Introduction [ITR]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The purpose of this guide is to give you strategies to help effectively fight the different enemy types in Ninja Gaiden II. The strategies mentioned in the guide will be set up to assist in dealing with these enemies when fighting them alone or in groups, but it will not cover specific circumstances that can play to your advantage or disadvantage such as the terrain or the specific enemy pairing. Even so, most of these strategies can be applied in some way under any circumstances, which will allow you to make the most of them regardless. The enemies are divided into groups that are based on their physical appearances and are then divided into the specific enemies. Each group will have characteristics that they share, which are explained below: Izuna Drop: Are these enemies able to be Izuna Dropped? Limb removal: Can limbs be removed from these enemies? Death by decapitation: Will these enemies die when decapitated? Self-Destruct: Will these enemies self-destruct (guard break) when killed? Shuriken stun: Are these enemies stunned by Shurikens? Incendiary Shurikens: Will Incendiary Shurikens work on these enemies? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~II. Version Updates [VRS]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1.0: I believe all the enemies are listed here. There might be an attack or two missing for the Armadillo, but I believe that's it. Otherwise, I intend to expand on the tips for each enemy. 1.1: Added the missing enemy types, updated a few enemies' move lists, and made it easier to find specific enemies. 1.2: Some minor additions to the details for ninja moves and for a number of the specific enemy strategies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~III. Ninjas [NIJ]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Izuna Drop: yes Limb removal: yes Death by decapitation: yes Self-Destruct: no Shuriken stun: yes (except for archers wielding their bows) Incendiary Shurikens: yes ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Black Spider Ninja [N01] Description: It's a basic ninja with brown-colored clothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Slashes: It will slash you two to five times. All slashes are blockable. Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you. If you are grabbed, you will be slashed once. Cartwheel Grab: It will do a cartwheel in an attempt to grab you. If you are caught in the cartwheel, you will be hit twice. Shurikens: It will throw some shurikens at you. They can be blocked.

Can be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- As far as enemies go, this is about as basic as it gets. Even in groups, there's nothing really menacing about them. Countering works well on them, as their slashes are easy to counter and doing so could take off a limb. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Fire Archer [N02] Description: It's a Black Spider Ninja with a bow and fire arrows. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Long range) Fire Arrows: It will shoot fire arrows at you. The arrows will guard break. (Close range) Slashes: It will slash you two to five times. All slashes are blockable. Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you. If you are grabbed, you will be slashed once.

Can be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- These are basically brown ninjas with bows. If you move in to close range, they'll either try to flip away from you or pull out their swords and start fighting like regular Black Spider Ninjas until you're away from them. You can approach them more easily with Wind Runs, although using an attack that can keep them off-balance, such as the Windmill Shuriken, is helpful. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: White Ninja [N03] Description: It's a basic ninja with white-colored clothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Slashes: It will slash you two to five times. All slashes are blockable. Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable.

Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and stab you five times, followed by blowing itself up unless you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Shuriken: It will throw a shuriken at you. It can be blocked. Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip.

Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Shuriken: It will throw a shuriken at you. Can be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- It's a Black Spider Ninja upgrade. Fight it the same way. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Explosive Archer [N04] Description: It's a White Ninja with a bow and explosive arrows. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Long range) Explosive Arrows: It will shoot explosive arrows at you. The arrows will guard break, but still do damage. (Close range) Slashes: It will slash you two to five times. All slashes are blockable. Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you. If you are grabbed, you will be slashed once. Cartwheel Grab: It will do a cartwheel in an attempt to grab you. If you are caught in the cartwheel, you will be hit twice. Shurikens: It will throw some shurikens at you. They can be blocked. Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No arm, close range) Slashes: It will slash you two to four times. All slashes are blockable. Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and stab you five times, followed by blowing itself up unless you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Shuriken: It will throw a shuriken at you. It can be blocked. Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No leg, close range) Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on your back and impale you with its sword. It will continue to impale you until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Shuriken: It will throw a shuriken at you. Can be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- These are basically white ninjas with bows. If you move in to close range, they'll pull out their swords and fight like regular white ninjas until you move away again. Their arrows are deadly accurate and powerful, so take them out quickly. Wind Run is useful against them, but it's not always reliable due to how quickly they fire their arrows. Attacks with some sort of range are useful against them, such as the Windmill Shuriken or the Scythe's Ultimate Technique. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Fiend Ninja [N05] Description: It's a basic ninja with dull green-colored clothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Slashes: It will slash you two to five times.

Cartwheel Grab: It will do a cartwheel in an attempt to grab you. If you are caught in the cartwheel, you will be hit twice. Shurikens: It will throw some shurikens at you. They can be blocked. Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No arm) Slashes: It will slash you two to four times. All slashes are blockable. Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable. Shurikens: It will throw some shurikens at you. They can be blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and stab you five times, followed by blowing itself up unless you shake it off.

Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No leg) Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on your back and impale you with its sword. It will continue to impale you until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Shuriken: It will throw a shuriken at you. Can be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- These are more powerful White Ninjas. Izuna Drops are good for taking them out. Be very careful of their powerful suicide throws. Since these are often in packs with more powerful enemies, it helps to keep them as far away as possible while dealing with other enemies so that they can't use a throw. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Black Spider Claw Ninja [N06] Description: It's a brown-colored ninja wielding claws in each hand. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Slashes: It will slash you two to four times.

