This code can also be use for Lord Meyo (number 24 on level 10 only) or any other enemy that you know the "camera owner" number.

Hints
Defeating Onikage
Select two to four grenades and two smoke bombs at the item screen. When fighting Onikage in level 6, throw one grenade and repeat until all of them are used. Throw one of the smoke bombs, do a three hit combo, throw the last smoke bomb, then do another three hit combo.

Use the following steps to easily defeat Onikage on level 10. When you encounter him midway through level 10, turn and run back the way you came from. Make sure he follows you through the large open courtyard and back to the stream. Stand right on the edge of the water and wait for Onikage to attack. He will leap at you and you must avoid him -- Press [Down] to block, so that he falls into the water. He is now defeated and you can save your strength for the final fight with Lord Meyo.

Defeating Tazu
To defeat Tazu on level 4 (Cross The Checkpoint), get two to five grenades and five smoke bombs. Throw a grenade. then wait until she gets up. Then, throw another one. Repeat this process until you have used all your grenades. If she is not dead, throw about three smoke bombs and cut her up.

Deadly 2-hit combo

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon-style jump
Step on a house, statue, or other object, then jump forward. Press [X], [Up]x2 and once you are in the air the more you press them, the longer you will jump. Note: This trick is extremely difficult to do.

Quick training mode and grand master
As soon as you have control of your character, jump over the block and go to the closest corner. Hold [R1] + [L1] to hide and look at the first man. When he is facing in the opposite direction of your character, run and kill him. Save stars when you do not need to use them. Quickly switch to the hook and aim (with [Triangle]) at the edge of the first cliff. Quietly do the same thing at the right corner edge of the second cliff. Now, holding on to the edge, scoot as far to the right as you can (you may be able to see through the wall). Make sure to know when to kill the second man. The third man is tricky. Move to the corner at the end Inside the hallway so you cannot be seen. Use [L1] to look (while holding [R1]) at this man's route. Squat down and jump into where he is located; behind him and quickly kill him. Quietly climb using hook to corner. Look around when the man is closest and turn around kill him. Squat to the edge about a half-foot away from it -- just as long as you can see the man below. When he turns from the light, jump down and kill him. Immediately go back and (you may have to climb back up) so as not to be seen. If you are, just wait until the meter is blue. Sneak behind the archer and kill him. Run to the shadowy part of the first big step, jump up, hang on the second one, and wait till the last man has turned away. Quickly jump up, kill him, and run into the "river room" to receive praise.

Grandmaster on level 1 (Punish The Evil Merchant)
Immediately when you start, use the rope to grapple to the roof directly in front of you. Then, run all the way, not exactly to the main gate, but near it so that there is a house to your left. Jump (or grapple) the house, then run along it to the next house. There should be a hole in the wall. Go in it. If there is a person there, he should be sleeping. Kill him, and if there is a cat, ignore it. Note: This was only done this when there was no one in this room. Jump down the hole in the floor. This should take you in to the room where Echigoya is located. Kill his bodyguard quickly, and keep him away from the door leading out. Make sure no one outside hears you. This is possible to do. The innocent in the room does not count as being "spotted." When he is dead, use the rope to get back up the hole that you used to come down. Go back outside and run along the rooftops until you reach the "town area". If you have done this level before, you should know what house he is in. Go on top of the house directly across the door leading into Echigoya's hiding place. This next part is difficult, but possible. There should be a person standing in the intersection to the right of you and a dog walking around to your left. When both of them are not looking, do a front flip towards the door. If you do not land in it, run into it as soon as possible. Kill Echigoya as fast as you can. A few triple-hit combos should do it. Once you hit him last, you have completed the level. If done correctly, you should have 410 points (400 for never being spotted and 5 each for killing Echigoya's bodyguard and Echigoya himself).

