NOTE: I've added a Search Engine into all my FAQs now. To use this, if
there's something you wish to find instantly in my FAQ, in the above
table, on the left is the name of a section or sub-section. To the right
is a weird code, like GOK5.1. Basically, if you wish to go to the section
where I tell you about Goku under The Playable Characters Of The Story, on
your Keyboard, hold Ctrl and then hit F and a window will open. Type in
GOK5.1 and hit Find Next. It'll bring you to that section instantly. The
code to reach the Table Of Contents is just that: Table Of Contents. I
hope this makes browsing my FAQs easier for you. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to another one of Kain Stryder's Walkthroughs. This
time, I'm handling Tenchu: Fatal Shadows for IGN. I'll be covering
everything this game has to offer, from the Tutorials right down to the
final boss strategy. I've not played most of the other titles in the
series, but I enjoyed Tenchu: Stealth Assassins a great deal, so I do know
part of the story, history of the characters, etc. Anyway, before I
continue, let me just say the following:
I wrote this for the public to access for free and to get help in a game,
not for some petty thief to rip and steal my work to make a extra buck. So
please, use my walkthrough as a source and handbook and don't edit it in
any way, shape or form to add or claim as your own. Anyway, with that
said, let's get onto the walkthrough and I hope you have a blast with
Tenchu: Fatal Shadows!
Update: This Walkthrough is now available at GameFAQs, Neoseeker and any
other sites I've allowed via E-Mail to host this file. If I did not give
you permission to host this FAQ on your site, then you're hosting it
illegally and if you're reading this on a site with any variatin of
"cheat" in its name, please notify me so I may take the necessary action.
Thanks.

5/14/07 - Just writing in to let any readers know if they E-Mail me any
questions or comments, that my address still works. My willpower to write
walkthroughs over the last few years died, mostly to college and real
life, but I may just start this up again. Feel free to write in, thanks.
3/21/05 - Finished The Walkthrough completely, making this guide done. I
marked it as the Final version, as there's not much else to update here.
However, if any reader submits information or anything I missed, I will
add it in and note it. Otherwise, I won't really update much. With that
said, I hope this walkthrough helps you and enjoy Tenchu: Fatal Shadows!
3/19/05 - First version of this Walkthrough is up. I have the complete
version on my harddrive, however I'm running through it and making sure it
has no errors and I've gotten everything. For the moment, what you see
here is "complete". The full Walkthrough and Section IV: How To Play will
be up within the next few days.

= III. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions.) . . . . . . . . . . . . [ FAQ3 ] =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Q. Most of the descriptions and ways you go about in your walkthrough on
how to kill enemies doesn't match mine! I have a better way to take them
out!
A. That's awesome, if you found a better way to kill enemies than what I
listed in my guide, cool, but keep it to yourself. What I write in my
guide has worked for me quite well, so please don't send in ways for me to
write on how to get a kill better or anything. What I write will get you
the stealth kill and Grand Master rank in every level, don't worry.
Q. How come you don't write for the different layouts in levels?
A. I view them as a "extra challenge", quite honestly. All they are is
the same level, but the enemies are changed around JUST a little bit, not
really much to warrent an entire different playthrough for it. I'll write
the levels that get you through the game, the other 2 layouts are just for
fun and are NOT part of the story's gameplay, just there for some extra
fun.
Q. Sometimes when I kill a enemy I see a negative flash on my screen...
what is that?
A. Whenever you set up a stealth skill, right as Ayame or Rin kill the
enemy, hit the Square Button and if your timing is right, BAM! special
stealth kill and it nets you 1 extra Scroll for the death. So if a normal
death gets you 1 Scroll, that will get you 2 Scrolls.
Q. Is it possible for enemies to stealth kill you?
A. Yes, it's happened to me a few times and I hated it. Basically this
only happens if you poorly time a jump and land in front of an enemy with
your back to them. At that point they can do a stealth kill which will
kill you. Sucks, huh?
Q. If I get a Grand Master or Assassin on one level, but go back and get a
worse rating, does that rating overwrite the current one?
A. No, unless the Rank is a better one over the current one, it won't over
write it, so feel free to do whatever in order to get scrolls for Skills
in whatever Stage you're playing in.

Ayame is one of the main characters of the story, and a leading character
in past Tenchu games. Basically, this game takes place directly after
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins and Ayame is continuing her work and exploring
the land, until she came to a destroyed village. Upon investigation, she
met Rin and the story began. Ayame uses two small Katana weapons and is
a very quick fighter, having been accepted into the Azuma Clan at the age
of 14 and being looked at as extraordinary. She still is seeking Rikimaru,

