The Mausoleum of Evil

Mission Start Text

They say it is not only Otakemaru who sleeps within Byodio-In. many other foul spirits that have brought calamity to these lands can be found there. I feel terrible sending my child alone into such a place, but all I can do is beg that you take care of yourself.

With luck, there should be a clue in there that will bring you closer to restoring the power of Sohayamaru. Hanebi and I will await your return.

Mission End Text

What we saw in that mural down there was the blade passed down through the Sohaya for generations, the sword that can slay any yokai. I'm sure of it.

In order to restore that blade, it seems that we will need that dagger of yours, this sword guard of mine, and a whole heap of Spirit Stones.

Tokichiro has already taken Kanto and draws ever closer to bringing the entire nation under his rule. We can't afford to waste a second.

The Mausoleum of Evil Walkthrough

First Shrine

The year is January 1590, and players arrive at Byodo-In in Yamashiro Province. You'll see the first shrine at the starting point. From the shrine, go straight and you'll see Mumyo. Speak to her to learn more about this mission. Behind her, there's a body that you can loot, and a dragon statue that requires a specific item that needs to be placed inside its mouth. So for now, ignore it, and head up the stairs where you'll first encounter a Dweller. There's a dead-end on the left side of the next set of stairs where you'll find a body that you can loot and another Dweller. After grabbing the item, head up the stairs and you'll encounter an Aberrant Soldier by the bridge, and across it is an Ubume and another body you can loot.

From where the Aberrant Soldier was, jump down the edge on the right and check the left side, you'll find the first Kodama standing by the corner. From the Kodama's location, continue going down and you'll encounter a One-eyed Oni. After killing the oni, cross the bridge and you'll come across another Aberrant Soldier patrolling on the square platform. By the entrance of the temple, there will be a Karasu Tengu guarding the entrance and another Aberrant Soldier standing at the other bridge ahead of you.

After killing the Aberrant Soldier and Karasu Tengu, don't go inside the temple first, but instead, cross the second bridge ahead and you'll see a body that you can loot on the left side by the broken bridge and a tree on the right that you can kick down to open up a shortcut leading back to the first shrine. After kicking the tree down, go back to the temple grounds and shoot the Nure-Onna that's hanging on the frames of the temple above, there's also another Aberrant Soldier that's walking nearby, and a Dweller that will climb from the hole on the ground.

After clearing the area, climb up the ladder, and go through the door on the right. Go left and you'll see the first Sudama by an open chest.

Next, go back outside the balcony, and just follow the path where you'll encounter another Dweller. You'll find the second Kodama at the end of the path.

Once you've guided the Kodama back to the shrine, go back inside the temple, shoot the Dweller that's across, kill the Aberrant Soldier below you, and destroy the large yellow crystal to obtain spirit stones and also the Dragon God Jewel, be careful and don't walk straight after you destroy the crystal or else you'll fall down from the hole - before you head back to the dragon statue near Mumyo, you'll want to head outside the temple and go up the incline that's on the west side of the temple. Go around the balcony, loot the body and open the small chest at the end of the balcony, and go through the door on the left where you'll encounter a Nure-Onna. Behind it is another body you can loot that's at the edge - after clearing the temple, head outside and go back to the dragon statue near Mumyo.

Place the Dragon God Jewel in its mouth and the water surrounding the area will start drop, allowing you to explore the bottom area of the temple. Don't go inside the room where the large crystal was, but instead, check outside the temple, on the east, and you'll see that there's a hole that you can now jump from to reach the balcony that's below.

There's a Lesser Umi-bozu below that you need to kill first. Now don't move around too much from where you dropped, because there's another hole nearby that goes down to the corridor below you where the first dark realm is. So try not to accidentally fall in. After you kill the Umi-bozu, walk around the other hole to reach the outer section of the balcony, simply go around it and you'll find the third Kodama. Next, go back to balcony was and jump down the hole and into the corridor where you'll enter the Dark Realm. From here, run towards the wooden beam and you'll see a Dweller nearby, make sure you kill it to stop it from throwing bombs at you. Now, remember that you need to return on the beams after you dispel the dark realm so that you can open the large chest that's on it.

The source of the dark realm is a Snowclops that's below you, so you can execute a drop attack to catch it off guard and to take out a decent chunk of amount from its health. After killing it, loot the skeleton nearby to grab an item and climb up the nearby ladder. You'll find a large chest that you can now open at the corner which contains 1x Ninja's Locks along with other items. Instead of climbing up the second ladder, you can try to dash onto the wooden beams so that you can open the other large chest that's on it. From the wooden beams, go to the west corridor where you'll encounter an Ubume that's walking back and forth. Don't go out the roof of the temple from the door on the left side yet, but first, check the end of the corridor, you'll find another large chest that you can open.

After opening the chest, go through the door and outside on the roof of the temple. You'll encounter another Dweller one on the roof, and another that's hanging above you. After killing it, keep going straight, and at the end jump down the other roof below you and work your way around it through the narrow path and go through the door which will take you back inside the temple where you fought the Snowclops. Next, climb up both ladders, exit the door on the left, and climb another ladder that's on the rooftop where you'll find another chest inside a corridor and a yokai mist that's blocking a door behind it.

