I've been writing for quite a long time (actually three months...) and I've collected a lot of experience and I've used different kind of formats to select my style (witch is going to be set-up with this guide). I consider that with this guide I'm starting to become "GheddonLN" and not a mix of other authors. Anyway, let's talk Shenmue. Shenmue, a game created by Sega, is one of the best things you'll come across in the Dreamcast, but is easily superated by games such as Skies of Arcadia in terms of gameplay. But is great anyway. Shenmue is what you would call "F.R.E.E" game, or "FULL REACTIVE EYES ENTERTAINMENT". Is sure an in depth games, and is something you may want to buy if you have a Dreamcast. This game has tremendous graphics, as well as controls, music, but sadly, there is something just "wrong" with the gameplay. Even though is really addicting game, sometimes, the "go-around-and-ask" people can be tedious or boring. But at later parts you'll find yourself so immersed in the game you won't pay attention to anything else. Basically, is a great game that will make you play for hours, and is an experience you must live. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SHENMUE FOR DUMMIES =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CONTROLS (WHILE ON FOOT SCHEME) ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ============================================================================== D-PAD CONTROL SCHEME | D-PAD FUNCTIONS ============================================================================== | _ Analog Thumb| | Up (_)__________ | | ____ | | Right | | | ________ | Up...............................Move Ryu up | U | | Down...............Have Ryu make a 180ş turn | Left ---L R---- | Left........................Make a step left | _____| D Down | Right......................Make a step right | |_________ | Analog thumb..........Movement of the camera | | ============================================================================== ============================================================================== BASIC BUTTONS SCHEME | BASIC BUTTONS FUCTIONS ============================================================================== | Y button | | --------- | | Y | Y button.........Used to open the quest menu | X button X B B button | X button...............Used to open notebook | _________| A |________ | B button...................Cancel selections | | A button | A button.................Examine things/talk | |____________ | | | | | ============================================================================== ============================================================================== OTHER BUTTONS SCHEME | OTHER BUTTONS FUNCTIONS ============================================================================== | __ L trigger R trigger__ | | | |_______ ________| | | L trigger......................Use it to run | | | | | | R trigger........Use it to explore the areas | |__| START |__| | START...................Open the help screen | | ============================================================================== IN-DEPTH CONTROLS ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ D-PAD/.................Used to move Ryu throughout the world of Shenmue.

While there, select a move to set it up, and perform it easily. That way, you won't have to perform those complicated button combinations too often.

STARTING MENU ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ After you press the START button on the main screen, a couple of options will appear. This is called the starting menu, and the options are the ones listed below: START GAME...............When you select this button, you'll start a new game. Starting a new game signifies seeing the intro cinema, and starting from zero. I suppose you already know what new game means, uh?. LOAD GAME................Load game. You already saved once during gameplay. Now, you'll be able to start from that point by selecting this option. Is common sense actually. CONTINUE.................If you select the resume option during gameplay, you'll create a temporary save game that can be loaded by selecting this option. When you do so, you'll lose this save, unless you save again or select this option again. OPTIONS..................Use the d-pad to scroll through the options and the A button to select them. The options are the ones listed below. ____________________________________________________________________________ | ---TEXT AND DIALOGUE RELATED OPTIONS | |____________________________________________________________________________| | With this option, you'll be able to select to see text, no text, and dialogue | | only or no dialogue or just text, etc, etc. See below for more reference. | |____________________________________________________________________________| | CINEMA MODE | This mode is like watching like a movie(hence the name | | | "cinema"). You'll hear all the conversations spoken, with | | | no dialogue, but you won't be able to skip through | | | conversations. | |_______________|____________________________________________________________| | GAME MODE | This is the mode I use because my ear is not so English | | | trained(is rather Spanish trained). This mode lets you hear| | | the dialogue and to read the text. Is the mode you'll use | | | if you're not north American(or if you're north American, too) |_______________|____________________________________________________________| | SHENMUE MODE | This mode is kind-of-complicated. You'll hear only dialogue| | | like in the cinema mode, but, if you press B, you'll shut | | | up the voice actors and read the text. Is kind-of-a-combo | | | between text mode and cinema mode. | |_______________|____________________________________________________________| | TEXT MODE | Don't you REALLY know what this means?. When you select this | | option, you won't hear any voice acting, but you'll only | | | read text. I don't why would you use this, specially if you| | | have game mode(read: "there is nothing written about tastes| | | ---translation of a Latin proverb). | |_______________|____________________________________________________________| | ---SOUND RELATED OPTIONS | |____________________________________________________________________________| | This options let you change between mono and stereo type of sound(no Dolby | | surround, sadly; I don't have Dolby at this moment, though). | |____________________________________________________________________________| | ---AREA JUMP OPTIONS | |____________________________________________________________________________| | When you toggle these options on, the minutes you spend on walking will be | | severely compressed. With this on, when you exit Ryu's house, an option | | menu will appear. Basically, you can choose to go to any place without | | walking. Use this if you want to rush through the game(which is NOT | | recommended by the way). | |____________________________________________________________________________| | ---TOGGLE RUN OPTIONS | |____________________________________________________________________________| | With this options, you'll be able to select weather the L button is to run and | the R button to explore and vice versa. | |____________________________________________________________________________| BASIC EXPLORATION ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Shenmue is a world filled with people who hold interesting information, or sometime un-useful information. To know which people have interesting information, talk with them by pressing A. A single conversation can give you the tip or the information you need to advance through the game. Always talk with people. Also, Shenmue has several items and building spread across its world. Not all of the buildings can be entered, but you should always check them. Also, check the environments by pressing the R button and using the d- pad to move the camera. If there is something you can interact, it'll get locked-on. Press A then to examine that object. GAME PROGRESS ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The way you progress through Shenmue is up to you. Even though you could go and use this walkthrough and start rushing through the game while skipping on dialogues, you could also play calmly, ands talk to people while playing minigames and honing your battle skills in the different areas where you can. You could also talk with everybody you find and learn tips and information about your adventure. Either way you select, you should always go through the way that fits you better. MAGIC WEATHER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The world of Shenmue, being so realistic, has it owns weather and the weather has its owns effect on the game. During Shenmue, you may find yourself in a rainy day where people are not out the streets because they don't want to get wet, unless they are wearing some kind of raincoat. During a sunny day, kids are out the streets, playing soccer and goofing with their friends. During snowy days, you may find kids goofing around too, but other will just be in their houses. So, don't expect to find a certain person during a rainy day. THE CLOCK ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The clock in Shenmue is as important at the general exploration. The clock is also as important as in real life. In Shenmue, people go to work in morning, and return home or go to bars in the night. Also, there are certain places(mainly shops) that open at certain hours only. Also, you can't stay sleeping all day or exploring all night. You wake up at the 8:30 am and you have to sleep at 11:30. This is Shenmue, where time does really matter. THE NOTEBOOK ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The notebook is probably the most useful