Note: ALL the Stages in the Walkthrough are written under "Two Daggers" or
Normal Difficulty. Also, I won't mention to pick up items off fallen
enemies, that'll be your task. However, I will point out items to pick up
around the stages. If I miss something, feel free to toss it my way so I
can add it to the guide and give you proper credit. Thanks!
Another Note: During a Stealth Kill, if you need to get out of it fast
because you're afraid of being detected by another Guard, immediately hit
the Circle Button to cancel the movie scene and appear back in control
with the enemy dead.
Yet Anoterh Note: ALWAYS bring Blow Guns with you in every Stage, as they
are possibly the best weapon you can have to Stealth Kill an enemy from
afar.
Finally, when I give a direction, as in if I were to say "look east of
where you are for a item", refer to your map so you know what direction I
mean.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A. The Beginning . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ BEGI6.1 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is taken from the manual:
In a time of feudal wars, Rikimaru and Ayame, two Ninjas of the Azuma
Clan, served Lord Gohda by returning his precious daughter, Kiku, from the
hands of Lord Mei-Oh. Unfortunately, Rikimaru was caught in a disastrous
rock fall during his escape and is still missing. The land of Lord Gohda
remained peaceful after Mei-Oh's attack and Ayame, as agent of Gohda,
continued to patrol the expansive territory. One day in her travels,
Ayame came across a decimated village. She hoped to find survivors, but
arrived too late. The Ninjas of Hagakure died whispering the word "Kuroya"
with their final breaths. As Ayame was about to leave, a young female
Ninja arrived and stood in her way. Her name was Rin, back from her
training and devastated to see her village in ruins. Squaring off with one
another, the fate of the two Ninjas became inextricably intertwined.
And the story begins...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- B. Chapter 1 - Daughter Of The Hagakure . . . . . . . . . . [ DOTH6.2 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Ayame.
Item Rewarded For Grand Master - Sticky Bomb.
Items In The Stage - Grenade x1, Health Potion x2, Rice Ball x1 and Smoke
Bomb x1.
Strategy - Pretty much the trial level, you just get used to everything
really. Enemies aren't too hard and it's pretty much a breeze by level if
you know what you're doing.
Once you begin the level, immediately run out and get behind the Female
Guard you come across and Stealth Kill her. Next, head west and climb the
stairs at the end to find a Health Potion and Rice Ball. (Note: Do NOT
step in the water, the nearby Ninja Guard will hear it.) After this, jump
across the water to the southwest and climb up the wall and stay here,
crouching down. You'll see a Ninja Guard below you patroling about. Wait
for a good moment and Stealth Kill him. After this, make your way east
while on top of the wall and you'll come to a archway, with a Ninja Guard
and Female Guard nearby.
Jump off and land on the ledge above them, while crouching. They shouldn't
detect you if you hold R1 when you jump and land, so stay down. After
their conversation, when they turn around, leap down inbetween them and
attack immediately to score a double kill. Next up, head north and to the
northwest of the wooden fort is a little area with a Smoke Bomb, which you
should pick up. Once you obtain this, Grapple upwards and make your way
north, but as you go downwards to the next area, flatten against the left
side of the wall, so the fence like structure is ahead of you. Peek around
the corner to see a Female Guard. If she's not there, wait it out. When she
appears and walks behind the fence structure, give her a few seconds, then
run out and kill her.
Once you do this, leave her body where it is and run behind the fence and
wait, as a Ninja Guard is nearby. He'll find the body and become alert,
but not find you. When he gives up, rush out and Stealth Kill him as well.
After this, search the area for a Health Potion, then head east through
the door into the next area. In the next area, immediately crouch down and
shimmy to the far left of the plank you're on. Watch the two Ninja Guards
below and when the one walking around gets near the other Ninja Guard,
leap off, run inbetween them and attack for a double kill. Next, continue
east down the path and at the end of the logs, crouch down and watch the
Female Guard nearby.
When she turns towards the river, run up and Stealth Kill her, then drag
her body behind the fence. Next up, to the northwest there's a Katana
Guard walking around. Try and stay sorta near the fence, but stand in
clear sight of him and you should get a !. When this happens, run back
behind the logs and watch him. When he gives up searching, rush out and
Stealth Kill him. Next, head west from the fence with the dead Female
Guard and you'll see a opening in the fence here. Hang yourself from it
and observe the Samurai Guard here. When you feel ready, jump up and
Stealth Kill him.
Next up, go to the far west of this area and grapple upwards to the
opening and stay there, watching the Female Guard. When you're ready, leap
up and Stealth Kill her. NOW, you have a choice to make. If you run to
the middle of where the hut is, you'll trigger the Boss Battle and
continue onto Chapter 2.1 - Depatures. However, if you kill the last enemy
in this Stage, you'll instead go onto Chapter 2.2 - Determination. There's
little difference in any of the choices throughout the game, just you play
a different version of the level with different motives is all and you CAN
come back and get the other Stage unlocked AT ANY TIME, which is cool.
Anyway, if you're going onto 2.1, go to the hut now, otherwise to the east
is a Ninja Guard standing around. Wait for the right moment and then kill
him. When he's dead, to the far northeast part of the map, there's a
Grenade in the corner here if you wish to get it. (Follow the river if you
wanna find it.) With that, walk into the heart of the village for a
cutscene and then the Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Rin -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - She's pretty easy. Just use the R2 Button and lock onto her and
side step any of her attacks and counter when you can. She likes to do a
thrusting move with her Katana, a jump in the air where she tries to hit
you and a typical punch combo. Really not that hard, just wait till she
attacks and run in and slash at her, as she'll be open. Repeat until she
hits about 25 Hit Points and the fight will end. Enjoy the cutscene and
then head onto the next Chapter, depending on what your actions in this
level were.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- C. Chapter 2.1 - Depatures . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ DEPA6.3 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Rin.
Item Rewarded For Assassin - Sticky Bomb.
Items In The Stage - Flash Bomb x2, Health Potion x1 and Rice Ball x1.
Strategy - Same as the first level was for Ayame, this is sort of a trial
level, but not really. Get use to Rin's movement and combat, as she's very
different compared to Ayame.
Note: There are two enemies here along with a box that holds 2 Flash Bombs
at the start of the stage that sort of backtrack into where Ayame's Stage
just ended. If you want to kill them, go ahead, they're pretty easy to
take out, but they are NOT NEEDED TO GET ASSASSIN RANK. If you want to
fight, go for it, otherwise, ignore this and move on.
Other Note: To play this Stage, you must have left at least 1 enemy alive
in Chapter 1 as Ayame, otherwise you will play Chapter 2.2 - Determination
instead.
After the cutscene, hide along the wall nearby and you'll see a Female
Guard come by. Wait for your chance and then kill her, then move on.
Around the corner is another Female Guard, wait for her to semi turn
around and then kill her, then grab the Health Potion nearby. Dive into
the water now and head to the other side quickly and near the edge, leap
up and hang on the ledge and you'll see a Katana Guard come near you, but
he won't find you. When he turns his back, climb up and kill him. Next,
look down below you to the new area and observe the Claw Guard and the
Masked Guard. When you see a chance, run down and kill one and then
quickly retreat and wait to kill the other. When this is done, search the
area for a box that holds a Rice Ball.
When this is done, follow the path around and you'll find a small crawl
space to go through. Go ahead and enter it and in the next area, hug the
wall ahead of you and at the end, watch for the Katana Guard here. When he
turns his back, kill him and continue on. When you arrive at a swort of
fence wall, peak around the side and watch the Female Guard here and when
her back is turned, run up and kill her. Next up, run to the end of the
path and before you reach the wooded area, you'll see a Katana Guard
walking around. Stay far enough out of his line of sight and use a Blow
Gun if you have it, otherwise, when you see a chance, run in and kill him.
(Note: You can run through the wooded area, you don't need to run around
the path, making this a rather easy kill.)
Next up, head northwest and you'll see a bridge. Stay away from it and
wait for the Masked Guard to walk up onto the bridge and if you have a
Blow Gun, use it or wait until he turns around and rush and kill him,
then back off. Only one enemy remains now, a Female Guard to the east
of you. After you kill the Masked Guard, if the Female Guard isn't near
you, run across the bridge and hide behind the small religous candle
shrine and wait for her to turn her back to you. When she does, kill her
and head east to complete this Stage, as you see a cutscene and head into
Chapter 3.1 - Secret Encounters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- D. Chapter 2.2 - Determination . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ DETER6.4 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Rin.
Item Rewarded For Assassin - Sticky Bomb.
Items In The Stage - Flash Bomb x2, Grenade x1 and Health Potion x1.
Strategy - Same as the first level was for Ayame, this is sort of a trial
level, but not really. Get use to Rin's movement and combat, as she's very
different compared to Ayame.
Note: In order to play this Stage, you must have killed every enemy as
Ayame in Chapter 1. Otherwise, you will play Chapter 2.1 instead.
Other Note: You have 10 candles at the top of your screen. Each represents
an enemy and you must kill all 10 enemies in this Stage to win. As you
kill each one, a candle will disappear.
After the cutscene, hide along the wall nearby and you'll see a Katana
Guard come by. Wait for your chance and then kill him, then drop down to
the area where you fought Rin as Ayame to find a box with 2 Flash Bombs.
Once you get this, follow the path where you killed the Katana Ninja and
dive into the water and head to the other side quickly. At the edge, leap
up and hang on the ledge and you'll see a Katana Guard come near you, but
he won't find you. When he turns his back, climb up and kill him. Next,
look down below you to the new area and observe the Claw Guard and the
Female Guard. When you see a chance, run down and kill one and then
quickly retreat and wait to kill the other.
When this is done, follow the path around and you'll find a small crawl
space to go through. Go ahead and enter it and in the next area, hug the
wall ahead of you and at the end, watch for the Katana Guard here. When he
turns his back, kill him and continue on. When you arrive at a swort of
fence wall, peak around the side and watch the Female Guard here and when
her back is turned, run up and kill her and move her body back behind the
fence from which you came, as there's a Masked Guard who is coming. If
you don't do this, you run the risk of getting caught, as he'll be in
alert mode. When this is done, move up and watch for the Masked Guard to
come by and stay far enough away. When you see him approaching, move back
and watch his movement. When he turns around, rush and kill him.
Once this is done, grab the box near the candle stand to get a Health
Potion, then run to the end of the path and before you reach the wooded
area, you'll see a Katana Guard walking around. Stay far enough out of his
line of sight and use a Blow Gun if you have it, otherwise, when you see a
chance, run in and kill him. (Note: You can run through the wooded area,
you don't need to run around the path, making this a rather easy kill.)
Once he's dead, look around the area to the east and behind some wooden
objects you'll find a box with a Grenade inside.
Next up, you may want to drag the Katana Guard's Body away if he's near
the bridge, otherwise leave him or let the Masked Guard find him, wait
until he's out of !? and then run and kill him. If not, wait by the bridge
and wait for the Masked Guard to walk nearby and use a Blow Gun if you
have it or wait until he turns around and rush and kill him, then back off
VERY fast. Only one enemy remains now, a Female Guard to the east of you.
After you kill the Masked Guard, if the Female Guard isn't looking in your
direction, watch her movement down below the other side of the bridge and
cross the bridge when you feel it's safe. Once on the other side, look
down below at her and when you see a chance, drop down and kill her,
extinguishing the final candle. After this, you'll see a cutscene, as you
head into Chapter 3.2 - The Geisha And The Hired Blade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- E. Chapter 3.1 - Secret Encounters . . . . . . . . . . . . [ SECEN6.5 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Ayame.
Item Rewarded For Grand Master - Chameleon Spell.
Items In The Stage - Smoke Bomb x3.
Strategy - Basically, Part 1 of this stage is a normal "Stealth Kill your
enemies, don't die, blah, blah, blah" scenario, however Part 2 is more of
a "Don't get caught or you lose" thing. You can take it easy in Part 1,
but once you have to follow Jyuzou, be VERY careful how you do it,
otherwise you can immediately lose and will have to start all over.
After the cutscene, grapple up to the house to your right and make your
way across the roof here. To the right and below you is a Archer Guard.
Nail him with a Blow Gun and a Spear Guard will notice this and run to
check him. After he's calmed down, leap down and kill him as well. Next,
from where you killed the Spear Guard, head north and at the end of the
path to your left is a small hut house. Get onto the roof and below you to
the west is another Archer Guard. Kill him and then get back onto the roof
and wait, as there's a Masked Guard patrolling that'll find his dead
friend. Once he finds him and has calmed down, kill him and then jump back
up top onto the roof.
To the west, you should see a Archer Guard standing still, idly looking
about. Use a Blow Gun on him to kill him, regardless if you get a ! from
him. After this, head to where he was and get onto the roof of the house
he was by. Below you to the south are two Guards, possibly talking or not,
depends if you got close enough to "start" their conversation, otherwise
they're already patrolling. Just stick to the roofs if they're not there
and kill them when you see a right moment, otherwise if they are there,
wait for your chance to drop and take them both out. Once you've done
this, you've acquired enough points for Grand Master Rank and don't need
to kill any more Guards. When you're ready, head through the gate door to
the north of you.
After the cutscene, you'll need to follow Jyuzou, which basically, no, you
can't kill him, I tried that and...got a game over, so, heh, can't do that
I'm afraid. Anyway, you need to keep a safe distance from him, but you
can't let him get TOO far from you, otherwise you'll "lose sight" of him
and lose. When you're ready, go down the left side of the path to find a
box with 3 Smoke Bombs inside, then continue on. When Jyuzou reaches the
archway, duck out of sight and when he moves on, head through the archway
and climb up the wall to the right of you and leap onto the building just
ahead of you and duck down, following Jyuzou. There ARE Guards here as
well, so be careful not to alert them as Jyuzou makes his rounds.
Basically from here out, follow him and just crouch low and don't get
sighted, it's not too hard of a task. When Jyuzou reaches the gate and
enters, you're free to leap down and run inside as well. If you wish to
kill the Guards here for fun, there's three of them around the area, none
are hard to find or kill for that matter. Anyway when you enter the gate,
a cutscene happens and you enter a Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Tatsukichi -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - As Ayame said, "Are you serious?" She's pretty weak, a few
slashes will take her down. Alternatively, if you wanna see the next
cutscene after you kill her in a different way, as the battle begins, run
up and while holding the Left Analog Stick toward her, get close and hit
the Circle Button and instead of a throw, Ayame will knock her in the neck
and she'll fall over.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- F. Chapter 3.2 - The Geisha And The Hired Blade . . . . . . [ TGAT6.6 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Ayame.
Item Rewarded For Grand Master - Chameleon Spell.
Items In The Stage - Blow Gun x1, Health Potion x1 and Rice Ball x1.
Strategy - You just need to go about and kill Guards without getting
detected, really. Your basic stealth/kill stage, nothing really too hard
about it, but things will get challenging from here out, so keep your
Guard up.
After the cutscene, grapple up to the house on your left and to the west
of the roof you're on, below you is a Masked Guard. However, look around
him, as there's generally another Guard patrolling that goes up some
stairs near him. When this Guard isn't around, jump down, kill him and
leap back onto your roof and wait for the other Guard to return and find
him. Once he's calmed down, go ahead and kill him, then get back onto the
roof and head east over to the next roof and below you to the east is a
Spear Guard. Wait for your chance and jump down and kill him as well. Next
up, get back onto the roof you were just on and head north, you'll see a
Archer Guard below you. Jump down and kill him when you see a chance, then
get onto the small hut house to the right of the bridge the Archer Guard
was patrolling.
To the west should be a Archer Guard. Go ahead and Blow Gun him dead,
then run west and climb up to where he was and get onto the house near
where he was and in the area is another Guard. Locate him and kill him, as
he's usually walking around to the south. Once this is done, go ahead and
go north to find the gate and to the right is a Health Potion, grab that
and then enter the said gate. Once inside, there's a Innocent Person
walking around, so head to the left side and make your way north carefully
and at the end near the archway is a box with a Rice Ball inside. After
you get this, through the archway there's a Guard patrolling. I suggest
you get ontop of the wall next to the archway and crouch down and wait for
a chance, then kill him.
Next, jump up onto the wall to the east of you and nearby there's two
Geishas here, so be careful. I've actually screwed this part up once and
dropped down in front of one once and THEY Stealth Killed me...so that was
bad. After you take out the two Geisha's here, head southwest and near the
small wall here, climb up and you should see an Archer Guard patrolling
about. However, there's another Claw Guard walking around nearby, so you
need to be careful how you execute this. When the Claw Guard is out of
sight, jump down and kill the Archer Guard and depending where he died,
you may or may not have to move his body away or you can just leave him
and let the Claw Guard find him for a easier Stealth Kill, but remain
hidden.
Now, once the Claw Guard is dead, head west and on the dock is a box with
a Blow Gun inside. Once you get this, head up the building to the north of
you, first by getting on the fence, then the roof and watch the Katana
Guard below you and when you see a chance, drop and kill him. Finally, get
back onto the house and to the north of you is the gate, but there's a
Spear Guard patrolling. Again, when you see a oppertunity, leap down,
Stealth Kill him and enter the door to begin a Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Tatsukichi -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - As Ayame said, "Are you serious?" She's pretty weak, a few
slashes will take her down. Alternatively, if you wanna see the next
cutscene after you kill her in a different way, as the battle begins, run
up and while holding the Left Analog Stick toward her, get close and hit
the Circle Button and instead of a throw, Ayame will knock her in the neck
and she'll fall over.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- G. Chapter 4 - I Am Rin Of The Beniya . . . . . . . . . . . [ IAMRI6.7 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Rin.
Item Rewarded For Assassin - Chameleon Spell.
Items In The Stage - Blow Gun x1, Flash Bomb x1, Health Potion x2 and Rice
Ball x2.
Strategy - I suggest you bring a couple Shuriken and all the Blow Guns you
have, which should be a few, as this stage can get tricky at times. It's
mainly cause until you reach past the natural stone walls and into the
wooden ones, there's really no solid hiding places or good areas to lean
up against for Stealth Kills, as well as the VERY annoying water on
pathways that if you step on it. Basically, it sends anyone nearby into
!? mode, which is a pain in the ass. Be careful and just crouch and walk
or roll across water to avoid making noise.
After the cutscene, head north and jump over the hole infront of you and
you'll come to an outdoor area. Ahead of you is a Dog patrolling about.
Depending on your luck, you may need 1 or 2 Shurikens to kill it, so go
ahead and nail him with them. After this, continue north through a cave
and grab the box here to get a Flash Bomb, then continue on till you come
to the end where you'll see 1 or 2 Spear Guards here. Now, make sure
you're leaning against the rock wall here, pearing over your character's
right shoulder at the 1 stationary Guard and the 1 patrolling Guard.
When the patrolling Guard comes near the stationary one and BOTH have
their backs to you, run up inbetween them and attack to perform a Double
Stealth Kill.
Once you do this, to the south is a wooden structure, which if you use
the Grappling Hook and get to the top, there's a Health Potion here. Once
you get it, drop down and head east from where the dead Guards are into a
cave. Inside, hug the left wall and at the end, stop and peer over and
wait for a Katana Guard to walk over. Stay where you are and when he turns
around, go ahead and Stealth Kill him. Next, RUSH north and turn left to
see a Masked Guard walking away from you. Be quick and Stealth Kill him,
then go back to where you killed the Katana Guard and go through the
