Way of the Samurai 2 Codes and Secrets (PS2)
Change character code and unlock attires
Way of the Samurai 2 is set during feudal era Japan at the end of the Edo period, in the conflict laden town of Amahara. A once peaceful town, Amahara has become the center of a tense conflict between two powerful forces at the expense of its innocent townspeople. The Amahara magistrate office, which once upheld peace and justice, has succumbed to the suppression ideology of the rising feudal government and has become an extreme tyrannical force that rules the innocent townsfolk. They are at odds with a rogue group of warriors known as the Aoto gang. Like the magistrate office, this group had long represented values of loyalty and chivalry, but the death of their former leader left them vulnerable. Several would -be successors began claiming rights to leadership and the gang soon transformed into an uncontrollable group of arrogant and violent vigilantes that terrorize the defenseless citizens of Amahara.CodesChange Character code (US version)When creating a new character highlight the "Name" option and enter the following code VERY quickly.L1,R2,R1,L2,L1,R2,R1,L2,Square,Right - allows you to select various new characters as the main character In-Game Codes (JP Version)Enter the following at the pause menu:Holding L1+L2, press Left, Left, Up, Down, Down, Up, Square - Gain 500 mon (the smallest form of money in Edo Japan) L1, R1, L1, R1, L2, R2, Triangle - Most items available (JP version) Holding L1+R1, press Down, Up, Right, Left, Down, Up, Square - Regain all health Holding L2+R2, press Right, Left, Right, Left, Down, Down, Square Regain all stamina UnlockablesUnlock AttiresUnlocks more attires for the characters to wear.Unlock Attires - Finish the game on any difficulty repeatedly and you'll notice that more attires have been unlocked.
