Shenmue is an adventure game from CRI's AM2 department and it is under a new game genre known as FREE [which stands for Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment.]. There is also an official website for the game. http://www.shenmue.com. This game is created by Yu Suzuki. There will be sixteen chapters for Shenmue. (well, this is going to make a big hole out of our wallets ^_^;). _____ / III \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Author's Note ======================================================================== Well, it has been a long time since I have written a new FAQ. I have brought Dreamcast during December 1999 and generally owned a couple of games. [which are all in Japanese ^_^]. Anyway, Shenmue is very stunning and realistic. The characters are well-sketched and there are many sub-games that add to its replay value. This game is rather costly but it is worth to be added to your collection. It has a couple of differences which is mentioned in the next few sections. BTW, the storyline is quite easy to understand even for a person don't understood any Japanese. [BTW, I have limited knowledge regarding to Japanese and most of the translations are done by my sheer guessing ^_^;]. I think that this game really deserves to be collected and it will definitely worth for the price tag. Additions for this revision: [Version 1.2] - Correct some of the errors and typos for walkthrough [until Disc 1] - Added the full list of movelists manual that you can find in the game. - Added a portion shopping list [for A Pu's store, Antique Shop and Tomato Mart in Dobuita] - Added the full music list playable at those junk boxes. - Added some more information regarding secrets in the game. Included the 70 men battle! - Added some more information regarding the Options menu and translations being made on the starting screen. What's coming up for next revision [Version 1.3] - Better translations for moveslist [currently, I am trying to translate them to English] - Miscellaneous corrections for translations [the game is in Japanese, hence corrections is need if necessary] - Miscellaneous corrections to misintepretations. - Complete the Shopping List! - Complete the Item Bestiary.

BTW, you should have two manuals. One of them is for the main game and the other one is meant for the Passport Disc. Note that you need to connect to the Internet through the Dreamcast in order to use the Passport Disc. I can't access to the Passport Disc as my Dreamcast is the Asian version which does not come with the internal modem. Therefore, I don't have much to say about the Passport Disc. Here you will find Dreamcast controller labelled as shown below. [Well it took quite a long time for me to come up with an ASCII Art for the Dreamcast controller ^_^;.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ASCII Diagram for Dreamcast Controller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ L button _ _ _ _ _________ _ _ _ _ _ R button __\__/ / ___ \ \__/_ / _ | | | | \ Analog _ _|_|_| | |___| | Y - |- - - Y button Stick | X B |- - - B button | D-Pad | A - |- - - A button Direction_ _|_/ \ |/_ _ | _ _ X button Pad | /\___/\____/\ | \ /______|______\ / \ / | \ / |_ _ _ _ Start button ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So what are their functions?

If there is anything that you wished to add, just contact me via my e-mail address found at the beginning of the document. _____ / 4.0 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Basic Tutorial ======================================================================== This section is specially created, just aid those whom having problem in understanding playing the game, especially the game is in a language that is not familiar to the user. Hence take some time to read this as it will help to resolve the problems that you might faced in the future. Here you will find the translations [well, not really 100% accurate as the game is in Japanese and acquired only a brief knowledge of Japanese] for the manual. If you have any corrections regarding the translations, please contact me via my mailbox as stated in the top part of the document. Okay, let's start off... _____ / 4.1 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Movement ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For a game like Shenmue compared with other games in Dreamcast, I was rather impressed with the excellent and realistic graphics. The graphics are nicely rendered and possess great sharpness [take note of the facial expressions of each people..]. The buttons that allows you to move your character Ryo is the D-Pad [in full, it mean Direction Pad]. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx UP UP causes Ryo to move forward. Note that Ryo LEFT RIGHT can't knock into walls/doors. Once there is DOWN something in your way, you need to make a turn. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DOWN causes Ryo to move in an opposite direction. LEFT allows Ryo to make a left-turn whereas RIGHT allows Ryo to make a right turn. To run, just hold down the [L] button and move with the D-Pad. Running will help Ryo to move much faster but it will be obstacle in tight- filled spaces such as corridors. Ryo could start to run while he has already to start walking. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In Disc 3, you will get a chance to drive a forklift where Ryo will be employed to get to work in a warehouse. To move around the forklift, here are basic controls: Press R button to move the forklift forwards. Press L button to move the forklift backwards. Press Left to turn the reel wheels leftwards. Press Right to turn the reel wheels rightwards. Press Up to use the horn. Press Square to activate the map that is given to you by Mark. You can also use the Analog stick to turn the reel wheels. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * The forklift has a low mobility. It can easily get jammed into tiny small areas. _____ / 4.2 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Action ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The (A) button will serve for this purpose. It will allow Ryo to make an action such as pulling out drawers, opening cupboards, knock on the doors, opening doors, talk to the townfolks and much more. The Action button also allows you to select items from your menu. During the conversation sequence, you will ocassionally see a red (A) icon next to the clock found in lower right end of the screen. Just press (A) to continue talking. You can terminate speeches but you will see Japanese at the lower end of the screen if you press (B) or do some adjustments under the Options Menu. Unlike other RPGs such as Final Fantasy VIII, you will see any message boxs in Shenmue.. [well, that could be an advantage as it allows you to view the surroundings without any difficulties. Actually for those whom missed the dialog boxes, you can proceed to the option screen to make changes. But if you press (B) to skip the dialogue, you will see Japanese on the lower section of the screen and this applies to the changes that you had made to the configurations.] Sometimes you may need to switch for first-person view mode to make contact that other located at the cellings [one good example is the lamplights in the house of Hazuki.] or people at their workplace. E.g. You need to switch first person view mode in order to talk to the lady working in the kiosk. _____ / 4.3 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Action Selector ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What is the key difference between this and Action feature of Shenmue? It typically gives you option boxes [found at the top left hand corner of the screen.] Instead of using Action button to excute the command, you can just press LEFT, UP, DOWN or RIGHT to make your option like choosing an item from the grocery shop, make a choice whether to play in the Arcade center, taking care of the kitten, etc. The action selectors occured while shopping at Tomato Marts and grocery shops. It also occured while during Ryo's quest in the search of clues. _____ / 4.4 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Search ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From my experience... Well during my first play, I did not pick up any items [coz, I always have an habit to start playing the game without refer to the manuals.] Of course, I know a lot about this when I firstly examined my manual ^_^;) and it took me quite a while to understand those Japanese letterings. Here is some tips regarding searching for items. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The search process is rather hard at the beginning. First of all, you need to activate the first person view mode [you will view the screen as it was from Ryo's point of view] as things were normally placed below Ryo's eyesight. So just hold down [R] and using the D-Pad to move the camera. Note that not all items can be picked up. But there are also items that you can picked but the item serves no purpose such as a kettle from the kitchen ^_^; Press (A) button to select the item, note that you may need to move the D-Pad to shift Ryo's hand to reach for the item. To exit from the search mode, just press (B) button. But for drawers/cupboards/removing paintings, you need to press (A), so that the items are back to their original position. Generally, there are two main situations and I give quite a detail description as listed below: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Situation 1: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Test-run... Well, you can perform a test run.. Let's have the Shenmue's cassette tape as the example. It is found at Ryo's desk in his room. First of all, hold down [R] button and press down on the D-Pad to view the desk. Next the view should be focusing on the cassettle. Press (A) to pick it up. Next press (A) and it will be added to your inventory. [the row where you find the watch's icon.] Certain items will be kept in the game. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Situation 2: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Special: There are also some key items.. But how is Ryo is going to use it? One good example is the old key that can be found in the drawer in his father's room. Once you reached the area where the item can be used, you will find a green (Y) or red (A) next to the clock found in low-right hand corner. Just press (Y) to open the menu and choose the item. Next press (A) to use that item. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _____ / 4.5 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Explaination on the Menu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For explainations of menus for IMPORT games, I will try to include an ASCII Art diagram to make my work easier in order to explain. It will be extremely tough for me to make ASCII icons for the item menu ^_^;, hence i have used abbreviations instead. [Don't worry, I have also included a short brief description about the icon.] Your menu screen should look something like this: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ASCII Art Diagram of the Menu xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ____________________________________ | W -|--- Item column [IC] |------------------------------------| | MC CO ML NB CL CAS SEGA CAL | |------------------------------------| | CASH 2600 yen | |------------------------------------| | -|--- Description column. [DC] |____________________________________| xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Starting from the top-left hand corner... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5a W a t c h ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviation: W Description: A watch-like icon will acts like a thumbnail for the actual watch. How to use it?: Use press (A) to select it (i.e. you will get a closer look of the watch). Choose (B) to exit and return back to the menu. What it does: Allows you to view the time from Ryo's watch. You will have a camera switched to Ryo's hand where you can read the time from the watch. As for how time is measured in the game, I myself believe 1 sec in the real time represents a minute in the game. The watch has an icon that appears on the low-right hand screen. There are some important factors regarding about time: - Ryo has to go back home by 11:30 pm. His alarm will go off and Ryo will be back at his room. Note that he will still continue the games in Game YOU until you have finished the game for that token. BTW, you can sleep in your home as early as 8 pm. - Shops have operating hours. For example, you would not see bars operating in the morning. Once it is time for the shop to close, Ryo will look at his watch and exit the shops. - The watch also includes a compass where the following abbreviations means: N North S South E East W West ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before I continued... Here are some important notes regarding item column. This column will be enlarged in area based on the number of items that you have collected throughout your adventure. It allows you to place items such as photographs, matchbox, keys, etc. It is just like an item inventory where items are kept when you play role-playing games. BTW, here is one thing that puzzles me: Have you ever wonder where are they kept? Note that you can viewed an enlarged version of them, by enlarged/minimized the item respectively and rotate them. Sometimes, you can also use them! Here are list of general controls of the items xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Button Basic Functions xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [R] Enlarged the item in view mode [L] Minimized the item in view mode D-Pad Rotates the item [the Analog stick can be used for this function too.] (B) Cancel (A)* Uses the item. * Not all items can be used! Items such as chocolate bars and photographs are only used for viewing. Hey, let's proceed back to the main topic! Abbreviation: VMU represents "virtual memory unit" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5b M e m o r y C a r d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviation: MC Description: Basically a minimized structure of Sega Dreamcast's VMU Memory Card. It looks like your memory card. How to use it?: Just press (A) to select the memory card and press left. Doing this, it will allow you to play from that spot and you will be brought to main screen and just choose Continue to resume the game. This feature only works for the first reset only. What it does: Continue from another "temporarily" saved file. Note that you need 80 blocks of memory space for the entire game. Occassionally, if you play the game for too long to be exact, you will experience glitches on the game. Note that you need to have a VMU inserted into Controller 1. * Why do AM2 has include this function? I guess it is due to graphics intensity. Hence you can reset and play from the spot that you have used this function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5c C o n t r o l l e r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviation: CO Description: Basically, it is a minimized symbol of Sega Dreamcast's Controller. How to use it?: Just use the D-Pad to highlight the options and press (B) to exit without changes and (A) to exit with the changes made. What it does: This feature allows you to