If you are grabbed, you will be slashed twice. Shurikens: It will throw some shurikens at you. They can be blocked. Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No arm) Slashes: It will slash you two to four times. All slashes are blockable. Flip Slashes: It will slash you four times while flipping. The first three slashes are blockable and the last slash will guard break if blocked. Kicks: It will kick you three times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and slash repeatedly until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Shuriken: It will throw a shuriken at you. It can be blocked. Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No leg) Slash: It will slash you. Can be blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and slash repeatedly until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Shuriken: It will throw a shuriken at you. Can be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- There's very little difference between these and the regular ninja types. Fight them the same way. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Incendiary Shuriken Ninja [N07] Description: It's a black-colored ninja wielding claws in each hand. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Slashes: It will slash you two to four times. All slashes are blockable. Flip Slashes: It will slash you four times while flipping. The first three slashes are blockable and the last slash will guard break if blocked.

If you are grabbed, you will be slashed twice. Incendiary Shurikens: It will throw some incendiary shurikens at you. They can be blocked.

Kicks: It will kick you three times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and slash repeatedly until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Incendiary Shuriken: It will throw an incendiary shuriken at you. It can be blocked. Incendiary Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some incendiary shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No leg) Slash: It will slash you. Can be blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and slash repeatedly until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Incendiary Shuriken: It will throw an incendiary shuriken at you. Can be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Although these are essentially the same as Black Spider Claw Ninjas, their Incendiary Shurikens are what make them notorious. Izuna Drops are good for taking them out. When fighting them in groups, try using moves that give you temporary invincibility to help avoid the Incendiary Shurikens, such as Guillotine Throws. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Fiend Incendiary Shuriken Ninja [N08] Description: It's a Purple Ninja wielding claws in each hand. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Slashes: It will slash you two to four times.

The first three slashes are blockable and the last slash will guard break if blocked. Kicks: It will kick you three times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and slash repeatedly until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Incendiary Shuriken: It will throw an incendiary shuriken at you. It can be blocked. Incendiary Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some incendiary shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No leg) Slash: It will slash you. Can be blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and slash repeatedly until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. Incendiary Shuriken: It will throw an incendiary shuriken at you. Can be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- These are more powerful Incendiary Shuriken Ninjas. Izuna Drops are good for taking them out, but they will leave you at risk of being grabbed. When fighting them in groups, try using moves that give you temporary invincibility to help avoid the Shurikens, such as Guillotine Throws. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Tac Ninja [N09] Description: It's a gray ninja with green markings on its mask that wields a machine gun and swords. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Slashes: It will slash you two to five times. All slashes are blockable. Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable. Cartwheel: It will hit you with a cartwheel and then shoot you a few times with its machine gun. Aerial Fire: It will flip over your head and rain machine gun fire down on you. It can be blocked, but you will be guard locked if you block it. Machine Gun Fire: It will shoot you with its machine gun. The length of time it will try shooting you will vary. It can be blocked, but you will be guard locked if you block it. Grab: It will try to grab you. If you are grabbed, you will be slashed once. Cartwheel Grab (Sword): It will do a cartwheel in an attempt to grab you. If you are caught in the cartwheel, you will be slashed twice. Cartwheel Grab (Gun): It will do a cartwheel in an attempt to grab you. If you are caught in the cartwheel, you will be knocked down and it will keep shooting you until you break out of the grab. (No machine gun arm) Slashes: It will slash you two to four times. All slashes are blockable. Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you.

Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No sword arm) Machine Gun Fire: It will shoot you with its machine gun. The length of time it will try shooting you will vary. It can be blocked, but you will be guard locked if you block it. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you.

It can be blocked, but you will be guard locked if you block it. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on your back and impale you with its sword. It will continue to impale you until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. -------------------------------------------------------------------- These have the same sword-based moves as the basic ninjas, but now have an expanded move list for their machine guns. In addition, they have a high tendency to flip around a lot instead of attacking. In groups, their machine gun attacks can become annoying due to guard locking, but you can dodge it fairly easily. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Rocket Ninja [N10] Description: It's the same design as the Tac Ninjas, but with a brown outfit and red markings on its mask. It wields a rocket launcher. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Rocket Launcher: It will fire a rocket at you. It will guard break. (Without Rocket Launcher) Slashes: It will slash you two to five times. All slashes are blockable. Dash Slash: It will do a small dash and slash once. The slash will guard break. Kicks: It will kick you three or four times. All kicks are blockable. Grab: It will try to grab you. If you are grabbed, you will be slashed once.

If it does, it will climb on you, impale you, and blow itself up. Shuriken: It will throw a shuriken at you. It can be blocked. Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No leg) Rocket Launcher: It will fire a rocket at you. It will guard break. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on your back and impale you with its sword. It will continue to impale you until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. -------------------------------------------------------------------- In groups, these enemies can be annoying. One thing to keep in mind is that the amount of time between their rockets will fire is based on when the rocket explodes, as the next one will launch within a few seconds after that occurs. Shurikens will allow you to stun them so you can move in safely for the kill. If you are right next to one for a few seconds, it will drop its rocket launcher and fight you at close range. If you take its leg off and move next to it, it will glitch and be unable to move. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Multi-Rocket Ninja [N11] Description: It's the same design as the Tac Ninjas, but with a brown outfit andd red markings on its mask. It wields a multi- rocket launcher. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Multi-Rocket Launcher: It will fire rockets at you. They will guard break.