doorway here and up the path, but crouch down and inch your way up. You'll
see an Archer Guard standing still, rotating his direction. When he's
looking away from you, (He'll be sideways, but still won't see you.) run,
jump over the pit in front of you and Stealth Kill him.
Next up, crouch and to the west there's another Katana Guard patrolling.
Wait till he turns, jump over the pit and kill him. Now, backtrack out
of here and back where you killed the first Guard in this cave, head
north, go west past the Guard you RUSHED and head through the doorway you
see here. BE CAREFUL here, do not enter the room, but hug up against the
open bar door and peer around to see where the Archer Guard is. If he's
not overlooking the perch, enter the room, jump and hang from the ledge
and wait for him to come to you. When he does and turns around, climb up
and kill him, follow the path and jump down OVER the pit below to get two
Rice Balls out of the box here.
After this, backtrack out of the room and head north through the pathway
here and you'll come to a path leading upwards, along with two doors, one
to your left and one to your right. There should be a Masked Guard
patrolling the path leading up. When he comes into view, Blow Gun him dead
and then duck into the room to the west and hide and wait for a Katana
Guard from the room to the east to walk out and down the hall. (Hopefully
you killed the Masked Guard far enough for him not to see, otherwise
you'll need to wait for him to go unalerted to Stealth Kill him.) When you
see a chance, run out and kill him, then head into the door to the east
and lean up against the left side of the wall inside the doorway and watch
for a Katana Guard to come by. When he stops and turns around, run and
Stealth Kill and then exit the room and head north up the path here and
straight ahead on a bridge you'll see a Katana Guard.
Wait until his back is to you, then run and Stealth Kill him. Next, up
ahead should be a Archer Guard. Wait for him to appear and Blow Gun him
dead, then run across the bridge and to your right is a box with a Blow
Gun inside. Get this, then head downwards and follow the path down to
appear below the bridge you just crossed. Across from you should be a
Archer Guard. Blow Gun him dead, then backtrack and head to your left to
find a river that'll warp you to another area of the stage. Now, in this
area, you'll notice running water on the pathway. If you step on this
without crouching or rolling, you'll make a noise that'll !? nearby
Guards. When you enter this area, press up against the wall to your right
and watch the Katana Guard here.
Toss another Blow Gun at him and when the nearby Masked Guard finds him
and becomes calm again, run up carefully and avoid the water and make your
kill. Once he's dead head down the long hallway where you'll find that
dead Archer Guard you killed a few minutes ago and grab the Health Potion
you find. Next, follow the path all the way around and you'll enter a
room, as you clear the stage and see a cutscene.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- H. Chapter 5 - Fated Reunions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ FATRE6.8 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Ayame.
Item Rewarded For Grand Master - Invisible Spell.
Items In The Stage - Hand Claws x1, Health Potion x3 and Spinner x3.
Strategy - I suggest you bring a Grenade or two and all the Blow Guns you
have. The boss you fight at the start of the stage really isn't that
difficult and the Grenades are your insurance more than anything. Again,
be careful of the water here and do what you did with Rin on it. Other
than that, not too hard of a stage at all, as you're basically just back
tracking to the start of the stage.
After the cutscene, you're immediately thrown into a Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Kumagorou -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Ahhhh! Bear! Nah, he's pretty easy. Again, R2 Button lock onto
him and wait for him to charge at you and side step, then run in and go
nuts with combos. Also, when he stands on his hind legs and slashes, run
around to his back and combo him again. Very, very easy Boss.
After Kumagorou is defetated, head out of the room and in the hallway to
your left is a box that holds a Health Potion. Next, lean up against the
wall to your right and at the end, you'll see a Katana Guard patrolling.
Wait for your chance, then Stealth Kill him and continue on to find a
stationary Katana Guard ahead of you. Use a Blow Gun on him and then wait
for a Masked Guard nearby to find him. If you don't see him come to
inspect his friend's body, head down the path and hug the left wall and at
the end, watch his movements and when you're ready, roll across the water
so you don't make any sound and then when you're behind him, kill him.
Next, turn around and straight down the path ahead of you should be a
Katana Guard. Watch him and when he turns around, roll across the water
and rush him and kill him. After this, run down the hall where you just
killed the Katana Guard and at the end, hug the right wall and peek around
to watch for yet another Katana Guard here. Make your move when you see
fit and afterwards, back up and wait for a Female Guard to appear at the
otherside of the gap. Use a Blow Gun on her and then backtrack down the
path and take a right to enter the river and go to another part of the
Stage. In the next part, lean against the wall to the left and wait for
the two Guards to finish their conversation. When the Female Guard walks
away, Blow Gun the Katana Guard and then hide and after the Female Guard
finds him, go ahead and kill her once she's become calm again.
Next, near the Katana Guard is a box with Hand Claws inside, so take those
and then get onto the bridge to the west. Ahead of you will be a Katana
Guard. The SECOND he turns his back, rush in and kill him, then jump over
the gap to the west and look ahead of you and wait. A Masked Guard will
appear below you. When he turns to go into the room to the south, rush in
and kill him, and drag his body away from the door if it's near it, other
wise leave it and lean up against the left side of the door here leading
into the room. You'll see a Katana Guard walk by, stop and turn around.
When he does, kill him and take the Health Potion inside the box you find
here, then exit the room the way you came and head west down the pathway
and stop when you see a Guard and when he turns around, rush in, kill
him, cancel the animation scene and hide.
Another Guard nearby will notice this, but when he returns to normal,
watch him and then make your move. Once he's dead, head west now and
before entering the next corridor, watch for a Female Guard to appear and
then turn her back and walk away. When she walks away, be quick to kill
her before she turns around midway. Once she's dead, continue on and when
you reach the top of a slope, use a Blow Gun to kill a Katana Guard below
you, then crouch and move back a bit. When a Guard nearby finds him and
returns to normal, run down and kill him, then roll into the cave to your
right and grab the box here to obtain 3 Spinners. Continue inside the cave
and near the end, watch for a Claw Guard patrolling here. When he turns
around, kill him, cancel the animation scene and retreat backwards, as
another Guard will notice his dead companion.
When he returns to normal, take your time and finish him off, then simply
head south and jump across the gap and you'll complete the Stage. Now, if
you were sighted at least once in this Stage, you will go onto Chapter 6.1
- The Blind Masseuse. If you weren't sighted at all, you'll go onto
Chapter 6.2 - What Lurks In The Shadow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I. Chapter 6.1 - The Blind Masseuse . . . . . . . . . . . . [ THBLM6.9 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Rin.
Item Rewarded For Assassin - Invisible Spell.
Items In The Stage - Explosive Box x1, Health Potion x1, Map x1 and
Shuriken x5,
Strategy - Ok, you have a couple options here. First off, this Stage has
an optional final boss. Meaning, you can fight him or you can choose the
easy way and not fight him. Either has no true impact on the game, just a
different scene at the end of the Stage, mainly with the same end result.
Nasu is, a VERY good fighter and you fight in a VERY small room. This
Stage is a pain in the ass, so if you truly don't want to possibly die the
first time through, take the easy way. If not, if you wish to fight him,
take the hard way. Easy way - Don't bring more than 1 Grenade and 1 Bamboo
Gun. Hard way - Bring 2 of each and a Ninja Rebirth. Load up on Blow Guns
despite your decision, you will need them.
Note: In order to play this Stage you must not have been noticed at all in
Chapter 5. Also, at the start of the Stage, behind you are some paper
lanterns. You can leap up and pull yourself up to the top of them and fall
down into a hidden area in the river, which leads to a shortcut. This
brings you to the bridge where you fight the halfway Boss Battle. You CAN
do this and skip the first half of the walkthrough and procede to fight
Ayame, but otherwise, read on to play through the normal way. Note that in
this secret area, on the roof of the shed is a box with a Explosive Box.
After the cutscene, immediately run across the bridge and Stealth Kill the
Katana Guard ahead of you, cancel the animation and pick his body up and
drop it over to the right out of the path and lean up against the small
little wall here. Another Katana Guard will appear near the bridge and
stop to glance where the other Guard had been moments ago, then turn to
walk away. As he does, run out and kill him as well. Next, make sure above
where you were hiding, a Katana Guard isn't there and then climb up the
first ledge, then hang on the second and watch the Katana Guard. He'll
come right over to the ledge, but never notice you. Once he turns around,
jump up and kill him. Next, to your left is a small fence with a small
area, to which you can crouch and roll behind and not be seen.
Do so and continuiously roll to the end and to your right will be a Masked
Guard patrolling. Do not stand up until his back is to you, then leap out
and kill him. To the left of where you killed him is a box with a Health
Potion inside, so take that and then look below you. You should see a Claw
Guard, if not, wait and he'll walk up and remain still for a moment. When
he turns around to continue patrolling, leap down, kill him and then jump
onto the roof to your left and crouch. When the nearby Innocent isn't
looking, roll off the roof and head straight ahead right behind a small
fence and remain still, as there's a Katana Guard right by you. He'll
never see you, if you remain crouching, so just remain doing so. When you
see a chance, leap up, kill him and then crouch and roll to the door
straight ahead.
In this new area, do not get onto the roof ahead of you and crouch, as
I've found each time the Geisha has noticed me, somehow. What you want to
do is crouch and roll to your right behind the fence and watch the Geisha
and kill her when you see a chance. After this, procede to get onto the
roof that was ahead of you at the start of this area and wait for a
Claw Guard to appear on the road below. He may or may not notice the dead
Geisha, so depending what happens, kill him accordingly when you get a
chance. Once he's dead, drop down to the left of the roof and stay behind
the fence and crouch and roll to the end where a Katana Guard is
patrolling. When you get a chance, Stealth Kill him as well. Once this is
done, simple follow the path to find the bridge and walk onto it to start
a Boss Battle...
Note: If you took the shortcut at the very beginning, you'll appear to
the right of the bridge in the water. Even if you're sighted, just
immediately run to the bridge to start the Boss Battle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Ayame -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Urgh, she's a bitch. Not sure about you, but I hate using Rin
in close combat, she's just so...weak. Anyway, your best bet is to wait
until Ayame attacks and then avoid and attack yourself, but for an easy
win, shoot her with a Bamboo Gun, 2 Cannons or 2 Grenades.
After the cutscene and when you're back in control, use your Grappling
Hook and aim for the building's roof to the right of the door. You should
land on the middle ledge, so just leap up onto the roof after. Crouch and
below you, watch for a Katana Guard and when you can, fall and Stealth
Kill him and then get back onto the roof. Look around for a Geisha, as
she may or may not find the dead Katana Guard. Either way, when the
situation arises, kill her as well. Next, to north is another Katana Guard
patrolling near a rather big house, which marked on your map, is where
Nasu practices..."masseusing". Anyway, watch his movements and leap down
and kill him, then get back onto the roof and head the most northeastern
house here and look for another Geisha walking around.
Careful of the Innocent here and when you see a chance, drop, kill her,
then head into the courtyard area of Nasu's House. On the roof is a small
crawl space you can enter here. Do so and once inside, check to your
right for a box with 5 Shuriken here. Next, head to your left and drop
down the hole, and hug the wall and stay near the door. A Geisha will
come close and even walk through the door, however, step out infront of
her and in the moment of surprise, attack her to get a Stealth Kill,
cancel the animation and immediately run up the stairs, Grapple Hook back
up and wait. The Masked Guard will find the dead Geisha, so when he
returns to normal, rush down and rush into the room, as you should be
behind him now, so just Stealth Kill him.
Next, in the corner is a Health Potion, so grab it and then you need to
make a choice. Below the barrels in this room is a crawl space with a box
that holds a Map of Nasu's House. If you choose to get it, you will
unlock Chapter 7.2 - For Whom The Bell Tolls. If you don't get it, you
will instead unlock Chapter 7.1 - A Sister's Promise. Now, after you
decide, to your left is a doorway, with 3 Guards inside. First, try to
lure one Guard away by standing near the door and insight to get caught.
The Katana Guard should give you a ! sign and come to inspect what he saw.
Simply hide and when he arrives, gives up and turns around, rush and kill
him. Next, inside the doorway, look to your left to see another Katana
Guard. Use a Blow Gun on him, then look up to your left up the stairs.
There's a Claw Guard here, which you need to kill. Either get in close,
Blow Gun him or crouch up the stairs and kill him when a chance arises.
When this is done, you have another choice. Down below there are two
paths. If you choose the path all the way to the right, you'll go down
into a small basement, which a cutscene will take place and you will not
fight Nasu. If you wish to fight Nasu, take the path to the left and
you'll enter a Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Nasu -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Wow, for a blind guy, he's really, really damn good. This
little rapist is very skilled with a sword and if he nails you with it,
he'll do a series of combo attacks. Also, when he stands still slowly
putting his sword away, if you attack him immediately, he'll do a "Stealth
Kill" that can really hurt you, but will not kill you if you have enough
Hit Points. However, if you wait a few seconds after he starts and attack
him, he won't do it and it's a free shot for you to combo him. The room
you're in is very small, so avoiding him is hard altogether. I suggest you
just Bamboo Gun, Cannon or Grenade him for the win. Alternatively, if you
took the eastern most path hugging the right wall to him, instead of the
left wall, you won't fight him at all and instead see a different cutscene.
Regardless of what path you took, after the cutscene, you'll be in Nasu's
Room. Lean up against the white design on the door in his room to enter a
hidden area. Inside, don't move, as ahead is a Geisha. If you have a Blow
Gun left, move in close and hit her while she's in ! mode. Otherwise, wait
and rush in to kill her when she starts going down the stairs. After this,
head down the stairs and turn left to complete the Stage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- J. Chapter 6.2 - What Lurks In The Shadow . . . . . . . . [ WLITS6.10 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Rin.
Item Rewarded For Assassin - Invisible Spell.
Items In The Stage - Explosive Box x1 and Shuriken x5.
Strategy - Ok, you have a couple options here. First off, this Stage has
an optional final boss. Meaning, you can fight him or you can choose the
easy way and not fight him. Either has no true impact on the game, just a
different scene at the end of the Stage, mainly with the same end result.
Nasu is, a VERY good fighter and you fight in a VERY small room. This
Stage is a pain in the ass, so if you truly don't want to possibly die the
first time through, take the easy way. If not, if you wish to fight him,
take the hard way. Easy way - Don't bring more than 1 Grenade and 1 Bamboo
Gun. Hard way - Bring 2 of each and a Ninja Rebirth. Load up on Blow Guns
despite your decision, you will need them.
Note: In order to play this Stage you must have have been noticed at least
once Chapter 5. Also, at the start of the Stage, behind you are some paper
lanterns. You can leap up and pull yourself up to the top of them and fall
down into a hidden area in the river, which leads to a shortcut. This
brings you to the bridge where you fight the halfway Boss Battle. You CAN
do this and skip the first half of the walkthrough and procede to fight
Ayame, but otherwise, read on to play through the normal way. Note that in
this secret area, on the roof of the shed is a box with a Explosive Box.
After the cutscene, immediately fall into the pit near the bridge, then
Grapple Hook up onto the side of the bridge and hang there. Wait for the
Geisha to come by and when she turns around, climb up and kill her. Next,
head north and climb up the two ledges and once up top, to your left is a
small fenced area. Crouch and roll behind this to the end and watch the
Geisha you see here. When her back's turned, leap out, kill her and then
pick her body up and drop it near the ledge at the back of the dead end
below. (Just stand near the edge and let go of her body, when she drops,
she'll simply fall below.) Next, head south to the ledge where you first
climbed up and to your left, is a slope leading down. Stand at the top to
get a ! sign and when you do, immediately duck behind the fence behind you
and roll all the way to where you hid to kill the Geisha.
Now, this MIGHT just have been my game, I'm not sure, but there's a glitch
where the Katana Guard will get stuck when he comes up to investigate and
he just turns in circles over and over. If this happens, stand up QUICK
and then duck back down. Keep doing this until you get a ! and then roll
away from where you were, as the Katana Guard will come to check. As he
does, leap out, run behind him and kill him. (Note: If he doesn't get
stuck, just make sure to stand up fast and get a ! from him. If not, just
repeat this by standing near the slope and getting him to come up again.)
Once he's dead, near where you killed the Geisha, look downward for a
Claw Guard to be patrolling. When you see a chance, leap down, kill him
and then jump onto the roof to your left and crouch.
When the nearby Innocent isn't looking, roll off the roof and head
straight ahead right behind a small fence and remain still, as there's a
Katana Guard right by you. He'll never see you, if you remain crouching,
so just remain doing so. When you see a chance, leap up, kill him and
then crouch and roll to the door straight ahead. In this new area, jump
onto the roof of the house ahead of you and below you to the north should
be a Katana Guard. Blow Gun him dead, then drop down and follow the path
to the left and be careful, as there's a Innocent walking about. Doing
this fast enough, she SHOULD be near the bridge. Just wait until she's
past the bridge before running towards it, as even if she spots you, it
won't hurt your ranking too much. Once on the bridge, you'll enter a Boss
Battle...
Note: If you took the shortcut at the very beginning, you'll appear to
the right of the bridge in the water. Even if you're sighted, just
immediately run to the bridge to start the Boss Battle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Ayame -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Urgh, she's a bitch. Not sure about you, but I hate using Rin
in close combat, she's just so...weak. Anyway, your best bet is to wait
until Ayame attacks and then avoid and attack yourself, but for an easy
win, shoot her with a Bamboo Gun, 2 Cannons or 2 Grenades.
After the cutscene and when you're back in control, use your Grappling
Hook and aim for the building's roof to the right of the door. You should
land on the middle ledge, so just leap up onto the roof after. Now, you
have a choice. As far as I've seen, you don't need to kill anyone else
here, as you have an Assassin Rank already. However, just for fun, there
is a Katana Guard and 2 Geisha Guards walking around the building you're
on. To the far NE is a Katana Guard and Claw Guard patrolling and another
Geisha to the west in this area, so have fun. Just keep to the roof tops
and drop down, kill, go back to the roof after. Not too hard. Anyway,
when you're ready, head to the large house to the northwest and on the
roof is a small crawl space that you can enter.
Do so and once inside, check to your right for a box with 5 Shuriken here.
Next, head to your left and drop down the hole, and hug the wall and stay
near the door. A Geisha will come close and even walk through the door,
however, step out infront of her and in the moment of surprise, attack her
get a Stealth Kill, cancel the animation and immediately run up the
stairs, Grapple Hook back up and wait. The Masked Guard will find the dead
Geisha, so when he returns to normal, rush down and rush into the room, as
you should be behind him now, so just Stealth Kill him.
Next up, you need to make a choice now. Below the barrels in this room is
a crawl space with a box that holds a Map of Nasu's House. If you choose
to get it, you will unlock Chapter 7.2 - For Whom The Bell Tolls. If you
don't get it, you will instead unlock Chapter 7.1 - A Sister's Promise.
Now, after you decide, you have another choice. In the next room, there's
two paths. If you choose the path all the way to the right, you'll go down
into a small basement, which a cutscene will take place and you will not
fight Nasu. If you wish to fight Nasu, take the path to the left and
you'll enter a Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Nasu -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Wow, for a blind guy, he's really, really damn good. This
little rapist is very skilled with a sword and if he nails you with it,
he'll do a series of combo attacks. Also, when he stands still slowly

