Sup Shenmue players. This is my first FAQ so bear with me if I suck... My user name at www.gamefaqs.com is ryoji1. My e-mail address has now been changed (again) to RYOJI@sega.net. Listen, I'll keep this short and sweet. This FAQ is strictly MINE and ONLY mine. Don't try and duplicate my work and claim it as your own. If you do, you know the deal. I don't need to mention the consequences... Just get my permission first.

Also, changed my e-mail address. Send all e-mails to RYOJI1@aol.com (void as of 12/21/00, read beginning of FAQ for current address) 12/21/00 Again, change in e-mail address. I will know longer have aol service. I have moved on to seganet since i got tired of aol already. Anyway, my bad for the frequent moving around but i should settle down at seganet for awhile. 12/29/00 Okay, added info on how to obtain the mysterious scroll and the armor slap scroll in the dojo area. I've been getting frequent e-mails about this... Also, I still have my ryoji1@aol.com address for now but i'd prefer you people to send e-mails to ryoji@sega.net. Thanks. Anyway, let's get this started. This is written from my Japanese version of Shenmue but I have been informed that the format for the passport disc is exactly the same for the U.S. version. I will not list the cut scenes by title but instead by what the scene is about. Also, some names and places might be different from the U.S. version. I will change the names if I know what they were changed to in the U.S. version. However, if I'm not sure, I'll just make references to the characters or locations. Good enough? Alr ight then, let's get started... Cut scenes: 1 - 6: Default cut scenes 7: Ryo as a child training with Iwao 8: The 2 sailor thugs in heartbeats alley 9: Ryo rescues Harasaki and little boy from 2 guys dressed in black uniforms 10: Ryo and Charlie in tattoo parlor 11: Ryo talking to Harasaki outside of tattoo parlor 12: Harasaki and Ryo talking in Sakuragaoka park (part 1) 13: Ryo's first meeting with master Chen 14: Getting the katana guard at the antique shop 15: Chinese lady in purple dress from (Roshia) explaining the phoenix mirror 16: Chai attempts to steal the phoenix mirror at the warehouse 17: Fukuhara breaks open piggy bank for Ryo 18: Ryo buying ticket to Hong Kong at Asia Travel 19: Chai and Ryo at Game You 20: Ryo getting information from Jimmy inside Asia Travel 21: Goro and Mai find Ryo a job 22: Goro's information about Mad Angels 23: Mark tells Ryo a little story after being beat up 24: Goro and Mai announce that they will get married 25: Harasaki and Ryo talking in Sakuragaoka park (part 2) 26: Ryo borrows the bike from friend 27: Ryo rides bike through the harbor 28: Terry and Ryo make a deal 29: Ryo takes Harasaki home 30: Dream about the phoenix mirror 31: Ryo sitting in dojo thinking of his father 32: Tom offers lunch 33: Tom announces that he is leaving 34: Ryo bids farewell to Tom 35: Ryo challenges Kishou (Gui Zhang, master Chen's son) 36: Kishou (Gui Zhang) and Ryo talking at sunrise 37: Ryo leaving his house 38: Ryo leaving Dobuita 39: Harasaki's gift to Ryo 40: Ending Okay, that's the cut scenes. By the way, all cut scenes are automatically recorded except for numbers: 7, 9, 12,15 and 25. This is because they can be missed. All the rest are automatic because it's simply a mandatory cut scene in the game... Now for the music tracks on the passport disc. Actually, i will only list the tracks that can be missed (if you happen to not enter these areas) because the rest will be recorded automatically through game play just like the cut scenes. Also, the track order will be different if you missed any on yours. The track number I give you is the correct order. Why? I have them all unlocked, that's why! Easily missed music tracks: 1-9: Default 10: The music from the noodle restaurant across from Suzume park 11: The music from (Rapis) the fortune teller 12: Bob's Pizza 13: Abu candy store 14: Slot House 15: Tomato Mart 18: Rest stop at the harbor (Tomato Mart 2) 30 - 32: X-mas music (all 3 will be obtained after a certain date near X-mas) That's about it for unlocking empty slots on the passport. Now for a more detailed explanation of how to get the cut scenes and the rest of the Shenmue secrets. Scene 