Through Wawku Shrine

NORTH TO KAMUI
Go to Shinshu Field and climb the wall using Catwalk. Electrify the rod sticking out of the building on the high hill. Enter and travel to Kamui, the northern snowy land.
Electrify Yoichi's arrow and bloom the Guardian Sapling. To beat the igloo enemy, attack it until it's stunned, start its body on fire and bash away. Once in town, talk to Samickle.
Don't head straight to Yoshpet; you can't get in until you visit Tuskle back behind Laochi Lake. At this point in the game every character you meet seems to be long-winded.
Once again, make each of three heads drink twice while their mouths are wide open, bash the bell, get each head drunk and finish each one off with attacks, slashes and/or fire.
To beat the cannons, slow down time, and slash the cannonballs back at the cannons. To solve the scale puzzle, carry two trees onto the platform, bloom them, and melt the ice.
To stop the blizzard, unfreeze the machine's handle, and slash the handle first when the left eye is at the top, then when the middle eye is on the right, and finally when the last eye's on the left.
Make sure all four cannon's fuses are blackened before you continue! Then defeat the gold cannon by slowing time and slashing back its cannonballs. This is the most difficult part of the game.
Stand back a little to try to keep both owls on screen. Once one of them is stunned, pull back on Oki, then hit the owl with fire or ice or lightning, then attack.
