Welcome to my Way of the Samurai 3 FAQ. I know it isn't much to look at,
but I sincerely help it will be useful to you as you play this fantastic
game. It feels like this FAQ is pretty big already, but there's so much
stuff to do and see and find in Way of the Samurai 3, I fear it's going
to get much, much bigger.
I've tried my best to assemble of the pertinent information in a clear,
organized manner. If you have any trouble finding something, please
let me know. Again, I hope this FAQ is helpful to you and—much more than
that—I dearly hope you have as much fun with Way of the Samurai 3 as I do.
\\\\\\ Game Information | WotS3-02D /////
Way of the Samurai 3 is an action-based Samurai simulator (that's right,
I'm calling this a sim) released on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles

There is currently no announcement regarding a possible European release.
\\\\\\ Contact Information | WotS3-02D /////

/ |___________________________| \
Gamers new to the series might be a bit confused by a Way of the Samurai
game. The world is small, you can beat the game in a few hours and, let's
face it, it's not exactly the prettiest world out there. Way of the Samurai
games are unique in that they are able to actually do what western developers
have been bragging about doing (while not getting anywhere close) for years:
they present players with choices and consequences.
Way of the Samurai 3 allows you to live, for a brief while, as a masterless
samurai—a ronin—in the waning years of the Sengoku period—the era of warring
states, a period of intense civil warfare that lasted nearly a century. The
choices you make in the game effect not only yourself, but everyone you
encounter. As such, I think it is best for you, the player, to go into the
game not necessarily knowing what you're going to do. I think a guide is
ultimately detrimental to the experience, and I therefore STRONGLY
recommend that you do NOT use the following ending guide.
The best way to enjoy the game is to simply keep a sheet of paper handy, and
each time you complete a game, write down the ending number you attained.
Play your heart out and when, finally, you can't figure out how to find those
remaining endings—when it seems you've exhausted every choice presented—then,
and only then should you seek your answers here.
\\\\\\ Ending 01 | WotS3-02A /////
1. In the opening scene, when you are approached by the two peasants,
choose the first dialog option. (“I've been better.”)
2. When waking up in Takatane Village, view the scene with Munechika
in its entirety. (Leave the house and when the scene starts,
don't draw your blade or prostrate yourself.
3. View the scene with Kota in the rice field (in Takatane Village).
When prompted, choose the first dialog option. (“Calm Down.”)
4. Go to Amana Castle and request employment. Participate in the
the tournament and win (obviously).
5. Go to Castle Minori (the Ouka castle). Speak to the guard at the
gate and choose the first dialog option. Watch the cut-scenes
without drawing your sword or kneeling down. You will then be
standing at the front of the gate near three other NPCs. Speak
to the fat one.
6. Go to Castle Minori and watch the scene with Yuma. Choose the
second dialog option.
!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!
After this point, you cannot return to Castle Minori without triggering
an automatic event—so do NOT go back until told to do so, or you will
fail to obtain the ending.
!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!
7. Visit Kuchihagahara at night and find Shinnosuke. You'll find him
at the small shrine on the cliff overlooking the battlefield,
along the path toward Minori Castle. Watch the scene.
8. Go to Kuchihagahara again. Watch the scene with Shinnosuke and
Yuma. After the scene, leave the area without speaking to him.
9. Once more, to Kuchihagahara. Now watch a scene between Shinnosuke
and Osei. Once the scene is done, leave the area.
10. Again, go to Kuchihagahara. Speak to Shinnosuke and choose the
second dialog option.
11. Go to The Road. Go up to the temple and view the scene with the
strange man wearing green.
12. Go to Takatane Village and speak to Kota. Choose the third speech
option to view the scene.
13. Now, head to Amana Castle. Watch the scene with Shinnosuke. Choose
the second dialog option.
14. Once again, go to Kuchihagahara. Speak to Shinnosuke and choose the
first dialog option.
15. View the event (it's automatic) about the impending Oda invasion.
16. Go to Munechika's house in Takatane village and watch the scene.
17. Go to Castle Minori. Speak to Genjuro, and choose the third dialog
option. Then go find Shinnosuke and speak with him. He should
give you a small box.
18. Go back into the castle and choose the first dialog option to fight
