Special attack
Press [Y] + [B] to unleash a super attack
that will seriously hurt anyone.
Kill enemies quickly
To kill an enemy very fast, jump towards them fairly
close using [A], then quickly tap [Y] immediately before
you hit them. You should either throw them with the guillotine
throw or slice their heads off. If they keep trying to get off
the ground, tap [Y] again to pin them down or cut their head
off. This is useful when you need some extra money, are almost
dead, or when you just simply want to get through the section
quickly because of frustration.
Finishing kill
While a foe is on the ground, walk up to it and press
[Y]. This will instantly kill almost any foe.
Less battle damage
When you are grabbed by an enemy or a Boss such as
the Dragon, mash the buttons quickly to escape without taking
full damage.
Temporarily disable opponent
When facing an enemy, tap [A] repeatedly. You
will disable the opponent temporarily. This allows you to attack
them easier.
Defeating Alma
To defeat Alma (red greater fiend), equip the Vigorian
Flails. It is recommended that they be completely leveled up.
With the Vigorian Flail, you can still hurt Alma greatly even
when she is in the air. Note: The shuriken, incendiary shuriken,
and bow cannot hurt her; they just bounce off.
In order to defeat Alma's second form you must be patient and
dodge her attacks as in the first form. Wait for her attack dodge,
then attack with a three to five hit combo. Beware of her grapple
attack, as it is more powerful than before.
Defeating Black Spider Ninjas
Jump off the wall and use the [X] attack to smash
down on top off them. Use this repeatedly, but be careful of the
incendiary shurikens that they throw.
Keep blocking, then keep countering and use the moves Guillotine
Throw and Izura Drop. This will kill them in one shot, or hurt
them badly.
Defeating Doku
Keep using the Flying Swallow attack ([A] towards
the enemy, then [Y]). Every time you hit him, roll back,
then jump. After that, try the Electric Ninpo attack. Then, repeat
the process. If Doku keeps blocking the Flying Swallow attack,
keep attacking him with it until it hits him. When he throws his
sword, you can either jump over it, or roll and jump backwards.
When he is doing his combo attack, attack him when he is at the
last attack of his combo.
Defeating Ghost Fish
when you go near a group of Ghost Fish, jump into the
fishes and press [X] to do a whirlwind attack. Repeat this
process after you land and the fishes will not be able to touch
you. If you do get caught, do an Ice Ninpo to get them off. This
is especially useful on your way up the tower in Chapter 15.
Equip the Vigoorian Flails. When encountering Ghost Fish, they
will pause before attacking you all at once. Wait until one moves
then tap [X] a few times until they are dead. More will appear.
Wait until their first movement to attack, or you will attack
too early and will stop twirling the flails before they are all
dead. It is possible to get a combo of 46 hits in the group of
Ghost Fish next to the doorway that opens to the long staircase
going down to the great bridge.
Defeating Lava Dragon
There is a way, when the Lava Dragon tries to bite
you and holds his head for a few seconds while you can attack
him, you can jump on top of his head and stand there briefly and
attack him further. Do the homing jump ([A] + [X]),
but this not happen consistently. Either way, whenever you can
do it, it hurts him a lot. Also try doing a Ninpo attack on top
of its head.
Defeating Muria
In Chapter 16 when you fight Muria with the Dark Dragon
sword, the easiest way to defeat him is to use the Flying Swallow.
When he uses the Dark Dragon technique, use an Art Of The Inferno
to do some damage and not get hurt.
Defeating Red Dragons
When you get to the coliseum where you first fought
Doku, there are sixty Red Dragons. Stand on one of the lower platforms
and use the [Y] attack to kill them.
Defeating Spirit Doku
To defeat Doku the second time you fight him quickly
and without getting hit, simply use the Ninpo attack "The
Art Of The Inferno". If it is level 3, you can kill him in
about six hits.
Defeating the Dragon Boss
To defeat him, try to level up your Lightning Ninpo
to the maximum. Constantly run left or right. When he flaps his
wings you will take a little block damage. The only way to hit
him without getting in the lava is to hit his head when he lays
it down momentarily. Try using the Flying Air Dash attack. He
will try to grab you immediately afterwards; throw in a Ninpo
just after that attack. If you need to use a Great Devil Elixer,
it will be useful.
