Loading Endgame Save
After you beat the final boss and get past the final cut-scene and credits, you are given the option to make an endgame save. If you load this savegame, you start a new game, but you get to have all the sword scrolls, equipment and inventory items that you had from your previous game.
Unlock Pure San'yuan Bugei
To Unlock the Pure San'yuan bugei you must beat the game and save your game after the credits. Once you continue that file you will start over with all of the items you had in your previous game and have the Pure San'yuan kenpu in the Bugei Scrolls section.

Easy Chi Training
Charge up your Chi gauge to the maximum level. When you enter a battle, kill all the enemies except for one using sword attacks, then weaken the last one. Next, use the Chi attack to kill the weakened enemy. After you start the Chi attack, hold Square. Once the enemy is dead, you will begin to charge your Chi gauge, but will still be in Attack mode, even though there are no enemies. When the gauge is charged, tap Square(2), then hold it down again (requires precise timing). If done correctly, you will execute the Chi attack and begin charging up again. You will gain Chi experience for each Chi attack. Repeat this as many times as desired. Note: If the timing of the Square double tap is incorrect, you will exit Battle mode and be unable to attack with your Chi.
Infinite Lives
Find a box that has a Soul Talisman in it, like in Hakuzen in Western Byakko Temple. Go west when you are near the temple gate and you should find some exploding barrels. Break them and there should be a Soul Tally. Next go in the temple then out and back to the barrels. The Soul Tally should have respawned.
