- Overcomeing True Orochi
Use the same method on the True Orochi as you did with the normal Orochi. However, his gold armor gives him higher defense, but he does not attack as much. When he does attack, it does a lot of damage. Use the same method you used with the normal Orochi to defeat him.

- Secret Rain brush technique
Overcome Ninetails, then go to the queen's temple. Use the water on the ground to draw a line connecting the pillars together.

- Secret Thunder Shower brush technique
After obtaining the Thunderstorm brush technique, draw a thunder-bolt symbol (resembles a four-jagged zig-zag line), and a group of thunderbolts will fall onto enemies.

- Completion bonuses
Successfully complete the game and save when promted after the credits. Then, load the cleared game file to begin a new game with 999,999 yen, all previous stats, and weapons, except the fifth of each type. The Peace Bell, Lucky Cat, Wood Mat, and Ink Pot are the only Holy Artifacts that will transfer over. Brush techniques do not transfer over. Additionally, there will be an option in green that reads 'Presents From Issun' at the title screen. You can listen to Okami music, view Okami art, and watch video clips.

- Overcomeing Orochi
Orochi will be protected by a barrier. Your attacks will not do any damage to Orochi. You should be able to dodge the slow moving flames on the fire head. Later, use the Waterspout Brush to pour the sake into the Orochi's mouth. Do this twice and one of the Orochi heads will get drunk. Walk onto the Orochi's neck and get to the bell. Attack the bell until the bell's health gauge reaches zero. The barrier will shatter and you must get the all the Orochi heads drunk. Do the poison and darkness head last. You will now be able to attack the heads when they are drunk with your weapon (preferably the Beads of Life) and brushes. Continue this until Orochi is defeated. At the end of the fight, Susano will appear. Use the Power Slash Brush wherever the kanji (Japanese symbol) is, and the Orochi will be defeated.

- Street Fighter reference
In Kamiki Village after you help Ms. Orange with her pole, she will invite you to eat Cherry Cakes at her house, but only at night. Her house is the one with a giant orange on top of it. Go there and talk with her. She will perform a Shun Goku Satsu in order to make and bake the cakes. Shun Goku Satsu is a move from Akuma/Gouki, from the Street Fighter series.

- Secret Snowflake brush technique
After obtaining the Blizzard brush technique, you will also unlock a secret brush technique. This technique simply requires drawling an asterisk (just an 'X' with either a horizontal line intersecting the middle or a vertical -- not both). A snowflake of ice (size depending on the asterisk drawn) will appear with icicles falling around it. Using this on townsfolk will temporarily turn them into snowmen.

- Devout Beads
At Agata Forest, go to the area next to the cave (where the psychic is located). On your left should be a narrow strip of land which leads to a cave. At the end will be a tree. Use the Bloom Brush. Once the tree has bloomed, there will be a treasure chest. Open it and you will get the Devout Beads.

- Stray Beads
The following is a list of where to find the Stray Beads:


- Overcomeing Nechku
Since Shiranui is on your side for this battle, it should be over quickly. When Nechku begins shooting dark fruit, use Power Slash to fire them back at Nechku. He will begin to malfunction. Knock him out with a Power Slash. You and Shiranui will then attack Nechku, using brush techniques for support. Nechku will sometimes shoot out ice. You can avoid this by dodging them.

- Overcomeing Ninetails
Ninetails may attack by ramming into you, whipping you with his tails, summoning foxfire, or squirting out pools of acid. Your brush techniques will not usually work on him either, because he has the power of a brush god as well. He will cross out all your attacks, or make a weapon out of your drawing. For example, if you draw a circle, he might cross it out or turn it into a cherry bomb. When he raises his Nine Strike, draw a thunderbolt to the sword. He will turn into nine Maidens. Overcome some of them. It might be wise to use some Exorcism Slips. He will lose more tails the more enemies you defeat. Sooner or later he will turn into a normal one-tailed fox. You can use brush techniques and any attack on him. He will also lose his brush techniques.

- Kimono design
After you defeat Blight, the cursed zone will clear. At the Sei-an exit, turn left. There will be a building next to a locked building. Go inside of the building. You will be inside of a kimono shop. Go to the room next to the cashier, and there will be a man who is a kimono designer. Talk to him, and he will ask for a new design. Draw whatever desired on the kimono. After you do this, the villagers will all have the design you drew on it. The walls will also have the same design.

- Secret brush technique
Draw a lightning bolt sign with the brush. This should unleash a rain of electricity. However, you cannot use the brush on the lightning to use other powers.