Defeating the field of flowers Boss
When Ryu enters the field of flowers then chants to
make a stone circle holding him fly into the air, the Boss is
easy to defeat if timed correctly. If you have maxed out Art Of
The Inferno, use this to inflict severe damage on him. It might
require between five or six hits for him to go down using this
Ninpo.
Defeating the Giant Skull Spider
Boss
When facing this Boss, make sure you have full projectile
weapon ammunition and at least one extra Great Devil Elixir. When
the Boss is just standing around in the lava, use the Incendiary
Shurikens so they have a better chance of hitting. When he is
walking around, use the Metal Arrows or the Explosive Arrows.
Use the normal arrows when they are all that you have remaining.
If he is still alive and walking around in the lava and you are
out of ranged weapons, you can either try using Ninpo attacks,
throw the Windmill Shuriken at him, or run out in the lava and
try to fight him. When he attacks with the barrage of skeleton
heads, you will get annihilated if you do not know what to do.
To prevent this from happening, you can try to roll and jump around,
but are probably going to get beat down. You can use the Vigoorian
Flail and swing away. You can also try using a Ninpo attack, such
as the Ice Shards. When the main head comes in to attack, be in
a Ninpo attack so that it does not eat you, or try rolling and
jumping to the side and he will miss. When it is almost dead,
it jumps onto the rock with you and you can finish it off.
Defeating the first Holy Vigoor Emperor
form
To defeat the first form of the Holy Vigoor Emperor
without using Elixirs, Nipo, or projectile weapons, dodge his
laser attack then attack him. Equipping the Armlet Of Sun and
True Dragon Sword is recommended; attack him at the arms and chest
with blade of Twin Headed Dragons or Dragon Tear and Blade Of
Dragons Tail.
Defeating Spirit Piranha
These enemies can kill you very quickly and are extremely
difficult to get away from. They tend to leave a high amount of
red Ki orbs. Simply use the Fire Wheels Ninpo and run through
them. You should get enough red orbs to replenish your Ki. Also,
use the Bracelet that enhances the red orbs.
When at the core of the place, after each room you will go upstairs.
Instead of burning up all your Ninpo attacks, equip the Vigorian
Flails (maxed out) and the Armlet Of Tranquillity. Usually, you
have to face 25 to 30 on each stairway. Wail away using the Vigoian
Flail and you will be rewarded with a lot of Essence. Rest afterwards
if needed to replenish the life bar. This also keeps you from
using up all of your Spirit Elixirs.
Hint: Defeating the Vigorian Emperor's second form (Giant Skull
Spider):
In order to defeat the final form of the Vigorian Emperor, you
must have at least two Great Devil Elixirs and your projectiles
maxed out. Equip the Ice Ninpo. Wait for him to start shooting
out skulls at you. As soon as you see those fly out of him, hit
your Ninpo attack. This will protect you and damage him at the
same time. As soon as the skulls are done flying, he comes in
for a grapple attack that causes instant death. If you time the
Ninpo correctly, this will be blocked. After each Ninpo attack,
hit him with either explosive shurikens or arrows, which will
also inflict some damage. Keep alternating between these attacks.
After about five times of doing this, he should be defeated.
Defeating Worms
You will fight several of these Worms. They can be
cheap if you do not know what to do. Using the Whirlwind Shiruken
is the key. Throw out a maximum of three when they appear from
the holes, then block or dodge. Repeat this for an easy victory.
Defeating Zombies
Use the diving [Y] attack that takes off their
head. It will not kill them, but they will be blind.
When facing the zombies under the cathedral and one of them happen
to lunge at you and starts biting, press [X] + [A] as
quickly as possible to kick it off and reduce the amount of damage
that you receive.
Easy kills
An easy way to kill enemies such as foot soldiers is
to equip the Dragon Sword and run up a wall with an enemy directly
behind you. Hold [X] and if done correctly, you will chop
off their head. Another way is to equip the Windmill Shurkin and
bounce off their head so that they are stunned, You should chop
off their heads. If they block your attack, try again.
Chapter 4: Hidden Scarab
When you go through the door with the three green eyes
before going into the room to fight the black ninjas, go to Ryu's
left. In the thing that looks like a bathtub full of water, you
will find a Scarab.
