ONIMUSHA: DAWN OF DREAMS TIPS & TRICKS
How to beat Fortinbras
The first form of Fortinbras can be exceptionally easy if you follow this strategy of using the Oni command constantly. It requires about half your Oni bar. Just as 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 extremely 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.
Combination lock
Use the following trick in the level where 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". Very soon afterwards, there will be another battle with Sakon.