took the eastern most path hugging the right wall to him, instead of the
left wall, you won't fight him at all and instead see a different cutscene.
Regardless of what path you took, after the cutscene, you'll be in Nasu's
Room. Lean up against the white design on the door in his room to enter a
hidden area. Inside, follow the path and head down the stairs and head
left to finish this Stage.

- K. Chapter 7.1 - A Sister's Promise . . . . . . . . . . . [ ASISP6.11 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Ayame.
Item Rewarded For Grand Master - Ninja Armor.
Items In The Stage - Amulet x1, Decoy Bell x2, Egg x1 and Health Potion x1.
Strategy - I suggest you bring 1-2 Invisibly Spells with you for this run,
as it makes the Stage much easier to get through. Also bring all the Blow
Guns you have.
Note: In order to be able to play this game you must have not gotten the
Map with Rin in Chapter 6.1/6.2.
After the cutscene, a Masked Guard will be patrolling the stairs ahead of
you. Simple crouch and move over and wait for a chance to kill him, then
do so and head left through the door. Next, head down the stairs and lean
up against the left side of the wall and watch the Old Man Guard and the
Masked Guard's pattern. When both are turned around, run up, kill one of
them, cancel the animation scene and then kill the other. After this, at
the top of the stairs, look down and a Katana Guard will come into sight.
Blow Gun him dead, then carefully make your way down, but watch for the
Old Man Guard behind the gate, as he might see you. Head left now and
enter the crawl space, grab the box nearby for a Amulet and then Grapple
Hook over to the ledge when the Katana Guard isn't looking and Stealth
Kill him when you have a chance.
Next, backtrack to where you killed the first two Guards and you'll see a
a weird white/black pattern on the wall. Lean up against the door to
enter a new area. Now the fun begins. Use a Invisibility Scroll and bum
rush the two Guards around the corner, drop down into the pit to the left
of them, kill the Old Man Guard here, follow the path, kill the other Old
Man Guard and IF the spell hasn't worn, make haste up the slope straight
ahead and finish off the Female Guard here. Good job if you got this far.
If you didn't get the Female Guard, simply stay back, watch her movement
and after she turns around, run in and kill her. (Note: Do NOT drop down
into the area to the right of where you just killed the two Guards, it's
a deathtrap. You want to fall down into a new area that's to the left of
them. However, in the pit is a box with 2 Decoy Bells, but they're really
not worth the trouble.)
After this, at the top of the stairs there's a Egg on the shelf if you
want it, otherwise, head over to the sliding door, use your other
Invisibility Spell and enter, bum rush the Old Man Guard, follow the path,
kill the Female Guard, take a right and head up the stairs and kill the
Old Man Guard and Masked Guard here. After this, head south through
another sliding door to find a Health Potion in this room. Finally, exit
this room, head left and follow the path around to enter a room which will
start a Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Shinogi -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Well, Shinogi's...different. He fights with 3 swords, the third
in his mouth and likes to kick up sand to blind and stun you temporarily.
The best bet is to R2 Button lock onto him and avoid him, but be careful,
when he attacks he does it 3-5 times, so careful on approaching him for
your own attack. Other than that he's pretty easy, nothing you can't
handle and if it looks bad, Grenade him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Ayame.
Item Rewarded For Grand Master - Ninja Armor.
Items In The Stage - Amulet x1, Dokuto Blades x1, Health Potion x1 and
Spinner x1.
Strategy - I suggest you bring 1-2 Invisibly Spells with you for this run,
as it makes the Stage much easier to get through. Also bring all the Blow
Guns you have.
Note: In order to be able to play this game you must have gotten the Map
with Rin in Chapter 6.1/6.2.
After the cutscene, head up the steps and run through the sliding door
and Stealth Kill the Masked Guard standing here. Next, head down the
stairs and lean up against the left side of the wall and watch the Old
Man Guard and the Masked Guard's pattern. When both are turned around,
run up, kill one of them, cancel the animation scene and then kill the
other. After this, at the top of the stairs, grab the Health Potion you
see, then head over to the weird white/black pattern on the wall. Lean up
against the door to enter a new area. Now the fun begins. Use a
Invisibility Scroll and bum rush the two Guards around the corner, drop
down into the pit to the left of them, follow the path around, kill the
Old Man Guard here, then bang a left down the hall and kill the Female
Guard you come across. (Note: Do NOT drop down into the area to the right
of where you just killed the two Guards, it's a deathtrap. You want to
fall down into a new area that's to the left of them.)
Good job if you got this far. If you didn't get the Female Guard, simply
stay back, watch her movement and after she turns around, run in and kill
her. After this, head over to the sliding door, use your other
Invisibility Spell and enter, bum rush the first Guard here, follow the
path, kill the next Guard here, take a right and head up the stairs and
kill another Guard, then head left through another sliding door and kill
the final Guard here. Whew. Also, in this room, since you followed my
walkthrough (Hopefully.) down to the last word, you didn't hit the switch
at the start of the level, so the layout didn't change, thus a box is in
this room. Inside are Ayame's alternative weapon, the Dokuto Blades. They
are stronger than her normal Katanas and also inflict Poison onto any
enemy that's hit with these.
AWESOME to have anytime after this, as Poison ROCKS. Anyway, if you wish,
backtrack to the first sliding door and in the room with the first Guard
you killed on your second Invisibility Scroll, there's a box here with a
Amulet inside. Next, near where you killed the second Guard, there's a pit
with a box, holding a Spinner inside. Either way, once you're ready, from
where you got the Dokuto Blades, exit the room and go left and follow the
path around to enter a room which will start a Boss Battle...

