Purchase the Golden
Fury attack from the
sensei at Shinshu
Field. The move
costs 100,000 Yen,
but it's well worth
it--Golden Fury lets
you pee on your
opponents for
damage.
When you first get
the Devout Beads
divine instrument,
set them as your
primary weapon and
move your reflector
to your secondary
weapon. You can then
perform a parry move
by pressing TRIANGLE
during combat. Time
the parry just
before an enemy
attack hits you and
you'll counter with
a pile driver that
kills many enemies
instantly.
There are two
loading screens in
Okami:
The first one is a
trail of paw prints
followed by a
picture of Issun,
you can make the paw
prints bigger by
pressing X a little
bit before they
appear.
The second is a
screen where
pressing X multiple
times will place a
number of paw prints
on the screen.
On particularly long
loading sessions one
can attain demon
fangs. By carefully
pressing X on the
"trail"
loading screen all
the way through
where you would
normally see Issun,
you will see big paw
prints and a demon
fang. The second
type press X as fast
as you can until you
see a demon fang.
Each time you do
this correctly those
demon fangs will be
added to your
inventory.