The Yokai within the mist is a Karasu Tengu which you'll need to kill to open the large door behind it which opens up a shortcut that goes back to the first shrine.

Now, you'll want to climb back down the ladder, head back to the corridor area and go outside through the hole on the wall that's at the end of the corridor on the right side. You'll see a path that goes down and another Dweller feeding on a corpse that you can loot ahead. At the end of the path, you'll encounter another Lesser Umi-bozu. Kill it and before you go up the incline on the right, kill the Aberrant Soldier that's at a dead-end on the left side.

From where the Aberrant Soldier was, approach the wall on the left side and you'll find that it's a Nurikabe yokai wall. Kill it or if you're lucky, pacify it with the correct gesture to get a free pass. Try to use the "Confused" gesture, see if it works. Behind it, is a path that goes down where you'll find another Lesser Umi-bozu, a body that you can loot that's at the edge, and the second dragon statue. Since you don't have the gem yet, climb up the nearby ladder and you'll find the second large crystal that's guarded by a Nure-Onna. Kill the yokai then destroy the crystal to obtain spirit stones and the second Dragon God Jewel. Now, climb back down the ladder and place the jewel in the mouth of the dragon statue to continue draining the water.

Jump down from the dragon statue, and before going inside the room ahead, go around the platform on the right and you'll find the second Sudama - after trading with the Sudama, continue forward and you'll find the second shrine for this mission.

The yokai within it is an Ubume.

After killing the Ubume, make sure to open the chest that's nearby and head outside the balcony of the same building, you'll find the fourth Kodama there. Once you've grabbed the Kodama, go back to the building near the second shrine, and make your way down the stairs on the right side, then jump down into the room below where you'll encounter a Dweller and a small chest that you can loot.

From there, you'll want to cross the bridge that's in the middle and head inside the room ahead, shoot down the Nure-Onna that's hanging on the ceiling on the left side of the room. In the same room, you'll find the fifth Kodama.

You need to kill the Snowclops and destroy the large crystal to obtain more spirit stones and the third Dragon God Jewel that you can use at the third Dragon Statue that's nearby to drain the water.

After grabbing the jewel, you'll see another building on the opposite side from where you came from. Head inside and jump down to the room below where you'll encounter a Nure-Onna. Kill it, go around the room, and check the corner on the right side, you'll find the sixth Kodama.

Don't go out of the room where the sixth Kodama is, but instead, approach the wall that's on the left side, and you'll find the second Nurikabe wall for this mission. Kill it or if you're lucky, pacify it with the correct gesture to get a free pass. Try to use the "Nice" gesture, see if it works.

Behind the yokai wall, there's a ladder that you can climb that goes up to the rooftops of the buildings. Check the right side of the rooftops and you'll find the third Sudama. After trading with it, jump back down and place the jewel in the dragon's mouth to proceed to the next section.

Now, jump down, and go to the right side, you'll see another large platform that's blocked by a yokai mist. The yokai within it is a Karasu Tengu. Once you've killed the Tengu, continue going up, but instead of going to the building where the marker is pointing at, head down the cliff that's on the left side where you'll find another Snowclops next to a chest.

From where the Snowclops was, you'll see another platform nearby that you can go down to. Keep looking down and you'll see a walkway that leads to the second Dark Realm of this mission. Now, go right and you'll encounter a Kappa. As you head past it, you'll be on another platform where you'll see a chest and come across more Yokai such as an Aberrant Soldier, Nure-Onna, and a Dweller. After killing the yokai, continue further and you'll find yourself in a tower where you'll find the source of the dark realm, the Namahage that's in the middle. Kill it so you can dispel the dark realm.

After killing the Namahage, go outside towards the nearby door where you'll see a broken bridge. You'll find the seventh Kodama just by the corner on the right. After grabbing the Kodama, go back inside the room and pull the lever that's inside. this will cause the bridges within the tower to rotate.

The ninth Kodama can be found on the left side of the entrance of the room that leads to the boss - if you're prepared, open the door ahead where the boss awaits.

Boss Battle: Shuten Doji

The boss for this mission is Shuten Doji. This boss wields a sword and uses fire-based attacks. His movements are a bit slow which will be easy for you to observe and track his moves and attacks, however, you want to make sure you don't get hit because his attacks inflict a lot of damage. Apart from that, in the course of the battle, he will keep drinking which causes him to stumble and act like a drunkard. When this happens, he'll be vulnerable to attacks and open for a free grapple.

Whenever he unleashes a burst attack where a red glow appears, you'll want to make sure you exploit this and burst counter it to stop him from either grabbing you which deals a huge amount of damage or to counter his projectile attack where he'll spray out a stream of fire from his mouth. Once he conjures the dark realm, his attacks will be empowered and he'll gain another attack where he whips his hair in a circular motion. When he does this, you'll want to run further away from him to avoid getting hit by the flames that appear around him.