- M. Chapter 8 - A Task Without Reward . . . . . . . . . . . [ ATAWR6.13 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Rin.
Item Rewarded For Assassin - Ninja Armor.
Items In The Stage - Cannon x1.
Strategy - Bring all the Blow Guns you have, this Stage is so very
annoying. Pretty much anywhere you hide you run a risk of getting caught,
just a really thorn in your side level. You want to keep moving and you
want to kill fast, there's only...I believe 10 Guards here, so kill fast
and move fast. Also, bring a few Shuriken for the Dog enemies here.
After the cutscene, Grapple Hook up the left side of the wall and crouch
and observe the two Archer Guards. When the one on the pillar has his back
to you, jump over to him, kill him, then leap down and kill the other one.
Next, go back ontop of the wall where you started off at and on the right
side of it, you should see a patrolling Spear Guard. Use a Blow Gun on
him, then head down and up the road and stop when you hear a conversation.
Run and go back where you were and wait, as a Guard will come patrolling
up. Watch him and when you see a chance, drop and kill him, then head onto
a smaller roof nearby and crouch low. Use a Shuriken or two on the Dog you
see here, then nearby, there's a Guard near the roof you're on. Watch
below you and when you see a oppertunity, drop and kill him.
Next up, continue on the path now and you'll come to another Katana Guard
here, near a big rock. When he goes behind it, run in and kill him from
behind, then head west down the slope to find another Guard. Watch his
movement and strike him when you see a chance. Continue north and you'll
see yet another Guard near a river. Simply watch his movement and kill
him when you spot your chance. Now, there's a patrolling Archer Guard
nearby as well. When you can get a chance, Blow Gun him dead and you've
cleared all the Guards in the Stage. Head north on the path and near the
end you'll find a box with a Cannon inside. Now, don't continue on just
yet, but instead backtrack to where there's a waterfall and a bridge. Go
onto that bridge, but DO NOT CROSS OVER.
On the other side of the bridge is a fence wall with a VERY small stepping
area in front of it. To the west there's a box. Jump at the fence and you
should land on the very, very small patch of land. Shimmy over to the west
and when you have to, jump over to reach the box. (I found just smashing
jump when I felt I couldn't go any farther worked pretty well, since the
ground for the box was..."slippery" in a way.) Inside you'll get Rin's
alternative weapon, the Demon Claws. They, unlike the Dokuto Blades are
always active, making Rin's normal punches much stronger. Whenever you're
ready, from where you were on that bridge before you got the Demon Claws,
go ahead and cross over now to get a cutscene, as you finish this Stage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- N. Chapter 9 - Foreign Lands . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ FORLA6.14 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Ayame.
Item Rewarded For Grand Master - Fire Spell.
Items In The Stage - Dog Bone x1, Health Potion x1 and Mine x1.
Strategy - Like Chapter 5, you're going to be immediately thrown into a
Boss Battle, so be ready. I suggest you get 1 Smoke Bomb, 1 Grenade, all
the Blow Guns you have and maybe 1 Health Potion. Other than that, this is
a pretty short Stage to say the least.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: 3 Assassins -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Can be easy or hard. They're just typical Guards, I suggest you
bring 1-2 Grenades, maybe 1 Smoke Bomb and have at it. If you leave the
Masked Samurai Guard alive, you'll see a cutscene and it will also effect
the next route in the game.
Note: If you leave the Katana Guard alive and kill the other two, you will
go onto Chapter 10.2 - Flames of Sorrow. If you killed all three, you'll
go onto Chapter 10.1 - Flames of Passion.
After the fight, head north and on the ledge there'll be a Health Potion.
Take it and climb up and crouch foward to hear a conversation between two
Guards. To your right, down in the woods is a Katana Guard, which, you
should asap nail with a Blow Gun, then look ahead of you to see a Female
Guard. When she gets in range, shoot her with a Blow Gun and then to your
left, watch for a Old Man Guard to start patrolling. When you see a
chance, drop down and kill them, then get back up to where you were and
walk over to the edge and drop down after seeing where the Masked Guard
below you is. Kill him, then head to your left to find a box with a Mine
inside.
Next up, climb up the ledge ahead of you and immediately Blow Gun the
patrolling Claw Guard, then drop back down. Head to your right and watch
the Old Man Guard's stationary movement pattern to the north and when you
see a chance, run in, climb the ledge and kill him. Once you do this, head
to your left as far as you can go and climb up onto the wall here and
observe. There's a Old Man Guard and a Dog here. If you have any Shuriken,
use them, otherwise, Blow Gun the Dog, then drop and kill the Old Man
Guard. After this, simply follow the path up and at the stop, head to your
right, hugging the fence wall to find a box with a Dog Bone inside.
Finally, just follow the path all the way over to the south and you'll
enter a cutscene.

- O. Chapter 10.1 - Flames Of Passion . . . . . . . . . . . [ FLOPA6.15 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Rin.
Item Rewarded For Assassin - Fake Rat.
Items In The Stage - Egg x1, Flash Bomb x1 and Health Potion x2.
Strategy - In my opinion, this was the most annoying Stage. Mainly since
you can get a instant death if you fall off the cliff and because a few
of the kills here were really hard to pull off. For that, I strongly urge
you bring 1 (2 if you have them.) Invisibility Spell and all the Blow Guns
you have.
Note: To play this Stage you must have killed all three Guards at the
start of Chapter 9.
After the cutscene, get onto the roof in front of you and crouch,
observing the two Staff Monk Guards. When one of them starts to come near
you, walking by the river side, watch the other one and the second the
other one turns to walk away, jump over the river from the roof top and
kill the Staff Monk Guard close to you, then quickly run up and kill the
other one, as he's just turning around. Once he's dead, return to where
you started to get a Health Potion, which is nearby. After this, continue
on the path and when you come to being able to go left or right, Grapple
Hook up onto the ledge above you. Shimmy to the right and carefully watch
the Staff Monk Guard here and when he turns around, leap up and kill him.
Next, below you to your left a bit is a small shed. However, directly
below is a patrolling Staff Monk Guard.
When you see a chance, jump down and kill him, then look around the shed
for a box with a Health Potion inside. After this, head right and you'll
see a stationary Monk Staff Guard ahead of you, across a giant gap. Above
the guard's head is a tree branch, which you can Grapple Hook onto. Get
near the edge of the cliff, aim at it and you'll hang from the branch.
Pull yourself up and you'll stand on it. Now just wait for a chance to
drop down and kill the guard. Now, here comes the hard part, sort of. I
suggest you use your Invisibility Spell now and run in and bum rush the
two guards in this area, then across from the broken bridge is a
patrolling guard. Get close to the ledge and when he comes down near the
other side of the bridge and Blow Gun him dead. After this, behind the
shed in this area is a box with a Flash Bomb inside.
Once you get this, near the bridge, drop down to the small ledge below
and then jump onto the side of the bridge and shimmy yourself all the
way across and then climb up to the other side. Once here, hang from the
ledge above you and watch the guard here as he patrols. When he turns
around, climb up fast and go kill him. After this, if you have another
Invisibility Spell, use it now after you run down, but before you cross
the bridge. There's two guards here, just make short work of them. If you
haven't got another spell, head down the path and observe the guard here
and Blow Gun him dead. Another guard nearby might notice this, wait a few
seconds to see, if not, from the bridge, Grapple Hook up onto the huge
ledge near you and hang there, watching the other guard patrol.
When you see a chance, kill him and grab the box nearby to get a Egg, then
go ahead and enter the door here to enter a Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Futaba & Hitoha -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Another easy Boss Battle, however it can easily turn ugly.
If you choose to kill Futaba first, Hitoha becomes enraged and becomes 10
times harder to defeat, along with a bunch of devastating attacks. So, if
you want to do this the easy way, kill Hitoha first, then Futaba. Futaba
uses her crossbow on her arm to shoot darts at you, as well as can shoot
some in the air and a bunch of them at you all at once. As for Hitoha, he
likes to just do a bunch of physical attack combos which hurt, but when
enraged he can do a fire wave, which is like a crescent when released on
the ground around him, as well as releasing 5 Grenades at once while in
the air. He also can do a charging attack with his fist that HURTS, as
well as he can counter your attacks sometimes. Again, it can be easy or
hard, so make your choice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Rin.
Item Rewarded For Assassin - Fake Rat.
Items In The Stage - Firework x1, Health Potion x2 and Rice Ball x2.
Strategy - In my opinion, this was the most annoying Stage. Mainly since