Draw a 'Z' with the brush. The 'Z' must be all inline. This should create a small sun which will burn the enemies. Draw two vertical lines down. This should make it begin to rain. This is useful when you need to fill empty ponds, etc.

- Turning Oki people into wolves
Draw a circle around any Oki townsfolk to transform him or her into a wolf. Draw a circle around the townsfolk again to change them back into a human.

- Blade of Kusanagi
Overcome Ninetails to get the Blade of Kusanagi.

- Trinity Mirror
You can buy the Trinity Mirror from the merchant in Kamiki Village (100 Years in the Past).

- Thunder Edge
Overcome True Orochi to get the Thunder Edge.

- Hidden Shiranui statue
At the entrance to Kamui (in the area where Oki's house is located), go into the middle section of the area. You should see a snow covered rock. Power slash it a few times, and a statue of Shiranui will appear, similar to the one in Kamiki Village at the beginning of the game, except with the Solar Flare divine instrument.

- Seven Strike
You can buy Seven Strike once you reach Sei-an City.

- Overcomeing True Yami
First, you will not have enough power to use melee attacks and brush techniques. When you get enough ink, draw the sun to weaken True Yami. The controller will fall out of its hand. You will have a chance to attack him. Use the Solar Flare, Thunder Edge, and Tundra Beads. Brush techniques will work well, but should be used sparingly. True Yami has very powerful, almost one-hit K.O. attacks. He will begin a tornado, that once you are trapped in it, has no escape and will eventually kill you. Use the Gale Storm Brush to blow away the tornado, but True Yami will sometimes take away the sun so that the tornado will pursue you without you being able to use the Gale Storm Brush to blow away the tornado. Just run if this happens, and wait until you are able to draw a sun and attack the controller. True Yami may also throw balls of lightning. Dodge them. A barrage of just a few will kill you. He may also bring down a rain of fireballs that could kill you. If you manage to get hit by one, you will burn up and slowly lose health. Use another Gale Storm Brush to put the fire out. If he uses ice, it will do a lot of damage and freeze you. His most powerful attack is his great laser attack. Get your camera to where you can see a full view and avoid it. When the controller is visible inside the giant hand, you can attack it easily. Use a lot of health items and just attack the controller when it is visible to defeat True Yami.

- Exorcism Beads
Overcome Blight to get the Exorcism Beads.

- Watchtiful Joe reference
When Onigiri Sensei goes into 'Training mode', he will go into a pose that is similar to that of a pose from Watchtiful Joe.

- Changing ice statues
When you enter Kamui, go to the right of the Guardian Sapling. You will find the Kokari boy and his dog Ume. To the right of them is the third dojo. There is a big pile of snow close to it. If you power slash it enough times, an ice statue of Issun x1000 will appear. Destroy it with Inferno, and go in the dojo then go back out. The pile of snow will reappear. If you power slash it again, a statue of Sakuya will appear. Keep repeating this process for a new statue every time.

- Tundra Beads
You can buy the Tundra Beads from the merchant on the Ark of Yamato.

- Finding Inabi
The animal lover at Ryoshima Coast complains that he has lost his pet named Inabi. Inabi is at North Ryoshima coast or on one of the islands near North Ryoshima Coast underground. Inabi is the black and white rabbit that is with all the other hares. Notice: Inabi is Capcom's madscot.

- Mythology references
- Eighth Wonder
You can buy the Eighth Wonder from the merchant in Ponc'tan.

- Overcomeing Lechku and Nechku
When fighting Lechku and Nechku, you will have Oki on your side. Lechku will do about the same thing as Nechku; shoot dark fruit and ice. Overcome Nechku using the same technique used last time. Lechku, however, can freeze time, allowing Nechku to attack. Use a Power Slash to stop Nechku. Lechku will also wield a Nine Strike like Ninetails used. Draw a thunderbolt to it. When they malfunction, uses Oki's ice bow, bite him, pull, then fire. You and Oki will attack him. Continue this to defeat Lechku and Nechku.

- Overcomeing Blight
Blight has a very difficult defense. It will take awhile to defeat him. He will crouch when he does his speed attack, which is almost impossible to dodge. Use the Veil of Mist Brush to slow it down. Blight will lose its color. Attack it when he is in this state. He will become a pile of armor with a glowing blue sword. Equip the Tsumugari and use a Veil of Mist Brush so that you will have more time to attack the sword. Use Excorism Slips and your Tsumugari to attack the sword. Keep doing this to defeat Blight.

