INTRODUCTION: [SE1]

Hello, and welcome to my FAQ/Walkthrough of Tenchu Z for the Xbox 360.
Now this is the eight game of the series of this stealth action game.
As one that includes ninjas, you can expect to be hopping over buildings
and assassinating targets. Well, being stealthy isn't always easy, so
that's why I wrote this FAQ/Walkthrough of the game. I will run through
the basics, and each of the game's 50 missions. Also, I will explain
certain aspects of the game in detail when they aren't that easy to
grasp. And I will also be giving you some tips for effective completion
of the game. Well, first, let's start with the controls, eh?

##################################################
BASICS:  [SE3]

Here, I will explain some terms and tactics 
which are a must- know in order to hold your own in this game.




Stealth Kills-
These are what the game's basic mechanics revolve around.
To perform a stealth kill, you must first sneak up next to an
enemy, and press down on the attack button. To know if you are
able to perform a stealth kill, a large circular emblem will appear 
over the enemy. The are easier/best done when the enemy does not
know that you are there.

Running-
Why would you run around an area when you're supposed to be 
sneaking? Well, that same concept is applied in this game.
Running is noisy, and leaves you easy to see by enemies. This
is not the recommended way to get from point a to point b. So
replace running with rolling. This is fast, quiet, and an easy 
way to set up a stealth kill.

Ninja 5 Rank-
Getting this rank will net you more gold than you normally would,
but to get this rank you must be efficient in banging out stealth
kills. Make every kill a stealth one,be unseen, and you'll net your
self a lot of these.


Getting familiar with those techniques is essential if you want to
succeed in this game. So after glancing at that part of the guide,
prepare for the walkthrough.

 






###################################################
WALKTHROUGH:  [SE4]

Here is how I will outline the mission structure.
I will label the requirements as 'Dos', and the failures as 
'Don'ts'
MISSION 1:
~~~~~~~~~~

DOS: Assassinate Rokube Echigoya
DON'TS: Death of main character

Despite all my forewarnings of stealth, for this mission, you can 
just rush past to Echigoya's room. When you come close to his building,
slow down a little, and avoid the guards. Then, after sheathing your sword, 
approach his room. Press up against the door, and wait for the marker of 
a stealth kill when his shadow comes by.
Roll fast, and through the entrance. The wait by the lantern until a guard 
walks by. Roll towards him, and take him out stealthily. Waiting will cause
another guard nearby to notice you. Get to his location (the deck) and
stealth kill him as he walks away. For the next guard, wait in the field
for a while until he walks towards you. Roll to him to take him out with
a stealth kill. Head north now. You'll come into an open hallway. Wait at
the corner for a guard to turn and walk away. As soon as he does, you know 
what to do. (stealth kill him). Now jump into the walkway, and close in on
Echigoya's door. Take him out by the method mentioned in the beginning.


MISSION 2:
~~~~~~~~~~

DOS: Assassinate Izaemon Kimura
DON'TS:Character death

Now, by taking this route, you can avoid getting the guards to notice
you. Jump onto the boardwalk, and climb the wall with high jump. Follow
it to the NE 'til you get close enough to jump onto the closest rooftop.
Run over it south and jump away to a second building. Cross this to a 
third roof south, and stop at the hallway near the roof.It's just before
Kimura's building. Drop off and leap onto the walkway. Press up to the
door and take him out in the same manner as Echigoya.




