One ahead of Ryu, the other behind him. - Loot the Corpse of the Ninja Ryu killed in the introduction to obtain an Elixir of Spiritual Life. - Open the Chest near the cliffside at the bottom of the hill to obtain an Elixir of Spiritual Life. - Ascend the hill, then climb the cliff until you reach a Chest that holds an Elixir of Spiritual Life. - Climb the next cliff, then proceed up the branch to the upper ledge. Two more Ninjas await for Ryu here. - Wallride the cliffside to the Chest on a nearby ledge that holds a Great Spirit Elixir. - Jump towards the branch, then jump into the passage nearby. Follow it to a spot where the path looks unreachable, then perform a Flying Bird Flip to reach it. - Two Ninjas will emerge as you proceed down the path. Kill them, then wall- jump to the base of the Ninja Fortress. - After you have defeated the two Ninjas at the base of the Ninja Fortress, proceed inside. Enter through the door, where three more Ninjas await. - Open a Chest to obtain a Map of the Ninja Fortress. - Several Ninjas await in the next room! When you're ready, proceed into a hidden passage via the dark-colored wall. - Go into the next room, then proceed away from the Armor Suit. Defeat the three Ninjas, then obtain the two Elixirs of Spiritual Life. Continue up the stairs into the next room. - There are two visible Chests in the room. One has a Lives of the Visible Gods, while the other holds a Technique Scroll: Flying Swallow. - Several Ninjas await in the next room! When you're ready, proceed into a thin window to begin the battle. After the battle, drop into the trap door to proceed into the Storage House. Do not do this until the battle has concluded. Note: You are now introduced to the White Ninja, a much more intelligent and versitile Ninja. - There's a Chest behind the nearby Urns that holds a Great Spirit Elixir. - Many of the Bats hold Health Orbs vital to restoring your Health. You'll want to reserve those Spirit Elixirs for the Boss. - Open the Chest by the two braziers to loot a Fangs of the Samurai. - Follow the path to a wooden walkway, defeat the two Ninjas, then proceed back into the Ninjas Fortress. - Open the Chest to receive the Talisman of Rebirt, then drop back down to the room below. - Return to the Armor Suit in the previous room. After you've received the Courage Key from the Armor Suit, defeat the three Ninjas, then return to the room directly above the Storage Facility. - There is a hidden passage right next to the trap door. Strike the poster on the window with your Dragon Sword to reveal the passage into the next room. - Save your Game. - Head upstairs, then through the door where two White Ninjas await. After you have defeated them, unlock the door with your Courage Key, then head into the next room. - Several White Ninjas await in this room! After you have defeated them, a door to the Boss, Murai will open. --- Boss Battle: Murai The developers of Ninja Gaiden: Sigma throw you immediately into the deep end with a very difficult Boss Battle. Unlike the demo, you won't have two Ninpos at your disposal. The way I did the battle was I bounced off a wall, hit Murai, then jumped back and ran away. Block his regular attacks too, but do not stand close to him for too long, as he will break your Guard with a Grab Attack which depletes quite a bit of your health. Charging your weapon doesn't work because he will either Guard or Counter with an attack of his own. You'd only be wasting time. Do not let Murai back you into a corner because then he will take a brief, but painful advantage of it. Use the wall to your advantage and play this battle defensively. You just need to bring him down to 25% Health. --- Chapter Two: The Hayabusa Ninja Village - Pick up the Elixir of Spiritual Life before you leave Murai's Room. - Return to the base of the mountain where you began with Ninja Gaiden. - Go through the door at the bottom of the Valley of Shadows. Once you've defeated the Bats, interact with the Alter to receive the Art of the Fire Wheels. Drop into the mine below. Proceed onward down the path to the cliffside. - Use the wall to your left to reach the ledge which holds the Chest. The Chest holds a Smoke Bomb. - Three Ninjas will immediately attack Ryu. Following the battle, proceed down the path until you reach a pond. - Several Ninjas will attack you when you have passed the pond. Charge up your Dragon Sword to defeat the initial wave. - Ascend the ladder to reach a Chest that holds a Map of Hayabusa Village. Drop back down, then proceed down the path to a river. - There is a Chest at the base of the waterfall which holds a Life of the