item you have, as well as the most important. When you talk to a certain person, and they give you valuable information, Ryu will record his information on the notebook. After he records this information, you can access it by pressing X and check what he wrote. The notebook is used mainly to refresh your memory about certain information you may forget or numbers or names you need to use. BATTLES ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are two kinds of battles, free battles, and QTE. Free battles are what the name says, free battles, where you use the d-pad to move Ryu throughout the arena. Use the buttons listed at the battle scheme above(x,y,a,b) to punch, kick, throw, kick ass your enemy until they give up. You also have a stamina meter, which represents your health, and is recovered as you evade attacks, but is also diminished as the enemies kick your ass. You can also press different kind of button combinations and perform certain butt-kicking combos that will make your enemies fly like a piece of paper. The other kind of battle is the QTE, or quick time event. Quick Time Event is a quick even(duuuuuuuh!) which can be accomplished "quickly"(...) by pressing a certain button. Suddenly, a cinema will take place, and a big button will appear on-screen. Mash the button that appears on-screen within the allotted time to perform a certain action(normally a butt-kick). These are very commons. TRAINING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ And you thought that when you learn a move, you could just perform it in any battle you want. Well, you can do so, but is also recommended to train the moves you learn. Go to the parking lot by the bus station in dobuita or to the Hazuki dojo, and you will be able to train. Select a move in the scroll, and perform it until you're confident with it. This not only gives you confidence, but also, the damage of the move you train will be increased. Train frequently. SEARCHING FOR ITEMS ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ In Shenmue, there are a lot of interactive objects you can work with, in order to advance with the history, widen your items menu or just to perform certain mandatory thing. To search, you'll need to use your hands and both the R and the A button. Press the R button, and use the d-pad and move the camera until it suddenly zooms into some things. You'll know you'll be able to interact with it, so, press A and Ryu will do his thing with the item. This is normally the best way to collect items or advance with the history. TALKING WITH PEOPLE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ In this long adventure where the clues people has are the most important things of survival(and are the most valuable informationers), you'll need to talk with a lot of people. To talk with people, get near them and press the A button. Ryu will then converse with the person. They may just say junk, or may give you some useful information, though not necessary. Other people will give you information so damn important, that Ryu will have to write it in his notebook, or else he would forget it(or _you_ would forget it). Either way, always talk with people when you're stuck(or refer to this FAQ). The may save your life. MINIGAMES ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Who would live without videogames, uh?. Unfortunately, for this game, you don't have playstations2 or GameCubes or XBoXes. You have arcadarizated versions of the Genesis(I remember you, good old pal...) such as Hang-On, Space Harrier, and other kind of games such as Darts and QTE related games. All of the minigames available in the game can be played at the YOU ARCADE at Dobuita. They cost some Yen, but are worth it, because they're extremely fun. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- FAQ/WALKTHROUGH =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _____ _____ _____ _ __ ____ _ _ ______ | __ \|_ _| / ____|| |/ / / __ \ | \ | || ____| | | | | | | | (___ | ' / | | | || \| || |__ | | | | | | \___ \ | < | | | || . ` || __| | |__| |_| |_ ____) || . \ | |__| || |\ || |____ |_____/|_____||_____/ |_|\_\ \____/ |_| \_||______| ============================================================================== After you pop on the disk, you'll see an opening cinema which pretty much shows us what we're going to see in this epic adventure. Afterwards, the action begins. ============================================================================== Hazuki's home ------------- After Ryu finally wakes up, you're free to leave the room. Before doing so, however, check Ryu's desk. In the top part of the desk is a cassette. In the drawers, you can snag the cassette player, as well as another cassette and the "photo of friends" which shows Ryu and his friends(duh). Now, go through the door. In the hall outside, Ine-san appears and tells you she'll leave 500 Yen every day waiting for you. You can recollect this money by exiting the house. Before doing so, however, check the Hazuki's place, where you could find some useful ítems or knowing-worthy things. If you enter Iwao's, Ryu's father room, you could get to examine a letter in a desk. It shows that Iwao knew somebody was coming, and gives Ryu some final advice and "tips". Time to move on towards the kitchen. Examine the table with the R button, and you'll see another cinema where Ryu refuses to eat his carrots, but Iwao makes him to do so. This is pretty much everything you could do here. Go out the house. Outside Hazuki's home --------------------- Head towards the far right end of the patio. On your way there, examine the cherry tree, and you'll see a cinema, were Iwao gives a young Ryo some advice regardless the ways of martial arts and similar. Afterwards, go inside the dojo were Fukusan gives Ryo information regardless the man who killed your dad. He says it was a man with dark clothes, a tattoo and named Lan Di. After Fukusan gives you this valuable information, enter again the dojo, and examine both the locked box(brown) to get a note into your notebook, and the scroll in the above of the... eh, um, search for a scroll to see another cinema. Afterwards, head towards the double brown doors and leave you home. Yamanose -------- As you advance down the streets, Ryo will suddenly hear Megumi, who's near a kitten, who nearly got killed by a speedy black car. According to Megumi, the kitty's mom was killed by the same car, which, by the way, almost rammed down Yamagishi San. He lives by the candy store in Sakuragaoka, and it's vital for the adventure to speak with him. During this scene, also, you'll have to select some food for the cat. The best option, is obviously, the dried fish, and it also adds a note to your notebook. After doing all this, continue down the streets towards Sakuragaoka. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ UN-NECESSARY INFORMATION If you return to the Yamanose shrine later, Megumi will then ask for a name for the cat. The names you can select from are: Mimi, Sasuke, Chibi and Tama. If you select Mimi, she'll accept it. If you select Sasuke, she'll say "no" and select Mimi instead. If you select Chibi or Tama, she'll accept a believe. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Sakuragaoka ----------- As you advance further into this district, you'll spot two women standing by a phone booth, which are lively talking. Talk with the one in yellow, and she'll direct you to Sumiyasan, who may know where Yamagishisan lives. Go talk with here, and she doesn't tells you a thing about where Yamagishisan lives. She tells you the same thing Megumi told you. What a waste of time... Head towards the store here in Sakuragaoka, which is where Yamagishisan lives. As soon as you get near the store, an elderly woman appears, and tells you to search for the Yamamoto's house. Inspect each houses' plates with the R button, and when you find it, go and check for he lady, which is in the park. Afterwards, Ryu adds a note to his notebook. Now, let's look for yamagishi, whose house is located on the far end of the park's street. You should find him outside his house. Talk with him, and he says that I car nearly rammed him the day of the "incident" and that it then rushed towards Dobuita. He doesn't knows more, but he says you should go and ask the townsfolk. So, go down the street adjacent of the park, and enter the new District, Dobuita. Dobuita ------- Go to either the Funny Bear Shop, Yokoatsu Product or Uokichi Food, and all of them suggest you to visit Nozomi at Aida Florist, who get here new sweater splashed by mud the other day thanks to a black car. Aida Florist is directly across the funny bear shop, by the tomato convenience store. Talk with Nozomi, and she says that the car was black and pretty, just like a limo. She also says you should go and talk with Tom, who is up the street, because, apparently, he had his words with the men inside the car. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// UN-NECESSARY INFORMATION Go and talk with the Lapis Fortune teller after talking with Nozomi to get an extra-notebook note. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Go and talk with tom, which is this guy with long black hair, white shirt and red trousers. He's also dancing, by a hot dog stand. And don't forget that when you get near him, you'll hear music. Anyway, talk with him. He says he had his words with the men inside the car because they freaked out nearly every purchaser Tom had. So, he wanted to gave them his piece of mind. Tom also says that there was a man with a green coat, which suggests he was Chinese. He also says you should visit the Chinese travel agency across the stand. What are you waiting for? ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// If you go and pay a visit to Yamagishi in the Suzume park here in Dobuita, you'll be able to learn the skill, which is: LEFT + X + A. Perform this technique properly to master it. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ When you arrive at the travel agency, the man inside tells you he doesn't know a thing about the Chinese men you're looking for. Actually, he directs you to the Ajiichi Chinese restaurant, whose owner are 100% Chinese, and may have the information you need. If you don't know where the Ajiichi restaurant is, you could chat with Nozomi at Aida's florist or to the man in the water dragon store, and get its location as well as another entry for your notebook. Ajiichi is across the Hattori Sporting Goods. Inside, talk with the old man, who directs you to the three blades, you are the most appropriate persons to ask for Chinese. The cook at Mampukuken Ramen, Itoi of Mary's Patches and Embroidery and Maeda the barber represents the three blades. These people are 101% Chinese, so they may know more than Tao does. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// If you go through the street adjacent to the Tomato Convenience store, you may end up playing your first QTE. When prompted, press this buttons: LEFT + A+ B to finish down the thugs and show them what you got. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Now, go towards the Mampukuken Ramen(which opens at around 2:00PM, by the way). Inside, talk with Junko Yamamoto, which suggests you to find two men who normally wander around bars late night(a minute after 7:00PM is enough). Talking with this women also grants you a note for your notebook. Now, wait for the night, and haul your ass towards the Bar Yokosuka and talk with the two men inside twice, and they'll spit their guts. They'll direct you to the Liu Barber & Hair Salon, as they may know something. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// At this moment, you may want to go to sleep. After you wake up, wander around until the clock says is about 9:30. Then, go talk with Fuku-san at the dojo to learn a new skill, the which is: LEFT + B. Perform it properly to master it \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Go and talk with the people inside the Liu Barber & Hair Salon. The barber and his wife suggest you to go to the Suzume park, where Liu Senior, the Chinese around here, may be. If you are having trouble getting there, talk with the man inside Bob's Pizzeria, who tells you the location of the Suzume park. Talk with him twice to get another entry for your notebook. Now that you've collected enough information, head towards the Suzume park, and talk with Liu Senior. He suggests that Land Di may be part of a gang, and that gang normally hang around the harbor. Therefore, you should look for sailors, as they're familiar with the harbor. Now, wander around Dobuita and speak with the people around. Nearly everybody tells you that the sailors hang around bars in the night, as they love night parties and disorder. Wait the night to fall, and head towards bar yokosuka. Your friend there directs you towards the MJQ Jazz bar or the Heartbeats bar, as in both you may find Sailors. Head towards the MJQ bar first, and talk with the shop owner, who directs you to the two man playing pool there. They challenge you to a bet. Make the perfect shot, and you'll get your info, but miss it, and you'll have to pay them 1.000, and you'll get no info. With the information or without it, head towards the Heartbeats bar. Talk with the people at the Kurita Military Shop, Tom's hot dogs, Jupitor's Jackets and Linda Bar to learn the exact location of the Heartbeats bar. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// You could go and visit the Lapis Fortune teller, and get this note for your notebook: "He you seek waits on a dark street". \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ As you approach the heartbeats door, two drunken sailors confront you. These guys are not too happy to let you inside, so they challenge you a fight. Press B and A when prompted to make them bleed(literally). Now, you may enter to the bar Ryo... Inside, things are not-too-different, as the thugs around consider Ryo a crybaby, and try to smash him. Press this buttons: B, A, B, A when prompted to show them what you got. The bar owner then directs you to Charlie, and takes you of the bar by force. Time to return home.... Looking for Charlie ------------------- ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// After you wake up, you could go to the Sakuragaoka park in Sakuragaoka(duuuuuuuhh!) and find Nozomi being threatened by two thugs. You'll then challenge them to a free battle. Run around to recharge your stamina and use the punch combo and tornado kick(variation) to beat them easily. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Go towards the Knocking Motorcycle shop. You can easily find it because there are normally two druggie-looking pals, as well as an old man with a motorcycle by him. This "old-man" is Ono, Ryu's friend, and has some information. Talk with him and he directs you to the Jupitor Jackets store. However, don't go there. Instead, head towards Hokuhoku Lunches, to learn about the Nagai Industries. The Nagai industries are a big building with a green door that is by Dobuita's entrance, near the Water Dragon store. Get inside the building(be sure the timer is around 1:00PM) and go up the stairs. Talk with the men inside, and they direct you to Kurita-San, the man at the Kurita Military surplus. Head there then. Talk with Kurita, which is the one with a guerrilla-like uniform as well as a hat. He says that you can normally find him around Jupitor's Jacket at about 7:00PM. Instead of going there for some useless information, swing your feet towards he parking lot around You Arcade. There, five sailors ambush you. You'll need to beat them in a free battle. Once you beat them, you'll get a lot of information as well as an entry for your shiny notebook. Apparently, we need to look for a tattoo parlor... ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// If you visit the Lapis fortuneteller after kicking some sailor ass, she'll add another entry for your notebook. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ After you wake up(after finishing the events above, it should be pretty late), you'll have to look for the tattoo parlor. Our first target is no other that the Nagai Industries, in Dobuita. Talk with the same man who gave you clues about Charlie, and he'll direct you to an apartment in something Heights. Do not head there, though(petty much duh!). Instead, head towards the Hazuki dojo and share words with Fuku, who directs you to the Yokosuka bar. Do not head there either. Haul ass your way towards the You Arcade. If you're lucky enough, you may find the two druggie looking men who normally hang around the Knocking Motorcycle shop. They direct you to Okayama heights. If you want information of where this place may be, talk with Kurita from the Kurita Military Surplus, as well as the manager of Hattori Sporting Goods. Both of them will give you the exact location. So, swing your leg towards there(be sure its at least 2:00PM), and go up the stairs. Press A in front of the door with the nifty drawings, and go inside. The man inside directs you to the coat there. This begins a QTE. Press A to open the coat, and then, immediately press LEFT and then A to deflect Charlie attack. Now, after hearing what the punk has to say, get out the store, and you'll bump into Nozomi, who is worried thanks to your acts. She says you should take care. Did you know she's in love with you?. Nothing-important here, so move on, and return to your house. If night hasn't fallen, wait for it. Then, head towards your house, were Ine gives you a "mysterious letter". From now on, our new quest is translating this letter. Oh, and don't forget you can now train with Fuku at the dojo. Translating the letter ------------------------ As you swing your leg(I love saying that, goddamit!) towards Dobuita, you'll find a grupito of thugs in Sakuragaoka. This guys are not so happy to see your worthless piece of face around, so, they go for the killing, and attack you. You must kick their asses free-battle style. After all of them are in the floor crying, press A in the QTE to finally finish this sequence of events. After all of this ruckus, haul your ass towards Dobuita. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// While in Dobuita, you may want to visit the Wakaba Apartments, where Enoki and his gang attack you. Put a "R" of Ryo in their faces with your dynamical punch and win the free battle. You get nothing, lamentably. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Let's stop from free battles from a while, shall we. Head towards Ajiichi, and speak with Tao sen. Even though he's Chinese, he has the foggiest idea of what the letter says. He then directs you to his deliveryman, Wang, who should be around here. Swing your leg towards Nagai Industries, and find him next to it, trying to get a soda from a soda machine. Buy him one, and he'll gladly look at the letter. He can't translate it(what a waste of Yen...), but he sets up your new objective: visit the Russiya China Shop. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// If you hang around Aida Florist after this events, Nozomi will stop you, and make an announcement(I believe that is the fact that she's going to Canada). According to Prima Guides, you should evade here from now on, because you could miss some events. Better follow their advice, because I don't really know what could happen if you don't evade her... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Talk with the woman at Hokuhoku lunches to learn the Russiya China Shop location. Head towards there(you thought I was going to say "swing your leg!? Mwhahahahahaha!) and enter the shop. Talk with Xia, who discovers the letter trick, and uses a mirror to read it. The letter contains a series of weird collections of words, as well as a phone number(0468-61-5647). The words(phrases) are: Father's heaven, Nine Dragons, Mother's Earth and Comrades. All of these is added to your notebook. Now, go back to the Hazuki's residence, and talk with Fuku, who should be at the dojo(you could also find him inside the house, where he'll have a little chit-chat with you). Fuku says he's seen those words somewhere inside the house(in one of the scrolls spread across it, actually). After the chat with Fuku, get inside your house, and grab the phone. Dial the number written on the letter, and on the other side, a man suddenly says Father's Heavens. Then, you'll have four choices. Quickly select Nine dragons. He then says Mother's earth. Answer comrades. He then says warehouse # 8, and closes the phone. Warehouse # 8? -------------- To get the exact location of the warehouse, ask people around. Talk with Nozomi, and she'll say you should call for the 104. Instead of returning your home, make your way towards You Arcade, and go up the street, towards the tobacco shop. There is a payphone there. Call the 104, and they direct you to Amihama. Now, there is a bus stop by the tobacco shop. Wait a bus to come, and hop into it. You've finished disk one. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Before hoping into the bus, you may want to talk with the bartender at the Bar Yokosuka, who'll give you a note for your notebook \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ _____ _____ _____ _ __ _______ __ __ ____ | __ \|_ _| / ____|| |/ / |__ __|\ \ / // __ \ | | | | | | | (___ | ' / | | \ \ /\ / /| | | | | | | | | | \___ \ | < | | \ \/ \/ / | | | | | |__| |_| |_ ____) || . \ | | \ /\ / | |__| | |_____/|_____||_____/ |_|\_\ |_| \/ \/ \____/ ============================================================================== Ryo has finally leaved his home district. Now, he's venturing into a new world. The new Yokosuka Harbor will be your place from now on. But, you still have to get back to your house and sleep. Sucks. ============================================================================== New Yokosuka Harbor ------------------- As you arrive, go down the street into the warehouse district, where you'll spot a couple of thugs bothering an innocent pedestrian. This starts a QTE. Press LEFT, A, B when prompted to finish this QTE, and obtain new information from Goro. he tells you "enter the harbor and then take a right". But, now, we should talk with the security guard. This guy has blue clothes, a orange coat, glasses, some kind of beret and a big stomach. Talk with him, and he suggests you to look at each warehouse #'s so you can find the one you're looking. What a worthless tip, but anyway, this adds a note to your notebook. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// UN-NECESSARY INFORMATION After you complete the events above, you can do a bit of wandering and see some scenes and talks. Check below to see the nifty things you may miss: THE HOMELESS MAN ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you pass by the warehouse # 13, you'll find Shozo Mizuki, who wants you to buy him a coffee. Search for a vending machine that has coffee, and buy it for him. It is important for you to dos this, specially if you want to learn some skills later in the game. NOZOMI'S DILEMMA ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ After you arrive at home at about 7:00PM, you'll hear the phone ringing. Wait it to ring for about 7 times, and answer it. Nozomi then orders you to meet her in the Sakuragaoka park. Swing your less towards there to learn about her trip and her feelings towards you. FUKU AND FRIENDS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The day after the "Nozomi's dilemma" go to the Bar Yokosuka, where you'll learn that Fuku called a while ago. The scene immediately shifts back to your house, where you'll witness a cinema that includes Ryu's and his buddies, as well as Fuku. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ THE WALKTHROUGH BELOW IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE WALKTHROUGH LISTED BEFORE THE HEADER "UN-NECESSARY INFORMATION" Go look for the warehouse # 8, by looking on the warehouse's #'s. Try to enter through the front door, and the guard then stops you. You must then search for another way to get inside. Go around the entrance, and you'll find a stockpile of crates. Use the analog thumb to lock-on on the open window. Guess what?. Push a crate around here and align it so you can use it to climb towards the window. Then go through it. Walk through the catwalk towards a window, where you'll learn about _another_ warehouse # 8, which should be at the old warehouse district. Swing your feet towards there(it is west from the store). On your way there, you should find Tom, the hot-dogger. Talk with him, and head towards the old warehouse district entrance. Try to enter, but a guard will stop you. Apparently, you'll need to return at night. Now, if you want some information, go towards the lunch's stand, which is directly across Tom's place. Talk with the woman there(Husk) who wants you to look for her sister, Mai, who's hanging with bad companies. Afterwards, head towards Warehouse # 17. Enter an alleyway by it, where you find Mai with here bad friends. Press LEFT, A, LEFT, LEFT, LEFT and the poor girls will receive their punishments. Afterwards, go and check on Hisaka. She'll then give you some food to deliver to the guard of the _old warehouse district_ You'll learn some information too. Now, wait the night to fall and enter the old warehouse district through the gate. You'll have to press LEFT or else you'll have to try again. Old Warehouse District ---------------------- Now that you're inside, is time to get a little Metal Gear Solid-is. You have to evade the guards, or else they'll take you to the district. You can also play Solid Snake and flatten against the crates and wall by pressing the A button and look around the corner. Cool!. Wait the first guard to look anywhere(just make sure he's not looking at you, and advance towards the bottom right part. Wait the second guard to walk away, and take a left. Move on until you get to a branch. Take a right, and there it is, warehouse # 8. Enter it. Old warehouse # 8 ----------------- The warehouse is empty. It took me a long time to figure this part out(didn't had the prima guide handy) and my friends(who were around) didn't help too much. Suddenly, I picked up one of the plates in the shelves by the door, and Master Cheng, as well as his son, Gui Zhang(probably my fave character). Then, we'll witness a chitchat between the three, where we hear a lot of information regardless the phoenix mirror(which is in Ryo's houses, by the way) as well as Lan-Di. The phoenix Mirror ------------------ Head back to your house. On your way there, Gui Zhang badass appears, and suddenly, challenges you to a free battle. Prepare to fight. This guy is extremely tough, and can put quite a fight, but don't give up. You can beat him, and he can't beat you. Once you finish him off, continue your way towards your house. After you arrive in your house, talk with Ine inside the house, which directs you to Fuku. Talk with him, and he tells you to talk with Ine. On your way there, he'll stop you and send you to the Antique shop at Dobuita. So, swing your leg towards there. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// On your way towards Dobuita, stop in the shrine where the kitten is to trigger a cutscene with Nozomi). \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ We must now find the antique shop. Go towards Hokuhoku lunches, and enter the shop on the right. Talk with the shop owner, who immediately recognizes you as Iwao's son, and gives you an strange item, which is called the sword handguard. Afterwards, travel back to the Hazuki Residence. Talk with Fuku, who directs you to Ine. Talk with her, and she tells you the origin of the sword handguard. You'll learn that it represents the Hazuki family crest. Now, go to the dojo, and hang around it for about 2 hours and a half(or even three hours) and examine the wooden box. You'll then get a message telling you to look for a key. Go to Iwao's room, and grab the key there, which adds a note to your notebook. Now, head towards the wooden box, and open it. Inside, you'll find a sword. Afterwards, remove the left wall scroll on the dojo, and place the sword handguard on it. Then, remove the right scroll, and slide the sword into the slot. A hidden door then opens. Before going so, swing your leg towards the tomato convenience store and buy a flashlight, some batteries, and a light bulb. Hazuki's residence basement --------------------------- Go down the ladder and enter the hidden basement. This place is extremely dark, so use your flashlight to light up this place, and walk towards an open room. Look for a "slot" where you can put your light bulb. Then, flip the switch and voila, you made the light. The basement has all kind of "examinable" objects, and some of them can be even picked up. Look for a Iwao picture above the red chest, and grab the move scroll in the shelf nearby. Then look for a shelves directly across the red chest. Slide it, and you'll reveal and odd colored portion of the wall, which looks extremely breakable. Now, look for the axe in the "hall" by the ladder, and pick it up. Go back to the odd colored portion of the wall and smash it down. You'll find the Phoenix Mirror inside it. