Combination lock
When you are trying to find the San Felipe (the ship to get to Kyushu), close to the end of the level after you figured out the first combination of “345”, there is a even more difficult puzzle. Get the lubricating oil by using Roberto on the door to lower the bridge. The next combination can be frustrating; the combination is “526”. Shortly afterwards, there will be another battle with Sakon.
Defeating Fortinbras
The first form of Fortinbras is very easy to defeat if you follow this strategy of using the Oni command constantly. It requires about half your Oni bar. Immediately after you do it, use an Oni potion. Repeat this until he is dead. For the next Boss battle, do not use any health or overdrive potions. The next Boss can be very difficult. You will need all the health and overdrive potions you can get for it. Oni potions are useless in this battle. Also, do not equip Soki with items that two people must equip to work, as he will be alone in this battle. Give Soki items that replenish his magic, such as the Rosary Of Magic, Lucky Charm, Acolyte Ring, Tao Ring, etc. with any thing that will increase Oni power.
See Roberto’s head
When Roberto is in your party and Lazuline Hall is your Hideout (Stage 7 onwards), position Soki in front of Roberto. Then, rotate the camera so that it faces Roberto’s back. Due to Roberto’s position, the camera will zoom into his head, and you can see through his hat. There is a head in it, and it follows the direction of your camera movements.