Yuma. Reverse your blade so you do not kill him. After you defeat
Yuma (again, without killing him) watch the scene. Leave the
Castle to watch the victory scene.
19. Return to Takatane Village. Go to Munechika's house. Run past
Shinnosuke to watch the scene. Choose the first dialog
option when you have the opportunity.
20. One more time, to Kuchihagahara! Watch the scene and choose the
third dialog option. Keep watching, and you'll see two more
dialog options. For both of those, choose the first choice.
21. It's now time for the final battle. Don't get yourself killed,
and you'll be treated to the ending.
\\\\\\ Ending 02 | WotS3-02B /////
NOTE: Because of the nature of this ending, large dialog trees have to be
written out for the walkthrough. What that means to you is that here you may
find mild spoilers for the story. Read at your own peril.
1. In the opening scene, when you meet with the two peasants, choose the first
dialog option.
2. After waking up in Takatane Village, view the scene with Munechika. Speak
with him afterward and choose the third dialog option.
3. View the scene with Kota in the rice field (in Takatane Village).
When prompted, choose the first dialog option. (“Calm Down.”)
!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!
To obtain the second ending, you'll have to build a relationship with Osei.
You must speak to her at every opportunity, and choose your words carefully.
Essentially, you need to be mature and respectful. The dialogs are in a
random order, so if you need help, I've provided FULL transcripts of all
the dialogs, including the proper responses you will need to choose in
order to progress the relationship. The “Samurai” is YOU. Remember, the
different conversations will come in a RANDOM order.
Dialog #1
Osei: “I like the people from this village. Everyone is warm and
inviting. It's such a stark contrast to the samurai, who
live to destroy and steal from the innocent. Samurai don't
ever stop to think about how their actions effect those whom
they victimize.”
Samurai: >Whining won't solve anything.<
Osei: “Then what do you suggest we do?”
Samurai: >Deal with it.<
Osei: “We are! What else can we do? We don't know how to fight, nor
do we want to. We just want to live in peace....”
Samurai: >Don't use weakness as an excuse!<
Osei: “Hm... Maybe... You may be right. I have been using our
weakness as an excuse to just complain. I may have been going
about things in the wrong way. I'll start thinking about ways to
improve our lives without using force.”
Dialog #2
Osei: “I wish all samurai would disappear from the world... That would
stop the fighting. If there weren't any samurai, the world would
be a better place.”
Samurai: >You're absolutely right.<
Osei: “You're a samurai, and yet you think the samurai should disappear?
If you really think so, why don't you get rid of your weapon and
become a farmer?”
Samurai: >Samurai are a necessary evil.<
Osei: “Necessary evil? So you're saying that in a war-torn world, we
need people who can fight? Perhaps you're right. I do live in
reality too. Still... I want to live in a world without samurai.
I've had it with wars.”
Samurai: >I fight for that future.<
Osei: “Are you serious? Incredible. I've never heard a samurai say such
a thing. You're quite the unusual samurai....”
Dialog #3
Osei: “The flames of war are spreading destruction across the land.
There are so many people seeking refuge in our village. War
victims aren't just the bodies left on the battlefield, but
also the people caught in the middle. How many people must die?”
Samurai: >Until there is peace.<
Osei: “But, war brings hatred. And, hatred brings new hate... If you
continue fighting, peace will never come... Don't you
understand?”
Samurai: >Peace will come once the country is united.<
Osei: “Unification of the country... How long will that take? Until
then, how many more lives must be lost? I want the suffering to
end as soon as possible.”
Samurai: >I'll save as many as I can.<
Osei: “Are you serious? That's a first. You're probably just telling me
what I want to hear, though. If you really mean what you just
said, then I'll pray for you. Even if it ends up being just
one person... please save them.”
Dialog #4
Osei: “The sight of a sword in this village if frightening to many of
the children here. Please do your best to keep such a scary
weapon out of their sight.”
Samurai: >I'll be careful.<
Osei: “Thank you. There are children here whose parents were killed
by samurai. So, please don't upset them.”
Samurai: >Oh...<
Osei: “Oh? You probably had something to do with it. And if not you,
then someone you know. How many more tears must be shed?”
Samurai: ><
...unfinished. Please give me some more time to figure this one out.

