Puzzles marked with a + have "happy" endings: they can be solved in the
usual sense. Those marked with a - can't be solved in the sense that
there is a happy ending, or a way to reach the stated goal. Those marked
with a . have a partial solution (you can get part of the goal)
Blackthorne
(Goal is to survive, to regain his ship, to return to England. Later,
to learn Japanese, prove he's not a barbarian, and to keep Mariko.)
+ Reef/Arrival: pilot Erasmus through reef, avoid being washed
overboard
. The Pit: prevent Yabu from killing anyone, become civilized
+ Rescuing Rodrigues: tying kimonos, getting Yabu's attention
+ Suicide Attempt: must go through with it
+ Surviving in Prison: beat up baddies, become friends with
Fr. Domingo, don't reveal that you're English
+ Learning Japanese: this goes on throughout the game, but there
is a long sequence soon after you first meet Mariko
. The Pheasant: you could probably throw it away?
+ Teaching Toranaga to dive/not beating him in race
+ Toranaga's Escape from Osaka Castle
Diversion: must notice that old woman is really Toranaga
Battle at/in harbor: must thread way through maze of streets,
get to ship, get by Rodrigues in harbor
+ Rescuing Toranaga from Earthquake
- Saving Mariko from her suicide: prevent Mariko from committing
suicide (can't "win" because it is only Oshido who can do this)
- Saving Mariko during battle at Osaka Castle: if you save Mariko
the point of the suicide/battle is lost, also, she "wants" to
die. You can, however, prevent her from being kidnapped by the
ninja.

Taiko and Ishido (by helping Toranaga). Later, to keep her affair with

Betrayal of Toranaga
Attack on Osaka Castle

Ferriera
(Goal is to destroy Blackthorne, failing that, his ship. Long-term,