If it does, it will climb on you and stab you five times, followed by blowing itself up unless you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you, impale you, and blow itself up. Shuriken: It will throw a shuriken at you. It can be blocked. Shuriken Backflip: It will throw some shurikens at you while doing a backflip. They can be blocked. (No leg) Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on your back and impale you with its sword. It will continue to impale you until you shake it off. Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. -------------------------------------------------------------------- In groups, these enemies can be annoying. One thing to keep in mind is that the amount of time between their rockets will fire is based on when the last rocket explodes, as the next one will launch within a few seconds after that occurs. Shurikens will allow you to stun them so you can move in safely for the kill. It will only drop its rocket launcher once it loses a limb. One Incendiary Shuriken will take off a limb, which is enough to render it harmless. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IV. Warlocks [WLK]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Izuna Drop: yes Limb removal: yes Death by decapitation: yes Self-Destruct: no Shuriken stun: yes Incendiary Shurikens: yes ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Warlock [WL1] Description: Purple floating enemy that wield blade weapons in each hand and teleports. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Five-hit combo: It will do five hits with its blades. The fifth hit will guard break and the rest can be blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you. If you are grabbed, you will be slashed twice. Fireball: It will do a short chant and then launch a fireball at you. On higher difficulties, they may be launched in succession. They will guard break and do minor damage if blocked. Fire Geyser: It will do a longer chant and then cause a geyser of fire to appear under you. It can not be blocked. (No arm) Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. (No leg) Kamikaze Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will climb on you and blow itself up. -------------------------------------------------------------------- These guys can be tricky to fight in groups because of their magic attacks, but each one has two distinct chants that make it easy to know when they will be used. Don't let your guard down while close to one or else it will grab you for high damage. They are most vulnerable while in the middle of a chant. If you can't outright kill one during its chant, it is worthwhile to at least interrupt it so that it can't get any spells off. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Fiend Warlock [WL2] Description: White floating enemy that wield blade weapons in each hand and teleports. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Five-hit combo: It will do five hits with its blades.

If you are grabbed, you will be slashed twice. Teleport Grab: It will try to grab you as it appears. If you are grabbed, you will be slashed three times and then hit by an explosion.

Fire Geyser: It will do a longer chant and then cause a geyser of fire to appear under you. It can not be blocked.

These guys can be tricky to fight in groups because of their magic attacks, but each one has two distinct chants that make it easy to know when they will be used. Don't let your guard down while close to one or else it will grab you for high damage. They are most vulnerable while in the middle of a chant. If you can't outright kill one during its chant, it is worthwhile to at least interrupt it so that it can't get any spells off. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~V.

The easiest way to beat them is by using a fully- charged Windmill Shuriken Ultimate Technique, which will instatly kill one. Also, any methods that will take off a limb for an Obliteration Technique are effective. If you decapitate one, it will have difficulty locating you. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X.

It will guard lock you if blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- It's a very simple enemy type. The Scythe will tear it appart. Keep your guard up after performing a combo against it, as it will immediately retaliate with a heavy stream of bullets and start moving faster for a period of time. Hitting it quickly from multiple directions, such as multiple Flying Swallows, will keep its turret away from you. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Four-Leg Missile Mech [MC2] Description: Robot with four legs that launches missiles. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Missiles: It will fire missiles at you. They will guard break if blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- An upgraded Four-Leg Machine Gun Mech. The Scythe will tear it appart.

It will guard break. Machine Gun Fire: It will shoot you with its machine gun. It will guard lock you if blocked. Machine Gun Smack: It will smack you four times with its machine gun. It will guard break if blocked. Blue Orb: It will launch a blue orb from its head. It will guard break and deal damage if blocked. Air Dash: It will dash at you while slightly off the ground.

It will guard break if blocked. Landing: It will fly up into the air and land on you. Can not be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- These are very powerful, and yet very balanced enemies. Attack them between combos or at a distance with the Scythe's Ultimate Technique. They tend to be most vulnerable after performing a landing attack. Limb removal with the Scythe or with the Lunar's 360 Ultimate Technique followed by an Obliteration Technique is an effective way to take them out. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Hoverbot [MC4] Description: It's a floating robot. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Missiles: It will fire missiles forward. They will guard break if blocked. Missile Arc: It will fire missiles in an arc in front of it. They will guard break if blocked. Missile Spread: It will fire missiles in a circle. They will guard break if blocked. Missile Rain: It will fire missiles upward that will fall from above. They will guard break if blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Although their accuracy isn't perfect, they are still annoying to deal with, especially since they move around so quickly. Keep them locked in place with powerful combos, such as the Scythe's aerial XYY until they are destroyed. They will spend most of their time moving around as opposed to attacking, making it worthwhile to deal with other enemies first when fighting them in a group. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Black Widow [MC5] Description: It's a four-leg female spider robot with two heads. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Arm Swings: It will swings its arm wide twice.

