After the four guardians present themselves, click on the map. The Heiankyo tab will bring you into the game. THE STREET Get mirror Retrieve Tsuna's amulet from Tsukumogami (I think it's him) Get clothing from corpse, I think taking the money affects your karma - Go left & there is a patch of grass here that shakes when you click on it, but nothing comes out If you click on the door before talking with Tsuna, a demon- ic voice says, 'Go back' Encounter with Wantanabe no Tsuna, trade amulet for sword Either go thru door OR follow cat thru crack in wall Receive info about Jizo statue Get money from corpse, may affect your karma The house on the right has an 'eerie music theme' when you pass in front of it, but nothing else happens, & you can't go in. I think something does happen later on, though LATER ON - I came back here after using the cart & still nothing happened. Go figure Meet ghosts of P'ohai ambassadorial entourage Two long-winded old farts - don't bother Dog eating corpse - you may come here more than once Click on the dog the & another dog will come & kill him & start eating him Group of beggars; if you give money, the bearded one will tell you to look for Nichizo Player is mistaken for High Steward Okimi, manuvered to lady's house, girl's employer is killed by demon Outside, player is warned by elderly Jizo worshipper about sleeping in abandoned buildings The Gitcho incident Kanzan Stone arrives Another group of beggars outside market door; one warns you about Madame Moneylender Encounter with Nichizo, go on temple tour Tease the demon at the wrecked cart with the sutra scroll Investigate yin-yang altar for an encounter with Kamo no Tadayuki View the three demons nearby crafting a person from a corpse, they will confront you Tadayuki shows up and the demons will run off, he will give a speech about the recent events To the best of my knowledge, at this point you have complet- ed all the encounters for this stage of the game. In order to continue, go to the market. THE MARKET Weapons (Bow only) Madame Moneylender Medicine Sandals Sushi & dried fish Seafood (carp, sardines, clams) Rice cakes, potatoes & vegetables Fruits Rice & salt 'horned basin'? The Five Beggars (for some reason, you can't give them any money, I don't know if this affects your karma) There is a frequent event of a guy coming out & puking up his guts. If he wasn't drinking, makes you wonder if you can trust the food there, huh? There's also someone seen ducking into an alley, but I couldn't follow him. (Later, on closer inspection, it looks like a demon) Kuya, sage of the marketplace, preaching to the choir The Cockfighting ring The turning point in this area is the Kawaranoin event. Help the captive girl (use the sword, not the money) & follow thru to where she is killed. THE PATH TO THE PALACE If you go back in thru the Kawaranoin gate, you'll meet the ghost of the house who will give you info about the mansion & the grounds (if you answer Yes to his question). If you answer No, he'll kick you out. You can't enter the house again on your own. Avoid talking to thieves, there's a good chance they'll kill you. They appear in groups of one to three. One of the thieves actually ran from me (is he really a thief?) There are a few houses in this stage with guards, if you approach they'll tell you to get lost, because you appear to be a commoner Misc. crowd, with carts behind them, no info available The Yugao encounter Meet Yugao at Kawaranoin as she requests & a ghost will kill her Funeral procession: follow & you'll witness the following events a murder of crows pecking on a body (approach & they'll fly away) a corpse decomposing before your eyes the well of Chinkoji, which will give you a glimpse into Hell One of the events here involves a snake. Not very remarkable by itself, but click on the rock at the left side of the screen, and a woman jumps out. She says she collects snake meat & sells it as fish meat. Go Figure... The flying kimono: if you have a bow, shoot an arrow at it & it will kill you; if not, the guys will say, 'Too bad', & continue watching the kimono Ghost of the Demon Hall: this is an event with continual rain, thunder & lightning. Some players may become frustrat- ed & reset. There is a point where an exit cursor comes up, but I don't know how to activate it. Just click around & it'll come up - once I right clicked & got it. But I think it appears randomly, though Dr. Yasutane's defense of a horse The Gion Festival The Zennyo sighting The Devil challenges the player to a backgammon match: If you lose, he kills you. I've never been able to win (I'm not very good at backgammon anyway), so I don't know what the alternate scene is The Pandemonium