><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<| The Way of the Samurai WotS3-03 |>>>>>>>>>>>>>><
/ |___________________________________| \
The Way of the Samurai is, on the surface, the Way of War. Beyond that,
it's a way of living that emphasizes honor, duty, and self-sacrifice—and
the gameplay of Way of the Samurai 3 does well to emphasize that philosophy.
Simply put, there is no greater Samurai simulation.
\\\\\\ Combat | WotS3-03A /////
Attack:
A weapon attack consists of either a weak attack (square) or a strong
attack (triangle).
Jump:
Press the circle button to jump. Press either the square button or the
triangle button while in the air to perform a jump attack.
Special Move:
Press the left stick along with the R1 and circle buttons to step in
the direction the left stick is tilted. If you press only the R1 button
and the circle button, you will simply step forward.
Defend:
Press the R1 button to defend against an opponent's attack. Some attacks
cannot be defended against.
Push:
Press the left stick (toward your opponent) and the square button to
break through an opponent's defense. If successful, the opponent will
be put into an off-balanced state.
Pull:
Press the left stick (away from your opponent) and the R1 button to
pull through an enemy's attack. If successful, the opponent will be
off-balance. This will only work when the opponent does a push attack.
Kick:
Press the R1 button and the square button to kick. Kicking causes
minimal damage, but there's no defense against it.
Throw:
Press the R1 button and the triangle button to throw an opponent. As
with kicking, there's no defense against it.
Parry (Match):
Parry is a special defense technique where you press the R1 button
right when your opponent's weapon is about to strike you. If you are
successful at parrying an opponent's strong attack, your character will
glow yellow for a brief second and there's a chance you'll Match the
skill. Once you have Matched the skill, you'll automatically Parry that
opponent's skill attack when it strikes you.
Instant Kill (Hit Satsu):
When you successfully Parry, there is a chance the Glimpse of Death will
occur with the X button displayed on the screen. When you successfully
press the X button while it's present on the screen, you will be able to
kill your opponent with a single strike, regardless of your opponent's
HP. The Glimpse of Death will not occur on certain strong opponents.
Chain Kill (Ren Satsu)
When you are successful in an Instant Kill, you will be in the state of
Chain Kill. While you are in this state, you will continuously be able
to kill your opponents with Instant Kill. Being approached by the
opponents will activate the Glimpse of Death, and pressing the button
that is displayed (either square, circle, X or triangle) successfully,
will Instant Kill an opponent.
Skill Attributes
Other than the normal skills of slashing and stabbing, there are skills
certain attributes (see the list below). By using these attributes at
the right moment, you can take advantage of the situation.
Float: Throws your opponent into the air.
Blast: Throws your opponent backwards.
Strike: Bash your opponent.
Throw: Throw and possibly strike your opponent.
Counter: Counter an attack.
Multi-Hit: Land multiple attacks at once.
Break Defense: Breaks your opponent's defense.
Hold Button Down: Charge for a period of time to increase attack power.
Main Character's Growth
Skills which you have learned and matched will not be forgotten even
after you have ended the game. Also, with the Samurai Points you have
earned at the end of the game, there are additional stances you can
learn. All of these growth elements of the main character can continue
on to future game playthroughs.
Fighting Groups and Order
In a battle with multiple opponents, the order in which you will be
facing each one is already predetermined. The opponent you currently
face will have a target icon above him or her. When you want to change
the order of the opponents you wish to fight, lightly tap the R2 button
and your targeted opponent will change.
Running Away from Battle
As you enter a battle, you will lock onto the opponent and the camera
angle will be changed to battle mode. When you want to put some
distance between yourself and your opponent, or if you wish to run
away, hold down the R2 button and move around.
Blunt Attack (Nasa Ke)
When you don't want to kill the opponent, you can press the Select
button to reverse your blade and use Blunt Attacks. After you have
defeated the opponent with a Blunt Attack, they are knocked out but
not killed. Also, while you're in Blunt Attack mode, although you will
still be able to Parry your opponent's attack, the Glimpse of Death will
not activate. If you press the Select button again, you will reverse
the blade back to its original, lethal position.
Apologizing in Battle
Even if you are in battle, as long as you hold down the L2 button, you
will be able to apologize by prostrating yourself on the ground. Whether
or not your apology will be accepted, however, depends on the situation
and your opponent.
Apologizing in Dialog
Apologizing in dialog is a fairly pointless affair. It results, simply,
in you “missing” an event. If you apologize during a scene, it will be
as if you never saw the scene at all. If you simply want to skip the
scene, press the Select button to skip through it (skipping with the
Select button allows you to skip a scene while still having that scene
count towards your ending).
Obtaining Items
By defeating the opponent, there's a chance the person will drop an
item or weapon part. Also, if you go near a dead body and press the X
button, you can search the body and check if the person has any items.
However, this act can decrease the fondness of NPCs around you. You
are unable to search knocked-out bodies.

