 I. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
*************************

--OVERVIEW
  Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly (FF2 hereafter) is Tecmo's latest
survival-horror masterpiece.  This game combines an intriguing storyline,
terrifying setting, and rich battle system to make for a truly scary game
experience.  The eerie music and sound effects complement the haunting visuals
perfectly.  In short, FF2 is an engrossing, frightening, and fun game that
should hold a proud place among other games of the survival-horror genre and
stands as a very nice successor its predecessor, Fatal Frame.
  In FF2, you will control Mio and (to a much lesser extent) her twin sister
Mayu as they become trapped in a haunted village and try to find their way out.
 This "Lost Village", properly named All God's Village, was once the home of a
horrible appeasement ritual designed to placate an evil chthonian deity that
dwells deep beneath the ground.  In order to prevent earthquakes and other
signs of the gods' disfavor, a ceremony called the Crimson Sacrifice was used. 
One day long ago, this ritual went horribly wrong and the entire population of
the village was wiped out.  Now the desolate village is haunted by the ghosts
of its citizens and persists in an eternal darkness; any who dare venture into
it are trapped, their souls adding to the panoply of undead that endlessly
stalk the dusty streets...  It's a place of evil and horror.  This is where Mio
and Mayu find themselves when the game begins.  Your sole defense against the
ghosts is the Camera Obscura, a supernatural invention that can, to quote the
inventor, 'take pictures of impossible things'.  By taking pictures of ghosts
you will be able to seal them away, which not only protects you from their
baneful touch but can also reveal clues to the history of the village. 
Unraveling the mystery of what caused the village to become a haunted derelict
and revealing the true nature of the Crimson Sacrifice ritual is a main part of
the plot in FF2.

--COMPARISONS TO FATAL FRAME 1 (FF1)
  If you have played the first Fatal Frame you will find a lot of familiar
similarities in FF2, but there are also very important differences.  If you
haven't played Fatal Frame, this section will be of little or no interest to
you.
  First, FF2 is much bigger.  All God's Village is full of places to
visit...none of them pleasant.  The four main buildings are the homes of the
village's four most influential families: Osaka, Kiryu, Tachibana, and
Kurosawa.  The Kurosawa Mansion alone is almost as big as Himuro Mansion from
the first game.  In addition to these four houses there are several ancillary
locations: a temple, a cemetery, etc.  There are lot more open spaces in FF2
than in FF1, which is nice, but inside the houses are plenty of cramped,
claustrophobic rooms that you will have the pleasure of battling ghosts in.
  The stories of the two games are very similar: a habitation built on top of a
portal to hell, an appeasement ritual of sacrifice that went horribly wrong,
etc.  In both games you control a young and intrepid girl who must face
terrible evil spirits that would reduce most people to a helpless panic.  In
both games the main character is motivated by a desire to rescue a sibling that
has been possessed by ghosts.  If you liked the story of FF1 and wanted more,
this is a good thing.  FF2 is a true sequel in this regard.  One of the core
spirits in FF2 is a young girl named Sae; this girl is the twin sister of Yae,
the grandmother of Miku in FF1; this relationship provides a strong link of
continuity between the two games.
  FF2 is more densely packed with ghosts than FF1.  You will encounter
vanishing ghosts all over the place.  And unlike FF1, you are often faced with
multiple attacking ghosts in FF2; about half of the battles in FF2 involve more
than one ghost.
  There are differences in the way the camera works between the two games.  In
FF1, the Bonus Functions that you could combine with your camera, such as the
Slow Function and See Function, were severely limited due to the fact that you
had to supply a Spirit Stone every time you wanted to use them, and there were
not a lot of these stones to be found in the game.  In FF2 the camera is much
improved by the Power-Up Lens system.  These Lenses have the same effect as the
Bonus Functions in FF1, but using them is much easier.  The only regrettable
change in camera operation is the absence of a 'turn-around' button; in FF1 you
could press the Triangle Button while looking through the Finder to do a quick
180, but in FF2 this button is used for another purpose.  But overall, using
the camera is more flexible and fun than in the first game.
  The best improvement made in FF2 is in the quality and variety of the
puzzles.  FF1 had some drearily repetitive puzzles, particularly the
sliding-tile locks that were found on several doors.  FF2 does a good job of
providing you with a nice array of DIFFERENT puzzles that are more fun than in
the first game.
  FF2 also has more secrets than FF1.  There are many side quests that you can
undertake to obtain powerful camera upgrades and other things, which makes the
gameplay less linear and predictable.
  Overall I would say that FF2, while basically rehashing the formula of its
predecessor, is a definite improvement, with better graphics, puzzles, and
camera control.  If you liked FF1 you will probably LOVE FF2.  I sure did.



************************
 II. THE CAMERA OBSCURA
************************
  The Camera Obscura is your sole weapon and main tool in FF2.  You will use
the Camera to battle ghosts and to reveal hidden clues.  At first the Camera is
fairly weak, but as you progress through the game you will be able to obtain
special Lenses and other Equipment that will make the Camera much stronger. 
Most of the Camera's functions can also be upgraded by spending Spirit Points,
which I will detail later on in this section.

A. CONTROLS
***********
--CIRCLE BUTTON: This switches you in and out of Finder Mode, which gives you a
first-person perspective through the viewfinder of the Camera.  You must be in
Finder Mode to use the Camera.
--L STICK: Aim.  You can switch the up/down axis for aiming from the Options
Menu.
--R STICK: Move.  You can move while you are aiming.  It's crucial during
battles for you to be able to move and take pictures at the same time.
--X BUTTON: Take a picture.  Same as the R1 Button.
--SQUARE BUTTON: Accelerate aim.  Press this while moving the L Stick to
quickly change your aim.  You will probably end up using this all the time.
--TRIANGLE BUTTON: Use Power-Up Lens.  Obviously, you can only use this if you
have a Power-Up Lens equipped, and if you have enough Spirit Power to discharge
the Lens (see Power-Up Lenses, below).
--R1 BUTTON: Take a picture.  Same as the X Button.
--L1 BUTTON: Switch Lens.  You can only use this button after you have obtained
an item for your Camera (the Switch Function) that allows you to equip multiple
Lenses.
--R2 & L2 BUTTONS: Zoom in and out with the Zoom Function.  You will only get
the Zoom Function after you have completed the game.

B. FINDER MODE
**************
  When you are in Finder Mode, there are number of indicators that appear on
the screen.  This section provides a breakdown of what it all means.
--CAPTURE CIRCLE: This is the big circle in the middle of the screen.  This
circle lights up when you have a ghost in your sights.  If you are facing an
attacking ghost, the circle will be red.  If you are facing a hidden or
otherwise benign ghost, the circle will turn blue.  In either case, if the
circle isn't lit up, your shot will not be effective.  You can expand the
radius of this circle by purchasing upgrades.
--SPIRIT WAVE GUAGE: This is the ring of kanji around the Capture Circle.  When
you are battling with a ghost, this gauge will progressively light up as you
aim.  This process is accompanied by a characteristic buzzing sound.  It
basically indicates how much damage your shot will inflict, although many other
factors such as the type of film you are using and the timing of your shot will
also affect damage.  When the Spirit Wave Gauge turns bright red, you can take
a Zero Shot (see Shutter Moments below).
--LOCK CIRCLE: This is a smaller, faint circle within the Capture Circle.  It
marks the center of a ghost and provides the target at which you should aim. 
If the Lock Circle is not within the Capture Circle when you take your shot, it
will have no effect.  The closer you can align the Lock Circle with the
crosshair at the center of the screen, the more effective your shot will be.
--HP GUAGE: The amber meter in the upper left corner shows how many HP the
ghost you are battling has.  You must have the Measure Function equipped to see
this meter.
--FILAMENT: The Filament is in the top center of the screen, and it glows in
reaction to nearby ghosts.  The intensity of the glow increases if you are
facing the ghost, which is useful for tracking ghosts that are hidden behind
walls or other obstacles.  The glow also intensifies in reaction to the ghost's
proximity.  A red glow indicates an attacking ghost, and a blue glow indicates
a benign ghost.
--FATAL FRAME INDICATOR: If you have the Instant Function equipped, then a red
light underneath the Filament will flash when a Fatal Frame moment occurs.  If
you have the Alarm Function equipped, then the indicator will chime in addition
to flashing.
--FILM COUNTER: In the upper right corner is a display showing what type of
film you have loaded and how many shots you have remaining.  The row of dots
underneath this display shows the reloading time after you have taken a shot.
--HEALTH METER: The vertical blue meter in the lower right corner shows Mio's
remaining health.
--POWER-UP LENS: The currently equipped Power-Up Lens will be displayed in the
lower left corner.  If you can equip multiple lenses (with the Switch
Function), your alternate lenses will be displayed above the one currently
active.  If you have multiple Lenses equipped, you can switch them with the L1
Button.
--SPIRIT POWER STOCK METER: Whenever you attack a ghost, the damage you inflict
is absorbed by your camera.  The amount of damage absorbed is indicated by this
meter, which is in the lower left corner.  When the meter is full, your stocked
Spirit Power will increase by one.
--SPIRIT POWER: The number of units of Spirit Power that you have absorbed is
displayed in the lower left corner as a row of glowing dots.  At first, you can
only stock one unit of Spirit Power, but by purchasing upgrades you can
increase this amount to four units.  Spirit Power is used to activate the
Power-Up Lenses.

C. FILM
*******
  There are several types of film that you can load into your Camera Obscura. 
The type of film that you have loaded determines the base damage that your
shots will inflict.  The different films also vary in their loading times.  The
weakest type, Type-07 Film, is always available in unlimited quantity, so you
will never be completely out of film.  The other types of film, however, are
limited and you must find boxes of them to replenish your supply.  The
strongest films are rare, so conserve them for the toughest battles.
--TYPE-07 FILM: The weakest film.  Slow loading time.  You never run out of
this kind of film.
--TYPE-14 FILM: Weak film.  Slow loading time.  Fairly common film; you will
find boxes of this all over the place.
--TYPE-61 FILM: Good film.  Fast loading time.  Uncommon to find early in the
game, but still not all that rare.
--TYPE-90 FILM: Strong film.  Fast loading time.  Rare film that you won't find
very much of.
--TYPE-ZERO FILM: Strongest film.  Very slow loading time.  This film is very
rare; you will only find a few shots worth of this film during the game.  Save
it for the final boss.

D. SHUTTER MOMENTS & BONUSES
****************************
  When you are fighting ghosts, there are several factors that can influence
your damage and your score.  Naturally, the more damage you inflict, the higher
your score will be.  After you have taken a picture, the ghost HP Meter in the
upper left will display the damage inflicted.  Immediately after that, your
score and any bonuses you have earned will also be displayed in blue in the
upper left corner.  Most of these bonuses can stack together; this is the key
to earning a very high score.  In this section I provide a list of the various
bonuses you can get, and what you must do to get them.
--ZERO SHOT: This is the most fundamental bonus that you can get.  To get this
bonus, you must hit the ghost during a "shutter moment", which occurs when the
ghost is attacking you or is otherwise particularly vulnerable.  Identifying a
Shutter Moment is easy: your Spirit Wave Gauge will turn bright red, and your
camera will zoom in a little bit.  Also, the buzzing sound your camera makes
when you are charging a shot will become louder and higher in pitch.  If you
take a picture during this brief moment, you will earn the Zero Shot, which
will basically inflict double damage and will also stun the ghost and push it
away from you.  Hitting ghosts with a Zero Shot is your primary strategy during
battles; normal shots are quite weak and are practically a waste of film.
--FATAL FRAME: During a Shutter Moment, there will be a split second within
that time when the ghost becomes even MORE vulnerable.  This tiny moment is
called a 'Fatal Frame', and you can earn a big damage bonus my making your shot
at this time.  You can only detect a Fatal Frame moment if you have the Instant
Function or Alarm Function equipped on your camera.  The Instant Function will
cause a red light underneath the Filament to blink when a Fatal Frame occurs. 
The Alarm Function will add a chiming sound to the blinking light.  If you take
a picture during a Fatal Frame, the ghost will be severely damaged and knocked
back, just like during a Zero Shot.  The main difference with a Fatal Frame,
however, is that the ghost will REMAIN VULNERABLE, and you will be able to make
an immediate follow-up shot for another Fatal Frame!  (See Combo Shot below.)
--COMBO x2, x3: When you have hit a ghost with a Fatal Frame, the ghost will be
badly damaged and knocked back.  Furthermore, the ghost will still be
vulnerable, and you can immediately follow up your shot with another one,
assuming that you haven't knocked the ghost back through a wall or other
obstacle.  This is called a Combo Shot.  Combo Shots are worth a lot of points,
especially if you use the Blast Lens or Zero Lens to augment them.
--SPECIAL SHOT: If you hit with the Zero Lens or the Blast Lens, you will get
the Special Shot bonus for causing extra damage.
--CORE SHOT: A Core Shot is very accurate.  If you can line up the Lock Circle
precisely with the crosshair in the middle of the screen when you take your
shot, you will earn this bonus.
--CLOSE SHOT: This bonus is granted when the ghost is very close to you when
you take your shot.
--JUST KILL: If your shot inflicts damage that is barely in excess of the
ghost's current HP, you will gain this bonus for 'just (barely) killing' the
ghost.
--DOUBLE SHOT/DOUBLE KILL, TRIPLE SHOT/TRIPLE KILL, etc.: You often find
yourself battling multiple ghosts in FF2.  If you can hit or kill more than one
ghost in one shot, you will get a bonus on your score for that shot.

E. UPGRADING YOUR CAMERA
************************
  When you first obtain the Camera Obscura, it is fairly weak.  As you play
through the game, you will find lots of opportunities to make the Camera
stronger.  There are three main ways in which you can improve the camera: 1)
Purchasing upgrades with Spirit Points, 2) Adding Power-Up Lenses, and 3)
Adding extra Equipment.

