As the lengthy introduction comes to a close, step into the tree to reach the River of the Heavens area. You can save your game at the Origin Mirror before moving north through the area. Follow Issun's instructions to break some pots and wall jump up a ledge before you reach what appears to be a dead-end to the north as the path runs into a body of water.
Look to the northeast for a hill you can climb. At the top of the hill, Issun will instruct you to draw the misssing star in the constellation. To do so, simply dot the left end of the line and you'll learn the Rejuvenation brush technique.
Move back down to the base of the hill and use your new brush technique to "fix" the stream, filling in a thick path between the island to the north and the bank you're on. You'll create a starry flow that lets you swim to the distant island to continue your trek. Be sure to also get the Astral Pouch from the chest before moving through the next doorway.
Continue north along the path in the next area until you reach the Cave of Nagi. Stand in front of the large statue and use the Rejuvination brush technique draw a line where Nagi's blade should be. You'll soon be staring at another incomplete constellation. Fill in the missing dot to the left and the constellation will come to life, giving you the Power Slash brush technique. Follow Issun's advice to test out the technique on a nearby rock, then use the Power Slash to cut down the wooden poles that block your exit to the south.
Go south from the cave, back down the path you came from. You'll soon be attacked by a pair of enemy imps. The attack button should be enough to take 'em out, though you can speed up the process by using your Power Slash technique. When they're defeated, continue heading south. There's another identical fight just ahead.
You'll eventually leave the River of the Heavens area and appear just in front of the giant Sakuya tree. Use the Power Slash brush technique to chop down the fruit from the tree and restore life to the village.
Make your way down the mountain to Kamiki Village. Examine a few of the "statues" in the village and Issun will ask you to find some higher ground from which you can assess the situation. Follow the arrow back up the mountain until a conversation with Issun takes over. Simply draw a circle in the sky to summon the sunlight and revive the residents of Kamiki.
Another battle with some imps breaks out. Defeat them as before and you'll restore some life to a nearby pond, netting Amaterasu some Praise. Praise can be used to upgrade your wolf's abilities as you collect more, so be sure to look out for more Praise opportunities (for example, you can open the nearby chest for a Seed Feedbag to give to the birds for some Praise).
Return to the village at the base of the mountain and you'll see that life has been restored to the residents. You can talk with the residents to pick up sidequests and random information. When you're ready, go to the far south end of the village, across the river, to find a merchant trying to move a large stone. A fight with a new type of imp will take place, teaching you to use the Power Slash when the enemy throws up his defense.
The merchant asks you to find Susano in order to move the stone. Follow the on-screen arrow to Susano's hut. Once inside, break away the bowl covering the hole in the ground to drop down and find Susano...asleep. Headbutt Susano to wake him up, and after a conversation you'll have the warrior strapped to your back. Leave the hutt and return to the merchant to initiate another cutscene.
After the conversation with the merchant, follow Susano back to his training ground behind his hut. He'll request more sake, which you need to get. Look for Kushi the sake brewer near her house across the river. Talk to her and she'll explain that her mill is broken. Use the Rejuvenation brush technique to fill in the missing part of the mill. Follow Kushi inside the building and talk to her to earn some sake which you can bring to the parched Susano.
As you approach Susano, a story scene takes over. In the middle of the scene, you'll have to quickly use the Power Slash brush technique to take out the dummies that Susano attacks. This will give Susano the courage to attack the large boulder blocking the path of the merchant. Again, use your Power Slash just after Susano attempts to take out the large boulder, clearing the valley pass.
With the giant boulder sliced to pieces, you can now make your way to Shinshu Field to continue the quest. Or if you'd like, there are plenty of sidequests to complete in Kamiki Village.
Shinshu Field
You'll soon find that Shinshu Field is almost completely enveloped in a cursed zone, rendering much of the area unreachable. As you can guess, it's your job to clear this cursed zone away. You can engage some of the enemy scrolls in battle to build up some cash, or simply make your way to the northwest corner of Shinshu Field.
Just beyond a cabin that's fortunately been spared by the cursed zone is an entrance to Hana Valley. When you're ready to continue the main quest, continue to Hana Valley and clear the cursed zone.
As you move north through Hana Valley, expect to take on a pack of imps gathered 'round a fire early on the path. Remember to use your Power Slash to break through enemy defenses so that you can clear away the baddies. Unfortunately, success in this battle doesn't translate to restored life--you'll have to do more to restore the greenery of Hana Valley and Shinshu Field.
Just a bit further up, you'll come across possessed trees that lob fruit as an attack. You can simply run by these trees at full gallop, or stop and use the Power Slash brush technique to knock the fruit back at the trees, temporarily stunning them.
Eventually you'll find yourself challenged by a taiko drumming yellow imp. Fight off him and his cronies to clear the area and initiate a brief scene with Susano. After Susano goes back to trying to move a giant boulder, look for a ledge to your right that faces a large wall painting. Brush on a sun in the empty space of the painting to destroy the rock Susano is pushing.