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// After you get the phoenix mirror, go and visit Lapis the Fortune Teller, who gives you this clue: "Father's Heaven, Nine Dragons, Mother's Earth, Comrades, are words that are interchangeable". This adds a not to your notebook. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Looking for clues ----------------- We now have the Phoenix Mirror in hands, and we must search for clues. The chronological order listed here is the same one you found in the Prima Guides. First, go and talk with Yamagishisan, and talk with hi. He'll then give you more information. Now, travel to Dobuita, and talk with Xia at the Russiya china shop, who'll tell you about the Phoenix Legend as well as other information. Move towards the Bunkado Antiques and talk with Keizo for the last piece of information. You know have enough information, so swing your feet towards a PHONE, can call warehouse #8(0468-61-5647) where you'll have to give a password. Head towards the old warehouse by using the bus by the tobacco store and talk with Chen. During the conversation, you'll have to press LEFT, so be ready to act. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// After you go to sleep the day after the chat with Chen, you'll witness one of Ryo's strange dreams, which this time, includes the Phoenix mirror. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Needing for money ----------------- After you go out from the bed, Ryo will pull out his life savings from the bank, but it is still ain't enough to get to Honk Kong(which is by the way, our next destination). Afterwards, go and check on Fuku in his room, who'll try to convince Ine that going to Honk Kong is a good idea, but Ine doesn't agree. Now, we must learn who can take you to honk kong. Talk with Yamagishi, who directs you to the global travel agency. You could also try your luck with the owners of the knocking motorcycle shop and Yokoatsu product, who direct you to the Asia Travel Company, who are cheap, but have bad reputation. Now, go look for the Global Travel Agency, which lend you a piece of paper which tells you the price you need to pay in order to go to honk kong. 198.000 Yen. Damn. That's too expensive and we can't pay that much money, so haul your ass towards the Asia Travel Company. The woman inside doesn't lends you any kind of paper, but not-so-gently tells you that they require 158.000 in order to send you to honk kong. Well, we know have two options, but both of them are out our range. Damn again. Haul ass your way towards your house again, and talk with Fuku, who gives you his life savings. Is a helluva lot of money, but it ain't enough to cover the expenses. We must know learn a way to travel for less. Go and talk the owners of the Jupitor's Jacket, as well as Yokoatsu Product, who gives you tips about how to travel cheaply. But no one ca give you the valuable tip Nozomi gives you. Talk with her to learn about boat tickets. Now the dilemma is: who the hell here can sell me a boat ticket for a few greens?. Try to visit the global travel agency to get your answer. Unfortunately, they don't sell boat tickets, but they tell you that the people at the Asia Global Agency DO give you boat tickets, so swing your leg towards there, and hang over the required 69.000 Yen. You are going to have to wait four hours before they give you your ticket though. Goof around or play a little of Hang-On or a QTE game until the time passes. Then pay a visit to the Asian Agency. Nobody's there. Ryo then breaks(literally) some arms and get the information he wants. Now, head back to your house(wait the night to fall if it hasn't) and go to sleep. Once you wake up, a strange guy called Jimmy calls for you. He tells you should go to the You Arcade at noon. Go there, and Chain, a creepy-looking martial-arts-expert ambushes you. Fight with him(he's _tough_ and you only get a chance). What you get after the fight depends on your performance on the battle: IF you win....... ......you get a set of notes and you'll be able to continue with your exploring. IF you lose...... ......you get another set of notes and are sent to bed for the rest of the day thanks to Fuku and Ine. Finding Jimmy ------------- Go to the Asia travel company at Dobuita, and after a series of cinemas, you'll end up chasing Jimmy throughout a QTE. Press the buttons as listed below to catch him: LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, A, LEFT, LEFT, ___________ |___________| | | RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, A |_____________| The connecting lines mean that you can press either one of the buttons(for example, after pressing left, you can press A instead of right and so on). After you catch on Jimmy, the second disk is finally finished. _____ _____ _____ _ __ | __ \|_ _| / ____|| |/ / | | | | | | | (___ | ' / | | | | | | \___ \ | < | |__| |_| |_ ____) || . \ |_____/|_____||_____/ |_|\_\ _______ _ _ _____ ______ ______ |__ __|| | | || __ \ | ____|| ____| | | | |__| || |__) || |__ | |__ | | | __ || _ / | __| | __| | | | | | || | \ \ | |____ | |____ |_| |_| |_||_| \_\|______||______| ============================================================================== Looking for a job ------------------ After you finally catch this Jimmy guy, Ryo makes him talk. Jimmy then tells you that you can get a lot more of information regarding the MAD ANGELS and Chai if you find a job at the harbor. Guess what?. That's our new objective. Begin by traveling towards the harbor, and go to the warehouse # 18, and talk to the guard outside, who points to a supervisor inside the warehouse # 18. Talk with him, who directs you to a young man who wanders around warehouse # 12. Go and head towards warehouse # 12. As you approach, Goro appears. He then says you should visit him at warehouse # 1 the following day. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// If you don't find Goro the day after you talk with him, he'll call for you. Do this twice, and a note is added to your notebook \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Now, wait the following day to arrive, and head towards the harbor, and afterwards go the where Goro told you to meet him. There you'll find him and Mai, who tell you should go to the Alpha Trading Office at 2:PM. Before you go there, you may want to know where this place is. Talk with the guards around, specially the one around warehouse # 17, who'll tell you the location. When the clock marks the time, go to the alpha trading office. Inside, the manager will immediately send you to work. After this scene, you'll end up in front of Mark, who'll teach you how to drive a forklift. Follow them carefully, because you'll be using them for the rest of the game. Afterwards, you'll need to put the crates outside the warehouse inside it. The more crates you put inside, the more money you'll earn. Even if you don't put inside any create, you'll still get your money. After the training end, you're free to leave, but you could gather some information with the people around. There is a man with a brown suit wandering around warehouse # 1, and talk with him who'll give you a lot of information regarding the mad angels. Afterwards, wait the night to fall and travel towards hokuhoku lunches stand. A chicken race with the mad angels around will start. Press these commands: A, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT to finish the QTE as well as this scene. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Regardless on how you do in the race, the following events may change. If you go through the race flawlessly, the drivers will fall onto the ocean. If you mess up once, you'll win the race. Mess up two or three times and you finish by a scratch. Fail a fourth time, and you'll fall onto the ocean. Also, depending on how you do in the race, Shozo Mizuki, the homeless man will start teaching you movement at different hours. Mess 0 times, and he'll start teaching you moves at 17:00. Mess up twice, or three times, 19:00. Fall onto the ocean: 21:00 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ From now on, you won't be able to wander around Dobuita or Sakuragaoka. You'll now go to the harbor every morning(you'll get your daily money on your way) and start working there. Before actual work begins, you'll have to perform the forklift race. When in work, be sure you move at least three crates and position them good. While on lunch, certain events may happen, as long as you moved three crates(see?). Also, you can train at warehouse # 4. Lastly, after work, you can explore, and you won't be able to leave until 20:00. From Now on, I'll use also a new way of writing. Name of the area(N.Y.H) ----------------------- -During work events(tips on taking the crates) -Noon(lunch) events. -After lunch events -After works event >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< -After harbor events and tips >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< New Yokosuka Harbor ------------------- You'll now have to deliver 10 crates. The route is pretty straightforward, so I guess you don't need any kind of directions. During noon, you'll see a cinematic where a couple of thugs pick on Mark. Because Ryo is the only hero around, he intervenes. You'll then have to fight both of the thugs on free battle. Use your skills and bring them down. You'll get more information about the so-popular MAD ANGELS. During your afternoon work, while taking a crate to warehouse # 18, a couple of thugs pick on you. Sadly, you'll have to beat 'em up. There are 5 of them. Now, be extra careful on this fight. If you lose it, you'll lose ALL OF YOUR MONEY as well, so be careful not to lose. Lucky for you, Sega knew that making a battle like this a tough fight would be a mistake, so these thugs are very easy. Once you beat them, you're good to go. Once you finish your afternoon duties, Goro pays a visit. Ryo asks him about the Mad Angels, but he says he doesn't knows a thing. Looks like he won't be supplying you with information. Anyway, wander around the central pier, around 17: 30 or 18:00. After a while, Ghui Zang will appear. He'll then teach a new move, the Swallow Dive, which is: RIGHT+A. perform it to master it. After you learn this new technique, swing your leg towards warehouse # 18, where you encounter Shozo Mizuki again, who'll teach you another fighting technique, which is the shadow step. Press this buttons: RIGHT+Y+B to master this technique. Perhaps this guy ran a dojo and went bankrupt... anyway, move on. If the timer hasn't marked 20:00, go and talk with Mark, who is across the harbor lounger, by the sea. Talk with him. It looks like he's in trouble. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< When you go to sleep after the first day of work, Ryo dreams about the Phoenix Mirror. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< * * * New Yokosuka Harbor(second day) ------------------------------- This time around, you'll have to take the eight crates outside the harbor cafeteria and drop them off on the warehouse # 8. The best way to get there is to go around the harbor lounge and drive towards your destination. Once again, make sure you drop off at least four of the eight crates, and four more crates right after the lunch(be sure to complete the quota). Once you receive the payment, goof around the harbor lounge, and go to your home, as there is not further exploration to do. * * * New Yokosuka Harbor(third day) ------------------------------ You have eight crates to drop off once again. The best route to take is to go forwards from the place the crates are stockpiled and go around the corner, then go up the street and look for warehouse # 18(which is your destination by the way). Drop off at least 5 or six crates before lunch because you'll have to go through a few events on the noon. While you drop off crates onto warehouse # 18, Sailor's will attack(around 15:30). This is a very tough battle, as there are nine guys to fights, and come on two waves. Use X,X,A combo to do some serious damage on a whole bunch of enemies, or the L+Movement+A to do a cyclone kick which also affects groups of enemies. When you finally beat them, you may continue with your work. This time around, you have a bit of after-work stuff to do. First off, go to warehouse # 18 after you finish your work, where you'll find Shozo Mizuki once again. This time around, he'll teach you the Shadow Step move. Press LEFT+Y+B, X to master it. Afterwards, go to warehouse # 17, where you find the Mad Angels picking on Mark once again. There are five of them, and you got to fight all of the in order to save Mark. They are pretty tough, but once again, let them form a bunch, and do a couple of roundhouse kicks to hit all of them. Once you beat them, you get a lot of information regarding Mark's bro and himself. * * * New Yokosuka Harbor(fourth day) ------------------------------- You have to take at least eight crates from those in front warehouse # 15, and take them to warehouse # 18. The best way to do so is to go forwards the crate pickups and around the corner. Drive down the street, and take the SECOND right you can, and drive through the alleyway and head left when you exit it. Look for the warehouse, and drop off the crates. You don't have to do anything while on job, so take your time. After the lunch bell sounds, Nozomi arrives with here friend. Her friend wants you take two photos of you and Nozomi. One of them shows you close and the other far away from each other. Afterwards, you must select one. Make sure Nozomi gets the one where you are standing next to her. Now, after all of the cinematic, head towards Warehouse # 1 and talk with the supervisor around to information regarding the mad angels. After finishing your work, go towards warehouse # 18, and learn from Shozo Mizuki the move cross charge. This move button combination is: RIGHT, RIGHT Y+B. Once again, is a very useful technique. After learning from Shozo, wait the night to fall and head towards the harbor lounge, where Charlie and his men attack. This is a long but very straightforward QTE. Press: RIGHT, LEFT, A, LEFT, LEFT, A, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< After you finish your fourth day of work, you dream about Lan Di. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< New Yokosuka Harbor(fifth day) ------------------------------ You'll have to drop off from two different pickup points and take those crates to two different dropoff points. Grab the ones by the old warehouse district, and take them to warehouse # 8. Take the crates there, and take them to warehouse # 18. You have 10 crates to pickup and drop-off this time around. On lunch, talk with the man with the man with a jacket and black hair, to learn that there are spies around you... As you pick up and drop off crates on the afternoon, pass around warehouse # 12 at around 14:30, and you'll find Goro who was beat up by a couple of sailors around. This starts a long QTE, which us really cool. Press the buttons below to complete it, and watch out!. You can only take three hits before being knocked out. There are lot of combinations to do too: B--A--B---A--A----B--LEFT--DOWN--A | /|/ | | | \ \ | | B B UP B--A B B B After finishing working, go and check on Mark, who is across the harbor lounger once again. This time around, he gives you a lot of valuable information regarding the Mad Angels. Talk to him once again who'll give you more information about the Long Zha. Afterwards, go check on the supervisor around warehouse # 1. This finally finishes your info-recollection of the day. New Yokosuka Harbor(sixth day) ------------------------------ Pick up the crates and take them to their drop-off point, and do the same thing again. After you finish the pre-lunch, and go to lunch, Goro and Mai show off, and announce their marriage. Cool. Anyway, let's continue with the game. While you work, you'll encounter a couple of sailor's who are around the harbor cafeteria. Ryo questions them about the Long Zha, and they run. A QTE chase through the harbor then ensues. This QTE has a lot of way to work with, so use the table below for more reference: ___________ / \ ____________ _RIGHT_A_LEFT_RIGHT_LEFT_RIGHT / \ / LEFT---B---B---LEFT---A--OR OR \__LEFT__LEFT/ \_LEFT_RIGHT_A_RIGHT_LEFT_RIGHT \_______/\__________/ After you finish your daily work, you'll be sent to receive your payment. While there, the manager gives you a letter from Ghui Zhang. You're immediately taken to the old warehouse district where you get information outta from Master Chen and Ghui Zhang regarding the Long Zha. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< While sleeping, Ryo wakes up, and finds out that something happened to Nozomi. He then receives a phone call. He has to go to the harbor within four hours or else Nozomi will suffer the consequences. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Nozomi is in peril ------------------ Now, swing your leg as fast as you can towards the Knocking Motorcycle shop, and knock the door, and talk with Ono, who directs you to Ito house in Sakuragaoka. Swing your leg towards his house without any distractions, and knock his door. Ito then lends you his motorcycle. You'll now have to drive towards the harbor on it. This plays like a hang on, so if you have been playing this a lot, this should be a cinch. After you arrive at the harbor, you'll have to fight with eight mad angles, followed by a second wave of mad angels conformed by six of them. Have them form a bunch, and kick their ass. New Yokosuka Harbor(Final day) ------------------------------ As you arrive at the harbor, Tom meets on you, and tells you to visit him at about 12:00. After this scene, you're automatically taken onto the alpha trading shop, where the manager fires you because you've been causing a lot of trouble and being late for job. Go and wander around and talk with your friends until is about 12:30, and go and check on Tom. There, he'll teach you a new move, the Tornado Kick, which is: LEFT, LEFT, A, A. This is the most useful kick move in the game and probably the best one. He then tells you that he'll leave towards the U.S.A. After this scene finishes, you're taken to the next point of the game. You'll have to fight with Ghui Zhang, and then press RIGHT on a QTE scene. After all of the events above, you'll have to fight 70 Mad Angels, as well as three bosses. Once you finish this tough sequence, you'll catch on Terry. Ghui Zhang will take on him, and on the cinema, be ready to press A when prompted to lend a hand. Farewell -------- After all of the events above, Ryo has finally decided to leave. He travels to the harbor, where he find Master Chen as well as Ghui Zhang. Master Chen teaches you another fighting technique, which is the swallow flip(RIGHT+X,A). After you finally master it, Chai enters the scene. You'll have to fight him them. He's TOUGH(he's your final boss) but you'll be able to beat him. "Never Give up"/Farewell Yokosuka ---------------------------------- After the battle, Chai wakes up and attacks. press: DOWN, A, A, A to finish this QTE and dump Chai into the ocean and finish this scene. Finally, we see Ryo leaving. This is the end. Ryo is off to Honk Kong, where he'll get his revenge. THANKS FOR READING THE WALKTHROUGH, WHICH IS FINALLY FINISHED. ============================================================================== =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- MINIGAMES =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ___________________ | HANG ON | |___________________|________________________________________________________ | Hang on is my least favorite game.