7: Disc 1, at the beginning of the game, when you first leave Ryo's house, walk over to the big tree beside the dojo. Scene 9: Disc 1, after heartbeats event, go home and sleep. The next day, make sure the weather is sunny outside. Head over to Sakuragaoka park around 12pm noon to unlock this scene. Also, make sure you see this scene first before looking for Charlie. Scene 12: Harasaki scene part 1 is at the end of disc 1. Right before you get on the bus to disc 2 (after you called warehouse 8 on the phone), stick around Dobuita until 7pm and then go home. Once in the house, look at the phone and it will ring. Answer the phone by pressing "A" and the scene will start. Scene 15: After obtaining the phoenix mirror in disc 2, instead of going back to Master Chen right away, stop at "Roshia" (i don't know what it's called in the u.s. version). The place where the old lady in purple read you the chinese letter. You'll get that scene. You can also stop at the antique shop for more info on the phoenix mirror as well but this scene doesn't get recorded. It's just extra. Scene 25: Harasaki scene part 2. On disc 3, make sure the game date is december 26th or later. Then, after 7pm, go in front of game you and there will be an automatic cut scene with Harasaki's friend, Tajima. She'll tell you to go to Sakuragaoka park because Harasaki is crying there. Go there quick. Bad ending: To get the bad ending easily, on disc 2 where u have to sneak in past the guards to get to old warehouse 8, keep getting caught over and over until the game date is april 15th. You'll be sent home automatically and after you sleep, the bad ending will start. Moves learned from people: 1. Fuku-san on 2nd day of disc 1. Go to dojo in the morning. 2. Yamagishi-san on disc 1. Go to Suzume park between 3 - 5pm AFTER talking to one of the "3 blades" and have bought all 6 moves at the antique shop. 3. Gui Zhang on disc 3 at the harbor. (part of story) 4. Homeless man on disc 3. Go to rest stop area at harbor after 1st "full" (not half) day of work. 5. Homeless man again. Same place after 2nd full day of work. 6. Homeless man yet again. Same place after 4th full day of work. 7. Tom on disc 3. (part of story) 8. Master Chen at the end of game. (part of story) QTE's and a free battle that can be missed through gameplay: 1. The scene where you QTE against 2 girls in the back of the harbor at beginning of disc 2 (surprisingly enough, many people miss this QTE). After going to new warehouse 8, go to old warehouse entrance area. Can't go in so go talk to Tom. Then go to the lady selling lunch boxes at the stand. Follow her instructions. 2. During disc 2, at night. Go by the yokosuka bar or the karaoke place and the QTE scene will start. It's with a drunk sailor guy holding a bottle. Kinda funny. 3. This is a hidden free battle. After unlocking scene 9 in disc 1, head over to the apartments at the very back of dobuita passed the big staircase after 7pm to have a free battle fight with 4 guys in the black school uniforms. This scene happened for me after the part with Charlie in the tattoo shop and talking to Nozomi outside of the tattoo parlor. Mysterious scroll and "armor slap" moves translated: To obtain the mysterious scroll, go up to the big picture frame that has japanese writing on it and press R trigger to lock onto it. Ryo will say that he can't reach it. So go to the stool directly to the right of the frame and press A. Ryo will use the stool to get the frame and move it. You get the mysterious scroll. The armor slap move scroll is located in the dojo basement. when you enter the room with all the junk, go to the right and you'll see a folded up move scroll sitting on top of some old books. that's the armor slap. To get the mysterious scroll and the armor slap move translated, on disc 3, call master chen's warehouse number (61-5647) and then head over to old 8th warehouse. You have to repeat this process twice because Gui Zhang will translate the armor slap first and the second time you go, he'll translate the mysterious scroll. Well, there u have it. That's all for now people. E-mail me if u have any more questions regarding Shenmue. Credits: Shenmue is a product of Sega so props go to them for making this hot game.
