Completion in the 
Scenario Route Viewer is being accumulated every time you clear a game and, the 
recorded results will not be erased. In other words, if you clear a game with a 65% of 
triggered scenario %, this result will be recorded in the Scenario Route Viewer based 
on all the triggered scenarios you've played in the particular game. Later if you 
clear another game with different triggerable scenarios, the latest result will be 
accumulated depending on which sub-characters' scenarios you've triggered as well as, 
unlock the "not-clear-yet" scenarios in the Scenario Route Viewer and allow you to 
view your progress of what you've unlocked. All scenarios cannot be skipped via Start 
button until you've cleared them all in a few "replay" games.

Before tracking back up to the Golden Mountain again, trigger Scenario #7, talk to 
Kotaro and give him the Globe 地球儀 and the Blue Parrot オウム 青. Exceptionally, DO NOT 
give any items to Ekei and Magoichi before you leave the Wine House in order to

Before leaving the Wine House, talk to Magoichi and give him 古文書 Ancient Documents, 
キセル Pipe, そろばん Abacus and 植物辞典 Plant Book. You should be able to receive a 
Secret Medicine and other gifts in return. If you wish, you may give _lesser_ gifts to 
both Ekei and Kotaro to maintain your DoF with Magoichi.

This scenario is a swap between Ekei's and Magoichi's. In case you give more items to 
Magoichi and only, you'll trigger this event in the cave at Golden Mountain. Else, 
Ekei will appear as its default settings if you don't give ANY items to the 3 (Ekei, 
Magoichi and Kotaro).

-Walkthrough-
=============
Go to the same route as I mentioned on Scenario # 9. Instead of Kotaro's event, you 
should be able to see Ekei resting on the wood. This is an indication telling you that 
which sub-characters' events will be triggered among these 3.

If none of them appears, it's Kotaro's event. Else if Ekei's resting on the wood, that 
will trigger Magoichi's event else, it's default by Ekei's event.

Grilled Fish, 扇子 Folding Fan and 天狗の面 Tengu Mask to raise your DoF with him at the

proceed.

-Advice-
========
Attack him with your Oni-Power whenever possible. By doing this, it allows him to 
release more yellow souls that can heal your life. When he's nearly defeated, he tends 
to use Stunner Jump multiple times, avoid it and don't block, it's unblockable and be 
careful for the dropping rocks.

Scenario # 19 - Triggerable: Kotaro's Event

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第二章 七節 コタロウとの出会い 二
US Inscription - CHAPTER 2 - 7 Meeting Kotaro 2

Available Item - 小判 Gold Coin (optional)

-FAQ-
=====
If you have not triggered Kotaro's first intro scene, you should be able to see him 
lying down near the panel. *TALK* to him to trigger his second Intro event. If you'd 
triggered his first intro event, you won't be able to trigger this event. Therefore, 
you need to alternatively skip the first intro event in order to trigger this scenario 
in the next game.

-Optional Side Quest-
=====================
After you trigger this event, go out to the town area and go to the ditch and you'll 
see a thin old balded man wandering back and forth around the ditch. Talk to him and 
he'll tell you that he saw a hand somewhere and was buried by a stray dog. 

Now, run up to the Golden Mountain and in front of the Guard's House (not inside the 
cave), see a dog there? Ok. Stand in front to the face of the dog and when it heads up 
and faces Jubei, press the Soul-Absorbent button ("X" for JP and "O" for US version) 
to do a _silly_ body language in front of the dog (you can also press the R1 or L1 
when it faces Jubei, just anything as long as your hands and body can move). 

-Here's a hint-
During the moment you're _communicating_ with the dog, you can identify whether or not 
you have done it correctly. Here it goes:

If you see the dog waves its tail at Jubei, that shows it will soon lead you to where 
the treasure is hidden and bark when it found the treasure. Simply examine the area it 
barks around to receive the Gold Coin 小判.

