Hint: Defeating Guard Dog:
Note: This was done under the normal difficulty setting. First, stock up on magic for all your weapons. Then, stock up on all the Purple Souls. At the beginning, jump behind him after he attacks. Then, just waste the magic on him. Use every weapons magic until you do not have any more. After that, use regular attacks. Watch out for the ice attack. Most of the time the thunder magic from him is off target. After a few regular attacks, transform into the Onimusha and attack him hard. However, do not use the mega attack yet. After a few attacks, just before your magic runs out use the mega magic attack on him. If he is not defeated, then just attack him a few more times.

Hint: Defeating Two Marquless:
When playing as Michelle, go further behind near the skull door and throw some grenades on them.

Hint: Kill all Genma onscreen:
This can be done without charging during an Onimusha. Also, block Issen works during an Onimusha and takes out all enemies.

Hint: Regain health:
Equip Ako's White Haori then stand still.

Hint: Bypass Dark Realms:
Any of the three Dark Realms can be easily bypassed. This requires some skill, Ako's Purple Vest, all weapons for the character, and all weapons been completely enhanced. Whether or not the gauntlet is completely enhanced is irrelevant. Before entering the Dark Realm, equip either Chigo (for Samanosuke) or Hyosai (for Jacques). The enemies that attack will appear in multiple waves. Just wait for all enemies to appear, then execute one magic attack. Absorb all the souls that appear. Ako's Purple Vest should allow you to do this as many times as necessary. However, if you are fighting large demons, you may need to get up close with either the Tenso (for Samanosuke) or the Enja (for Jacques). Note: A crucial part of this strategy is absorbing the souls. If you feel that you need Ako's Blue Vest as well, make sure to switch back and forth as appropriate. Also, it is much easier to go straight for the bottom part of the Dark Realm that you are in, as the tougher enemies are down there first. By doing this, you can use your magic efficiently on the tougher enemies and not have to worry about the weaker ones.

Hint: Unlimited Genma Souls:
Note: This trick only works for Samanosuke. Once you obtain the Ten-Point Slash Training Scroll, play under the beginner difficulty setting multiple times. Each time you finish, you should come away with one bar, or close to it. Do this until you have the desired amount of souls, or until you max all your equipment.

Hint: Use less magic during magic attacks:
This trick requires the gauntlet for Sam/Jacques to be at least level 2. Charge up the gauntlet to at least two and unleash a magic attack. With the purple vest on Ako you can do about five magic attacks in a row instead of four.

Hint: Hidden Secret Medicine:
When you are helping Michelle save her comrades, keep pushing the ball as far as possible. You will see a light in the water.

Hint: Easy Red Souls:
Ako's Red Haori is required this trick. When you get to the port town of Sakai and the demons come out to play, equip Ako's Red Haori. Start killing demons with Issen or Block Issen. Clearing each area of demons should give at least three quarters of a full soul bar. The port area is most lucrative (one full bar every time because of the fish demons). The Issen is not necessary, but it is most effective. You can upgrade all of you present weapons to full with this trick, since one level 2 weapon/equip requires about ten bars to level up to maximum.