1. BASIC FUNCTIONS
  There are three basic parameters that determine the power of your Camera:
Range, Accumulation, and Sensitivity.  Each of these aspects can be improved
from Level 0, the starting level, up to Level 3, the maximum.  In order to
raise these levels two things are required: Spirit Orbs and Spirit Points. 
Spirit Orbs are items that you will find hidden throughout the game; sometimes
they are left behind when you defeat a ghost.  Spirit Points are earned every
time you photograph a ghost.  If you look at the Upgrade screen in the Camera
menu, you will see a grid corresponding to the three Basic Functions and the
three levels of improvement you can make.  To raise the level, you must insert
a Spirit Orb in the slot for the level and function you want to improve.  The
inert Spirit Orb will be inserted into the grid.  Then, to activate the
upgrade, you must spend the listed amount of Spirit Points.  When you do this,
the Spirit Orb will light up and the upgrade is complete.  Even if you have
thousands of Spirit Points, you can't upgrade the Camera unless you have Spirit
Orbs to insert into the grid; similarly, inserted Spirit Orbs have no effect
unless you spend Spirit Points to activate them.  The effects and costs of
improving your Basic Functions are listed below:

--RANGE: Upgrading your Range will increase the size of the Capture Circle.
LEVEL 1:  6000 Points
LEVEL 2: 20000 Points
LEVEL 3: 30000 Points

--ACCUMULATION: This parameter determines how much Spirit Power your camera can
hold.  Spirit Power is used to activate Power-Up Lenses.  At Level 0 your
Camera can hold 1 unit of Spirit Power.  With each upgrade, this amount is
increased by one, up to a maximum of 4 units at Level 3.
LEVEL 1:  4000 Points
LEVEL 2: 10000 Points
LEVEL 3: 21000 Points

--SENSITIVITY: This parameter affects the distance at which your Camera will be
able to detect ghosts, and also affects the basic exorcismal power of your
Camera.  As you increase the level of your Sensitivity you will be able to take
photographs of ghosts that are farther away, and your shots will do more damage.
LEVEL 1:  7000 Points
LEVEL 2: 24000 Points
LEVEL 3: 38000 Points

2. POWER-UP LENSES
  There are nine different Power-Up Lenses that you can add to your Camera.  At
first, you can only equip one Lens at a time, but after you find the Switch
Function you can increase this to three Lenses.  (Switch between Lenses in
Finder Mode with the L1 Button.)  In order to use a Lens, you must have Spirit
Power accumulated in your Camera; Spirit Power is absorbed every time you take
a picture of a ghost that causes damage.  The amount of Spirit Power used
depends on the Lens.  If you have enough Spirit Power, you use the equipped by
pressing the Triangle Button.  One nice thing about the Lens system is that if
you miss with your shot, your Spirit Power will not be wasted.  Some ghosts,
however, can resist the effects of a Power-Up Lens, in which case the Spirit
Points are lost.
  Each Lens can be upgraded just like the Basic Functions can.  They start out
at Level 0 and can be improved up to Level 3.  Making these upgrades requires
Spirit Orbs and Spirit Points, exactly like the Basic Functions.  Improving the
Lenses will make them stronger, but won't affect the amount of Spirit Power
that they use.

--SLOW LENS: Uses 1 unit of Spirit Power.  When you hit with this Lens, the
ghost will turn purple and it's movement will be slowed down by about half for
a little while.  This makes scoring a Zero Shot or Fatal Frame a lot easier,
because Shutter Chances will be longer.  Upgrading this Lens increases the
duration that the effect lasts.  You find this Lens in the Osaka house at the
beginning of Chapter Two.
LEVEL 1:  8000 Points
LEVEL 2: 17000 Points
LEVEL 3: 28000 Points

--STUN LENS: Uses 2 units of Spirit Power.  When you hit with this Lens, the
ghost will sometimes freeze in place, unable to move; it will turn green when
this happens.  Upgrading this Lens increases the effect's duration.  During
Chapter Two, you will find this Lens in the Kiryu House, 2F Sliding Screen Room.
LEVEL 1:  8000 Points
LEVEL 2: 19000 Points
LEVEL 3: 30000 Points

--SEE LENS: Uses 1 unit of Spirit Power.  This Lens makes the spirit easier to
see, so that a ghost who likes to turn invisible or flicker out of sight is
easier to find.  When you raise the level of this Lens, its duration is
extended; furthermore, a directional mark will appear around the Capture Circle
to show you where to turn to find the ghost.
LEVEL 1:  8000 Points
LEVEL 2: 18000 Points
LEVEL 3: 29000 Points

--TRACK LENS: Uses 2 units of Spirit Power.  When you activate this Lens, the
viewfinder will automatically follow the ghost that you are fighting.  This is
a much nicer effect than the See Lens, but it costs more Spirit Points. 
Upgrading the level will make the duration of the Tracking effect last longer. 
You will obtain this Lens when you clear the game in Easy or Normal Mode.
LEVEL 1: 30000 Points
LEVEL 2: 44000 Points
LEVEL 3: 55000 Points

--STOP LENS:  Uses 3 units of Spirit Power.  This lens is a stronger version of
the Stun Lens.  When you hit a ghost with it, it will be completely frozen in
place.  Upgrading this lens will increase the duration of the effect.  You will
receive this lens when you complete the game in Hard Mode.
LEVEL 1: 35000 Points
LEVEL 2: 50000 Points
LEVEL 3: 65000 Points

--BLAST LENS: Uses 2 units of Spirit Power.  This Lens increases the power of
your Camera, allowing you to inflict extra damage.  When you hit with this Lens
the ghost will be knocked back (as during a Zero Shot) even if it is not during
a Shutter Chance.  When you raise the level of this Lens the damage bonus that
it gives you is increased.  Also, upgrading to Level 1 or higher will cause the
ghost to be blasted back in slow motion (Slow Blast Back).
LEVEL 1: 10000 Points
LEVEL 2: 20000 Points
LEVEL 3: 30000 Points

--ZERO LENS: Uses 3 units of Spirit Power.  It allows you to take shots that
cause a lot of damage.  This shot will also knock the ghost back, even if you
don't use it during a Shutter Chance.  It's stronger than the Blast Lens, but
on the other hand you must accumulate more Spirit Power to use it.  Upgrading
this Lens will increase the damage bonus.  You'll find the Zero Lens in the
Tachibana House during Chapter 7.
LEVEL 1: 12000 Points
LEVEL 2: 25000 Points
LEVEL 3: 34000 Points

--CRUSH LENS: Uses 4 units of Spirit Power.  This mother of all Lenses will
destroy most ghosts in one shot if you use it during a Shutter Moment.  If you
don't use it during a Shutter Moment, it won't work as well.  Upgrade the level
of this lens to increase its exorcismal potency.  When the lens reaches Level
3, it will be effective during any shot, not just a Shutter Moment (but using
this Lens during a Shutter Moment will always work best).  You will receive
this lens after beating the game in Hard Mode.
LEVEL 1: 45000 Points
LEVEL 2: 70000 Points
LEVEL 3: 90000 Points

--SERIAL LENS: Uses 1 unit of Spirit Power.  This Lens is especially designed
for use when it's NOT a Shutter Moment.  For ghosts that are only vulnerable
during a Shutter Moment, like Woman in Box, this lens is pretty much useless. 
For other ghosts, like Mr. Kurosawa, this lens is very effective.  It boosts
damage, like the Blast, Zero & Crush Lenses, but since it only requires 1 unit
of Spirit Power, you can use it in rapid-fire succession to really dish out
some pain.  For instance, if you have 4 units charged, you can hit a ghost with
Lens 4 times in a row, without waiting for it to 'Blast Back'.  You will
receive this Lens after you have found 100% of the ghosts on your Spirit List.
LEVEL 1: 45000 Points
LEVEL 2: 70000 Points
LEVEL 3: 90000 Points

3. CAMERA EQUIPMENT
  There are eight different pieces of Equipment you can add to the Camera. 
Unlike the Lenses, the Equipment is automatically added to your camera and is
always active.  Camera Equipment cannot be upgraded with Spirit Points.  You
will find some of the Equipment as you play through FF2, while other Equipment
has to be unlocked by completing the game.

--INSTANT: This enables a red light underneath the Filament that flashes during
a Fatal Frame moment.  You will find this during Chapter Three in the Kurosawa
Mansion, 1F Antechamber.
--EVADE: When you have this equipped you can escape from a ghost that is about
to grab you by using the flash on your Camera.  If you hit the X Button at the
right moment when you are attacked you can escape without taking any damage. 
During Chapter Four you will find this item in an alcove in Kurosawa Mansion,
1F Courtyard.
--SAVE: This piece of equipment allows you to absorb a lot more Spirit Power
when you take a damaging picture of a ghost.  You will get this after battling
the three ghost children in Osaka House during Chapter 8.
--SENSE: This allows your filament to react to ghosts that were previously
invisible.  You will be able to find more ghosts this way.  You get this after
you have beaten the game in Easy or Normal Mode.
--MEASURE: This enables the HP Meter in Finder Mode.  Without it, you can't
tell how many HP the attacking ghosts have.  Find this in the Osaka house at
the beginning of Chapter Two.
--SWITCH: If you have this, you can equip up to three Power-Up Lenses at one
time.  You can then switch Lenses during battle by pressing the L1 Button. 
Found in the Kiryu House, 1F Hanging Doll Room, during Chapter Six.
--ALARM: Your Camera will make a chiming sound during a Fatal Frame moment. 
This equipment works in conjunction with your Instant Function.  You'll find
this during Chapter Five in the Back Room of Osaka House.
--ZOOM: With this equipped you can zoom in with the L2 Button and zoom put with
the R2 Button.  You get this after you have beaten the game in Easy or Normal
Mode.



*************
 III. GHOSTS
*************
  This section describes the various kinds of ghost encounters that occur in
FF2 and provides strategies for coping with ghost battles.  In FF2 you will
encounter many different types of ghosts.  They can be grouped into three
general types: Hidden Ghosts, Vanishing Ghosts, and Attacking Ghosts.  All the
ghosts that you can capture in FF2 will be pointed out in the walkthrough. 
Some Hidden and Vanishing Ghosts will only appear if you have completed the
game once and obtained the Sense Function; this means that it's impossible to
capture all the ghosts in your first time through the game.  You can also look
at the Spirit List at the end of this file to monitor your progress in
capturing the ghosts.

--HIDDEN GHOSTS: These ghosts are stationary and can be quite hard to find. 
You will know a Hidden Ghost is near by a blue glow from your Filament. 
Usually this type of ghost is completely invisible, or only discernable as a
faint shimmer.  Even in Finder Mode the ghost will not be visible, and you must
use the Filament to home in on the ghost's location.  When you have
successfully targeted the ghost your Capture Circle will glow blue.  When you
take a picture, the ghost will appear in the photograph.  Though they are hard
to find, these ghosts won't vanish if you can't locate them right away.  Hidden
Ghosts are always worth 1000 Spirit Points.  Each Hidden Ghost that you capture
counts as a separate entry in your Spirit List.

--VANISHING GHOSTS: These ghosts can be very hard to capture, because they only
appear for a short time and then are gone forever.  You must have quick
reflexes to capture a Vanishing Ghost.  Each appearance is triggered by you,
either by moving into a certain area or by picking up an item; these triggers
are specific to each chapter, so if you don't set off the trigger then you
probably won't be able to go back and do it later.  When the ghost appears,
your Filament will glow blue, the screen will become obscured with a static
haze, and you will hear a heartbeat.  This is the time to quickly switch to
Finder Mode and take a picture of the ghost before it disappears! 
Unfortunately, if you don't get a shot of the ghost before it vanishes, you
will never get another chance in that game.  Ever.  So if you really want to
capture every ghost in the game, you must be prepared to quit and restore your
game if you miss a Vanishing Ghost and want to try again.  I will point out
each Vanishing Ghost appearance in the walkthrough.  The amount of Points you
get for capturing these ghosts is highly variable, and depends both on the
particular ghost and how quickly and precisely you shoot it.  Each separate
Vanishing Ghost appearance counts as a distinct entry in your Spirit List.

--ATTACKING GHOSTS: Attacking ghosts are your main obstacles in FF2.  Each type
of ghost has its own pattern of attack, and you must understand these patterns
in order to battle effectively.  You'll know an attacking ghost is near because
your filament will glow red, and the music will usually change to a more
dramatic mode.  Some of these encounters are pre-set and you must defeat the
ghost or ghosts in order to advance in the game.  Other encounters occur
randomly as you are exploring; these battles are optional and you can escape
the ghost by running away.  When a random ghost battle occurs, it will be with
one of the following types of ghost: Man in Dark/Woman in Dark, Villagers
(Seeker, Pole Bearer and Sickle Bearer), Broken Neck Woman, Veiled Priests, or
Limbo Man/Limbo Woman.  Random encounters can be very dangerous, so if you are
low on health or film it is always best to run and save your resources for the
unavoidable encounters.  On the other hand, battling random ghosts is a great
way to earn extra Spirit Points for upgrading your camera, so you must decide
whether or not you want to pursue these encounters depending on how confident
you are in your capturing skills.  I will give strategies for fighting each
type of ghost in the walkthrough.  Each type of ghost counts as a separate
entry in the Spirit List.



*****************************
 IV. GENERAL TIPS & STRATEGY
*****************************
  Before you start playing FF2, I recommend that you visit the Options Menu
from the Title Screen.  This menu is only available from the Title Screen, so
if you want to change the options during the game you'll have to find a save
point and quit.  You will probably want to change the controller settings to 3D
MODE.  In 2D Mode, the default, you move Mio by pressing in the direction you
want her to go relative to the screen.  To make her move 'up' the screen, press
up on the controller, etc.  This is a big disadvantage in FF2, where you have
no control over the camera perspective in Field Mode; you will find Mio veering
off whenever the perspective changes.  If you switch to 3D Mode, you can
eliminate this annoyance.  In Subjective Mode, pressing up on the stick causes
Mio to move forward in the direction she is facing; angling to the left or
right makes Mio turn to her left or right; and pressing down causes Mio to
about-face.  This is very useful when you are running from a ghost and want to
quickly turn and take a shot.  Another nice thing about 3D Mode is that you can
run forward by pressing the Square Button, and then simply use the L Stick to
steer.  Veteran players of other survival-horror games like Resident Evil or
Silent Hill will be quite used to the Subjective Mode style of control.
  Another change that many players will prefer is to switch the up/down axis
during Finder Mode, so that pressing UP on the stick causes the camera to pan
DOWN.  Veteran players of 1st-person games will probably be the most
comfortable with this set-up.

