![]() This generation is not like the last, and you can scarcely find a better demonstration of that than Okami, a game that stands out even more now than it did in 2006. As Spinal Tap once sang: "The more it stays the same, the less it changes."īut as I explore Clover's wonderful, mystical adventure again in this handsome new reissue for PS3, I can't claim that I'm experiencing total déjà vu. Now Craig is back on our screens, rebooting his reboot in Skyfall, and console gamers are once again wringing the last drops of enjoyment from tomorrow's useless plastic and looking forward to the next round. That was six years ago - not that long in real terms, but an entire generation in the weird world of pop culture, where reinvention is everything. (I can't say where, but you can probably figure it out and find the review online.) Daniel Craig's first James Bond film was in cinemas around then, and PlayStation 3 was on the point of release in Japan and the US. ![]() Hop aboard Orca (he's often found near the dock where you first found him) and ride him into the whirlpool to travel to Dragon Palace.I've played Okami before. It'll take three Galestorms in all to open up the whirlpool in the ocean. While standing on the whirlpool stone tablet, use Galestorm brush strokes to spin the galaxy. Use your celestial brush to paint a single dot in the sky, creating the shooting star and revealing the whirlpool galaxy.įollow the path to the north and the camera will swing up to highlight the whirlpool galaxy. Talk to him at night and he'll ask for a shooting star. Talk to the watcher on the ledge and he'll tell you about the missing whirlpool galaxy. Just avoid him entirely and wait for the mask to go back on before attacking. You can equip the Fire Tablet item to make Amaterasu invulnerable to the enemy's attacks, but watch out if the cyclops takes off his mask. Power Slashes will get blocked by the mask he's wearing, and using other brushstrokes seems to provoke the enemy into more aggressive tactics. To fight the cyclops, simply jump at him and unload with Devout Bead attacks. Once there, move forward and you'll be attacked by a new enemy type, the cyclops. Run to the statue and use your new Catwalk brush technique to climb to the top of the cliff. Return to North Ryoshima Coast to continue the quest.Ĭheck your map for a small icon to the west that shows the location of a cat statue (there's a second one very close to the mermaid spring you came through). When you're ready, drop down to the spiral stairway and use a mermaid coin to activate the spring. Use Catwalk on the tower behind you to climb further towards the top (there's a sun fragment hidden behind the large cat statue). With a new skill learned, it's time to test it out. Complete the constellation (four stars needed) to earn the Catwalk brush technique. Offer the kitten your fish feedbag and you'll be met by another brush god. Look for a path to the south that leads to a hungry kitten. Double jump into the tower's top hull and continue up the spiraling stairs to reach an outer walkway. ![]() You can find some rare goodies if you take the time to check 'em out.Įventually, after a very long climb, you'll find yourself at the top of the tower. ![]() As you make your way up, look for stopping points in the form of small platforms that stick out from the sides of the tower. Keep jumping upwards, clinging to the orange-glowing portions of the tower to continue your ascent. If you don't, backtrack to a merchant and purchase one. Before committing to this ascent, make sure you have at least one fish feeding bag in your possession. ![]() Amaterasu should cling onto the side of the tower. At Issun's urging, jump onto the tower and press the jump button a second time. Defeat the enemy with Galestorm and Veil of Mist brush techniques, then examine the circular pad in front of the tower. You'll be greeted by a new enemy time upon entering the Catcall Tower. ![]()