Chapter 4: Windmill Shuriken and
Xbox
Near Han's Bar in Chapter 4, there is an alley where
you can find the Windmill Shuriken and a silver Xbox that completely
refills your life and Ki. When you find it, start running towards
the right-hand wall in the alley from a distance. Wallrun the
first right wall then jump to the left wall and run it where it
changes angles. Jump when you get to the end of the wall. The
ledge directly across that wall at the top has the two items.
If you need help getting onto the platform, when close in the
air to getting on there, use the shuriken attack to get a little
extra glide.
Chapter 7: Elixirs
Just before battling Alma, when you exit the monk's
room and enter the cathedral room (top floor), you should see
two catwalks leading to the big window towards the cathedral entrance
on both sides of the room. There is a chest in each of them. They
contain one Great Devil Elixir and one Great Spirit Elixir.
Chapter 8: Hidden Scarab
After you get the Strong Bow and hitting the green
eye, go back to the ledge. Before jumping off the ledge do a wall
run to Ryu's left. You should find a Scarab on the ledge.
Chapter 8: Helicopter
While you cannot defeat the helicopter that arrives
at the end of Chapter 8, you can save yourself the trouble of
endlessly dodging around and getting smacked around by its missiles.
When the helicopter intermission sequence ends, just hold [Block].
For some reason if you do not move, the helicopter will not shoot
its missiles at you. Just hold [Block] against the machine
gun fire until the helicopter goes away. You will not receive
any damage for blocking bullets.
Chapter 9: Hidden Scarab
After fighting the mini helicopters and you begin to
go to the other side, you will notice a Scarab on top of one of
the trains. Get that, but before entering the room to get the
military base map and door card. Run straight up the door. On
top of that little office, you will find a Scarab.
Chapter 10: Defeating the Boss
The Boss is similar to a big skeletal bird. He mainly
uses a laser-type attack, and it is fairly simple to dodge. After
dodging his attacks, quickly run up to him and position yourself
between his legs.tUse The Art Of The Ice Storm Ninpo. This is
very effective. He will either fly to the other end of the room
or position himself on a platform above you. Just keep dodging
any attack he throws your way. If he was on the platform, he will
eventually come back down to the floor. Repeat this tactic as
many times as needed. You should go into this battle with at least
two Devil Elixirs. After doing this tactic a few times, he should
be defeated.
Chapter 10: Life Of The Thousand
Gods
After you defeat the two Worms, before you fight the
Dragon Fiend, there is a hallway that generates a seemingly endless
amount of the Pink Fiends. If you can last about five to ten minutes
in there without leaving, the Fiends will stop spawning, and a
chest will appear with a useful reward.
Chapter 16: Skip last platform jumping
sequence
Once you begin Chapter 16, you must reach the Dark
Dragon Blade. When you reach it, press [Start] continuously
and you will skip the FMV sequence and also advance past the last
platform jumping sequence (to reach Rachel). Note: This may not
work the first time you see the FMV sequence.
Hidden Underground: Bridge
After fighting the Skeleton Dinosaur there is a long
bridge. Do not pass through it or you will fall after it crumbles
down. Instead, jump down after saving and later it will be available
for saving or for buying items.
Unlocking underwater door
To unlock the underwater door, enter the combination
"0917".
Unlocking the safe in the monk's
room
To unlock the safe in the monk's room for the first
time you need to enter this combination: press "Analog-Stick
Left "until you reach "2", then press [X]. Press
"Analog-stick Right" until "7", then press [X].
Press "Analog-stick Right" until "1", then press
[X]. Press "Analog-stick Left" until "2",
then press [X]. If done correctly, each time you press [X]
a blue light should turn on, until you see four blue lights and
the elevator to the underground cemetery opens. The combination
is the Monk's birthday as he states in the diary (27th day on
the 12th month). You can now get the Book Of The Eons from the
safe.
When opening the monk's safe for Life Of The Gods, the combination
is different. The code is left to 1, right to 4, left to 1, and
right to 0.
After the flood drops you into the room with the elevator and
the long tunnel you can swim through, take the underwater elevator
up to the monk's room. Dispatch the three Spider Ninja and go
to the safe. The new combination is right to 1, left to 4, right
to 1, left to 0. If you also reread his diary, it will mention
that you ripped him off and will then tell you that the new password
is his daughter's birthday.