Gods. - Locate a small wooden platform at the base of the waterfall. Climb onto it, then proceed upwards to reach the Save Point. - Open the Chest by the Save Point to receive an Elixir of Spiritual Life. - A new Ninja will be introduced in Hayabusa Village. The Ninja Mages may hit like a truck, but their Health is very low. Once you have defeated these Ninjas, proceed down the path, past the Hayabusa Corpse. There is a Statue Head next to it used to receive a Life of the Gods. - There's three Statues near where you came into the village. Placing the Statue Head there will reward you with the Life of the Gods I addressed above. - Opposite of where you looted the Life of the Gods is a path which leads to a Hayabusa Corpse. Examine it to receive an Elixir of Spiritual Life. - There's an alleyway on the left side of Hayabusa Village, just prior to where you looted the Statue Head. Four wooden boards will let you reach the upper window, leading Ryu to Ayane. - After you've received the Bow, drop into the room below, loot the Devil Way Elixir and the Elixir of Spiritual Life, then proceed into the door. - There's a Blacksmith in the Supply Room who will sell you necessities. - Several Ninjas await outside the Supply Room! Defeat them, then proceed down the path to a large region of Hayabusa Village. What begins isn't a Boss Battle, but a new type of Ninja. These Steeded Ninjas attack via both Ranged and Melee, but aren't too difficult to defeat. - You may loot Arrows from a nearby Corpse outside of the Supply Room. It makes a perfect opportunity to try out your new Bow! - There's a Save Point and a Blacksmith past the woodpile nearby. You can also loot the Ninja to receive a Great Spirit Elixir. Cross the bridge to begin the next Boss Battle. --- Boss Battle: Masakado This battle may become a little difficult, basically because of the Mages. It's best to disregard them because it will make the battle a lot less difficult than it needs to be. However, those of you who rely more on the Ninpo Skill, the Mages will often drop red orbs that will replenish your Ninpo Bar. The idea is that you want to remain behind Masakado. When his horse rears itself into the air, that will be your cue to attack. Keep behind him and you won't have a problem. If you're in front of Masakado, move out of his path quickly before he impales you. --- - After you've defeated Masakado, proceed into the door to reach the Save Point. - There is a Chest beyond the Save Point, near the burning building. Open it to receive a Great Spirit Elixir. - Several Ninjas and Mages await nearby! Once they've been defeated, head into the burning building. There's a wall which can be destroyed in the hallway to your left. - Defeat the Ninjas, then continue through the red door to begin the next Boss Battle. --- Boss Battle: Doku Not much of a Battle, more like a massacre. Doku will kick you ass harder than Fight Night. If you do manage to defeat Doku, Mission Mode will be unlocked. As soon as the battle has concluded, Chapter 2 will be complete. --- Chapter Three: Skies of Vengeance - Pick up the Elixir of the Devil Way. - Acces the Save Point. - Exit into the Living Quarters - Proceed into the room directly across the hallway. - Pick up the Elixir of Spiritual Life. - Go back into the Living Quarters. - Proceed down the hallway to the next room on your right. Open the Chest to receive an Elixir of Spiritual Life. - Enter into the room directly across the hallway. Open the Chest to loot the Airship Map. - Attempt to leave the room, defeat the Guards, then return back into the Living Quarters. - Kill the Guards to loot the Wing Key, then proceed into the nearby door. - Proceed into the door to the left of the middle one. Open the Chest for a Life of the Gods. - Return to the previous room. - Enter the door to the right of the large door in the middle of the room. This will lead you into various smaller rooms, bringing you over to the Crew Compartment. - Unlock the door to your left, but do not proceed through. - Enter through the door across the hallway, then descend the elevator. - Proceed through the hallway, then down the elevator on the other side. - In the next room, defeat all the Guards, then pick up the ID Card. - Enter into a nearby door to locate a Treasure Chest. Open it to receive the Dragon's Claw & Tiger's Fang. - Backtrack to the Living Quarters. (Optional) - Unlock the door in the Living Quarters with your ID Card. Head into the next room and be prepared to battle what may seem like hundreds of Guards. Unfortunately, I do not know what happens when you complete the battle. - Go back to the Main