You can get Basic Scrolls from the merchant in Takatane Village, and you can get those (in addition to every other type) from the weapons merchant in Posting Station. Pour all the money you have into them since you're going to need a LOT of scrolls to get those Stance Mastery trophies, then kill the merchant and take your money right back. Instant refund.

At that rate, I'm not sure, that's never happened to me before... I'd leave it and come back to it. It seems that some of the skills overlap anyway so maybe you'll catch them on another sword.

Bare hands, dual sword and ninja dual sword stance mastery trophies can be unlocked without having any swords in your inventory, but yes, if you collect all of the swords in the list and learn 100% of the skills, you'll earn all of the other stance mastery trophies. I recommend holding on to all of them in your weapon safe, also... not sure if you actually need to possess all of them to get the trophies, but that's a chance I wasn't willing to take, and, regardless, I found it helpful to double-check which swords I'd learned all of the skills for.

cool G Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 i'm having a hard time finding Suzumushi, Kizume, Endou, and Mujin-tou Only a few more trophies and im going Any tips to find that weapons?? I rented this game 2 weeks ago, and tomorrow i have to return it Thx before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxelrod Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I dont understand why you need to find all 102 weapons to get the trophies... why isn't it enough to just get 1 weapon of each stance and master it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionBasturd Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Because certain weapons of the same stance have different skills to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxelrod Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Because certain weapons of the same stance have different skills to learn. Yeah... but do you really need ALL the weapons? I assume if you just get half the weapons in a stance, they will have all the skills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice_Mizer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yeah... but do you really need ALL the weapons? I assume if you just get half the weapons in a stance, they will have all the skills? No, because certain swords will carry one-of-a-kind moves that aren't present on other swords. You're allowed a little leeway on not collecting swords but only on a few of the branches, most of them require 100% sword collection for each to get every move on them.

DEVILRYUUJIN Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 if you put the game on instant kill and keep following guys with different stances/color weapons? you will definitely get most of the weapons within 20 hours of gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco_Bim Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I found alot of the weapons on instant kill, I was able to farm most of my missing ninja stance weapons from the samurai killer and the quest Kiyonari gives you to kill the Ninja's in Castle Minori that's were I got Kizume. Also the posting station is a good area to farm most other weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarGate55555 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 There are 102 unique swords and spears to be found in Amana (disregarding custom weapons), and you're going to have to find most, if not all, of them to earn the Stance Mastery trophies. In hopes of compiling a comprehensive guide, I encourage members to post the location of weapons they found, and the difficulty level they were playing when they found it. Upper Stance: Kokushi-tou Ochigumo Sasakure Agemaki Ishimatsu Todomeki Dasaku Shishi-Funjin Ryurai-Zetten Nozuchi Old Style Samehadamaru Ookuronama Batsu-ichi Monka-Bokuto Hoe Middle Stance: Moderate Blade Akisame Wasabi Utsusemi Kikusui Rehou-Masakuni Onikirimaru Samurai Sword Dull Blade Kakitsubata Chabashira Gankutsu-tou Oborozukiyo Manji-Kabura Kabura-Sutegi Bokuto Stick Tuna Lower Stance: Amanojaku Soumatou Caterpillar Gokumon Ebiten Hassakutou Amabiki Toragozen Murasakimaru Kofu-Zecchi Ippatsumaru Ouganken Side Stance: Shigemori Shindou Tuchigumo Hisame Harusaki-Kobeni Chikotsu Matsukaze Secchin Oukasagetsu Kagebouzu Mujin-tou Kansei My Hoe Draw Stance: Kunisada Hakugei Tamayura Shirai-tou Suzumushi Yudachi Hyakki-Yagyo Haijin Gekkou Benihime Zannkimaru Single Stance: Benibotan Yaochou Ama-Otome Seimei Oboro-Nue Soukasuiren Saboten Hakuu Nozuchi New Style Binetsu Biteikotsu Short Green Onion Ninja Stance: Sayoshigure Kizume Kuzu-no-ha Yume-kochou Yagarasu Muramasa Kuro-tonbo Zangetsu Ukigumo-kodachi Kurotaka Spear Stance: Houzuki Masai Sazanka Kotobuki-Taisha Mikazuki Jakou Rasetsunyo Endou Bamboo Spear Long Green Onion Broom ama-otome , i found it on instant kill in guard gate on the girl that u can buy/sell from she also dropped a gold egg. the sword is red handle and the cover is red/white (zig zag collors). Haijin and Ouganken: on instant kill i did the join ouka clan and killed all 3 (yuma, itsuse. genjugo) dont know if spelling correct but u get it. also right after i killed them the little cut scene that makes me the leader all the people that were bowing to me i killed and they dropped the 2 swords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarGate55555 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 i agree but then again if u look every weapon has a stance and each stance has a different way of using. i think it should be easier to master each stances, not by having mastered all swords but rather each stance having a tree of skill. cause its pissing me off to try to get all 102 swords i can get most of them but there are about 3 rare swords that are eluding me and pissing me off. (my hoe, Samehadamaru, Ukigumo-kodachi) i have tried to get the ukigomo on different difficulties in omiki but still no luch tried like 15 times. getting frustrated now. ..............

StarGate55555 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 to get all of the stances without having 100% on all. i recommend buying about 50 scrolls from all 3 types (basic, advanced, special) and once u have all the 102 weapons in ur inventory just upgrade all weapons in 1 category only once trophy pops up do not save but reset game and restart the new stance that way u can get all stance trophies without trying to buy like 300 of each scroll. hope this helps. FYI: once u get used to the game i recommend playing in instant kill and u will get a lot of new weapons that u couldnt get before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