change the game settings and button configuration. It allows you to switch the button configurations for [L]/[R] trigger and also the game options like experience speech with Japanese conversations under the Options menu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5d M o v e l i s t ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviation: ML Description: A scroll icon which has a green-blue covering. How to use it?: Just press (A) to use it. Next you can move along the movelist using the D-Pad and you find a short animation of Ryo using the moves. Note that trained skills will inflicit more damage. Press [R] button to switch the list from name of movelist to its button movement. Press (B) to exit from the list. Refer to Training section for more information on mastering of skills. Press [L] to enlarge Ryo to have a closer view. * ^ What it does: Allows you to view Ryo's movelist levels and what are skills that he has learnt/mastered. Skills that are not learnt will have black Japanese letterings. [notice that Ryo will not perform any animation.] * There is a shortcut feature in the fighting list. By press R during combat, it will allows Ryo to execute the move in a one-button movement. To enable this, just move the D-Pad to highlight the move that you want to have this feature, press (A) and you will see a [R] on top of the name of the move. Note that it will not have any effect during training. Instead, the [R] button only brings up the movelist. ^ In order to learn a new move, you use fighting manuals which can be found in buildings and bought from the Antique Shop. You can also learn a new move from a sensei such as Yamagi-san or Shou, etc. To use a fighting manual, just do the following: Step 1: Press (Y) to activate the menu and use D-Pad to highlight the desired manual Step 2: Press (A) to use the manual and you will get a shocking sound and a green flint over the screen saying that Ryo has mastered the move. Step 3: Exit the manual screen, i.e. back to the main menu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5e N o t e b o o k ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviation: NB Description: A brown-coloured notebook icon which has a pen located near it. [It is typically a shrink version of the notebook] How to use it?: Press (A) to activate it from the menu or (X) to select the notebook directly. Press Left/Right to flip the pages. Up/Down will move to the first/last written page respectively. Press (B) to exit from the screen. What it does: It allows you to view the messages that Ryo has noted down in his notebook.* * The notebook feature is EXTREMELY important while playing Shenmue. It keep tracks of your movement for the game. You will get messages added on the notebook and you will be allowed to proceed to the game. It is just like playing a role of a detective to gather clues and solutions for the problem. For example, you can't exit the house at the beginning unless you have talk to Fuk-san at the dojo. BTW, if you managed to get all messages on the notebook, you may be able to unlock hidden scenes between Ryo and his love interest, Harasaki which is the ultimate motive of the walkthrough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5f C o l l e c t i b l e L i s t ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviation: CL Description: A gold coloured, box-shaped icon with a huge C and L letterings on it. Well, I guessed that it stands for Collectibles List for short and used that as an abbreviation ^_^;) How to use it?: Press (A) to enter and you will see the list of collectible items such as toy models including SEGA creations such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles and members of Virtua Fighter. You can rotate the action figurine using D-Pad. [L]/[R] button to shrink/enlarge it respectively. Press (B) to exit. What it does: In Shenmue just like other kids, Ryo also kept toys. You can get them by buying from the toy vendor machines. You can also get a lucky draw if you buy a special product from the grocery store/Tomato Mart. But special toys such as Super Sonic can't be gotten from the "gotcha-gotcha" machines, when can be found in stores.* * Here is some stuff that you try to know while playing Shenmue Cost of each "gotcha-gotcha" try - 100 yen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5g C a s s e t t e T a p e s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviations: CAS Description: A small version of a green-coloured casette tape. How to use it?: Press (A) to enter and you will view a list of the tapes that you have currently found. Press (A) to select the tape that you wished to listen. [Note that you can't listen to any song without the casette recorder!] There are tapes which can be bought from shops such as Tomato Marts.* What it does: Hmm.. it just gives you the pleasure to listen to the themes in Shenmue. BTW, it is quite an efficient time-killer! * You can get two tapes and a recorder at Ryo's room [Refer to walkthrough for more details]. You can also access Tomu's radio found at his hot dog cart. You can also access to jukebox found in the office of Alpha Warehouse, Warehouse District's Tomato Mart and GameYOU. However, you need to pay 100 yen for one time usage. * You can get more casette tapes by winning in the lucky draws at Tomato mart. You need to get a Lucky draw Class 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5h S E G A I c o n ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviations: SEGA Description: A grey coin-like structure with the words SEGA engraved on it. How to use it?: n/a What it does: I found out that you can get a lot of these by winning a jackpot. The owner will give it to you when you are about to leave the room. [Actually, they will also give you back the remaining tokens.]. Each 100 yen can be exchanged for 5 tokens [costs 20 yen each]* * Can anyone who plays Shenmue tells me what are the usage of these coins? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5i C a l e n d a r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviations: CAL Description: A small calendar that corresponds to the one found in the doorway of Ryo's house. How to use it?: N/A What it does: It stated the date of the calender through month/day and also indicate the season.* * Yes! In Shenmue, you can experience autumn, winter, rain or shine! Not forgetting that you will experience day and night while on the streets, even inside the house! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5j C a s h N o t e ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abbreviations: CASH Description: Need me to explain this? Actually, it is a cash-shaped icon, which is brown in colour. How to use it?: N/A What it does: The amount [numeric digits on the right side of icon], indicates the current amount of money that Ryo has. You will start the game with 9800 yen [I believe that's the currency of the game as the game took place in Yokosuka] Ryo's housekeeper, Ine-san will always hand Ryo an envelope with 500 yen at the table once Ryo intends to proceed on with his journey. You will get quite a lot of cash later in the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ That's all for the explaination on the menu. Proceed to the Quick Timer Event. _____ / 4.6 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quick Timer Event (QTE) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ QTE stands for Quick Timer Event. It is an interactive system, that is included in this Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment game. It is a system that simply test on your reflexes. You will see an icon appearing in the middle of the screen, giving out a beep signal. It is rather simple and it allows Ryo to perform a series of acrobatic stunts! It just requires you to press a button [UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, A, B, X, Y]. You will see the button of the icon, which indicates which button is required to press. Normally, these sequences are automated and might even occur in the middle of the game. It is quite fun unlike the Free Battle Mode, well you need to take note of the health meter of Ryo's. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx General abbreviations use in the FAQ for QTE Section: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Blue (B) LEFT <-- Green (Y) UP Up Red (A) DOWN Down Yellow (X) RIGHT --> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you was being hit unconsicous by solid/metallic objects such as chairs, the QTE will be restarted before the QTE event begins. Meanwhile, you need to get used to this short-form, QTE as it will appear quite frequently in FAQ. (It seems that game creators start to use abbreviations more often.. as even Squaresoft is using it on new games such as FF8) _____ / 4.7 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Battle Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is one factor that I like about Shenmue. It is a combination of a series of game genre like RPG (you take the role of Ryo Hazuki), Adventure (you get to play in arcade games such as Space Harrier, Darts 7 and SEGA's Neo Darts), Sports (you get a chance to race with competitors in Hang On and a customized forklift race) and Fighting ( you get a chance to combat with competitors one-on-one and also the 70 men battle!). BTW, there is no gameovers in Shenmue! The Free Battle Mode focus mostly on the fighting section of Shenmue. In Free battle mode, you are allow to control your actions unlike QTE which is automated. The free battle mode is a battle mode where Ryo gets to fight against competitors such as Shou, Chai, etc. Ryo also gets the chance to battle against thugs like in a 1 against 3 situation. Unfortunately, the downside of the game is its short storyline but its nicely generated graphics and gameplay system allows you have more fun that you can imagine in Shenmue. As a descendant of Hazuki Clan, Ryo has already mastered some of moves but you need to train/sharpen your skills. Once you have mastered them, Ryo will become more powerful and stronger. You will be able to use the moves that you have acquired to play while playing this mode. You will find a health meter on lower-left corner, which is a circular orbs surround with green orbs which represents your health. Ryo will fall unconscious once all green orbs are gone. [i.e. the health meter has depleted to zero.] Unfortunatelty, the game does not shows the health meter of the enemy's! To win a match, you will must knocked opponent down! Once again, here is another refreshed view of the Dreamcast controller. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ASCII Diagram for Dreamcast Controller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ L button _ _ _ _ _________ _ _ _ _ _ R button __\__/ / ___ \ \__/_ / _ | | | | \ Analog _ _|_|_| | |___| | Y - |- - - Y button Stick | X B |- - - B button | D-Pad | A - |- - - A button Direction_ _|_/ \ |/_ _ | _ _ X button Pad | /\___/\____/\ | \ /______|______\ / \ / | \ / |_ _ _ _ Start button ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button: L button Function: This will cause Ryo to run. While running, Ryo can perform Running Moves. Running Moves are deadily as they can help Ryo to avoid enemy's attacks. It has a higher hit rate. BTW, you need to use this skill in order to win for the later battles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button: R button Function: It will bring up the Movelist menu during a Training Section. Refer to Movelist column under Explaination of the Menu section for more details. During Free Battle Mode, you will be able to execute the "checked" move (You must pressed (A) to check the desired move before you start the Free Battle Mode.) For example, You have "checked" the -> + (X) move with (A). Once you get into combat, just press [R] and you will execute the -> + (X). This feature is great as it allows Ryo to do complex move in a 1 button movement instead of two! It only applies to one skill. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button: Analog Stick Function: This rotates the camera view via Ryo's sight of view. [It is moving the view without Ryo moving.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button: Direction Pad [D-Pad] Function: It will move Ryo during combat. Note that Ryo must close to his opponent, in order to use throws and virtually any other form of attacks. There is no fireballs that Ryo can do! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button: Y button Function: It allows Ryo to defend/dodge against enemy's attacks. Well, Ryo can't block attacks [as you have seen in the opening scenario ^_^], hence this button allows Ryo to dodge the attack! But it is rather great when you want to get close to your opponent to perform throws. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button: X button Function: This button allows Ryo to execute his punch moves. If you press (X) repeatedly, Ryo can execute a series of combo chains and attacks! To excute other form of moves, you need make use of button movement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button: A button Function: It allows Ryo to execute his kick moves. If you press (A) repeatedly, Ryo can execute a spinning kick! To execute other kick moves, you need to make use of button movement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button: B button Function: It allows Ryo to perform throws while he is close to his opponent and it doesn't matter whether he is in front or behind the opponent's back. Button movement allows a wider series of moves. You can practise throw moves alone. But you can do it by having a training partner, e.g. Fukuhara and Kishou Chin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button: Start button Function: It brings up the Help Mode. If you are practising your moves, you will see the button configuration of what the buttons does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Okay, let's have a short briefing about Free Battle Mode. Unlike QTE, it is not a single button combat. Instead you will make use of button combinations such as Forward, (A). You will also have a health meter found on the lower left-hand corner. Ryo has three strengths of health ranging from green, yellow and eventually "blank". Unlike other battle modes, it is not a one-to-one duel. Instead, Ryo will battle a gang of enemies for certain sequences. In the game, there are certain moves that are remained locked. You need to find a sensei [teacher], buying from a shop or getting manuals to learn these moves. Or you can also choose to uncover the moves through practicing (Note: not all moves can be uncovered by practicing). Here is the list of movelist: * I need help! I need someone to translate the moves for the game. If you know the translations, please kindly sent it to kangning@mbox5.singnet.com.sg and credits will be given to you. * [Update 1.2] I have decided to translate the movelists to chinese. (which will sounds a bit better...). The moves applies to Ryo is facing right [he is on the left side of the screen] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notations ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (A) A button (X) X button [R] R button -> Forward (B) B button (Y) Y button <- Back , followed by + together with ' behind opponent ^ along the side [left or right] of opponent * in front of opponent [] translated by me, ^_^; !