If the dog just strolls around and ignores you, you have to try again until it likes 
you, don't worry, it's easy to pamper the dog. Try until you get the Gold Coin 小判.


======================================================================================
Scenario # 20 - Non-Triggerable: Manually done: Magoichi's Event

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第二章 八節 硝子の絵図
US Inscription - CHAPTER 2 - 8 Picture Map for Potassium Nitrate

-FAQ-
======
Steps to follow:

-Step 1-
Give Magoichi items/gifts to raise your DoF with him at your first visit at the Wine 
House early after Scenario # 6. Or, if you have not already, then, give him items when 
you're in the Golden Mountain before Ginghamphatts battle earlier during Scenario # 
16. 

-Step 2-
After you come back to the town, head to the Wine House and you should be able to see 
the man with the Green Hachimaki who sold you the Permit earlier during your first 
visit at Imasho. Now, TALK to the man again and *buy* the 硝子の絵図 P. Nitrate Map, a 
map of the stones location. 

-Step 3-

Steps to follow:

-Step 1-
Talk to Ekei and give him Vodka during the first visit at the Wine House. You can also 
give him カエル Frog, わさび Wasabi, フォーク Fork, 焼魚 Grilled Fish, 扇子 Folding Fan and 
天狗の面 Tengu Mask to raise your DoF with him the first time you visit him. During your 
second visit at Imasho after receiving the Red Ring, go downstairs and *talk* to Ekei. 
He should tell you about a pickpocket woman. -Proceed to Step 2- 

On the other hand, if he tells you he wants something sweet, give him Confetti and 
talk to him again and he'll tell you about the pickpocket woman.

-Step 2-
Now, search for the girl beside the Stable, the girl who stands there is Suri -> talk 
to her -> go to the balcony of the Wine House -> talk to her -> go to the Ironsmith 
shop -> talk to her -> go to the Stable again -> talk to her and receive the 鳴らない鈴

come to a swamp, save your game here. Then, go to the passage on Jubei's right, you 
should be able to see Oyu's standing there, *talk* to her and choose Yes はい as your 
response to trigger this event. 

(Special Case)
You're advised to save your current progress at the Magic Mirror near the Swamp. This 
involves Scenario # 89 "Ekei's Last Moment". Which you'll need an Average Degree of

you don't have to replay a whole new game to trigger all Oyu's events if you have not 
already, as you can simply reload the game from here to trigger those of hers that 
haven't been.

-Advice-
========
Do what she tells you to. There'll be turns switch between her and 
Jubei. When she attacks you, just simply block. But when you see she's charging her 
weapon, immediately run out of sight to avoid her attacks. Then, she'll switch a turn 
that allows you to attack her. Attack her when she's standing, but DO NOT attack her 
when she falls. Do this until it's over and receive an item. 

If you do it perfectly _without_ taking any hits from her, she'll appreciate it and 
say "Thank You for your excellent lesson! That was very educational" and she'll give 
you the Senpumaru Combo Scroll.

Note: If you attack her while she's down, you won't receive any items when this scene 
is over. You're not allowed to take too much hits from her too(it's best to be less

Look out for the knives he throws at you. Hold the R1 button for the entire battle and 
use the D-Pad to evade them. He'll try to stinger you when you're at a distance, just 
dodge the attack. Good Luck!

==========
As mentioned before:
This time, equip the 氷刃槍 Hyoujin-Yari and keep performing this combo:

Raise your DoF with Ekei at Imasho at the very early stage of the game. 
If you don't give him any items, you'll just proceed through the game as usual. And;

*Note* 
This is the hint that tells you whether or not this scenario will be triggered:

a) If you can hear some Alligators bowing arrows at you in the room, that indicates 
that Ekei will not appear to help you, which means you won't be able to play his 
Quest.

b) As a contrary, if you don't see/hear any Alligator monsters shooting arrows at you, 
then that's the good news. You'll be able to trigger Ekei's Quest when you try to exit 
through the door.