Absorbing Essence
It takes one Yellow Essence to do a medium ultimate
attack and two to do the max ultimate attack . However, if you
absorb one Red or Blue Essence, you can do an ultimate attack.
Easy Essence
Killing a foe without using [Y] will give you
five times more Essence.
In Chapters 6 and 7, you will encounter the skeleton dino Boss.
After you defeat him, climb down towards the new opening he made
in the floor, but stop at the save location. Turn around with
your Nunchakun and jump up to the bats. Once you reach them, kill
no more than two to four bats and charge your super attack taking
in two Essence Orbs. Then, unleash the attack and gather up to
2,000 Essence each time. To replenish the bats, jump back to the
save point and repeat. The bats will not hurt you enough to kill,
and will randomly give you health. Once you gather all the Essence
desired, you can whatever desired. The maximum amount of Essence
that can be held is 99,999.
In Chapter 6, in the cave before you encounter the skeleton dragon,
you can get 99,999 Essence. Enter the bat cave and kill a few
bats, then charge up and release your strong attack upon the rest
of the bats. You will receive a substantial amount of Essence.
Then, run back to the save point area which is a short distance
away and continue to do this. If done enough times very quickly,
each time hitting as much bats as you can with the attack, you
can achieve 99,999 Essence in about 35 minutes. Then, save the
game and slaughter the skeleton dragon.
The "Easy Essence" trick that can be done on Chapters
6 and 7 also works on Chapter 10. Go to the room in which you
come down the ladder at the start of the level. It is also the
room that leads into the first aqueduct.
In the Hayabusa Ninja Village before the fight with the Samurai
Horsemen, there are three square targets just beside a dead ninja.
Backtrack a little until you see a parallel wood with the three
targets. Shoot the first two targets with the bow for easy Red
and Yellow Essence.
Go to Han's bar in Tairon, just after the military invades the
city in Chapter 8. There will be four soldiers that you can kill
there. Use the Vigorian Flail to kill them all, using only the
Cremator attack to kill each one. You will typically gain 1,500
to 2,000 Essence for killing all four of them. Enter Han's bar,
then exit it to have them respawn. You can repeat the process
as many times as desired. There is also a save point next to Han's
bar. Save the game every few times you do this in case you die.
In Chapter 12 when you enter the room that you put the iron in
the vat to make the cog, there is a little tunnel that bats regenerate
in. Use the Amulet Of Benediction and you can get about 4,000
Essence each time. The Nunchaku or Vigorian Flails work best.
Equip either one, then throw two shurikens to kill two bats and
absorb the Essence.
There is a location in the Labyrinth of Vigor that can be used
to get easy Essence. There is a tunnel just after a save point,
Muramasa statue, and chest and just before a warp stone. Bats
regenerate in the middle of this tunnel.
Once you begin on Chapter 10, you will start down the manhole
where there is a save point. Ten bats will fly down. With your
Dragon Sword. slice only once and you should kill two or three.
Then, do not slice anymore. Instead, hold [Y] and do an Ultimate
attack to kill the rest of them. You should usually get at least
1,500 Essence. Go back up the ladder then drop back down. Ten
more bats should be there. Repeat the process until you get 99,999
Essence. You can keep going back to this location to refill on
Essence throughout the rest of the game; once you hit Chapter
10, you never have to worry about running out of Essence again.
At Han's Bar (after getting the ticket), just enter and exit the
building and there will be re-spawning enemies.
After exiting the aqueducts and when you go back to Tairon, there
will be new enemies. They look like pink zombies with holes in
their stomach and they shoot fireballs. When you go back to Tairon
and to Han's Bar, you can enter and exit and they will respawn.
Use the Inazuma Ninpo Magic on the first three you see then use
your Ultimate Technique on the last (fourth) one and spawns (the
fourth, spawns after you kill the first three). Then, after you
use the Ultimate Technique it will give you an average of 1500
Essence. For better results, equip yourself with the Armlet of
Benediction. You can also return to Han's Bar after you have obtained
the True Dragon Sword and do the Ultimate Technique on the last
enemy for even more Essence.
