===============================================================================
+  Version 1.0 [March 22, 2001]
Bought Onimusha several days ago. The game is somewhat challenging but short
so I decided to  do a FAQ on it.  This  will be  my second  FAQ.  Let's see,
it's exactly 22 days after the first one.  I'm on Spring Break! :)
+  Version 2.0 [March 23, 2001]
Worked  on walkthrough  some more.  Just added a  couple of things.  Nothing
special.
+  Version FINAL [March 24, 2001]
Completed the  walkthrough...finally.  Worked a bit more  on the FAQ.  Not a
lot else to do.  Just the Dark Realm and Oni Spirits. Completed those, also.
Not a lot of versions in  the FAQ.  Yes, that's right.  Only took me 3 days!
+  UPDATE [March 30, 2001]
Yay, the first update!  I apparently missed something important in the Water
Gardens.  But an observant gamer (probably better than me) e-mailed me. It's
a Talisman!  Which revives you when you die.  It's very useful!
Also added GameFAQs.com to the Thank You list.  How silly of me...

»»»»»[ Weapons ]«««««
»»»»»»»»»»»««««««««««
+  NORMAL SWORD
This sword stands  the lowest when it  comes to attacking.  You'll start out
with it at the beginning of the game.  It is not advisable to use this sword
later in the game.  It deals the least  damage and cannot use magic  spells.
+  RAIZAN
This sword uses the  power of thunder.  It deals damage that is on par  with
the other magical swords. It can be upgraded to level three.  Use this sword
when encountering a small group of enemies.
+  ENRYUU
This sword is the heaviest of the three.It uses the power of fire and hence,
deals quiet a bit of damage.  Again, it can be upgraded to to a max level of
three.  The spell hits your target and any other baddies nearby.
+  SHIPPUU
This sword,though the coolest looking, doesn't deal a lot of damage. But its
spell is devastating.  It can hit multiple targets. Use it when encountering
large groups of enemies.
+  BOW
This weapon is your friend when you want to hit an enemy hiding on rooftops.
It uses normal arrows that can be upgraded to fire arrows.
+  MATCHLOCK
This weapon is the equivalent of a  shotgun in the Resident Evil series.  It
uses bullets  that can be upgraded to  burst bullets, which can hit multiple
targets.  This is the best weapon to  be used against bosses or large groups
of enemies.  Don't waste it.  It is very useful for the last bosses.

»»»»»»»»»»»»»»«««««««««««««««
+  HEALING
There are several ways that you can heal your character.One is buy powerups.
There are three types of powerups you can  get in the game.  There are herbs
and medicine. Which, you guessed it, medicines are more rare than herbs. One
other type of powerup is the talisman.  Which, can revive  your character if
he's fatally wounded.  This item  is VERY rare.  Don't rely on it.  Powerups
are not plenty, so only use them when needed.
One other way is by sucking up enemies souls.There are three types of souls:
red, yellow,  and blue.  Yellow  doesn't appear  that often  compared to its
brothers.  Yellow heals your character up by a small amount depending on how
large the size of the soul is. Blue regenerates your magic by a small amount
and red stores it for later to be used for enhancements.
+  ENHANCEMENTS
Although red souls  appear all the time, they are  not enough to  distribute
too all  your items.  Always enhance any herbs  to medicine first.  Then you
can work on your weapons. You don't need fire arrows and burst bullets until
very late in the game.  Herbs will enhance to medicine, which is VERY useful
at the most hated times!
To enhance, go  up to a magic mirror  and select "enhance".  Choose the item
you wish to enhance and hold >