MISSION 3:
~~~~~~~~~~

DOS: Collect 10 bombs
DON'TS: Character death




Stealth isn't all that much of a factor. The bombs appear as golden 
stars on your map, so all you have to do is follow them. You can even
just run past the guards, and still complete the mission with minimal 
difficulty.



MISSION 4:
~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Find the informer
DON'TS:Character death


This part can be difficult only because it may be hard to see/know
what the informer looks like. So I have provided a simple map that
shows you the path to take. After taking the path, the informer can't
be missed.




--------------------------------------

             X  ----
    ###########    |      
    #         #
    #         #     |
    ###########      |   
                       |
                         |
                          |
          ###########          
          #         #      |
          #         #
          ###########      |


                           |
                          O                  
   
---------------------------------------

The big circle signifies your starting point,
and the path shows where you must pass through.
The x is the informer, and he is just around the corner
of the second building you will pass. Piece of cake, huh?





MISSION 5:
~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Reach target point
DON'TS:Character death


This is one easy mission. All you have to do is cross a bride. The bridge is
even marked on the map. So there really isn't much to say.



MISSION 6:
~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Assasinate Moichi Tanbaya
DON'TS:Character death

You main goal here is to run through the cave, whilst ignoring enemies,
entering the building at the end to encounter Tanyaba. Following him
up with a bunch of sword slashes will quickly end the mission, and Tanbaya's
life.( Make a wide arc to the left to approach the guard at the side.)

MISSION 7:
~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Recapture the Matchlock Gun Blueprints
DON'TS:Character death

There is going to be a castle with many layers that you are going to
be tasked with navigating. It can be very easy to be going the wrong way
so sticking to the areas stated will prevent that. Ignore the guards for 
the most past of this mission. This tactic is usually your best bet at a
successful mission. After passing up a staircase, turn left and go
through a gate on the right. This will lead you to the watch tower. Climb
your way to the main entrance. When there, climb through the window on the
right, and run down the hall to a room in the back. You will find the 
blueprints on the floor.


MISSION 8:
~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Iukichi Otowa
DON'TS:Character death

There is a guard that is very close to its leader. This makes it very
hard to assassinate him. So you will have to move around him. Roll over
the roof to the back side of the building. Follow the wall there north
to the hallway, but hang by the corner until a guard passes through. He
will walk up a hall, and as he does, you can jump into the hall, roll into
the room on the left, and stealth kill your main target.



MISSION 9:
~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Tatsuichi Shimizu
DON'TS:Character death

Fortunately, this is another one of the particularly easy missions. Ignore
the guards who are posted around as you make your way to the building in the
northeastern corner. When you get inside, you'll meet your target. The first
and only action of this mission come when you kill your target (Stealthily
or otherwise)


MISSION 10:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Assassinate Rinzetsu the Monk
DON'TS:Character death

To perform and complete this mission easily, it is recommended that you do 
the following: Leap from the roof to a wall on the left. Follow it west
to the edge. The target is in the building ahead, but he is surrounded by
guards. So go in through the eastern entrance. It's closest to where you
stand right now. Wait for the two closest guards to evacuate the staircase
and roll into the entrance before you are spotted. Wait for the monk to pass 
by, and slowly open the door he's in to stealth kill him



MISSION 11:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Reach the target point
DON'TS:Character death

Again, the game developers were very lenient in this level. And just what
were they lenient in? The whole level. It is like the other target point 
mission; this means that all you have to do is follow the path that is 
written out in your map. 


MISSION 12:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Punish the corrupt official
DON'TS:Character death

In this familiar area, the leader is in the central part of the building.
There are two entrances into the room, but the western one is your best
bet. Head for the north east corner of the main building,for starters, and
then turn left into the building, allowing a guard to walk past. Before 
blindly walking into the corner: peek, and stealth kill the nearest guard.
Then sheath your sword, open the door, and roll in as fast as you can for a
quick stealth kill, and mission completion.


MISSION 13:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Steal Ronin list
DON'TS:Character death



This level has a particularly confusing layout. And it is pretty hard to
find the list, since there aren't any clues as to where it is. However, that
is what this guide is for. From your starting point, just head straight, 
following the wall to your right. When you finally reach the far end,turn the
corner, and then leap over the wall and enter the closest building entrance.
Turn inside your first room on your right to find the Ronin list.


MISSION 14:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Assassinate Morizo Daikokuya
DON'TS:Character death

Now for this mission, you go back to good old fashion assassinations. Start
out by following the rooftops to a portion that is thin. It is in the NE
corner, and leads to the leader's room. Check for guards when you reach the
area and wait for them to clear. Drop down and go inside the door. When the
leader passes by, get out your sword, and stealth kill him.



MISSION 15:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Lady Miyabi
