Hints:


Character change:
To get the character change you will need to pick up 10 pieces of fluorite.

Oni Spirits mini-game:
If you collect all 20 pieces of fluorite, at the end of the game you will open up a mini-game called Oni Spirits.

Here is a list of all 20 pieces of fluorite:
1) The first piece is in the underground temple, north east of the seiryu.

2) the 2nd piece is after osric(first boss) destroy the pots and it is laying on the ground.

3) In the courtyard area, and next to the staircase their is a chest, holding an herb. The fluorite is on the shelf above the stairs.

4) On the 2nd floor of the courtyard, in the West area, their is a chest holding arrows, destroy the boxes to get another piece of fluorite.

5) Right after you meet Tokichiro, you will enter a room with the seiryu, fluorite and suzaku on your way to the stairs.

6) In the underground section (after you receive the wind orb), you will find a piece of fluorite in the iron maiden.

7) In the room you get the blue key in you will find another piece of fluorite.

8) (Same area) before the door that is locked with the blue key, there is another piece in the corner.

9) In the next section there is 3 pieces. You will have taken control of Kaede at this point. There are 2 pieces in the South west section along the wall in the corners.

10) In the East (middle section) there is another piece in the shelves. (The room with the silver plate in it.)

11) in the room to the north of the sacred knife their is another chunk of fluorite.

12) At this Point I suggest trying the dark realm, their is 3 pieces of fluorite in their, the floors that they are on is random. But by this Point, you should have the vision staff. Making fluorite "sparkle".

15) From the courtyard, go northwest. Then head north until you hit a room with a barrier held by a rope. Cut the rope and grab the rock.

16) On the top floor of the turret, you will find another piece, it should glow if you picked up the vision staff.

17) Next to the waterfall there is a building with two boats, the boat in the water contains a piece of fluorite.

18) You will have control of Kaede once again right from the start you will find a room with an herb and a journal, and against the wall with the herb you'll find another piece.

19) Go north of the mirror on the boat and in the room that you get to you will find another piece against the Southwest corner.

20) In the room to the northwest of the green key,(the room that leads to the decorated arrow) across from the ladder there is another piece.

Oni Spirits Orb locations:
Thunder orb stage 2,
Fire orb stage 4,
and the Wind orb is on stage 7.

New mode:
If you can finish all 12 levels on the mini game Oni Spirits, you will unlock a new mode. Choose this mode to start the game with the following equipment, The Bishamon sword, 99 soul absorbers, infinite normal arrows and infinite matchlock bullets.

For 18-24 points you will receive a B rating. 10-17 points will give you a C rating. And for 0-9 points you will receive a D rating. You are scored on how many demons you killed, how many souls you collected, how many pieces of fluorite you picked up and your play time.

Where to get the Bishamon sword:
To get the very powerful Bishamon sword you must complete the 20 levels of the dark realm. On the 20th floor, you will receive the Bishamon Flute. Upon entering the demon door, the bishamon sword will be in the room next to the mirror (on the East side). When you get to the sword use the bishamon flute and you will receive the Bishamon Sword.
