The Secret Behind The Wooden Sword:
Wonder what that wooden sword is for?
Well, it's not great until you upgrade it fully, at which time it becomes Unlabored
Flawlessness, a giant sweeping weapon that does serious damage.
Windmill Shuriken:
Next to Han's Bar is an alley. You'll notice some tell-tale
blue stripes right outside it. If you follow the blue stripes by wall running
down the alley, you can jump up to a ledge containing the sweet Windmill Shuriken
as well as a silver Xbox that heals you.
Unlimited Essence:
While in the Aquaduct chapter go to the room with all the big black bugs.
Kill all the bugs until you're allowed to exit the room. Once out, save your game.
Go back to the bugs room and use the Dabilaroh and use the full essence power up and kill about 50 bugs,
exit save and continue this process until you have 99999 in essence.