DON'TS:Character death

The lady is in the building that is furthest to the northeast. Getting there
can be done in numerous ways, but the best would be to grapple up on to the 
wall, head north and over the gate, taking a sharp right, and then keep 
heading east. When in the building, wait and look past the door for the
leader to turn and have her back facing you. Stealth kill her.



MISSION 16:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Follow Helsuke Echlgoya
DON'TS:Lose him

For this mission, you are gonna have to make like a paparazzi, and stalk
the target. You can't kill him, and you can't be spotted by him. On your map 
is a yellow route that he takes. Glance it over, because that is where we
are headed as well. You can take any route you like to get to him, but
try starting out on the rooftops. Jump to the next buildings, and down into
an alley. He should be passing by now, so try to remain unseen. Now just 
follow him to the gates that he passes to, and you should be all set. A timer
will start if you get to far from him, so no lolly gagging.


MISSION 17:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Heisuke Echigoya
DON'TS:Character death

Now just to start off, it is recommended (by the game developers themselves)
to have purchased Rain attack from the village. Then, this mission should be
at standard difficulty. Speed over to a boat in the NW corner. Lool around
for some flash bombs, and then get onto the boat. Now you're gonna be in for
a boss battle. Use your attacks on him, but try to get him to the edge of the
boat. The flash bomb come in handy here. When the time is right, use your grab
attack to throw him into the water.


MISSION 18:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Anest Tadarl
DON'TS:Character death

From the boat, go to a house in the northeast section, and head over to the
rooftops about three houses from the furthest building. He will be walking
outside, near the house, so stay sharp, follow him, and stealth kill him.


MISSION 19:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Goken the Monk
DON'TS:Character death


Now, this mission isn't anything out of the ordinary. You've probably
already done the steps in an earlier mission. Walk or roll towards the
NE building, and take out the target when he passes by you. There is a 
guard nearby, though, so either stealth kill him, or avoid him long
enough to take out the main target.



MISSION 20:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Kill all enemies
DON'TS:Death


Now all you have to do is hack and slash 20 enemies that can be found
around the level. Since your main objective is killing everyone anyway,
being stealthy is more of a personal choice than a necessity. 



MISSION 21:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Recapture the Secret Documents
DON'TS:Death

Here, you are tasked with picking up some documents which have to do with
some secret recipe for an Arby's menu item................or something. Oh,
no they're just secret documents. Run to the NE building, and find that rec-
er, those documents, and just avoid any guards on the way.


MISSION 22:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Save the villagers
DON'TS:Death


Now here, you have to play super hero, and rescue some villagers. They are
being held captive in a building that's just west of the town's center.
Ignore the guards, and head there for an easy completion. (You don't even
have to dodge bullets)


MISSION 23:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Recapture the secret teachings
DON'TS:Death


Now when you start, head to the northwestern most room. Give the guards
the silent treatment as you head on through to get back those teachings.
You can pretty much take any approach to get to the building, so long
as you ignore the guards.


MISSION 24:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Agent Otwa
DON'TS:Death

Now this time, you're heading to the northeastern most building. Keep out
of the guards' way, as you approach the house. Wait till you see the target's
shadow in the building, then slowly make your way and stealth kill 'em.


MISSION 25:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Kanbe Yoshida
DON'TS:Death


There will be a temple nearby. Run up the staircase, then climb up the wall
onto the second floor. Jump through a window, an onto the third floor. Then
head to a window situated on the east. The leader is nearby, sitting in the 
center of the room. Slowly come up from behind and stealth kill him.


MISSION 26:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Obtain the secret letter
DON'TS:Death

Now here, all you have to do is ignore the guards, and then follow the bridge
path to a hill. A quick scan should net you the love letter. Or secret letter
, rather.


MISSION 27:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Agent Osae
DON'TS:Death


The SE most building is your destination for this mission. Head east from 
where you start, and do some rooftop hopping until you come across a hill.
It is next to a wall that you should follow south, and then go up the 
building you come across. Now go in there with your sword draw, and stealth 
kill the lady to end this mission.



MISSION 28:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Assassinate Master Gunzo
DON'TS:Death

Now here, getting spotted by enemies will cause them to alert the leader
of your presence, so roll up to them, when they are near  you, and stealth
kill them. First, jump onto the wall next to you, and follow it in the 
direction of a huge building. Wait near the entrance, unseen, for the leader
turn away from you. When they have their back turned to you, stealth kill 
him like you did his guards.



MISSION 29:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Fuchisuke Tarumaya
DON'TS:Death

Get onto the wall in front of you by grappling. Then follow it to the NE 
by a large building. Jump down near a hallway that will come into sight.
Take a right, when you reach the end, and make another right. Play the 
waiting game until you hear/see someone coming. That will be you target,
so stealth kill him without hesitation.





MISSION 30:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Collect 10 bombs
DON'TS:Death

Now all you have to do here is to refer to your map for the bombs that