of the kills here were really hard to pull off. For that, I strongly urge
you bring 1 (2 if you have them.) Invisibility Spell and all the Blow Guns
you have.
Note: To play this Stage you must not have killed the Katana Guard at the
start of Chapter 9.
After the cutscene, get onto the roof in front of you and crouch,
observing the two Staff Monk Guards. When one of them starts to come near
you, walking by the river side, watch the other one and the second the
other one turns to walk away, jump over the river from the roof top and
kill the Staff Monk Guard close to you, then quickly run up and kill the
other one, as he's just turning around. Once he's dead, near the archway
is the first red statue you need to turn, so just go near it to get a
cutscene. Once this is done, near the candle holder there's a Health
Potion, so take that and continue on the path. When you come to being
able to go left or right, head left down the path but do NOT turn right
to continue on. There's some shrubbery here, hide behind this and just
make sure you see a Monk Staff Guard coming along the path.
Immediately run back and go around the corner and lean up against the
wall to watch him as he comes near. When he turns away, run in and kill
him. After this, Grapple Hook up the cliff to your right and crouch the
SECOND you pull yourself up, as a Old Man Guard might notice you. If
not, you're good. Observe him below you and when you see a chance, drop
in and kill him. Next up, ahead of you should be a small shed. Drop down
and then get onto the roof and get close to the edge where you'll hear
two guards talking. When they finish and one moves to walk away, drop
inbetween them and attack immediately for a Double Stealth Kill. (Don't
worry, you won't fall off the ledge, but one of the dead bodies will.)
Once they're dead, near the shed is the second status you need to turn,
so go near it to turn it. Afterwards, continue on the path and you'll
come to a big gap in the path. Head over to the edge and make your way
across to your right to enter a dead end area, with the third statue.
Turn it, then make your way back carefully. Near the edge, across the
way there's a tree branch here. Use your Grappling Hook on it and you'll
latch onto it. Drop down and continue onwards, but stop midway up the
slope here. Now, here comes the hard part, sort of. I suggest you use
your Invisibility Spell now and run in and bum rush the three guards in
this area, then across from the broken bridge is a patrolling guard. Get
close to the ledge and when he comes down near the other side of the
bridge and Blow Gun him dead. After this, behind the shed in this area
is a box with a Health Potion, then turn the fourth statue near the shed
here as well.
Once you get this, near the bridge, drop down to the small ledge below
and then jump onto the side of the bridge and shimmy yourself all the
way across and then climb up to the other side. Once here, continue on
and get the box in this area to get a Firework, then turn the fifth
statue. After this, continue on onto the small bridge and stop and to
your right, grapple over to the small area you see to find the six statue
and then Grapple Hook up the big ledge to your left and crouch down. Ahead
of you is a stationary guard. Use a Blow Gun on him, then to your left
below you is another guard. Watch his movement and then drop in and kill
him. Near here is a box with 2 Rice Balls inside, so take them and then
head through the door in this area to enter a Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Futaba & Hitoha -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Another easy Boss Battle, however it can easily turn ugly.
If you choose to kill Futaba first, Hitoha becomes enraged and becomes 10
times harder to defeat, along with a bunch of devastating attacks. So, if
you want to do this the easy way, kill Hitoha first, then Futaba. Futaba
uses her crossbow on her arm to shoot darts at you, as well as can shoot
some in the air and a bunch of them at you all at once. As for Hitoha, he
likes to just do a bunch of physical attack combos which hurt, but when
enraged he can do a fire wave, which is like a crescent when released on
the ground around him, as well as releasing 5 Grenades at once while in
the air. He also can do a charging attack with his fist that HURTS, as
well as he can counter your attacks sometimes. Again, it can be easy or
hard, so make your choice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q. Chapter 11 - A Dance Of Swords . . . . . . . . . . . . [ ADOSW6.17 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Ayame.
Item Rewarded For Grand Master - Decoy Whistle.
Items In The Stage - Decoy Bell x1, Grenade x1 and Health Potion x2.
Strategy - This Stage is actually pretty simple, really. Again, bring any
Blow Guns you have and possibly a Bamboo Gun and Grenade as well. This is
your typical "Run around, kill guards, yay" Stage, nothing really
challenging about it at all, so feel free to relax some.
After the cutscene, run over to your right and you'll see a Archer Guard
moving away from you. Run up and kill him, then ahead below you a bit is
a patrolling Spear Guard. Wait for an oppertunity to kill him to arise
and then kill him as well. Now, there's two tunnels here. Stand just
above the slope leading into the tunnel to the left and wait for a guard
ahead near the wall to appear. When he does, quickly Blow Gun him dead,
then run forward and take a left and follow the path to the otherwide of
the wall and climb up and hang on it and wait. The guard you just killed
will be noticed, but don't worry. When everything's calm, climb up and
crouch and observe the guard that's coming near you. Watch for the guard
walking around the shed and when he turns out of sight, drop in and kill
the guard near you and then wait again.
The guard patrolling the house stops briefly here and there, but doesn't
turn around, so when his back is to you, run in and kill him. After this,
look around the area for a box with a Decoy Bell inside, then head into
the next area and look for a Health Potion here. After this, drop into
the water here while crouching and then enter the crawl space to enter
another new area. In the next area, jump up and hang onto the ledge here
and when you see a chance, kill the Archer Guard here. Afterwards, head
to your right and watch for a Katana Guard. When he's out of view, get
onto the roof of the house here and watch his movements. Drop and kill
him when you get a chance, then backtrack to where you killed the Archer
Guard and head up the steps nearby and get onto to the roof of the house
here.
You'll hear a conversation, which crouch and walk over to the edge and
two guards are here. When they stop and turn around, drop between them
and attack immediately to get a Double Stealth Kill. Immediately retreat
afterwards and look for the Geisha near the playhouse. When you see her,
watch her and kill her when the chance presents itself, then search the
area for a box with a Grenade inside and head into the playhouse.
There's two crawl spaces here, take the one to the left and in the next
area, don't leave the crawl space right away, wait until a Geisha
appears and when she walks away, get up, run in and kill her, then quickly
run up the staircase nearby, avoiding the Innocent patrolling near you.
Grab the Health Potion up here, then jump onto the stage below and you'll
enter a Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Ranzou -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Ah, the sicko that likes to torture women. Ranzou likes to use
two Katanas together at the hilt and despite his appearence, he's pretty
easy. However, if in the fight you take over 1 1/2 minutes and he's not
dead, he'll escape and you'll go to a different part of the next mission.
On the other hand, his attacks are basically just normal slashes and this
black pentagram that he releases under you to freeze you so he can attack.
When you see this, move or jump away. Other than that, just R2 Button
target him, counter his attacks (Or rush him and attack, I find he doesn't
Guard a whole lot.) and take him down.
Depending on your actions, if you let Ranzou escape, you'll head onto
Chapter 12.1 - Tenchu Kurenai. If you killed Ranzou, you'll instead head
onto Chapter 12.2 - Tenchu Kurenai.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- R. Chapter 12.1 - Tenchu Kurenai . . . . . . . . . . . . [ TENKUR6.18 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character - Rin.
Item Rewarded For Assassin - Sleeping Gas.
Items In The Stage - Grenade x1 and Health Potion x1.
Strategy - Well, this is it, the final Stage. I highly suggest you bring a
Ninja Rebirth, all the Blow Guns you have, your Demon Claws, Amulet, Ninja
Armor and Bamboo Guns. The Stage itself is pretty easy, however Jyuzou
himself is NO cake walk.
Note: In order to play this Stage, you must have let Ranzou escape in
Chapter 11 - A Dance Of Swords.
After the cutscene, get out of sight and up ahead you'll see a Claw Guard
walking past you ahead. When he stops and turns around, run up and kill
him, then from where you started, hug the wall to the left and wait for
the Old Man Guard to find the dead guard. When he's calm, rush out and
kill him, then head down the path toward the bridge. Hug the wall to the
left and at the end, observe the Claw Guard here. When you see a chance,
kill him and then head across the bridge (Be careful of the Innocent
patrolling around to the right of the bridge, make sure he doesn't see
you.) and hug the left side of the door here. There's a Katana Guard here
patrolling. Watch his movement and run in and kill him when you see the
chance.
After this, from the door, head right and stop at the slope leading down
and lean up against the wall to the left and watch the Katana Guard below.
When you see a chance, run in, kill him and then run back up to where you
killed the last guard and head down the steps and to your right there's a
roof here. Jump onto it while crouching and watch below you. An Old Man
Guard should be patrolling near the fence thing ahead of you. When he gets
close, Blow Gun him dead, then jump down and head to the right to the set
of stairs here. Jump onto the banister on the stairs here at the bottom
and leap at the fence straight ahead. You should catch onto it and when
you do, pull yourself up and onto the roof here. Observe the Masked Guard
here and when you see a chance, drop down, kill him, get the box nearby
with a Health Potion inside and then enter the door you see. (Note: In the
southwestern part of this area is a possible spot where Manjirou is, so
take the time to see if he's there.)
In this area, immediately head left to possibly encounter Manjirou. If you
do, watch the scene. If he's not there, either way, Grapple Hook up to the
area above you and crouch. Head to the edge to the east and watch the
Female Guard here. Blow Gun her dead, then head north and look down below
you to see a Katana Guard here. When you see a chance, drop down and kill
him, then climb back up, head back down to where you grappled up and head
over to the other side of this area and get ontop of the wooden platform
here. At the far end, watch the Katana Guard here and when you see a
chance, kill him. Now, to the north is a Female Guard and a Old Man Guard,
which the latter is in a watchtower. Blow Gun the Old Man Guard and then
observe the Female Guard. Get in close to her and hide and when you see a
chance, kill her.
Now, you got a choice here. If Manjirou was in this area where I told you
he'd be, you're all set for Assassin Rank and you're ready for the final
two Bosses and can head through the door to the north. However, if
Manjirou wasn't here, then you need to head through the door to the east.
If so, ignore this and head right onto the Boss Battle after the next
couple paragraphs. (Note: Near the door to the east is a box with a
Grenade, so grab it. Also nearby is another spot where Manjirou could be,
he's to the south of the east door.) In this area, crouch and then kill
the Katana Guard ahead of you, then there should be a small crawl space
near you. Enter it to find a box with a Amulet inside, then in the
northwestern part of this area is the final spot where Manjirou could be.
Once you find him, there's 5 guards in this area, 3 are around the houses,
1 is to the right of the gate and another is south, near a drop point from
the very start of the stage. Observe and take out each of them if you
wish, however they're all optional, so it's your call. When you're ready,
exit the way you came and then head through the door to the north of you
and gear up for the second to last Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle: Shou -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - A guitar playing pretty boy, Shou's actually pretty weak. His
guitar doubles as a machine gun, but he's easy to avoid and easy to hit.
Just be careful of his gun and move in to attack when he shoots and you'll
easily win.
After the battle, you'll see a long cutscene and then enter the final
Boss Battle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss Battle Final: Jyuzou -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Whew, ok. Jyuzou is, without a doubt, insane. The guy has some
very good parrying and blocking skills and the first time I fought him
head on, I didn't land ONE blow. Anyway, the best bet you have for him is
wait until he does a charging rush at you and dodge and then counter him.
That or you can attempt to rush him and hopefully hit him when he slashes
at you himself, you could get lucky, which I've done this a few times.
Also, be VERY careful of his charging move, sometimes he does a stronger
version and goes farther than normal. If you're caught in this, he does a
"Stealth Kill", but it only takes off about 1/2 of your Hit Points, which
can be devastating. Also, most weapons don't work on him, as in Grenades
and such, as he bounces them off with his Umbrella. However, Bamboo Gun
and Cannon seem to work ok, as everything else just doesn't.
Once Jyuzou is down, watch the cutscene and enjoy the ending!

Ninja Rebirth, all the Blow Guns you have, your Demon Claws, Amulet, Ninja
Armor and Bamboo Guns. The Stage itself is pretty easy, however Jyuzou

Congratulations! You just completed Tenchu: Fatal Shadows! Enjoy the

heh heh. Hopefully in the next game, he will make his return. Anyway, go
for Red Blade Mode now and enjoy that, along with the alternative Stages
for each level. With that said, I hope my walkthrough helped you, so take
care and I hope you enjoyed Tenchu: Fatal Shadows!