- Overcomeing Bandit Spider
Bandit Spider is an optional Boss. To fight Bandit Spider, learn 'Digging Champ' from Onigiri Sensei. Then, go to Ryoshima Coast. Go past the Monk Temple and follow the trail. There is an area with two brown cows and a calf. There will be a rock surface for you to dig at. Dig there, and a hole will appear that has a purple mist coming out of it. Go into it, and you will be able to fight Bandit Spider. Bandit Spider is a lot like Spider Queen, except it attacks more often by throwing energy balls. Draw three lines to his spinnerets, then attack the lamps. Also, when it begins spitting out a metal sac (with a fuse on it), draw a line form the fire to the 'bomb' and you can attack the lamps again using the same method. Continue doing this to defeat Bandit Spider.


You can fight Bandit Spider again once you reach North Ryoshima Coast. Ride the Orca to one of the islands and you will see a rock surface. This requires the technique 'Digging Champ'. Dig there and you will fall into a hole. If you defeat him, you will get a Sun Fragment.

- Beads of Life
Overcome Crimson Helm to get the Beads of Life.

- Overcomeing Crimson Helm
Avoid his attacks. Remember, he uses fire based attacks. If you get burnt, used the Gale Storm Brush. When he begins to stand up and burst into flames, begin to attack him using your Devout Beads. He will reveal himself as a flaming skeleton. Use the Gale Storm Brush to put out the fire, then he will be just a normal skeleton. When in this state, attack him using your Devout Beads. Continue doing this to defeat Crimson Helm.

- Overcomeing Yami
You will not have your brush techniques at first. Just continue to attack Yami. Watch out for his saw blade attack. He will also smash holes in the ground. Watch out for them until you get the Rejuvenation brush. You can now fill in the holes. Eventually you will get the Power Slash brush. You can use your weapon (preferably the Tundra Beads, Thunder Edge, or Solar Flare) and Power Slash. When Yami lets his guard down, attack him. You will soon get the Bloom brush. Just use Bloom on him to reveal his controller, and attack it. Continue this to defeat Yami.


Yami's second form is a ball that burst into flames and chases you around at first. When Yami is not a fireball, attack him. To hit it easier, place a Rosary weapon as your sub weapon with a Reflector as your main weapon. You will obtain the Cherry Bomb Brush. Draw a cherry bomb to blow Yami into pieces, and attack the controller. Later, you will get the Waterspout Brush. Use this to draw water from the fountain to Yami when it is on fire. Later you will get the Crescent Brush, which you can use to summon Susano and slice Yami in half. Then, you can attack the controller.


Yami's third form is like a slot machine. Basically, use a Power Slash to stop the machine and it will either shoot out cursed fruits, fireballs, ice blocks, thunderbolts, solar energy, ink, and the controller. The middle slot will be the most powerful. If the middle slot is fire, it will shoot out fireballs that are nearly impossible to dodge. Use the Gale Storm Brush that you will get later to put out the fire. If it is ice, it will shoot out ice that will make a frozen path on the ground. If you touch it, you will freeze and lose health. Later, you will get the Inferno Brush back so you can melt it. If it is lightning, there is nothing you can do but run. Do the same if it is cursed fruit, as it will put you in an erupting cursed zone that could kill you in a short period of time. Later, when you get the Veil of Mist Brush, you can use Power Slash to make it land on any slot and get health from the phantom. Continue this to defeat it.


Yami's fourth form is similar to a ball with arms and legs. Yami can shoot missiles like its first form could, but they are a lot more accurate this time. Sometimes he will float in mid-air and pursue you while exploding. When his controller pops out of the ball, you can attack him. Sometimes he will lay on one side, making it easier for you to attack the controller. You will only have three more brushes to get: Catwalk, Thunderstorm, and Blizzard. When you get Catwalk back, there will be some platforms that you can walk up using the Catwalk Brush. There will be some treasure for you that may help you during battle, although once you use the Catwalk Brush on all three of the platforms, you will not be able to use them again. Soon you will get the Thunderstorm Brush. Yami will sometimes transform his arms into Nine Strike swords, so you can shock him. You can then defeat him easier. You will get the last brush, then you will defeat Yami later.


During your fight with Yami, you normally draw a sun in order to battle. However, if you draw a moon crescent instead, Nagi/Susano will fly from the heavens to deliver a falling blow to Yami.

- Overcomeing Spider Queen
First, just dodge her attacks. Try to keep a far distance from her. Later, she will begin spinning a web ready to do a belly flop, or begins to spit webs from a gray sack. Use the Power Slash Brush on the web she spins or the gray sack and she will fall down. She will have some hooks at the tip of her spinnerets. Use the blossoms around the stadium to do the Vine Brush and connect two vines to the end of the hooks. Her thorax will open up and eyeballs will appear. Use your Devout Beads to attack the eyeballs.