Immediately before entering the Aqueducts, after you have exited
the train wreck walk around until the sewer pipes open up. After
defeating the zombies, enter the sewer and you will be greeted
by bats. After killing two of them, they will give you some Essence.
Use the Essence for your ultimate technique (spin Analog-stick
and hold [Y]). This attack will absorb all Essence and Ryu
will make a tornado of attacks, giving you a log of Essence. Just
climb the ladder and jump back down and they will respawn. Note:
There is a save point in same area.
Just before you enter the Caverns, after swimming through the
water in the waterfall there is a ledge. Jump down to find many
bats they come in waves of three to four. After killing two of
them, absorb (Ultimate Technique: Spin Analog-stick and
hold [Y]), then repeat. You can climb up the ledge which
you fell from and go back to save.
Upgrade your Viggorian Flails to level 2, then go to the Labyrinth.
Go to the area where the "ghost piranhas" first appear.
When using the flails, the piranhas will never touch you. Use
you Ultimate Essence attack every chance you get. It only takes
about two minutes to clean out the area, and you can get at least
10,000 Yellow Essence. There is also a save point and shop a short
distance from this area.
Go to the place just before you fight the level 6 Boss(where you
fought the flying bees). There will be a group of bats here. Kill
two, then charge up an Ultimate technique and let it fly. It should
kill the majority of the bats and you will get 1000 to 2000 Essence.
Leave the room, go to the save point, then do it all over again.
In level 13 there will be Fiends that look like strange little
guys who have skin right down to the bone. Go to the Great Bridge
area and equip your Viggorian Flails. Note: They must be fully
upgraded. Then, use the Cremator combo by holding [Forward]
and tapping [X] repeatedly. You should get about thirty hits
per opponent. It does not kill them -- do it again. You should
be able to get about a 100 to 200 hit combo. Once they die you
will get about 2,000 Essence because of the high combo. Leave
the area, return, and repeat.
Throughout the game there are black crows. If you kill them (shooting
with arrows is easiest), they will leave a blue health Essence
behind.
Before you go into The Labyrinth, there is a save point and Shop
Keeper. Save your game and proceed to unlock the gate at the entrance
of the Labyrinth. At the entrance you' will encounter your first
Ghost Piranha. Arm yourself with the Vigoorain Flail (full level)
and kill them all with as many special attacks ([Y] to absorb
Yellow Essence) as possible. Red Essence will also be awarded
-- keep your Ki up. If you get swamped with Ghost Piranha, use
the Inazuma Ninpo. Each time you do this, you can earn up to 7,000
Essence points. Then, go back and buy all the goods possible from
the Shop Keeper. Save your progress as you go. Go back do this
as many times as possible as you progress through the Core of
The Imperial Palace. There are many Bosses to kill and you will
need all the goods for the final showdown.
Easy Scarabs
After you defeat Marai, talk to him. He will show you
a few moves. After that, get out of there. When you first fight
the new troops, kill two, charge up, and take two of the Essence
to do a powerful move. Then when you are at the village, go to
the shop and buy a lot of items until you cannot buy anything
further. The man will give you 50 Scarabs.
More items
Do not pass up the dead ninjas that are lying around.
They have items on them.
Armlet Of Benediction
Give 15 Scarabs to Muramasa.
Armlet Of Fortune
Give 30 Scarabs to Muramasa.
Armlet Of Tranquillity
Give 40 Scarabs to Muramasa.
Dabilahro Sword
Give 20 Scarabs to Muramasa. Note: In successive mode
you do not get it again until you give 43 Scarabs to Muramasa.
Dark Dragon Blade
Successfully complete the game under any difficulty
setting. Start an already completed game and kill anything in
your path. The more people that you kill, the more likely you
will get the Dark Dragon Blade. When you reach the part to upgrade
your Dragon Sword to the final level, jump into the open house
and stay on the top level. The Dark Dragon Blade should now be
into the ground, ready for you to unleash its power.
On your second time through the game or in successive play, in
Chapter 13 when you return to the Hayabusa Village, go to the
second floor of the building the Maramusa statue is in. The Dark
Dragon Blade will be sitting there. Press [X] to pick it
up. Note: You may use it as a weapon.
Dragon sword extra attacks
Quick Charge: Press [Y] after you have landed on the ground.