know is right here in a quick, easy reference. This also can be used for

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A. Rin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ RI7.1 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - She's pretty easy. Just use the R2 Button and lock onto her and
side step any of her attacks and counter when you can. She likes to do a
thrusting move with her Katana, a jump in the air where she tries to hit
you and a typical punch combo. Really not that hard, just wait till she
attacks and run in and slash at her, as she'll be open. Repeat until she
falls.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- B. Tatsukichi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ TATSU7.2 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - As Ayame said, "Are you serious?" She's pretty weak, a few
slashes will take her down. Alternatively, if you wanna see the next
cutscene after you kill her in a different way, as the battle begins, run
up and while holding the Left Analog Stick toward her, get close and hit
the Circle Button and instead of a throw, Ayame will knock her in the neck
and she'll fall over.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- C. Kumagorou . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ KUMA7.3 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Ahhhh! Bear! Nah, he's pretty easy. Again, R2 Button lock onto
him and wait for him to charge at you and side step, then run in and go
nuts with combos. Also, when he stands on his hind legs and slashes, run
around to his back and combo him again. Very, very easy Boss.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- D. Ayame . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ AYAM7.4 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Urgh, she's a bitch. Not sure about you, but I hate using Rin
in close combat, she's just so...weak. Anyway, your best bet is to wait
until Ayame attacks and then avoid and attack yourself, but for an easy
win, shoot her with a Bamboo Gun, 2 Cannons or 2 Grenades.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- E. Nasu . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ NAS7.5 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Wow, for a blind guy, he's really, really damn good. This
little rapist is very skilled with a sword and if he nails you with it,
he'll do a series of combo attacks. Also, when he stands still slowly
putting his sword away, if you attack him immediately, he'll do a "Stealth
Kill" that can really hurt you, but will not kill you if you have enough
Hit Points. However, if you wait a few seconds after he starts and attack
him, he won't do it and it's a free shot for you to combo him. The room
you're in is very small, so avoiding him is hard altogether. I suggest you
just Bamboo Gun, Cannon or Grenade him for the win. Alternatively, if you
took the eastern most path hugging the right wall to him, instead of the
left wall, you won't fight him at all and instead see a different cutscene.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- F. Shinogi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ SHIN7.6 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Well, Shinogi's...different. He fights with 3 swords, the third
in his mouth and likes to kick up sand to blind and stun you temporarily.
The best bet is to R2 Button lock onto him and avoid him, but be careful,
when he attacks he does it 3-5 times, so careful on approaching him for
your own attack. Other than that he's pretty easy, nothing you can't
handle and if it looks bad, Grenade him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- G. 3 Assassins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ ASSA7.7 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Can be easy or hard. They're just typical Guards, I suggest you
bring 1-2 Grenades, maybe 1 Smoke Bomb and have at it. If you leave the
Masked Samurai Guard alive, you'll see a cutscene and it will also effect
the next route in the game.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- H. Futaba & Hitoha . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ FUHI7.8 ]-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Another easy Boss Battle, however it can easily turn ugly.
If you choose to kill Futaba first, Hitoha becomes enraged and becomes 10
times harder to defeat, along with a bunch of devastating attacks. So, if
you want to do this the easy way, kill Hitoha first, then Futaba. Futaba
uses her crossbow on her arm to shoot darts at you, as well as can shoot
some in the air and a bunch of them at you all at once. As for Hitoha, he
likes to just do a bunch of physical attack combos which hurt, but when
enraged he can do a fire wave, which is like a crescent when released on
the ground around him, as well as releasing 5 Grenades at once while in
the air. He also can do a charging attack with his fist that HURTS, as
well as he can counter your attacks sometimes. Again, it can be easy or
hard, so make your choice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I. Ranzou . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ RANZ7.9 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Ah, the sicko that likes to torture women. Ranzou likes to use
two Katanas together at the hilt and despite his appearence, he's pretty
easy. However, if in the fight you take over 1 1/2 minutes and he's not
dead, he'll escape and you'll go to a different part of the next mission.
On the other hand, his attacks are basically just normal slashes and this
black pentagram that he releases under you to freeze you so he can attack.
When you see this, move or jump away. Other than that, just R2 Button
target him, counter his attacks (Or rush him and attack, I find he doesn't
Guard a whole lot.) and take him down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- J. Shou . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ SHO7.10 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - A guitar playing pretty boy, Shou's actually pretty weak. His
guitar doubles as a machine gun, but he's easy to avoid and easy to hit.
Just be careful of his gun and move in to attack when he shoots and you'll
easily win.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- K. Jyuzou . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ JYUZ.11 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy - Whew, ok. Jyuzou is, without a doubt, insane. The guy has some
very good parrying and blocking skills and the first time I fought him
head on, I didn't land ONE blow. Anyway, the best bet you have for him is
wait until he does a charging rush at you and dodge and then counter him.
That or you can attempt to rush him and hopefully hit him when he slashes
at you himself, you could get lucky, which I've done this a few times.

can be devastating. Also, most weapons don't work on him, as in Grenades
and such, as he bounces them off with his Umbrella. However, Bamboo Gun
and Cannon seem to work ok, as everything else just doesn't.
Anyway, keep at it and don't be afraid to use Health Potions here and
hopefully you have your Ninja Armor on, as well as a Amulet and Strength
Potion, Sacrifice Potion and Ninja Rebirth, as those all help. Good luck
on beating him, just be very vary of him, as he's not to be taken lightly.

= [ VIII. Analyzing The Enemy ] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ ANTEN8 ]=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Throughout the game, there are many enemies you'll face, some pathetic,
some dangerous. However, never, under any circumstances, underestimate the
enemy, as you'll be quite surprised at the consequences. Here's a rundown
on the various enemies in the game:
Enemy Name: Archer Guard.
Information: A pretty weak Guard, he uses a bow and arrow as his weapon.
From a range he's dangerous, but he really has little Hit Points and will
fall very fast.
Enemy Name: Bear.
Information: Only found in the alternative layouts and not the Story Mode,
these things are pretty strong, so be sure to kill them with your best
weapon and fast.
Enemy Name: Blow Gun Monk Guard.
Information: Another Monk with a basket on his head, he likes to use the
Blow Gun. When you're hit with this, you'll be poisoned, so be careful.
Like the Archer Guard, he's also very weak, so try and get in close and
kill him before you alert him and get poisoned.
Enemy Name: Cat.
Information: Not really a enemy, except he will alert nearby Guards if
you alert him, so be careful. He can't be killed either, so make a note
of that.
Enemy Name: Claw Guard.
Information: A middle aged man wearing a mask and weilding claw weapons.
He, surprisingly, is VERY fast, so do not enter a direct fight with him.
Enemy Name: Dog.
Information: Typical watch Dog that if you alert, will alert nearby
Guards, so make sure to toss 1 or 2 Shuriken at it or to run up and slice
him before he alerts others.
Enemy Name: Female Guard.
Information: A basic female Ninja that's not really hard to kill. For
some odd reason though, these girls have red eyes...never quite knew why
either.
Enemy Name: Geisha.
Information: Don't be fooled by the guitar on their back, these aren't no
tea makers. The guitar is actually a seath for their sword, so be careful.
They're pretty hard enemies, but nothing too strong. Just don't be fooled
buy them and Innocent People.
Enemy Name: Katana Guard.
Information: Typical Guard with a Katana as his weapon. He's average
strength and not too hard to kill.
Enemy Name: Martial Artist Guard.
Information: Oh my God, I hate these guys. If you're spotted by them, be
prepared to fight a Ryu/Ken clone, this guy sucks. Very strong if you
fight him head on, so be careful not to alert him.
Enemy Name: Masked Samurai Guard.
Information: Um...he's pretty much like the Samurai Guard, except he has
a cloth over his face. That's about it.
Enemy Name: Ninja Guard.
Information: A typical Ninja that uses Claws to fight with. He's so so in
power, not hard to kill at all.
Enemy Name: Old Man Guard.
Information: A typical old man who's a Guard. Pretty easy to kill like the
Archer Guard, so don't fret with him.
Enemy Name: Samurai Guard.
Information: Basically just some middle aged Samurai that walks around
with crossed arms, really half assing his job. In a fight, he's so so,
nothing too much of a threat though.
Enemy Name: Spear Guard.
Information: A basic Guard with a Spear weapon. They're very slow and easy
to take down, provided you don't get nailed by them.
Enemy Name: Staff Monk Guard.
Information: A pretty silly looking Guard, he has a basket on his head.
Pretty weak otherwise, he uses a Staff as his weapon. Like the Spear
Guard, he's not hard to kill head on, but watch for his Staff.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= [ IX. Item List ] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ ITELI9 ]=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Throughout the game, you'll have a wide selecton of Items and Tools to
help aid you on your mission. Some Items are only given to you if you get
the highest Rank in a Stage or if you pick it up along the way. After each
Stage is beaten, depending on your rank, you'll get a certain amount of
new items/more items that you already have and any items you didn't use
will be added back to the storage. Anyway, here's a rundown on each Item
and Tool and what each does:
Note: When using ANY weapon, if you wish to cancel, release the R1 Button,
such as a Shuriken or something, otherwise you'll end up shooting it.
Item Name: Amulet.
Information: An Item that when put into your inventory slot makes you much
stronger automatically, no need to activate it. Very nice to bring along
if a Stage seems too hard for you or a Boss for that matter.
Item Name: Antidote.
Information: When you're hit with a Poison Dart from an enemy, your Hit
Point Bar will turn from red to green. During this time, every few seconds
your character will stop and spasm and lose a few Hit Points. This item
will instantly cure you, however, the effect of poison does wear off over
time, but it's very annoying. I never really had a problem with poison, so
don't bother bringing these along.
Item Name: Bamboo Gun.
Information: One of the strongest weapons in the game, when used it can
nearly, if not kill anything, even bosses, in 1 hit. However, you can't
aim this and must make sure the enemy is facing you perfectly, as whatever
direction you're facing will have you shoot the gun. Definitely nice to
carry for those hard Bosses.
Item Name: Blow Gun.
Information: Possibly one of THE best Items in the game. DEFINITELY load
up on as many as you can for every mission. They allow you to Stealth Kill
an enemy from afar, so these definitely come in handy. However, when used
when a enemy is aware of you, it merely just poisons them.
Item Name: Bola.
Information: A nice Item where when you're above the enemy and use it,
you pull them up on a piece of wire, choking them to death. If you're seen
and use this, it only hurts them for 1/2 of their Hit Points.
Item Name: Caltrops.
Information: A bunch of spiked balls that when used are tossed behind you
to slow down enemies that are chasing you. Sort of useful, I guess, but
not worth the inventory space in my opinion.
Item Name: Cannon.
Information: Another Rin only Item, like the Bamboo Gun, except it's a
bit weaker, but you can aim this one. Generally two of these can take down
a Boss, but with these, the Bamboo Gun and Grenades, you're a very
powerful Ninja.
Item Name: Chameleon Spell.
Information: Allows you to disguise yourself as a enemy Guard for a short
while. You can Stealth Kill with it, but it will wear off once you do.
Kind of useful, but I only used it for fun.
Item Name: Colored Rice.
Information: Leaves a trail of rice to show you where you've been. On the
Map it shows up as a X. Again, this is utterly useless, I NEVER touched
it, it's not worth the inventory space.
Item Name: Decoy Bell.
Information: Sort of like the Poisoned Rice, only it just lures the enemy
away for a short time. Not very useful in my opinion, as the Poisoned Rice
had a much better effect, so if you're gonna use something, use the rice.
Item Name: Decoy Whistle.
Information: Basically when you're detected, as in a ! on your Ki Meter,
use this to make a enemy not come and investigate. It's pretty useless, as
I used the ! to my advantage to get easy Stealth Kills, but use it if you
want.
Item Name: Demon Gloves.
Information: A weapon for Rin, found in Chapter 8 near the bridge that
leads to the end of the Stage. Right at the end of the bridge, to the left
of it is a wall with a VERY small ledge. You can hop over and slide across
the wall by leaning on it, but be careful or you'll fall and have to try
again. You'll see a Red Box in the distance, which is your goal. Inside
are the Demon Gloves, which when in your inventory increase your attack
power. Very nice and always available once you pick them up and complete
the stage, via your Item Selection screen.
Item Name: Dog Bone.
Information: An Item that calls out Semimaru to fight with Ayame only. I
used it a few times to test it and basically it's ok...but the effect is
random. I've seen it where he attacks twice and disappears to where he goes
four times before leaving. It's not that great, but he does help if you're
fighting a bunch of enemies and need to get a few off your back.
Item Name: Dokuto Blades.
Information: An Ayame Item only, when found in Chapter 7, once you beat
that Stage, these are yours forever. A MUCH stronger version of her normal
Katanas, these are laced with poison, so any enemy you hit will induce
Poison on them. VERY nice.
Item Name: Egg.
Information: A healing item that restores 1/2 of your Hit Points. Like the
other items, it takes 3-4 seconds to perform, so make sure you use it
somewhere safely.
Item Name: Exploding Arrow.
Information: An Ayame only Item, when used it hurts an enemy for a great
deal of damage. Just make sure you aim it well, as it has horrible
accuracy. It's ok, but nothing I really brought along on missions.
Item Name: Exploding Box.
Information: A Rin only Item, when set on the ground, the box explodes,
spending shrapnel in all directions. It's ok, just not something I ever
used and found pointless.
Item Name: Fake Rat.
Information: Basically it's a little remote controlled device that
explodes at will. More fun than useful, really, I never really bothered
with it.
Item Name: Fire Spell.
Information: A very cool Tool that when used sprays fire in many
directions, causing a good amount of damage to an enemy. Pretty nice to
use, but eh, only for Boss Battles or if you're in a pinch.
Item Name: Fireworks.
Information: Basically sets off some fireworks that have any nearby
enemies amazed at the show. However, if you place it close to one or you
don't move away fast enough, the explosion will REALLY knock you away and
same for the nearby enemy. I only used it once and I didn't move away in
time and it shot Rin off a ledge and I died...so...yeah, I never really
tried it again and just did it to see the effect afterwards. Use it if you
want, but it's not terribly useful.
Item Name: Grenade.
Information: Another very useful Item, the Grenade can deal a very high
amount of damage when used. However, make sure you hit the enemy with it,
as in be lined up with them, otherwise you'll miss and have to hope they
step on it or be near it as it explodes. Do NOT use this at close range,
as the blast can also hurt you as well.
Item Name: Grappling Hook.
Information: This is always on you, no matter what and it's not a option
to not have it. Basically use this and aim at a cliff or roof and if the
Ninja Star turns bright red, you can attach the hook to whatever you're
aiming at. If not, you won't be able to fire it.
Item Name: Hand Claws.
Information: An Ayame only Item, when used you can cling to walls for a
short period of time. Again, never really used this, but have fun with
it or try to make use of it.
Item Name: Health Potion.
Information: A potion that completely recovers all your Hit Points. Be
careful, as you're vulnerable when using this and it takes about 3-4
seconds to fully drink it, so make sure you're far enough from the enemy
or in a safe place to use it. If you are hit while drinking it, you'll
have to pick it up off the ground again and reuse it, so be careful.
Item Name: Invisibility Spell.
Information: This is just awesome. Basically you become invisible for a
short time and you can go around Stealth Killing like crazy without it
wearing off when you do. Definitely useful in a pinch and you need to
do a bum rush on a bunch of enemies.
Item Name: Mine.
Information: An Ayame Item only, when used if a enemy steps on it,
they'll take a ton of damage. Useful for Boss fights and for fun on
enemies, hehe.
Item Name: Ninja Rebirth.
Information: A very useful tool if you want to play it safe. If you are
to die, this item automatically activates and you're brought back to
life. If a any enemies are around, they are temporarily stunned and you
can Stealth Kill them, so have fun.
Item Name: Poisoned Rice.
Information: A somewhat useful Item that when used, if a enemy sees it,
they'll leave their post and go after it. You can pick it up and reuse it
if they don't get to it and eat it, however if they do, they'll become
poisoned and lose 1/2 of their Hit Points. I never really used it, so if
you wish to, go for it.
Item Name: Rice Ball.
Information: Ok, even though the animation for this shows you "drinking"
it, I'm just going to call it a Rice Ball, since that's the icon for it.
Anyway, like the Health Potion, it takes 3-4 seconds to consume it and
only recovers 30 Hit Points.
Item Name: Sacrifice Potion.
Information: It drains you to 1 Hit Point, but makes you very strong.
I stronglest suggest you have a Ninja Rebirth when using this. When used
with a Amulet and Strength Potion, oh boy, watch out Bosses.
Item Name: Shuriken.
Information: Eh, they're only really useful for killing Dog enemies and
until you unlock Sniper, they're not worth taking along. However, I DID
find them VERY useful in Red Blade Mode. When Ayame throws these at you,
dodge and get it, as throwing them at a Boss when he's hanging on by a
thread rocks and saves time, instead of you trying to run in and slash him
for the final move.
Item Name: Sleeping Gas.
Information: A very nice item, that when used puts an enemy to sleep. It's
probably more useful to use on Innocent People if anything, though.
Item Name: Smoke Bomb.
Information: Another Ayame only Item. Basically like the name implies,
when used smoke appears and it stuns the enemies briefly. Good for getting
away from the enemy or to get in some free hits. Bring it along if you
want, but you shouldn't really need it unless you screw up a Stealth Kill
or are spotted and have no choice but to fight.
Item Name: Spinner.
Information: Another Ayame only Item. Basically it explodes and hurts the
enemy as far as I can tell...pretty useless it seems, I never really
brought it on any Stages.
Item Name: Sticky Bomb.
Information: Wow this is fun to use. Basically you can throw it at a enemy
and it'll stick to them and hit the R3 Button to make them go boom! Nice
to use when that enemy walks by another enemy or set of enemies.
Item Name: Strength Potion.
Information: Like a Healing Potion, this takes a few seconds to activate,
so use it when you're safe. When used, your attack power will be much
stronger and yes, it can be paired with the Amulet to make you VERY strong.
Item Name: Wasp Nest.
Information: A Rin only Item, when used, a swarm of Wasps will appear and
if a enemy walks into the path, it will attack them until they die. Cool
to watch, but I never really used this Item either.

