Okami Cheats & Tips

Tired of searching for food? Well, after the Kamiki Village Festival, go to Mr. & Mrs. Orange's house, talk to each of them. Mrs.Orange Will Give You Some Cherry Cakes, and then keep talking to Mr.Orange, he will give you baked oranges on a stick 3 times. Use Sunlight Followed By Cresent. Reapeat The Process Till' The Astral pouch is full.

Instead of looking for buried treasures in the day, do it during night, this way there will be a ray of light that will show you where is a treasure chest buried!

If u look at the ground u can sometimes see something that looks like a ring. Dig it up.

(Please note you must have access to sei-an city after the fog is lifted)
To get this powerful technique, first talk to the tea merchant at the start of Taka pass, he will say that a bunch of moles stole his prized teacup.

Next, go straight forward in the direction of the weird house on the map (DO NOT TURN BUT KEEP GOING FOWARD) and you will find a bunch of holes along the way, the moles will pop up and start a sort of mini-game (afterwards you can play for treasure) and you have to headbutt the mole dressing in blue 3 times, after that he will throw out a yellowish item, pick it up and go back to the tea merchant.

The tea merchant will thank you and give you some 'Golden Mushrooms' Next its off to Sei-an city. The first part of the city is where you get the technique, its located in a restaurant (you may need to search) but when you go to the far right of the building, you should see a giant pot-like thing with a chef below it, talk to him and give him the mushrooms.

Next is the tricky part, when the camera does a close up of the pot, quickly draw an infinity symbol (a sideways 8) and Moegami will appear shortly after, giving you the power of Firestorm!

My real user is Twilight_Okami if your wondering, message me if you'd like to say thanks.

when battling the kusa 5 try to buy as many exorcism slips as you can (large works best) use these and you should allow the battle to go faster/or weaken your oponent so much that you won't have to waste as much time finishing them off.

Onimaru the Incorrigible: Shinshu Field, near the Nameless Man's house

Biwamaru the Vandal: Shinshu Field, immediately outside the Moon Shrine

Akuzo the Interloper: Shinshu Field, near the Nameless Man's kilns

Izo the String Cutter: Shinshu Field, on the beach by the Pyotechnist's house

Toya of the Short Temper: Shinshu Field, in the vicinity of the Origin Mirror.

NOTE: All these monsters can only be found at night.

During a battle. You can escape the fight to preserve you're health and energy. During a battle, search for a screen light around the walls. Attack it a couple times, a portal will open up to get you out of the fight.

This is very useful when you are low on health.

This is a secret that can olny be done during the festival after killing Orochi. Go to the sacred tree in Kamiki Village. Go inside it and then follow the apth to the giant statue of Susano's ancestor.
The couple will be standing in front of the statue. There'll be hearts coming from their head. If you talk to them they will begin to mummble in embarrasment.

Once you have saved the person with the poison coming out of his mouth, speak to him and you will find out he collects demon fangs. Get 80 then buy the pot. You will get a brush technique so when you draw a cross over a origin mirror and you can chose to go to any of the origin mirrors in the Game.

Anytime after you have completed the Dragon Palace go back again and enter the palace. Take a right down the corridor with the guard who says sorry about blocking you and lets you in. Go in and dig in the middle where the light is. It will open up a hole and now for a small minigame of sorts, but its worth.
You need to lead her to the very bottom, but they start you at the bottom, so you need to get all the way up and then lead her down. To get up start at the far right corner and start going up. Use bomb a lot (the quickest way is to place the bomb IN the squares since it will then detonate right away) and then when you reach her you need to use bombs to lead her down and use wind to get her over spiky ones. When she does get to the bottom dig where she indicates and the spring pops up.
Talk to the big lady again and she mentions how there is no whirly swirl. They then start running around in circles and you are then indicated to draw a swirl.
This swirl technique is "water sprout technique 2" which is equivalent to the mermaid coins! YAY!!!

To get the rain up-grade, go behind the queen's shrine where you will find a pond. An attendant will tell you to honor the queen's memory. What you are supposed to do is to use waterspout to on all 4 of the rocks rising out of the water towards the lake.
