Hints
Special attack
Press [Y] + [B] to unleash a super attack that will seriously hurt anyone.
Kill enemies quickly
To kill an enemy very fast, jump towards them fairly close using [A], then quickly tap [Y] immediately before you hit them. You should either throw them with the guillotine throw or slice their heads off. If they keep trying to get off the ground, tap [Y] again to pin them down or cut their head off. This is useful when you need some extra money, are almost dead, or when you just simply want to get through the section quickly because of frustration.
Less battle damage
When you are grabbed by an enemy or a Boss such as the Dragon, mash the buttons quickly to escape without taking full damage.
Defeating Alma
To defeat Alma (red greater fiend), equip the Vigorian Flails. It is recommended that they be completely leveled up. With the Vigorian Flail, you can still hurt Alma greatly even when she is in the air. Note: The shuriken, incendiary shuriken, and bow cannot hurt her; they just bounce off.
In order to defeat Alma's second form you must be patient and dodge her attacks as in the first form. Wait for her attack dodge, then attack with a three to five hit combo. Beware of her grapple attack, as it is more powerful than before.
Defeating Doku
Keep using the Flying Swallow attack ([A] towards the enemy, then [Y]). Every time you hit him, roll back, then jump. After that, try the Electric Ninpo attack. Then, repeat the process. If Doku keeps blocking the Flying Swallow attack, keep attacking him with it until it hits him. When he throws his sword, you can either jump over it, or roll and jump backwards. When he is doing his combo attack, attack him when he is at the last attack of his combo.
Defeating Ghost Fish
when you go near a group of Ghost Fish, jump into the fishes and press [X] to do a whirlwind attack. Repeat this process after you land and the fishes will not be able to touch you. If you do get caught, do an Ice Ninpo to get them off. This is especially useful on your way up the tower in Chapter 15.
Equip the Vigoorian Flails. When encountering Ghost Fish, they will pause before attacking you all at once. Wait until one moves then tap [X] a few times until they are dead. More will appear. Wait until their first movement to attack, or you will attack too early and will stop twirling the flails before they are all dead. It is possible to get a combo of 46 hits in the group of Ghost Fish next to the doorway that opens to the long staircase going down to the great bridge.
Defeating Lava Dragon
There is a way, when the Lava Dragon tries to bite you and holds his head for a few seconds while you can attack him, you can jump on top of his head and stand there briefly and attack him further. Do the homing jump ([A] + [X]), but this not happen consistently. Either way, whenever you can do it, it hurts him a lot. Also try doing a Ninpo attack on top of its head.
Defeating Red Dragons
When you get to the coliseum where you first fought Doku, there are sixty Red Dragons. Stand on one of the lower platforms and use the [Y] attack to kill them.
Defeating the Dragon Boss
To defeat him, try to level up your Lightning Ninpo to the maximum. Constantly run left or right. When he flaps his wings you will take a little block damage. The only way to hit him without getting in the lava is to hit his head when he lays it down momentarily. Try using the Flying Air Dash attack. He will try to grab you immediately afterwards; throw in a Ninpo just after that attack. If you need to use a Great Devil Elixer, it will be useful.
Boss
When facing this Boss, make sure you have full projectile weapon ammunition and at least one extra Great Devil Elixir. When the Boss is just standing around in the lava, use the Incendiary Shurikens so they have a better chance of hitting. When he is walking around, use the Metal Arrows or the Explosive Arrows. Use the normal arrows when they are all that you have remaining. If he is still alive and walking around in the lava and you are out of ranged weapons, you can either try using Ninpo attacks, throw the Windmill Shuriken at him, or run out in the lava and try to fight him. When he attacks with the barrage of skeleton heads, you will get annihilated if you do not know what to do. To prevent this from happening, you can try to roll and jump around, but are probably going to get beat down. You can use the Vigoorian Flail and swing away. You can also try using a Ninpo attack, such as the Ice Shards. When the main head comes in to attack, be in a Ninpo attack so that it does not eat you, or try rolling and jumping to the side and he will miss. When it is almost dead, it jumps onto the rock with you and you can finish it off.
Defeating the first Holy Vigoor Emperor form
To defeat the first form of the Holy Vigoor Emperor without using Elixirs, Nipo, or projectile weapons, dodge his laser attack then attack him. Equipping the Armlet Of Sun and True Dragon Sword is recommended; attack him at the arms and chest with blade of Twin Headed Dragons or Dragon Tear and Blade Of Dragons Tail.
Defeating Spirit Piranha
These enemies can kill you very quickly and are extremely difficult to get away from. They tend to leave a high amount of red Ki orbs. Simply use the Fire Wheels Ninpo and run through them. You should get enough red orbs to replenish your Ki. Also, use the Bracelet that enhances the red orbs.
When at the core of the place, after each room you will go upstairs. Instead of burning up all your Ninpo attacks, equip the Vigorian Flails (maxed out) and the Armlet Of Tranquillity. Usually, you have to face 25 to 30 on each stairway. Wail away using the Vigoian Flail and you will be rewarded with a lot of Essence. Rest afterwards if needed to replenish the life bar. This also keeps you from using up all of your Spirit Elixirs.
Hint: Defeating the Vigorian Emperor's second form (Giant Skull Spider):
In order to defeat the final form of the Vigorian Emperor, you must have at least two Great Devil Elixirs and your projectiles maxed out. Equip the Ice Ninpo. Wait for him to start shooting out skulls at you. As soon as you see those fly out of him, hit your Ninpo attack. This will protect you and damage him at the same time. As soon as the skulls are done flying, he comes in for a grapple attack that causes instant death. If you time the Ninpo correctly, this will be blocked. After each Ninpo attack, hit him with either explosive shurikens or arrows, which will also inflict some damage. Keep alternating between these attacks. After about five times of doing this, he should be defeated.
Defeating Zombies
Use the diving [Y] attack that takes off their head. It will not kill them, but they will be blind.
When facing the zombies under the cathedral and one of them happen to lunge at you and starts biting, press [X] + [A] as quickly as possible to kick it off and reduce the amount of damage that you receive.
Chapter 4: Hidden Scarab
When you go through the door with the three green eyes before going into the room to fight the black ninjas, go to Ryu's left. In the thing that looks like a bathtub full of water, you will find a Scarab.
Chapter 4: Windmill Shuriken and Chapter 7: Elixirs
Just before battling Alma, when you exit the monk's room and enter the cathedral room (top floor), you should see two catwalks leading to the big window towards the cathedral entrance on both sides of the room. There is a chest in each of them. They contain one Great Devil Elixir and one Great Spirit Elixir.
Chapter 8: Helicopter
While you cannot defeat the helicopter that arrives at the end of Chapter 8, you can save yourself the trouble of endlessly dodging around and getting smacked around by its missiles. When the helicopter intermission sequence ends, just hold [Block]. For some reason if you do not move, the helicopter will not shoot its missiles at you. Just hold [Block] against the machine gun fire until the helicopter goes away. You will not receive any damage for blocking bullets.
Chapter 10: Defeating the Boss
The Boss is similar to a big skeletal bird. He mainly uses a laser-type attack, and it is fairly simple to dodge. After dodging his attacks, quickly run up to him and position yourself between his legs.tUse The Art Of The Ice Storm Ninpo. This is very effective. He will either fly to the other end of the room or position himself on a platform above you. Just keep dodging any attack he throws your way. If he was on the platform, he will eventually come back down to the floor. Repeat this tactic as many times as needed. You should go into this battle with at least two Devil Elixirs. After doing this tactic a few times, he should be defeated.