  There is no safe place in the Lost Village.  In any room, at any time, random
ghosts can attack you.  They can even attack you in a room with a Save Point. 
If you spend too much time standing around, you are much more likely to
encounter random ghosts.  If you have lots of film and are confident in your
skills, this isn't a big deal; random ghost encounters can be a good way to get
Spirit Points.  But if you are low on supplies, you will want to avoid the
random ghosts at all costs.  Remember that you can run from random encounters
if you don't want to fight; the ghosts will probably chase you for a room or
two, but then they will give up and go away.  If you ever have to set down the
controller for any reason, be sure to pause the game unless you want to come
back and find that Mio has been taken by ghosts!

  When you begin upgrading your camera, you must give careful thought to what
Functions or Lenses you want to improve.  I recommend increasing the Basic
Functions first, especially your Range and Accumulation.  You won't find enough
Spirit Orbs in one pass through the game to upgrade everything to maximum
level; there are 22 Orbs total to be found compared with 24 potential slots for
them to fill (36 slots after you finish the game and obtain the bonus Lenses). 
Since maxing out all the Basic Functions is essential, you will have to choose
which Lenses you want to improve and which ones you want to neglect.  The See
Lens and the Stun Lens are probably the least useful, so I would recommend
upgrading the other Lenses first.



****************
 V. WALKTHROUGH
****************
  This walkthrough will take you through FF2 step by step.  To follow my
directions you will need to make extensive use of the in-game map, which you
can see by pressing Select.  The names of locations that I direct you to are
taken from this map.  There are a lot of optional areas that you can visit to
find Hidden Ghosts or pick up extra items.  I will point out all of these side
treks, so that if you follow the walkthrough completely you can find every
ghost and item in the game.  If you just want get through the game as quickly
as possible, you can skip these optional sections; but if you don't take some
time to gather extra items and Spirit Points, you will find it much more
difficult to upgrade your Camera and defeat the tougher ghosts.
  The story of FF2 unfolds over the course of nine Chapters, so I have broken
the Walkthrough into nine sections.  At the start of each section is a summary
describing your main goals for that Chapter.  I won't describe the cutscenes
that you see in detail, but I will indicate when they occur by using an
ellipsis (...) so that you will know you are in the right place.


A. CHAPTER ONE: THE LOST VILLAGE
********************************
  Your goal during Chapter One is to enter the village and explore the first
house you find, the Osaka House.  There you will find the Camera Obscura and
Flashlight, and you will also find your first ghosts, especially the
'Wanderer', Miyako Sudo.

--VILLAGE, MISONO HILL
  After the opening cutscene ... you will take control of Mio at the bottom of
a path leading uphill into the forest.  Run up the path to see another cutscene
... and find your sister Mayu.  The LOST VILLAGE entry will appear in Mio's
Memo book.  [Note: If this is your 2nd time or more through the game, the
Camera will be in your inventory now.]  Mayu will be following you at this
point.  Since she has a game leg, she can't run as fast you and will complain
if you leave her behind; whenever you enter a new area, though, she will
automatically catch up with you.
  Now you can begin exploring.  The Red Lantern in the SW is a Save Point; use
it to SAVE THE GAME.  The path you entered from is completely gone, but there
are two other paths you can take down into the village.  The W path leads to
the All God's Bridge.  If you go down this path, Mio will refuse to cross the
bridge without a light.  The E path leads into the village proper; this is the
way you should go.
  As you head down the E path you will see a glowing ball lying on the ground;
this is FF2's standard 'icon' for any item that you can pick up.  As you
approach it you will automatically collect the BLACK BAG, which contains the
NEWS CLIPPING, SMALL NEWS CLIPPING, and a photo of a COUPLE.  You can look at
all this stuff in the File Menu.  Continue down the path after you get these
items.  As you approach the village you will see a ghost walking by in the
distance.  (NOTE: This ghost does not count as an entry in your Spirit List.) 
When you reach the end of the path there will be a cutscene ... and Mio and
Mayu will automatically enter the Osaka House.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F ENTRANCE
  There are several vanishing ghosts that appear in this house before you get
the Camera Obscura.  The only way to capture these ghosts is during your 2nd or
more time through the game, when you will have the Camera right from the start.
 The first ghost appears as you move through the entrance.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: WAITING WOMAN (~600) [Replay only]
  This is the first of many appearances by Miyako Sudo.  She will materialize
on the other side of the bars to your left as you step into the room.  Take a
shot of her through the bars before she disappears.
**********
  There are no items in this room, so leave through the W door.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F SUNKEN FIREPLACE ROOM
  There is a long cutscene when you enter this room ... and then you are free
to look around.  If you step over to the ruined fireplace you will see the
WOMAN'S NOTEBOOK 1.  These fragments all belong to Miyako Sudo, and we will be
finding a lot of fragments of this notebook here in the Osaka House.  After
getting this item, use the E door to enter the Kimono Room.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F KIMONO ROOM
  There is a lantern you can use here to SAVE THE GAME.  Next to the lantern,
on the small table, is the WOMAN'S NOTEBOOK 2.  Enter the closet in the S of
the room and search the dresser there to find some SACRED WATER.  That's all
that's here now, so go back to the Fireplace Room and go through the W door.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F BIG TATAMI ROOM
  A vanishing ghost will appear as soon as you step into this room.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: ATRIUM WOMAN (~400) [Replay only]
  If this is your first time playing FF2, you won't be able to capture this
ghost.  The moment that Mio is through the door, draw your camera and aim to
the left through the window into the atrium and you will see Miyako slowly
walking by.  There will be a very short moment when your Capture Circle will
turn blue; quickly hit the shutter to take a picture of her.  Be careful not to
take your picture too early; you must wait for the Capture Circle to turn blue
before taking your shot or it won't count.
**********
  After the ghost vanishes you can look around.  Search the kimono box next to
the door to find HERBAL MEDICINE.  You can duck under the rope that's
supporting the mosquito net to search the bed on the other side and you will
find the WOMAN'S NOTEBOOK 4.  That's all you can do here for now, so go back to
the Fireplace Room and go down the hallway to the W.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F DIRT-FLOOR HALLWAY
  As you proceed down the hall Miyako's ghost will appear yet again.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: WALKS INSIDE (~450) [Replay only]
  Once again, if this is your first time through the game you can't capture any
ghosts yet.  Miyako will appear at the far corner of the hallway as you pass
the stairs.  Quickly draw your camera to get a shot of her before she
disappears around the corner.
**********
  The door at the end of the short S branch of the hall is locked, so just
follow the ghost down the hallway and go through the door at the far end.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F BACK ROOM
  There is only one thing to find here, the WOMAN'S NOTEBOOK 3, which you will
see lying in the corner behind the screen.  After you get this item, return to
the hallway and head back the way you came.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F DIRT-FLOOR HALLWAY
  As you head back toward the Fireplace Room you will see Miyako's ghost yet
again.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: VANISHES AT ALTAR (~450) [Replay only]
  This is the last ghost you won't be able to capture if it's your first time
through the game.  She will appear after you round the corner and start heading
E; she will be going down the short S branch of the hall that you passed
earlier.  Draw your Camera as soon as you see the static haze and hear the
heartbeat that indicate the presence of a vanishing ghost, and quickly take
your picture before she disappears down the side hall.
**********
  If you follow Miyako down the short side hall to the door that was locked
before, you will discover that it is now open.  [NOTE: If you try to go
anywhere else in the house first (back to the Save Point, for instance), Mayu
will not follow you.  Instead, she will stay by the newly unlocked door.  When
you return to the hallway you will see a short cutscene.]  Go through the door
into the next room.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F FAMILY ALTAR ROOM/DELUXE TATAMI ROOM
  As you enter the Altar Room you will see an item on the table in front of
you; pick it up to receive the FLASHLIGHT and the book CAMERA OBSCURA POINTERS;
there will then be a cutscene ... and you will get the CAMERA OBSCURA, which
includes a supply of TYPE-14 FILM, and a tutorial file, BASIC CAMERA OPERATION;
additionally, Mio will make THE CAMERA OBSCURA entry in the Memo book.  All
right!  Now you can start capturing some ghosts!  Just before you go through
the open door into the Tatami Room, search the ransacked dresser between the
table and the open door to find the WOMAN'S NOTEBOOK 5.  This notebook scrap
hints at a secret door somewhere in this room, but you won't be able to find
anything just yet.  In the Tatami Room you will see some HERBAL MEDICINE
shining in the little nook in the corner.  When you open the door to return to
the Dirt Hallway, there will be a cutscene ... and the door will be sealed. 
Use your Camera to take a picture of the Door Woman (Miyako) and unseal the
door.  You will receive a photo of the WARPED FACE LADY.  [NOTE: When you
capture a ghost that is sealing a door, it doesn't count on your Spirit List.] 
After another cutscene ... you will be free to leave the room.  Return to the
hallway and take the stairs up to the second floor.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 2F SUNKEN FIREPLACE ROOM
  You will find yourself on a balcony hallway over the Fireplace Room.  There
is a locked door here bearing a Ginger Crest.  Your next task is to find a key
for this door.  As you pass the door, Mayu will stop and call out to you;
return to the door and check it again to learn that there is someone on the
other side...  Are you sure you really want to go in there??  To start
searching for the key, take the stairs that go back down to the 1st floor of
the Fireplace Room.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F SUNKEN FIREPLACE ROOM
  Go and check the door that leads back to the Entrance.  It's been locked! 
After checking the door there will be a cutscene ... and a vanishing ghost will
appear.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: VANISHES AT DOOR (~300)
  Immediately after the cutscene, Miyako will appear for a moment in front of
the door that leads to the Big Tatami Room.  You will want to draw your Camera
the instant that the cutscene ends to capture this ghost before it disappears. 
Don't worry if Mayu is also in the shot, her presence won't spoil the photo.
**********
  Now check the door that Miyako just appeared in front of; it is being sealed
by an evil spirit.  If you take a picture of the door you will see a photo of a
COAL BRAZIER.  Do you remember seeing this place?  It's in the Back Room at the
end of the Dirt Hallway, so go there now.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F BACK ROOM
  When you enter this room your filament will immediately start to react. 
Approach the old brazier in the middle of the room and take a picture of it. 
You will get a photo of the SLASHED MAN, and the spirit sealing the door of the
Big Tatami Room will be gone.  As soon as you have taken this photo a vanishing
ghost will appear, so get ready to take out your camera for another shot!
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: MAN ON DECK (~600)
  This ghost appears as soon as you have taken a picture of the brazier.  He
appears on the deck behind the brazier that looks out on the atrium; all you
have to do is quickly take out your camera again and snap another photo.
**********
  After capturing this ghost, take the hallway back to the Fireplace Room and
open the now unsealed door to the Big Tatami Room (in the W wall).

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F BIG TATAMI ROOM
  Hm, it seems like there's nothing new in this room...  Why was the door
sealed?  In order to reveal the secret of this room, try to open the door and
go back to the Fireplace Room.  As you try and open the door, a panel will fall
off the wall, revealing an item.  It's the GINGER KEY that you were looking
for!  As soon as you have picked up this item another vanishing ghost will
appear, so get ready!
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: WOMAN BEHIND NET (~350)
  The instant after you have picked up the Ginger Key, turn around as fast as
you can and draw your camera.  Miyako will be walking by right behind you,
heading for the door.  You only have about one second to turn and take this
picture, but it's not too hard.
**********
  Now you can go back to the Fireplace Room.  Miyako is about to make another
appearance, so be ready to use the camera!

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F SUNKEN FIREPLACE ROOM
  As you exit the Big Tatami Room, make sure to walk BETWEEN the fireplace and
the stairs to insure that you are well placed for the next ghost appearance.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: STAIR CLIMBER (~500)
  Miyako will appear as you pass by the foot of the stairs.  She'll be behind
you, climbing the staircase.  If you press the Circle Button to switch to
Finder Mode, Mio will automatically aim at exactly the right place.  All you
have to do is hit the shutter!  If you don't walk between the fireplace and the
stairs, then the fallen beams will obstruct your shot when the ghost appears. 
If you stay close to the stairs, though, you'll have no trouble capturing this
ghost.
**********
  Once again, Miyako has shown you where to go next.  Before you follow her up
the stairs, however, you should go back into the Kimono Room and SAVE THE GAME.
 A difficult vanishing ghost capture awaits you on the second floor balcony.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 2F SUNKEN FIREPLACE ROOM
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: STANDING WOMAN (~500)
  As soon as you get to the top of the staircase, turn to the right and switch
to Finder Mode.  Miyako will be standing in front of the door with the Ginger
Crest lock, and she will only be visible for a split second.  If you make the
slightest hesitation you will lose the shot!  This is the first tough ghost
capture that you can try, but there are much harder ones awaiting you later in
the game.  If you can get this one you are doing well!
**********
  After the ghost disappears, go over to the door and use the Ginger Key to
open it.  There are more chances to capture Miyako awaiting you in the next
room.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 2F SERVANT'S ROOM/GUEST ROOMS/STUDY
  When you enter you will see open doorways to your right, leading to the
Servant's Room, and to your left, leading to the Guest Rooms.  First, step into
the right or S doorway to trigger another appearance of Miyako.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: BECKONER (~550)
  This section of the house consists of four connected rooms.  As you step into
the Guest Room, you will see Miyako appear ahead of you.  She's going through
the next open doorway into another Guest Room.  Since she's right in front of
you it's not hard to quickly take out your camera and take a shot of her as
she's walking away.
**********
  Before you follow her, turn and go into the Servant's Room to the N.  If you
check the dresser along the wall you can find HERBAL MEDICINE, and if you
search the floor in front of the folding screen you will find a hidden box of
TYPE-61 FILM.  This is stronger than the Type-14 Film you have loaded, but you
should save the strong Films for later in the game.  Back in the Guest Room
where you photographed Miyako you will see an item on the table; it's the
WOMAN'S NOTEBOOK 6.  Pick it up and go through the open doorway to the W.  In
this room you can find the WOMAN'S NOTEBOOK 7 on the ground in front of the
shrouded mirror.  Miyako will appear yet again as you move through the next
open doorway into the final room.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: STANDS BEHIND (~400)
  As you step through the open doorway to the N, there will be sudden music and
the ghost of Miyako will appear behind you.  Switch to the Finder and Mio will
automatically turn and aim at the ghost; you will see her walking by behind
your sister Mayu.  Fortunately, Mayu won't obstruct your view of the ghost;
just calmly hit the shutter and you should be able to get a good shot.
**********
  It seems that Miyako has closed the door behind her, trapping you.  This
can't be good.  Before you pick up the item in the middle of the floor in the
Study, examine the bookcases to get the book FOLKLORIST 1.  Got it?  Then pick
up the item on the floor; it's Miyako's last entry, WOMAN'S NOTEBOOK 8.  When
you pick this up there will be a scary cutscene, ... and you will receive the
SPIRIT CAPTURE file.  After reading this it's time for your first ghost battle!
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: WANDERER (Miyako Sudo)
  The time for your confrontation with the ghost of Miyako has finally arrived.
 She's not too tough, though.  Stand in the center of the room and switch to
Finder Mode.  Like all ghosts, Miyako can move through the walls; if you stand
by the wall it's much easier for her to ambush you.  If you can't see her, use
the Filament to guess her approximate direction; you'll know you're facing the
right way by how brightly the Filament glows.  Now you have to wait.  You can
take a shot at Miyako as soon as she appears, but the best tactic is to wait
for her to make a move against you (or your sister) and go for the Zero Shot. 
When a ghost attacks, your Capture Circle will turn RED (in what is called a
Shutter Moment); if you photograph the ghost at this time it's called a ZERO
SHOT and it will do about twice as much damage as normal.  After you take a
shot of this ghost she will probably teleport away.  Don't panic, just stay in
the middle of the room and use the Filament to find her new location (probably
behind a wall) and wait for her to re-emerge.  Don't forget that if you get
grabbed, you can shake the L Stick to minimize the damage inflicted; also, you
have several doses of Herbal Medicine that you can heal up with.  If you hit
with three Zero Shots that should end the battle.
**********
  After the battle is over there will be a cutscene ... and you will get your
first SPIRIT ORB, along with the SPIRIT ORB Tutorial file, and the ARAGONITE
crystal.  (See the section on Upgrading your Camera above for more on Spirit
Orbs.)  Also, Mio will make the LOST COUPLE entry in the Memo book. 
Congratulations!  You've made it to the end of the First Chapter!!


