Swords of Muramasa Rebirth [003] =============================================================================== There are 2 types of swords in the game SHORT SWORD and LONGSWORD. The SHORT SWORD is weak but is extremely fast making the ideal choice on multiple enemies. The LONGSWORD is slow but extremely strong, this good for fighting a couple enemies as well slow ones. All swords have a SPECIAL ATTACK [SECRET ART] which do devastating attacks, these are good if you know which ones to pick. [THE SPECIAL ARTS YOU SEE BELOW ARE KITSUNES] CYCLONE: You spin violently causing anybody caught in the CYCLONE take a huge amount of damage CELESITAL EVE 1-3: An energy pillar comes up from your sword launching an enemy into the air. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE STRONGER ATTACK AS WELL AS THE PILLAT GETTING TALLER.] DUAL BLAZE: You do a 2 hit fire combo which does some fair damage, its goods when using 2-3 hit normal combos. FAERIE BLAZE: 2 Balls of flames rotate around making a shield that if any enemies touch the balls of flames to damage them. ABYSSAL FIRE 1-3: You cast a shadow of yourself which attacks your enemies diagonally with an explosion with each slash [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE TIMES YOUR SHADOW WILL ATTACK WITH MORE DAMAGE] HELL SPINNER 1-3: You spin uncontrollably causing any enemy caught in will take huge damage. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE LONGER YOU WILL SPIN, GO FASTER A ND DO MORE DAMAGE] FOCUS SLASH 1-3: Open up a small vortex that anyone caught in it will take damage [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE LONGER AND MORE DAMAGE IT WILL DO] HOLY ILLUSION 1-3: Like ABYSSAL FIRE you also create a shadow but instead of it attacking diagonally it attacks straight up. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE SHADOWS YOU WILL GET AND MORE DAMAGE YOU WILL DO] SUNDER: You stay still and charge your blade [YOUR INVINCIBLE DURING THIS CHARGE], you then will charge your enemies with a strong attack damaging them a lot. HELLFIRE 1-3: You jump up in the air spinning and when you hit the ground you release balls of fire which damages any enemies hit by it. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE FIREBALLS COME OUT AND DO MORE DAMAGE] DARK CROSS 1-3: It’s a 4 stage combo, you attack left to right then attack up then down [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE DAMAGE YOU DO] EARTH RUNNER 1-3: You swing your blade causing a vibration in the ground making a small ball move towards your enemy. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE BIGGER THE BALL IS, THE MORE DISTANCE IT HAS AND MORE DAMAGE IT DOES] DRAGONFLY 1-3: It’s the air version of HELL SPINNER, it may seem like a good idea at first but unless you constantly fight enemies in the air then its pretty much useless. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE LONGER YOU STAY IN THE AIR AND DO MORE DAMAGE] KAMAITACHI: You jump into the air spinning your blade till you reach the ground causing damage to anyone caught in your way. GAMBLERS CHOICE: Its pretty much SUNDER but only you can do 1 DAMAGE or your current maximum damage you can do. GALE 1-3: Its basically like CYCLONE but the better and stronger version of it. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE LONGER YOU WILL SPIN AND DO MORE DAMAGE] SPECTER BLOW: You put your sword into the air and little orbs come out and track any enemies in the area. INVERTED PILLAR: It’s the better version of CELESTIAL EVE LONELY MOON: This is a QUICK DRAW attack you can use without switching blades and having to wait for it to CHARGE. LUSTROUS MOON: You will throw a circle from your blade which will act as a BOOMERANG and go through anyone to come back to you. METEOR 1-3: Its like CELESTIAL MOON but instead of standing still and making a PILLAR you swing your sword creating multiple PILLARS. [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE THE PILLARS YOU MAKE AND MORE DAMAGE YOU DO] TRIPLE BLAZE: The advanced version of the DUAL BLAZE, you now do 3 attacks. GALE SLASH 1-3: You swing your sword emitting waves of WIND to damage your enemies [THE HIGHER THE LEVEL THE MORE WAVES YOU EMIT AND MORE DAMAGE YOU DO] TEMPEST 1-3: This is the better version of CYCLONE and GALE, this allows you to move while spinning allowing you to hit multiple now. 4 KAMAITACHI: This is the advanced version of KAMAITACHI and have 4 SHADOWS and you spinning in the air till you reach the ground. REVENANT BLOW: This is the advanced version of SPECTER BLOW, it shoots more orbs than its little brother. FAERIE INFERNO: This gives you 4 balls of fire that surrounds instead of 2 and does more damage too. QUAD BLAZE: You now do a 4 hit combo instead of 2 or 3 hit combo, it also does more damage. =============================================================================== IV. Opening Act [004] =============================================================================== Because I don’t know how to make a MAP in a guide and im not sure how its suppose to look, its not going to be exactly what the game is going to look like but I will try my in making it look like it [JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT N/A FOR SOME PARTS DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN THERE ARENT ANY ENEMIES, THEY JUST DIDN’T SHOW UP FOR ME, ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE AN ENEMY IN THAT PART OF MAP DOESN’T MEAN YOU WILL FIGHT THE ONE THERE BUT SOMETHING ELSE] Before you can start the game you have to go through the TUTORIAL, I would recommend this because you learn the basics and all the attacks before moving on. [1] N/A, move onto next part [2] N/A [3] Ninjas, [4] Ninjas, TREASURE: HEALING PELLET [5] Goblins, TREASURE: BAMBOO FLASK [6] Ronin [7] Spirits, HOUSE: BAMBOO FLASK [8] Ninjas [9] Ninjas [10] Ninjas [11] N/A [12] HOUSE: HEALING PELLET, HOUSE: HEALING PELLET [13] Ninjas, Ninjas [14] N/A, SAVE POINT/BOSS BOSS: Before we start let me tell how this works, so the boss has a BIG BAR of HP on the bottom and SMALL BAR above it to the left, when you takeout the BIG BAR you will also takeout ¼ of SMALL BAR, you need to empty the SMALL BAR so the boss cant heal any more, once you do you win and get a DEMON BLADE for your troubles. So the starting BOSS isn’t that hard but unless you figure the moves and what to do you might have problems, lucky for you I’m here, I’ll tell you each attack and how to avoid or counter it. [1] NINJA STAR LOW/HIGH: Depending if you are attacking up high or down low he will throw a big ninja star at you which will do a boomerang effect and come back to him, this is really easy to dodge, just remember to avoid. [2] ARMS IN AIR: When he does this he will twirl his ninja stars into the air preventing you from attacks up high so attack low and wait for him to put down his arms to attack him high again [3] SLASH: If he starts taking too much damage up high or down low, he will slash you really fast which you can dodge if your fast enough but most likely you will get hit. [4] FANNING: When he does this, he will start spinning his stars to the ground towards you trying to catch you in it, if he does your pretty much screwed because you cant get out of it and will take a lot of damage, the best way to avoid this is by jumping over him or using a SECRET ART to either get the other side or COUNTER him with it. After you takeout 1 or 2 bars of health he will start glowing with a RED/PURPLE AURA around him, making him faster and stronger. =============================================================================== V.

