Adventures of Heihachi
来自 Onimusha Wiki
Adventures of Heihachi is a playable minigame in Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. It is unlocked by clearing the main game on any difficulty. Unlike other minigames, Adventures of Heihachi plays similarly to the main game, though the player gains control of Tadakatsu Heihachiro Honda for the duration of this minigame.
This minigame reveals the events in Sakai following Jacques' successful boarding of the western ship, and reveals why Heihachi briefly appears in the Undersea Temple. Clearing this minigame does not unlock anything.
Summary
Following the departure of the western ship, Heihachi approaches Samanosuke and attempts to explain why he initiated his previous challenge, but the two soon learn that the Genma are attacking the town and agree to a temporary alliance in order to stop them. Samanosuke spends the duration of the minigame at the damaged drawbridge fighting the majority of the Genma while the player is tasked with visiting the local blacksmith in order to repair it. Reaching the Blacksmith building reveals that only the blacksmith's assistant remains after the former was killed by Genma, though the player is given Oni Dust and a memo explaining that it can open a temporary portal to the Undersea Temple.
With the Genma having stolen the Crimson Stone necessary for the repairs, the player is tasked with entering the Undersea Temple and retrieving it, though upon entering, the player is presented with a five minute time limit, though the time will only count down during gameplay and will pause during cutscenes and while transitioning from one area to another. If the player fails to retrieve the Crimson Stone and escape the Undersea Temple in that time, they will instantly die. Once the player reaches the western chamber, they will be trapped inside until they defeat the Dark Spider and pick up the Crimson Stone that it drops, allowing them to return to the portal and escape once a cutscene plays. Gertrude and Genma Ranmaru can be found attempting to stop the player, but defeating them is not required.
Upon successfully escaping, the player is then tasked by the assistant with collecting water from the wharf in order to forge the ironstone, being given a large barrel to in order to do so. The water can be collected from the water in the same area that the player started in, but once it has been filled, the player will lose water whenever they are hit. While blocking a hit will reduce the amount of water lost, being knocked to the ground will cause them to lose all remaining water, requiring them to go back and collect more. A Nuraubis will be found blocking the entrance to the blacksmith when attempting to deliver the water, but while it is difficult to defeat it without losing water, it will not respawn after being defeating it should the player need to return to refill their barrel.
The player is not required to have a full barrel of water in order to succeed, and can even deliver less than half of a full barrel to the assistant. Successfully delivering the water will cause the assistant to give the Crimson Gear in return, at which point the player must return to the drawbridge in order to insert the gear in to the mechanism next to the drawbridge, allowing them to lift it. A swarm of Genma consisting of multiple Don Gacha and Zombie Axemen will then spawn, requiring the player to defeat them all, at which point a final cutscene will play before the minigame is completed.
Trivia
- Adventures of Heihachi is the only minigame in the series that acts as an extension to the main game and plays as such rather than consisting of an alternate challenge.
- Despite taking place exclusively in 1582, the Genma-converted Ranmaru Mori appears as a skippable mini boss.
- While the Genma Tonbo has low damage, it is possible to defeat Genma Ranmaru in time through the use of Issens, though it is not required. Doing so will cause him to drop a Secret Med.
- This minigame is the only instance that Genma Ranmaru and the Zmoh appear in 1582, though the Zmoh can appear in the Dark Realm.
- While the Genma Tonbo has low damage, it is possible to defeat Genma Ranmaru in time through the use of Issens, though it is not required. Doing so will cause him to drop a Secret Med.
