************************************************************************************************ PART 6 ************************************************************************************************
----------- Time System:* ----------- There is a "Time System" within "Way of The Samurai 2". One day is divided into five parts: Early Morning Morning Afternoon Evening Late Night While travelling for long periods of time, you will notice that a "thunder" icon will flash on top of your "Break Meter". This means that

when you leave the current area you are in, time will change to the next part. For example, it is morning at the "Meeting Place" and then the "thunder" icon flashes, when you leave the "Meeting Place", you will notice that the map will show you the date of the day as well as what period you are in. There is a way to skip time.

In "Otsuka-cho", the one that has the "Empty House", go inside the Empty house and you will be presented with six choices: Take a Nap - Skip Current Period Lie Down - Skip Two Periods Sleep a Bit - Skip Three Periods Sleep - Skip Four Periods. Deep Sleep - Skip 5 Periods. Also skips to next day, same period Leave

House Example: 1. Current Period is Early Morning. Target Period is Afternoon. Choose "Lie Down". Reason: Choosing "Lie Down" will skip the current period (Early Morning) and the next period (Morning). You end up with Afternoon.

Although there are multiple ways on how to achieve a certain ending, this guide will give you a sure way to reach the ending that you want to see. -------------------- Lone Samurai Endings:* -------------------- -------------------- How To Get Ending 1: -------------------- Day: 21 - Morning Sayo is offering you food. There will be

THREE choices: A. Best rice-ball I've ever tasted! B. What're you looking at? Disappear! C. Thanks, you saved my life! Choose B. The girl will leave you alone. The Aoto Three will stop you, and you will have THREE choices: A. You're blocking traffic. Now move. B. I'm searching for the meaning of life. C. Violence

doesn't solve anything. Choose the B and they will leave you. From now on, you are free to do whatever you want. This is a good time to get accustomed to every place. Review the "Areas In The Game" section. You can just let the days pass by until it is already Day 26. Day: 26 - Late Night In a cutscene, you will be shown

wandering into the festival, while a group led by Kyojiro will enter the scene and attack Muto from the police group. You will be caught in the middle of the big fight, and if you get into their line of sight, they will attack you.
***********************************************************************************************
Festival Grounds Battle Tip: Since you are not part of any group, both teams will attack you. You might as well run away if you can and let them kill each other. Usually in the end, only the IMPORTANT characters will remain since they are more powerful. You have three main opponents here: Kyojiro, Muto, and Kuroha.

Kyojiro Battle Tip: You must avoid her combination attacks because they are devastating, especially if you are low on health. Her combination attacks also build up your "Break Meter" fast. It would be best not to block her attacks all the time, unless you are good at parrying then counter attacking. Otherwise, just hit her and then

run away from her. Muto Battle Tip: His attacks are easier to parry than the Kyojiro's. His moves are easy to read so it would be alright to engage him with parries and counter attacks. Kuroha Battle Tip: His attacks can be read, but one of his attacks is very fast. You can counter him quite easily, just stay out of the way when he

starts his motion for attacks
***********************************************************************************************
Kill them all and the segment will end. Afterwards, it will turn to Day 27. You will also have no other choice as to where to go, except for "Otsuka-cho", the one with the Empty House. Once you enter it, there will be another cutscene where the Kusaburo will tell you about something. You will then be brought the some guy's

place and you will have only one choice to make. Accept it and you will see another cutscene. You will surprise the Hanzaemon and you will both battle.
***********************************************************************************************
Hanzaemon Battle Tip: His attacks come out very fast, and they are very damaging, both to your health and to your sword. Since you are fighting inside an enclosed area, it is made more difficult by this. Only good timing for parrying and a generous amount of health will save you. Use your fastest attacks since if you only use

powerful and slow attacks, he will have slashed you three or four times already.
***********************************************************************************************
Kill him and another cutscene will play. There will be TWO choices: A. Not interested. B. Sounds interesting... Choose A and watch Lone Samurai Ending 1.
