Infinite Mashogane
After winning the battle on the beach against the minor Boss that
resembles a giant crab and you can move onward to the next area, save
the game, but do not proceed ahead. Instead, backtrack to the beach and
defeat the enemies modified with the Mashogane. They will not stop
respawning, and will provide an unlimited amount of Mashogane to boost
your weapons attacks to their maximum at this point. Kill off a good
number of them, then when a large number of enemies are present, use
your Kamui to take them out. This may also give you a healing item such
as a Miracle Pill or Tengu Herb. Note: Retreat back to the save
point whenever your health gets low. Do not use your healing items as
you will need them for the Boss fight that is just past the save point
near the Soul Gate.
Easy kills
When there are many enemies that are grouped together, use Shizuka
and equip Fleck. Then, run toward the enemies. Press Triangle while
running. Try to hit an enemy with more health than the others. This
attack deals damage but also plants a bomb on the enemy. Hit the enemy
with any other attack to detonate the bomb. The explosion of the bomb
does not hurt you.
When fighting a Juggernaut, use Benkei. Equip Benkei's club and hold
Triangle until his club glows and sparks. Then, release Triangle and
charge into the Juggernaut. Be careful not to press R1 before holding
Triangle.
While in Kamui mode, press Circle if the "Circle" symbol appears
instead of any other attack. This deals more damage. If the "Circle"
symbol does not appear, then choose another button (for example,
Triangle) and press Circle afterwards. This deals more damage.
Quick knock down recovery
When you get knocked down, press X to get up. If timed correctly,
just as you hit the ground, you will jump back up. If you do not time it
correctly, press all buttons a few times to get up more quickly.
Longer jumps
To perform longer jumps, use Shizuka and equip Fleck. Run in any
direction and jump. Just before you start falling back down, press
Square and the direction you wish to travel. This attack will make
Shizuka float forward in the air for a brief moment.