Deck. - Beneath the Main Deck is a Save Point, including two locked doors. Open the locked door to the left of the Save Point, proceed into the Middle Cabin, loot the Arrows from the large box, then locate the Gate Control by the window. - Don't operate the Gate Control until you have destroyed the inflammible barrels. - Once you've accessed the Gate Control, you must defeat the Guards. - Lower the Gate and defeat the Guards in the distance with your Bow. - Jump onto the rail, then proceed across to the Aft Cabin. - Jump through the weakened window to the inside of the Aft Cabin. - Strike the machine with your Sword to destroy it, then backtrack to the Crew Compartment. If you didn't hear an alarm, the machine didn't break. - Unlock the door in the Crew Compartment with your ID Card. - Several Guards await in the next room! Some of which must be killed via your Bow. - Run up the wall behind you to reach the upper platform. Kill any Guards that remain up here. - Go down the walkway and open the Chest to obtain a Great Spirit Elixir. - Use the side platforms to cross the large pit and defeat the Guards. Go - When it looks like you're at a dead-end, jump onto the pillar, then run up the tagged wall. When you have reached the peak of your Flying Bird Flip, jump to reach the nearby ledge. - Access the Save Point, then defeat the Guards to reveal a ladder behind them. Don't use it yet. - Walljump to reach a passage near the hatch. Follow the walkway to reach the Hatch Control, then drop down to the bottom of the ladder. Climb up through the hatch. --- Boss Battle: Dynamo It's Dr. Robotnik! The idea here is that you want to move around Dynamo in circles with your Dragon Sword, not the Dragon's Claw & Tiger's Fang. In addition, you want to keep Dynamo in the middle of the platform. Why circles? We don't want to be hit by the beam that he uses. Also, when Dynamo jumps, you need to too. If you're anywhere near him, move out of the way or his Arcane Explosion type attack will hit you hard... Yes, I play World of Warcraft... The best time to attack will be when you're behind him. Hit him a couple of times, then move before he counter-attacks. That's all you need to know to complete the battle. --- Chapter Four: Imperial City Infiltration - Defeat the Guards on the walkway below, then proceed down the path to a Plaza. - Continue down the left path in the Plaza, defeat the Guards, then enter through the large wooden door. - (Military Gate) Examine the Ninja Corpse to obtain a Technique Scroll. - As you come to the middle of the Military Gate, many Guards will begin to appear. Defeat them quickly, then head into the door with the large orange jewel. - Defeat the Guards, then proceed down the walkway to your left.

Open the Chest nearby to receive a Spirit of the Devils. - Go into the door with the Green Symbol. - Turn down the road to your right. Go into the passage on your right. - Use the Flying Bird Flip to reach the platform up top. - Drop down, defeat the Ninjas, then loot the Chest to receive Money! - Unlock the door, proceed down the road to your left, head upstairs to a platform where more of those vicious Ninjas await. - Enter the alley on your left, then walljump to the top. - Proceed across the rooftops to a Ninja's Corpse that holds Suke's Diary. - Loot the Chest at the end of the path to receive a Great Devil Elixir. - Hit the lever behind the Chest to unlock the door below, then drop down and proceed into the next part of town. - Defeat the next batch of vicious Ninjas, then proceed to Han's Bar. Two Motorcyclists will attack before you head into Han's Bar. - Pick up Lily's Key, then head into Han's Bar. - Yes, there's a Save Point, but no, it's not accessible in Chapter 4. Uh, Okay... --- Chapter Five: The Fiend Hunter - Now you are playing Rachel, the Fiend Hunter. Save your Game, then head upstairs. - Go down the road to a large district, but do not head in there just yet. There's a passage to your right just before that with a Chest.

There's a Golden Scarab by the Corpse. - Go back to the Clockwork Plaza, then into the Yellow Symboled door. - Go upstairs on the opposite side of the Save Point. You will want to be about halfway up the second staircase. Turn toward the Ninja above you, jump, then run across the wall to reach the Ninja.

Now move across the wire to the other side, open the Chest to obtain a Life of the Thousand Gods, then return to the platform where you began. This is the same platform where those annoying Ninjas kept hitting you from. - There is a blue rail by the top of the staircase that will let you hang off the edge of the platform.