B. CHAPTER TWO: TWIN SHRINE MAIDENS
***********************************
  As this Chapter opens Mio is on her own; Mayu has wandered off!  Your goal is
to follow Mayu through the village to Kurosawa Mansion, and find keys to unlock
the big closed gate at the mansion's entrance.
  Before you head off in search of Mayu, you can use the Spirit Orb that you
just got to make the first improvement in your camera.  If you have captured
all the ghosts up to this point, you should have just enough points to improve
your Range, which is what I recommend.  Upgrading the Accumulation is cheaper,
but it won't help you much at this point since you don't have any Lenses.  If
you don't have enough points for Range, it's probably best to wait until you do
and improve this parameter of your camera first.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 2F SERVANT'S ROOM/GUEST ROOMS/STUDY
  New items have appeared in this room.  Check the table to get the SPIRIT
STONE RADIO.  Whenever you find a supernatural crystal, you can place it in the
Radio to hear the thoughts of the spirit that the crystal belongs to.  You will
also get the SPIRIT STONE RADIO POINTERS book.  Mio will also make a new entry
in the Memo book, SPIRIT STONE RADIO.  You can use the Radio to listen to the
Aragonite crystal you found when you defeated Miyako.  As you head back into
the Guest Rooms you can find a hidden ghost.
**********
!!-Hidden Ghost: GIRL IN HIDING (1000)
  To find this ghost, look behind the kimono that's in the SW Guest Room.  Like
all hidden ghosts, the spirit will be invisible.  You must use the blue glow
from your Filament to home in on the right spot.  You'll want to stand behind
the kimono and aim down into the corner.  The Capture Circle will turn blue
when you are properly aimed.
**********
  After capturing this ghost, go back through to door to the Fireplace Room
balcony.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 2F SUNKEN FIREPLACE ROOM
  As you go through the door you will see a cutscene...  After the cutscene you
will be in control of Mayu!  This will happen from time to time during the
game.  Mayu can't use any items or even look at the menu.  All you can do is
follow the crimson butterflies that you see along the path into the village. 
After following the path for a while control will switch back to Mio, who is
still in the Osaka House.  Before you leave to follow Mayu, you can ransack the
Osaka House for more items.  To begin, go back down the stairs into the Sunken
Fireplace Room.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F SUNKEN FIREPLACE ROOM
  When you return to this room a new type of ghost, Man in Dark, will probably
attack you.  This battle does not ALWAYS happen, but since you are very likely
to have some random encounters with this spirit I will describe the strategy
for fighting him here.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghosts: MAN IN DARK (2)
  Of all the ghosts in FF2, this is the weakest and easiest to fight, even when
it appears in a small group.  There will be two of these ghosts in this battle.
 The only complication is that the ghosts will often appear quite suddenly very
close to you when the battle starts.  If this happens, stay calm and run a few
paces away, then turn and take aim.  Man in Dark is very slow and can't
teleport or turn invisible or do anything sneaky.  All they can do is slowly
drift toward you and try to grab you.  Before they can do this, however, you
will get a nice Shutter Chance.  Take your picture at this time to knock the
ghost away from you, then wait for it to recover; when it starts coming for you
again, wait for the Shutter Chance and keep knocking it back.  Easy!  Each
ghost will probably take three Zero Shots before being destroyed.
**********
  Ok, that wasn't too hard, was it?  Now you can pick up the item by the side
of the staircase; it's some new additions for your camera.  You'll get the SLOW
LENS (along with THE "SLOW" LENS File) and the MEASURE FUNCTION (along with THE
"MEASURE" FUNCTION File and some TYPE-14 FILM).  Now you can see the ghosts'
HP!  I'm sure you are anxious to save your game, so go through the E door into
the Kimono Room.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F KIMONO ROOM
  As you enter the room you will see an item in the middle of the floor. 
BEFORE you pick up this item, SAVE THE GAME.  Now you can pick up the item,
it's HERBAL MEDICINE.  But as soon as you have it, a new ghost will attack you!!
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: WOMAN IN BOX
  This ghost will appear in the closet at the other end of the room, crawling
out of the kimono box against the far wall  I think this ghost is one of the
scariest, but fighting it isn't too hard.  Switch to Finder Mode and take aim. 
Since the Woman in Box is hunched over and her long hair obscures her face,
your camera won't react at all...at first.  Keep your finger close to the
shutter button because Woman in Box is ONLY vulnerable during a Shutter Chance.
 As the ghost slowly shuffles closer, there will be some split-second moments
when this chance occurs; you must have good reflexes and be prepared to take a
shot at that second!  Fortunately her slow movement means all you really have
to worry about is timing your shot; aiming is easy.  Sometimes this ghost will
suddenly stand up and start lurching toward you, revealing her face.  But don't
worry, she is totally vulnerable to a Zero Shot as soon as she begins this
attack.  If you hold your ground and take shots during the Shutter Chances you
can win this battle after three hits.  If you miss the Shutter Chances,
however, you must be prepared to stop aiming and run to the other side of the
room when she gets really close.  If this happens, just take aim again and keep
trying.  Getting the Zero Shot is your most important technique when fighting
any ghost, and Woman in Box is good practice.
**********
  After the fight is over the ghost will leave behind a MOONSTONE (which you
can listen to with the Spirit Radio) and a SPIRIT ORB.  If you have earned
enough points from ghost battles, use this Orb to make further upgrades in your
camera.  I recommend increasing Sensitivity next.  That's all for this room;
SAVE THE GAME once again and go back to the Fireplace Room, then through the E
door into the Big Tatami Room.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F BIG TATAMI ROOM
  There is a ghost hiding in here that you can capture.
**********
!!-Hidden Ghost: FROZEN WOMAN (1000)
  As soon as you enter the Big Tatami Room your Filament will begin to glow. 
Use the Camera to aim through the mosquito net at the bed on the other side. 
When your Capture Circle turns blue hit the shutter to take a picture of the
ghost.
**********
  There are no items here.  Leave and go back down the Dirt Hallway to the Back
Room.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F BACK ROOM
  Miyako appears as you enter this room.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: WOMAN ON DECK (0)
  After coming through the door, switch to the Finder.  Use the R Stick to move
yourself into the room as you aim toward the Atrium in the back.  As you begin
to approach the brazier you will see the ghost appear before you.  Your
Filament will not react, and your Capture Circle will not glow.  You will see a
Lock Circle targeting the ghost, however.  If you get too close to the brazier
or switch out of Finder Mode the ghost will vanish, so capture it as soon as
you see it!  Even though this ghost isn't worth any points, it still counts as
an entry in your Spirit List.
**********
  On the deck facing the atrium you will see an item.  It's a fragmentary
collection of notes left by the surveyor, VILLAGE REPORT 1-4.  You will only
get the first page of each of these reports, but each page mentions a specific
landmark in the Lost Village.  If you visit these places, you can find the
complete reports as well as capture images of the surveyor's spirit.  Go back
through the hallway and return to the Entrance.

--OSAKA HOUSE, 1F ENTRANCE
  You will find MAYU'S CHARM lying here on the floor.  You can listen to it
with the Radio.  Unlike the other stones that you find, Mayu's Charm will
contain new messages if you re-check it periodically during the game.  Every
time that you see or encounter Mayu, go back to the Radio menu to see if a new
message has appeared.  You're done in this house for now, so use the E door to
exit.

--VILLAGE, OSAKA HOUSE FRONT
  Go a little bit to the S and check the guardian deity statue by the corner of
the house to get some TYPE-14 FILM.  Now go N along the road to follow after
Mayu.  Turn left at the intersection and go W, then take the path to the N
between the houses.

--VILLAGE, KIRYU-TACHIBANA
  The path lies between the Kiryu house on the right and the Tachibana house on
the left.  As you come to the first bend you will see a fleeting image of your
sister.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: BUTTERFLY CHASER (0)
  I think this is by far the most difficult capture in the game.  Mayu appears
ahead of you, heading around the corner to the right.  Your Filament and
Capture Circle will not react.  Stick to the right-hand side of the road when
she appears and keep running until you are about halfway past the double doors.
 At this point Mayu will have almost completely disappeared around the corner. 
As fast as you can, draw your camera and take a shot!  This is very difficult
because your distance from Mayu determines whether or not your shot will be
successful; if you are too far back you can get a clear picture that doesn't
count.  But Mayu only appears for a short moment, so by the time you have run
close enough for your camera to pick her up, she's almost gone.  It took me
dozens of tries to successfully capture this ghost; fortunately there is a Save
Lantern nearby if you want to keep trying.  When I did finally capture her, she
wasn't even visible in the picture; she had JUST disappeared around the corner.
 Good luck with this one, you'll need it!  (One thing that might help...try
capturing this ghost when you are replaying the game, and use Costume A or B. 
Mio seems to run just a tiny bit faster when she's wearing these costumes, and
that slight advantage can make a difference here when you're dealing with a
capture opportunity that only lasts a tiny fraction of a second.)
**********
  Follow her around the corner and down the stairs.  After a cutscene ... you
will be under attack by two ghosts!
**********
!!-Attacking Ghosts: SEEKER & POLE BEARER
  These are the spirits of some of the dead villagers.  They will appear a good
distance behind you, at the bottom of the steps.  These are weak ghosts.  As
they slowly close in on you, they tend to side step a little bit and try to
surround you.  You can use the R Stick to move around and prevent this from
happening.  Seeker is the easiest to deal with; when he moves in to swipe at
you with his torch you can easily get a Zero Shot.  Pole Bearer is a little
trickier, because he can hit you BEFORE you get a good Shutter Chance.  When
you see Pole Bearer begin to rear back with his pole in preparation for attack,
back away to get out of his range.  After he swings he will take a moment to
recover, and this is when he is vulnerable.
**********
  (At this point, you can listen to a new message from Mayu's Charm on the
Radio if you like.)  After the battle, go up to the gate that Mayu went
through.  Your filament will react as you approach.  Take a picture of the door
and you will get the GATE BUTTERFLY photo; is this some kind of clue?  If you
try to open the door you will discover that it is locked; two different keys
are required to open it.  Your next job is to find these keys.  Before heading
off to look for them, you can find HERBAL MEDICINE among the weeds at the base
of the big tree that's nearby.  Also, search the lantern on the left side of
the gate to find another HERBAL MEDICINE.  All you can do now is go back the
way you came.  As you retrace your steps through the village you will see some
crimson butterflies.  Follow them along the path all the way to the W end of
the village.

--VILLAGE, OSAKA HOUSE FRONT
  There is a ghost hiding in the small ruined building across the street from
the Osaka house.
  **********
!!-Hidden Ghost: FROZEN MAN (1000)
  This ghost is in the small ruined building that's across the path to the E of
the Osaka house.  To find it, walk along the N side of this building and you
will see a reaction from your filament.  Take out the Camera and aim into the
opening on the N side of the building and your Capture Circle will glow blue. 
That's it, you've found him!
**********
  After you find this ghost, keep going E along the road.

--VILLAGE, TSUCHIHARA FRONT
  The path bends to the SE and ends.  You will see a lantern here, so use it to
SAVE THE GAME.  There is a storage building next to the save point, but the
door is locked.  In between a corner on the W side of this storehouse is a big
well.  Search this well to find the VILLAGE REPORT 2...more evidence from the
lost surveyor Masumi Makimura.  His ghost will appear when you walk away from
the well.  [NOTE: Each time you find a Village Report (there are 4 of them),
Masumi's ghost will appear.  If you capture all four appearances you will get
an extra file, Village Report 5.  There are a lot of events related to this
ghost later in the game that will only occur if you make all four captures and
get the Village Report 5.]
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: WELL CHECKER (~1200)
  This ghost appears after you have examined the well and found the surveyor's
report.  Walk slowly away, and after you have taken five or six steps the ghost
will appear behind you.  Quickly turn around, take out the camera, and hit the
shutter!  If you are ready for this ghost it's not hard to capture.
**********
  When you have captured this ghost, go through the gate at the far side of the
storehouse.

