Key Items
These items are mandatory for progression through Ebisugaoka and must be collected in the proper sequence.
1. Bloody Key
Location: Second floor of the main building
How to Find: Head upstairs from the entrance. Look for a bloody mask on the wall - interact with it to obtain the Bloody Key.
Purpose: Opens the initial locked door to progress further into the area.
Tip: This is typically the first key you'll need. The bloody mask is hard to miss as it stands out against the wall.
2. Back Door Key
Location: Ground floor, opposite the main staircase
How to Find: After using the Bloody Key, explore the room across from the stairs. The Back Door Key sits on a coffee table.
Purpose: Unlocks the back door, allowing access to the area where the Whale Omamori is located.
Tip: Don't leave this area without collecting this key, as it's required to reach one of the Omamori charms.
Omamori Charms
Omamori charms provide protective benefits and are essential for various game mechanics. This area contains one charm.
Whale Omamori
Location: Underground area accessible via ladder
Prerequisites: Back Door Key (required to access this area)
How to Find: Use the Back Door Key to unlock the rear exit. Descend the ladder you'll find, then turn around immediately after reaching the bottom. The Whale Omamori will be visible nearby.
Benefits: Provides protective effects and is required for Omamori collection achievements.
Tip: The "turn around" instruction is crucial - many players miss this charm by continuing forward after climbing down the ladder.
Offerings
Offerings can be exchanged at Hokora shrines for Faith points, which are used to purchase upgrades and items.
Antique Comb (300 Faith)
Location: Near the main staircase
How to Find: Look for a low wall right next to the stairs in the main area. The Antique Comb sits prominently on this wall.
Value: 300 Faith points when offered at a Hokora shrine
Tip: Save high-value offerings like this one for when you need specific upgrades, as Faith points can be scarce early in the game.
Related Trophy: "Like the Fleeing Hare"
Trophy: Like the Fleeing Hare (Bronze)
Requirement: Escape from the Fog Monster without being hit
Location: During the escape sequence in Ebisugaoka
Trophy Strategy
- Movement: Press L3 (left stick) to run - this is faster than normal walking
- Obstacles: Use Cross (X) button to climb over obstacles quickly
- Hazards: Avoid red tendrils on floors and walls - these will damage you
- Path: Stick to clear paths and don't take unnecessary detours
- Retry: If you get hit, you can restart the sequence or allow yourself to die and try again
Important: This trophy must be earned during the escape sequence. You cannot return to attempt it later, so focus on avoiding damage rather than exploring during this chase.
