Kuon (2004) - Walkthrough Part 1 - PS2 Gameplay - Full Yang Phase Playthrough Part 1 - All Cutscenes, Commentary. Sacred Cloth: Mars location / Dokai Boss / Wooden Handle Location Shrine: Hall.

Playstation 2 has many horror games, and Kuon is a believed cult classic in a sea of legends. This is my blind playthrough of PS2's Kuon, starting with Yin Phase as Utsuki, we introduce ourselves to the characters and story of Kuon. With a strong horror atmosphere, the opening of this game is enough to make any survival horror fan excited.

In this episode of Yang Walkthrough of Kuon (PS2): Doryo sends Sakuya through Shrine: Hall towards Utsuki's room. We discover we need the Sacred Cloth: Mars to open certain doors, and Sacred Cloth Neptune and Sacred Cloth: Uranus. In Utsuki's room, Sakuya finds a cocoon about to hatch and a few diaries, including Kureha's diary of her writings on the rot and transformation her body was going through, as well as Kureha discovering Utsuki hand a hand her her death. Suddenly, a cutscene plays, and we see Utsuki beg Kureha to calm down, as Kureha shows an evil aura and pushes Utsuki to the ledge of the same cliff she fell from years before. Utsuki gets shoved and falls off the cliff. Sakuya sees it all unfold, as well as the downed body of her brother; Doryo, laying by the Mulberry Tree. Letting out a call towards her brother, Kureha hears Sakuya and turns her head towards the sister. Sakuya makes her way through the building, to head back to Doryo, in hopes of saving her brother. But it's here in the Shrine: Hall, that a new foe appears; Dokai. Dokai is the oldest of Doman's disciples. Wise powerful. Dokai was also the man we see run from Utsuki in her playthrough. Now here, he's one again a boss fight, and enemy of Sakuya. Having died, he wants to use Sakuya to fuse and become stronger. Defeating Dokai in the Shrine: Hall will reward you with the Sacred Cloth: Mars. Now with Sacred Cloth: Mars, we can go further into Shrine: Hall and find new items, including the Ruby Fan and the Wooden Handle location. The Wooden Handle used later to stop water.

Kuon, by Fromsoftware is a Sony Playstation 2 (PS2) survival horror video game in which the player takes on the role of three characters—Utsuki, Sakuya, and Abe no Seimei—exploring the buildings and grounds of Fujiwara Manor. The characters are seen from an overhead third-person fixed perspective. The characters navigate the mansion during gameplay; the standard pace is a slow walk, with an option to run, but comes with a greater risk of attracting enemies. To progress the game, the characters explore the mansion to solve puzzles and find key items. Items are displayed in environments using flashing points of light. From the beginning of the game, certain doors within the mansion grounds are sealed, and require a particular item to open. These items can be restricted to particular characters.

During navigation, the characters are attacked by monsters, many of which are drawn by noise. The characters have access to different weapon types; Utsuki uses a knife, Sakuya uses a fan, and Abe no Seimei, a naginata. There is no lock-on, meaning characters must be aligned manually before attacking an enemy. The characters can also find a limited number of spell cards during exploration, which can be used in combat. There are two types of cards; projectiles that trigger an immediate attack, and summoning papers that create an allied creature for a limited time that attacks enemies.

Navigation is impeded by areas of negative energy, both occurring naturally and when enemies appear. The characters can be afflicted with vertigo when low on health, or struck by dark energy; when struck by the energy when running, the character is momentarily stunned. The character can recover by standing still and using meditation to restore health and remove the vertigo effect. The player can also use healing items found around the manor to restore health.

Kuon (PS2) takes place in and around Fujiwara Manor, an estate in Kyoto, Japan during the Heian period. Central to the plot are two magical Mulberry trees planted near the present Fujiwara Manor by the Hata clan. The trees birth silkworms which weave cocoons around the dead and resurrect them. The resurrection can only be sustained by merging with other living beings, including humans, and absorbing their grudge. The ultimate goal of the Mulberries is to perform the merging nine times, completing the Kuon Ritual and birthing a being which will become a new Mulberry.

This Kuon walkthrough was recorded on PCSX2 emulator ISO at 1440p, so the graphics look beautiful and sharp. My playthrough didn't run into any problems. Though during gameplay, a few funny moments happen due to the widescreen hack on the emulator, but gameplay of Kuon is just perfect.

I love horror games, and the Sony PS2 is my favourite. Enjoy my full playthrough and commentary!
