Hint: Extra red souls:
When fighting enemies around the floating blue skull-ball things, allow them to absorb the souls that are released when you slay an enemy. When you kill the skull-ball, you will get many more red souls than if you had absorbed them directly from the demon.
Hint: Easy souls:
If you are low on health at the end of the game before facing the Boss go to the entrance of the keep for some battles. By now they should be easy -- just absorb the souls to raise your health
Hint: Defeating Marcellus:
At the end of the game you should have all weapons and orbs at the maximum. When fighting Marcellus again, kick him and use the Thunder Orb's magic. For some reason, this is stronger than his other attacks.
Hint: Defeating Fortinbras:
Start off by doing any type of attack that will make Fortinbras fall to the ground (special attacks will make this quick and easy). From this point on, just keep kicking him to death. Press Down + Attack, move forward, Down + Attack, and repeat. This will take some time. You will never get hit, plus he will not be able to attack you if you can keep the chain kicks going.
Use this strategy if you have only your three normal weapons, and not the secret sword. Kick him, then slash him with the Enryuu Fire Sword. It is the strongest. Give him about five kicks and then deliver a Thunder Orb magic. Repeat this until you have no more Thunder magic remaining. Then, use the Wind Orb magic to knock him down. Use the Fire Orb and some kicks. Most of his attacks are easy to dodge, except the fire.
Hint: Defeating giant monsters with ax:
When fighting the giant monsters with an ax, hold R1 and tap Forward. Immediately after that, attack him quickly. Then, hold R1 and tap Back a few times. Repeat this six or seven times and he will fall on the ground. Run over to him and tap Square as you stand on him. Samanosuke should put a sword through him to kill him. This will result in more souls than if you used magic against him. If the same thing is done with magic, he will fall immediately.
Hint: Blinking eye:
When you have an Orb in your gauntlet, stand still for a few seconds and the eye will blink.
