Yeah. I know the one. I killed him a few times myself.
It\'s a very strange and frustrating puzzle as you already know but I found some help at the Gamefaq.com Onimusha board.
- Water Trap Puzzle: You need to shift the 2 pieces of the Saito Crest
together. I think they need not meet at the middle bottom, but this is what I
usually do. The crests need to "move" on the 4 separate pieces to meet up. You
need to select the darkened spaces to indicate where the pieces will shift to
next.
- Solution: Shift the 4 pieces to the middle center level. (Shift them piece by
piece to the center middle level).
- Shift all 4 pieces to the left and swap place with the left crest. Now the
left crest is in the center middle position.
- Shift all 4 pieces down and right to occupy the bottom middle and bottom
right spaces. Shift the left crest down so that it touches bottom.
- Shift the middle 2 pieces to the top right (above the right crest).
- Now, 2 pieces should be at the top right of the crest while the other 2
pieces should be at the bottom right of the right crest.
- Shift the top right pieces down to center middle.
- Shift the bottom right pieces left to center middle.
- Shift the right crest to middle where both crests can finally be joined.
See if that helps. It\'ll take a few tries to get it right.