are closest to you. Just step over them when you are near them. None of 
them are really out of the way, so you should have no problems with this
mission.



mission 31:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Sutemaru the Echo
DON'TS:Death


Follow your map through the buildings upwards in a this fashion:
|
|
|
  -  - - -
          ]
           ]  
            ]
            x
Star out from the x and make your way to the SW most building.
Wait for them so turn away from you and then stealth kill them.


MISSION 32:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Rescue Agent Matskuichi
DON'TS:Death

Head north and then left to find a cave. Ignoring the guards, head into the
cave to find who you are looking for.


MISSION 33:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Obtain plans of enemy base
DON'TS:Death

Now go in the opposite direction of the previous mission (NE this time)
and you'll soon see the plans lying on the ground




MISSION 34:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Agent Okel
DON'TS:Death
 

You have to go to the northeast. Start by going all the way around the found
ation's perimeter. This will lessen your chances of encounters with the
guards. Now while there, carefully investigate the area. There are a lot of
guards around. When the coast is clear, head into the room they walked 
away from and stealth kill the leader.



MISSION 35:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Mansaku Toe
DON'TS:Death


Refer to mission 10 and 19 for this one, simply because it is almost
identical. Just watch out for an approaching guard when you get close
to your destination. 



MISSION 36:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Ninja Master Denki
DON'TS:Death


Now, you're gonna want to heard over to the north eastern most AREA, not
building. Because the target is idly walking in an alley. You can sneak
up on him, but wait till he's absolutely close to you/won't notice you.



MISSION 37:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Reach target point
DON'TS:Death


Here, you just have to go to the area pinpointed in your map.
Follow the walls you come across until you see the end. Climb up to 
higher ground, and jump to a cell, which is your destination.


MISSION 38:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Kill all enemies
DON'TS:Death

Now there are only seventeen enemies to kill. 3 less than your last
mission of similar name. Just walk around corners and peek through
and you should be home free. (After you kill them, of course)



MISSION 39:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Reach target point
DON'TS:Death

All you have to do here is walk to the gates on the NE. Ignore enemies,
and you'll be done faster tan you can realize that there wasn't any
difficulty.


MISSION 40:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Mistress Tachibana
DON'TS:Death


Climb the wall in front of you to the roofs. Building hop until you
come to the far NE corner. Wait for the shadow of the leader to pass
by, and the drop down and end her life.


MISSION 41:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Recapture the secret documents
DON'TS:Death


Run past the courtyard to a building in the center of the level. The 
documents wait you there, and so open the door to get them.


MISSION 42:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Kill all enemies
DON'TS:Death

Who likes blackjack? You do, you say? Well that's good, cause you
have to eliminate 21 enemies. This level is pretty straight forward,
so playing a game of blackjack may actually be harder than 
completing this level.



MISSION 43:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Gensuke
DON'TS:Death


Jump onto a wall and follow it left to the west building. Get into
the entrance, which is connected to a hall. Sneak through, taking out 
anyone is your path, and then (when there isn't any one left to obstruct
your goal), stealth kill the leader.



MISSION 44:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Yamumasa Mitsune
DONT'S:Death


Take any path on your map that leads to the temple. Ignore the guards
around and make your way inside. In the back right room, you will see 
leader pacing bath and forth. Time a stealth kill and end the mission.


MISSION 45:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Collect 10 bombs
DON'TS:Death

Another easy, and straight forward mission. Just look at your map
for the location of the bombs,and you're done already.


MISSION 46:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Kill all enemies
DON'TS:Death


20 enemies await you. The level isn't big, so spotting all of them as
you go along isn't difficult. Jut pep through corners to get an idea of
where to go, and kill them all.



MISSION 47:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Assassinate Piet Niklet
DON'TS:Death

Go up and left till you come across a building with a visible hallway.
The target is in the second room to the left. Wait for him to turn and
then proceed to stealth kill him.



MISSION 48:
~~~~~~~~~~~


DOS:Kill all enemies
DON'TS:Death

Another 21 enemies that roam the level await your blade. You know
what to do (since there really isn't any variation to the other kill
'em all missions)



MISSION 49:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Assassinate Shizo Kurokawa
DON'TS:Death

Run up, then right till you come to an opening. You are heading to
a fenced area, and the target is here as well. Peek through to
see his whereabouts and quickly stealth kill him before anyone 
notices.


MISSION 50:
~~~~~~~~~~~

DOS:Assassinate Nagayori Ogawara
DON'TS:Death

This is it. The final mission. Which also means, a final boss. The boss
of this level is located on the top room of the temple. This level can
be difficult, do I will explain  what you have to do. Climb the steps
to the second floor balcony of the temple, and grapple to the boss'
window. After  a scene you will prepare for battle. Jump to the east
window onto the floor, and  wait for the boss to come to you. You should
be next to the waterway. After he approaches you, slash him into the
direction into the water. If he falls in you win. However, you have a 2nd
boss to fight. Wait for him to come to you, and do the same thing. You
will have beat the boss, and the game!