Ryu rushes towards his enemy and uses his right arm to blast his face out. When performing it, you're out for the attack though. TIGER KNUCKLE(X) --------------- This is an extremely basic move. Basically, you throw a punch aimed at the jiunchu, a focal point located between the nose and mouth(I've received punches there and it hurts.) ELBOW SLAM(RIGHT, X) -------------------- This is a variation of the tiger knuckle. This move consists on a downwards- directed forearm hit. It is as powerful as the tiger knuckle. ELBOW ASSAULT(RIGHT, RIGHT, X) ----------------------------- The elbow assault throw Ryu's FULL body with high speed to the opponent's center part of the body(around the stomach, which means that this hurts). UPPER KNUCKLE(L,L,X) -------------------- Man, this gotta hurt!. This move is like the uppercut in the mortal kombat games. You crouch for a moment, and then get up, along with your punch, which is aimed at your opponent's jaw. Jaw-breaking!. SLEEVE STRIKE(R,L,X) -------------------- You step forward and then punch whatever is in front of you with extreme speed. This move is not as effective in tall people, but small people get their faces crushed. RAIN THRUST(L,R,X) ------------------ This move makes Ryo swing his hand towards the enemy's left side of the neck(focal point). I suppose that this may be lethal in real life. BIG WHEEL(X+A) -------------- This move is a diagonal punch directed to the collarbone with extreme speed. Extremely powerful at close range. TWIN HAND WAVES(RIGHT,X+A) -------------------------- Ryu does a step forwards and using the palm of the hand as well as his forearm, he hits the enemy jaw and chest. This affects internal organs(Japanese must be crazy! j/k). BACKFIST WILLOW(LEFT,X+A) ------------------------- Ryo does a spin and hits the enemy in the right part of the face with his knuckle. The spin obviously increases the move power. MISTRAL FLASH(LT,X) ------------------- Ryo rushed the enemy and does a diagonal punch with hits the nape of the neck as well as a portion of the shoulder. AVALANCHE LANCE(R,R,X+A) ------------------------ Ryo uses his forearm and performs a deadly hit which affects the lower portion of the stomach(it doesn't hits the nuts). Again, it shoulda hurt. KATANA MIST SLASH(L,L,X+A) -------------------------- Ryo advances one step with the forwards leg, and hits the enemy with the side of his hand. Extremely powerful. PIT BLOW(R,X) ------------- Ryo steps forwards and punches the enemies with one hand and then with the other. RISING FLASH(L,R,R,X) --------------------- This is another variation of the Mortal Kombat uppercut. Ryu crouches, and then wakes up and hits the enemy in the head. This looks more mortal-kombat-is than the upper knuckle. RABBIT'S REVENGE(X) ------------------ If an enemy is on your back, perform this skill. Surprise!. Rabbit's revenge!. TWIN BLADES(L,R,R,X) -------------------- Ryo uses both sides of his open hands and lands a chop on both sides of the enemies neck. In real life, performing this move could kill somebody, so don't go Bruce Lee and do it on the local thugs. DOUBLE BLOW(R,X+A) ----------------- Ryo uses his palm and hits the enemy, and then puts the other palm above the first palm to deliver a deadly blow(this creates an internal shockwave, you know). STAB ARMOR(R,L,L,X+A) --------------------- Ryo does a spin and then uses both hands to hit the enemy in his body. Extremely powerful. ********** KICK MOVES ********** CRESCENT KICK(A) ---------------- Ryo performs an upward-directed kick that is not so powerful. SWALLOW FLIP(LEFT,X,A,X) ------------------------ When an attack is coming, Ryo stops the attack and slides his foot towards the opponent feet at the same time, knocking him out of balance and throwing him to the floor. TRAMPLE KICK(R,A) ----------------- Ryo delivers a kick directed to the vital organs located on the torso frontally. SIDE REAPER KICK(LEFT,A) ----------------------- This kick hits the opponent's lower portion of the knee, throwing him out of balance. AGAINST CASCADE(R,R,A) ---------------------- Ryo leaps towards his enemy and hits him with his knee in the upper portion of the body. Cool to see and powerful at the same time. SURPLICE SLASH(LEFT,LEFT,A) --------------------------- This is basically a roundhouse kick. You swing your foot from the lower to the midst to the highest in a semi-circular motion. THUNDER KICK(L,R,A) ------------------- Ryo swings his foot upwards and then drops it with good speed, causing the enemy to receives a lot of damage(in reel life this can knock out somebody easily). HOLD AGAINST LEG(L,R,A) ----------------------- Ryo delivers a mid level kick. Before Ryo perform it, he contracts his leg and then de-contracts it to gain additional power. BRUTAL TIGER(R,L,X+A) --------------------- This is a roundhouse kick with a bigger radius(compared to surplice slash). Therefore, the semi-circle is bigger. DARK MOON(L,R,X+A) ------------------ Ryo does a boomerang like kick. He jumps, and while in the air, he does an aerial roundhouse kick that gives him more speed. DESTROY PROTECTIONS(Y+A) ------------------------ This is the move you were waiting for. Ryo SLOWLY swing his leg towards the enemies nuts!. Sadly, it is not very damaging. Crap!. CYCLONE KICK(LT+A) ------------------ Ryo jumps and does a roundhouse kick. He flies forwards in the process, making it more powerful. CYCLONE KICK(LT,X+A) -------------------- This is a variation of the cyclone kick, as it goes for the neck. When it connects, it normally throws the enemy out of balance. Is easy to dodge though. SWALLOW DIVE(LEFT+A) -------------------- Ryo swings his leg upwards and finishes the move with a heel drop. This hits the jaw and the forehead. TORNADO KICK(R, R, A, A) --------------------- Ryo does a spin, then lands on the floor and almost immediately does a second spin kick(hence the name "Tornado Kick"). CRAWL CYCLONE(R,L,L,A) ---------------------- Ryo crouches and does a spin, which knocks out the enemy off balance. The damage is double, because it hits the legs and the body hits the floor. MAD SPIDER(L,R,R,A) ------------------- Ryo crouches and slides towards the enemy. On his way there, he points his foot upwards and hits the lower portion of the stomach of the enemy. TWIN SWALLOW LEAP(L,R,R,X+A) ---------------------------- Ryo leaps upwards and gains height. While flying, he performs a drops himself down with full-force and hits the enemy. SHADOW REAPER(LT,Y+A) --------------------- Ryo runs towards his enemy and slides to hit his enemy's feet. FOOT MOVER(A) ------------- With an enemy in your back, press A and you'll surprise him. ****** THROWS ****** I won't give explanations about throws, because, even though some of them are different, they're pretty much the same(there are some of them that have descriptions though). OVERTHROW(B) ------------ Get near your enemy, and press this button. Ryo will grab the enemy and throw him into the floor. This is the basic throw. SWEEP THROW(RIGHT,B) ------------------- VORTEX THROW(LEFT,B,RIGHT,LEFT,A) --------------------------------- MIST REAPER(RIGHT, RIGHT, B) ---------------------------- Ryo grabs his enemy by the neck and pushes forwards, and with his leg, he pushes his enemy feet backwards, which throws the enemy out of balance. This move is very effective. DEMON DROP(LEFT,LEFT,B) ----------------------- SHOULDER BUSTER(RIGHT,LEFT,B) ----------------------------- When an attack is coming to you, press this combination to grab the enemy by his arm and perform a armlock. TENGU DROP(LEFT,RIGHT,B) ------------------------ DARKSIDE HAZUKI(B) ------------------ Put yourself in