Any of the three Dark Realms can be easily bypassed. This requires some skill, Ako's Purple Vest, all weapons for the character, and all weapons been completely enhanced. Whether or not the gauntlet is completely enhanced is irrelevant. Before entering the Dark Realm, equip either Chigo (for Samanosuke) or Hyosai (for Jacques). The enemies that attack will appear in multiple waves. Just wait for all enemies to appear, then execute one magic attack. Absorb all the souls that appear. Ako's Purple Vest should allow you to do this as many times as necessary. However, if you are fighting large demons, you may need to get up close with either the Tenso (for Samanosuke) or the Enja (for Jacques). Note: A crucial part of this strategy is absorbing the souls. If you feel that you need Ako's Blue Vest as well, make sure to switch back and forth as appropriate. Also, it is much easier to go straight for the bottom part of the Dark Realm that you are in, as the tougher enemies are down there first. By doing this, you can use your magic efficiently on the tougher enemies and not have to worry about the weaker ones.
Note: This was done under the normal difficulty setting. First, stock up on magic for all your weapons. Then, stock up on all the Purple Souls. At the beginning, jump behind him after he attacks. Then, just waste the magic on him. Use every weapons magic until you do not have any more. After that, use regular attacks. Watch out for the ice attack. Most of the time the thunder magic from him is off target. After a few regular attacks, transform into the Onimusha and attack him hard. However, do not use the mega attack yet. After a few attacks, just before your magic runs out use the mega magic attack on him. If he is not defeated, then just attack him a few more times.
When you are fighting Nobunaga when he is in his demon form, press Square(2), Triangle. This is a great combo move, but do not overdo it with him. When you absorb the darkness from his sword and you get it, remember that some of his moves cannot be blocked (such as the charge and the fireball moves). You can only block one or two. For the charge move, press Triangle at the last moment when he is on fire and you should dodge it. For the fireball move, just have enough space to run around.
When playing as Michelle, go further behind near the skull door and throw some grenades on them.
Repeatedly tap Guard until someone hits you. And as soon as you see the flash, tap Square. Keep tapping Square to go from enemy to enemy, racking up multiple critical hits.