Weapon Durability:
Every weapon has durability. Each time you block or strike, the
durability gauge for that weapon will increase. If you do not take
any action, the gauge will gradually decrease. If the durability gauge
goes over the limit of the durability bar, the durability of that weapon
will decrease by one. Once you reach zero, the weapon will break. You
can increase the durability and repair your broken weapon at the
Blacksmith.
Weapon Growth:
Your attack and defense is determined by the ability of your weapon.
A new weapon is obtainable by either picking one up from a defeated
opponent, buying from a merchant, or through forging your own weapon
at the Blacksmith. You can improve the abilities of your weapon by
upgrading at the Blacksmith or using certain items. By using your
weapon, it will gain experience and level up. Once the level of the
weapon goes beyond a certain point, you will be able to learn new
skills. Additionally, once the level of the weapon reaches its maximum,
the durability will become infinite, making the weapon unbreakable.
Learning Skills and Stances:
Every weapon has a stance assigned to it. In every stance, there are
unlockable skills that can be learned through battle or using certain
items. Commands for the skills you have learned can be viewed in the
Skills Learned Screen in the Profile of the Main Menu. Once you have
gained enough Samurai Points and achieve the Dual Sword Stance, you
will be able to use the Dual Sword and Ninja Dual Sword Stances.

In Way of the Samurai 3 there are several NPCs who you can “partner”
with. They will fight along side you and occasionally comment on what
you are doing, and what the people you meet along your journey do.
Through your interactions with your partner, you can build up an
affinity—a relationship—that culminates in a romance. Fall in love
hard enough, and you'll soon find yourselves living together.

sword. Speak to her again and tell her that, “You have reason
to kill me.” Then, speak to her a third time. She will say that
she does not know what to do with her life. You can either tell