Basically this is the easiest boss you’re going to fight the entire game, there are 3 CENTIPEDES to which by themselves are slow and really long, if you get to close to one of them they will try and charge at you to hurt you, all you have to do is constantly attack them till they break apart to which you will have more CENTIPEDES to deal with but this means you’re making progress, the smaller they get the faster they will move so you have to time your attacks to hit them when this happens. =============================================================================== VI.

[2] ARROW HIGH/LOW: When she gallops away she will fire either high or low arrows off screen depending on if you are in the air or on the ground, its not recommended blocking as it will break your sword [3] ARROW VOLLEY: When you are underneath her as well she will shoot arrows in to the air to which they will fall down and hit you, either time the roll when the arrows fall or just move out of range [4] ARC VOLLEY: If you are rushing towards her, instead of shooting one arrow she will shoot a CRESCENT VOLLEY at you to which you just roll to evade it.

[Basically you want to knock her down so you can get in some free hits, when this happens you want to make sure this counts as it can be hassle to hit her later] =============================================================================== VIII.

[2] CLONES: He summons either 2-3 clones of himself, the clones will fade away if you take too long to destroy them or will disappear if you find the real one. [3] ATTACK: Just a normal attack when you get close together [4] LIGHTNING BOLTS: He summon lightning bolts to strike you down He is fairly easy in the 1st form, you shouldn’t have a problem, the only thing you should worry about is the LIGHTNING BOLTS ======== 2nd FORM ======== [1] CONSTANT LIGHTNING: Here there will be infinite lightning bolts, this can be very annoying, there is no way to dodge this as it will happen at anytime [2] PORTALS: He will constantly make portals, they will not attack you but if you get too close people will come out to attack you. [3] SHOCK: If you constantly attack him he will shock himself to hurt you [4] BARRAGE: He will spit out a constant stream of FANGS, this is just like SPIDER WEB attack, except you can actually escape but if you don’t then you will be in world of hurt. This form is the most annoying BOSS in the game, he constantly uses LIGHTNING STRIKES to hurt you as well as PORTALS to prevent you from attacking high and low. You can only attack the HEAD and the MID-SECTION of him, he will constantly use BOLTS and SHOCK to get you off him. =============================================================================== XII.

XIII. My Opinion/Review							[013]
===============================================================================

I must say first that this is a must have game for the VITA, this is visually
stunning and easy to get the hang of, the difficulty is just right for
everyone, the gameplay could of been better but is good for what it is, also 
the amount of content you get for this price fairly good.