Timing is critical as you need to "time" so that you can execute the move correctly. Ryo will move two steps followed by a knee and a jumping spinning kick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ __________________________ / Moves [Advanced/Specials]\____________________________________________ ======================================================================== Button Name Description ======================================================================== (X)+(A) [Dashing Punch] Ryo will perform a fast-pace slashing ! punch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ->, (X)+(A) [Double Palm Strike] Ryo will acquired this technique from Yamagi ! at the Suzume Park.

This will causes Ryo to execute a running slide kick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Some of the moves are not yet learnt and it will be better if you try to learn it during training sessions. When a sensei teaches Ryo, you may need a memory card as it includes the button movement on the VMU screen. Just execute the move once and the sensei will ask Ryo whether he need more training, just pick the left option to continue and right option to quit. ______________________________________________________________________ |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |List of Weapon Manuals | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Name of Movelist | Location of Manual | Cost | |---------------------|-------------------------------------|----------| | (to be translated) | You will find this manual at | n/a | | | Fuk-san's table.

I will try to add the remaining list of sensei once I have confirmed my doubts. _____ / 4.8 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Time Sequences / Magic Weather ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What makes Shenmue so realistic? It is due to change in the background according to day and night. Time is virtually important as it indicates the time when the shops will open or close and when Ryo gets to sleep or work! Ryo needs to back at home by 11:30 pm. Every minute represents approximately 1 second of actual time. Ryo will wake up from his room at 8:30 am. Until Disc 3 after he have gotten a job at Warehouse District, he needs to be awake by 7:30 pm. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sky colour in towns. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Morning Sky - blue/white : between 8:30 am to 3:00 pm. Afternoon Sky - orange/yellow: between 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm Night Sky - black/grey: between 6:00 pm to 11:30 pm. The lights will start to operate when it is 7:00 pm. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I, myself personally, think that the time sequence is an important factor as it varies the time when people will appear. For instance, you will find a man dressed in blue jeans with a black apron outside his shop during time interval between 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Whereas you will find his sister [dressed in blue jacket and denim jeans] in the mornings from 8:30 pm to 1:30 pm. Certain shops such as Pubs operate during the night time. The only shop that operates for the longest time interval is the Game YOU Arcade center or perhaps the Tomato Marts. Once it has reached 11:30pm on the watch, Ryo will be back at his room and you will see the menu screen (which I will explain later.) Occasionally, you may experience a rainy season where most people remained indoors and people will carry umbrellas with them. [hmm.. very realistic huh?]. BTW, you will experience another form of season, and that's winter! Plus a Christmas Theme on 25th of December... _____ / 4.9 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Training Arenas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are a couple of places, where Ryo can get to practice his moves and it also let you to get familiar with his moves. Note that training has no limits on the time interval. [even though after ever 30 minutes interval, Ryo will prompt whether to stop training or not.] There is a few differences between training and free battle mode: ___ / I \___________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Difference between free battle and training ======================================================================== Here are key differences observed by me: Training Mode - At the bottom right of the screen, you will find a box that states Training in Chinese. - You will be able to access the moveslist while in training mode. - You can't perform throws unless you have a partner. - You can't have the 1-button feature. Free Battle Mode - At the bottom left of the screen, you will find a health meter with the following colours: green, yellow and transparent. - Once you faint, you will be brought back to same sequence. - You can have more than 1 opponent. - You can use the 1 button feature - You can't access the moveslist. ======================================================================== ____ / II \__________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Training Arenas ======================================================================== Of course, you can't expect Ryo to practice his skills on the streets ^_^;). To have training, you need to proceed to empty areas [which are listed below.]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Below are the list of Training Arenas (known): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Sakuragaoka Park (found on the left of the T-Junction before heading into Dobuita) - Suzume Park (the path on the right of Game YOU) - Parking Lot (near the entrance to the shopping street of Dobuita) - Parking Lot (found on the right of Game YOU) - Dojo (you can practice with Fuk-san, for once in two weeks) To exit from Training Ground, press Start and Ryo will ask you whether you should end the training session. Next pick the left option to exit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ However, the training purpose does not only allows you to get familiar with Ryo's moves but it has another functions: - Allows you to uncover new skills on your own. - Allows you to master them to Expert status. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx About learning new skills... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It is true and it has been proved by me. I have refer to the manual [ page 27], which had stated the entire moveslist (except those that can be learnt through manual). Once you have entered the unlocked button movement, you will see a green screen and Japanese letterings lined up vertically that indicates that Ryo has learn that particular skill. Unlearned skills can be mastered by using scrolls or someone will teach you. Unlearned skills are marked with black Japanese letterings. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx About building levels of your skills... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx At the moveslist screen, you will find red lines and words scribed next beside it. That's actually the level of the skills. The line that is situated at the highest peak, states the Expert/Mastered status. The line that is situated in the middle states the Intermediate status, whereas the bottom line states the Begineer status. Observe carefully that there is actually transulcent bars which indicates the level of attainment in that particular skill. To build up a skill, just keep on using the skill and attainment level will rise. E x p l a n a t i o n ------------------------------------------------------------------------ __ __ __ __ | | Level guage: | || || | The move | | The bar will move up | || || | that is |--| Expert based on the number of |--||--||--| being | | times that you uses the |R || || | marked by | | move. Once it has | || || | "R" is the |--| Intermediate reached the Expert status |--||--||--| move that | | you will see traces of | || || | is enabled | | shadows and smoke coming | || || | by the 1- |--| Begineer out from the ground. |--||--||--| button | | | || || | feature. | | | || || | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note that once you have uncovered a new move, you will see green screen indicate that Ryo has unlocked the move. But it is better to train your normal attacks such as (X) and (A). ______ / 4.10 \________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ryo's Room / Saving ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Have you wonder why I did not mentioned Save in one of basic tutorials? Because you can save your game through here! Once you have enter the room after 8 pm, you will see four options instead for the diagram on the left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Time between: 8:30 am to | Time between 8:00 pm to 8:00 pm. | 12:00 am | | [Rest] [Save] [Config] | [Save] [Config] | [Training] | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Save] I will explain the [Save] Function first. Unlike having instant continue via the memory card through menu, this is a standard form of saving your game. You will find three memory spaces. This allows you to have three memory spaces to save your game. Note that the VMU [memory card] must be located inside the 1st controller. To continue the game, just select the [Load and Start] option in the main screen. Here is an ASCII art of the Save Screen ________________ | | Save file 1 Each Save file includes the |________________| time and date that you have save | | Save file 2 the file and the disc. |________________| If you saved the file just after | | Save file 3 you have completed Disc 1/2/3, you |________________| find a Japanese work on the top- right corner. BTW, the three save files takes up 80 blocks of memory! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Config] It will take me quite a long time to get the correct translations. And thanks to a fellow FAQ writter, I have finally solved my doubts. ________________________________________________________ | ________ ________ | | Sound | Mono | | Stereo |. | | |________| |________| | | ________ ________ | | Teleporter | ON | | OFF |. | | |________| |________| | | __________ __________ | | Trigger Options | [L] FPVM | | [L] Run |.| | | [R] Run | | [R] FPVM | | | |__________| |__________| | | ________ _________ | | Year | ON |. | OFF | | | |________| |_________| | |________________________________________________________| * FPVM stands "First Person View Mode". The default settings are being marked with ".". Please note that you can only access to this portion of menu if you select Config from the game option menu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Rest] Allows Ryo to rest so that you can proceed to the next day. You will always have different patterns on how Ryo sleep. (of course, I'm not going into detail regarding to that ^_^;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Training] This will bring you to the training menu which allows you to choose which genre of skills that you would like to focus. Here is the Training Menu: [Entire Moves] [Punch Moves] [Kick Moves] [Throw Moves] Well, sorry for the wrong information [it was my mistake ^_^;]. This menu actually allows you to build up the Experience level as you proceed onto the game. It will be best to focus on the Throw moves as it is rather difficult to master. After all, it takes quite a lot of time and you just have only Fuk-san to train with Ryo at the dojo. To have the skill that you want to improve on, just press (A) at the skill and a red border will highlight over that technique. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, that's all for the explanation. ______ / 4.11 \________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Starting the Game and In-depth Explanation of Options Menu. ======================================================================== Oh boy... How can I forget about this ^_^; Anyway for those who know Japanese, you can find this at page 10 and 11 of the main menu. After you had press the START button, you see the following options: [New Game] [Load and [Continue] Start] [Options] New Game - This option allows you to play Shenmue from the beginning. You need to insert Disc 1 to play this feature. Load and Start - This option allows you to play Shenmue from the time [at Ryo's room, where you had the last full save]. It brings you to the memory card screen. BTW, you need to select the slot that suits for the disc. Just select the file and you will be able to play. Continue - This option allows you need to play Shenmue from the temporary save file. BTW, it only works from the last reset. But this type of file can be saved anywhere. Options - This option will typically brings up the Options menu. The options menu allows you to make changes to the configuration. Below is a short diagram on the Options Menu: _____________________________________________ | | | Kids Mode [ On ][ Off ] | | | | Language Option [Cinema Mode]-> | | | | Configuration [Enter] | | | | 70 Men Battle | |_____________________________________________| * Special thanks to John M. Adriatico for the valuable information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kids Mode - Use D-Pad to select the options. If it is being selected ON, It will make about 98% of on-screen text to be appear in Japanese alphabets of Hiragana and Katakana, which is more easily readable then the other alphabet, Kanji. Notes: It will causes you unable to make changes to the Language Option as the mode will be set at Normal Mode [where you will experience both text and language]. If it is being selected OFF, it will 98% of on-screen text to be appeared in Kanji. This type of alphabet is quite similar to Chinese and consists of over 2000 characters. Default setting: OFF Actually, for those who don't know Japanese, the second option will be a better choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Language Mode - Use D-Pad to select the options [Cinema] -> [Scenery] -> [Normal] -> [Quest] (The default option highlighted is the Cinema option. Just press right of the D-Pad and you will be able to switch to the option. Press left to back-track if necessary.) Cinema Mode - In this mode, you will be able to enjoy Shenmue like a movie. You will see no subtitles as they are being disabled, but speech is being enabled. You can skip the speeches by press (B) and instead, you will find the subtitles. Scenary Mode - In this mode, the camera has tendency to focus on surroundings and moves around. You will find both speech and subtitles enabled. Normal Mode - In this mode, the camera will focus on the person. I.e. It's based on first person view mode. Both speech and subtitles are enabled. But remember that if you select Kids Mode ON, you will have no choices beside this option. Quest Mode - In this mode, the camera turns around and focus more on the surrounding instead of the person. But there is no speech, you will be able to view subtitles instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Configuration - Just move onto the right button and press (A) to enter. You will see a similar screen below: ________________________________________________________ | ________ ________ | | Sound | Mono | | Stereo |. | | |________| |________| | | ________ ________ | | Teleporter | ON | | OFF |. | | |________| |________| | | __________ __________ | | Trigger Options | [L] FPVM | | [L] Run |.| | | [R] Run | | [R] FPVM | | | |__________| |__________| | | ________ _________ | | Year | ON |. | OFF | | | |________| |_________| | |________________________________________________________| * FPVM stands "First Person View Mode". The default settings are being marked with ".". Please note that you can only access to this portion of menu if you select Config from the game option menu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notes about Teleporter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In Shenmue, it will takes a long time to proceed to the other area. But there is an easier method and that is to use the Teleporter. With this, Ryo will be teleported to the desired destination. Just move to the door of the main house of Hazuki and you will see the following options appearing at the top left-hand corner. [ Dobuita ] [ Sakuragaoka ] [ Yamanose ] [Hazuki's Frontyard] At the beginning of the game, you can't use the teleporter. The teleporter will be only enabled after you had gotten the message that says Ryo should proceed to Dobuita to find out about the black car, which is given by one of his neighbours, Yamagi-san. [Refer to walkthrough for more details]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 70 Men Battle This is one of secrets of Shenmue! It allows you to replay the 70 men battle. To gain excess to this feature, you MUST had completed the game and SAVE the completed file. Next to play this feature, you must load it from Disc 3. You will have the same 70 men battle except for the following differences: - You had only Ryo for this mode. Kishou Chin is not available for this mode as you had played from the story. - You need to defeat all 70 guys as soon as possible. It is a time challenge, where your top score could be upload to the Official Shenmue website based on the network ranking. [Well, I can't go into further details from here as mine is the Asian version.]. Hence refer to other guides that you can find in GameFAQs about network access. You will still encounter the 3 bosses of the 70 men battle. Hence just give your best shot. Once you had selected the option, you will be brought to the memory file selection screen. Select the saved file and you will be able to play the 70 men battle! _____ / 5.0 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Disk 1 Walkthrough ======================================================================== Shenmue has rather a short storyline as compared to other games. Note you can just finished the game under the time period of 10 hours, if you just go straight through the plot. Hence it will be better to navigate around the beautiful scenery to make your money worth for it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** Notes ** [1] - The Notebook Feature xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Note that each time, when you get a notebook icon on the lower-right side of the screen, you will get a new clue inside your notebook. Only with the entry inside the notebook, you can access to other areas. Like you need to ask Yamagi-san, in order to enter Dobuita and you need to talk to Fuk-san before you can leave the house. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** Notes ** [2] - Read the Basic Tutorial before proceed to the game! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Better reading the basic tutorial before beginning the adventure. Otherwise, you will experience problems such as not understanding abbreviations such as QTE. _____ / 5.1 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ryo's Room ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4 days after the death of Iwao Hazuki, Ryo will start to have a bad dream of deadly Shouryuu and the death of his dear father... After the dream [well, we should say nightmare instead, huh?], Ryo is finally awake. Next just focus on the table of Ryo's room and examine Ryo's desk. Pick up the SHENMUE tape on the table. Next check the drawers and you will get the following items: (how to pick up items, refer to Search Mode under Basic Tutorials) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Items in Ryo's Room xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - Top of table: SHENMUE tape - 1st drawer: Casette Player - 2nd drawer: A photo which has friends of Ryo including Nozomi Harasaki [the female lead of the game.] - 3rd drawer: SHENHUA tape. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Feel free to open the cupboards found in his room [but there is nothing there for you to pick up]. You can save your game by examine Ryo's bed and pick left option to save your game. Now press (A) at the door and you will a short sequence with Ine-san in the alley-way of the house. _____ / 5.2 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Main Building of Hazuki ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ine-san will talk to Ryo about his daily allowance of 500 yen and nags that Ryo needed to be back at home by 11:30 pm. You will start the game with 9800 yen, hence totalling up to 10,300 yen. She will also tell you that your "brother", Fuk-san wishes to see you. She will also inform Ryo that the letter containing the money, will be placed at the cupboard near the telephone, every morning. Now the building of Hazuki is rather complex for first timers and hence here is a little map to help you: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 5.2a Main Building of Hazuki xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ________________________________________ _______| | | | | | | |####|####|====|===|====|====| | | | | | | | | [10] | | [7] | [6] | [4] | [5] | __________________|_____/ | | | | | | |_|####|####|####|####|====|===|====|====| | |====|====|=====|======| / *________ / ___| | | |____________ | | | | [9] | [8] | | | [1] | [2] | | | | | [3] | | | |====|====|=====|======| | | | | | | |___|+++|___|________|_________| |______________________| [1] Ryo's Room [2] Study Room [I believe it is.. as there are bookshelves and a sofa set] [3] Alleyway [there you will find a shoe rack, the telephone] [4] Ine-san's Room [5] Fuk-san's Room [6] Living Room Legend [7] Kitchen +++ Main Door [8] Master Room [Iwao's Room] === Sliding doors [9] Altar Room ### Red sliding doors [10] Toilet / Normal doors * Ryo is currently here. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Wow! What a big house!! There is nothing found within the Study Room. But you still can examine the cupboards. Check Fuk-san's room where you will find a poster of Virtua Fighter. On his table, you will find a move scroll which allows Ryo to learn the "[L](Y)+(A)" move. Now move to the Ine-san's room. You will find a Family Photo on the right drawer of the purple-pink colour furniture. At the living room, there are not much interest there, except you can find a pack of C-sized batteries [found within the closet] along with a SEGA Saturn found under the TV set. I think you can use it once you have gotten a SEGA Game in the lucky draw. [You can only win two games from lucky draws at Tomato Marts, Hang On or Space Harrier. These two games can also be played at the Game YOU Arcade Center but you need to pay 100 yen for each play.] At the kitchen, if you examine the table, you will have a flashback where Iwao asking young Ryo to eat more. [*Sob* What a lovely scene...] Next, move towards to the Master Room. You will find a letter being addressed to Ryo. Next examine the drawer of the table and you will find a grey box. Examine the grey box and you will be able to find an old key. Now move to back the room and you will find a basket at the alleyway. Examine it and you will find a scroll that allows Ryo to learn the "<-, ->,-> (X)" move. At the Altar room, examine left of the Altar and you will find a box of matches. Next search the cupboard and you will get a blue box containing candles. BTW, you can pay your respects to the tablet of your late father, which can be found at the altar. [use First person View Mode to view at the tablet and the sequence will happened shortly.] ........................................................................ Special Sequence!! - Iwao's Letter Hmm.. actually this sequence will be pretty useless if you don't know Japanese ^_^;). You can have only this sequence of Ryo reading the letter, before you have the flashbacks at the table/tree. You must also haven't gotten the Old Key. Typically, Ryo will just examine the letter and you will hear Iwao's speech. The letter is found at Iwao's table. ........................................................................ Err.. finally, you are done and get ready to proceed to the dojo to meet up with your father's disciple, Fuk-san. Search the left side of the closet and you will find a torch. On the right, is the phone directory book. Note that you can find a packet of fish in the kitchen's sink and a bottle of milk in the fridge the next day. Now exit the house. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 5.2b Map of The Hazuki's Backyard xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ____________________________ | | | TT | | | [2] | TTTT| Legend | | | o o o | TT Huge Tree | _______|__________| o | PP Pond || |________ o | |\ /| Main Gate || | o | [1] Main House || [1] | o | [2] Dojo ||_________ ___| o | o pebbles | | | o o o | | |_______| o PPPPP| | o o o o PPPP| | o PPPPPPP | |__________|\ /|____________| Yamanose xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You need to head to the dojo [located at the backyard of the house]. At the dojo, you will find Fuk-san [note that he has worn a bandage on his head]. After a short speech, Ryo will eventually leaves the dojo. Return and proceed to the box found on the right of two chinese paintings. Press (Y) button and select the key with (A) button. Ryo will use the key and get a katana, which means "sword" in Japanese. Now exit the dojo where Ryo will place the katana against the wall. [there will be a use for it later in the game.]. If you move closer to the huge tree, there will be another flashback where Ryo learns from Iwao a skill.. [as for the katana, there will be a use for it later in the game.] BTW, you can get an additional item [it's a scroll with some words being scribed on]. To get the item, examine the stool located on left side of the dojo with (A) button. Ryo will use that stool and climb up and removed the painting board. He will find that scroll being rolled up and it was being placed on the ledge. Now exit the house.. and it's time to embark on a journey to the upper part of the town: Yamanose _____ / 5.3 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yamanose - Upper Part of the Town ------------------------------------------------------------------------ About Yamanose This was the first part of the town whether there is only a place of interest and that's the shrine which has statues of kitten. This is a part of the town where residents stays, i.e. a resident's district. The place is quite quiet most of the time except for mornings where you will see the townsfolk doing their regular exercises. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE Event - Prevent an accident! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If it is the next day, you will have a QTE. You will find a group of children playing soccer. However, you need to hit (A) to catch the ball or the girl will be hit in the process. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Here is a map of the town which will help to make your navigation more easier. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 5.3a Map of Yamanose xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [1] <<< Notes >>> | | Okay, I will explain ______ | | _____ the area of the town | | | | | | legend briefly. First of all, |______| | | | | [1] Ryo's house this town is not quite ______ __| | |_____| [2] Shrine Area complex unlike Dobuita | | __ | _____ * Kitten But it will be better |______| | | | | to get familiar with / / | | the town.

