In the Ark of Yamato, there's a Celestial Being's spirit who asks Ammy to make an offering. Offering Demon Fangs will let you trade them as you normally would, and offering money does the same thing. The Being sells the remaining two Gold Dusts.

So MS, go ahead and spend all those Gold Dusts.

Way ahead of you bro, I'm already in Tsuta again. This item is amazing, and yes I used those Gold Dust on the two weapons that hadn't been upgraded then

Spoiler:

Tsukugami and Life Beads

How ya doing, buddy?

What a beautiful ending. Issun's inspirational words made me well-up and almost cry. My girlfriend was crying though. Poor thing.

I'm really digging the Karmic Transformers. Some are hilarious, but KT 9 is by far my favorite. At first I thought it was just "ethereal Amaterasu" but after closer inspection, I think it's actually her original 3D model with a heavy outline. Wicked.

And yeah, String of Beads = win.

Spoiler:

Yeah, for a character who was as wise cracking and womanizing as they come, he was probably the best kind of person to deliver that. It was pretty hard seeing Ammy try repeatedly to get him back to the Yamato and when he actually did attempt to go in, the disappointment was almost palpable in that scene. Waka's such a fucking asshole to Issun, even though he obviously meant well.

I'll have to get to the final battle again, but I swear, almost everytime I used Veil of Mist I'd get one of the folks who died during the course of the game. Oh yeah, KT9 is basically the original presentation model. Looking at some of the concept art, that Ammy would've been in a completely different game. One that was definitely more moody/brooding than the lighthearted feel of this game (though those heavy parts are something else entirely).

The string, and the final bead (can't say this enough, after all that trouble, it's downright gorgeous) are easily some of my favorite things to show up in a game in recent memory. I threw on the fourth rosary with a sword as a subweapon and the first boss battle literally ended in the low single digits.

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

Also, if you create a moon, a giant Nagi will attack Yami.

Wait, did you have to Power Slash them or something? I saw them but didn't get any items from them, or at least I didn't notice that I picked anything up (and like SouthJag, I used Mist pretty often).

The Nagi thing I knew of, since that's one of the ways your break the sphere.