--VILLAGE, STOREHOUSE BACK
  As you enter the little yard behind the storehouse you will see a cutscene
... and meet a boy who seems to be imprisoned there.  He says that the keys to
the gate are hidden inside Twin Deity monuments somewhere in the village.  If
you keep talking to the boy, he will say a few different things.  Mayu will
make the TRAPPED BOY entry in the Memo book.  You'll also notice that your
filament is glowing; if you take a picture of the monument that's right here in
the little yard you will get a STATUE BUTTERFLY photo.  Okay, now it's time to
go find the keys.  To get the first key, take the path S out of the village and
return to Misono Hill.

--VILLAGE, MISONO HILL
  Take the path leading S from the Osaka house to get back to this hill.  Here
you will find the archway mentioned by the surveyor in one of his reports. 
Search near the gate to find VILLAGE REPORT 4.  As you walk away from the place
where you find the report, Masumi's ghost will appear.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: GATE CHECKER (~1200)
  After you pick up the report, walk slowly away from the gate.  When you have
taken a few steps, the filament will suddenly give a faint glow and you will
see the telltale static haze that indicates a vanishing ghost.  Quickly
about-face and take your camera to get a shot of the surveyor before he's gone.
**********
  You will see some butterflies hovering over the statue that's by the path
leading down to the cemetery.  Before you search this statue, use the lantern
to SAVE THE GAME.  Then check the statue to get the TWIN STATUE KEY L.  When
you pick up this key, you will be attacked!
**********
!!-Attacking Ghosts: SEEKER, SICKLE BEARER, POLE BEARER
  You have fought Seeker and Pole Bearer just a little while ago.  This time a
third villager, Sickle Bearer, joins them.  This ghost is just as weak as his
friends and will attack you in the exact same pattern as Seeker does; when he
closes in to swing his sickle, you can easily hit him with a Zero Shot.  The
only difficulty here is the tendency that these ghosts have of trying to flank
you as they close in.  When the battle starts the ghosts will be spread out on
three sides of you.  Before taking aim, run past them to the other side of the
hill so you aren't surrounded.  Now you can pick off the ghosts as they come
toward you.  You can defeat each ghost with one Zero Shot.
**********
  After defeating the villagers a SPIRIT ORB will appear next to the save
lantern.  Save the game, then before returning to the village take the W path
down from the hill to find the Cemetery.

--VILLAGE, ALL GOD'S CEMETARY
  You are likely to be attacked by a random ghost while you are exploring this
area (but it's not guaranteed).  There is an old tree here that seems to
conceal the entrance to some kind of cave, but you can't go inside there just
yet.  Walk around the cemetery and you will see two obvious items; a GLOWING
BLUE CRYSTAL for the Radio and a valuable SPIRIT ORB.  Now hurry back to Misono
Hill and take the E path back to the village.

--VILLAGE, OSAKA FRONT
  As you approach the Osaka house you will see a cutscene ... of angry
villagers searching for something.  When you continue into the village these
ghosts will attack you.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghosts: SEEKER x2
  Two torch-wielding Seekers will appear over by the well to the E.  You can
run away from these ghosts if you want, but you will miss out on valuable
items.  You have had experience with all of these types by now, so if you
choose to stay and fight the battle shouldn't be very hard.  Just stay put and
pick them off as they close in.  If the ghosts try to surround you, simply back
away.  Each ghost has low stamina; you can defeat them with one Zero Shot.
**********
  After the battle, head over to the area where they came from.  In front of
the well by the storehouse you  will see something has been left behind: a
SPIRIT ORB and a GLOWING PURPLE CRYSTAL.  [NOTE: Don't forget to use these
Spirit Orbs to make upgrades to your camera!  Concentrate on upgrading the
Basic Functions first.]  When you have these items, go take the W road to find
the next part of the Twin Key.

--VILLAGE, KIRYU HOUSE BACK
  You will see a save point up ahead, so use it!  There is a Twin Deity statue
nearby where the path bends to the N; if you search this one you won't find
another key, but you can get some TYPE-14 FILM instead.  To the N is another
statue with butterflies hovering over it.  Search this monument to get the TWIN
STATUE KEY R.  More ghosts will attack you when you pick up this key.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghosts: MAN IN DARK x3
  The three ghosts appear as soon as you pick up the key.  These ghosts won't
leave any items, so feel free to run away if you don't want to fight; if you
flee across the little bridge they will just go away.  But if you want to earn
valuable points, you should try to take them out.  It's not a hard battle.  One
of the ghosts appears right in front of you; immediately take out your camera
as soon as the battle starts and you can get a Zero Shot on this ghost as he
lunges for you.  If you get a Zero Shot you can defeat him in one hit.  The
other two ghosts are standing farther behind you on the path, but they won't
start moving toward you until you approach them.  These two ghosts are a little
stronger than the first one and will probably take three hits to defeat.  But
since they move so slowly and it's so easy to get a Zero Shot against them you
should be able to win with little trouble.
**********
  Before you go back to unlock the gate, to W over the footbridge to find the
Kureha Shrine.  There are more items and ghosts that you can find there.

--VILLAGE, FORK IN ROAD
  There is a large, curving staircase climbing up the hillside here.  A
cutscene ... plays when you approach the bottom of the stairs.  There are two
ways you can go here; south, along the path, or north, up the stairs.  The S
path leads to the same Old Tree you saw earlier in the cemetery; it's a dead
end for now.  Along this path, just to the right of the stairs, is a row of
small monuments decorated with a pinwheel that's turning in the breeze.  If you
search the row on the left side of the pinwheel you can find the VILLAGE REPORT
1.  After you find this document the surveyor's ghost will make another
appearance.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: STATUE CHECKER (~1200)
  Masumi Makimura will appear after you find the report that he left at the
bottom of the stairs.  Be ready to turn around and take his picture when you
are walking away from this spot.
**********
  After capturing this ghost, climb up the stairs.

--VILLAGE, KUREHA SHRINE PATH
  The stairs wind up the side of the hill.  At the top is a short path leading
to an old shrine.  There is SACRED WATER lying on the ground here in front of
one of the stone lanterns.  Grab it, then approach the shrine to find a hidden
ghost.
**********
!!-Hidden Ghost: SHRINE SHADOW (1000)
  Your filament will begin to glow as you approach the shrine.  The spirit is
hovering over the lantern on the right side of the shrine door.  If you are
standing too close to the lantern you won't be able to get the shot; move
around while aiming at the lantern until you get a glowing Capture Circle, then
take your shot!
**********
  Now search the other lantern by the shrine door (on the left side).  You will
find VILLAGE REPORT 3, and the surveyor's ghost will appear yet again.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: MAN AT SHRINE (~1000)
  After finding the Village Report 3, do not enter the shrine or this ghost
will not appear.  Instead, walk slowly away back along the path.  After you
have taken a few steps the surveyor will appear behind you at the shrine's
door.  Turn and photograph him before he disappears.  [NOTE: This ghost will
appear again later, during Chapter Eight.  Even if you capture him both times,
it still only counts as one entry on your Spirit List.]
**********
  If you have found all four Village Reports and captured Masumi Makimura's
image each time, you will receive the VILLAGE REPORT 5.  Now you can enter the
shrine.

--KUREHA SHRINE
  As you enter there will be an aisle between two latticed-off areas on the
left and right.  Go through the gap on the E side and search the urns there to
find HERBAL MEDICINE.  As you proceed farther into the shrine you will see a
SPIRIT ORB lying on the ground on the left side of the altar.  Grab it, then go
around to the right side of the altar and through the broken lattice.  There is
a door in the back of the altar but it's locked; further on, in the far corner,
you will see some SACRED WATER.  After you get these items you can leave.  Go
back down the stairs and take the path E to return to the village.  Now you can
unlock the gate at the N side of the village!  But before you do this, you can
explore a small area of the Kiryu house.  To get there, take the N road back
into the town.  At the top of the stairs going down to the E, you will see a
little ramp that leads up to a ledge with a door.  This door is unlocked, so
you can use it to get into the Kiryu house.

--KIRYU HOUSE, 1F SLIDING SCREEN ROOM
  A random ghost (Broken Neck Woman) may attack you while exploring this house.
 Since this is a new type of ghost, I will give a battle strategy here.
**********
!!-Random Ghost: BROKEN NECK WOMAN
  This ghost will attack you in a familiar pattern, but with a catch.  She is
fairly aggressive and will glide toward you and try to grab you.  To get a Zero
Shot, you must wait for her to begin her attack.  When she moves in, she will
duck down at the same time; use the R Stick to back away as she moves in.  She
will rise up again as she reaches for you, and if you have backed out of range
you will be able to shoot her during a Fatal Frame.  After you hit Broken Neck,
you won't be able to get another Shutter Chance for a few seconds; this means
that if you just stay put the ghost will probably be able to hit you with her
next lunge.  To prevent this, back away after taking your shot so that her next
attack doesn't happen too quickly.  You might be grabbed a few times as you
become familiar with this pattern, but you should have a good supply of healing
items to help you out.  Remember: hit with the Zero Shot during her attack,
then run away before taking aim again.  Broken Neck has more HP than the weak
Villagers and Man in Dark, so you might need to hit with the Zero Shot three or
four times to win.
**********
  When you enter the house you will be in a small entryway with a door and a
staircase.  Look under the stairs to find some HERBAL MEDICINE.  There is a
small storage space next to the entrance full of boxes, but there are no items
there.  Next, go through the W door to find the Projector Room.

--KIRYU HOUSE, 1F PROJECTOR ROOM
  There is a film projector in this room; when you enter it will automatically
start playing.  After watching the movie you can examine the projector to take
the film with you; it is FILM REEL 1.  That's all that's here, so go back to
the entryway and go up the stairs.

--KIRYU HOUSE, 2F SLIDING SCREEN ROOM
  When you get to the top of the stairs, turn right and go around the short
hallway to find an open doorway into the Sliding Screen Room.  In front of the
small window you will see an item; it's the STUN LENS (along with THE "STUN"
LENS file and some TYPE-14 FILM)!  This is a nice item; when you shoot a ghost
with this Lens it will freeze periodically, making it much much easier to get
hit the ghost during a Shutter Chance.  In the corner of the room are some
bookshelves; if you search them you will find the book FOLKLORIST 2.  There are
two doors leading out of this area.  The W door is locked, so go through the S
door.

--KIRYU HOUSE, 2F CONNECTING CORRIDOR
  You will find yourself on a high breezeway connecting the Kiryu house with
its neighbor across the street.  In the center of this bridge you can find a
CHRYSOBERYL to use with your Radio.  The door on the other side of the bridge
is locked.  This is all you can do in the Kiryu house for now, so go back
inside, go down the stairs, and exit the house.

--VILLAGE, KIRYU-TACHIBANA
  Examine the big locked gate and Mio will automatically unlock it with the
Twin Statue Keys.  Go on through to the next area.

--VILLAGE, WHISPER BRIDGE
  The next area is a long bridge leading to the Kurosawa mansion.  Before you
go out onto the bridge, check the shore on the W side to find some HERBAL
MEDICINE.  Now proceed N across the bridge.  When you are about 3/4 of the way
across, a ghost will appear off to the left over the water.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: FLOATING WOMAN (~300)
  When the ghost appears, aim your camera out to the left to capture her.
**********
  After capturing the ghost there will be a cutscene ... and you will enter a
battle!
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: SUNKEN WOMAN
  She appears right in front of you; quickly take out the camera to get a Zero
Shot as she closes in.  This ghost will teleport whenever you get a Zero Shot,
so use the Filament to get a bearing on her new location.  Sunken Woman's
favorite tactic is to float slowly about; when she begins drifting toward you
be ready to hit her during the Shutter Moment before she grabs you.  If you see
her dive down below the water, stop aiming and run because she will pop up from
underneath the bridge and try to grab your ankles.  If you are quick you can
also get a Zero Shot during this move, but you should concentrate on not
getting hurt.  Three strong hits should do the trick.
**********
  When the battle is over an item will appear on the bridge; pick it up to get
the GREEN CRYSTAL and a SPIRIT ORB.  A hidden ghost will also appear.
**********
!!-Hidden Ghost: DROWNED WOMAN (1000)
  To find this ghost, aim down through the hole in the bridge where you found
the items after the battle.
**********
  Now you can go through the door at the N end of Whisper Bridge to enter
Kurosawa Mansion.

--KUROSAWA, 1F GROUNDS
  A vanishing ghost appears the moment you step through the gate.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: BLOODY KIMONO (~300)
  Take out your camera and capture this ghost the instant you step through the
gate.  She appears on the path directly in front of you.
**********
  There is a lantern you can use here to SAVE THE GAME.  Before going inside
the mansion, check the little nook in the NE corner to find a SPIRIT ORB. 
There are two doors leading inside; the smaller one is locked so go through the
big double doors.  There will be a cutscene ... in which Mio's Flashlight goes
out.  The worst thing about Kurosawa mansion is that your Flashlight will not
work when you are inside...  This marks the end of Chapter Two!


C. CHAPTER THREE: THE REPENTANCE
********************************
  Your goal during this chapter is simple: find your sister Mayu!

--KUROSAWA, 1F ENTRANCE
  [NOTE: A new message is now available from Mayu's Charm.]  A vanishing ghost
will appear as you begin to head up the steps and past the ruined tapestry
that's hanging down from a second-floor balcony.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: PRIEST BEHIND (~900)
  As you walk into the room, this ghost appears behind you, right in front of
the doors.  Be ready to turn and snap a picture of him when he appears.
**********
  If this is your second or more time through the game and you have the Sense
Function, you can also find a hidden ghost here.
**********
!!-Hidden Ghost: LOOKING DOWN (1000) [Sense Function required]
  To find the ghost, stand just in front of the big curtain and aim up at the
balcony ledge above you on the second floor.  You can only find this ghost with
the Sense Function.
**********
Continue N down the corridor to find two doors.  The right door is locked and
marked with a butterfly symbol.  The left door is unlocked, so open it.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: TERRIFIED MAN (~800)
  Before you go into the next room, switch to the Finder.  Behind the kimono
that's ahead of you, you will see a man cowering in the corner.  Unlike other
vanishers, this ghost is not on a time limit (and it won't cause a reaction
from your Filament).  It WILL vanish if you get too close to it, however.
**********
  Now you can enter the next area.

