There are major differences between Normal/Ninja Dog and Hard and up, but that's why this section also has locations for every difficulty. Enjoy! LTG-N ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++a. Normal/Ninja Dog++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <CHAPTER 1> - Lives of the Thousand Gods 1 - Ninja Fortress - In the Tatami Room in the Ninja Fortress. Very hard to miss. <CHAPTER 2> - Life of the Gods 1 - Near Hayabusa Village - You'll come across a broken bridge. Once you swim across the water, turn around and position yourself so you line up with a small area in front of you. Water run (press A when you hit the water and continue hitting A) and open up the chest. - Life of the Gods 2 - Hayabusa Village - After entering Hayabusa Village, look to the right and you'll see three statues with one of them missing its head. Defeat the enemies and head down the hill to where a dead ninja lies. Behind him is a small brown rock...which just so happens to be the missing statue's head. Run back up and place the head back on the statue to receive a Life of the Gods. <CHAPTER 3> - Life of the Gods 3 - Main Deck Area - Go through the left door of the double doors on the Main Deck. There should be a circular window to the right of the correct double doors.

Open up the chest here. - Lives of the Thousand Gods 2 - Tairon; near Clock Tower Plaza - After grabbing the above item, shimmy back over and kill the two soldiers firing at you with your bow.

Weapons - WPN ---------------- This section lists every weapon in the game along with upgrade prices, move lists, and where each weapon is found. Please read below for what everything means on the move list. Acquired: Easy enough, tells you where you get this weapon. Level 1/2/3/etc.: This tells you how much Yellow essence is required to upgrade the weapon to whatever level is listed next to the upgrade amount. The prices can change throughout the different difficulties. If a move says (Throw) by it, then the last button press activates an attack which makes you invincible during the attack frames and cannot be interrupted by anything once it begins. Usually a Scroll is required for this move to be usable. If a move says (Counter) by it, then pressing the buttons right when the enemy hits your guard activates an attack where you perform a different move depending on the weapon and what button you pressed. This only works if the move does not break your guard and you have the Counter Attack Scroll. If a button press says (6+X) then you need to press the control stick towards the enemy while tapping X. If a button press says Hold+Y, then you need to hold down that button until the attack animation begins. However, if the move says Essence or Essence MAX next to it, you need to continue to hold down the button until either: - blue lines start coming off of Ryu (Essence) - orange and red lines start coming off of Ryu (Essence MAX) If at the end of the move, it says Lv2, Lv3, Lv4, or Scroll, then you must have upgraded the weapon to the correct level before that attack is available. You need a certain Scroll to activate some moves as well. WPN-DS +++++a. Dragon Sword+++++ Acquired: This is the weapon you start every difficulty with.

