Onimusha: Warlords Cheats

Onimusha: Warlords cheat codes, tricks, hints, and walk throughs.

Unlockable: All 20 Flourites

There are 20 special rocks--called Flourites--stashed throughout the game. Finding them all is difficult, but will reap great rewards. If you finish the game with all 20 Flourites, a mini-game called "Oni Spirits" will be unlocked. The Vision Staff, which can be found near the Bishamon shrine in the West Area, is very helpful in locating Flourites. As soon as you possess it, the rare items will shine, making them much easier to spot. However, you'll have to find the first nine on your own. Below, you'll find a list of every single Flourite in the game.

1. In one of the small alcoves with brown doors near the Seiryu in the Under Temple area.
2. Just after the boss fight in the South area, break a couple of urns and search the floor under them to find the Flourite.
3. In the Keep, after running into Kaede with Yumemaru, you'll find the Flourite in a little cupboard over the treasure box near the stairs.
4. On the upstairs level of the Keep, through the room just past the red magic door on the catwalk. Step through the next room and find the Flourite under the stairs near the treasure box containing the Arrows.
5. In the upper reaches of the Keep, you will find a Flourite across from Volume two of the Seiryu right after the cut scene where Tokichiru takes off into the night.
6. In the Keep Underground, head down the second hall of glass-encased red samurai. In the left corner (near the last samurai), you'll discover the Flourite.
7. In the Keep Underground, find a Flourite inside the iron maiden in the same room where you get the Blue Key.
In the West Area, when playing as Kaede, find the secret room (use the Gear to enter). In front of the Buddha statue here is a Flourite.
9. While playing as Kaede in the West Area, you will step into a burning room just past the gate that required the Gold and Silver Plates. Through the door left of this entrance is a narrow staircase. Next to the staircase in a heap of barrels, you'll find the Flourite.
10. In the West area, you'll find a Flourite just outside the door after obtaining the Vision Staff with Samanosuke.
11. In the West area, find a Flourite on the hill with the sled just outside the castle.
12. In the West Area, you'll find a Flourite blinking in the path on your way to the room with the statue (where you got the Matchlock).
13. In the East Area (with Samanosuke), atop the roof there is a bell. In the walkway around the bell is a Flourite.
14. While playing as Samanosuke, collect the Flourite on the pier just past the Magic Mirror room in the East Area.
15. In the East Area, just when you begin playing as Kaede, you will enter a shrine just past the locked door you pick. A Flourite is on the floor just to the right of the door.
16. While playing as Kaede in the East Area, climb a ladder in the bridge house Magic Mirror room. Destroy the crates here to find another Flourite.
17. In the East Area, while playing as Kaede, you can find another Flourite atop a chest in the room where you get the final book of the Suzaku.
18. Sixth level of the Dark Realm
19. Eleventh level of the Dark Realm
20. Seventeenth level of the Dark Realm

Unlockable: Alternate Costumes

If you want your character to look a little different, simply complete the game one time and then start a new game after saving. You will see a "Normal/Special" option. If you select the Special option you will appear in a special panda suit.

Unlockable: 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 (20th) while collecting all the items in route. There will be no monsters to kill on the last level. Open the box to get the Bishamon O flute. Keep the flute just before the last fight with the Demon King.

Unlockable: Bishamon Sword

Fight through all 20 levels of the Dark Realm. Kill all of the monsters on the 20th level, then open the treasure box here to discover the Bishamon Ocarina. Then, in the area just beyond the second Marcellus boss fight, use the Ocarina on the bone door here to open it. Then head inside and claim the prize, a sword with unlimited magic which will kill any non-boss character in a single swipe. A powerful ally, indeed.

Unlockable: Easy Mode

There are two ways of unlocking the easy mode:
1. Beat the game 4 times to make the Easy Mode avalible.
2. If Osric beats you 5 times or more, the Easy Mode will be unlocked.

Unlockable: Oni Spirits

If you collect all 20 Flourites and finish the game, the mini-game Oni Spirits will be unlocked. For a full description of where to find each Flourite, read the Flourites section of this guide.

Unlockable: Oni Spirits and An Arsenal

If you make it past all 12 levels of the extremely challenging Oni Spirits mini-game, you will unlock a gameplay option that will allow you to start the regular game with a wonderful array of toys. Not only do you get to play through the game with the Bishamon Sword, but you get unlimited Arrows and Bullets, and begin with 99 Soul Absorbers in your inventory. In addition, any magic you use will automatically respawn after the attack. With this at your disposal, beating the game again and unlocking everything else will be a cinch!

Unlockable: Onimusha 2 Trailer

Finish the game on any difficulty to unlock a sneak preview of Onimusha: Warlords 2. When you go back to the main menu after saving, go to Special Feature to view the preview footage.

Unlockable: Preview for Onimusha 2

After you complete the game for the first time, it will prompt you to save. Do so, and then start a new game. View the "Special Report" to see a small preview of Onimusha 2, which apparently takes place about 10 years after the events in this game.

Unlockable: the Panda Suit

If you collect 10 or more Flourites during the course of the game, and successfully finish, there will be an extra costume available for Samanosuke when you begin a new game... a cuddly panda suit! When you restart, select Samanosuke-Extra to play as the big bear. Note the daisy gauntlet and stuffed friend in the mucus pouch. Don't you love being a marsupial? During gameplay, use L2 to wear the head on or off.

Hint: What's Your Grade?

Onimusha: Warlords allows you the opportunity to rate your progress, based on a series of points. The perfect score is 30, meaning you have to score all available points in three categories: Time taken to complete

Up to 3 Hours= 10 points
3-4 Hours= 7 points
4-5 Hours= 5 points
5 or more Hours=3 points

Number of demons killed

0-399= 3 points
400-499= 5 points
500-599= 7 points
600 or more= 10 points

Number of souls collected by the gauntlet

0-34,999= 3 points
35,000-44,999= 5 points
45,000-54,999= 7 points
55,000 or more= 10 points

The points add up as follows:

0-9= D
10-17= C
18-24= B
25-29= A
30= S

If you score a perfect 30 and earn an S rating, Kaede will get a special costume of her own... and it's quite demonic. Access it from the same menu as Samanosuke's Panda outfit.