><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<| Mini-Games WotS3-05 |>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><
/ |___________________________| \
Vegetable Toss
Location: Takatane Village & Castle Minori
Time: Morning to Evening
Reward: 300 Yen
This is a pretty simple game... the peasant woman will toss
daikon (radishes) into the air for you to cut. She'll also
toss Jizo (giant stone statues) at you, which can take out about
250 HP if they hit you. The important thing is timing. Choose
your action when the object being thrown at you is at the height
of its arc—before it starts to come down. If it's a statue, push
the left analog stick up to dodge. If it's a radish, square to
slice. If there are multiple daikon incoming, tap the square
button rapidly to perform a simple combo.
Tuna Filet
Location: Amana Castle
Time: Morning to Evening
Reward: 300 Yen
This mini-game can be a bit annoying, but at least you won't
get a game over if you lose. You need to slice up a giant tuna,
but simply mashing square (usually) won't do the trick. You need
to cut the fish on either side, so cut until you start missing,
and then move around to the other side of the fish and keep
hacking away 'till the job is done.
Temple Bell
Location: The Road
Time: Morning to Evening
Reward: 300 Yen
This is a nice and easy game. Once again, it's all about timing.
You'll be moving the left analog stick to the right and to the
left—keep your eye on the indicator at the bottom of the screen.
Keep swinging from side to side until your able to get the bar
inside the red area (the closer you are to the far left, the
higher your score). Press X when the bar is fully extended to
the left. The closer you are to 100%, the higher your score, and
the higher your score, the more money you will earn.
Making Mochi
Location: Takatane Village
Time: Morning to Evening
Reward: 300 Yen
A very simple mini-game, the hardest part is getting a partner.
Anyway, simply follow the onscreen prompts and try to hold a
steady rhythm. Remember, you'll only ever need to press the
analog stick down, so focus on the face buttons you'll need
to press.
Bare-Handed Sword Dance
Location: The Road
Time: Morning to Evening
Reward: 300 Yen
This can be a tough one. Like the vegetable toss, failure
here means death—not the best way to get a game-over. Just
be sure to save before starting this one, and you should be fine.
You'll need to have a partner before playing this game, by the
way. Anyway, the object is to catch your partner's sword mid-
swing. You do this by pressing the analog sticks close together.
As with the vegetable toss, try to time yourself with the arc
of the blade. It may take some time for you get the timing
worked out.
___________________________
\ | | /
><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<| Jobs WotS3-06 |>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><
/ |___________________________| \
You'll be able to earn money and respect in Amana by completing various
jobs. There are four people in the game that act as sources for these
jobs. Misae, an elderly woman who can be found near your house in
Takatane village; Oryo, in Omiki Town; Joji, in Castle Minori; and
Kiyonari, in Amana Castle.
If you anger a faction sufficiently, you may be tasked with a relatively
straight-forward job to earn yourself back into their good graces. If, for
example, you find yourself on the wrong side of the Fujimori Clan, Kiyonari
will give you the job of killing 100 Ouka Clan warriors at Kuchihagahara.
These jobs aren't jobs, per se, but rather redeeming actions you can take
so that you can access a certain jobs after being cut off for misbehavior.
\\\\\\ Misae's Jobs | WotS3-06A /////
Job #1: Misae's Underwear!
Description:
“Find Misae's favorite underwear that she dropped somewhere in
Kuchihagahara. It is inside her Furoshiki, a wrapped cloth. Find it
and return it to Misae.”
Tips: “Watch out for the sneaky crows!”
How-To:
The Furoshiki is small and round like a stone, so it can be very
hard to see. It's pale-green in color, and can typically be found
along the road leading toward the Ouka fortress (the path with
the small shrine and bridge). I also sometimes appears near the
exit to Amana Castle. Be careful on your way back, as the crows
will attack you to steal the underwear (God only knows why). To
avoid the crows, simply move in a zig-zagging line. If you're
paying attention, you shouldn't have any trouble.
Job #2: Wave of Silver Blades!
Description:
“Eliminate 100 outcasts accused of trying to steal money from the
villagers. Proceed to the Guard Gate and get rid of them all in
order to win back the villagers' trust.”
Tips: “A samurai never flees from battle.”
How-To:
...coming soon.
Job #3: Can You Eliminate 100?
Description:
“A gang of outcasts arrived at the Guard Gate, and the villains are
plotting a crime against Amana. Go there and dispose of them in
order to win back the villagers' trust.”
Tips: “A samurai never flees from battle.”
How-To:
...coming soon.
Job #4: Runaway Children
Description:
“Three children ran away from home after being scolded because of
their recent pranks. Proceed to the Guard Gate and find the children.”
Tips: “Be careful with the kids and keep moving.”
How-To:
Yikes. Boy can this be a frustrating mission. First off, you need to
know that there are children in Guard Gate who are NOT part of the
group you're seeking, including Takatane Mask. Both are near the
Tea House. The children you're looking for are called Brother, Younger
Brother, and Sister. You'll find them hiding behind various things
at random spots along the edge of the area. Just be patient and
methodical and don't forget to closely inspect the areas near the exit.
Job #5: Punish the Food Thief!
Description:
“A Jumbo Radish grown with loving care by the villagers has been
stolen. The thief is a man from Omiki Town. Use Blunt Attack to
properly punish him.”
Tips: “Don't kill.”
How-To:
It doesn't matter what dialog you choose, or even if you try to
speak to the criminal at all. The moment you end conversation
(or attack him) he will start running. He will NOT leave the
area, so you've got plenty of time. He will occasionally pause
to catch his breath. If he goes toward an exit, simply back
away and he will come running back. Try to fight him away
from other people—sometimes a wandering ronin will decide
to join in the fight, and kill the criminal. I would
recommend seeking out the criminal at night.
Job #6: Are we there yet?
Description:
“Misae is not feeling so well today. Push her gently to her
destination. Colliding with her three times will result in failure.”
Tips: “Don't draw your sword.”
How-To:
A mildly easy job, the hardest thing here is simply being patient.
It can help to push the wrinkly old bag against a wall so you can
prod her forward a bit more efficiently. Just keep your thumb
nice and gentle and you shouldn't have too much trouble.
Job #7: Village Girl Rescue Operation!
Description:
“Rescue the girl who's been kidnapped due to her father's debt
to the bandits. The bandits can be found on The Road.”
Tips: “Be sure to escort her safely.”
How-To:
Go to The Road and head toward the two men who want you to do the sword
catching mini-game. Head down the stairs and through the small tunnel
and deal with the bandits however you see fit. They will wake up if you
get too close to them, so I suggest waking them up one at a time and
leading them away to beat 'em up. Once that is done, speak to the girl
who you will find either inside the hut, or behind the barrels to the
side. Tell her you're there to rescue her, and then lead her back
through the tunnel and up the stairs. When you reach the top of the
stairs, the job will end.
Job #8: Stop the War!
Description:
“A conflict between Fujimori and Ouka Clan has developed in
Kuchihagahara. Suppress the fight, or the tax collector will show
no mercy.”
Tips: “???”