360 Turn: Press [X] after you have landed on the ground.
You can do several combos starting with [X] after this blow.
Roll Attack Plus Violent Gale: Press [Right] (or another
direction), [Right] + [X], [X]x3; level 2.
Roll Attack Plus Izuna Drop: Press [Right], [Right]
+ [X], [X], [Y], [X]x3, [Y]; level 2,
you must have bought the Izuna Drop Scroll in order to do this
attack.
Golden Scabbard
After you defeat the first Thunder Worm, walk in his
hole, turn around, and wall run up the wall. You should flip up
and get a Golden Scabbard.
Healing Bracelet
Give 40 Scarabs to the shopkeeper for a healing bracelet
that will slowly replenish your health. If you donot care about
time, you can just stand in a no enemy area and just heal away.
Kitetsu Sword
After defeating the Armored Doku (the first time you
fight Doku), he drops his sword. Before you leave the room, make
sure to get his sword, the Kitetsu. This sword has moves different
from the Dragon Sword, and it can also drain an enemy's life and
restore yours by a small amount with this combo: [X]x2,
[Right], [X]x8, [Y] . Also, the basic [Y]
tap attack throws the sword similarly to how Doku threw it at
you during the fight. The only drawback to this weapon is that
when equipped, your life will slowly deplete. However, if
you equip the Armlet Of Tranquillity, this will not happen because
it restores your life at the same rate the Kitetsu drains it.
Life Of The Gods
Give one Scarab to Muramasa.
When you reach the broken bridge in Hayabusa Village, there is
a chest behind some debris. To reach this, rapidly press [A]
when you touch the water, and you will walk on it. You will be
rewarded with a Life Of The Gods.
In level 8, Near Great Bridge Square go through the blue cracked
concrete wall by using the War Hammer. Run along the walls to
get to the windows.
Sprit of the Devils
Give 10 Scarabs to Muramasa.
Unlabored Flawlessness
Upgrade the wooden sword completely to receive its
true form, the Unlabored Flawlessness. It is a large weapon which
you swing like the war hammer and Dabilahro, and has a very powerful
Ki attack. This weapon makes Boss fights easy.
War Hammer
After defeating the flying female Boss that breaks
through the stained glass, immediately when you start the next
level run back into the doors. Go past all the debris and you
can find the War Hammer in the area where you fought the Boss.
Windmill Shuruken
Go to Han's bar but do not go in the front of the club.
There is an alley that has blue striped walls. Run on these blue
stripes and it should lead you to a platform with an silver Xbox
that replenishes your health and a metal plate that holds the
Windmill Shuruken.
Obtaining rewards
Talk to the shopkeeper every time you see him. This
is when he will collect your Golden Scarabs. He will give you
rewards after every several Scarabs.
Note: When the Hurricane Pack from Xbox Live is installed, the
Scarab rewards will change to the following.
Wooden Sword: 5 Scarabs
Armlet of Fortune: 10 Scarabs
Vigoorian Flail: 15 Scarabs
Armlet of the Moon: 20 Scarabs
Dabilahro: 25 Scarabs
Armlet of the Sun: 30 Scarabs

Armlet of Tranquility: 45 Scarabs
Dark Dragon Blade: 50 Scarabs
Kill Rachel
After you get the True Dragon Sword and go through
all the magic circles, exit the last one before the battle with
Alma's second form. You can see the pyramid in the distance with
Rachel on top. If you shoot at her with an arrow, you will hear
her scream and you will receive a game over.
Longer wall running
When you are about to fall from wall running too far,
jump forward towards the wall again. You will start to wall run
again.

Rankings (demo version)
There are four rankings available in the demo version:
Lesser Ninja, Greater Ninja, Head Ninja, and Master Ninja. To
get a "Master Ninja" rank, you must complete the game
in about six to seven minutes. For a "Head Ninja" rank,
complete the game in about seven to eight minutes. For a "Greater
Ninja" rank, complete the game in about eight to fifteen
minutes. For a "Lesser Ninja" rank, complete the game
in more than fifteen minutes. For best speed, do not try to kill
every enemy. Run from all the non-mandatory enemies, defeat the
boss with the big sword, using [Y] counters during his 3-hit
combo.
