Scratch the ice thing. I hate cannons more. At least we’re nearly at another epic boss fight.
Wow, this has got to be the shortest description I’ve ever made.
Ya, took a while to get here. Duh. And holy crap, part 40 already?
Info: He fights alone here, also giving you your first two-on-one, but you meet him later in the dungeon with the odds evened (still easy, but you deal with 2 bosses at the same time and Oki is pretty useless outside of 1 attack). There are two ways to finish this fight. Quickly and super-quickly. Since you’re fighting alongside Shiranui, once you get things started, she’ll start attacking with her brush (and other attacks) that do some serious damage. You can sit aside and let her do her thing, or you can DESTROY Nechku. He doesn’t go down as easy when his buddy comes to help, but…DUDE SHIRANUI KICKS ASS!
The last brush technique and 5th tier reflector. Brush technique is a little meh, but gotta love solar flare! I’ll say that I’ve been kind of selling the ice technique a little short. I actually did use it a little in the fight against Yami to SOME degree of usefulness.
Other than that, just running through puzzles and such and somewhat getting lost.
I swear, if I get ONE MORE BLOODY UNKNOWN ERROR…
(Ya, that was the reason why it took so long. Every time I tried, it wouldn’t work. Ugh)
Aaaanyways, this is the last full dungeon of the game and has a brush technique (last one!), sub-boss, and a main boss. Almost there! And speaking of sheep, I saw newborn lambs today. CUUUUUTE!
Info: Wawku Shrine isn’t difficult unless you’re like me and way too neurotic about ice (…and canons, which this game often throws in combination). Bit of a disappointing final dungeon, but whatever. It’s pretty. With the exception of the ark (if you consider that a dungeon), it’s also the only dungeon with both a sub AND main boss as well as the only battles where you fight alongside an ally. That’s kinda neat in itself.
There is nothing anyone can say that won’t make me think that’s the bloody zetsu tenrou battouga! THAT’S WHAT IT IS!
Mmm, it feels good to upload regularly. I should do that more often, huh? Well, at least it would feel good if I stopped getting these blasted “unknown errors” x_x.
Info: This battle is unlocked AFTER you beat Ninetails on Oni Island (along with many other bead quests). The Kusa 8 rematch pits you against 3 rounds of Canine Warriors without a break in between. Not particularly difficult, but hoarding items is helpful since they can knick off a lot of damage and are harder than their original fights. First round is Chi (Japanese Spitz), Shin (Boxer), Rei (English Pointer), and Ko (Collie). Then for some reason Gi (Siberian Husky), Chu (Kai Ken), and Jin (Shiba Inu) return for round 2, but might not be them and only replacements or something. And last but not least, we of course have Tei (Tosa Inu). All the dogs have their original attacks, as well as some additional ones that are shared (ex. digging) or completely new (ex. THE BATTOUGA!). And my question has been answered. You CAN fight them if you started a new game and you got the bead on a previous playthrough.
MY PIMP SWORD! AT LONG LAST!
And Youtube, stop it with your unknown errors. If they’re happening this frequently, you would think you would know what’s causing it.
Ya, I do know how to beat that bloody water head. I didn’t at that time though.
Yes, no upload yesterday. It kept breaking down due to an “unknown error”. Tisk tisk Youtube.
Info: True Orochi is more or less the same as the original Orochi at the end of the first act down to the quicktime events. Only difference is the context and cutscenes. Also, no Moon Cave and hideos round things to push around in weird sand rooms! HURRAH!
Well, mixture of that, Sakuya, Rao, and most other things in this game.
Ok, listen up! I know I haven’t been uploading a lot, but (and I’m serious this time) Okami will be finished by next week. Why am I so sure? Because I have it all recorded right here. I did this recording here in early February, another last week, and last on Monday. The entire game is completed and I have over 4 hours of video to upload (and it’s currently being split). Do the math. Because of this and me wanting to get this series off my back, there will be 1 video posted per day and each of them is over 10 minutes long (there will be some part overlap, like part of True Orochi will be in for the Kusa 8 Rematch video). There will also be 1 video dedicated to part of the last cutscenes, credits, and the scores and that will be about 11 minutes long. Thank you for your patience (and Balco’s too *pokes Possk*).
Info: Nagi behaves more or less like Evil Rao and Waka except harder. ‘Nuff said.
Yep, more of this again. Yadda yadda, blah blah blah. At least I did well against the other spider.
Today is actually the first day of second semester, so I don’t know when I can start recording again. I need to do a lot of stuff before I get to the next boss, which I THINK is True Orochi. Rehash battles! Woo!
Yep, got off me arse to record some more Okami. Hope you guys had a nice holiday. I really wanted to record more over my break, but the rents decided to stay in the house a lot for some reason. In this video and the next, there will be the bandit spider fights. It’s the first fight I’ve shown that is 100% OPTIONAL and isn’t needed for plot completion.
Also, my N. Ryoshima spider commentary recording (…that I made in October) seems to have vanished, so you’ve been spared my excessive whining. I replaced it with post-commentary where I just talk about random shit and how much I sucked at that fight. I hate doing post commentary. Enjoy (ya right).
Info: The bandit spiders are defeated the same way as the Geisha Spider (ie the first main boss) except they need 3 vines instead of 2. Easy fights really. I just make them look harder. Ryoshima’s is in a nook before the temple and near some cattle, N. Ryoshima’s is on one of the islands, and Kamui’s is close to Wep’keer. The 3 all require the digging upgrade to get to the arenas and after you defeat the spider you recieve a sun fragment. Returning to the arena will unlock the gate challenges where you can earn beads.