You / / will not find anyone at home during mornings. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Move along the road, feel free to converse with the people at the streets (or lower end of the town). Eventually, you will reach the shrine, where Ryo will meet a girl called Megumi. She feels pity for the kitten and place it in a cardboard box. Now Megumi will tell Ryo that the kitten has not eaten for quite a while. Ryo decides to get food from the altar.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Feeding the kitten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Left Option: Feed the kitten with some twig-like grains [someone told me that it is fish] to eat. Right Option: Feed the kitten with the biscuit. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Choose the left option, as the kitten refuses to eat the biscuit. If you have gotten the milk and a packet of food, you can feed the cat with it anytime. [applies only after the above sequence]. Just simply press (Y) button and choose the packet food [4 servings] or the milk to feed the cat. If you press (A) at the cupboard box/kitten, you will be given the following options: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Options on Kitten Care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Here is the menu arrangement for kitten. [1] [1] - allows Ryo to stroke the cat. [2] [3] [2] - the camera will zoom in [4] [3] - Ryo will call the cat "Mimi" [4] - Move away from the cat. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Megumi will give you a clue that you need to talk to Yamagi-san. If you choose the biscuit, you will not get the clue. But don't hesitate to find clues from the townfolks here. Just move on and you will reach the lower end of the town: Sakuragaoka. _____ / 5.4 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Lower part of the Resident's Area: Sakuragaoka ------------------------------------------------------------------------ About Sakuragaoka Well, before things becomes rather tough for you, I guess it will be better to add a map of this part of the town for you. Sakuragaoka is already quite complex when you first started this game, so you need to be more patient, don't hesitate to explore the surroundings. It is still a residents area except it has a Sakuragaoka Park and a Grocery Store called "Ah Pu's Store". Be sure to visit Sakuragaoka Park during night time, where Ryo will meet his love interest, Nozumi Harasaki. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 5.4a Map of Sakuragaoka xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _____________ | | | legend | [4] | E1 Exit 1 [Dobuita] | |________|__ E2 Exit 2 [Dobuita] ______________ [5]| E1 |______ _____| | ___________ E* Exit 4 [Yamanose] \ \ | | | | * biker maintence [3] \ \ | |____|___| ^ gotcha-gotcha \ \X________| [| | [ vending machine. | _________ | [1] | X telephone booth | | | | ^| | [1] A Pu's Store | | | | ^| | [2] Yamagi-san's House | | |______| | | [3] Construction site | | | __| |________| [4] Sakuragaoka Park | | |____|_ | | [5] Check this house | | | |* | | | | | [2] | | | | | |______| |________| E* E2 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Now you will find the paths splitting three ways, the center of the T-junction is marked by the telephone booth. Just walk straight from the booth and you will find Ah Pu's Store where in front is a vendor machine and two "gotcha-gotcha" machines [Virtua Fighter series and Sonic the Hedgehog series]. All of them costs 100 yen per try. As for the vending machine, don't you ever overlook it! You may get a can of drink with a picture of Shenhua Rei... which is a collectible item! BTW, that depends on chance and luck. If you buy an item from Ah Pu's Store, make sure it is related to Shenmue or Shenhua Rei as it allows you to get a chance to win a lucky draw. Prizes are really attractive but they are rather hard to get. If you have feed the cat using the left option, you will find an old lady saying that she's lost. She has bad eyesight and would be pleased if you could find the house for her. Head to the park and go to opposite side and press (A) to check the door sign [there is a name tag on the right side of each door.. marked [5] on the map.]. Now proceed to the Sakuragaoka Park and you will have a short sequence between the two. Next, you will have a cutscene where Ryo accompanies the old lady to the house. For those who have choose to feed the kitten with the biscuit, you need to get a second clue. Talk to the lady whom is sweeping the floor outside the Sakuragaoka Park and she is wearing a pair of spectacles. She will refer you to ask Yamagi-san. So who's this Yamagi-san? He is an old man dressed with a blue jacket and has a bald-top. He lives in one of the bungalow and loves to tend to his trees in his garden. You will find his house on the left of the man whom is maintaining his bike. [well, it is marked by [2] and * respectively.] Talk to him and he will tell Ryo that he should proceed to Dobuita to look out for more clues. Just proceed to the left from Ah Pu's Store and you will find a signboard that says "Dobuita". It is located on the right of the park. [marked E1 on the map.] _____ / 5.5 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dobuita - The Shopping Area of Yokosuka ------------------------------------------------------------------------ About Dobuita The area is much more complex compared to the previous town. However, it has full of shops and the Game YOU Arcade center. If you are lost, check out the maps that are found within the vicinity. There is one near the vending machine on this street. Or you can refer to my maps in this section ^_^;) Dobuita is really a huge shopping area and it took me quite a while to come up with the maps. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 5.5a Map of Dobuita A xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Map C | | ______| |______ | | ______ -> Map B | [6] | / | |______| | [5] | legend | | |______| [1] Liu's Barber Salon.

Within the area, you will find a green door with a strange yellow logo at the top and a camera located on the top left hand corner. [which will open from 2:30 pm onwards.] Look out for the operation hours of the shop or you will end up lost in the game. If that happens, wander around and wait for the next day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just walk straight up the road, until you come to a junction. You will find Funny Bear Burger Shop [marked [6] on Map A] located on the extreme top left hand corner of the street. Talk to the owner there and he will tell you to refer to Harasaki [the girl in the photo with a white sweater.]. Okay, here is the map for the second section of Dobuita. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 5.5b Map of Dobuita B xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Map C Map C | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [1] | | | TM | | [2] | [3] | | | | |_______|_______| |________|____|_____|_____|_____|_____| *_____________________________________________ -> Map D | | | | | | \ | [4] | | | | | \ Map A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1] Aja Travel Agency [2] Antique Shop [3] Water Dragon [4] Aida Florist TM Tomato Mart * Harasaki's normal spot.

Note that the manuals are quite expensive and you can't unlock them by training. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx She is found near the door of the florist shop. Talk to her and she will say something about a black car. Feel free to visit the antiqute shop and buy some manuals: the most cheapest is 500 yen and the most expensive is 3,000 yen. They are located on the left shelf that's near the counter. BTW, don't hesitate to visit Tomato Mart to get the casettes or buy some cat food for your kitten.

Next walk up the junction and you will find a First Aid shop along with a Sports shop on the right. The chinese restaurant is located on the opposite side of the shops [marked [9] on the map]. Enter the shop and talk to chef. You will have a short sequence. Next proceed to the Maida-san's barber salon located near Game YOU. It is opposite of Game YOU Arcade center. Well, it is a long way from here. You need to backtrack to the florist shop and proceed past Tomo and the Game YOU Arcade Center. Next talk to the barber (Maida-san) inside the building. He will tell you that there is another barber shop [which is on the other hand of the town.. called Liu's Barber Salon]. Refer to Map A for more details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Note ** [4] If it is now between 6 to 7 pm, I would suggest that you proceed to Game YOU to kill time as you will be unable to complete the next few sequences. Or you can just wondering around the town to get familiar with the layout. Just return back to Dobuita the next day and head to the barber shop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now proceed the other side of the town.. go past the Game YOU, Tomu's Hot Dog store, The Funny Bear Burger store until you reach the vendor machine. Now walk up further and you will find another barber shop. Look for the sign of barbers [a cylindrical shaped with red, white and blue lights]. Enter and talk to the barber. Now you need to travel back to Game YOU [Are you tired? me too..]. Notice that there is an alleyway located on the right side of the Game YOU? Behind of it leads to the Suzume Park, talk to the old man in black and white checkered shirt. [BTW, he is the owner of Barber Shop]. He will ask you to look for the owner of the Flower Shop [which is just few buildings away.]. Talk to the owner and you will get another clue. Hmm.. return back to Hot Dog shop and talk to Tomu. If you are pretty fast in the game, the time should be 5 pm. Now you need to find the Yokosuke Pub [marked [1] on Map C]. Now travel back to the florist shop where you find Harasaki. Note that there is a junction between the Tomato Mart and the shop on the left. The streets leads to the shops that mostly opened in the night... Now go up the street and stop once you reach a junction. There you will find a streets of pubs. Enter the pub and you will have a short sequence.. The owner will pass Ryo a can of Coca-Cola. After a short treat, you may need to wait until the time reaches 7 pm. [there will be a sequence where the streets will operate now.].

Just press (A) to switch the camera to the ball and press (A) again to pool. [Note: I myself couldn't make any shot. But a reader said that he has made the shot, but nothing happens!] Hence, still be prepared to lose a thousand yen... Next exit the pub and proceed to Heart Beats Pub. Now backtrack to the place where you find motorbikes and the name of shop is called Yokosuko Japan Knocking].

They were two hunks dressed with black trenchcoat harassing the lady and the boy. Next you will have a free battle. After the free battle, Harasaki will thank Ryo for his help. From now on, you will not meet Harasaki at the spot when she usually is. She seems to disappear from the face of the earth.. * To feed the kitten, just approach towards the box and press (Y) button. Select the item that you wish to feed the kitten. Now it is time to proceed back to Dobuita. At the street from the shop, Ryo will meet an assistant in one of the restaurants near a vending machine. The guy seems to forget to bring his wallet along and ask Ryo to treat him a drink. Choose left option to buy a drink and next select Orange Fanta from the menu. Next he will give you a clue.

The thug will lead Ryo somewhere else. Ryo follows him to the parking lot located on the left of Game YOU. Guess what? Ryo has been ambushed and you will battle 5 thugs [remember those thugs that you fought while at alley/ Heart Beats bar?]. Defeat them and Ryo will get a clue about the Tattoo Shop. But they will not reveal anything about the location. Proceed to Game YOU and talk to the bikers [they were playing a fighting game.]. They will ask Ryo if he wants a tattoo. Pick the left option. Next they will give you the address. Proceed to Yokosuko Bar. Opposite from here, you will find an apartment block. Proceed up the stairs and enter the door where you see a poster. The guy, who is in charge of tattooing will tell Ryo to come back tomorrow. I guess that's nothing much to do, but don't hesitate to train at the parks to build your skill level and remember to reach home by 11 pm. [You will be able to sleep when the time is 8 pm onwards.] * Feel free to pay your brother a visit at the dojo and he will teaches you a new technique, -> + (X). It applies during Day 2.

Next you will find at the dojo where his brother has fully recovered from his injuries. Next you will have a friendly match with Fuk-san. Seize the opportunity to practice your throws. While returning back to house, Ryo will meet up with Ine-san where she says that there is a letter that is address to his father. Ryo finds the letter hard to read [well, it is laterally-inverted ^_^;]. Next exit the house and you will meet up with Fuk-san where Fuk-san will suggest to Ryo that he gets help from someone in the town. Proceed to Sakuragaoka. There Ryo will meet a Chinese boy who says that someone has taken his soccer ball and refuse to give him back. There you will meet up with five thugs at the construction site. They were Charlie's subordinates. You will have Free Battle with 3 of them. Defeat them and the leader will try to threaten Ryo by holding the boy hostage. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE Event - Ryo's a striker! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Prepare for a quick QTE and Ryo will give the leader a good kick with the ball! [press (A) or you will have to restart.]. The boy will thank Ryo for his help and his name is Gao Wen. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Proceed back to Dobuita and look for Kurita-san [the guy at US Army shop.] Talk to him and he will say that you should seek someone whom know Chinese to read it. He will direct you to seek from the owner in the Chong Hua Restaurant, located opposite of Sports shop. Of course, the owner can't interpret it either. Next proceed to the Game YOU and you will find Gao Wen along the way. He will tell Ryo that he has a grandmother, who owns the pottery shop and she might help Ryo to solve the puzzle. Proceed to back to the main street where you will find the fortune teller shop. Enter the building located on the right of it. Next you will have a sequence between Ryo and Gao Wen's grandmother. She will make use of the mirror and decipher the puzzle. Now you need to make a phone call. Proceed to the other end of the street where you find a shop called The Flower Shop. Opposite of it, there is a huge letter box. It is a kiosk. Use the phone [of course, you need to pay 10 yen ^_^;] and dial the number 61-5647. The guy on the phone will says about the letter and you will given four prompts for each question. [something to do with the letter.] If you did not answer for a long time, the man will hang up and you need to use another 10 yen to dial again. TIP: The phone number is in your notebook. You can dial the phone while activating the notebook. [note that it is not those numbers that found in the front page. It is somewhere near the entry where Ryo gets from Gao Wen's Grandmother (check the latest entry).] For the first prompt: pick the right option For the second prompt: pick the left option. After you have given the correct phrase, he will give you information about Warehouse No. 8. Now talk to the old lady inside the kiosk, you may need to use the First Person View mode in order to talk to her. Next search the phone directory that's on the table. Return back to the Hot Dogs stall and talk to Tomo. He says that you should be able to get there by boarding the bus. The bus stop is located behind the kiosk. Wait for the bus and pay 120 yen to board it. [There is a table of the bus arriving intervals, so read it.. Come back 25 minutes before the interval] *See! I tell you not to go that fast!* End of Disc 1. You will see the option screen and save your game. Popped in Disc 2 to resume your journey. _____ / 6.0 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Disc 2 Walkthrough ======================================================================== Generally, it is much tougher [not for that hide-and-seek sequence and the tough free battle with Chai..] But Disc 2 allows you to have more time to navigate around the town plus playing Shenmue is become more engrossed and fun to play! Now you should be visiting the dock area, where you need to find Warehouse No. 8. After a coolcut scene with the scenery of the Warehouse District, it is time to get to work for the search... _____ / 6.1 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The First Visit to The Warehouse District ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now after you have unboard the bus, head left and you will find a Coca-Cola Vending machine along with a telephone. Walk straight up and Ryo will have a cut-scene with two thugs harming a helpless fellow. Well, it is that guy again! It was the man dressed in black trenchcoat along with his other friend. Now prepared for a QTE section. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE Event - No weapons brawl! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - As soon as the man in trenchcoat thrusts a punch, press <-- as to dodge the punch - Press (A) to trip the guy in black trenchcoat. - Press (B) to trash the other guy. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Okay, it is time to enter the Warehouse District.

