For those who want the unique Malice Rewards in SH1.
I've updated a guide provided by Atomos199 from GameFAQ to make it less complicated to understand.
Provided below is a table that will help you achieve every possible secret rewards after cleansing Malice in the Graveyard:
| Enemies | 0-2 Fusion LV | 3-5 Fusion LV | 6-8 Fusion LV | 9-11 Fusion LV | 12-14 Fusion LV | 15-18 Fusion LV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| 2 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 10 |
| 3 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 10 | 12 | 15 |
| 4 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 20 |
| 5 | 10 | 12 | 15 | 17 | 20 | 25 |
Each enemy give Malice Points, and the amount varies depending on how many enemies are on screen and what your current Fusion LV is.
Here's how it works, starting with back to the beginning of the game:
- Two Wolves in the Plains while having Fusion LV 2, (having only Death Emperor and Raging Tiger), will yeild 4 points. This will reward you the Seal of Wisdom once you go to the Graveyard and cleanse your pendant of Malice.
- Fighting a Wolf and either two Vampire Bats/Venomous Spiders in the Plains, while still having only Death Emperor and Raging Tiger (totalling up to Fusion LV 2), will yeild 6 points.
- Once you have reached Fusion LV 3 after slaying enough Wolves to unlock the Tornado Soul, you will still yeild 4 points, as what Fusion LV you've upgraded to after the battle does not affect how much you've gained during the fight.
- If you then fight two Wolves again while at Fusion LV 3, you will then gain 5 points instead of 4 points.
- [EDIT]: I'm not 100% sure, but apparently bosses and mini-bosses do not yield Malice Points.
Provided below are the one-time rewards that can be obtained upon reaching a certain amount of points:
| Reward | Points Needed |
|---|---|
| Seal of Wisdom | 4 |
| Key to Success | 7 |
| Seal of Vitality | 25 |
| Silver Hand | 35 |
| Kirin Scale | 42 |
| Seal of the Soul | 50 |
| Seal of Force | 56 |
| Seal of Speed | 60 |
| Seal of Strength | 63 |
| Seal of Life | 70 |
| Seventh Key | 77 |
| Seal of Aura | 84 |
| Monkey's Paw | 91 |
| Seal of Luck | 98 |
| Dice of Caesar | 99 |
Bear in mind that once you reach a high enough Fusion LV, certain rewards will be permanently missable, with the exception of rewards needing points that are multiples of 5.