--KUROSAWA, 1F ANTECHAMBER
  The dot glowing in the SW corner is a new piece of equipment for your camera:
 THE INSTANT FUNCTION.  This device enables a blinking light underneath the
Filament (in Finder Mode) that lets you know when a Fatal Frame moment occurs. 
Along with this item you will also get THE "INSTANT" FUNCTION tutorial file and
some TYPE-14 FILM.  In the opposite corner, where you saw the Terrified Man,
you can search the furniture there to find HERBAL MEDICINE and TYPE-14 FILM. 
When you have collected all of these items, open the S door to trigger another
short scene in which you will control Mayu.  As before, when controlling your
sister you can't use any items or use the menu.  Just go down the hallway and
through the door at the end.  After this scene you will take control of Mio
again.

--KUROSAWA, 1F DIRT-FLOOR PASSAGEWAY
  You must be getting close to Mayu because this is the same hallway you just
saw in the last scene.  You won't have it as easy as her, though, because as
you proceed down the hall evil spirits will attack you.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: LIMBO MAN
  This guy appears when you pass the little side hall branching off to the S. 
He'll be ahead of you at the point where the hall bends to the N.  Fighting
this guy is very easy.  Just stay put and let him come to you.  When he
attacks, he will bend over first; use the R Stick to begin backing away, out of
range of his attack.  When he stands back up, there will be a nice chance to
hit him during a Fatal Frame.  You should be able to score Combo Shots against
him quite easily after that.  He can't teleport or anything, so just keep
aiming and wait for him to bend over again to take your next shot.  Easy! 
You'll probably need four Zero Shots to beat him.
**********
  If you go down the branch to the S, you will see a door at the end that you
can't get through.  The wall here is covered with gruesome bloody handprints. 
You'll need to remember where this place is a little later.  Go back and take
the N branch of the hall to trigger another ghost battle.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: LIMBO WOMAN
  This counterpart to Limbo Man has a much trickier pattern.  First of all, she
is faster.  Second of all, she can teleport.  As she moves in toward you she
will often flicker from side to side, so use the Square Button to accelerate
your aim as you track her.  She won't bend over before attacking you like Limbo
Man, she just moves in for the grab, so just try to keep head within your
Capture Circle and be ready for the Shutter Chance.  This will occur hen she
gets fairly close, just before she grabs you; you must time the shot well to
knock her back and avoid getting hurt.  You can use the Slow Lens to good
effect on this ghost since she moves so quickly.  When you take a picture of
her, she will teleport away, most likely reappearing behind you.  Use the
Filament to keep track of her when she teleports.  If you have upgraded your
Sensitivity, you will be able to defeat her with two or three Zero Shots.
**********
  Ok, you've finally made it to the end of the hallway.  You'll see a SPIRIT
ORB lying right there on the ground.  It's hard to see, but there is a hole in
the floor right next to the sliding door; examine the hole to find a GLOWING
GREEN CRYSTAL.  That's all here for now, go through the door into the next room.

--KUROSAWA, IF GREAT HALL
  There are two items here; the FLOURITE 1 crystal is in the middle of the room
next to the fireplace, and some SACRED WATER is hidden in the corner between
the torn screens to the SW of the fireplace.  When you have picked up these
items and start heading around to the door in the NE you will see a cutscene
... and a powerful, deadly ghost will appear!  DO NOT TRY TO FIGHT THIS GHOST! 
It's completely invulnerable and it can kill you with one touch.  All you can
do at this point is RUN AWAY.  Fortunately the ghost moves pretty slowly, so
you should be able to run and get through the NE door without trouble.  (If you
are feeling brave, you can try to grab a hidden box of TYPE-90 FILM that's in a
small gap between the screens on the left as you are running for the door.)

--KUROSAWA, 1F COURTYARD STAIRCASE
  The giant ghost won't follow you out here.  Check your Memo book to see a new
entry about the last cutscene, MASSACRE.  As you head over to start climbing
the stairs a vanishing ghost will appear.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: 2ND FLOOR MAYU (~600)
  As soon as you step around the corner toward the stairs, Mayu will appear. 
She is high above you on a 2nd-floor balcony.  Quickly take out the camera and
(using the Square Button to accelerate) aim up and to the right to get a
picture of her before she fades away!
**********
  Before heading up to follow her, check the dead end to the NE to find a STONE
MIRROR.  If you check the little alcove here you will see an object draped in
filthy cloth; you can't get anything here now but remember it for later.  Now
you can go up the stairs.

--KUROSAWA, 2F COURTYARD STAIRCASE
  At last, a save point!  If you are on your second time through the game you
can find a hidden ghost here.
**********
!!-Hidden Ghost: UNREQUITED (1000) [Sense Function required]
  Stand next to the save point, and if you have the Sense Function your
Filament will react.  To find the ghost, simply aim up at the rooftops and your
Capture Circle will turn blue.
**********
  After saving, go through the door to the next area.

--KUROSAWA, 2F GUEST ROOM HALLWAY
  The first door you see is locked.  Just go down the hall and through the door
at the end.

--KUROSAWA, 2F GUEST ROOM
  Search the dresser by the door to find TYPE-61 FILM, then check the bookcase
in the corner to find the FOLKLORIST 3 book.  That's all you can get here, so
go through the N door.

--KUROSAWA, 2F FLICKERING ROOM
  This eerie room is lit by a flickering lamp (thus the name).  Search the
dried flowers hanging on the wall by the door to find HERBAL MEDICINE.  More
HERBAL MEDICINE is hidden in the dresser at the other end of the room.  The
door in the NW corner has a lock with a Diamond Stack pattern.  Take a picture
of the door and you'll see a BLOODY WALL.  Remember this place?  It was in the
hallway where you fought Limbo Man and Limbo Woman.  You will have to run past
that terrible invincible ghost to get back there.  Go back through the Guest
Room and Hallway to the Courtyard and SAVE THE GAME (pay no heed to the voices
you hear along the way).  Then go down the stairs and back into the Great Hall;
keep running so you aren't killed by the big ghost; don't try to cut across the
center, just stay close to the walls.  Go through the W door.

--KUROSAWA, 1F DIRT-FLOOR PASSAGEWAY
  Some vanishing ghosts will appear as you make your way to the door with the
bloody handprints.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: FLEEING VILLAGER (~600)
  This guy appears as you round the first corner; he will be right in front of
you and quickly turn to run away.  You must take your picture very quickly,
before he turns and runs, or it won't count.  This ghost is hard to capture.
**********
  Before you go on, switch to the fast Type-61 Film.  Another pair of ghosts
appears as you approach the branch to the S.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: DRAGGER & DRAGGEE (~600)
  When you near the corner where the hallway branches to the S, this ghost will
appear.  Before you aim, run forward a few steps so you can see down the hall,
then take your shot.  If this is your first time through the game, your Capture
Circle may not be large enough yet to fit both ghosts in one shot.  If you have
fast film loaded, you can try taking a picture of one ghost, then the other. 
Or you can just worry about capturing one of them and concentrate on the next
one when you replay the game.  This ghost will linger a bit longer than the
last one, so you should have time to capture it without too much trouble.
**********
  When you get to the end of the S branch of the hallway the door there will
open for you automatically, as if the spirits were there waiting for you.  This
can't be good.  Go through the door.

--KUROSAWA, 1F BLOODSTAINED ROOM
  You will have a tough battle in this macabre room.  First, pick up the item
in the middle of the floor; it's the BLAST LENS (along with THE "BLAST" LENS
tutorial file and some TYPE-14 FILM).  Immediately equip this Lens for use in
the upcoming battle.  (NOTE: The Blast Lens requires 2 units of Spirit Power. 
You should have made at least one upgrade to your Accumulation by now; if not,
you won't be able to use this Lens!)  If you search the dresser in the NW
corner you can find HERBAL MEDICINE.  When you are ready, take a picture of the
swinging door in the NE.  The door will slam shut and the battle will
immediately begin.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghosts: LIMBO MAN & LIMBO WOMAN
  This is the most difficult battle yet by far, mostly because of the tiny
space you have to fight in.  Both ghosts will attack you at once.  You have
fought each of these ghosts separately before so you know their patterns. 
Limbo Man will bend over when he attacks, so you have to adjust your aim to get
the Zero Shot.  Limbo Woman can teleport and come at you from behind.  You
should try to take out Limbo Woman first if you can, but don't forget to keep
your eye on Limbo Man and take a Zero Shot on him whenever you get the chance. 
The Blast Lens is most effective on Limbo Man because he can't teleport, so
save it for him.  You will probably get grabbed once or twice in this battle;
if this happens, run away to the other side of the room and use a healing item.
 Don't let your health get too low; although you should have a Stone Mirror
(which will replenish your health one time if you run out) you will want to
conserve this item.
**********
  Whew!  That was a tough fight!  When it's over, you will get the DIAMOND
STACK KEY.  You can go back and unlock the door in the Flickering Room now, but
you'll have to run past the invincible ghost once more to get there.

--KUROSAWA, 1F DIRT-FLOOR PASSAGEWAY
  Just outside the Bloodstained Room you will see a blue dot on the floor. 
Grab it to get the FAINTLY GLOWING CRYSTAL and a valuable SPIRIT ORB.  (Don't
forget to use these Orbs and upgrade your Camera!!)  Go back through the door
at the N end of the passage, run past the invincible ghost, and SAVE THE GAME
in the 2F Courtyard.  Go through the S door and down the hallway to the Guest
Room.

--KUROSAWA, 2F GUEST ROOM
  A vanishing ghost will appear when you come back to this room.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: TURNS HEAD (~600)
  The folklorist's ghost will appear by the bookcase in the corner when you
enter.  Take a picture of him as he turns to look at you.
**********
  When the ghost vanishes, an item will be left behind.  You will see a
cutscene when you pick it up ... and you will get the FOLKLORIST 4 book.  Also,
Mio will make new entries in the Memo book: SECRET SITE and FOLKLORIST.  Also,
your Lost Village memo will be updated to become the ALL GOD'S VILLAGE memo. 
When you've checked out all this stuff, go through the N door back to the
Flickering Room.

--KUROSAWA, 2F FLICKERING ROOM
  As you head for the locked door a ghost will appear on the floor.  It won't
move or do anything and you can't capture it ... yet.  Just unlock the door and
go to the next room.

--KUROSAWA, 2F DOLL STAND ROOM
  There is a cutscene as you enter ... and you will finally be reunited with
Mayu!  You have made it to the end of Chapter Three!


D. CHAPTER FOUR: FORBIDDEN RITUAL
*********************************
  Your goal during Chapter Four is try and find a way to escape from Kurosawa
Mansion.

--KUROSAWA, 2F DOLL STAND ROOM
  Check the place where you found Mayu.  You will get BUTTERFLY DIARY 1 and a
picture of WARPED TWINS.  There are some shelves decorated with dolls here;
that's nice, some of the their heads have been broken off.  Your Filament will
react when you approach this shelf; use your camera photograph it and in your
picture the dolls will have been rearranged.  Hm...  All you can do for now is
return to the Flickering Room.

--KUROSAWA, 2F FLICKERING ROOM
  As you cross the room the ghost you saw earlier will reappear, but this time
she will attack you.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: WOMAN IN BOX
  You have fought this ghost before.  Run past her when she appears so that
when the battle starts you are behind her.  Having Mayu with you actually makes
the battles easier because the ghosts will often attack her instead of you,
making it easy to get a Zero Shot.  Mayu seems to have a LOT of health, so
don't worry if the ghost manages to grab her (but try not to let this happen). 
Woman in Box attacks with the same pattern as before.  When she is slumped over
you can't hurt her.  Keep a steady aim on her and wait for the Shutter Moment. 
Sometimes she will stand up and make rush for you (or Mayu); you should be able
to hit her easily as she closes in.  You will probably use four Zero Shots to
end this battle.
**********
  After the battle you will get the TWIN DOLL HEADS.  Creepy.  Take these heads
back to the Doll Shelf Room.

--KUROSAWA, 1F DOLL STAND ROOM
  If you check the doll shelf now, you can insert the heads that you found into
the headless dolls.  This activates a puzzle.  The object is to rearrange the
dolls so that the two red ones are on the wooden platforms in the center of the
top shelf.  Basically this works like a sliding-block puzzle.  There is one
empty position on the shelf, and if you select a doll adjacent to the empty
spot it will move there.  You have 60 seconds to complete this puzzle, but you
can retry it as many times as you like.  It's a fairly simple puzzle, but I
will describe the solution.  First, arrange the dolls in lower left corner so
that the two red dolls are adjacent and you have an empty space in the second
column.  Now you can march the dolls up the second column, sort of like a
conveyor belt, until they are at the top.  Simple, right?  If you are totally
stuck and can't figure this one out...
-----
  The dolls are basically arranged in a 4 x 4 grid.  You can only move the
dolls that have heads, so some of the positions on the grid are unusable. 
Let's number the positions, like so:

  X  2  3  X     The positions marked X have headless dolls that you can't move.
  X  6  7  8     The red dolls start a positions 13 & 15.
  9  10 11 X     You must get the red dolls into positions 2 & 3.
  13 14 15 16    Position 11 is empty when you start the puzzle.

  To solve, select the dolls in this order: 10, 14, 13 (now the red dolls are
adjacent), 9, 10, 14, 15, 11, 7, 6, 10, 14, 15, 11, 7, 3, 2, 6, 10, 11, 7, 3,
2, 6.
-----
When you have solved the puzzle, a secret drawer will open and you will get the
BUTTERFLY KEY.  This opens a door way back in the entrance hall of the mansion,
so that will be your next destination.  Before you leave this room, though, you
can find a hidden ghost.
**********
!!-Hidden Ghost: DOLL STAND SHADOW (1000)
  You can only find this ghost after you have solved the Doll Stand puzzle. 
Aim your camera to the shadows on the right side of the doll stand to find it.
**********
  After collecting this ghost, go back through the Flickering Room to the Guest
Room.