After the QTE, both of them will start to run away from Ryo Hazuki. Now you have entered Warehouse District. This place is extremely huge and confusing for beginneers. It took me quite a long time to get used to it. There are a couple of places of interests. You can find a Tomato Mart [which sells new casette tapes] plus a corner where you can find "gotcha-gotcha" machines, a Darts 7 machine along with the SEGA Neo-Darts. Plus there is also a workers' canteen on the right. You need to look for the Warehouse No. 8 as it was being given by the mysterious guy on the phone. Next proceed to Warehouse No. 8 [Examine the floor carefully as it also indicates marks, where do the track leads to.] You can also find a map found in the area where those cranes are. [Or refer to the map aboved.] It is located behind Warhouse No. 4. Now try to enter the Warehouse and you will asked to leave. Proceed to left of the warehouse and go to the back of the warehouse. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting Up the Crates ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Proceed near the crates and Ryo will say that perhaps he could try to go up the crates. Note that there is a crate located on the right. Push it [using Up button] and have it near the crates. Hit (A) to crawl over it and (A) again to get to the top. Now proceed to the window and now you should be inside Warehouse No. 8. _____ / 6.2 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Getting Inside Warehouse No. 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go to the right side of the warehouse and go straight. You will have a cutscene between two people. After the cutscene is over, Ryo decides to exit the area. Press (A) to jump off the crates. Now proceed to the other side of Warehouse District. [refer to Map below] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 6.2a Map B of Warehouse District xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx O l d W a r e h o u s e D i s t r i c t _____ |_______________|____| |_____| B | | | | A | | |___| |_____| |___| |_____| __________| * [| | |_____| ____ | | | | ________|_____| |____| | | | | Legend |____| | * Tomu's Cart | | | A Entrance A |____| | B Entrance B 18 | | ________| | Map A xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Just move pass the map and proceed until you find a Hot Dog cart.. and that's Tomu! Talk to him and get your next clue. Now proceed to the right side from the cart and you will find a gate, try to enter it and you will be stopped by a warden [guy dressed in blue uniform]. Ryo thinks that it will be better to sneak inside the area during night. Well for my case, I have gotten about an hour to kill. There is a Tomato Mart and you can have a few games of Darts 7/Sega's Neo Darts (much harder difficulty) there. At around 7 o'clock, proceed inside the warehouse district... for a short Quick Timer Event! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE Event - Nab a flashlight! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Now proceed back to the gate. Ryo will crawl down the area... RING! Press -> to nab the flashlight or you have to start all over again. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Well, now it is time for hide-and-seek... Objective: Get into Warehouse No. 8 without being noticed. You need to get to the other end of the area where you will find Warehouse No. 8. Once you got caught, you need to restart the process all over again. If you got caught for fifth time, you will meet up with an old guy whom will give you a map without any labelling. If you have got caught another five times, he will give you the movement of the guards. If you got caught another five more time, he will mark the warehouse for you. If you got caught for another five more time, he will told Ryo to enter the area during late in the night [11:00pm]. BTW, press (X) to activate the map. You can press (A) to hide behind the walls or duck behind barrels. You can mark the rooms on the area by shining your torchlight at the sign. Don't ever shine your torch at the guards! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 6.2b Map of Old Warehouse District Area xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _________________________________________ | ______ _________ | | I guess with the map, I | | | | 3 | | 8 | don't have to explain that | | 2 | |_________| |__________| much right?

You can browse through the area. Examine the shelves and find a white shinning plate [it's a Chinese antique]. Pick it up and you will have a cut scene. There you will meet an old men dressed in red suit [Chintaijin] and his henchman Mr.Bodyguard]. After a short talk, you will be back at your house (Gosh... Home sweet home.). BTW, please note that your salary has increased based on number of times that you have been caught. Save your game. _____ / 6.3 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Retrieving the Phoenix Mirror ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back at the house, proceed to get the old key if you haven't gotten earlier. [it is in the drawer of Ryo's father desk in the master room.] Find it and now proceed to find Ine-san [Ryo will refuse to leave unless you have talked to Ine-san.] She may be at the kitchen or her own room. Exit and proceed to the dojo. Take the katana by opening the box found on the right of the vertical paintings. Remove the painting on the right and Ryo will find a hatch for the katana to slot in. Remove the painting and place the katana inside. [Note once it is in there, you can't use it anymore.. If you press (A) before entering the dojo, you will have an action scene of Ryo using the katana, examining the blade of the katana.] Okay, you are down with the things here, time to head to Dobuita... Along your way through Yamanose, attempt to enter the temple and you will have a cutscene of Harasaki with the kitten. The kitten is no longer stays in the cardboard, provided that you have been feeding it. [You will have this cutscene, once the kitten has recovered]. Now proceed to the T-junction and you will have a cut-scene of Ryo with the henchman. Well, he wants to challenge Ryo, so you will have a free battle. Unlike others, he is quite strong. Note the scene after this... Okay, at Dobuita, proceed to Roshiya Pottery Shop, where the old woman will tell Ryo to get more information from the owner of the Antique Shop. It is located at the left of Water Dragon Jeans Shop and right of Tomato Mart in Dobuita. Next you will have another cutscene where the old man [BTW, he is one of the main characters as in the Passport Disc]. He will give Ryo an artifact which his late father have given to him. Hmm, this item seems familiar.. Well, if you haven't gotten a flashlight [note that the flashlight you have used earlier in the hide-and-seek sequence will not be available.], you can buy it from Tomato Mart or find it in the closet where you find the phone in Ryo's House. Okay, get some matches and candles. [Candles is found in one of drawers at the altar room, whereas matches is found in cupboard inside the living room.] Once you are done, proceed back home. You will have a cutscene with Fuk-san where he exclaims over the strange artifact from the Antique shop. Now it is time to look for Ine-san and you will find her inside the altar room. Once you have talk to her.. the search for the Phoenix Mirror begins. Proceed to the dojo and remove the left painting, this operate from the system menu. Ryo will place the artifact inside and the hidden door will be unlocked. It leads to a secret basement of Hazuki's. _____ / 6.4 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Basement of the Hazuki's Dojo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next you will be down in a dark alleyway. Press (Y) and use the torch/ flashlight. You will need to make a left turn. Now you should be in a small room. There are five candles-spots for you use. Light them up with the matches. You can replace the candles if you stay in the room for quite a long time. There is a matchbox found on the cupboard. [where you find a manual.] Near the candle on the right, you will find a straw box [which you have found in Ine-san and at the alleyway of the master's room.] Open it and you will get an old photo about Ryo's father along with an old friend. Note that there is a trunk which is directly opposite of the entrance of the small room. Pick up the book and a feather will drop out. Next proceed and look at the small mirror. There is a piece of paper being sticked on one of its legs. Note that there are the tracks of distortion on the ground and it seems there is something behind the cupboard. Press (A) to cause Ryo to drag away the cupboard. Next you will find a strange part of the wall. Get the axe found near the cupboard where you get the manual. Use it on the wall and Ryo will get the Phoenix Mirror, which is found inside the box. Now you are done, it's time to get out from the area. You will have a cut-scene with Fuk-san. He will tell you to proceed and get advice from the townfolks. Now move Sakuragaoka Park [remember the park located left of A Pu's Store?]. There you will find Yamagi-san. He will refer to you to Gao Wen's grandmother at Roshiya. At Roshiya Pottery Shop, you will have a cool cutscene regarding the Phoenix and Dragon Mirror. It is actually somewhat closely related to stars. Catch a glimpse of Shenhua Rei for the first time. [not actually, as you can enjoyed free movies from the passport disc.] Proceed to the Antique Shop and Ryo will show the Mirror to the owner of the Antique Shop. Next he will tell Ryo to look for the guy in black and white checkered shirt at Suzume Park located back of Game YOU. Now look for him and he suggest that you need to proceed to the Warehouse District and look for Chintaijin, the old man in red mafia suit. Hence board a bus and get back to the Warehouse District Area. Proceed to the telephone booth located near the entrance. Dial in the following number 0468-61-5647 and you will need to answer some questions [same as before, except that some of the options is being shifted.] 1st Prompt: Right option 2nd Prompt: Left option Now proceed to the area where you find Tomu. If the time is quite early before 7 pm, kill some time or explore the area on your own. Proceed to the right of Tomu and attempt to the Warehouse Area. This time, the guard will let you enter. Proceed to Warehouse No. 8. Now you will met up with Chintaijin and his bodyguard.. Unexpectedly, a strange guy appears and starts to dash forward... He snatched the Phoenix Mirror away. Press <-- during QTE and Ryo will retrieve back the mirror. (who is this guy?). Chintaijin will tell Ryo that he has to proceed to Hong Kong to find out the truth why Shouryuu want these two pieces of antique mirror.. BTW, since he is there, so you need to head there to seek revenge. ^_^; _____ / 6.5 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Getting The Ticket to Hong Kong ------------------------------------------------------------------------ At a flick of an eye, Ryo will be back at his house once again, look for Fuk-san in his room. Now it is bedtime and Ryo will have a dream of the Shenmue Girl: Shenhua Rei.. In the morning, Ryo will open up his drawer and check his bank book and take out approximately 36,512 yen! [My account rises from 3150 yen to 39,662 yen.]. Note that from now on, you can't spend any part of the money [Want to know why? Hmm... it is logical as you got to save money for the ticket to Hong Kong ^_^;]. Now proceed to the Fuk-san's room and you will have a cutscene, between him and Ine-san. Next it's time to find out the cost of the ticket. Now proceed to Dobuita. There are two agencies in Dobuita. Note that you could still collect your regular 500 yen salary. First of all, let's go to the World Tour Agency, which is directly opposite Tomu's cart in the beginning of the game. Proceed inside and the man will give Ryo a phamplet. [Gosh! The ticket cost 198,000 yen!] Hmm.. check out the other agency, which is opposite the florist that Harasaki is working at. Proceed inside Aja Travel Agency. This time, the price of the ticket is much reasonable.. 158,000 yen. Well, head back home to report to Fuk-san. He is at his room. Now here comes a sad part and that's Fuk-san giving you money by smashing his piggy bank [*sob*] and it will nab a total of approximately 79,796 yen. This seems that it is still not enough, which means Ryo got to debate with the owner of Aja Travel Agency. Talk to Harasaki before entering the Aja Travel Agency. She says that once her relative has travel by boat to Canada. Now the owner will give Ryo a cheap offer of 69,000 yen and of course, it is by boat! However, Ryo need to pay a deposit of 50,000 yen. She will tell Ryo that the ticket will be ready tomorrow. I guessed it will be better to save your game and find a place to practice as a tough fight is coming soon. Try to build up your attacks. Once it is about 8 pm, head back home and enjoy a cut-scene between Ryo and Fuk-san. The next day, returned back to Aja Travel Agency.. Ryo will find that the agency is infested with thugs instead of the owner.. They will say that owner will be back tomorrow. So that means you have another day to kill. Try to practice your moves. Once it is near 8 pm, return home and have another dream sequence regarding Shenhua Rei... The next day, the Hazukis will received a phone call. Fuk-san says that there is a phone call for Ryo. It was that strange-looking guy and his name is Chai. He says that he has the ticket and tell Ryo to be at Game YOU by 12 pm or it will be finished. BTW, this battle is no kidding... Proceed to Game YOU. There, you will meet Chai and he will ate up your ticket [that costs 50,000 yen!!!]. Ryo is furious and this causes a free battle between Ryo and Chai. He is quite tough as he has a tendency to attack Ryo's legs. If you lose, Chai will leave the Game YOU and Fuk-san arrives there on time. Ryo will be back at his home injured. (Either you have won or lost...) Head back to Dobuita. Now proceed to Aja Travel Agency. You will have a series of QTE that involve the winding street of Dobuita! Absolutely, this is the best and the longest QTE of the game! As soon as the guy runs away, the QTE starts. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE Event - A chase around Dobuita xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This QTE is extremely long... Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, (A), Left, Left, Right, Left, (A) Notes: - the more falls or accidents you have, the lesser the chances that you will catch that thug. - If you accidentally trip on the apples [missing the (A) hits], there is a high chance of failing to catch the thug. If you fail to do so, you will have to restart the QTE. - If you have too many accidents on the winding street, you will miss the thug before he reaches the main street. - You will knock into several people such as the man in bar, the Chinese worker and even some of your friends such as Kurita-san. - Once you have caught him as (he did not the chance to ran away due to a van from the path near Game YOU, come near his way.), that's the end of Disc 2.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Save your game. Let's hop on to Disc 3 walkthrough! _____ / 7.0 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Disc 3 Walkthrough ======================================================================== Phew... Finally, I had finished typing out the Disc 2 walkthrough and finally reached Disc 3. The lack of updates from the previous version 1.0 is partially due to this section. There is a lot of "sequences" that requires timing in order to trigger it. But it is a lot more fun compared to the previous discs. It has a couple of great events such as the Forklift races, work at the warehouse district by transporting crates, more free battles and great QTEs. Plus a few hidden stuffs including 70 men battle. _____ / 7.1 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back to Warehouse District - Finding clues about Mad Angels... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now, you will have a cut-scene of Ryo beating up the villian into a pulp while at the Aja Travel Agency. [This is from my point of view. I think that the entire travel agency is fake!] Finally, the thug [his name is Jimmy] revealed that Ryo that he can gathered some clues at the warehouse district about the missing lady boss and he is from the Mad Angels gang. After the cut scene, proceed towards the florist where Harasaki is and have a short conversation. Now you need to proceed to the Warehouse District to gathered up the clues. Below is an edited map which is meant for Disc 3. For this edited map, you will see new words/symbols being added to the area. Note that the entire warehouse district will be use as the racing circuit. Hence try to get familiar with the area. You will find a couple of the maps for the district at the following locations: 1) Opposite Alpha Warehouse, where Ryo will registered for his job. 2) Near Warehouse No. 1 3) Near the Tomato Mart Note: the maps are marked by @ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 7.1a Map of Warehouse District (edited) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _________________ / AH / ___________ ___/ | | | | | 14 | |___|__ |________| | | | | | |___|__| | 13 | | | | CS |________| |___|__| | | |___ __| 12 | | | | | | |___| |__|________| | | | | |________|________ | | 1 | | | |____|____________| | @ | | ____ | | | 2 | | _______ |_ |____| ____ | | | | | 3 | | 5 | | Map B ___| |___|____| |____| |____| | | @ | 4 | | 6 | | | |______________________| SS |____| TG |____| | _______________ ____ | 7 | | _________ _______________ | | | | 9 | |____| | |@ | | TM | || |Alpha | |____| _____ | 18 | |____|____|_____|| |Ware- | | 10 | | | | | | |house | |____| | 8 | | _________| |________|______| | 11 | |_____| | | |____| | |_____ _________________________________________| o| | | | Legend [] | | o Vending Machine * * you are here. [] Telephone booth TM Tomato Mart TG Training Ground CS Goro Cut Scene AH Abandon Harbour SS Cutscene with Shou xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Map C covers the abandon harbour and the Warehouse No. 12 to 17. I will try my best to add in Map C for the Warehouse District for the next update. BTW, it also includes an area reserved by a gang known as the Mad Angels. Head towards the bus stop and paid a bus fare of 160 yen. Once you have reached the Warehouse District, you need to wonder around until 2 pm. Spend time talking to the people there and most of them tell you that Ryo should meet a guy called Goro who knew everything about the warehouse district. You need to talk to ladies [not the lady selling snacks or at the Tomato Mart] and workers. Proceed to the Warehouse No. 13, which is behind Warehouse No.1, once it is around 2 - 3 pm. You will meet Goro and he is quite a funny lad. He has worn a purple shirt with a clown and a teal-coloured jacket. Besides a distinguish hairstyle, he also has a never-stop-laughing behaviour... He will tell Ryo to meet him at Warehouse No. 1 tomorrow at noon, 1200 hrs. Note: To trigger this scene, you must not be at the CS Area. You must proceed towards it from another area. Hence there is nothing much to do besides killing time. Just return home or proceed to the Tomato Mart to play "gotcha-gotcha", Neo-Darts and Darts 7. If you want to have more fun, return to Dobuita to play Hang On or Space Harrier. For those who intend to get home, you need to pay an additional 160 yen for the bus fare. Proceed to the kitten shrine where Ryo will have a cut-scene on the condition of Mimi. If you have taking care of the kitten, you will see Harasaki coming in with a can of cat food. Just proceed home and sleep. Remember to save your game, for it is every hard to trigger the Goro scene. Once again, it is a full moon with the mysterious Shenhua Rei... _____ / 7.2 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Day at The Warehouse District - Ryo's hired! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now you need to get the Warehouse District from Yamanose to Sakuragaoka and eventually to Dobuita. From Dobuita, you need to take the bus [BTW, the bus service is loop, i.e. it is a one-way travel route] Just proceed to Warehouse No. 1 in the district and wait there at noon. [1200 hrs] BTW, it does not matter whether you go there at 1200 hrs sharp. Just be there around by 2 pm will be fine. A cutscene will trigger between Ryo and that hyperactive talkative Goro along with his girlfriend. Now they will tell Ryo that he could register for work through the foreman at the Alpha Warehouse. Refer to the map 7.1a found at Section 7.1 for its exact location. Proceed to the Warehouse. Note that there is a small door on the right side of the Warehouse. Enter via that entrance. Ryo will meet a foreman where he will take Ryo for a short walk to the area between Warehouse No. 1 to 11. It is marked by "TG". There, he will introduced Mark, an Amercian who will teach Ryo on how to ride a Forklift. Practise hard! * Note: It is not necessary to get all of them done but if you managed to get them done, you get 3000 yen instead of 2000 yen! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Riding the Forklift ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark will teaches Ryo in the following sequence: 1) Press (D-Pad) Left to turn the wheels left 2) Press (D-Pad) Right to turn the wheels right 3) Press [R] or Right Trigger to go forwards and press (X) to brake. 4) Press [L] or Left Trigger to go backwards and press (Y) to brake. 5) Press (A) to move the forklift's lever. 6) Next with the lever lowered at the lowest end. Press (A) to lower it and make contact with the crate. Press (A) to lift it up. Use the forklift and move into Warehouse No.3. Place/lower the lever within the white squares.