the side of an enemy and Ryo will grab the enemy and then use his forearm to throw the enemy to the floor. BACKTWIST DROP(B) ----------------- Put yourself behind the opponent and press this button and you'll grab the enemy and throw him backwards. WEDGE STRIKE(B) --------------- While behind of the enemy, press B to kick the enemy's ass. SWALLOW DIVE(RIGHT,Y+B) ----------------------- ARM BREAK FIRE(RIGHT,LEFT,B,X,X+A) ---------------------------------- TIGER STORM(LEFT,RIGHT,RIGHT,B,B) --------------------------------- This a move a like a lot. When you do this combination, Ryo will crouch and then rush towards his enemy. The hits launches the enemy flying backwardly. SHADOW BLADE(RIGHT,Y+B,X) ------------------------- CROSS CHARGE(RIGHT,RIGHT,Y+B) ----------------------------- ***** GRABS ***** COLLAR GRAB(Y+B) ---------------- You grab the enemy from the neck and lift him. While you have him in your hands, you can do any of the attacks below. GUT PUNCH(X,X) -------------- Use this move to punch your enemy twice in the stomach. This is only effective when there aren't too much enemies around. SCABBARD'S REVENGE(A,X) ----------------------- Ryo hits his grabbed enemy twice in the stomach, and then goes around him and does a kick. RISING KNEE(A) -------------- Ryo releases his enemy for less than a second and uses his knee to blast him in the stomach with speed and power. Is a great move. OVERTHROW(B) ------------ You'll take the enemy and throw him into the floor. The his most basic finisher, but is great for all situations. ********************* GUARD MOVES(ARMLOCKS) ********************* ARMLOCK(B) ---------- When an enemy tries to punch you, press B to perform an armlock. Afterwards, you may perform any of the following moves. FEATHER FOLD(---) ----------------- Ryo releases his enemy after a while if you do not press any button. EPIGRAM(X) ---------- Ryo hits his enemy with an elbow in the back of his neck and knocks him onto the floor. Is an effective move, but not very powerful. KIDNEY KICK(A) -------------- Ryo hits his enemy side with his knee. SICKLE KICK(A+D-PAD movement) ----------------------------- With this move, Ryo will hit any enemy(depending the location you pointed the d-pad) while using his hostage as a balancer. *************************** GUARDS MOVES(MOVE COUNTERS) *************************** QUICK DUCK(Y) ------------- Duck a high attack. HEAVEN'S PRIZE(X)(After Quick Duck) ----------------------------------- Ryo does an uppercut with his palms of his hands. Do this fast or the enemy may dodge it. SWEEP KICK(A) ------------- After ducking his enemy attack, Ryo will use his leg to hit his enemy feet and knock him out of balance. SUN FLIP(X+A) ------------- After you duck an attack, Ryo does an impressive-looking flip and hits various enemies. PRIZE STRIKE(X) --------------- Ryo does a turn after ducking and chops the enemy on his back BACK MOWER(A) ------------- If you have an opponent behind, press this after ducking and Ryo will push his enemy backwards. This causes damage and prevents the enemy from attacking. HEAD SPLIT(X+A) --------------- If you have an enemy on your back after ducking, press this combination and Ryo will do a chop on his enemy's face. LEG SCISSORS(B) --------------- After ducking, if you have an enemy behind, do this and Ryo will do a cool looking movement(you should do it by yourself. It is so damn cool!). CORNER DROP(B,B) ---------------- If an enemy is about to punch it, press B twice and you'll grab his arm and flip him and throw him into the floor. LEG TRIP(B,B) ------------- Ryo uses his leg to drop down his enemy, ************ COMBINATIONS ************ TORRENT COMBO(X,X,X,X,X,X,X,X) ------------------------------ Ryo does an eight-hitting punch combo. This move is extremely fast and powerful, and should be used wherever you can. Problem is that it leaves you open for attack because of it's length. TORRENT CIRCLE(X,X,X,A) ----------------------- This combo is as powerful and as fast as the previous combo, but is a lot better. Ryo does three rapid punches and finishes with a big, aerial, roundhouse kick. You should use this a lot. TORRENT TURNING ATTACK(X,X,RIGHT,X,X) ------------------------------------- Ryo does two rapid punches and an elbow and finishes with a chop. Sadly, the finishing chop is performed slowly, making this move dangerous when fighting large groups of enemies(coughmadangelscough). TORRENT OPEN TROOP(X,X,RIGHT,X,A) --------------------------------- Ryo does two rapid punches, and an elbow, which is followed by another punch and finished by an aerial roundhouse kick. Unlike the torrent turning, this is a very powerful and useful move. TORRENT SCATTER ATTACK(X,X,A) ----------------------------- Ryo punches the enemy twice and fast, and then does a vertical kick. This move pushes your enemy backwards, and leaves him open for attack. TORRENT HIP COMBO(A,A) ---------------------- Ryo performs three kicks rapidly and vertically(like Devil May Cry rapid fencing). This is a great combo against various enemies, and can push enemies backwardly. TORRENT STROMY HIP(A,X,A) ------------------------- Ryo does a an upward kick followed by a punch and finished by a jumping kick. It is very quick, deadly, and is one of the combos you should pullout the most. TORRENT KICK ATTACK(S,X,X,X,X,X,X) ---------------------------------- Ryo starts with an upward-diagonal kick and finishes with six punches. Its very long, but useful any way. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NOTEBOOK =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I'll soon add the starting notes as well as "how to get...". <<>>: Lapis notes are located at the bottom. _____ _____ _____ _ __ ____ _ _ ______ | __ \|_ _| / ____|| |/ / / __ \ | \ | || ____| | | | | | | | (___ | ' / | | | || \| || |__ | | | | | | \___ \ | < | | | || . ` || __| | |__| |_| |_ ____) || . \ | |__| || |\ || |____ |_____/|_____||_____/ |_|\_\ \____/ |_| \_||______| [Ine-San will leave 500 Yen on the shoe cabinet for me daily] [I should go to the dojo and ask Fuku-San...] [I'll get revenge for my father!] [Ask around or see if anyone saw men wearing black that day] [I can't involve Fuku-San] [I found a locked box in the Dojo.

The animations are so real, that whenever you get near the birds, they'll walk, run or fly away". "The weather in Shenmue is constantly changing thanks to the magic weather engine. If the weather is sunny the first time you play, it may be raining or even snowing the next time you play it again. You can choose the actual weather option if you want the actual weather as it was in 1986[GLN'S NOTE: Shenmue takes place in 1986].

I hoped that I could develop a game that would be just as trouble free. That was my goal as I set out to create Shenmue. In the act of investigating, something creates something new, and this is something that even a child of ten can do. It goes beyond generations, crossing country borders, and is a theme that people all over the world can sympathize with. Forcing strong emotions on the players makes them experiences the game as if they were there and creates a story people talk about. This game can be enjoyed at any age. The system is simple to use and gun to play. Through this new world you can experience a life that is totally different(than your own). You'll want to see what happens next. The stages are realistic and the story is so easy that even a child will understand it but the depths of the story will draw into adults. The characters are appealing, the story is moving, and everything is interwoven into an harmonious whole. My goal is to hand the whole world to the player.
