[PS2] Okami

Was the demo in the latest issue of OPSM?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm enjoying this game to no end. There's a point where this game stands out from others when

Spoiler:

When Susano says he'll destroy the boulder to clear the way out of Kamiki the next day, and you, being Amaterasu, the sun godess, brush a happy little sun *Bob Ross impression*...BAM! IT'S THE NEXT DAY. GET TO WORK!!!

I'm a little over 4 hours into the game, and I'm barely getting to Agata Forest. I can tell this game is going to be deep to almost no end. I suggest people pick this up as soon as possible.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If I remember seeing in a vid correctly:

Spoiler:

Couldn't Ammy use the actual sword Tsukuyomi (Nagi's sword) as an actual weapon?

Spatula:

Spoiler:

I don't know about dying from being in the water, I was never in water long enough.

Some baddies, later on, actually block the Power Slash with their instruments--at my point in the game, one enemy has a taiko, another one has a japanese guitar. You'd have to manually attack them before they're brushable.

Biting someone, from my doing, has not lowered my praise. From what I can tell, praise comes from nature, Sakuya, and her Guardian Saplings.

Hope that helped a bit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Gamespot said it was around 30 hours long. Knowing them they probably just blew through the game just to get an idea of how long it took to complete. I've been in the game 6 hours and I've unlocked 6 brushes I believe

Spoiler:

( I've just unlocked the vine brush, the last of the 3 flora gods.)

The "language" instantly reminded me of the Klonoa series for their use of a unique language.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I have 6 ink bottles right now. When it comes to attacking enemies' weak points later in the game, you'll need them. I've actually lost my Divine Instrument a few times from running out of ink.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Tip: Do LOTS of fishing. If you catch 2 Huchen (which take 3 slashes to capture one) You can make 15000 Yen easy--run back to Shinshu Field and get new moves. Buy the Rosary Bead Storm, you can reach lvl 3 Godhood with ease using those.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Shenlon:

Spoiler:

After you clean up Agata Forest

FELIPE NO

Wait till you get to

Spoiler:

the village with Gale Shrine. The evil atmosphere will strip you of your ink and weapons, and it will be constantly dark, no matter how much sun you throw up in the sky.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You can easily buy the 100,000Yen skill, but you'll be fishing in Agata Forest for at least an hour. Then you'll have to run to Taka Pass, sell the Huchen and Salmon to the merchant in the beginning in that zone. Then run (and Lily brush) ALL THE WAY BACK TO SHINSHU FIELD to train. I guess it's better that way as it gives you a chance to take out baddies and make even more money. By far the best weapon so far into the game is the Devout Beads and the "*something* storm" technique that costs like 10,000 I believe. You can get like a 45 hit combo.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Life Beads with the Spirit Storm technique (6-hit combo) utterly destroys enemies...twice as fast. I don't use Cherry Bombs as much as to maintain my Godhood.

Spoiler:

I'm about to face Orochi for the first time. Any ideas?

Double Post:

Spoiler:

Ho-Lee Shit! I'm at the Ryoshima Coast right now talking to Onigiri Sensei, and they have a God Technique called Brown Rage that's 2 million Yen. The description said "If you've mastered the Golden Fury, add insult to injury with this." I wonder wtf could be worth 2 million yen?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

SouthJag basically hit the nail on the head. Godhood is your shield, and depending on your level (red to yellow to green), you're attack power will increase noticeably. I would rather my Godhood take a considerable attack from Orochi than my solar energy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I'm currently 26 hours into this game, and I can't put it down. I've accumulated 17 of the hours within the past 2 days.

The Tsumugari Glaive doesn't seem that powerful to me for some reason--charged attacks or not. I guess I need to power it up with Golden Powder or something.

Spoiler:

That tactic works great when you face Orochi after you destroy the shrine on it's back--when they're charging at you head-on.

Spoiler:

Just wait till you get shrunken to Issun's size to clear the mist from Sei-an City. You get to see what he actually looks like. He's pretty badass with Denokomaru

FELIPE NO

SS - Check Kushi's house...I think you'll find a couple of Sakes in there.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

press L1.

You won't last long if you're actually in the water, but with a Lily brush, I suppose pretty far.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow. Dragon Palace's music is some of the most soothing music I've heard in some time. It rivals Klonoa's OST in terms of calmness.

The Jade Glaive (at my point) is the most powerful weapon in the game. It fully charges in literally a fraction of a second. You can take out black imps with 2 strokes.

Spoiler:

I just defeated Ninetails, btw

Did you ever brush long enough to where Kyuubi's brush appeared on your canvas? I saw that brush and I stopped hella quick. lol

• What to do with soft water circles?

Spoiler:

• You'll need the Inferno brush where I believe you obtain it in the Moon Cave or somewhere around there.
• You'll obtain the Catwalk ability after climbing the Catcall Tower in N. Ryoshima Coast (buy meat feedbags)
• Suprisingly, the ability to dig through solid ground is not a brush, it's a technique you must buy from Onigiri Sensei in Ryoshima Coast. It costs 30,000 Yen IIRC
• Not quite sure what you mean by that, can you elaborate? If you're talking about small swirls in little ponds, if you throw a Mermaid Coin in there (500 yen each), you can activate the pond and teleport any zone you've already been. Don't bother spending like 20,000 yen on coins, you'll obtain a brush technique to where you activate the ponds through your brush. You'll obtain the brush in Dragon Palace through a Dig minigame. This time it's tougher than ever, I literally got down to 0 seconds, and on top of that, it took me a couple times. Now that I think about it, if you got the Praise for it, upgrade your ink capacity...NOW!!!

Spoiler:

I'm just going to naturally assume it will. Seeing that Kyuubi was a deviation of Blight. I wouldn't be suprised if Blight activated IT'S OWN CANVAS AGAINST YOU!

Looking forward to the last fight.

FELIPE NO

I would say at least one of them for the Divine Instrument Life Beads. If you don't have them yet, you'll be coming up on them pretty quick.

Most amazing jew boots

eventually there will be plenty of things you'll have to stumble over and come back to later in the game. Like the various rock digs, catwalks, and boulder busting (which I'm assuming needs the last Celestial Brush).