It will guard break if blocked. Shock: It will shoot out electricity in front of it. It will guard break if blocked. Stab Grab: It will stab you and then try to grab you. If it does, it will impale you with its foot and slam you down. The stab can be blocked. (No arm) Arm Swing: It will swings its arm wide once. It will guard break if blocked. Triple Arm Strike: It will strike you three times with its arm. The first hit can be blocked and the rest will guard break. Triple Leg Strike: It will strike you three times with its legs.

Piercing Drill: It will lunge forward while spinning its legs. It will guard break if blocked. Drill Dive: It will dive down while spinning its legs. It will guard break if blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- These are best dealt with at a distance with the Scythe's Ultimate Techniques. Otherwise, you'll want to take off an arm to set it up for an Obliteration Technique. Their drill dive has the potential to glide across the ground and carry it for long distances, so be on guard when it is about to use it. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XI.

It will guard break if blocked. Wing Smack: It will smack you with its wing. Can be blocked. Fire Breath: It will spray fire in front of it. Can not be blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you with its mouth. If it does, it will swing you around, chomp you, then toss you away. -------------------------------------------------------------------- A very powerful enemy type. It will take a lot of damage to take these down, not to mention that they aren't stunned easily. The Scythe's Ultimate Technique is a good safe way to take it out. Also, take advantage of being able to block most of its attacks. They move fairly quickly on the ground, but tend to remain in one place when in the air. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XII. Centaurs [CNT]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Izuna Drop: no Limb removal: no Death by decapitation: no Self-Destruct: no Shuriken stun: no Incendiary Shurikens: yes ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Centaur [CT1] Description: Human/horse with a spear. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Spear Stab: It will stab you with its spear. It will guard break if blocked. Spear Swipe: It will swing its spear at you. It will guard break if blocked. Stomp: It will hit you with its front legs. It will guard break if blocked. Shockwave: It will launch a shockwave at you. It will deal damage and guard break if blocked. Spear Grab: It will try to grab you with its spear. If it does, it will swing you around and slam you down. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The safest way to take care of it is to use either Scythe Ultimate Techniques or ninpo. Aerial attacks also work well, just be careful of its grab. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XIII. Worms [WRM]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Izuna Drop: no Limb removal: no Death by decapitation: no Self-Destruct: no Shuriken stun: no Incendiary Shurikens: yes ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Worm [WM1] Description: It's a worm that pops out of the ground. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Smack: It will smack with its head one to three times. It will guard break you if blocked. Spin: It will spin itself around. It will guard break you if blocked. Burrow: It will burrow underground and then pop up underneath you. Acid Spit: It will spit an acid ball at you. The number it will spit in succession will vary. It will guard break you if blocked. Tongue Grab: It will extend its long tongue to grab you. If grabbed, it will flail you around above its head until you break out of it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- An effective method for taking these out is to move in, use the Lunar's XYYY combo, and then move out of attacking range. The combo will stun it on all hits, making it unable to hit you during that time. Otherwise, be careful while dealing with these guys in groups at a distance, as their acid spit is powerful and they can pop up underneath you unexpected if you don't keep an eye on them. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XIV. Dragons [DRG]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Izuna Drop: no Limb removal: no Death by decapitation: no Self-Destruct: no Shuriken stun: no Incendiary Shurikens: yes ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Dragon [DG1] Description: Flying enemy that shoot fireballs. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fireball: It will shoot a fireball at you. It will damage you if blocked. Dive: If it is close by, it will dive into you. It will guard break if blocked. There is a possibility that it will end up falling to the ground and dying when it uses this. -------------------------------------------------------------------- A very simple enemy, although you'll need to use ranged attacks to hit it. Be careful of its dive attack, as they can juggle you with it. You can try to hit them with a combo or Ultimate Technique when they dive. They are generally best left as the last enemy to attack when in groups. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XV. Bugs [BGS]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Izuna Drop: no Limb removal: no Death by decapitation: no Self-Destruct: no Shuriken stun: no Incendiary Shurikens: yes ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Skeleton Bug [BG1] Description: Brown skinny bugs. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Strike: It will strike you once or twice. Can be blocked. Jump Attack: It will jump at you.

It will guard break if blocked. If it hits you, it will knock you over and keep hitting you until you break out of it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- A very weak enemy, although you have to be careful of them in groups as their guard breaking can be a nuisance. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XVI.

Chomp: It will chomp you. Can not be blocked. Grab: It will grab you in its mouth, flail you around, then toss you up. The easiest way to kill it is to find a safe spot that it can't attack you in and slaughter it with the Gatling Spear Gun. It is possible to hit them from land, such as with the bow, but it will take a long time to kill them all while doing so. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XIX.

If it's in a group, kill the other enemies and use the essence to hit it with Ultimate Techniques. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Fiend Rasetsu [B02] Description: Big orange spider. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Double Strike: It will strike you twice.