= [ X. Scroll Move List ] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ SCROI10 ] =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Throughout the game, when you successfully Stealth Kill an enemy, they'll
drop a certain amount of Scrolls, based on the level and if you did a
"Negative" kill, as in the screen turns a negative color and you get a
extra Scroll. At the end of each level, the Scrolls you collected are
added up and if you reach the desired amount, you'll unlock a skill for
the girl you're playing. Here's a list for each of the girls:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A. Ayame . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ AYAM10.1 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skill Name: Wall Run.
Scrolls Needed: 10.
What's It Do?: Basically, when you double jump at a wall, hit the X Button
again quickly and you'll do a quick run jump off the wall...it's useful to
reach up ledges on houses or walls, but don't expect to do real run up the
wall here.
Skill Name: Crescent Moon.
Scrolls Needed: 30.
What's It Do?: After your do the fourth attack in a combo, press away with
the Left Analog Stick and then hit the Square Button to do a kick attack.
Very useful in my opinion, I used this a lot in Red Blade Mode.
Skill Name: Hawk Eye.
Scrolls Needed: 60.
What's It Do?: When using the L1 Camera, use the Right Analog Stick to
zoom in and out. This also increases your accuracy and range with your
ranged weapons. I personally never used it, never really had to, since I
did fine without it, but I can see where it'd come in handy.
Skill Name: Swift Guard.
Scrolls Needed: 100.
What's It Do?: Allows you to Guard a enemy's attack. Basically right
before the attack hits you, press and hold the Circle Button, but this
takes a lot of timing and I suggest you don't rely on it, ever. Focus on
dodging, as it's much more reliable and you can counter attack when the
enemy is still doing their combo.
Skill Name: Cheetah Sprint.
Scrolls Needed: 150.
What's It Do?: When crouching on the ground, hit the L3 Button and the
direction you want to go to do a quick rush. To do this again and again,
release R1 and then hold it and do L3 again. Again, I only used it to see
what it was like, never really found it useful in my kills. I'd guess it's
good to move about undetected, but other than that, do what you will with
it.
Skill Name: Inner Ear.
Scrolls Needed: 200.
What's It Do?: When crouching, hold the Circle Button and on your Map,
enemies appear as green dots. VERY useful to have when going through the
missions, as you can plan ahead and figure who to kill first and how.
Skill Name: Arrow Block.
Scrolls Needed: 250.
What's It Do?: Allows you to block arrows and other projectiles from
enemies...again it's not that useful and timing is a pain. Just dodge
attacks, it's easier and more successful.
Skill Name: Long Claw.
Scrolls Needed: 300.
What's It Do?: After you rotate the Left Analog Stick and hit the Square
Button, you'll launch the enemy into the air. After doing so, hit the
Triangle Button to attack the enemy with the Grappling Hook. It's ok, not
really something THAT useful, just more for fun.
Skill Name: Sniper.
Scrolls Needed: 350.
What's It Do?: Wow, this thing rocks. When using Hawk Eye and throwing a
Shuriken, if you nail a enemy in the head, you'll get a Stealth Kill for
it. Very, very useful.
Skill Name: Mind Control.
Scrolls Needed: 400.
What's It Do?: When performing a Stealth Kill, instead of killing the
enemy, before you attack hit the Circle Button and Ayame will paralyze
the enemy. They can still notice you if you run into their line of sight,
but you can kill them anyway you want, however you'll only get 1 Scroll
for this. VERY useful to use on Innocent People so they aren't moving
around.
Skill Name: Spider's Nest.
Scrolls Needed: 450.
What's It Do?: Use your Grappling Hook and aim at a ceiling. When you hit,
hold the R1 Button to hang from it. You only can do this for 20 seconds,
so be careful. Useful to get a Stealth Kill crom patroling enemies that
pass underneath you.
Skill Name: False Wall.
Scrolls Needed: 500.
What's It Do?: When leaning against a wall, hold the Circle Button to
cover yourself with a sheet matching the wall. You CAN be spotted still
depending on your positioning, but other than that it's very useful for
Stealth Kills.
Skill Name: Wrath.
Scrolls Needed: 550.
What's It Do?: Press and hold the Square Button and then release it to
launch a devastating attack on the enemy. If more than one enemy is
around, press the Square Button again after you landed the first attack
to hit the next enemy. Very useful if you're in a pinch and enemies are
surrounding you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- B. Rin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ RI10.2 ] -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skill Name: Fang Guard.
Scrolls Needed: 10.
What's It Do?: Same as Swift Guard really. Hit the Circle Button right
before an enemy lands an attack on you to block it. Not really reliable,
as it takes good timing, so it's best to just dodge everything instead and
counter attack when possible.
Skill Name: Arrow Block.
Scrolls Needed: 30.
What's It Do?: Exactly like Ayame's Skill, just hit the Circle Button
before a enemy hits you with an arrow or protectile. Again, it's best to
just dodge attacks rather than block them, as the timing it takes is
insane.
Skill Name: Death Drop.
Scrolls Needed: 60.
What's It Do?: After hitting twice in a combo, move away with the Left
Analog Stick and Square, then hit Square again to catch the enemy in mid
air, and slam them to the ground. A VERY nice move, looks awesome to
execute.
Skill Name: Wall Run.
Scrolls Needed: 100.
What's It Do?: Like Ayame's Skill, double jump at a wall and hit the X
Button quickly to do a quick run up the wall. Not holy shit useful, but
it gives a nice little boost to your jump so you can reach high up ledges.
Skill Name: Hawk Eye.
Scrolls Needed: 150.
What's It Do?: Again, Like Ayame's Skill, when using the L1 camera, use
the Right Analog Stick to zoom in and out. Also increases your accuracy
and range with projectiles when in this mode.
Skill Name: Crimson.
Scrolls Needed: 200.
What's It Do?: During a Throw, rotate the Left Analog Stick and hit the
Circle Button to perform a really nice attack on the enemy. When paired
with Crimson Final, it's quite deadly.
Skill Name: Numbing Strike.
Scrolls Needed: 250.
What's It Do?: Like Ayame's Mind Control, this paralyzes the enemy into
not being able to move, however they can still spot you if you enter
their line of sight. If you kill a enemy in this mode, they will only
drop 1 Scroll. However, this is VERY useful when used on Innocent People
so they don't walk around and give you a chance to be spotted.
Skill Name: Shadow.
Scrolls Needed: 300.
What's It Do?: When crouching, press L3 and you'll become invisible for
a short time...not really useful really for how long it lasts, but at
least you can use it to Stealth Kill from the front of the enemy.
Skill Name: Long Claw.
Scrolls Needed: 350.
What's It Do?: Just like Ayame's Skill, rotate the Left Analog Stick and
hit the Square Button. Once the enemy is airborne, hit the Triangle
Button to grab him with the hook. Again, more for fun really than useful.
Skill Name: Spider's Nest.
Scrolls Needed: 400.
What's It Do?: Again, like Ayame's Skill, grapple at a ceiling and hold
the R1 Button to remain on the ceiling for 20 seconds. Useful to get a
Stealth Kill when a enemy is patroling beneath you and you have little
choice for other kills.
Skill Name: Sniper.
Scrolls Needed: 450.
What's It Do?: Sigh...heh, like Ayame's Skill, when using Hawk Eye,
throw a Shuriken at a enemy's head to get a Stealth Kill on them. VERY
useful once you obtain this.
Skill Name: Mimicry.
Scrolls Needed: 500.
What's It Do?: When you've made a noise, shown as a ! on your Ki Meter,
while crouching, hit the Circle Button to make a animal noise to throw
the enemy off as it was nothing, so they don't come to check it out. It's
ok I guess, although I mostly alerted enemies to pull them away for a
easier Stealth Kill.
Skill Name: Crimson Final.
Scrolls Needed: 550.
What's It Do?: During the Crimson attack, when Rin's breaking the enemy's
arm, press Up and Down on the Left Analog Stick and Circle to unleash the
true power of this attack. VERY cool to watch if you pull it off.