--KUROSAWA, 2F GUEST ROOM
  A new item has appeared here on the table; the KUROSAWA HOUSE MAP and the
FOLKLORIST 6 book.  The map seems to show the way to an exit, but it's not much
use now.  If you are replaying the game and have the Sense Function, there are
also two ghosts you can find here.  You can't find these ghosts if it's your
first time through the game.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: HANGING HAND (~400) [Sense Function required]
  This ghost is not on a timer, but if you get too close it will disappear. 
It's easy to spot; a pale, naked arm hanging out of the big round window. 
Don't approach it, just take out the camera and shoot it!
**********
  After capturing Hanging Hand, remain in Finder Mode and move toward the round
window to find another ghost.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: NO ESCAPE (~1200) [Sense Function required]
  When you approach the window after capturing the dangling arm, an image of
Limbo Woman will suddenly drop upside-down from the ceiling!  She will hang
there in front of the window for a second before she disappears.  If you are
already in Finder Mode this will be an easy capture.
**********
  Now head out the NE door into the hallway.

--KUROSAWA, 2F GUEST ROOM HALLWAY
  A vanishing ghost will appear as you go down the hall.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: TALKING MAN (~800)
  As you round the corner on the hallway a ghost will appear in front of you. 
This one is easy, just switch to the camera and take a shot.
**********
  Continue on to the Courtyard.

--KUROSAWA, 2F COURTYARD STAIRCASE
  Use the lantern to SAVE THE GAME, then head down the stairs to trigger a
vanishing ghost appearance.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: CALLING MAN (~900)
  When you reach the first landing, a ghost will appear behind you at the top
of the stairs.  Quickly turn around and switch to the Finder.  Mio will
automatically aim up at the ghost.  Don't worry if Mayu is in the shot, she
won't spoil it.
**********
  After capturing the ghost, go down the stairs to the first floor.

--KUROSAWA, 1F COURTYARD STAIRCASE
  There is a hidden ghost here that you can find.
**********
!!-Hidden Ghost: GARDEN WOMAN (1000)
  When you get to the bottom of the stairs, your filament will react as you
near the door.  Draw out your camera and aim into the garden, near the stone
lantern, to find this ghost.
**********
  Before going through the door, run to the NE end of the walkway and search
the alcove there.  The dirty cloth covering the dragon statue here is gone and
you will be able to find a new piece of equipment for your camera, the EVADE
FUNCTION (along with THE "EVADE" FUNTION tutorial file and some TYPE-14 FILM.) 
This nifty device will allow you to escape a ghost's grasp by using the flash
on your camera if you mash the X Button when you are attacked.  It doesn't
always work, but when it does you will escape without taking any damage.  Nice!
 Now go through the door and back into the Great Hall

--KUROSAWA, 1F GREAT HALL
  There will be a cutscene when you enter ... and it will be safe to walk
around here now; the invincible spirit is gone.  The room is now splattered
with bloodstains, yikes.  There is a door in the NW corner that you haven't
been through yet, so go there now.

--KUROSAWA, 1F STOREROOM
  If you captured all four images of the surveyor, Masumi Makimura, earlier in
Chapter Two and received the Village Report 5, then there will be a vanishing
ghost and an item in this closet.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: EXHAUSTED MAN (~1200)
  He is slumped against the E wall, just take out your camera and photograph
him before he vanishes.
**********
  After the ghost disappears you will find a BLOODY RING.  You'll find out what
this is for later, just carry it with you for now.  Return to the Great Hall
and exit through the W door.

--KUROSAWA, 1F DIRT-FLOOR PASSAGEWAY
  When you enter the passage you will be attacked by Limbo Man.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: LIMBO MAN
  This battle is much like your earlier encounter with this ghost that you had
here during Chapter Three.  There are two important differences, though. 
First, Limbo Man has a lot more HP.  Second, Mayu is with you.  When the battle
starts, run away so that Mayu is between you and the ghost.  Then take aim and
wait for Limbo Man to go after your sister.  It's cruel to use her as bait like
this, but when he attacks her you should be able to get a Zero Shot quite
easily.  Since Limbo Man has more health than before you will probably need six
or seven good Zero Shots to win.
**********
  After the battle a SPIRIT ORB will be left behind.  Grab it and go through
the door at the E end of the passage to the Antechamber.  There's nothing new
here, so take the NE door back to the Entrance.

--KUROSAWA, 1F ENTRANCE
  There are three Vanishing Ghosts that can appear in this room.  Of the three,
Curtain Shadow will always appear.  The other two ghosts, Hopes for Ritual and
Behind Cloth, are mutually exclusive however.  If you trigger Hopes for Ritual,
Behind Cloth will not appear, and vice versa.  You will have to choose which
ghost to capture now, and then get the other one the next time you play the
game.  If you want to capture Hopes for Ritual, then use the Butterfly Key to
open the locked door before you do anything else.  If you want to capture
Behind Cloth, then don't unlock the door yet and head to the S end of the room
first.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: HOPES FOR RITUAL (~650)
  As soon as you try using the key to unlock the door at the N end of the
hallway this ghost will appear.  Quickly turn to your right so you are facing
down the hall, then switch to the Finder and shoot before he disappears.  He
doesn't stay long, so you must act fast!
**********
  Head S along the hall to trigger the next ghost.  This ghost always appears.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: CURTAIN SHADOW (~750)
  It will appear when you are about halfway down the hallway.  Your filament
will not glow at all; you will know to take out your camera when the screen
becomes hazy with static.  Aim straight ahead at the curtain and you will see
someone walking by on the other side.  Your Capture Circle will NOT turn blue,
but you will see a Lock Circle targeting the ghost.
**********
  If you didn't capture Hopes for Ritual, you can make Behind Cloth appear by
trying to open the front door of the mansion.  As noted above, if you trigger
this ghost than Hopes for Ritual won't materialize.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: BEHIND CLOTH (~800)
  Before you try the door, wait for Mayu to catch up with you.  If she walks
through the area where the ghost appears she can obstruct your shot.  The ghost
will appear directly behind you, so immediately after checking the door turn
around and start aiming.
**********
  There are no items here, so go back to the N end of the hallway and use the
Butterfly Key to open the locked door on the right.

--KUROSAWA, 1F STORAGE ROOM
  There is a door in the S end of the room.  Approach this door to trigger a
ghost appearance.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: CHILD AT DOOR (~600)
  As you near the S door it will suddenly open!  A child's ghost will peek
through the door.  Even if all you can see is his hand, you should still be
able to get a valid photo.  Just aim at the door when it opens and wait for the
Capture Circle to turn blue.
**********
  You will see an item in the other room beyond the open door, but don't go
after it just yet.  If you examine the front of the clock you will find some
SACRED WATER.  Then search the dresser to find HERBAL MEDICINE.  If you look up
at the ceiling you will see an item stuck up there among some broken planks. 
How can you get it?  Go upstairs to get a closer look.

--KUROSAWA, 2F PARTITION SCREEN ROOM
  As you walk past the screens a ghost will appear.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: PEEKING CHILD (~800)
  This ghost will appear on your left, between two of the screens.  He's
crouched down, looking through a hole in the floor.  You'll have to aim
downward to capture him, but since he lingers for a second or two this one
should be easy to get.
**********
  Examine the place where the ghost appeared and you will see a hole in the
floor.  There's the item that you saw stuck in the ceiling of the Storage Room,
but you still can't get it quite yet.  Before you go back downstairs, search
the box between two partitions to find some TYPE-14 FILM.  At the top of the
stairs is a dresser; search it thoroughly to find the CEREMONY MASTER'S NOTE 3.
 Now go back downstairs.  [NOTE: There is a door at the S end of this room;
it's unlocked, but we'll return and explore it later.]

--KUROSAWA, 1F STORAGE ROOM
  As you come down the stairs a child's ball will fall through the hole in the
ceiling.  Did the ghost drop this??  Pick up the CRIMSON BALL and go back
upstairs.

--KUROSAWA, 2F PARTITION SCREEN ROOM
  Go back to the hole in the floor and examine it.  Mio will drop the ball
through the hole, dislodging the item that was stuck there.  Now you can go
back downstairs and see what it is!

--KUROSAWA, 1F STORAGE ROOM
  It's a key, the DIAMOND LINK KEY.  Hm, you haven't seen a door with this lock
on it yet.  To find the door, head through the open door in the S.
  [NOTE: There are some vanishing ghosts in the next area that are VERY
difficult to capture.  If you are determined to capture all the ghosts (a
laudable goal!), you will be wise to make a trek back to the Courtyard
Staircase and SAVE THE GAME so that you can have another chance at capturing
these ghosts if you fail on the first try.]

--KUROSAWA, 1F CLOTH HALLWAY
  This hallway is hung with tattered banners.  The first vanishing ghost will
appear as soon as you enter.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: FADING CHILD (~400)
  This kid appears just in front of you and runs down the hallway.  You have
only a split-second to take out the camera and capture him before the banner
obscures him.  This one is pretty hard, but there's another even harder ghost
appearance coming up soon.
**********
  There is TYPE-14 FILM lying nearby in the corner.  Grab it and continue down
the hallway.  You'll see a pair of double doors on the left, but they are
locked.  When you pass by these doors another vanishing ghost will appear.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: CUT-IN CHILD (~600)
  Ok, they don't get any harder than this.  The ghost runs very fast across the
hallway.  He will emerge from the right-hand or S wall and run through the N
wall.  To capture this ghost, you must be in Finder Mode when it appears
because you won't even have time to draw your camera before it is gone.  Switch
to the Finder when you reach the double doors.  Stand against the N wall and
aim DOWN at the bottom part of the S wall.  Using the R Stick, slowly begin
moving E, always hugging the N wall, and with your finger hovering over the
shutter button.  You will hear a heartbeat just before the ghost appears; it
will come flying out of the S wall and run right through you in the blink of an
eye.  To insure that you get a good shot, watch the Capture Circle and be ready
to take your shot when it turns blue.  This one is very very hard, so good luck!
**********
  You can't open the double doors right now, so to the W end of the hallway. 
Use the Diamond Link key to unlock the door here and go through.

--KUROSAWA, 1F WAREHOUSE
  A vanishing ghost will appear as soon as you enter.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: WAREHOUSE CHECKER (~500)
  After you enter the room, the ghost will appear and go through the nearby
doors on your right (that's MIO'S right).  This one moves slowly, so it should
be easy for you to capture it as it goes through the doorway.
**********
  There are no items here.  Follow the ghost through the doorway; another ghost
will appear when you step through.

--KUROSAWA, 1F CELL
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: CAPTIVE MAN (~750)
  This ghost appears inside the cell.  To capture him, draw out your camera and
aim through the wooden bars.  You might have to maneuver a little bit with the
R Stick to get a clean shot; don't hit the shutter until the Capture Circle
turns blue!
**********
  After capturing the ghost, check the cell door and you will see that it is
fastened with two padlocks.  One lock has a 'Light' symbol and the other has a
'Shadow' symbol.  Your next job is to find the keys for these locks so you can
enter the cell.  Nearby on the ground is the FOLKLORIST 8 book.  When you read
this book, Mio will make a Memo book entry about THE CAVE.  Now let's search
for the two keys.  Return to the Warehouse and go N down the hallway.

--KUROSAWA, 1F WAREHOUSE HALLWAY
  As you enter the hall you will see a dark nook on the right.  Search among
the urns there to find TYPE-61 FILM.  As you continue down the hallway to the
N, a vanishing ghost will appear.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: CLINGING SHADOW (~800)
  This ghost is a little different than the other vanishers.  When you leave
the dark nook and go N down the hallway, Mayu will lag behind (as usual).  When
she emerges from the nook, the ghost will come out and grab at her (there's a
short cutscene when this happens...).  Turn around and take a picture of the
ghost while it's wrestling with Mayu.  This ghost only appears if Mayu is
lagging behind, so if it doesn't show, go back to the S end of the hall, then
run N and try again.
**********
  Now go to the end of the hallway and through the door at the bottom of the
stairs.

--KUROSAWA, UNDERGROUND CELLAR
  There is a save point in here; but before you can use it you must defeat a
hostile ghost.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: VIELED PRIEST
  This ghost will appear many times in the course of the game.  The Veiled
Priest has a variety of attacks, but all of them can be interrupted with a Zero
Shot.  Keep your camera trained on the ghost, using the Filament to track him
if he disappears behind a wall.  When the ghost raises his staff, he's about to
attack; this is when the Shutter Moment will occur.  His simplest attack is to
approach you and try to hit you with the staff.  But he can also use his staff
to launch a ranged attack; this can be a group of blue wisps or a floating
skull.  Whatever the attack form, the ghost must pause and raise his staff
first, so watch for this and be ready to spoil the attack with a Zero Shot.  If
you can't spoil the attack, stop aiming and run; the wisps and floating skulls
will disappear after chasing you around for a little bit.  Fortunately the
ranged attacks don't cause much damage.  Sometimes the Veiled Priest will swoop
quickly from side to side; use the Square Button to accelerate your aim so that
you can keep up with him, because when he reaches the end of his swoop there
will be a brief Shutter Moment.  Use these moments to your advantage!  This
ghost can teleport as well, so if your Filament goes dark, quickly pan around
to find his new location.  If you can adapt to this ghost's patterns he
shouldn't be too hard; the ghost has a fair amount of HP, and you will probably
need five or six Zero Shots to win.  You can make things easier by using the
Blast Lens.
**********
  After the battle a SPIRIT ORB will be left behind.  Grab it, then use the
lantern to SAVE THE GAME.  At the stop of the stairs near the save lantern is a
locked door marked with a Hammer symbol; this door leads outside...but you
can't open it yet.  First you must open the locked cell.  Return to the
Warehouse and take the E door back to the Cloth Hallway.

--KUROSAWA, 1F CLOTH HALLWAY
  A vanishing ghost will appear in this hall.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: RITUAL PUSHER (~700)
  The ghost appears as you approach the double doors.  He lingers for a while
before walking through the doors.  This one is pretty easy to capture.
**********
  Follow the ghost through the doors, which are now unlocked.