To beat him effectively, you must wait for one of his combos to end and then get in a quick combo of your own. If you attack him at any other time, he will either hit you first or block and counter. The two best times to hit him are after his Flying Swallow or dashes. As far as which attacks to use, any strong and quick attacks work. In particular, the Talon's ->XXXXXX combo and the Dragon Sword's XYY combo are safe and effective against him. If he has minions with him, take them out first. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Fiend Genshin [B04] Description: Human with black body armor, red pants, a claw, and the Blade of the Archfiend. His sword may also go on fire. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Underworld Drop: He will try to grab you.

The Kusari-gama's aerial YY combo will allow you to deal good damage to him without having too much trouble with his teleportation counters. If he has minions with him, ignore them and focus on him. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Gigadeath [B05] Description: Big metallic fish. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Electric Orb Barrage: It will lauch a long stream of electric orbs. They will guard break if blocked. Mini Missiles: It will launch small versions of itself at you that will explode on contact. They will guard break if blocked. If they are killed first, which can be done easily with the Lunar's YYYY or ninpo, they will drop essence.

Electricity Repel: If you get close to its belly, it will shock you. Can not be blocked. Grab: It will speed up and try to grab you. If it does, it will drag you against the wall and toss you away. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The primary way to damage this boss is to hit its face with charged arrows. You'll need to move after every arrow or two because it will be moving back and forth. Stay away from it, as it will shock you if you get too close to its belly. If it turns over, get as many hits in as you can before it turns back over. You can beat it by making use of the invincibility gained through the Lunar's 360 Ultimate Technique. Use it as Gigadeath approaches to damage it without being shocked. There will be an arrow corpse nearby. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Godomus [B06] Description: It's a giant blind troll that is gray in color. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Punch: It will punch you.

If you choose to attack it from the front, it will temporarily fall over if you do enough damage. Once its health is low, you can finish it off with an Obliteration Technique. If it has minions with it, you are likely better off focusing on it. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Alexi [B07] Description: He's human-like in appearance with blue wings, black clothes, and an exposed chest. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Regular mode) Punches: He will punch you four times.

Grab: He will try to grab you at close range. If he does, he will punch you twice, shock you, slam you, and then knock you away. Dive Grab: He will dive at you from the air in an attempt to grab you. If he does, he will shock you and then slam you away. (Chapter 13 version only, Berserk mode) Punches: He will punch you four times. The first three hits will guard break if blocked, but the last hit can not be blocked. Dash Punch: He will dash at you and then punch. It will guard break if blocked. Dash Punches: He will dash at you and then punch six times. The first five hits will guard break if blocked, but the last hit can not be blocked.

