Demon Fangs Guide:
------------------
Written by Kyukyu
This guide will cover everything related to Demon Fangs in Okami.
-=What are Demon Fangs?
Demon Fangs are special objects that can be forced out of demons. Obtaining
Demon Fangs requires Floral Finishers, which needs a special Celestial Brush
technique or attack depending on the demon fought.
Some demons drop more than one Demon Fang when defeated correctly.
Their only apparent use is trading them to certain characters for very useful
items.
-=Executing Floral Finishers
A Floral Finisher is a special attack used immediately after killing a demon,
when its body turns grey and falls through the air as time warps and slows. If
a specific Celestial Brush technique is used as a finishing attack on the demon
in mid-air, it drops Demon Fangs before the body disintegrates into a large
patch of flowers on the ground.
Floral Finishers do not work if Amaterasu has already struck the enemy with
something else during its dying state (a different brushstroke, a Divine
Instrument, or the Thief's Glove), or if she has just killed the enemy in certain
ways. Cherry Bomb disintegrates the enemy's body upon death, eliminating the
chance to use a Floral Finisher. If an enemy's Floral Finisher is normally Power
Slash, actually killing it with Power Slash will prevent the finisher from
working properly. Instead, you should deliver the final blow with a different
attack and slash the body in mid-air afterwards.
Most bosses and sub-bosses do not have Floral Finishers, except for the individual
Tube Foxes.
-=Other ways to obtain Demon Fangs=
Applying the right Finisher to each enemy is an excellent way to farm Demon Fangs,
but there are three additional ways to obtain more of them alongside Floral
Finishers themselves.
The first method gets unlocked very early into the game and consists of using your
reflector as a secondary weapon allowing you to use the Sub-Reflector Counterattack.
When Amaterasu successfully blocks a direct physical attack with proper timing, she
will launch into the air along with the victim and spiral back down to the earth
before forcefully slamming it down into the ground. If a green bagua appears on the
screen after blocking a physical attack, that is a sign that a Demon Fang has been
released.
The second method is a more expensive one, but I highly recommend to unlock it at
least later in the game as it will be required to get the 'Teach an Old Dog New
Tricks' achievement. For this one you will need to pay Onigiri-Sensei to learn the
Golden Fury and later on the Brown Rage technique. They actually are both really
great ways to obtain additional Demon Fangs during your battles. I won't explain
what those techniques do on the other hand, as the names and descriptions themselves
should make it fairly obvious. But if you still don't understand what they do then
don't spoil yourself, it'll make for a nice surprise when you purchase them.
Be aware though that both these methods only work once per demon per battle, so
don't waste your time doing it over and over again thinking you can cheat the system.
And the final method - which funnily enough is for me personally, the hardest one
to obtain Demon Fangs with - is to play the mini-games during loading screens.
There are two variations of the loading screen, each depending on how the screen
is shown.
On screens with paw prints appearing along the bottom of the screen with Issun's
silhouette at the end, tap the jump button in time with the paws that appear
(making them larger). Successfully timing a press with each paw print leads to
Issun's image appearing as a Demon Fang instead.
On blank load screens, mash the jump button rapidly to fill the screen with 50
paw prints to earn a Demon Fang.
You have to enable the mini-games through the options menu first before being
able to play them.

Now that you know everything on how to get Demon Fangs, you're going to want to
know what you can get with them. There are three Fang Traders throughout the game,
but I will only talk of the first two as the last one is only accessible at the
very end of the game, which is a point of no return and does not give you access
to any new item whatsoever.
Every one-time purchase item through Fang Traders are holy artifacts, you can only
equip three of them at the same time.
The first one you will encounter in your journey is The Great Fang Trader Kiba,
located in Agata Forest near the broken bridge to Taka Pass.
