| [- Difficulty: Easy/Medium -] |
| [- Weapon of Choice: Hyosai (ball and chain) -] |
| [- Location: Honnoji Temple, Japan -] |
=====================================================
Armor should be maxed as well as one of your weapons, hopefully the Hyosai. Nobunaga
time now and he is pretty light on his feet, he strafes pretty fast when you go to hit
him, usually when his sword glows red and black it's a good time to use the Oni Fly to
dodge this attack and set up for an attack combo. Now if you have Jacques' Ultimate
Whip from the final Phantom Realm you can make short work of Nobunaga by attacking him
with the Triangle button, 5-6 lashes should do the trick - see there obtaining the
Ultimate Whip just for 1 battle can be worth it. And then the reason why I am giving
this a medium difficulty is because, if you don't have the Ultimate Whip, it may take
awhile to actually hit him, so use all your weapons in this one and use up all the
magic it can handle. I found the ice magic from this Hyosai and the fire magic from
Enja a bit more useful. The Hyosai is still a bit slower but can be very effective.
The Enja would probably cover more ground quicker, as well as the Raisen will be
perfect, just a tad hard to get some magic attacks in on him. You can block his normal
sword swipes and deflect his fireballs, but try not to get so close sometimes cause
he'll grab you and have his way with you. So mostly the best opportunity to strike is
after his attacks, the strafe the attack technique should work well after a normal
swords swing. And again when his sword glows red and black use the Oni Fly to get out
of the way and start attacking him from behind. Keep this technique up for awhile as
well as healing when you can. Luckily this is your last battle with Jacques so you
don't have to worry bout using up all your herbs, medicines, med kits, and secret meds
up. And if push comes to shove and you still have your wooden statue talisman, it can
revive you when your health runs out. So give him hell with Jacques, pretty soon
Nobunaga will succumb to your blows.

I don't know if maxing out one of your weapons or armor will be helpful here but if
you have the resources to do so, then go ahead - hopefully by now you have already
done so. Well it's Samanosuke's turn at Nobunaga and well, by the circumstances,
Samanosuke is pretty pissed. And wow being in true Onimusha mode is so friggin sweet.
The battle is pretty easy just charge at him and slash away, you're invinsible and
can't be touched so his swings will automatically be blocked, keep hacking away and
this battle shall end soon.

| [- Difficulty: Medium/Hard -] |
| [- Weapon of Choice: Onimusha Sword -] |
| [- Location: Demon Realm -] |
=====================================================
Wow, this is just so awesome to see, Nobunaga in his demon form is just graphically
impressive and at first very intimidating, but what do you care right - you are in
true Onimusha form. This battle has about 3 stages to it so well start off with the
first stage of course:
[First Stage]: Demon Nobunaga will be levitating with 4 pods surrounding him that
attack as his ranged weapons and defense. You'll also need to watch out for the pods 2
attacks and Demon Nobunaga's attack as well. The pods attack consists of white flame
burst shots, easy to strafe quickly out of the way from or block, I suggest you strafe
around them and then when the pods are closer together in the air 4 point laser blast,
try to find a good opening to strafe into to miss being hit, course you should be
pretty distant from Nobunaga at that point. If you are close to Demon Nobunaga as well
he'll land on the ground and lift up his sword and swat you, I suggest you just back
way quickly cause it's really hard to block and strafe out of the way of this. Now
it's time to attack, after the pods have done their attacks such as the white flame
burst shots move in and start slashing at Nobunaga, the pods will quickly form and
defend him there, bout 4-5 slashes and go to absorb the white souls that came from
them. You'll notice that the 5 slots where your Onimusha meter will be starting to
fill up. You'll need to repeat the process of dodging the pods 2 attacks and after
every attack move in quickly to slash at the pods and quickly absorb the white souls.
And remember when Nobunaga lands and lifts his sword up don't be near him, after he
slams the ground with the sword move in to slash at the pods again. When the 5 slots
are filled up you'll notice your Onimusha Sword glow white, this is the time to slash
at the pods again to blow them up. Once they are blown up try to get some more hits on
at Demon Nobunaga and he'll summon 4 more pods again. Repeat this process of attacking
the pods and collecting the white souls to fill up the meter again to blow up the pods
once more, then Nobunaga will finally decide enough is enough and fight you face up.
Heal if needed but try not to be damaged by the pods or Nobunaga's sword slam - they
should be pretty easy to avoid in order to conserve heals.
[Second Stage]: No more pods just you and him now, you'll have to use the strafe
attacking combo method in this situation again, when you see him ready for a sword
slash get out of the way, I've found it better to strafe behind him and continue
slashing away at his backside. Aside from sword swinging, Demon Nobunaga's other
attacks consist of a fire swing which can be avoidable if you stay behind him and
pretty close, tornado slash that is also avoidable by staying behind him and then
running to avoid the funnels, and a lightning attack as before you'll see the yellow
dots on the ground where they will strike, just don't be around them. Continue to
dodge his attacks and keep slashing away at his sides and backside. About 1-2 times
he'll fall down to his knee and rest up a bit, just keep slashing away at him or at
this time charge up your Onimusha Sword 2-3 times to deliver a harder blow. Could also
use the Triangle attack as you see fit as well to deliver harder single blows. Keep
repeating this and heal up when needed and the next time he falls to his knees he
should drop the sword into the ground. At this time use your soul absorption to suck
out all the white and red souls emitting from this sword, keeping sucking it up until
you gain possession of his sword. This will bring us to Nobunaga's final stage.
[Third Stage]: Wow now he is pissed, kick ass graphics still Capcom! At this point his
attacks are pretty hard to avoid, blocking his charge and fire blast attacks won't
work much so hopefully you'll have some heals left over, Secret Meds and medicines
should work great. Once again try to get behind or just close to Demon Nobunaga to
keep slashing away at him, also charging up this sword 3 times by holding down the
Square button hard till you see 3 pulses should do it. And then deliver a hard blow to
him. You can also press the Triangle button to deliver even harder single blows to him
to bring him down faster I just found it funny to play with him charging up the sword
and hitting him with a combo to keep bringing him to his knees. When you decide he has
had enough keep tapping the Triangle button to deliver the hard and final swings at
him, pretty soon he should fall to the ground completely and you have succeeded.
The battle can take awhile and you might need a lot of heals to keep you in there and
hopefully you have a wooden statue talisman to keep you in there for longer. When you
get use to the method of this battle it will become pretty simple and a kick ass
conclusion to a final battle.
Congratulations! You've just beat Onimusha 3 and concluded the series known as
Onimusha! It's all over....or is it? At least for the Onimusha series it is.