-Walkthrough-

what attacks they are. Kill him with 7-hit-Issen-Dance to finish the battle much 
faster.

After all, kill him to end his legend! And receive the [礼] Respect Orb.

Scenario # 88 - Triggerable: Ekei's Event: Swap Event of Scenario #89

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第十章 一節 (一) エケイとの別れ
US Inscription - CHAPTER 10 - 1 - 1 Parting for Ekei

-FAQ-
=====
This scenario dues to the high Degree of Friendship with Ekei. As you know what to do, 
raise your DoF with him and play his part in the game until this scenario is 
automatically triggered.

-Walkthrough-
=============
At your final trip to the 岐阜城 Gifu Castle after the crash of the Flying Ancient, go 
to the main door on Jubei's left where there's a very familiar place you've seen in 
Onimusha 1. Go forward again to trigger this Scenario.


======================================================================================
Scenario # 89 - Triggerable: Ekei's Event: Swap Event of Scenario #88

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第十章 一節 (二) エケイの最期 家族のもとへ
US Inscription - CHAPTER 10 - 1 - 2 Ekei's Last Moment
 
Event Item - Ekei's Keepsake

-FAQ-
=====
-Average Degree of Friendship with *Oyu*- (Special Case)
I suggest you save your game after Ginghamphatts' 2nd battle. Save your game at the 
Magic Mirror near the swamp as you're convenient and you can simply reload the game 
from there to continue triggering Oyu's Scenario # 49 "Fencing Lessons for Oyu". 
(Don't know what I'm talking about? Go to Scenario # 49).

You need an Average Degree of Friendship with Oyu in order to trigger this event. As 
you already knew, raise your DoF with her at the beginning of the game before leaving 
Imasho and skip Scenario # 49 "Fencing Lessons for Oyu" by choosing "No" as your 
response. Why? Because this results your DoF with Oyu to drop drastically, which this 
scenario (Scenario # 89) will be available later in the game. In case you have a 
_high_ DoF with Oyu, you won't be able to trigger this scenario.

Therefore, select not to give the lessons for Oyu to affect/decrease her DoF with you 
and play the game until here to trigger this event. Ekei decided to work for Nobunaga, 
give him a lesson by slashing him up until he remake his decision instead of giving 
Oyu a lesson for the game. He dies and leaves his amulet for you (Ekei's Keepsake).

Note: You will not be able to trigger this scenario too if your Degree of Friendship 
with Ekei is high.


======================================================================================
Scenario # 90 - Default

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第十章 二節 ギンガムファッツ最終戦
US Inscription - CHAPTER 10 - 2 Ginghamphatts' Final Battle

-Walkthrough-
=============
Kill all the monsters that get in your way and enter the main door in the Gifu Castle 
at the top floor. Climb the ladder behind the narrow path and kill the Giant-Skull-
Absorber to receive the Gold Scale. Use the Gold Scale on the golden design to unseal 
the curse. Run down all the way into the Snake-like Genma Arena and go up the stairs 
to trigger this event. Kill him and receive the [勇] Strength Orb.

-Advice-
========
Use your Oni-Power whenever possible! Watch out for his Stunner Jump attack this time, 
you won't be able to identify his attack so precisely from some angles. Thus, keep 
your position at a camera angle where you can see him clearly and avoid his Stunner 
Jump attack whenever necessary. You can't rely on block, just a reminder.


======================================================================================
Scenario # 91 - Triggerable: Oyu & Kotaro's Event

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第十章 三節 コタロウ無残
US Inscription - CHAPTER 10 - 3 Kotaro's Tragedy 

-FAQ-
=====
-High Degree of Friendship with Kotaro-
Raise your DoF with Kotaro before leaving Imasho. During the midst of the battle, Oyu 
is stunned by Ginghamphatts' blow and falls back a distance, Kotaro appears to help 
Oyu but... -proceed to Scenario # 94-

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第十章 四節 (二) マゴイチとの別れ

-FAQ-
=====
-High Degree of Friendship-
Again, as I keep repeating myself, raise your DoF with Magoichi and play his part 
until here. This scenario will automatically triggered if you did saw he came to your 
assist during Scenario # 37. 