Description:
“The farmers have been suffering oppression from the Fujimori Clan.

into thugs and headed for Omiki Town. Stop them at any cost.”
Tips: “You don't need to get into unnecessary fights.”
How-To:
...coming soon.
Job #10: Assassinate Lord Shuzen!
Description:
“Shuzen Fujimori has been oppressing the villagers with severe taxes.
According to an informer, Lord Shuzen will be in Omiki Town tonight.
Go there and kill him!”
Tips: “Lord Shuzen would probably stay somewhere nice for the night.”
How-To:
...coming soon.
Job #11: Misae's Challenge!
Description:
“Misae is challenging you to a duel! She'll have no regrets,
whatever the results. Proceed to Kuchihagahara tonight.”
Tips: “Fight like you mean it, if you want to stay alive.”
How-To:
...coming soon.
\\\\\\ Oryo's Jobs | WotS3-06B /////
Job #12: Oryo's Errand!
Description:
“Deliver a letter to Kiyonari's servant. The servant will be waiting
outside Amana Castle. After delivering the letter, report back to
Oryo.”

is alive.”
How-To:
...coming soon.
Job #13: Bloodshed in Kuchihagahara!
Description:
“100 fed-up farmers are planning to rise in retaliation in Omiki Town.
Before it starts, head down to Kuchihagahara and defeat them all. It's
a test to regain trust from the townspeople.”

Job #14: Blood for False Accusations!
Description:

How-To:
...coming soon.
Job #15: Silence the Big Mouth!
Description:
“A Fujimori minion has been bragging about his new weapon. Proceed
to Amana Castle and break his weapon as punishment.”
Tips: “The green spear looks cheap, and defending just might be the key.”
How-To:
Just like the in-game tip says, don't bother attacking. Simply
keep your guard up and let the poor sap break his own spear.
Job #16: Beauty and the Beast!
Description:
“A village girl was kidnapped by a vicious outcast. Proceed to the
old temple at The Road and punish him.”
Tips: “Not all who are kidnapped are thankful after being rescued.”
How-To:
...coming soon.

A quick guid to the terms involved here: the “Day” is the day when
the item is available for purchase at said shop. If there's just a single
number, that means that on that day, and on all the days following that day,
you will be able to find that particular item in that particular shop. If
there's an X before the number, that means “multiple.” For example, “Day x5”
means you can find the item in that store on day 5, and on every day that
is a multiple of five—10, 15, 20, etc.

\\\\\\ Sword List | WotS3-08A /////
There are a TON of different weapons in the game, and—face it—neither
you nor I care much about most of 'em. This list will deal solely with
the unique, special swords that you are likely to specifically seek
out.
Keep in mind that weapon stats are partially RANDOM. That means that
a specific sword, when found, can have different stats each time
you obtain it—usually on a scale of plus or minus ten to fifteen.
The stats I have listed are example stats, so don't be too concerned
if you find a sword that's a bit different than what I've listed here.
Sword: Muramasa (1/3)
Attack: 38 Defense: -37
Weight: 0 Durability: 3
This is a nice, red-bladed Ninja sword you can obtain by killing
Otome, the shabby old woman who appears at The Road around Day 15.

