Walkthrough
The Dreamcast game Shenmue is the first chapter in Yu Suzuki's 16-chapter epic (of which only chapters 1, 3, 4 and 5 have been released - so far). This walkthrough will take you through the game in as complete a way as possible, although for the full experience it would be best to approach the game without help the first time through.
Before you begin, you should make sure you understand the control system, and it may also be beneficial if you familiarize yourself with the maps provided with this walkthrough.
The Dragon Mirror
Ryo Hazuki is returning home, but something doesn't feel quite right. The dojo sign outside the front gate is smashed, and there's a strange black car parked beside it. Cautiously walking through, Ryo spots his housekeeper Ine-san, apparently injured. She insists that she's fine, but Ryo's father may be in danger. Stopping to catch his breath, Ryo is shocked by his father's pupil, Fukuhara-san, being thrown violently out of the dojo and landing at Ryo's feet. Inside the dojo, Ryo is restrained by two men in black suits, while a mysterious man in a flowing Chinese robe, Lan Di, demands to know where Ryo's father Iwao has hidden a "mirror". Momentarily breaking free, Ryo attempts to assist in his father's fight against Lan Di, but he is easily knocked aside. Despite refusing to divulge the mirror's location, Iwao is forced to reveal that he has buried it when Lan Di threatens to kill Ryo. When the black suits return with the ancient stone artifact, Lan Di delivers the killing blow to Iwao, and leaves Ryo to hold his dying father.