Keep moving through the valley until you reach a room with a small sapling. To the left is a wooden barrier you can cut away using the Power Slash. Continue down the hall to the left and you'll find Susano staring down a sleepy bear. As Susano prepares his special attack, swipe the torches with your Power Slash to take 'em out, then be ready to swipe the sleepy bear once to satisfy Susano's rage.
With the foul beast slain (or at least sleeping on the ground), you can move the sphere under its feet out to the area with the small sapling. Push the sphere up the ramp in front of the sapling and into the small puddle of water. Move to the back wall and the camera should swing upwards to show you the sky. Paint a sun to bring life to the sapling.
You'll be challenged to complete another constellation, this one requiring two dots before summoning another god. The god teaches you the Bloom brush technique which you immediately put to use. Paint a circle on the withered Sakuya sapling to bring it to life, restoring color and goodness to Hana Valley.
Make your way back towards Shinshu field, and expect trouble along the way. Another yellow imp attacks with a few buddies before you can make it back to the main area of the valley. With the power of Bloom, you can now defeat the attacking trees in the valley. Simply stun them by knocking back one of their fruits, then use Bloom to paint a circle and bring the trees back to goodness. You can also use Bloom to bring back to life the many black, dead trees of the valley and earn extra praise before returning to Shinshu Field.
Shinshu Field
Once back at Shinshu Field, locate the withered Guardian Sapling and use tbe Bloom brush technique to bring it back to life. After you've returned life to Shinshu Field, you're free to explore it as you wish. You can fight off monsters, clear devil gates, or simply run to the markers on your map to progress the story.
Check out the eastern part of the map for a long wooden bridge that leads down to a lone hut on the beach. As you move towards the hut, a new enemy, the dead fish, will attack. Use the Power Slash to knock its spinning fins back into the enemy to knock it out of the sky.
The hut just ahead is Super Pyrotechnist Tama's house, and you won't be able to get inside until after dark. Wait for night to fall, then step inside to speak with Tama. You'll have to pester him a bit before he starts talking about his explosive formula, pointing you to a wall with the symbol of a bomb. As Tama prepares the formula, draw the bomb symbol over his pot to create a bomb and learn a new brush technique.
Again you'll have to complete a constellation, and again this one's got two missing stars to fill in. Complete the constellation and you'll fully learn the Cherry Bomb brush technique which can be used to blast away cracked walls, as well as be used in combat. Issun will urge you to try the technique on a nearby wall, giving you access to a zodiac treasure.
Next, make your way to the southeast corner of the map. At the bottom of a tall hill is the Moon Shrine, and inside the priest Mika will give you a list of notorious monsters that need killing. As you leave Mika's Moon Shrine, night will immediately fall and the first of these monsters appears. Defeat Biwamaru the Vandal as you would defeat any normal imp, then use the brush to cross his name off the list. There are more monsters to find, and remember that they only come out at night.
Since you're nearby, it's a good time to check out the peninsula directly southeast of the Moon Shrine. There's not much to see at the moment, but you'll need to at least investigate the Moon Cave area to progress the story. After you've visited the Moon Cave, return to Shinshu Field.
Go straight northwest until you reach the top of the hill that overlooks Shinshu Field and the Guardian Sapling. From here, turn south towards the last remaining mark on your map. Read the sign near the dock that leads to Agata Forest. You won't be able to go further here, but after reading the sign Issun will direct you back to Kamiki Village.
Once back in Kamiki Village, look for the fifteen blackened trees in the village. Bring to life all fifteen trees (most of them are found in the main village area) before making your way to the top of the hill to find Mr. Orange celebrating the return of life to the sacred Konohana tree. As he performs the Konohana Shuffle, use the Bloom brush technique to revive the pods that the camera highlights. Get them all in one go and you'll be taught the Water Lily brush technique.
Issun will lead you back down to the village to test out the new brush technique. With the Water Lily skill put to memory, it's time to return to Shinshu Field for a brief visit. Go to the river that leads to Agata Forest and use the Water Lily brush technique to make your way across the water. Use a Cherry Bomb to destroy the wall at the far end, letting you into the cursed Agata Forest.
Agata Forest
After taking in the bleek state of Agata Forest, run down the hill and look for a very slim path that runs along the water below, following the northern shore. Follow this path along the beach and behind a waterfall where you'll find a hidden tunnel that leads to a Guardian Sapling.
Use Bloom to revive the Guardian Sapling, restoring life to the forest and dispelling the cursed zone. When you've got control of Amaterasu again, headbutt the chest in front of the enlivened Guardian Sapling to find the Devout Beads, a divine instrument that gives you new attack powers.
As you leave the Guardian Sapling's cave, you'll be introduced to Waka, boy wonder. Even though Waka's mostly a good guy, you'll have to face off against him in what will be the toughest battle you've yet fought.
The easiest way to fight with Waka is to use your new Devout Beads as a projectile weapon (and stay out of the water). Keep your distance from Waka and fire away. When Waka pulls back to fire a projectile attack of his own, jump over it and nail Waka with a mid-air combo.
