Chapter 5 starts to get a bit more mellow again, after you go into the
Osaka house... although there are some kinda tough ghost battles now in
really tight corridors or cramped rooms... Another path in there opened
up, and I found the key to the door where Mayu is trapped...
Went back to Mayu... but on the way there, I encounter a really hard
battle in that underground area with a well... two ghosts that have an
aura of pitch darkness... the closer you get to them, the less you are
able to see...
I heard Mayu's voice once I entered that corridor again.. but when I got
to that door, it was already open and Mayu was gone.. went back
outside, and saw Mayu up on that bridge that connects the two houses...
when I try following her there, the door she went through is locked...
The prisoner guy tells me to go to the temple to find the key to the
main entrance of the Kiryu house... and from the Kiryu house I can open
up an underground passage into the Tachibana house where Mayu is...
The game starts actually getting hard now... I got caught by a ghost
when trying to pick up the key in the temple, and got killed by the
multi-ghost battle there... 2nd attempt I managed to avoid getting
caught. I kinda have a feel for how to avoid those ghost jump scares
now.
Chapter 6 starts when I enter the Kiryu house through the main entrance
that was locked before... This is the same house that has the film reel
room where you can see videos that you've found. This house is much more
confusing than the Osaka house, but not as ominous as the Kurosawa
house... There are a ton of non-hostile ghost appearances here... mostly
of child twins...
And the lore I'm picking up here is getting really good... There was
this one twin who was forced to kill her sister... and then the father
created a doll of her sister to give to her... and later the doll became
possessed and the girl was talking to it and stuff. The dad determined
the doll was evil and must be killed, but the girl didn't want to kill
the doll...
The Kiryu house and the Tachibana house are where each of the two twins
are raised until they are ready to go to the Kurosawa house to perform
the ceremony.. The Kiryu house has an underground passage that connects
to the Tachibana house, and the Tachibana house has an overhead bridge
leading to the Kiryu house... referred to as something like the "hell
tunnel" and the "heaven bridge" or something... The mechanism to unlock
the tunnel is broken, and I have to find the missing parts of one of the
twin dolls to fix it...
Here's where I start having a lot of game overs... So many awkward
battles in close quarters... I like how the twin ghosts are trying to
protect the pieces of the doll..
holy glob... the dollmaker ghost... this is an insanely hard battle... I
actually got legit frustrated and started yelling at the game here,
because I wasn't sure how I was supposed to avoid all the invincible
possessed dolls attacking me, and the dollmaker himself rarely ever
makes himself visible, and will vanish if you get too close to him while
he's controlling the dolls. I don't understand this battle at all...
but somehow I managed to get a double fatal frame combo on him with 90
film and finally defeated him. The atmosphere of that battle is really
amazing though that's for sure...
And just when I thought the chapter was done, I have to fight another
kinda difficult battle against the twin ghosts... It took me until after
the battle to figure out what their gimmick was... They always surround
you on opposite sides... and only one of them is the real one and will
show their face when they attack, opening them up to a fatal frame shot.
The fake one will not show their face when they attack, and will never
take damage... I think this battle is exclusive to the Wii version too
because I don't see it in the guide.
Stopped right at Chapter 7... That creepy laughing woman ghost (who I think represents Sae) made Mio drop her camera and run...
