Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Return to Ryunoshin and give him Dung Balls. Note that Noble Dung Balls are worth approximately 5 Dung Balls each.
  2. 2
    You will obtain rewards based on the number of Dungballs given: 1 Dungball grants the gesture [_GESTURE: THANKS_], 15 Dungballs grant a [_SOULSTONE_], and 30 Dungballs grant the [_HORNED TURBAN KABUTO_] and a Trophy.
  3. 3
    Head back up the ladder near the dung lover.
  4. 4
    From the boss room door, go left and around the corner. Ignore the right room and continue to the end, ignoring all rooms on the right.
  5. 5
    Go under the staircase with a samurai at the top and around the next corner.
  6. 6
    Enter the first door on the right and go through to the middle where the crystal is (there's a [_CORPSE_] here). Destroy it to free the men of Kelley's control.
  7. 7
    Loot the nearby rooms: one has a [_CORPSE_] and a bigger room has [_CHEST x2_]. Destroy junk for random items like Elixirs and Arrows.
  8. 8
    Head to the back and go up the stairs.
  9. 9
    In the next hallway, wait for the samurai guarding the large purple crystal to go into the room, then head past him.
  10. 10
    In the next hallway, kill the roaming Skeleton Warrior.
  11. 11
    Continue around this area, passing an open-air area.
  12. 12
    Open the DOOR to the left for a shortcut back to the boss area and loot the nearby [_CORPSE_].
  13. 13
    Head up the next hallway and past the castle area.
  14. 14
    Go left past the open door on the left, breaking boxes for a [_CORPSE_].
  15. 15
    Go past the door again and stop at the corner. Wait for the dual-wielding samurai to go back inside, then go up the stairs.
  16. 16
    Head through the hallway and into the room, grabbing the [_CORPSE_] to the left.
  17. 17
    Barely enter the room with the Dweller and back out to kill the Fiend that comes out, luring it away from the Dweller. Kill them both.
  18. 18
    Enter the room to the left.
  19. 19
    Go through the door to the right of the Nurikabe Wall (there is a [_CORPSE_] and a NURIKABE WALL in this room).
  20. 20
    Go down the ladder for a [_CORPSE_] and the PURPLE CRYSTAL. Destroy it to free all the nearby samurai.
  21. 21
    Loot the area: the nearby door leads to a big room with a [_CORPSE_] and a [_BIG CHEST_].
  22. 22
    Go back to the ladder and open the door. To the left by the stairs (behind some junk) is another [_CORPSE_].
  23. 23
    Head up the ladder and get past the NURIKABE WALL with gestures or combat. Behind it are a [_BIG CHEST_], a small [_CHEST_], and a [_SHRINE_]. Use it to level up and refresh.
  24. 24
    Follow the path and go up the ladder. Do not go into the right door (the boss room) yet.
  25. 25
    Go outside to the left for a [_CORPSE_] and around the corner to find a [_HUNTER KODAMA_].
  26. 26
    Head back to the boss door. If you go down the stairs to the left, you will find a Fiend and a [_CORPSE_] behind the stairs. This area connects to the rooms with the Dweller/Fiend and Nurikabe wall.
  27. 27
    Enter the doors up above to face the boss of this level, Okatsu.

Boss Encounter: Okatsu

Okatsu is possessed and must be defeated to free her. She is extremely agile, moving quickly and launching combos. You can punish her attacks and take advantage of her low Ki, getting in Grapple and Finishing Attacks. Nail down the range of her attacks to bait and punish her. Once she takes damage, she will use her "Gyokuto Buff," extending her attack range and changing her combos. Buff up with Talismans like Sloth for extra damage.

Tips
  • Consider using the [_SHRINE_] before the boss encounter to level up and refresh your abilities.
  • Pay close attention to Okatsu's attack patterns and ranges to effectively punish her.
  • Use Talismans like Sloth to gain an advantage during the boss fight.
  • Destroying the purple crystals frees nearby samurai and allows for easier looting of surrounding areas.
  • Noble Dung Balls are a valuable currency, worth approximately 5 regular Dung Balls.
