Chapter 12 - Osaka Castle

After opening (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)), you must get Kiryu to Aoi. Avoid people and thugs on the street. Head south, then east and around to Aoi to avoid interception.

Kiryu receives a note about Haruka's kidnapping. This wound has no effect on gameplay.

Head to the Golf Center. Speak to the man in the suit and defeat him in a boss fight.

You'll be called by Kurokawa. Beat up his goons and him to learn that Esaki, the mahjong guy, is in the Acupuncture Clinic.

Go to the Acupuncture Clinic, find Esaki, and fight him. He will reveal Haruka is in Osaka Castle.

Take a taxi to Osaka Castle.

Head inside and begin the battle against odd enemies, including Kuneida (a guy with a fan).

Head up the stairs. Before entering combat, find a gap in the wall to get an energy drink and a Demon Blade Myogetsu.

Return to the main room. Watch out for a spear trap and defeat two ninja guys, then three more in the next room.

Continue to the third floor. Navigate the maze, looking at the (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) to find your way. Dead ends contain items and more combat. Find a Ninja Dagger in the southwest corner and an Iron Spear in the southeast corner.

Exit east, defeating ninjas, and head to the fourth floor.

Grab the gatling gun and shoot enemies. Watch out for two samurai coming up the stairs. Use the gun to clear the area.

Defeat all enemies. Energy drinks are available, but nothing else notable. Continue to the fifth floor.

Fight Kuneida and his entourage again. He will call a second group when his health is low. Watch for spear traps.

Head up the stairs once all enemies are down.

At the top, Sengoku will taunt you and release two tigers. Use low attacks and keep moving. High attacks go over the tigers. Use the Iron Spears on the wall for reach. Blocking or dodging their attacks is difficult.

Finish the tigers off with Quick Time Events (QTEs). Kiryu will perform the Komaki Tiger Drop.