This makes a double stack. BTW, you can also switch between the first person view mode and third person view mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Once the time reaches 5 pm, you will be brought to the foreman's office [aka. Alpha Warehouse] and get your pay. Wait around 7 pm and proceed back to Alpha Warehouse. Eventually, you will have a cutscene of the homeless guy being harassed by the Mad Angels [For those who has visited their hideout at the deserted harbour area, you should know about them...] Seeing this, Ryo decides to stop them... Next the one of Mad Angels gang members will challenge Ryo to race on a motorbike. You will have a QTE on the race! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE Event - Fun on a Motorbike race! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Press (A), Down, <--, --> Press (A) to block the enemy's attack [I'm not sure about this...] Press Down to dodge the enemy's attack Press Left to move away from enemy's motorbike Press Right to dodge away from the enemy's attack. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx After the QTE Event, there is nothing much to do but to go home. Hence proceed to the bus-stop. If you have sufficient time, rush back to Sakuragaoka or you may missed this fantastic sequence! Back at the Sakuragaoka Park, Ryo will find a crying Harasaki and there will be a chit-chat between the two. Harasaki-san is moving to Canada and she is really upset about this. [Watch it for yourself!] You should back at your home. Save your game and it's bedtime. Zzzz... _____ / 7.3 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 1: First Day at Work ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Be prepared for the first day of work in Shenmue... From now onwards, Ryo needed to be awake as early as 7:30 am. Once arrived at the Warehouse District (which will be automated), you will have the first -ever forklift race! Below is the map for the race course. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 7.3a The Race Course xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _________________ | | 1 | | <---- Direction of Race Course |xxxxxxx|____|____________| | . . . . . . . . . . . | | . ____ . | | . | 2 |x ____ . | _______ |_ . |____| x x| |. | | | | . | 3 | | 5 |. | Map B ___|xxx|___|____| . |____| |____|. | |. . . . . . . . . . | 4 | | 6 |. | | |______________________|. _____________ |____| x x |____|. | x . . . . . . . . . / | |xxx . . . . | 7 |. | _________x . _______________ / | | . ___ . |____|. | | . | | TM | || |Alpha | . | 9 | . . . . . | 18 | . |____|____|_____|| |Ware- | . |___| ____ | | . | |house | . | 10| x x | | | _________| . |________|______| . |___| | 8 | | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ., s . . . | 11| |____| | |_____ ______________,_________|___|____________| | x x x x x | | | Legend | | ,, Starting Line S Starter Spot xx Barriers ..

You need to take 3 laps to the finish the race. Ryo's forklift [no.5] will always be at the 5 position. Hence, you need to squeeze your way in to the top. There are a couple of obstacles and they can range from small winding roads [ which requires you to make a sharp turn]. If you hit an object and find out that you can't move forward, press [L] to move back along with the Left wheel or right wheel turn. Press and hold [R] to proceed. Release [R] to reduce speed. To be more efficient in driving, head for the extreme edge before making a turn. It helps to reduce the number of knocks on crates and walls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Driver's Tip - (this was taught by someone..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you go extreme left.... ______c_______ | . . . . .

TIP: Make use of the barriers as an indicator when to turn. They are marked with turning arrows. BTW, I am not quite good at this sort of stuff. Even though, I use the above method, there are still chances that I still got jammed up ^_^;. Hence, the best way for effective racing is practice [gosh.. I really need a lot of them] and experience [for those whom frequently visits the arcade centers to play racing games, this should not posed much a problem for you, But it is really an headache for me ^_^;)] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are a total of 5 races in the game. Hence, treasure every time you got one. After every race, Mark will give your a toy model of the forklift marked with the position as your certificate. Next, Mark will give Ryo a short illustration of transporting the goods to another area. He also handles Ryo the map. You need to transport the good from the current location to Warehouse No. 18 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 7.3 Map B of Warehouse District (edited) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx O l d W a r e h o u s e D i s t r i c t _____ |_______________|____| |_____| | | | | | | TIPS |___| |_____| xxxx|___| 1) Start off with the lever |_____| ........ xxxx| on the mid-level as it . __________| allows you to take crates ____ * .

Once it is noon, you will have a cut-scene where Mark get interrupted by two thugs. Ryo go to help Mark and eventually this leads to a free battle with. Note that this free battle is really tough. Now with the remaining time before 2 o'clock, you can kill some time by visit the Tomato Mart or converse your fellow work mates. Once it is time, Ryo will start to resume his work. Continue loading until it's around 3 to 4 pm, you will get another cutscene. Three thugs come in and note that they call Ryo, "boy". Hence this leads to another free battle against the three thugs. Defeat them and resume your work. If you managed to finish loading all the crates, proceed to Warehouse No. 1. You will get your salary after this at the office of the Alpha Warehouse. The amount of salary based on the number of crates that you have loaded. There are a total of 30 crates and each costs 500 yen. This means if you load all of them, you will get 6000 yen! After getting the pay, Ryo will get interrupted by the ever- talkative Goro. Well, he is asking Ryo about his opinions of his first day of work. Next move left from the Alpha Warehouse towards the back of the Tomato Mart and you will have another cutscene. It was a sneak attack by the bodyguard. The bodyguard reveals his name and his name was Shou. He will ask Ryo about a thing or so and decides to teach Ryo a new move. Choose the left option and he will demostrates for you. Press <-- , (A) and you will learn a new move. Press left to continue practising it. Note that you can only practice up to the maximium of 3 times. After finishing practising, Ryo will have a short chit-chat with Shou. Now you could choose to linger around or head home. Just wander around until it is around 8: 30 hrs and return back the empty area in front of the Tomato Mart. Guess what? it's another cutscene and Ryo will meet up with the homeless guy. He will taunt Ryo to hit him and surprisingly, Ryo just can't hit him! He is a great sensei! Choose the Left option to learn a new technique from him. Just press Forward + (B) + (Y) to excute this dodging move. You can practice for another couple of times. Note that Ryo can only leave the Warehouse District at 9 pm. Hence if you have any extra time, try to kill it by buying items [to get the games], collect your "gotcha-gotcha" toys or play Neo-Darts. But if you have time, try to rush to the MJQ Bar and you will be allowed to play pool and this time is free. After you are done, if you got time try to kill it and head back home. Save your game. It is another dream sequence and this time is about the Phoenix Mirror. _____ / 7.4 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 2: Fighting in the Warehouse District ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This part of the game is considered rather tricky. At first, I thought that you move all the crates [which is considered nearly impossible.] hence you can procceed on... Enough blabbling... Time to work at 7:30pm. It is another Forklift Race. This time, you should be more experienced. Hence, aim to get a better standings. After Mark praise for Ryo's performance, it's time to work! This time the spot has moved from the Old Warehouse District area to the area in front of the Tomato Mart. You need to take the goods to Warehouse No. 3. BTW, Ryo will received a new map from Mark. Anyway, here is the map to aid you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 7.4a Map of Warehouse District (edited) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |___ __| 12 | | | | | | |___| |__|________| | | | | |________|________ | | 1 | | | |____|____________| | . . . . . . | | . ____ . | | . | 2 | . | _______ |_ . |____| . ___ | | | | . | 3 |. . | 5 | | Map B ___| |___|____| . |____|* * |___| | | . | 4 | X* | 6 | | | |______________________| ____________G__ . |____| * |___| | | | |. * * * | | | _______________ | | | . * ____ | 7 | | _________ | | || | | . * | 9 | |___| | | | TM | || |Alpha | . * |____| ____ | 18 | |_________|_____|| |Ware- | . * | 10 | | | | | * * * * * * * * xx | |house | . * |____| | 8 | | _________| * . . . . . . . xx |________|______| . * | 11 | |____| | | * . ---------------| . * |____| | | * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . * | | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | |_____ _________________________________________| o| | | | Legend [] | | o Vending Machine [] Telephone booth TM Tomato Mart xx Locatio of goods .. Path by map ** Scott's path G Goro's pass point X Warzone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx As you see from the map, the route is definitely becomes longer and tougher to move around. There will be a series of contact between Ryo's forklift and other members' forklift. Besides you are not limited to use the map's path. It is your free will to take the path that you desired. BTW, the path between Warehouse No.1 and Warehouse No. 2 tends to get jammed before 12 o'clock. Hence it will be more advisible to to take my designed path. Of course, you can choose not to follow it. Just continue working until 12. Next you will have a cutscene of the workers having lunch in front of the warehouse next to the Alpha Warehouse. Proceed to the front of Alpha's Warehouse and wait for Goro to pass by the vicinity. [It's mark G on the map.] Talk to him until you no longer sees the red (A) at the lower right hand corner of the screen [BTW, watch his expressions. Ryo is questioning him about the Mad Angels!] *Important Note!* This has been tested by me for a couple of times and they always give me the same results! If you still want to work for a few more days, don't talk to Goro. If you don't talk to him, you will never proceed onto the story. Now it's time to proceed to meet your sensei, Ojii-san. [Hey! who do you recently learn a new move from? It's the homeless guy!]. Talk to him and you will get a note for your notebook. Now there is nothing much to do but to continue with your work. Just continue to work and eventually you will have a cutscene in the area between Warehouse No. 3 and Warehouse No. 5. A thug will come harass Ryo and set on your goods. Ryo ignores and drive the forklift inside the warehouse and the door is shut! An Ambush! Now it is a free battle against the 5 of them. After defeating them, Ryo found out that there are actually another 4 of them hiding in the corner. [Don't worry your health meter is being filled up to its maximum.] After defeating those thugs, continue with your work until 5 pm. Collect your pay and proceed to the abandoned warehouse area [where you find Warehouse No. 17]. It is north from Warehouse 12 onwards... Ryo will find out that Mark is being brutally beat up the Mad Angel Gang. Ryo decides to stop this and have a 1-on-5 combat with them. After defeating the thugs, Ryo will have a short talk with Mark near the crane near Warehouse No. 14. After the cutscene has finished, proceed back to the Tomato Mart area where you will meet up with Ojii-san under the staircase found on the right side of the building. He will teach Ryo a new technique indirectly. [If you choose to learn the dodge move, left option for the first occurence. However, if you pick to choose the right option for the first occurence, He will give Ryo a training session.] Talk to him once again and get another note for your notebook. There is now nothing much to do but to return. Therefore, have fun at the Game YOU or have a game of billards [not the entire game! But only a portion of game...] Or you can have a sequence with Harasaki. Note: You can only exit the Warehouse District area until it's 9 pm. [BTW, you need to meet up with Harasaki's friend, she is just outside Game YOU..] Once back at home, it's bedtime and awaits for next day... * If you did not talk to Goro, you will have to repeat everything here once again from the beginning of section 7.4. But it is good if you still want to have fun working in the Warehouse District. _____ / 7.5 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 3: The Chase for Mad Angels! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Once again, it's the third time for a forklift race! As usual, aim for a better position. After the race is done, Mark will award Ryo with his reward [another toy model based on your position]. Now proceed back to work. Once again, you need to take the crates to Warehouse No. 18 but you are located at the extreme end of it. You will start from the area in front of Warehouse No. 8. BTW, don't follow the stupid route given on the map for you need travel across the back area of the warehouses. Once again, here is the map to help you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 7.5a Map of Warehouse District (edited) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _________________ / AH / ___________ ___/ | | | | | 14 | |___|__ |________| | | | | | |___|__| | 13 | | | | CS |________| |___|__| | | |___ __| 12 | | | | | | |___| |__|________| | | | | |________|________ | | 1 | | | |____|____________| | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | ^ ____ ^ | | ^ | 2 | ___ ^ | _______ |_ ^ |____| | 5 | ^ | | | | ^ | 3 | |___| ^ | Map B ___| |___|____| ^ |____| | 6 | ^ | | ^ | 4 | |___| ^ | | |______________________| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |____| | 7 | ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ _______________ . . . . . |___| ^ | _________ ^ _______________ | | | . ____ . ^ ^ ^ | | ^ | TM | || |Alpha | . | 9 |. ^ _____| 18 ^ | | || |Ware- | . |____|xx ^| | . . |_________|_____|| |house | . | 10 |xx | 8 | _________| . |________|______| . |____| | | | . . | 11 | | | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . | | |_____| |_____ _________________________|____|__________| o| | | | Legend [] | | o Vending Machine [] Telephone booth TM Tomato Mart .. To Warehouse No. 18 ^^ Back to Cargo Spot xx Cargo Spot xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hmm.. it will be nuts to follow the return route given on the map. You will definitely waste a lot of time on proceed-and-back trips. Hence, stick to the "..." route for both proceed-and-back trips. Just use only one route. This is rather a nice day as compared to the previous two days. Hence, proceed onto until lunch time at 12 noon. Ryo will once again has his lunch with other fellow companions. Next guess what Harasaki along with her friend comes along with her friend. Harasaki wants to keep a memento of a photo of her and Ryo only. Harasaki's friend just simply take two shots and hands on the photo [it's an automatic type...]. You will be given the chance to pick either one of them. Photo 1: Ryo and Harasaki standing apart [Left option] Photo 2: Ryo and Harasaki standing close to each other [Right option] For my first try, I have pick Harasaki and Ryo standing close to each other and speech doesn't sound too good... After the cutscene, you are free to wander around in the vicinity. As for me, I will try my luck out to win the prizes at the Tomato Mart. (well.. I guess I need to blame on luck...) Once it's 2 pm. Continue back to the work. Hopefully, that you can deliever as many as possible as this batch of cargo cost a lot! You can get a lot of cash! After you have finished your work, you need to meet up with the Mad Angels Gang in the area in front of the Tomato Mart. Actually, the day before, Ryo has tell them that he wants to meet their leader. Just wander around the Warehouse District area until it's 7 pm. The lights will come out and proceed to the small area in front of the Tomato Mart and have a cutscene with Mad Angels Gang on their motorbikes! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE Event - The Bike Chase xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This event just sounds as good as the heading that I have given to it. It was really awesome! Ryo will meet up with 3 of Mad Angels' members and they decide to run their bikes over Ryo! Press <--, -->, (A) You need to dodge the thugs attack by moving left and right. Press (A) to hit the third one off his bike. If you did not do that, it will restart the QTE. Once Ryo gets onto the bike, it's time to rock'n roll! While chasing down at the Warehouse District... <--, <--, (A) Press left twice to move away from the enemy's bike. Once you're hit, you have to restart QTE again. Next press (A) to hit the enemy off his bike. [If you did not do this... you need to restart this QTE.] Now you need to chase the reminding biker.. -->, -->, -->, <--, <--, --> Press Right, Right, Right to dodge and make turns around the warehouses. Press left to move away from the crate. If you are hit in the process, you need to restart all over again. After dodge from hitting on the crate, you will see 2 arrows key [one is facing left and the other is facing right] take the path, the enemy is using. Press Left to follow and you will experience this sequence again and this time take the right path. If you took the wrong path, you need to restart this event all over again. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Well, it finally ends for this awesome bike QTE. You will find out that Ryo has ended in the area where Warehouse 15 to 17 are located. They says that "Rantei" is their boss [That guy is Shouryuu! The villian who killed your father!] Ryo need to combat with 5 of the guys there... note that leader looks familiar... Defeat the five thugs and the leader will challenges Ryo on a 1-to-1 battle. It's Charlie! Defeat him and he says that "Rantei" and Mad Angels are not going to give up so easily... After the event is over, head back home [Remember that it must be after 9 pm so that you can exit the Warehouse District!] Save your game. _____ / 7.6 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Day 4: Confrontation with the Mad Angels! ======================================================================== Things are started to get a bit nasty here. Once Ryo is awake, you have the 4th Forklift Race! (Well, you should expected better results each time...) After the race, you will be given your job and this time is from another location. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 7.6a Map of Warehouse District (edited) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _________________ / . . . . . . .XXXX / . __________XXXX___ ___/ . | | | 15 | | | . | 14 | |______| |___|__ . |________| | | |. | | |___|__|. | 13 | | | |. |________| |___|__|. | | |___ . __| 12 | | | .| | | |___| .|__|________| | . | | | . |________|________ | . | 1 | | | . |____|____________| | . | | . ____ | | . | 2 | ___ | _______ |_ . |____| | 5 | | | | | . | 3 | |___| | Map B ___| |___|____| . |____| | 6 | | | . | 4 | |___| | | |______________________| . . . . . . . . . . |____| | 7 | | . . . . . . . . . _______________ |___| | _________ . _______________ | | | ____ | | . | TM | || |Alpha | | 9 | _____| 18 . | | || |Ware- | |____| | | |_________|_____|| |house | | 10 | | 8 | _________| |________|______| |____| | | | | 11 | | | | | | |_____| |_____ _________________________|____|__________| o| | | | Legend [] | | o Vending Machine [] Telephone booth TM Tomato Mart .. The Route xx Cargo Spot xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This time is much tougher as compared to previous assignments. You need to pass through several cargo sites before you can reached the destination. The horn is an emergency and you really need to use it. [ Press Up to ask fellow forklift drivers to move away..] Just keep on loading until you have lunch break. Once again, you are back at the corridor, along with your workmates. Now you are free to move around in the district. Hence, visit the Tomato Mart and has some fun! After 2pm, you will resume your work. At about the way between the cargo site and Warehouse 1, you will have a cutscene of Goro being beaten up by the Mad Angels. Ryo chases them and eventually is led to a warehouse where he is being surround. Time for a QTE! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE - A wrestling match inside the Warehouse xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (B), (A), (B), (A), ->, Down, (A) In this area, you will have Ryo making use of barrels to beat the thugs into pulp. So that means you get the chance to see a couple of cool actions scenes between Ryo and the thugs. But remember if Ryo is being hit too many times [about 3 consecutive times], you will need to restart the QTE. Hence it is a test on your reflexes. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Now it's time to resume your unfinished assignment... After the work, Ryo will get his pay and have a cutscene with Mark. After the cutscene, exit and return home [once again, you can only return home after 9 pm.] But you can also learn another technique from Ojii-san [->, ->, (Y)+(B)] BTW, if you have time, try to practice your skills. _____ / 7.7 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Day 5: The last day of work... ======================================================================== Once it is the next day, you will have the final and fifth forklift race. After the race, Mark will now handle Ryo his latest assignment and this is pretty interesting [or complex for those who don't know Japanese. For this assignment, you get to enter two warehouses instead of one. There are two different types of cargo. The map (below) illustrates the route. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Figure 7.5a Map of Warehouse District (edited) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Old Warehouse District | |_________________ |_| | | 1 | | | | |____|____________| . . . .