Lightning Slam: He will go into the air and slam his fist down with lightning. Can not be blocked. Lightning Repel: He will surround himself with lightning. Can not be blocked. Double Zap: He will throw two lightning blasts at you from the air and will continue using this until you move in close to him. Can not be blocked and is best dash-dodged in a zig-zag pattern. Tornado: He will spin around and become a tornado, then try to run into you. He will then change direction and try to hit you again after that. Can not be blocked, but Wind Runs or Flying Swallows will get you through it. Grab: He will try to grab you at close range. If he does, he will punch you twice, shock you, slam you, and then knock you away. Berserk Grab: He will try to grab you at close range. If he does, he will hit you four times, spin you around, and then toss you away. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexi's strength is his agility. All of his attacks are fast and require precise timing to avoid. To top it all off, once his health gets very low, he will enter berserk mode, gaining a boost in both attack power and speed. Some good times to hit him are after dodging his dive attacks or after dodging his close-range combos. Aerial attacks that give you good height, such as the Kusari-gama's YXY aerial, or give you temporary invincibility, such as the Scythe's XYY aerial, are effective as well. If he has minions, try to take them out as soon as possible. You will want to be able to make effective use of dodge timing and they will only get in the way. You can also try to hit him with a powerful move while he's preparing his tornado or lightning orbs to stun him. From there, you can use the Flails' X attack repeatedly to beat him without any trouble. Keep in mind that you want just the X attack repeatedly, not an X-based combo. Also, even if you do stun him, he will occasionally break out of it too quickly for you to take advantage of it. When fighting his chapter 13 version, he will enter berserk mode once his health is low. Try to kill him quickly at this point, as his increases in strength and speed will make him deadly. If there are minions, try to gradually take them out as you fight him. If you try to focus solely on them, you'll likely get hit by Alexi. Chaining Ultimate Techniques is a safe way to kill them while damaging him. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Water Dragon [B08] Description: Giant blue dragon. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Water Shockwave: It will send a shockwave of water at you. Can not be blocked. Curve Shockwave: It will send a shockwave of water at you that will curve as it moves. Can not be blocked. Icicles: It will send homing icicles at you. Can not be blocked. Jump: It will jump up and slam down. Can not be blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you with its mouth. If it does, it will chomp you until you break out of it. Tentacle Grab: It will try to grab you with its tentacle. If it does, it will flail you around and then slam you down. Summon Ghost Fish: It will summon Ghost Fish. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The easiest way to beat it is to stay on the starting platform and shoot its face with charged arrows. You can dodge its attacks back and forth, although you'll likely get hit by its icicles. The other way to fight it is to water run around it and hit it with a combo in between its attacks while circling around it. Once you weaken it, you can finish it off with an Obliteration Technique. If there are minions, take them out first. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Bone Skeleton [B09] Description: Giant skeleton. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fist Swing: It will swing its fist once and then slam its fist. It will guard break if blocked. Fist Swings: It will swing its fist twice and then slam its fist. It will guard break if blocked. Fist Slams: It will slam its fists multiple times. It will guard break if blocked. Elbow Slam: It will slam its elbow. It will guard break if blocked. Arm Spin: It will spin its arm all the way around. It will guard break if blocked. Bone Kick: It will kick with its foot and send a shockwave of bones toward you. It will guard break and deal damage if blocked. Bone Drop: It will drop bones down directly in front of it. It will guard break if blocked. Bone Toss: It will toss bones left over from the Bone Drop attack at you. Wall Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will put you in its mouth and slam you against the wall until you break out of it. Sitting Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will sit down, drop bones on you, crush you with its hand, and toss you away. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Try to get right behind its leg and spam a powerful combo on it. A few of them should cause him to fall. From then on, constatly using the combo should make him unable to hit you until his health is low. Even then, he will only be able to attack once or twice before he will be knocked down to be finished off. As long as you stay behind him, he will only be able to hit you with his spin, which can be blocked, or the beginning of his kick, which can be dodged. If he's becoming a problem during the beginning or near the end when he's able to get a hit or two in, you can use Inferno ninpo to help the process along. As long as you stay behind him, he should only be able to hit you with his spinning attack, which can be blocked. If he has minions, you're likely better off ignoring them and going all out on it. Otherwise, you could use their essence to chain Ultimate Techniques on it. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Volf [B10] Description: He's a giant werewolf with four arms and a scythe. