Straw Hat Samurai is a fun game of drawing lines with the mouse to slash through your enemies and defeat the evil lord. In this game you are a samurai who will use both the Katana and the bow to kill enemies, take out towers, and accomplish your mission. The main game depends on how fast you are with the mouse at drawing but there are some general tips that you should know about this game. In particular, how to avoid damage in the later levels. The trick is to keep your lines as precise as possible. I would also try to see as many enemies as possible before you make a strike. |
Except when dodging arrows, I would try to stay as close to the middle of the screen as possible. Wait for the meelee enemies to come towards you so you can see how many there are and how far they are apart from each other. When you do slash to one side of the screen, make sure to quickly slash back to the center. Remember that you move by drawing slashes. When there are archers, look to see where the arrows are coming from and take that side out first. When all the archers are dead, then use the stay-in-the-middle strategy to take out melee enemies. Don’t forget you can jump in the air and slash downwards.
In order to take down towers, you must use the arrow to kill to people in towers. You can’t just run and slash up there. Use the arrow by holding shift and using the mouse to aim. Just aim in the general direction, you do not have to be very accurate to pluck off the defenders. On the tower levels, its more about multi-tasking your slashing with your shooting than anything else. This game depends a lot on being able to see where your enemies are and quick mouse movement. Have your reflexes ready!
The last thing is the power-ups you can get from the treasure chests. You have the choice of +10 HP or +10% chance to dodge. I suggest stacking everything on one of these skills instead of trying to balance both. The HP increase is probably the safe route but the dodge might be more powerful in the long run if you can stack enough of them together.
Happy Fighting!

There seems to be some problem hacking at the balls from the catapult. Howabout a clue there?
October 14th, 2008 at 4:41 am
Try hacking slightly below them. There’s a delay.

How do you take out the last boss?
October 15th, 2008 at 8:41 am
yeah, how the hell do you kill the last asshole??
October 15th, 2008 at 9:34 am
Yes, I’m looking for advice on the last boss as well. I can’t figure out how to defeat him.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Ok, I just defeated the boss. I did it by trying to slash him or shooting an arrow at him when he is walking toward me. At that point he will jump and throw spears at you, simply try to guess where he will be, and slash him in the air. You only have to hit him about 3 or 4 times and he will die. You know you have hit him when you hear a different kind of sound. Like a fist punching through a board.
Once I figured it out, it almost seems too easy.

October 16th, 2008 at 6:53 pm

October 17th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
you dodge arrows by attacking some area far from the arrow range
October 19th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
you can slash arrows out of the air too, but I wouldn’t recommend it

What is the password for the strategy level? i made it there at school, but forgot the password at home..
November 21st, 2008 at 9:48 am
You can’t jump.
To beat the catapult, attack the rocks when theyre in the air.

December 23rd, 2008 at 8:35 pm
You know, I’d feel a lot better about taking over 40 minutes trying to beat this if there was something more than “Mission Accomplished, To Be Continued” at the end… T-T

theres a password on the bottom of the main menu and hot to deafeat the boss 1.try to hit him 2.slash him in the air .3 hit him 3 times. CATAPULT u hit the catapult balls back in the air and than it hits the guy manning the catapult. DODGE is automatic u get a 10% from chests to dodge. Same goes for health btw kill the guys behind a wooden wall first to get to the catapult if u have any Question i will check back every day

i think that when he jumps in the air, he tends to jump to behind you, so he can throw spears at your back. so, if you use a curved line, starting at the ground in front of you, and ending in a slight curve a couple inches above his head, he will jump up because he does that, and then take the second half of the curve as damage