Route A (to Warehouse 8) cc Route B (to Warehouse 18) xx Cargo Spot xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For this assignment, you need to bring the first set of cargo marked "XX" and bring it to Warehouse 8 [marked "IN"]. Next take the cargo placed in OUT and take to Warehouse 18. Just repeated the above procedure. Next you will have your 2-hour break as usual. You should have a cutscene with Goro and his girlfriend, they are tying the knot! Just keep loading and eventually you will have another cutscene in the area found in front of the Tomato Mart. Ryo approaches them in the forklift and they ran away. It is a chase! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE: The Chase at the Warehouse District xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <-, (B), (B), (A) The first four QTE is compulsory and you will have the option of chasing the guy dressed in white or purple... I would opted for the guy in purple as he is running towards a dead end ^_^;) ->, ->, (B), (A), ->, <- This QTE sequence just applies to the guy dressed in purple. As the guy dressed in white, I will try to add it for the next update. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx After Ryo has caught the thug, he will get to know who the leader of the Mad Angels is... This time, you will get your final pay from the foreman at the Alpha Warehouse. Next you will back at the Old Warehouse No. 8 where Ryo will meet up with Chintaijin and Kishou Chin. After the cutscene, you are free to go back to home. Hence, make necessary preparations for the upcoming battles. _____ / 7.8 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== The Midnight Rampage ======================================================================== Ryo will be awake at the 11:30 and he will meet Ine-san at the walkway outside his room. (Or Ryo will be back from the door, if you choose to stay out and he will meet Ine-san at the walkway at 11:30). In 11:45pm, Ryo will received a call from a stranger... guess what!? Harasaki has been kidnapped! Now Ryo decide to seek the meeting at 3:00 am at Warehouse 17 (which is found near Mad Angel's hideout). Now proceed to Dobuita and take the bus. Unfortunately, the bus does not provide services during this time... (hey! You need to move towards the bus stop, or you can't carry on with the story). Now Ryo need to find another form of transportation... Proceed to Yokosuko Japan Knocking Bike Maintence Shop found at the night streets. Now proceed to the door and press (A). There Ryo will have a chat with the owner and the owner will recommed Ryo to visit a person [not sure what his name is..] and he will allow Ryo to use his bike. Now proceed back to Sakuragaoka and proceed to the bike found near A-Pu's Store. Move towards the building, that is located at the back of the house. Next Ryo will meet up with the owner [Nikokiri] and you will get the bike. Well, it's time to have a ride! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Bike Race ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [R] Trigger --> Accelerate [L] Trigger --> Brake D-Pad or Analog Stick --> Turn This section occurs while on the expressway and you will get to see the humps and streetlights of Yokosuka. You will see barriers located on side of the track. [Hmm.. this makes it more like a racing circuit] Unlike the previous races, you will have to race against time. You have just 2 minutes to reach the final destination. If you have seen the underway passage, you are quite close to the Warehouse District. BTW, if you want to defeat this section fast, try to keep your speed between 120 km/h and 160 km/h. If you have failed, you will have restart from the renting bike sequence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There you will have a cool cutscene where Ryo rides the motorbike into the Warehouse District. Finally he is at the front gate of the Mad Angels. Next you will have a free battle with 6 Mad Angel thugs. After defeated them, Ryo will enter the hideout and you will have to fight another 5 thugs. After you have defeated them, you will meet up with Terry [the leader of the Mad Angels] and Harasaki will be freed. Now you will have a romantic cutscene of Ryo taking Harasaki home on the motorbike... Save your game _____ / 7.9 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== A Fair Competition... ======================================================================== The next day, Ryo have flashbacks of Iwao wielding the katana while at the dojo. Next Ryo will be back at the warehouse and he will have a short chat with Tomu at his Hot Dog cart. Next Ryo will proceed to the Alpha Warehouse and meet up with the foreman. Now proceed back to Tomu's Hot Dog Cart and you will have a cutscene with Tomu delivering a powerful turning-kick. Pick the left option to learn the move and he call it the Tornado Kick! [toward, toward+(A), (A)]. You need press the second toward along with the (A) button or you will fail. Just keep on practicing as this move is a really useful technique. Next the usual hyperactive Tomu will start to turn quiet. He's heading back to America... Next you will have a meeting with a member of the Mad Angels [I thought he was Shou as they look so alike...]. Later, Ryo will meet up with Kishou Chin and they will have a duel. It's a Free Battle! This free battle is special as the actions comes so automatic like a movie fight... They will speak too each other like rivals. Once you are down to the end of the fight, both of them get double KO.. [err.. I just can't find another word to replace it ^_^;]. After the battle, you will have a scene which switches to Terry and he is about to assault Shou! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE: Save Shou! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -> Ryo will just pushes away Shou from danger. If you don't do this in time, Shou's going to die. [If you failed, you just have to restart!] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Now the situation become worse and 70 men of the Mad Angels will attack both Ryo and Shou. It is another sub-game of Shenmue.. the 70 Men Battle! Your objective is to knock out every 70 men down. There are three sub-bosses here and they are quite strong. Shou helps out in this area but he will not offer help against the final boss. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ About 70 Men Battle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The battle is just like the free battle mode except you will fight against 70 men. You will see Ryo's health meter placed at its usual spot and the commands is the same as the Free battle. But this is not all. Some of them have weapons and you can slam your opponents onto crates. This is similar to Streets of Rage that you can play in your SEGA Mega Genesis... - Not all 70 men will appear at the same screen [otherwise, you don't have many space...]. You will start off the fight with 6 men and Shou will be helping you. Just defeat them and another men will come to replace the fainted member. Note that you can move from one area to another. - Most of the enemies can be knocked out by 3-kick combo [just press (A), (A), (A)], exceptions are the sub-bosses. The sub-bosses are quite tough as they take a longer time to knock out. BTW, the camera will switches to them when it's time for them to enter. - Your health meter can regenerate if Ryo gets sufficient rest. It takes some time to recover. Running is one method, but it will tire Ryo out. Hence, try to wait for opponents to approach you and kick them off, instead approaching them! - The first sub-boss dressed in an army outfit [similar to Kurita-san], but he is not tough as you can easily knock him out with your combos. Try to go for kicks and punches, instead of throws. - The second sub-boss is the one that I have mistaken him for Kishou Chin. He is carrying a wooden stick [or baseball bat..]. You can't knock out the weapon from his hands. Hence, kicks will be a better option as compared to the punches. The dodging moves that you have learn from Ojii-san comes quite handy against this fella. - The boss is really a mean guy. He is huge and strong. He loves to come near Ryo and grab him for slams and throws. Hence, try to avoid his throws at all costs. They dealt serious damage! Try to keep a distance from the BOSS. You may need to use the run-and-hit strategy. Just make him chase for you and give him a good kick. Kicks work well against this guy. He is quite slow, hence running is quite good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next you will meet up with the leader of the Mad Angels and you will have a short QTE [Press (A)]. This followed by a trashing by Kishou Chin and Ryo gets his required information from the guy. Now you will be back and home, so it's sleeping time... ______ / 7.10 \________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Trip to Hong Kong ======================================================================== This is last section of the walkthrough. You will have a long cutscene of Ryo leaving the house with a backpack. Next he will meet up with Fukuhara. Ine-san just stands in one corner.. Next you will scenes where Ryo walk down the streets of Sakuragaoka and Dobuita. Next at the harbour, Ryo will meet with Chintaijin and Shou. Chintaijin decides to impart Ryo a new technique [back + (X)]. After you will had learnt that technique, he will teach you another technique [back +(X)(A)] Next he will ask Shou to practice with Ryo. Use the first technique. Next for the second practice, use the second technique. After you have learnt both techniques, you will have a farewell bid, unexpectedly that mad fella has come and attack Ryo.. Shou pushes Ryo away and received the damage instead. Next Ryo will have to battle against Chai. It is a free battle. Chai is quite fast and some of his attacks looks werid yet amazingly powerful. You can't trap him in a corner, but you can take him away with kicks and some of the punch combos. If you ran, he will just chase Ryo like a mad dog... [Is he crazy?]. The moment he gets to the back of Ryo, kick him away at all cost as he can do serious damage with a special technique. After you have defeat Chai, the screen will switches to the cutscene where you find Shourryuu boarding on a yacht. While Ryo's attention is away from Chai, Chai suddenly attacks Ryo and you will have the last QTE of the game and perhaps the last of Chai.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QTE - Defeat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Down, (A), (A), (B) If you miss any of them, you just need to restart the entire QTE. He is just too quick... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx After Ryo has defeat Chai, you will have a cutscene where Ryo talk to Chintaijin and Kishou Chin. This is followed by the ending... It's time to bid farewell, see ya! _____ / 8.0 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Miscellaneous ======================================================================== As usual, there is always things that I can't classify elsewhere and normally I would "dumped" it down here in the Miscellaneous section.