event: If you only have the sword, prepare to die. I hope you got the sutra from Nichizo - it's a better outcome. The Kettle Fairy The Water Fairy - look for the broken gate Demon of the Suzaku Villa - you'll see a man lying asleep at one of the houses. You can take his bow & bag (may affect your karma). He'll wake up screaming that a demon stole the items. Nue the Chimera - appears like the Zennyo, in a cloud pass- ing overhead Another version of the Pandemonium event, with different demons Ghost of the Glowing House Encounter with Genshin The Demon Plank - on the 2nd encounter, he ran from me. But the third time I wasn't quick enough with my sword, & it killed me. 2nd encounter with Wantanabe no Tsuna Tsuchigumo - the spider demon with the skeletons of 1990 victims inside him The Demonic Oil Jug Higashino Toin Oji - ghostly figures run across the street Sometimes you may encounter a single demon - show him the sutra & he'll flee, of course The Buried Curse Abe no Seimei and the Puppet Demons The Ghost-in-Life from Omi God of Epidemics - a ghost which identifies himself as High Counselor Tomo no Yoshio, says you'll meet him later Encounter with Miyoshi no Kiyotsura The Shinsen'en Garden - after this event, you find yourself outside the gate. You once again meet the elderly Jizo worshipper who gives you her insight on the temple. I think that's it for this section. TSUCHIMIKADO - at the palace gates Somewhere in here you'll see a carriage with no driver. Get in & you'll be dropped off near the point where the Gitcho incident occured. Get back in & you'll return to where you started from. (Once the carriage is underway, click right when the arrow shows up & you can open the view panel. You can watch the scenery, but there's not much to see, & the trip will not end until you close the panel & face front). To reach the Utage Pine Forest, return to the point where you are facing north just inside the gate. Go North 6x, West 2x, North 2x. A Woman eaten near the palace Fox of Utage The Blue Light at Oten Gate Oten Gate Conspiracy - High Counselor Tomo no Yoshio: Hmmm, we meet again A Palace Official Eaten - when the demon confronts you, flash the sutra, then take his victim's clothes. Go to the Kenrei Gate & thru the Shomei Gate This is why you need to change clothes. Approach the gate beforehand, it will be blocked by guards WARNING: Once you go thru the Kenrei Gate, you cannot return! ENDGAME Enter the Shishinden Speak to Emperor Kammu Follow thru to the Thunderbolt event Follow the Pale Figure (Emperor Diago) Answer 'No' to both questions View the tortures in Hell Click on the hooded figure Nichizo comes & takes him away Nichizo recognizes you & converses with you Answer 'Yes' to both his questions Keep scrolling left or right until you see the light he mentions Enter & go left or right until you see Kuya performing a funeral ritual over a body Listen to his speech & repeat his mantra Credits roll THE END Notes: It is possible to complete the game without the sword & money, but there is one point when possession of the sutra is essential. At the 'A Palace Official Eaten' event, you need to change clothes. It is possible to avoid the demon in the event 'Woman eaten near the palace', just don't go to that screen. If you get killed by either of these two demons, you wind up back at the palace gates. But since you need the clothes, you need to get rid of the demon. If you haven't gotten the sutra by this point, you can still go back & get it from Nichizo. I used the cart, jumped out, moved up a couple of screens, & there he was (I don't know if it'll work if you met him before & re- fused his offer). In my opinion this is the only point in the game where the sutra is needed - that is, if you don't mind dying & being reincarnated when you encounter the other demons. I also think it's possible to make it to the endgame section without dying (you need to die & be reincarnated here in order to advance), but you defin- itely need the sutra (I haven't tested this theory tho). Avoiding the thieves will also increase your chances. Another interesting scene occurs near the end of the game. Simply answer 'No' to either of Nichizo's questions when you meet him in Hell. He will make a statement about leaving you to suffer the tortures. This is your opportu- nity to view most, if not all, of the tortures in the game. When you have seen them all, the hotspots will show up blank when you click on them, just the same way it happens if & when you've been here before. Now keep clicking right or left, & the blue light that is your exit will appear. Go thru & chat with Kuya as usual - despite your choice, he doesn't act any different (if he knew of it). EOF
