When you are outside of the Hazuki residence, turn left and follow the path around the outside to find the dojo.Įnter the dojo, and after the cutscene with Fuku-san, you'll be tasked with asking around for information. When you are done, leave the house to arrive in the yard. You can also find a 'Mysterious Key' in the drawer here - this is needed much later in the game, but there's no harm picking it up now.įinally, before you leave, use the house phone near the front door and call the police on 110 to earn a missable Trophies and Achievement. In Iwao's room (at the furthest end of the house) there's an optional cutscene by investigating the letter on the desk. In the prayer room (on the north-side of the house) you can find a Box of Matches and Candles next to the altar and right drawer respectively.Īt the back of the prayer room, open the sliding door and look inside the basket on the left for the 'Twin Blades' move scroll.

Press it again to pick it up, giving you the 'Shenmue' tape. Press the X button on PlayStation, or A on Xbox or Dreamcast, to investigate the object. You'll want to focus first on the desk, and move the stick until you lock onto a cassette tape. Pressing the left trigger will allow you to zoom in and look at something (as our Shenmue tips suggests, it's worth swapping the controllers over so zoom is on the right - but that might be personal preference). Everything in this room can be looked at closer, and there's several optional things to find. Now's a good time to get accustomed to investigating items up close. Flick through the notebook to get up to speed, then press back (Circle on PlayStation, B on Xbox or Dreamcast) to position the camera behind him.