Projectile Weapons+++++ There are seven different projectile weapons in the game. All of them are used with the B button. For prices, they are listed from Ninja Dog to Master Ninja. If you're looking for Hard mode prices, count to the third number from the left. - Shuriken - Incendiary Shuirken - Windmill Shuriken - Smoke Bombs - Bow/Strongbow - Explosive Arrows - APFSDS Cores Shuriken A simple cross-shaped throwing star. Location: begin game with them Shuriken are the weakest projectile weapon you can use. On the plus side, you have an infinite amount (ninja magic, of course) so you don't have to worry about running out. You can throw up to 4 in a short amount of time by mashing B. When you run and press B, Ryu dives forward and throws shuriken. A lot of enemies are immune to these, and there are much better alternatives. These can help you stay in the air longer though by mashing B. Incendiary Shuriken A shuriken with a small timer-detonated explosive at the tip. Location: Second floor of Archives in Monastery; inside a glass case Incendiary Shuriken are Kunai with small explosives on the end. They explode after a couple of seconds once they hit something, damaging the enemy it hit and the surrounding enemies. Jumping off a wall and mashing B lets you throw two very quickly. You can only throw one at a time on the ground though. Windmill Shuriken A giant shuriken with four folding blades. When thrown, it returns to the owner like a boomerang. Location: Alley near Han's Bar on Pleasure Street (Hard mode not included) The Windmill Shuriken is a giant shuriken with four folding blades. It rests on Ryu's right arm when not in use. It has pretty good range and can hit multiple enemies if they are lined up correctly. Normally, it is found near Han's Bar in an alley (Hard mode is an exception). After you find out you need a ticket, turn around and a Kunai will fly into a wall near by. Grab it and you should see blue lines on the walls in the alley. Get a good running start and wall run on the blue lines. Jump from wall to wall, and make sure to air yourself with the Dragon Sword at the end by pressing X if you don't think you'll make it. The Windmill Shuriken is located here, along with a silver X that restores your health and Ninpo when you interact with it. In Hard mode, you get the Windmill Shuriken by trading in 15 Golden Scarabs to Muramasa. A fun combo with the Dragon Sword is XYXXXB. It brings the enemy into the air and then chops off their heads while still in the air. This is also possible with the level 3 Lunar (6+Y,YXB). Try it out! Smoke Bombs When used, this item explodes, temporarily blinding all enemies in the immediate area. Location: On the other side of a valley after gaining Ninpo Smoke Bombs are small bombs that release a cloud of smoke where you hit B. Enemies will then target the smoke and not you, thus allowing you to get in some free hits if possible. You get these in a chest in Chapter 2 after wall running across a small valley. Bow A typical bow. As a projectile weapon that makes no sound, it has advantages over firearms. Location: Hayabusa Village, in the two story warehouse The Bow is acquired in Chapter 2. It fires arrows at enemies and is affected by gravity. If something's far away, aim high. After you find Ayane in Hayabusa Village, she gives you the Bow and five arrows for your use. Don't shoot her though. That's mean. >_< Strongbow A composite bow made in Vigoor in medieval times. It cannot be pulled by people of average strength. Location: Behind the Skull Door near the Military Gate This is found in Chapter 8 near the Military Gate in the Skull Door. This has very fast arrow flight and is not affected by the forces of gravity (that means no arc; whatever you aim at, you'll probably hit, unless you suck at aiming). Open the door and there are two small ledges. Wall run and jump to the first one, then wall run and jump to the second one. Run down the hallway and trade in your old Bow for the Strongbow. To use this weapon, hold down B and release it. For first person mode, hold B and move the left thumbstick. Explosive Arrows Arrows with explosive tips. Very destructive. Location: Right next to the door leading inside the Warehouse These are arrows with small explosives attached at the point. These do large damage and create a small explosion on whatever they hit. You find these in Chapter 9. APFSDS Cores The core section of tank shells. Made from a heavy tungsten material, they have superb penetration capability. Location: Inside the warehouse on the second floor These are tungsten coated arrows. They are essentially armor piercing arrows. These do a good amount of damage as well. To find them, after the small laser helicopters appear, keep running down the walkway and at the end near the stairs are the AFPSDS Cores inside a light tan crate. VI. Contacting Me - CON ----------------------- So you found something wrong with the FAQ; typo that's been bugging you, missing a location, have the wrong buttons for an attack, got the wrong upgrade price, that sort of thing. Anyway, if you need to get a hold of me, e-mail me at: schererenator(at)gmail(dot)com And replace (at) with @ and (dot) with ".", for all you non-smart people out there. I will not read the following e-mails: - asking about the main game. This is for ITEMS, not a walkthrough. - asking how to beat bosses. Again, items, not walkthrough. - hate mail. It's a waste of my time and your time. Just don't. - e-mails with little/no grammar or spelling whatsoever. I don't want to take the time to read an e-mail that looks like this: ur faq is awesom can u pleaz tel me how 2 find a scrab kthanx bai NO. JUST NO. Never will I even glance at these. These kind of e-mails go straight into the trash. If you DO send me an e-mail, make sure the subject says "GameFAQs" somewhere in it. If I don't reply within a couple of days, don't resend it or freak out. I'm probably at school or doing something else. Don't worry though; I generally respond to every e-mail I get. VII.