As the battle begins, slash up Ginghamphatts until he receives certain damage and 
watch the scene for yourself. -=Scenario Triggered=-

Designation version:

US Inscription - CHAPTER 10 - 5 Kotaro's Last Moment
 
-FAQ-
=====

Ginghamphatts Scythe, *talk* to Oyu to trigger this scenario.


======================================================================================
Scenario # 95 - Triggerable: Oyu's Event: Swap Event of Scenario #96

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第十章 六節 (一) オユウとの別れ 二人だけの世界
US Inscription - CHAPTER 10 - 6 - 1 A Word for Two

-FAQ-
=====
-High Degree of Friendship with Oyu-
This event is triggered when if you have a high DoF with Oyu. Give her all her 
equipments and not to forget the Pair Ring at the early stages around your third visit 
at Imasho. Enjoy the scene for yourself!

-Walkthrough-
=============
This scenario switches between Scenario # 96 depending on your DoF with Oyu. Simply go 
in front of the ancient elevator and trigger it then use the [勇] Strength Orb. A scene 
will be triggered.


======================================================================================
Scenario # 96 - Triggerable: Oyu's Event: Swap Event of Scenario #95

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第十章 六節 (二) オユウとの別れ もう一息の通じ合い
US Inscription - CHAPTER 10 - 6 - 2 Their Lines Crossed

-FAQ-
=====
-Average Degree of Friendship with Oyu-
This Scenario is somewhat default too. If you don't give any items to any of the sub 
characters, that's a high opportunity to trigger this scene. 

By the same line, there's a different criteria that needs to be fulfilled in order to 
trigger this event. You need a _High Degree of Friendship_ either with Kotaro, Ekei or 
Magoichi instead of Oyu. Just try to give precious items to either of the 3 at your 
early visits at Imasho whenever possible and you'll get to trigger this event instead 
of Scenario # 95.

-Walkthrough-
=============
Use the [勇] Strength Orb in front of the Ancient Elevator to see them hugging.


======================================================================================
Scenario # 97 - Default (Movie)

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第十章 七節 信長最終戦開始 復讐劇の終末へ
US Inscription - CHAPTER 10 - 7 Battle against Nobunaga

Watch the CG movie and the battle starts as soon as the movie is finished.

-Advice-
========
Be prepared. Try to keep at his attack range, block and evade his attacks while you 
can. Equip the Purple Necklace 紫の首飾 you get from the Green Phantom Realm and use 
your Oni-Power against him for better advantage. If you like, you can refer to my 
current FAQ for the Japanese version of Onimusha 2 for a strategy to attack him with 
Flash attacks. Or, stick it to your toe and don't hesitate. Else, the consequence will 
be ugly.


======================================================================================
Scenario # 98 - Default (Movie)

Designation version:
JP Inscription - 第十章 八節 黄金魔神像降臨
US Inscription - CHAPTER 10 - 8 Advent of Golden Evil Statue

Watch the cool CG and that's the Final Boss Battle!

-Advice-
==========
1.) Stay far away from him to avoid him from triggering his Inferno attack(Jet Flame). 
2.) It can be very annoying when he launches his Mask attacks, just maintain your 
patience and hold your breath until he's defeated!

-Tips-
======
1.) Press the L1 button to block his Homing Fires attack whenever possible. 
2.) Shoot your energy blasts whenever you have the chance.
3.) Watch his left hand, if it turns red, look at Jubei's current position and it'll 
have a circular red light. Move away in any direction to avoid the columns.
4.) After a certain time, he'll move forward towards you, keep moving back to maintain 
your distance for safety guarantee.
5.) Move horizontally while having the R1 button held down all the time to avoid all 
his attacks.

Good Luck!
