OTOGI(US)_030627 7/1/03 9:53 AM Page 1 Front Cover OTOGI(US)_030627 7/1/03 9:53 AM Page 2 Safety Information About Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a welllit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner's manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner's manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

His clan is thought to exist closest to death on the bridge that separates the world of the dead from the world of the living. This is why Raikoh knows when it is time for someone new to die. Though Raikoh was charged with this duty to deal out death by the Court he was always bothered by the task before him. One day he was given an order by the Court to end his father's life. Raikoh refused and ran away from the Court, abandoning his duty. He almost died when the Great Seal collapsed, yet the Princess saved him from death, but held him in a state between life and death. Raikoh must fulfill the quests set forth by the Princess and in doing so will cleanse the impurity of the past from his clan. Female Unknown The Princess has given Raikoh the power to remain in the world of the living in exchange for his servitude. She assigns him quests and by performing these tasks she will purify his past mis-deed. Personal details are unknown. Despite her calmness, her adamant resolution shows through in her cold voice. Nobody, even Raikoh, has ever seen her real face. 4 5 OTOGI(US)_030627 7/1/03 9:53 AM Page 6 Expansion Slot A Expansion Slot B 1 2 Right trigger G:Lock-on demons Left trigger G:Dash if pressed while moving the Left thumbstick /Directional Pad.

Charging Spells When casting a Spell, press and hold the c button down for a while. The spell will begin to charge.

The green balls (Life) on the outer side indicate your HP. The purple gauge on the inner side indicates your current Magic Power. It goes down as time goes by. The speed at which Power goes down may change by casting spells. The Magic Power gauge can be recovered to a certain extent by obtaining Planetary Stones (see p.25) or defeating enemies that appear in the game. Your life will decrease if you are attacked by enemies, or are hit by falling debris from destroyed buildings. If one of the balls on the Life Gauge remains partially full it will recover over time. Acquiring an Enchanted Lotus (see p. 25) will also recover Raikoh's life force. Note that Life can be recovered only when there is Magic Power left in the Gauge. If Magic Power goes down to 0, the Life Gauge will turn red and decrease as time goes by. The game will be over if the Life Gauge is depleted and your Hit Points becomes 0. Life can be increased by obtaining Mercy Orbs (see p.25). Raikoh's status changes by receiving certain types of damage from enemies. Silence Jyubaku Raikoh cannot use Spells for a given amount of time. Flame Red The Attack power, Defense Power and Jumping power reduce to half. Flame Blue HP Gauge of demons The HP Gauge of demons is displayed when you hold down the Right thumbstick and inflict damage to demons within a certain distance. Life continues to go down for a given amount of time. Flame Black Continues to burn for a short while even with White Serpent Amulet equipped. Frost The most powerful type of fire that continues to burn, even with the White Serpent Amulet equipped. Magic Power continues to decrease for a given time. These status changes will be recovered if a given amount of time passes or when you obtain an Item (Dragon's Eye. see p.25) that helps restore Raikoh's status. 12 13 OTOGI(US)_030627 7/1/03 9:53 AM Page 14 Stage Clear & Game Over Result Game Flow This describes the Game's flow.
