the vanishing ghosts with the health maybe a glitch. Cause I don't remember any vanishing ones with me having a health bar.

and as for the Blind Woman,if you hit her with a non fatal frame shot she will know where you are at and attack you. You have to wait til she says "there's no one here...." and it should give you a fatal shot there. Then she normally appears behind you so just use the quick turn to find her again. And listen out for the specific line she says for a Fatal Frame. I am not too sure if your good with the health items and what not. Cause Fatal Frame 1 is the most challenging one of the series. Just be careful around the hostile ghosts lol. And the spirit mirror? You mean stone mirror? that revives you once your health reaches zero. Or are you referring to those stones you get that are red? those are used for your special lenses. Keep those until Night 3 and buy (if you have enough points) slow. It will help tremendously with a certain ghost.

Spirit water? You must be talking about sacred water. It's a healing item just like a herbal medicine but restore most of you life bar if not all.

 

3rd night won't be that hard if you have enough healing items but be aware of Himuro Family Master. The guy is fatal especially with his sweet 3 combo slash katana. And there's ALMOST no healing items in 3rd night.

If you're running low on health but have plenty Stone Mirrors lying around, then definitely just let them kill you.  I wouldn't touch any of the special functions except "Paralyse" which stops them so you can charge longer and get closer, both doing more damage in the long run.  As for the 3rd Night, I'm sure most Herbal Medicines restock around the place so you can do a general supply run, but make sure you check the mask room and the Narukami Shrine for stronger film.

I'm not sure about restock of healing items in 3rd Night but I always have about 6-8 herbal medicines at the start of 3rd Night, so I never look for herbal medicines too hard. I remember there's one in Burial Room and another one in Observatory of a Tatami Room. Be careful though, most likely Wandering Monk will show up to check on your progress if you roam the mansion aimlessly. Sometimes Bound Man will hang out with Floating Woman in Fireplace, a Longhair Woman will greet you in Fish Tank Room and most likely Three People Killed or Broken Neck will attack you near Narukami Shrine at Forest Path.

Himuro Family Master is a guy in Hannya Mask (it's called Reflection Mask in game actually) with katana. During first fight with him in Buddha Room sometimes he will try to perfom 3 swing attack. He makes a big step and starts to swing his sword like crazy and final swing will hit you eventually since Miku can't run too fast.

I prefer not to use special functions of Camera Obscura, so no sense for me to spend some points to power up them, I only power up basic functions.

 

Oh, and there's no Blinded Demon in 3rd Night.

Bound Man is the first and only ghost you ever encountered in this game while you were playing as Mafuyu in intro chapter or intro night. Of course he is a laugh of the ghost in intro night, 1st night and 2nd night but he is more powerful in 3rd night, obviously. Wandering Monk is a... cheater. He really likes to confuse you by teleporting and hiding in walls. You can ran away from him, but later on he may show up in Fish Tank Room with Longhair Beauty and you forced to defeat her in order to proceed to next Headless Priest. It happened to me last time i played. I reloaded the game and first of all I defeated Wandering Monk somewhere in a corridor near the Library and only then I defeated Longhair Woman in Fish Tank Room. Easy. Three People Killed are miserable three ghosties but they are film consuming. They will appear in the beginning of the 3rd night and later on they will show up as random ghosts.

So basically during the 3rd night you have to defeated Himuro FM in Buddha Room, 4 Headless Priests (one in the Cherry Atrium, one in the Abyss, one in some kind of garden and last one in small graveyard somewhere near Narukami Shrine), Longhair Woman in Fish Tank Room and Himuro FM again in the Grand Hall. Of course you can't do this with only 2 healing items, you should at least fish for 2 herbal medicines (Burial Room and Observatory overlooking the Cherry Atrium) and one sacred water in Blinding Room and I don't remember locations of the rest healing items.

Glitch with teleporting ghosts? That could be bad because Himuro FM likes to teleport around you. And first fight with him is haaard. I don't remember how I exactly defeated him but i remember running from one corner to another trying to find him.

 

I don't know what to say about special functions but they don't work on last boss, Kirie. I guess they make sense if you're having hard time with regular ghosties and mini-bosses.

Wii Edition has infamously bad controls, you'd be better off playing 3 or 1 on a PS2.