Grandmaster on level 2 (Deliver the Secret Message)
Note: this trick requires two items, the chameleon scroll from level 8 and the lightfoot scroll from level 1. You will need two of each of them. At the item selection screen, choose two of each of the aforementioned items, then begin game play. Get as close to the main road as you can without being seen. Use one of your chameleon scrolls. Move into the center of the road and face the direction you need to go (probably to your left). Be careful, because dogs can see past the chameleon spell. Activate the lightfoot scroll, and when its power ends, keep running until you reach the cart. Even though your chameleon scroll has not worn off yet, use your other one. Then use your other lightfoot scroll. This should take you to the middle of the bridge at the end of the level. Keep running to the end, and you will have gotten Grandmaster with 400 points, all of them for not being seen. Note: A variant of this strategy will also work with level 7 (Destroy the Foreign Pirate).

Grandmaster on level 3
Start out in the forest, then turn left until you reach a forest wall. Find the cave and kill the man inside. Killing silently is preferred, as you need to get 400 points and above to get the scroll. There should be a health potion located here. Continue and kill all the men you meet on the way. If you encounter wolves, wait for them to run toward you. When they reach the range of your sword, slice them. After passing all the caves you should reach the last cave. Be careful here, as most of the enemies are tricky. Using caution, kill all the men, silently if possible, and watch out for the pitfalls. You will reach a bridge that is made of rock. Take care, as the bridge is the most dangerous location. When you reach the middle of the bridge, you should see two doors. Jump to the one on the right. Be very careful -- if you miss you are history. The best way to jump over is to double flip. You will now be in the Boss area. There are three men in this area. One is in the lane you are going to walk to. One of the other two is guarding a health potion. Kill him and get the potion. Find a lane that has two candles together. Go up a short distance and attract the bear. Kill the bear by chopping him three times and back flip when he is trying to attack. After the bear is dead, approach and kill the main Boss. Watch his attacks. Evade the first attack -- it is deadly. If you get hit, go down, use the health potion, then repeat the same technique of killing the bear. If you are lucky, you should get the scroll. It will increase your power and strength.

Grandmaster on level 9 (Reclaim the Castle)
At the start of the level, turn to the right and rope up to the top of the wall. Turn left and run the length of the wall, heading towards the castle. Watch out for the guard on the bridge to your left. Kill him/her (depending on the layout) if you like, but be absolutely certain that you are not seen. From the wall, rope up to the outside of the tower. There should be three levels. The first two will be no problem to scale with the rope. To get to the top level, you will need to back up as far as possible on the level below it, and then rope straight up. You may need to turn yourself a bit to make the rope stick, but with a little practice this should be no problem. Once on the top level, you can fight Onikage. You will end up with 405 points (400 for not being seen + 5 for defeating Onikage), which is enough for Grandmaster. Your prize is the dog bone,which summons an attack dog.

Mission 1: Lightfoot Scroll
Mission 2: Fire-Eater Scroll
Mission 3: Protection Amulet
Mission 4: Sleeping Gas
Mission 5: Ninja Armor
Mission 6: Shadow Decoy
Mission 7: Resurrection Leaf

Quicker way to the summit on level 8
There is a quicker way to get to the summit on level 8 (Cure the Princess). As you are about to enter the second cave (that leads to the summit), stop at the mouth on that ledge. Turn towards the cliff face on your right (so that the mouth of the cave is to your left). Back up as far as you can without falling off the ledge. Activate your ninja rope and aim it as far up the cliff in front of you as possible and release it. If you are successful, this will take you up right next to the summit, making you move just a little bit to complete the level.

Using the chameleon spells
Pick the chameleon spell at the inventory screen. Since the game will only increase these extra items when they are below three, select the spell at least three times. An effective way to reach grandmaster ranking is to have 99 chameleon spells and to use them every time someone is killed to avoid being detected.

Decapitating enemies
Use a chameleon spell and walk directly up to the target. Jump in front of the target and slash him with the death blow ([Square]). Most of the time, this will result in a decapitation.

To perform the deception, you must sneak up on your opponent and press [Forward]x2, [Square].