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Scythe Swings: He will do three big swings with the scythe, spin it around above him, swing again, then slam it down. The scythe swings will guard break if blocked, but the slam can not be blocked. If he hits you with the third swing, he will knock you into the air to be juggled by his high swings. Spin Strike: He will spin the scythe around twice, then slam it down. It will guard break if blocked. Punch Spin: He will punch once or twice and then spin the scythe twice. The punches can be blocked and the scythe swings will guard break if blocked. Slam: He will slam the scythe down once or twice. It will guard break if blocked. Jump Slam: He will jump into the air and slam the scythe down. Can not be blocked. Scythe Toss: He will hook the Scythe into your body and toss you over his head. Can not be blocked. Dash: He will dash at you for heavy damage. Can not be blocked. Shockwave: He will send a shockwave at you. Can not be blocked. Counter Swings: If he blocks you attack, he will counter with four heavy scythe swings. They will guard break you if block them. Counter Dash: If he blocks you attack, he will counter with three heavy scythe swings and then dash. The swings will guard break you if block them, but the dash can not be blocked. (Chapter 12 form only) Grab: He will try to grab you. If he does, he will slam you down, slash you three times, and knock you away. Dash Grab: He will dash at you to try and grab you. If he does, he will slam you down, slash you three times, and knock you away. -------------------------------------------------------------------- As his move list will probably tell you, Volf relies heavily on his raw power. Almost all his attacks will either guard break you or simply can not be blocked. You can, however, take advantage of his low speed and get in a combo in between his combos. Be very careful of attacking as he prepares to attack or else he may block you attack and counter. A very simple way to beat Volf as long as you practice the timing for it is to stun-lock him with the Scythe. When using the Scythe's aerial XXY on him as he prepares to attack, one of the two X hits should be blocked. Immediately after being blocked, hit YY and you will both damage and stun him with the hits. Wait a few seconds for him to begin his attack again and repeat the process. As long as your X attacks hit him properly, you can use this to effectively never be hit. Be very careful about waiting too long to attack him, though, or else he will repel you and you will fall directly in front of him, at which point he has a very high likelihood of dashing you. Volf can also be stunned as he either prepares or ends an attack. Any very quick attack that deals good damage may stun him, but the opening to stun him is very small. He will always remained stunned long enough to prepare the Flails. Alternatively, you can get away from him and lure him into dashing. As he gets near you, use a Wind Run to dodge him and use the Scythe's XXY aerial combo at the peak of the jump. Along with dealing a good amount of damage to him, the hits will also stun him. You can then back away from him and repeat this method until he falls. The disadvantage to this method is that you run the risk of being taken out by the dash if you time your dodge wrong. If he has minions, you can ignore them or go for them first. Be careful if you choose to go after the minions, though, as he may attempt to dash you. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Armadillo [B11] Description: Giant armadillo. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal) Spin: It will spin around. It will guard break if blocked. Eruption: It will launch molten rocks from its shell at you. Can not be blocked. Fire Breath: It will breathe fire at you. Can not be blocked. Roll: It will roll at you. It will guard break if blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you with its mouth. If it does, it will chomp on you and then blast you with fire to knock you away. (Berserk) Spin: It will spin around. It will guard break if blocked. Eruption: It will launch a lot of molten rocks from its shell at you. Can not be blocked. Fire Breath: It will breathe fire at you. Can not be blocked. Erupting Roll: It will roll at you while launching molten rocks at you. It will guard break if blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you with its mouth. If it does, it will chomp on you and then blast you with fire to knock you away. -------------------------------------------------------------------- You'll need to attack its face to beat it. Although any powerful combos work, the easiest method is to use Incendiary Shurikens on it, since they will stun it. Once its health gets low, it will enter a berserk mode. Once it loses a little more health, you will be able to finish it off with an Obliteration Technique. Once it dies, it will self-destruct, which must be blocked. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Zedonius [B12] Description: Winged black/red demon. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (In the air) Fireballs: He will throw four fireballs at you. They will guard break and deal damage if blocked. Fire Pillar: He will make a pillar of fire appear under you. Can not be blocked. Landing: He will land on you and release a small shockwave. Can not be blocked. It's best dodged with a well-timed Wind Run. Gaja Summon: He will summon Gajas to fight you. It can be interrupted by a Scythe Ultimate Technique. (On the ground) Punches: He will punch you four times. The second and fourth punches will guard break and the rest can be blocked. Kick Uppercut: He will kick you and then uppercut you. It will guard break if blocked. If any of his hits are on fire, they can not be blocked. Kick Uppercut Slam: He will kick you, uppercut you, and then slam you. It will guard break if blocked. If any of his hits are on fire, they can not be blocked. Fireballs: He will throw four fireballs at you. They will guard break and deal damage if blocked. Fire Pillar: He will make a pillar of fire appear under you. Can not be blocked. Gaja Summon: He will summon Gajas to fight you.