Here are some suggestions and ideas:
- You can jump up in the air, over a group and attack them from behind by clicking (as though attacking) but moving up in the air and over behind them. You will jump up (sometimes you see this, sometimes not) and appear on the other side of them. This helps particularly with killing the shield samurai. Jump behind them, and slash before they can move!
- Try just killing with decapitations instead of body blows. Slice across at the height of the mouth or nose, and you will cut off their head. This is worth double the points of a body cutting kill!
- Try moving your cursor above someone, hold down the button, and slash down on them. This kills the shield samurai pretty effectively, and really messes up the regular samurai.
- Try slashing low at the legs of the archers and shield guys. This is very effective on the archers, and fairly effective if the shield guys are walking.
- Try shooting your bow out from the ‘ends’ of the landscape. You can kill guys that haven’t even appeared on the screen yet!
- Try slashing into the ‘ends’ of the the landscape. You can kill guys that are about to appear on the screen. This buys you the time to turn around, and wipe out a group coming at you, without worrying about anyone sneaking up behind you.
- When the catapult sends a boulder at you, swing UNDER it to bounce it back and destroy the catapult.
- Trouble using your bow? Don’t rush it – the more guys on the screen, the slower you move. Hold JUST the shift button, until the bow is out, an arrow is in place, and you look ready to shoot. THEN aim, and hold the mouse button to draw the bow. Finally, release the button to release your arrow.
- Try shooting at samurais’ heads – it is worth twice the points of a body shot, and more fun to watch!
- When you reach the end, and get in the strategy mode, you can capture spaces by moving your army numbers. But you can ALSO capture an empty space by simply moving your samurai to an uncaptured (blank) space, and then clicking “End Of Turn”. You will automatically be award that space, since your samurai is standing in it.
- You can capture a space by moving your samurai onto one of the enemy’s spaces. When you click “End Of Turn”, a battle will start up, just like you had in the first half of the game. BUT the scenery is different – usually at night! That adds something new to the “boring” strategy segment of the game.
- You cannot capture the boss’s tent without fighting him, so don’t waste your time sending army numbers in there. You MUST fight him to win.
- When you fight him, try the “click-and-slash-up” to cut him from behind, or to jump over him and then cut him from behind. If you hear a ‘punch’ sound, you cut him. 3 cuts, and he is dead.
I got over 122,000 points, just by focusing more on head cuts, and head shots – the points really add up fast! So enjoy!!

March 19th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
to beat the catapolt you hit the ball in mid air and to beat boss you must attack then attack in the air
in other words when boss jumps attack

how do you fire arrows
May 30th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
to kill the shield guys you have to attack their feet
August 15th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
So, apparently shooting arrows has nothing to do with where you’re standing or what angle you’re shooting at or pretty much anything that you might be able to figure out to manipulate into actually killing someone in a tower. I’ve played the tower scene at least seven times and have finally manage to kill two of the three tower guards. I’ve tried standing close, standing far away, aiming low, aiming high, and there is really no method to the madness. Sometimes the arrows fall into the ground directly in front of me and, rarely, they fly off wildly completely going over the tower without hitting anyone. Really, I have no idea how I managed to kill those first two guys as it was really just luck and can never be successfully repeated in the same fashion.
September 12th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
i fought the tower twice and the first time i uit it out so tht i could go bck to see wht i miss and it turned out it just didnt tell me how to use the bow. but i figured iot out on my own, you hold down shift, to bring the bow into your hands then you hit controll to load or euipe yourself with an arrow. the longer you hold down the left mouse bottun before shotting the better and dont forget to aim and then fire . when they re in the tower you should wit to fire intill they just barely peek up over the edge.
the sheild guys i would attck in v shape
(9 pretend tht is the shield person
> and this is your attack
(9> this is how i took them out
i still havent betten the boss i relly dislike trying to deaft him and cant figur out how to
December 15th, 2009 at 10:07 am
the game wes pretty easy…to kill the guys in the tower shoot them with arrows,to defeat the catapelt slash the rock in the mid-air and finally to defeat the boss attack him and when he jumps slash him in the air..only the slaces in the air can kill him..all the other slaces are avoided by him…in the strategy part i conquered 82/82 regions…lol

We need a password, quickly! Anybody help!
January 26th, 2010 at 4:34 am
This game is a piece of dog shit. There is no beating the final boss without some kind of secret cheat code. End of story.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
i found that the easiest way to kill the last boss is to slash up wards while he is in the air throwing spears at you
March 8th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
It only takes 5 good shots to kill the boss. Hit him when he flies up in the air.
March 29th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
to pass the catapult when u see a big huge rockball flying top of your hed slash it in the air and it will go back and kill the person throwing them.then u just have to kill the remaining guards.

if you die the first time facing the boss you appear on top of his tent but can’t go in until you end your turn in strategy mode