><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<|Cheats & Extras WotS3-09 |>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><
/ |___________________________| \
While there are no cheats per se, there are a number of different... shall
we say “unethical” tactics you may employ to make the game a bit easier
for you. Remember, you've got nothing to lose here... but your moral
character.
Easy Samurai Points:
Everything you unlock in the game, accessories, skins, special
options, new difficulties, etcetera, are obtained by earning
a specific number of Samurai points. And, lucky for us, there's
a simple method to unlock EVERYTHING in the game within fifteen
minutes. Simply start out a new game and, when confronting the
peasants, either tell them to go away, or draw your sword.
Then go to Takatane Village. Steal a radish from the fields and
eat it. Then go down to the shop and draw your sword. DO NOT
ATTACK. Wait for the guard to kill you. You should get the
Vegetarian title, which nets about 700 Samurai Points on normal,
1000 on hard, and 1200 on instant-kill difficulties. Simply repeat
until you get the “message from the developers,” which will
inform you that everything is unlocked.
Never Lose Money
Buying stuff can be pretty expensive—and upgrading weapons even more
so. Tired of seeing your stash constantly dwindling? Simply kill the
merchant when your business with them is concluded. If you spend
12000 yen upgrading your weapons at the blacksmith, you can kill
the blacksmith and get your 12000 Yen back—along with his hammer and,
if you loot the corpse, possibly an item, too.
Finding the Fabled Merchant:
The Fabled Merchant sells some very nice stuff, but can be a bit
hard to find. He only appears in his boat (in the waterfall pool
at The Road) after you've seen three events. View four events,
and he'll be gone until you see a sixth event. To keep him there
as long as you like, simply view three events and no more. Remember,
if you have a job active, events will NEVER start—not so long as the
job is active, of course.
500 Yen Every Day:
This isn't so much a cheat, as it is a little-known aspect of the game.
When you take over the Ouka Clan (join the clan, wait for Yuma and
Itsuse to leave the room, and then kill Genjuro) you'll also get
access to the castle's coffers. The next day, visit the Ouka job
broker. Every day he'll give you as much as 1000 Yen. Repeat as often
as you desire—but be careful, if you get caught up in any Inkling,
the story will quickly progress and you will lose all access to the
Broker.

><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<| F.A.Q. WotS3-11 |>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><
/ |___________________________| \
Q: I can't find Way of the Samurai 3 anywhere! What should I do?
A: Cross your fingers and pray. There seem to have been some very
serious distribution problems with Way of the Samurai 3, so this
is a common problem. You can check your local stores, but odds are
you won't find any copies—I can only recommend that you check online.
Personally, after trying and failing three times to find a copy at
Gamestop, I went ahead and ordered from Amazon.com.
Q: How do I unlock new faces, clothing and accessories?
A: Play the game and don't be an ass. No, really. You'll unlock new
items to customize your character based upon how many Samurai Points
you earn once you finish a game. Keep in mind that evil deeds will
ultimately subtract from your Samurai Points—so you'll have to play
nice if you want a reward.
Q: How do I avoid losing Samurai Points?
A: Act as a “true” Samurai would—don't go picking fights. Don't go around
murdering people. Apologize if you do something wrong. And if you must
fight, you don't have to kill—remember, you can use the blunt side
of your sword!
Q: How do I give an item to an NPC?
A: Approach an NPC so that the NPC's name is visible. Then go into your
item menu, select the item you which to give, and select “give.” That
item will then be given to the NPC you have “selected.”
Q: How do I play as an NPC?
A: Finish a game with more than 6000 Samurai Points, and you will have
the option to play as an NPC the next time you go into the Character
Creation menu.
Q: Why isn't this FAQ finished yet?
A: Because I'm just one, lone sop, and in case you haven't realized it yet,
this game is bloody gigantic! I've soaked a lot of time into it already,
but I tell ya' ...it feels like I've only scratched the surface.
Q: Would you accept help with this Guide?
A: Almost certainly. If you can contribute something (several people have
already done so) simply e-mail me. Anything, no matter so small, is
fine. So long as it's not information I already have, I'll be more
than glad to use your information and credit you accordingly.