If he does, he will slam you down, punch you, hold you up to be punched four times, and then knock you away. (Chapter 12 form only, on the ground) Fire Beam: He will shoot a beam of fire and turn it toward you. Can not be blocked. The closer you are to him, the easier it is to dodge it. Fire Wave: He will launch a wave of fire in a straight line. Can not be blocked. You can Wind Path right through it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- While in the air, it is not advisable to attack him. Focus on dodging his attacks, especially his landing attack. After that attack is the best time to hit him, especially with the Scythe's YYYY combo. When he's on the ground, stay in medium range so you can dodge all his attacks and hit him between moves. Aerial attacks are also effective here, as they can allow you to dodge his punches. It is possible to stun him with a Flying Swallow, although the timing is much more difficult. The easiest time to land it is when he's either preparing an attack or just as his fire beam attack ends. The easiest way to stun him is to wait for him to use the fire beam attack, dodge it in a circle around him at close range, and then Wind Path into a Flying Swallow just as he's about to end the attack. He will always remain stunned long enough to prepare the Flails. If he has minions with him, take those out first. Going all out on Zedonius is not recommended. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Tunnel Worm [B13] Description: It's a giant worm. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tongue Smack: It will smack you with its tongue one or two times. It will guard break if blocked. Acid Spit: It will spit acid at you. It will guard break and deal damage if blocked. Charge: It will move really quickly through the tunnel. If you are in its way, you'll be hit and knocked back along with it. It will guard break if blocked. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will drag you across the tunnel wall and then toss you back. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The easiest way to beat it is to use Scythe Ultimate Techniques from the side rooms. Make sure to step out of the room and quickly go back in after it moves away to ensure that it comes back. To fight it up close, use a well-timed Ultimate Technique to stop it in its tracks, get a combo or two in, and quickly go into a side room before it grabs you. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Quetzalcoatl [B14] Description: Giant yellow bird. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fireballs: It will shoot three fireballs at you. Can not be blocked. Giant Fireball: It will shoot a giant fireball that will explode once it hits the ground. Can not be blocked. Laser: It will sweep a laser across the ground. Can not be blocked. Fire Breath: It will breath fire down twice, killing you instantly. Summon Dragons: It will summon Dragons to fight you. -------------------------------------------------------------------- You'll need to use ranged attacks for this fight, since it will always remain at a distance. If you have the Void ninpo available, it will do massive damage if you hit it while it's preparing an attack. If there are minions, you'll likely want to take them out first so they don't get in the way of charging your arrows. There will be an arrow corpse nearby. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Elizebet [B15] Description: Red human-like female with wings and a tail. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (In the air) Air Tail Stab: She will stab you with her tail two or three times. It will guard break if blocked. Kick Slam: She will slam her foot down. It will guard break if blocked. Air Dash: She will dash at you. It will guard break and do damage if blocked. Blood Drain: She will make blood orbs appear that will shoot blood spears at you. Can not be blocked. If they hit, they will heal her in addition to hurting you. Teleport Grab: She will make one to three red circles appear. If you are trapped in one, she will stab you with her tail, stab you many times, slam you down, and kick dash you away. (On the ground) Claw Combo: She will strike you four times with her claws. The last two hits will guard break and the rest can be blocked. Tail Stab: She will stab you with her tail two or three times. It will guard break if blocked. Dash: She will dash at you. It will guard break if blocked. Kick Dash: She will dash at you with her foot. It will guard break if blocked. Tail Grab: She will try to grab you with her tail. If she does, she will use it to toss you away. Claw Grab: She will strike you three times with her claws. If the last hit connects, she will transition into the Tail Grab. The last hit will guard break and the rest can be blocked. Stab Grab: She will stab you three and then stab you with her tail. If her tail stab connects, she will transition into the Tail Grab. The first hit can be blocked and the rest will guard break. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Elizebet's quick attacks and frequent dashing make her a very strong boss that will put your dodging to the test. On top of that, her teleport throw and blood draining attacks will punish you for keeping her at a distance. Once again, Scythe aerial combos will work, although her speed will require you to be careful of when you use them. If you time them wrong, she will most likely knock you out of the air. The best part about using them is that the hits will still land if she tries to dash around you. Elizebet, too, can be stunned. Hit her with a Flying Swallow as she is using her blood drain attack and she will fall down. she will always remain stunned long enough to prepare the Flails. The biggest problem with this method is that she will often block or dodge your Flying Swallow, leaving you dangerously vulnerable to her blood drain attack. If she has minions, consider taking the more dangerous ones out before fighting her. Trying to take all of them out may not be such a great idea, since she is aggressive. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Dagra Dai [B16] Description: Human-like with tentacles and two swords. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (In the air) Summon Van Gelfs: He will make three Purple Van Gelfs appear. Lightning: He will make bolts of lightning strike the ground underneath you. Can not be blocked, but can be avoided by remaining in the air. Pillars: He will make six purple energy pillars appear underneath you and then fire a big white laser at you. Can not be blocked. The laser will home in on your position, meaning you'll want to trick him by moving around directly underneath him. (On the ground) Tentacle Stab: He will stab you with two tentacles. They will guard break. Tentacle Spin: He will spin his tentacles around. Can not be blocked. It can be avoided by being above his tentacles. Triple Slash: He will slash you three times. The first hit can be blocked and the other two will guard break. Sword Stab: He will try to stab you with his sword. If he does, he will slash you, stab you with his tentacles, and then use his sword to toss you away. Lightning: He will make bolts of lightning strike the ground underneath you. Can not be blocked, but can be avoided by remaining in the air. Lightning Slashes: He will slash you twice and then use his lightning move. The first slash can be blocked and the other will guard break. -------------------------------------------------------------------- When he is in the air, he can be hit by the Scythe's aerial XXY combo. You can use this to hit him at any time as long as he's not using the Pillar move. Once he is on the ground, you'll want to wait until he finishes an attack to hit him. He will often teleport away before you can finish a combo, although aerial attacks seem less likely to cause that to happen. The best time to do damage to him is when he is "floating" around on his tentacles. Use that opportunity to get in a few powerful Scythe XXY aerial combos. His Purple Van Gelf summon can be easily dealt with by using an Inferno ninpo on all of them, although leaving them alive until he drops down may be a better idea. If they're alive, he tends to do so more often. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Archfiend Incomplete Form [B17] Description: Giant gray/brown creature that looks like a bug with a dangling eyeball. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fist Slam: It will slam its fist down. It will guard break if blocked. Double Slam: It will slam its fist down twice. It will guard break if blocked. Blue Skulls: It will send blue skulls at you. They will guard break if blocked. Mouth Laser: It will fire a laser from its mouth. Can not be blocked. Blood Spit: It will spit up blood at you. It will guard break if blocked. It will also use this attack every time you hurt it. Tail Smack: It will use its tail to smack away the obstacle that will let you climb up to the next phase, but it will hit you if you're too close. It will guard break if blocked. (Phase 2 and onward) Arm Sweep: It will sweep its arm across the ground. It will guard break if blocked. (Phase 3 and onward) Horizontal Laser: It will sweep its chest laser across the ground. Can not be blocked. Vertical Laser: It will sweep its chest laser upward. Can not be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Charged arrows are the method for killing it. Let the auto-aim handle the aiming, as it will always aim for the closest available target. Once you hit the face, the core will light up, allowing you to hit it for more damage. The core will deactivate once it attacks you and will reactivate once you hit the face again. After you hit it, jump out of the way of the blood spit and do an On-Landing charge with the Bow to hit it again before it can attack you. Once you deal enough damage to it, it will climb up and you will have to follow it. Make sure that you climb up quickly or else it will begin to attack you early. The number of phases the fight is broken into depends on the difficulty; 3 for Acolyte and Warrior, 4 for Mentor, and 5 for Master Ninja. There will be an arrow corpse in each of the phase arenas. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== Enemy: Archfiend True Form [B18] Description: Giant red demon with wings. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (On the cliff) Fist Slams: It will slam the ground up to four times. Can not be blocked. Laser: It will sweep a laser at you. Can not be blocked. You can dash toward it as it sweeps by. Grab: It will try to grab you. If it does, it will slam you down and toss you away. It will also immediately go on the ground. (In the air) Fireballs: It will launch fireballs at you. Can not be blocked. Shock: It will shock the ground. Can not be blocked. Dash: It will dash across the area. Can not be blocked. (On the ground) Collision: It will damage you if you touch it. Can not be blocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- While it's on the cliff, use Scythe aerial XYY combos as it prepares an attack. It will usually try to grab you, which you'll dodge. If it goes to slam, use another XYY aerial after the second slam to dodge any more it uses. If it goes to use its laser, you can use a Void ninpo to dodge it and do damage. When it's in the air, you can't hurt it. Dodge it's attacks until it switches positions. When it's on the ground, use Scythe aerial XXY combos on it. Don't worry about collision damage, it's very minor. Once its health is low, you can finish it off with an Obliteration Technique. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XX.