--KUROSAWA, 1F FAMILY ALTAR ROOM
  The Veiled Priest will attack you again when you enter the room.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: VEILED PRIEST
  Use the same strategy as you did in the Underground Cellar.  Wait for the
ghost to raise his staff in preparation to attack and hit him with the Zero
Shot.  The Blast Lens will help boost your damage, so don't hesitate to use it.
 This battle is pretty much exactly the same as the one you just had.
**********
  After the battle you will find CEREMONY MASTER'S NOTE 1 in front of the
altar.  If you head into the NE alcove you will barely see an item glowing
among the lamps, near the floor; it is CEREMONY MASTER'S NOTE 4.  Finally, you
can find HERBAL MEDICINE at the end of the opposite alcove, in the NW.  There
are lots of stairs leading out of this room, going both up AND down.  Each path
will lead you to one of the keys that you need to unlock the cell.  Let's start
by going down the stairs in the SE corner and through the door at the bottom.

--KUROSAWA, 1F CONNECTING CORRIDOR
  At the end of a short passage are stairs leading back up.  A pair of walkways
leads to the N, each ending in a door.  Go down the E walkway and you'll see
there are panels in the floor in front of each doorway.  To unlock the doors,
both panels must be depressed at the same time, so Mayu will stay behind while
you run back and go down the other walkway and stand on the other panel.  The
doors will unlock and Mio and Mayu will automatically go through into the next
room.

--KUROSAWA, 1F LATTICE ROOM
  A ghost appears as soon as you enter.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: WAITING PRIEST (~900)
  This stationary ghost appears nearby the moment that you enter the room, so
simply switch to the Finder and take his picture!
**********
  You can then use the lantern here to SAVE THE GAME.  In the place where the
ghost appeared you will find the SHADOW KEY.  All right!  There's one key left
to find.  Before going back, go through the double doors to the N.

--KUROSAWA, 1F ROPE TEMPLE
  This ominous room has a locked door opposite from where you entered marked
with a Butterfly design.  You won't find this key for quite a while.  If you
check the altar in the center of the room you will find CEREMONY MASTER'S NOTE
5.  There's nothing else here, so head back the way you came.  Use the W
passage to return to the Family Altar Room and fill out your map.

--KUROSAWA, 1F FAMILY ALTAR ROOM
  Just inside the door, at the bottom of the W stairs, you will find some
SPIRIT WATER.  A new item has appeared in front of the double doors; it's a
GLOWING RED CRYSTAL and a SPIRIT ORB.  Don't go through the doors yet, first go
UP the stairs in the SW corner.

--KUROSAWA, 2F MEDITATION ROOM
  There's an item on the floor here; grab it to get the SEE LENS (along with
THE "SEE" LENS tutorial file and some TYPE-14 FILM).  When you hit a ghost with
this lens, it will light up and be easier to track.  The item on the little
altar is the BUTTERFLY DIARY 3.  You'll also notice a panel on the floor here
similar to the ones in the Connecting Corridor.  It unlocks the door in the W
wall.  Lead Mayu over the panel and she will stand there so you can go through
the door.

--KUROSAWA, 2F MASTER'S ROOM
  You will be in a tiny closet that looks into the Master's Room through a
wooden lattice.  Approach the lattice to trigger a vanishing ghost appearance.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: SPEAKING MAN (~600)
  This ghost stays for a while so he should be easy to capture.  To see him,
run all the way up to the lattice and aim through it to the right.  You might
have to maneuver with the R Stick to get a good angle.  When the Capture Circle
turns blue, take your shot.
**********
  Don't leave before the ghost finishes speaking.  When he's done you will hear
the sound of something opening in the room on the other side of the lattice. 
That's all you can do here.  Don't forget to grab the BUTTERFLY DIARY 2 that's
on the floor before you leave.  To find the room that you saw, return to the
Family Altar Room and back out into the Cloth Hallway.  Go W to the Storage
Room and up the stairs, through the door by the place where you dropped the
Crimson Ball.

--KUROSAWA, 2F MASTER'S ROOM
  The Veiled Priest will probably attack you again as you enter here.  This
battle doesn't always happen.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: VEILED PRIEST
  Use the same tactics that have in your last two battles with this guy.  Wait
for him to attack, then blast him with a Zero Shot.  Heck, why not use the
Blast Lens and really make it hurt.  If he goes after Mayu, so much the better;
it makes getting a Zero Shot even easier.  You should be able to defeat him
with little trouble.
**********
  After you defeat the priest he will leave behind a SPIRIT ORB.  On the
cushion behind the pillar in the center of the room is the CEREMONY MASTER'S
NOTE 2.  The door in the NW corner leads back into the Guest Room hallway that
you were in earlier; go ahead and unlock it, but don't go through.  Now check
around the sides of the pillar.  You will find five books: CRIMSON WING TOME,
TABOO TOME, TWIN TOME, DISASTER TOME, and RITUAL TOME.  Each book has a word
highlighted in red.  Got all five books?  Then check the sixth side of the
pillar, where you see the statue.  This is the panel that opened when you were
behind the lattice earlier.  There are five slots here for you to put the five
books that you found in.  Use the Circle Button to read the note over the five
slots; it has five words highlighted in red too, matching the five words from
the books.  You must put the books in the slots in the same order as the five
words on the note.  Simple!  The order is:

   1 >> CRIMSON WING TOME
   2 >> TABOO TOME
   3 >> TWIN TOME
   4 >> DISASTER TOME
   5 >> RITUAL TOME

  When you have placed all five books, you will receive the LIGHT KEY.  Sweet! 
Now you have both keys to the cell.  Return to the Partition Screen Room
(through the N door).

--KUROSAWA, 2F PARTITION SCREEN ROOM
  A Man in Dark will attack as you proceed through this room.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: MAN IN DARK
  As you reach the top of the stairs the ghost will appear behind you, near the
hole in the floor that you dropped the Crimson Ball through.  Because of the
many partitions, you might have to maneuver a bit with the R Stick to get a
good line of sight.  Otherwise you should have no problem dealing with this
weak ghost.
**********
  The ghost leaves behind no items.  Go downstairs and head down the Cloth
Hallway.

--KUROSAWA, 1F CLOTH HALLWAY
  Man in Dark comes for you again in this hallway.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: MAN IN DARK
  The ghost will appear as you near the end of the hallway.  This battle is
complicated by the fact that the many tattered banners hanging down in your
face can obstruct your shots.  When the ghost appears, don't switch to the
camera right away.  Take a few steps toward the ghost to bait him into chasing
after you, then run back to the area by the double doors, where there are no
banners.  Wait for the ghost to come to you and let him have it!
**********
  Again, no items are left after this battle.  Just go through the Warehouse
Room and back to the Cell.

--KUROSAWA, 1F CELL
  Use the Light and Shadow Keys to unlock the cell door.  The first thing to do
in here is head for the bookshelves in the corner to trigger a ghost appearance.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: RITUAL RESEARCHER (~550)
  This ghost appears in the little nook formed by bookshelves in the corner. 
Run into the nook to capture him.
**********
  Search the place where the ghost appeared and you will find the HAMMER KEY
and the OSAKA HOUSE MAP.  Continue searching the shelves along the S wall to
find the books FOLKLORIST 9 and FOLKLORIST 10.  Finding these books prompts Mio
to make some new entries in the Memo book: TWIN SHRINE MAIDENS, THE HELLISH
ABYSS, and ONE REMAINED.  Before leaving the cell, look by the door to find
some TYPE-90 FILM.  As you make your way out, there will be a cutscene ... and
Mayu will become trapped!  Great.  On this happy note, the Chapter comes to a
close.


E. CHAPTER FIVE: THE SACRIFICE
******************************
  Your goal is to find a key to the cell that Mayu is trapped in.  According to
the map that you found, the key is located all the way back in the Osaka House.
 Sheet!  Fortunately, you now have the Hammer Key, which will allow you to
leave the Kurosawa Mansion.

--KUROSAWA, 1F WAREHOUSE
  Before you leave, you can take a picture of your imprisoned sister.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: CONFINED MAYU (0)
  Ok, technically it's not a vanishing ghost.  Throughout FF2 you will have
chances to take pictures of Mayu that count toward completing your Spirit List.
 Usually, these pictures aren't worth any points (but compare the picture "2nd
Floor Mayu" that you took during Chapter Three; that one WAS worth points). 
Mayu does not cause your Filament to react, nor will you Capture Circle light
up when you aim at her.  If you don't take this picture now you won't get
another chance later; thus I classify it as a vanishing ghost.  Just snap her
through the window of the cell, using the Lock Circle as a guide.
**********
  If you want to complete your spirit list, and IF it is your second or more
time through the game, you should now take a trip back through the mansion to
the 1F Storeroom to find a hidden ghost (the Storeroom is that tiny room where
you found the Bloody Ring NW of the Grand Hall; use your map to trace a path
back there.)  If you haven't beaten the game yet and don't have the Sense
Function, you WILL NOT be able to find this ghost.
  [NOTE: If you return to the Family Altar Room you will have a battle with a
new type of ghosts: the Children Playing Tag.  This encounter is completely
optional and you won't get any items for it.  There are other chances to fight
these ghosts later on, so I recommend skipping the battle for now.  But if you
feel like stocking up on more Spirit Points, then by all means go ahead and
fight them!]

--KUROSAWA, 1F STOREROOM (Optional)
**********
!!-Hidden Ghost: MASUMI MAKIMURA (1000) [Sense Function required]
  It's the lingering spirit of the geological surveyor.  This ghost is in the
back of the storeroom; you'll have to aim down a little bit to get your Capture
Circle to turn blue.
**********
  Return to the 1F Warehouse, go down the stairs, and through the door to the
Underground Cellar.

--KUROSAWA, UNDERGROUND CELLAR
  You must survive a ghost battle to pass through this room.
**********
!!-Attacking Ghost: WOMAN IN BOX
  The ghost will emerge from the well...  You have fought this ghost before and
should be able to get an easy win.  Just keep aiming and wait for the Shutter
Moment.  When the ghost charges you, you should have plenty of time to hit it
with a Zero Shot.
**********
  After the battle a SPIRIT ORB will be left behind, near the well.  Now is a
good time to SAVE THE GAME!  Then head upstairs and use the Hammer Key to
unlock the door.

--KUROSAWA, 1F GROUNDS
  As you leave the mansion your flashlight will begin working again.  What a
relief!  Whenever you return here, however, it will go out again.  Now head
through the village and make your way to the Osaka House.  You encounter
several vanishing ghosts on the way.  [NOTE: As you pass by the Whisper Bridge,
you may have random battles with Sunken Woman; these battles are not
guaranteed.]

--VILLAGE, KIRYU-TACHIBANA
  A vanishing ghost appears as you proceed through the town.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: CORRIDOR WOMAN (~1100)
  As you climb the steps, this ghost will appear in the breezeway between the
2nd floors of the Kiryu and Tachibana houses.  When the ghost appears your
filament won't react, but you will see a static haze blurring the screen.  The
breezeway is directly over the stairs, so don't try to aim from there or all
you will be able to see is the underside of the corridor.  When the ghost
appears, don't stop running until you get to the wall ahead of you; then, very
quickly turn and aim upward at the breezeway.  The ghost will be almost all the
way across, but you should still see a Lock Circle.  Use this to guide your
shot, because your Capture Circle will NOT turn blue.  You'll know if your shot
was successful if the ghost's name appears below the picture (as usual).  If
you missed, then don't worry; unlike every other vanishing ghost in the game
there is another and easier chance to capture this ghost a little later on.
**********
  Continue along the path.

--VILLAGE, OSAKA-TACHIBANA
  As you round the corner to head E along the road another vanishing ghost
appears.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: LURED WOMAN (~200)
  The ghost appears on the road as you emerge from between the Kiryu and
Tachibana houses.  It's to the E, and a good distance ahead of you.  Simply
switch to the Finder and shoot when you hear the heartbeat and chimes; even
though the ghost is pretty far away, you should be able to get a good shot
easily.
**********
  After capturing this ghost, keep heading E.  Another ghost appearance is
about to occur.

--VILLAGE, OSAKA HOUSE FRONT
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: STOREHOUSE BOUND (~200)
  The ghost appears as you approach the branch leading off to the S.  It's a
very straightforward capture; just switch to the Finder when the ghost appears.
 It will be directly ahead of you.
**********
  Don't make for the Osaka House just yet.  Instead, keep going E to the
Storehouse at the end of the road.

--VILLAGE, TSUCHIHARA FRONT
  As soon as you enter this area yet another ghost image will appear.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: WEEPING WOMAN (~200)
  This ghost is standing at the door to the Storehouse.  She will appear as
soon as you enter the area, and she lingers for a few seconds.  Capturing her
should be easy.
**********
  After the ghost disappears an item will be left behind near the save lantern.
 Pick it up and you'll get the BUTTERFLY DIARY 4 and FLOURITE 2.  Before you
continue through the small gate to the back of the Storehouse, you can find a
couple of Vanishing Ghosts in the Osaka House.  One of these ghosts, Man Facing
Wall, won't appear if you go to the back of the Storehouse first.  To find the
first ghost, go to Osaka house and through the Entrance to the Sunken Fireplace
Room.

--OSAKA, 1F SUNKEN FIREPLACE ROOM
  If you have completed the game and obtained the Sense Function, a Vanishing
Ghost will appear.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: PULLED SHADOW (~1800) [Sense Function required.]
  This ghost won't appear if it's your first time through the game.  To trigger
it, walk slowly towards the hallway across from the Entrance.  As you approach,
the ghost will appear.  It's lying prone on the floor, protruding a little from
the small closet that's a few steps into the hallway.  You'll have to aim down
a little bit to get the ghost in your sights, then take a shot when the Capture
Circle glows blue!
**********
  There are no new items here.  Proceed to the Family Altar Room.

--OSAKA, 1F FAMILY ALTAR ROOM
  The ghost appears as soon as you enter here.
**********
!!-Vanishing Ghost: MAN FACING WALL (~850)
  The folklorist appears in this room only if you haven't yet talked to Itsuki
in the Storehouse.  He'll be standing right next to you, just switch to the
Finder and shoot!
**********
  There IS a secret door in here, but you won't be abl