[Disc 2] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ______ / 8.2d \________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Collectibles ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It will be nuts to make a list of these items ^_^;. Or it will be like a "Mission Impossible" for me. I had nearly cracked out my brains to make translations of the action figurines but there is still no results. But if there is anyone who can make a list of them, I would be happily to add them. Typically, there are four classes of items: Sonic the Hedgehog Series - You can get all sorts of characters from that series like Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and even Doctor Eggman. Special items include Super Sonic and the Metallic Sonic. Virtua Fighter Series - Well, my knowledge about them is quite weak, but I guess you can get action figurines of them such as Akira [that's the only character I know ^_^;] Vechicle Series - You can get figurines of ships and cars. If you had compete in the Forklift race, Mark can give you a Forklift along with a no. that had stated your position.

Select the desired toy to view them. _____ / 8.3 \_________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Arcade Games / Machines ======================================================================== For games that are kinda long, sub-games is great as it helps to kill time and added more leisure to game. In fact, sub-games also nabs you items/bonuses. In Shenmue, there is an arcade which adds some of previous games made by Yu Suzuki such as Hang On and Space Harrier. There is also a couple of good interesting games such as QTE 2, Darts 7, QTE Title which will make more leisure to the game. A r c a d e G a m e s xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx About Game YOU... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Where is Game YOU? It is located on the other side of Dobuita where it is located left from Tomo's Hot Dog's stall. It is a building which has the following words "GAME" and the lights will be on when it is in its operating hours. The operating hours for Game YOU is between 1000 hrs until 2400 hrs. [10:00 am to 12 midnight]. Outside Game YOU, there are two gotcha-gotcha machines. If you have managed to complete a game, there will be a prize being issued to you by the owner. BTW, there is also a juke box which allows you to listen to songs. There is another series of gameplay at the Tomato Mart found in the Warehouse District, which includes the juke box, Darts 7 and Sega Neo-Darts. You can play Hang On and Space Harrier at home if you managed to win the games at the lucky draw. ___ / I \___________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hang On 100 yen per ride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notice the stationery-fixed game bike located near the entrance? Just simply press A at it. Don't worry if you are close to the door as the doors are automated. Next press Left to play or Right to cancel. Next you will to select the amount of money. [note that you can play for a maximum of 9 tokens or 100 yen]. Next you will be brought to the opening screen and that's where I got the title for this game. Press Start to start the game and (B) to exit. Here are the controls: ======================================================================== How to play? ======================================================================== The controls for this game are: Right press it to move the bike to curve towards right. Left press it to move the bike to curve towards left. [L] press it to decelerate [brake] [R] press it to accelerate [gas] - Note that when curving left/right, you need to push it to the opposite site to prevent the bike from hitting any objects such as signboards or rocks. Ocassionally, you will find the bike slightly tilted and that's a good posture. - When curving, try to slower the speed by press L button as this helps to reduce the occurences that you are going to hit into boards. - Try not to get too closer to your opponents [in fact, you are not challenging them, instead you are challenging the time!] or your bike will lose it balance. - Avoid as many falls as possible. Get a smooth journey and you should be able to finish the game. - It will be safer to remain in the main road compared to staying at the hump [red in colour] - Once the biker has being knocked off the stage, it will takes a longer time for he to get back to the game. 1st time: Biker just slides to the ground. 2nd time: Biker slides to the ground and gets up for a while. Later the biker lies back to the ground again. 3rd time: Biker landed on the ground in his knees... - If your bike goes onto the grass, the speed will be reduced by huge amounts. If you lost balance without knocking into a tree, the bike will start to around in circles. [try to reduce speed to avoid being hit by object.] - More rocks/obstacles will appear in the later stages. - You will start the game with 75 seconds. Once you get to the checkpoint, 60 seconds will be added to the remainding time. Note that trip is not a straight line track as it was seen in the map after you have got a gameover - If you managed get into the scoring list, press [L] to move the letterings to key in your initials. Press [R] to confirm. - When time has reached 11:30 pm while playing the game, you will still be able to play the game, until you have a gameover for that particular token. You will be able to recieved back your unused tokens. If you don't want to continue, just press (B) instead of Start at the opening screen. * You can play this game at home from your SEGA Saturn Set if you have won the game in the lucky draw. ____ / II \__________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Darts 7 100 yen for 5 shots ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are two machines that have this game and they lies adjacent to the Hang On Bike machine. Just examine the machine and press (A). Now you will be given the two options. Pick the left option to play the game. Pick right option to cancel. Next here are the points chart for the dart game. How to play: Just wait for the the correct position and press (A). Note that there is time lapse for doing this. But it doesn't matter if you exceed the time. If you exceed, it is just that you had waste the time bonus. Objectives - Your aim is to hit the circle region to get 2nd chance to play the game. If you managed to get 3 games for the first time, the owner will give you a model of the game. - This game is relatively simple compared to Hang On and other games. Wait for the hand to move around and have the a clear shot. Next press (A) to hit the desired target. - If you hit outside the region, you will get no score. If you hit the center, you will get 20 points. Note that if you hit the red/dark green region, the points will be doubled. The bull eye's is 50 points. - If you hit between the borders, you will get a deduction between: higher points - lower points. Let says if you hit between 20 and 7, you will get 20 - 7 = 13. Worst when you hit between 20 and 19 which will give you a score of 1! But fortunately the 20 and 19 are placed far apart. - If you have hit the inner red circle, (there are two red circles right?) you will be get triple! That means if you hit 20, you will get 60 points! - If you reached 3 games, the game will just end. There is also another machine located in the sitting area of the Tomato Mart in Warehouse District. _____ / III \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ QTE Title 100 yen per game ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For this machine, you will find a boxer in front of the screen. In front of the boxing machine, there is three pads. Here are the buttons for each pad: Left Pad : press [X] to punch the left pad. Middle Pad : press [A] to punch the middle pad. Right Pad : press [B] to punch the right pad. - If you will find three bulbs on the top, next you will find (X), (A) or (A) on the respective pads, just hit according to the punch pad. [It looks like QTE] - If you hit the wrong pad, it will cause you lost a chance. If you hit the correct pad, you will be able to continue. For your information, you can only have 3 lifes maximum. - When you have reached late in the game, you will experience combinations of pads which you need to press the buttons real fast. You will see a great difference compared to those normal punches. For instance, there is a time where you need to hit (A) followed by (B). - BTW, This type of the game is great for testing your reflexes for QTE. ____ / IV \__________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excite QTE 2 100 yen per game ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Like QTE Title, this allows you to get familiar with QTE. However in a different method. You will get a chance to see (A), (B), (X), (Y), <-- or --> just like in ordinary QTE. There will be a time indicator. The faster that you hit the correct signal, you will get more points. Note that you will be given three lives to start the game. - Some signals are very fast [which are quite late in this game], there is a time bar below which indicates the time limit if you do not hit the button in time, refer to the paragraph below. - If you hit the wrong button, watch an annoyed-looking Ryo ^_^; and watch the red icon disappear one by one.. [you will only given three chances for your information.] - BTW, this type of game is great for testing your reflexes for QTE. ___ / V \___________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Space Harrier 100 yen per game ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: The graphics looks quite bad as don't forget that the game is released in 1985 [that's 15 years ago!]. This also applies to Hang On. This game is simply the best time killer game [varies on how much you can go biking and how accurate in darts throwing.]. You can insert multiple tokens [100 yen each, up to the maximum of 9 tokens]. Each token will give you three lives. Note that you will not restart from the game where you have stopped, instead you need to play to the game from the beginning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Controls ------------------------------------------------------------------------ D-Pad Left : move character towards left. D-Pad Right : move character towards right. D-Pad Up : move character towards the top of the screen. D-Pad Down : move the character towards lower end of the screen (X), (Y), : shoot (A) or (B) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is just those gun shooting games in the arcade where you will see an icon of a guy holding a gun and you shoot your foes down! There are a couple of stages [I haven't beat this before...] and you will need to fight a BOSS at the end of each BOSSES. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Stage 1 Walkthrough xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You will find obstacles such as coconut trees, bushes and aerial rocks. The monsters here are quite easy [this also includes the BOSS]. Just battle your way through the underside the rocks. Move away your character from the enemy's attack. You can't block their attacks! There is a group of monsters which will form a triangle formation, you can only defeat them once they have opened up their torso. The trees and rocks will cause you to lose your lives easy. But you can shoot down the trees. The bushes will slow your character down instead. If you got knocked down three times, you will lose another life. ........................................................................ BOSS Strategy ........................................................................ Boss: Dragon Dodge the dragon's fire breath attack. Instead try to hit it repeated with your photon gun. The dragon does not causes damage when it started to move close your character. Just shoot it a couple of times and the dragon will turns into solid rock and explode! ........................................................................ As for next few stages, I will be entering it for next update. [It will applies once I got the game from the lucky draw as I don't feel like wasting 100 yen for playing at the arcade.] ____ / VI \__________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SEGA Neo-Darts 100 yen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This machine is only available at the Tomato Mart found in Warehouse District. Typically it works like Darts 7 except for a few minor differences. I will talk more about this for next update. L e i s u r e xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Machines xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It seems that there is no other space that I can place it in. Hence, I placed it here. Gee... *My head hurts* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Coca-Cola Vending Machines 100 yen per drink ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout the game, you will be able to find Coco-Cola vending machines near shops and parts of the town.

In the past, I guess I have made a whole hell out for my previous japanese FAQ, Final Fantasy VIII. Of course, I have a couple of translations mistakes regarding to the game. To avoid history from repeating, I wished that those who know a bit of Japanese to help me in translating the movelist and perhaps the dialogues in order to make this FAQ more readable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am looking for the following help: - full translations for the movelists.

I have tried my best to answer when possible. Also don't ask me questions which answers can be found in the FAQ. First of all, read the following before sending an e-mail to Scott: - remember to add in "Shenmue" as your subject in the subject field of the e-mail. I have gotten countless e-mails for FF8 and it will help me if you classified it with the game titles. - Next state your question as clearly as possible. If I find the e-mail quite hard to understand, I really don't know how to help it. - Make sure that words are not in CAPS lock [capital letters], which is quite rude, anywhere it doesn't matter to me. But try to avoid it when necessary. Once I got really in a bad mood that I delete all e-mails that written in CAPS lock.. - If a question is too frequently-asked, I will add it to the FAQ under frequently-asked questions section. - Don't expect me to give answers which can be found in the FAQ. Or it will be useless for me to type it out so concisely. - If you have problems in locating a shop/building, refer to the Maps section to settle out those problems. Hopefully, they are readable ^_^;) - BTW, unlike other FAQ writers, I have only one motive and that's to help you guys out there by writting the FAQ as concise as possible. [ in order to give the help that I could]. Well, the FAQ can be proved by judging the amount of e-mails. ____ / IV \__________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Most Frequently Asked Questions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - READ THIS BEFORE SENDING AN E-MAIL. Well, I do accept complaints and comments for my FAQs. I would prefer complaints as it allows me to know what changes can be done for the FAQ. If you have a comments, free to drop an e-mail. [it helps to urge me on!] Q: Can I post the FAQ for my website? A: Sure as long as the following steps are followed: - the disclaimer, including my name and format of the document is not altered. - No changes should not be made to the FAQ. - No HTMLizing of document unless permission granted from the author, as this is same as editing the document. - If you link to GameFAQs, don't link it directly to the FAQ, instead link it to the Shenmue Walkthrough database at GameFAQs. - Make sure you made an attempt to update the FAQ. Q: Where can I get the latest revisions of the FAQ? A: At GameFAQs. If you want your site to be added to the addresses where this FAQ can be gotten, you need to seek permission from me. Q: Can you sent me the FAQ? A: No. Otherwise, I would not have to post it to GameFAQs. Remember that this FAQ is a bit too huge to be posted via e-mail. Remember that you need to get the latest revisions yourself at GameFAQs. (http://www.gamefaqs.com) I know that some guys out there have problems in access to Internet due to personal reasons. But it can't be helped. Anyway, you can always count on a friend to get it for you. I felt quite sorry for WebTV users as they can access a maximum of 170 Kbs. Don't worry, I will try my best to keep this file small. Or I may spilt the FAQ in separate FAQs. Q: What other FAQs that you have written? A: I had written quite a few.. Well, you can check it out at my Contributor page at GameFAQs. Q: Why you haven't answered my e-mail? A: There perhaps may be a few reasons: - school [I still got tons of assignments/projects/tests] - the answer can be found in the FAQ [if you haven't received the e-mail for two weeks]. I always check my e-mails during weekends/ holidays, unless I am really busy for that week. - Other things may coped up. Note that if you can't contact me, feel free to contact other FAQ writers for the particular game. But I will be free most of the time during school breaks. - I may be busy playing the game to uncover more secrets. Q: Could you finished up the walkthrough ASAP? A: I myself have other FAQs to type and play my other games. Normally, the delay for a walkthrough is partially due to my doubts about the game. I need to clear them otherwise, I will be giving false information. This explains why the release of version 1.1 is so late, but the FAQ's key item, the walkthrough is already completed. ________________________________________________________________________ T h a n k y o u f o r r e a d i n g Shenmue FAQ/Walkthrough This FAQ is copyright of Scott Ong 1999-2000.
